This special body fragrance seemed to fill people's minds with an increasingly astringent feeling, causing each of Lu Heng's movements to gradually slow down!

If we continue fighting like this, I'm afraid the people in Aicao Town will find out our weakness!

Now that this exhibition match has come to an end, of course we should take this opportunity to promote each other's business!

Lu Heng, the Baron of the Mountains, responded decisively:

"You are also the most powerful and toughest Tauren warrior I have ever seen!"

"With your ability to teleport everywhere, you really are in a position where you can't lose from the beginning!"

It is said that mutual flattery in business is the most deadly, let alone me flattering myself?

But Lu Heng did not intend to stop at just bragging, he also wanted the Tauren Lord to make a promise:

"I don't feel like I won, because you can still launch a sneak attack at any time and do whatever you want in a dishonorable way!"

"If you really respect this duel, you should agree to one of my requests!"

"As long as I protect this town, you can't attack here again! Including anyone living in this town!"

After hearing Lu Heng's request, people in the entire town were stunned!

According to the original rhythm, ordinary townspeople found that the lord and the acting lord were unable to protect them and were ready to run away.

Even if I were to be a serf in other territories, this kind of environment where I could be caught by the lord and thrown in jail at any time was too horrible!

In fact, it was not just the ordinary townspeople who wanted to run away. Even the lord's wife, Margaret, had the idea of ​​running away with her children.

It was only because his daughter insisted on governing the town that she did not run away.

Now everyone saw a hope that they didn't have to run. How great would it be if the young Baron of the Mountains could save the town?

Especially for Cecilia, who originally wanted to sacrifice herself for the town, the ending of living with her cousin is much better than dying alone...

But now there is still a problem that cannot be avoided!

The Minotaur Overlord has to nod his head. Can this newcomer from the Breos family really convince the Minotaur?

However, just as everyone was puzzled, Lu Heng, the great lord of the Minotaur, nodded slightly and said:

"You are a true warrior. I respect your request. See you next time!"

After saying that, the Tauren Overlord retreated into the portal again and disappeared in the afterglow of the setting sun.

After this battle, Baltai, the "Rye Mage" who returned to Aicao Town with Lu Heng, was also shocked!

At the beginning, he only regarded joining the Baron of the Mountains as a helpless choice.

But as someone who had also fought against the Minotaur Overlord, he knew very well that he was no match for that Minotaur!

But now! His lord could actually fight that terrifying minotaur back and forth, with no clear winner!

Then how powerful is this new lord that he is loyal to?

As the battle ended, the other townspeople who were watching were also deeply shocked.

They originally thought that there was no one left in the Burios family.

That Cecilia might be kind and beautiful, but when it comes to governing a small town, she might not be as good as her cruel father.

Who would have known that the younger generation of the Burios family would have such a rising star!

If he were here, he would definitely be able to protect the people here better than Pierre.

I just wonder if this young lord’s governance is brutal?

In the eyes of the people, if a lord is both strong and good, that is certainly a good thing.

It would be bad if a lord was good but weak, or bad but weak - but these two are not the worst combination.

The worst combination is actually that a lord is both strong and evil. Then, as a subject, you will never have hope.

However, not all townspeople participated in the viewing.

Rather, it could be said that all the onlookers in the town still had some expectations for the rule of the Burios family.

While most people's attention was focused on the confrontation between the Baron of the Mountain Territory and the Tauren Lord, another showdown was taking place in Wormwood Town.

When the minotaurs attacked, some townspeople believed that Wormwood Town was doomed.

They wanted to run away directly, but were intercepted by the garrison troops of Ai Cao Town;

Other townspeople were clearly more martial.

Their relatives were still being held in jail by Pierre's family, so they planned to capture the prison directly!

Lu Heng, who had just finished a great battle, gave Cecilia his advice:

"For those who want to run away, as long as the news that I fought a draw with the minotaur is spread, most of them will not run away."

"If they really want to run, it's useless for us to stop them. Even if we drag them back, they will just be imprisoned at home."

"And if those people just run away on their own, they won't pose the biggest threat to us, so we can just let them go for now."

"The ones who actually took up arms against us were the ones who stormed the prison. We should prioritize solving the problems there."

"But even for them, there is no need for us to abuse the punishment. If their actual demands are not addressed, they will still stand up."

Under normal circumstances, even Cecilia, who always admired her brother, would find it difficult to obey the words of Lu Heng, an outsider.

But things are different now. Lu Heng, who just fought a draw with the Minotaur Overlord, has accumulated great prestige.

As the beauty who was saved by the hero, Cecilia did not think that now was the time to compete with Lu Heng for power.

It would be fine even if this cousin, who also belongs to the Burios family, was allowed to be the de facto lord of Artemisia Town for a while.

It's better than being the daughter of the dead town of Aicao Town.

So she completely carried out Lu Heng's lenient treatment of the fugitives and accompanied Lu Heng to the prison that was under siege...

90. The Suffering Sister Enjoys It

At this moment, the townspeople of Artemisia Town were wielding various "weapons", mainly Taimenia's war clubs, and confronting the garrison troops.

However, while the garrison could not resist the Tauren Overlord, they were well equipped to handle the common townsfolk.

They formed a dense gun array, making it difficult for the townspeople who tried to capture the prison to get close.

The garrison held out like this until Lu Heng, Baltai, Cecilia and others arrived, and their morale was finally boosted.

In contrast, the morale of the townspeople who besieged the prison plummeted.

Even if they didn't know how powerful Lu Heng was, they had at least seen how powerful the "Rye Wizard" was.

As Pierre's ace suppressor, Balte just waved his hand and knocked away all the crude Taimenia war sticks in the hands of the townspeople.

This officer might have been in a very bad situation when facing the Tauren Overlord, but when it came to dealing with these townspeople, he easily crushed them!

The townspeople who lost their weapons completely lost their morale. They fell to their knees and begged for leniency.

If Cecilia was kind enough, they might be able to reunite with their loved ones - meaning they could go to jail and eat with their families.

But they actually knew that this was mostly a fantasy, because besieging a prison was different from running away, it was pure rebellion.

According to Pierre's usual practice, those who run away can still play the "Couple Racing Competition" and survive.

Rebellion is different. The men will be chopped off and the women will be put into the Adventurer's Inn as maids.

However, Lu Heng did not intend to punish these old farmers. On the contrary, he said to the disarmed townspeople:

"Stand up, no need to kneel!"

Although it was Pierre who gave the order to lock up their family members, it was not Lu Heng's fault.

But Lu Heng still believed that the reason they were victimized was not completely unrelated to him.

So when it is time to help them, we still have to give them a helping hand!

Besides, Lu Heng couldn't put all his hopes on Cecilia.

What if one day this young lady rebels against him?

This is the situation: Lu Heng intends to make Cecilia's Aicao Town his own territory in front of her.

So he had to find another force to support him besides Cecilia's.

The easiest way to get support is to return the life that is about to be lost to others.

Obviously, since these townspeople were willing to rebel against Cecilia, they had already demonstrated their potential.

As long as they are rescued, they will naturally be more grateful to Lu Heng than Cecilia.

How could Lu Heng ignore this free benefit?

He turned sideways to Cecilia and asked knowingly:

"Why are they making trouble?"

After listening to Cecilia's account of the cause and effect, Lu Heng shook his head slightly and said:

"I suggest you release them all."

"I have fought against that Tauren Overlord. He can just go through the portal. Why would he need the help of a traitor?"

"Since they are not traitors, then their relatives being imprisoned here is an injustice."

"It is hard to say that these people's desire to bring their innocent relatives back is a sinful act."

Lu Heng's words stunned everyone, including Cecilia.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Cecilia initially thought that Brother William had suddenly become kind, but she did not expect him to be so kind.

She also didn't want to be seen as a tyrant by the townspeople, but she didn't dare appear weak, so she was in a dilemma.

On the contrary, Lu Heng's suggestion gave her a reason to take advantage of the situation and implement benevolent policies, so she gladly accepted it.

Baltai didn't understand why Lu Heng did this.

They have rebelled, and if you don't punish them severely, how can you suppress your subjects?

But when he thought about it again, he felt that Lu Heng must have thought of such a simple thing a long time ago.

That extremely powerful lord must have had far-reaching plans, which is why he made a decision that is difficult for ordinary people to understand!

For a moment, Baltai felt that Lu Heng was unfathomable not only in strength, but also in wisdom and spirit!

Naturally, others, including Margaret, had no way to oppose Lu Heng's suggestion.

They neither think they know more than Lu Heng nor think they can beat Lu Heng, so why are they still blocking him? Are they tired of living?

So neither the townspeople who besieged the prison nor Cecilia's victorious side continued to be hostile.

Instead, in a reconciliation where there is no reconciliation and no way out, everyone goes back to their own homes and looks for their own mothers.

By the evening, the follow-up troops from Qunshanling finally arrived at Aicao Town.

Lu Heng led his warhorse into the stable and stayed on his sister's territory tonight.

However, while leading the horse, he discovered that the young man who was leading the horse for him was a wounded man.

I heard from the young man that when the minotaurs came yesterday, he was not beaten by the minotaurs, but was injured by the adventurers instead.

Fortunately, Cecilia felt sorry for him and asked the doctor to bandage the wound on his chest, which saved his life.

However, his deep wound still left a dark mark even after being bandaged.

Lu Heng also felt sorry for him, so he continued to cultivate his subjects who had a good impression of him in front of Cecilia.

"cure!"

Under Lu Heng's healing light, the young man in the stable's wounds finally healed completely.

Even when Cecilia and Lu Heng returned to the lord's mansion together, she was still impressed by Lu Heng's kindness.

She thought she was quite kind within the family, but in front of her truly kind brother, she began to feel that her virtues were not enough.

As for his abilities... She once heard rumors that her brother had not awakened any unique skills and was a useless person with a noble status.

After not seeing him for a few years, I realized that my brother has grown so much. Even his exclusive artistic skills are so practical.

She couldn't help but motivate herself: Cecilia! You really have to work hard, or you will be left far behind by your brother!

However, not everyone was inspired by the night.
