Chapter 51: The Destruction of Hagia Sophia and Its Voluntary Surrender

The next morning, when Baron Frank got up as usual, he asked his valet, a high-ranking servant, to bring him a basin of hot water.

Then he asked a soldier who had just been promoted to his personal guard (all the original personal guards had died) what had happened to the Bulgars in the territory.

Are they still besieging the castle and pillaging the villages around it?

Baron Frank was not prepared to hear any decent answer. He was even a little worried that the Bulgars could break into his castle and trample him to death with horses and cattle.

Unexpectedly, the soldier hesitated and said: "Baron, the Bulgars did not besiege us..."

Baron Frank was stunned for a moment, then asked his valet to take the towel away from his face, and then he showed a look of surprise. "How could it be?"

"Have they retreated?"

"Although they are not good at taking down castles...but...I thought I had to pay them a ransom before they would withdraw their troops and stop besieging the city."

"That's great! I can finally eat fresh vegetables and meat. What have I been eating these past few days?"

The soldier glanced at the Baron. He didn't expect that at this moment, the Baron was still thinking about eating fresh vegetables.

But the people in his territory, including his family, have all lost their lives.

The soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "Baron, it's not about retreating. It's just that... all those Bulgars died overnight."

“Even the idols they carried wherever they attacked completely disappeared from our territory overnight.”

"And everything they had looted was gone too."

Baron Frank turned his head in disbelief and looked at the civilian who had just been promoted. His eyes were wide open and his expression was extremely incredible.

Because he had personally fought against the Bulgars in his territory with the coalition forces. At that time, they had already deployed the tactics commonly used by the Storm Kingdom - infantry iron square and left and right wing cavalry tactics.

But when faced with the extremely agile Bulgar cavalry riding horses and cattle, their infantry phalanxes seemed clumsy and ridiculous, and their cavalry seemed extremely fragile.

When the two sides met, their armies immediately collapsed, followed by an extremely tragic defeat.

But how could such a powerful Bulgar people be wiped out overnight?

Who will the Bulgars target next?
Baron Frank suddenly thought of something, and struggled to get up from the bed, looking weakly towards the south of the territory - the direction of Baron Peter's territory.

He murmured to himself. "No wonder, Sunan... Lord Sunan didn't see us at that time. It turns out that he didn't need to see us at all."

"My territory has suffered too much damage. Even if there were no Bulgars, the lords of the surrounding territories are all potential enemies of mine."

"And the people from the former Eastern Empire in my territory will definitely rebel."

Fifty-seven years ago, the people of the Eastern Empire welcomed the arrival of the knights of the Storm Kingdom. They thought that this would help them get rid of the Eastern Empire's corrupt and vengeful political system and escape the plight of being a weak country.

Who would have known that the knights of the Storm Kingdom really did stop being corrupt and directly became feudal and semi-independent, with heavier taxes.

The knights of the Storm Kingdom were no longer weak, but each of them was more rude and brutal than the original civil government of the Eastern Empire.

Therefore, there are actually some potential rebellious thoughts in the territories of the major Storm Kingdoms.

"I must find a backer, otherwise my Frank family will disappear completely." Baron Frank secretly made up his mind.

This time his territory suffered the most serious loss. His former friends may become enemies and take a big bite out of the remaining part of his territory.

Seeing that Baron Frank remained silent, the soldier added in a low voice, "We checked the bodies at the scene, and there were traces of wolf bites everywhere."

"There was a Maple Leaf family crest at both sites, left in the grass."

……

"Baron? What's wrong with you?"

In Simon's territory, Baron Simon, who lost an arm, spent the whole day indulging in alcohol to cover up his pain and fear of the Bulgars. So when he learned at noon that all the Bulgars in Frank's territory had died tragically overnight, he was so shocked that he stood up.

After getting the specific information, his heart skipped a beat.

He looked towards the Barony of Peter to the east of his own territory and muttered to himself, "Who did it? The most likely person is..."

"No, you can't mess with Peter Territory anymore. Anyone of you...you...you...tell your subordinates not to provoke anyone from Peter Territory, and don't break into Peter Territory without permission. Things are different now."

He shouted at the top of his lungs: "I will kill anyone who dares to disobey my orders."

……

In the afternoon, at the northern edge of Barony Frank's territory, near the mountains of Northern Thrace, at the encampment of the Tuge clan.

This is a temporary stronghold of the Tuge clan, a tribe among the Bulgars.

At this moment, inside the tribal tent, the clan chief was staring at a Bulgar who had left the herdsmen's group last night and went out to rob the villagers of the Storm Kingdom. Fortunately, this man was not killed by the werewolf.

But he knew nothing. All he knew was that when he returned to the pastoral group the next morning, he found that everyone had been killed.

He was also very worried, and fled back while the people of Storm Kingdom had not yet reacted.

He reported the situation.

The chief of the Tuge tribe stared at him, extremely angry. "So the two outstanding herdsmen of our tribe and their herdsmen all died inexplicably over there. Is that what you want to tell me?"

"Then tell me who the murderer is. Which baron from the Storm Kingdom is he?"

"By the Lord of Beasts, I will crush all their heads."

There aren't many people in a clan tribe. A small tribe like theirs only has a few hundred people in total.

Unexpectedly, after one night, two elite herdsmen of their tribe were killed on the front line.

No, this isn't even the front line.

This was just an act of looting against the weak people of the Storm Kingdom, so who are they that are still resisting?

Could it be that the Duke and King of the Storm Kingdom have finally arrived?
The other herdsmen of the Tuge tribe looked at each other in bewilderment.

They are not murderous monsters. The reason they rob wherever they go is that they regard the residents of the Storm Kingdom as weak sheep and do not care about their resistance.

Now, with so many people dying at once, these herdsmen and herdsmen are a little scared and want to leave.

They came here to steal food and treasures, not to die.

At this time, the chief also wanted to leave.

They did not have the bad habit of engaging in head-on confrontations. They had already robbed enough things in this robbery, and they were not prepared to occupy the land and stay to become lords.

But at this moment, a Bulgar walked into the tent and said to the people inside: "Mighty Chief, there is news from the north."

"The great Grass King Kaloyang has massacred another city of the Storm Kingdom with a population of 100,000. This time it is the White City in the center of their kingdom. He also burned down the Hagia Sophia, which they are so proud of."

"The great Grass King Carlo Yang said that the people of the Storm Kingdom were treacherous and pretended to surrender, but the priests in Hagia Sophia actually assassinated him. Therefore, he issued an order to us, requiring us to slaughter everything we see, whether they surrender or not. We must make the people of the Storm Kingdom feel pain!"

The Bulgars in the tent became excited and began to roar in a low voice.

The chief, who was about to retreat, suddenly felt a surge of courage and said, "No need to retreat. Let's not attack that direction first. Let's attack the territories of the lords of the Storm Kingdom in other directions."

"When more Bulgars and other tribes come here, we will work together to reopen this looting route, burn all the farmland along this looting route, and kill all the lords. Hahahaha..."
