When Alay brought Oleka, Geral and other members of the Iron Tooth Group to the warehouse, there were many signs of movement of the rope that was originally tied tightly - of course, there were no signs of loosening;

The footsteps of the crowd alarmed the people inside; they all made weak calls for help.

After discovering that the door handle was tied, these people desperately tried to break the door open, but in vain - who is so immoral? Curse him!

When Alay cut off the rope and opened the door, the people inside looked pale;

The people of the Iron Tooth Group had already changed into the uniform costumes of the guards of Baiyan Castle; as for Ailey, those who often go to the taverns were familiar with his image.

These people did not resist, they were completely out of strength;

Alay did not search for parchment on them; but he found fragments of parchment in the corner of the warehouse without much effort.

Although it is a bit difficult to fight, it is at least evidence.

The group was taken back to Baiyan Fort, and Flan was in a bad mood while waiting - she didn't expect that there were people trampling in the city!

The attitudes of other accomplices are still unknown, but Hayjas's crimes are truly unforgivable.

According to the law, it was considered lenient to send a rebellious act like Hejace to the gallows; but now he cannot be killed.

Fran considered this: if these people were killed, the information would be cut off—there should be only the relevant information in the hands of Heijace;

Moreover, if you use the gallows during this period, it may make the residents too panic... After all, Count David had never used it during his reign.

In this case, Fran could only order people to throw them into the dungeon and interrogate them strictly so that they could speak out the information as soon as possible - it would be fine to use some special techniques.

Seeing the dead-looking idle men being sent into the dungeon, Ailey felt a little relieved.

But it was just some; I wonder how many people in the city were ill-treated about Fran? Tamad felt uncomfortable when he thought about it.

After abandoning the disguise, even if they wear extremely strict city lord robe, many people will have dirty ideas.

But as the countess, it is impossible for her to not show up... Tsk, the lord of Baiyan City is really not a good position.

"Arey?" Fran looked at Arey with a cloudy face, "It's really thanks to you this time... Well, is it because of your discomfort?"

"It's okay." Aire looked around, and then quickly walked to Fran's side: "Do you like the position of the Lord of Baiyan City? Is it important to you?"

"…To be honest, I hate this position very much." Fran lowered his head slightly, "but it is indeed more important to me; this is the adopted father who stayed, and if he wants to counterattack Marquis Lelan, it is absolutely not enough to rely on your and my strength alone."

"This old guy Lelan..." Ailey was so angry that his teeth were itchy, "I know, this guy is worse than Tad! It was the incident he caused!"

"But he is much stronger and smarter than Tad." Fran learned some information from books and the old genus of the Clinder family. "I have a bad premonition...I have no confidence in success..."

Alay felt a sense of powerlessness - even though he defeated enemies stronger than him again and again, this could only work in a one-on-one challenge at most; for the superior Marquis, he had no chance to use all his small tricks.

But he could not express it; obviously, the girl in front of him needed his own comfort and affirmation even more.

"Just don't have confidence in success, right?" Ailey gently stroked Fran's hair, "Don't worry, we will all survive...at least we won't die here."

...

Blackjace is not as hard as Fran expected;

What he knew was not as rich as Fran thought.

He knew only some of the things; the envoys of the Marquis of Lelan knew that these idle men were not strict, did not act closely, and had no hard bones, and did not say much to them at all.

But just this part of the matter is deadly enough.

The spies sent by Marquis Lelan had already penetrated into Baiyan City;

These people would hang out as travel merchants, bards or idle men, enter Baiyan City and slander Fran’s reputation;

They will start from every angle, from attacking Fran herself to criticizing her actions;

Although Fran has a high status in the minds of the people, he cannot withstand those people's fancy rumors.

The reason why the recruitment a few days ago was so poor was because those people interfered and persuaded those who had joined to withdraw from the team.

These people have no way to distinguish; and, the most annoying thing is that some people will regard "discovering the city lord's conspiracy" as something worth showing off and explaining it to their relatives and friends;

This is equivalent to spies, and the spies have developed countless offline operations, which is simply deadly.

However, they are not the only ones who are bribed;

Some of the wealthy businessmen in the city have also led to the Marquis of Lelan;

They had sufficient motivation to oppose Earl Fran—her existence prevented the wealthy businessmen from extracting benefits from the people.

These rich and idle guys can not only slander Fran more effectively, but also interfere with the city's material supplies to a certain extent;

They knew that Fran would not use coercive means to attack them until the matter was serious enough.

No wonder all the merchants have obstructed purchase orders these days, either raising prices or being out of stock. It turns out that they are waiting here...

But Fran had no way of doing anything to them.

Although the iron teeth under his subordinates have enough to confiscate their property, if you do such a thing, your reputation should drop to freezing point;

If it was just a matter of face, Fran could do it without hesitation; but it was not just a matter of face.

Those damn nobles probably had already received the news and were waiting for the situation now;

What you do in an extraordinary way may stimulate them; they are always wary of Fran’s actions on them. Once Fran touches their bottom line, they should choose...

It is better to start first.

The Iron Tooth Regiment and the recruited soldiers were not enough to defend the White Rock Fort under the siege of thousands.

After obtaining the results of the interrogation, Fran did not sleep all night;

This internal and external troubles is an extremely cruel torture for her who already has a weak sense of security.

Ailey was also very distressed; he was thinking desperately about ways to open up the situation, but he was not the material to plan the overall situation at all;

What's more, it's almost a dead end now.

Another day passed; the militia gathered in front of Baiyan Fort in the early morning were a little less.

At this rate, it is estimated that when Lelan comes, the militias in Baiyan City have already scattered...
