Chapter 163: Count Samory's Panic and the Call to Resistance

Along the way, even though they were blocked by soldiers at the toll station again, Sunan did not pay the toll this time, and even let Vasily drive the carriage through.

They went directly to the castle of Samory.

The level of guarding at Samori at this moment was actually much more lax than Sunan had imagined.

It was basically not difficult for them to enter the city area in front of Samori Castle.

The whole city area seems to be in great chaos.

Soldiers rampaged through their own city, knocking rudely on the doors of every house they considered suspicious.

There seemed to be many pagan thugs inside the city, or rather, these thugs themselves were the main residents of the city of Samori.

As long as Count Samori abuses his subjects and discriminates against those who believe in the God of Law, these subjects will continue to attack the soldiers of the Samori territory.

More rebels hid in the countryside and villages of the Samori territory, attacking cities and capturing strongholds.

They were unable to fight against the Samori family, which had a large number of storm knights, so they could only use guerrilla warfare to harass and destroy every valuable thing in the Samori territory.

Now, all industry and commerce in the Samori territory have declined.

The merchants and craftsmen who moved away continued to gather here because of the economic appeal of Maple Leaf City.

Sunan glanced at the residential area of ​​Samori City behind him, where a small church of the God of Law was being demolished. At the same time, soldiers were supervising workers building a new church of the God of Storms at the original location.

The soldiers whipped the priests and civilians who wanted to protect the Church of the God of Law, shouting, "If you want to stay in this country, you must convert to another religion."

"This country cannot tolerate untouchables like you who believe in the God of Law."

"Listen carefully, the Count has ordered that from today onwards, all those who believe in the God of Law cannot have their own church, cannot hold mass, cannot walk on the streets, and everyone must pay triple the head tax!"

‘Pa~’

The sergeant swung the whip, and the whip landed on the head of a young priest. With a sharp scream from the young deacon, he was knocked to the ground and fell into a coma.

The surrounding civilians were panicked and surrounded the little priest, trying to protect their priest.

At the same time, Sunan asked Vasily to drive the carriage to the front of Samori Castle.

Even if there were soldiers blocking the road, after seeing Vasilyan's terrifying eyes and Sunan's carriage with the emblem of a high-ranking noble, they did not dare to speak to Sunan forcefully and were unable to stop him at all.

Vasilyan threw the five corpses directly at the gate of the Samori family castle. The soldiers of the Samori family who were unable to dodge were crushed to the ground by the corpses.

The official Storm Knight of the Samori family who was guarding the castle gate seemed very angry. He learned Sunan's identity from the family emblem on the carriage. He suppressed his anger and said to Sunan, "Lord Count Peter."

"I think you have been feeling very proud recently. You just became an earl, and you want to come to our territory to show off your power? Especially at this time when our family is in turmoil!"

"What do you want to do here? Can I regard this as a provocation to our Count Samory?"

"You are so arrogant to go deep into our territory alone. Even if you are the Lord of Storm, you must give us an explanation today!"

Sunan waited for a while, waiting for the messenger from the Samori family, and hurriedly reported to Count Samori.

Count Samori walked to the castle gate with five official knights and eleven knight squires from their family headquarters.

At the same time, at least two hundred elite soldiers trained by Samori appeared at the castle gate.

These elite soldiers, armed with bows and crossbows, were on the castle, ready for battle.

Apparently, when Count Samori heard that Sunan had brought his men to his castle, he subconsciously thought that Sunan was coming with his army.

He was so anxious that he quickly summoned the elite forces of his family and rushed to the gate of the castle.

Count Samory was a strong middle-aged man, but he looked frail now. He had a bandage on his left hand hanging on his chest, and his face was pale.

At this moment, the Count of Samori was relieved when he saw that Sunan came alone, with at most a very powerful knight by his side, because it meant that Sunan was not coming to conquer his territory.

At other times, Count Samory would definitely not be afraid, but only on this stormy day, he was a little worried that the rebels would directly attack his castle. If it were not for the Storm Knights suppressing them, he would have chosen to escape temporarily.

Although the Storm Knights suppressed the rebels, for some unknown reason, one official knight and three knight squires died on his side.

It seems that the rebels also have military forces that can threaten the Storm Knights.

This has made Count Samori worried these days. His family also has a territory on three barren islands among the hundreds of islands in the Naxos Archipelago in the Mediterranean.

There were a few days when he wanted to go there to avoid the limelight.

He will come back after the people have calmed down.

Now, he has moved his wife and children to the island, but Count Samori did not expect that Sunan would come to him at this time, and even in a menacing manner, with a knight who looks very powerful beside him.

Different from the indignation of the official knights of the Samori family, Count Samori, who was already paralyzed by the rebellion of his subjects, did not speak harshly to Sunan. He just asked Sunan in confusion and anger: "Count Peter, why did you come to my castle and provoke me?"

"No matter what, you have to give our Samori family an explanation today. Otherwise, other lords will think that the Samori family is easy to bully."

"I know you have a good relationship with Cardinal Frederick Borgia and you are very capable. But we have never interfered with each other before. Today, I don't know what made you angry."

Count Samori coughed a few times. "My eldest son, who I had high hopes for, was even killed by those untouchables who believed in the God of Law five days ago. How hateful."

"As the Lord of Storms, Lord of the God of Storms, and nobles of the kingdom, we should be more united at this time. But why, Earl Peter..."

Vasily interrupted him. "Unity? Foolish Count Samori, look at the five bodies we threw at you."

"The premise of unity is that you are reliable people, not conspirators who arrange assassinations. Why was my master assassinated by your family's soldiers when he passed through your family's territory? This is a naked declaration of war. Samori family, are you choosing war?"

The Samori family hurried to check the five bodies.

The conclusion shocked everyone in the Samori family.

Because these five soldiers were all their people, and for some unknown reason, they deliberately carried a large number of tokens of the Samori family. Some officers had even recognized the identities of these five people.

Assassination?

The knights of Samori immediately looked at their own earl with suspicion.

Count Samori, he wouldn't be so stupid as to assassinate another earl's family at this time, right?
Count Samori was stunned, and then he was filled with anger towards the mob, and then he quickly and nervously explained to Sunan: "Count Peter, this is definitely a misunderstanding."

"This is a trap. This must be a trap set by those mobs to make us Storm Lords kill each other. You must not fall into their trap."

"I never gave such an order."

Count Samori even began to stamp his feet and curse. "God damn the God of Law, God damn the Eastern Empire, these lowly people can't obey me no matter what?"

Faintly, Sunan and he both heard, in the city area of ​​Samori not far from the castle, the shouts of Samori civilians marching on the streets, braving the swords of the soldiers.

"Let the people of Storm Kingdom leave our land!"

"This is the land where we have lived for generations. Why should we let the Storm Lord rule us?"

"No matter how powerful the Storm Knights are, they only have a dozen of them, while we have more than 100,000! As long as we unite, we can overthrow the tyranny of the Knights."

Count Samori turned pale when he heard the faint shouts. He walked down the wall, opened the castle gate, and hurriedly led his men to Sunan, hoping to get Sunan's forgiveness. "Count Sunan, I am willing to compensate you for your losses."

"I know how you feel now, and I understand. Anyone who is assassinated will feel bad. But this is definitely not me."

"I can compensate you."
