Chapter 185 Suppression and temptation

In Songlin Town, the rebellion has not yet completely subsided.

But under the suppression of the Lomba family army, the rebels' arrogance has been completely suppressed. According to this trend, it is estimated that the rebellion will be completely quelled.

Some rebel civilians also saw that the situation was not good. Seeing that they could not defeat the Lomba family's army, they rushed towards the city gate, preparing to flee from Songlin Town with the property and food they had snatched from the night.

Seeing this, the Lomba family army did not stop it. They are now short of troops and their primary task is to stabilize the situation in the town, which is difficult for those fleeing rebels to take care of, and these people can reduce their pressure after they escape.

But just as the rebels successfully opened the gate of Zhendong and were about to rush out, they suddenly heard a low trumpet sound coming from a distance.

Then the sound of horse hooves rolling like thunder trembled the land of Songlin Town, and the black cavalry army instantly filled the wilderness outside the town.

Those rebels had never seen such a mighty cavalry charge. They were so scared that they rolled back to the town. It seemed that compared with those ferocious cavalry, the army of the Lomba family was completely a group of harmless little sheep.

"The Black Cavalry is ordered by Viscount Angret to help fight the rebellion!"

The Knights Logue who rushed outside Songlin Town roared, regardless of whether the Lomba family was willing to accept their assistance, and directly led the black cavalry troops and rushed into the town like sharp arrows.

The subsequent situation is naturally evident.

The rebels, which could not even resist the army of the Lomba family, had no choice but to kneel down and surrender when facing the even more terrifying Black Cavalry.

But the arrival of the Black Cavalry made the Lomba family worried.

They didn't believe that the Black Cavalry would come so kindly to help them quell the rebellion.

Moreover, the arrival of the Black Cavalry is a coincidence.

Just like Baron Lomba was assassinated in Ice Rock City, it was full of various coincidences.

But once there are too many coincidences, it is difficult to believe that this is not a conspiracy planned by someone who is interested.

When Colin entered Songlin Town, the rebellion in the town had basically subsided.

The Lombard family members were nervously welcomed the powerful young viscount into their castle.

"Mr. Viscount, thank you for your helping hand this time. The Lombar family will always be grateful." White followed Collin carefully and thanked respectfully.

The black cavalry, like wolves and tigers, made him feel a strong threat, so even though he was full of doubts about this Viscount Angele, White did not dare to reveal it at all.

"Knight White, don't be so polite! I also have the responsibility to protect your father's death, so this time, it is my apology to the Lombard family."

Colin was kind-hearted, but after entering the castle hall, he took the initiative to sit in the main seat.

White twitched his lips, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

The butler of the Lomba family beside him carefully tentatively: "Sir Viscount, I wonder how many days are you going to stay in Songlin Town? We can arrange the reception for you."

"No need to arrange anything specifically." Colin smiled and waved his hand, "I'll leave today."

White's eyes lit up and suddenly felt that he might have misunderstood the Viscount Angrey.

But the next second, he immediately gave up the childish idea, because Colin continued:

"However, the Knights of Logue will stay, and the Black Cavalry will also leave a part of it to prevent another rebellion in Songlin Town."

"Master Viscount, we have appreciated your kindness, but it is the responsibility of the Lombar family to protect Songlin Town, and we have the ability to bear it alone, and you don't need it..."

"Knight White," Colin interrupted White's shirk, "You are not the Lord of Pinewood Town yet?"

"I...is not..."

Although White was the eldest son of Baron Lomba and the first heir to the baron, before he was granted the personal title of Duke St. Heard, strictly speaking, he was not considered the lord of Songlin Town.

Colin spread his hands and said, "So, your first priority now is to go to Winter City to receive the title of the Duke of the North, instead of talking to me here that he has the ability to protect Songlin Town.

I am not questioning your ability, but my qualifications!”

White opened his mouth and was about to defend himself, but Colin didn't give him this opportunity at all, and said in an aggressive tone again:

"And, Knight White, if I hadn't led my army to help the Lomba family quell the rebellion this time, it's not certain whether you could defend Songlin Town!

According to the lord's law, if Songlin Town is lost, what qualifications do you have to inherit your father's title?"

Now White could no longer help but defended loudly: "Master Viscount! You cannot question the ability of the Lomba family like this! Even without the help of the Black Cavalry, we can still defend Songlin Town! As for whether I am qualified to inherit the baron, it will be decided by the Duke of the North!"

Colin waved his hand with a smile, signaling White not to be excited, and said frankly: "That's why I said that your first priority now is to go to Winter City to pay homage to the Duke. Don't worry, I have no intention of competing with the Lomba family for the ownership of Songlin Town."

"Since you have no intention of occupying Songlin Town, please take your army away."

"Knight White, you are so scrupulous. The reason why I left the army was that I really wanted to help you defend Songlin Town. Don't rush to refuse! Do you don't need family army escorts when you go to Winter City? You know, the northern border is not peaceful now.

If you take away the family army, aren’t you worried about the resurgence of the rebellion in Songlin Town?”

White was speechless, as if he felt something was right about Colin.

Seeing this, the old housekeeper of the Lombar family quickly stood up and said, "My Viscount, thank you for your kindness. But our Lombar family doesn't want to owe too much favors, so it's better for us to sign an agreement to determine the conditions and rewards for your assistance in protecting Songlin Town."

White then reacted and nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Lord Viscount, let's sign an agreement."

Colin laughed in his heart and saw through the Lomba family's plans at first glance.

They wanted to put all the conditions for the garrison to assist in defense on paper, so that Colin could not blatantly plan for Songlin Town.

However, what the Lombar family didn't know was that Colin had no intention of occupying the town.

"Yes. However, as a reward for sending troops to quell the turmoil and assisting in maintaining stability, I need ten years of logging rights in Beilin District, Songlin Town."

"Ten years?" White screamed in surprise and shook his head repeatedly, "It's too long, Lord Viscount, I will give you three years of logging rights at most!"

The Zhenbeilin District of Songlin Town can be said to be the money cow of the Lomba family. The red pine trees produced there can not only be used as excellent construction wood, but also produce a kind of pine resin and an extremely expensive medicinal material.

"Knight White, before you accept the Duke's canonization and become the lord of Songlin Town, you are not qualified to bargain with me. In Songlin Town, the Angles family will temporarily protect you."

White endured the humiliation and anger in his heart, and had to bow his head and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Lord Viscount. I'll set off for Winter City and pay homage to the Duke!"

Colin then smiled satisfied.

His eyes passed through the Lomba family, looked towards the direction of Winter City, and thought to himself-

Duke of St. Heard, it's time for you to come out to meet guests this time.
