Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

The undead attack made it impossible for Viscount Carentan to leave the territory, so it was his second son who attended the meeting. Field nobles will station personnel in cities in their counties, and the work they do is similar to that of a company's office in a certain place.

It would be much easier for the Count of Caen to mislead an inexperienced young man with words. Therefore, the news about the agreement between the king and the Duke of Stuart changed after it reached the Viscounty of Carentan. Therefore, Viscount Carentan thought that reinforcements would come, and chose to hold on instead of abandoning the territory and retreating.

The eldest son of Viscount Carentan could not know the whole story. He did not have time and could not find out why the news he heard was different from the agreement. The most urgent thing at the moment is to tell my father about this quickly, so I wrote this letter.

After reading the letter and learning that there was no possibility of reinforcements, Viscount Carentan slumped in his chair and remained motionless for a long time like a deflated ball. This blow was really too big for him, and all hopes were shattered in an instant.

The butler and the knight's attendant who delivered the message did not dare to speak and could only stand quietly. It took a long time before Carentan himself said feebly: "Organize the evacuation of personnel."

"Yes!" The butler bowed and accepted the order.

Even though he was deceived into believing that reinforcements would be coming, after the scouts detected the incoming army of undead creatures, Viscount Carentan still sent his family and belongings to the port town. As a coastal aristocrat, he must have his own merchant ship, and it would not be a problem to evacuate the family members, including important subordinates and their families.

Soon the steward reported that the carriage was ready. With the help of his attendants, Viscount Carentan boarded the carriage, and the convoy carrying important people was escorted by knights to the port town. The soldiers who stayed behind also withdrew under the leadership of the knights two hours after their lord left, leaving the empty castle behind.

Due to the drag of skeletons and zombies, the undead army does not march very fast, which is only equivalent to the walking speed of ordinary humans, but they do not need to rest.

There were already attendants rushing to the port town first, quietly notifying the sailors to prepare to set sail, and notifying the viscount's family members to board the ship. Because it was nighttime, no one else was alerted at first, and by the time someone discovered it, the ship had already set sail.

Viscount Carentan ran away, which showed that the undead army could not resist at all, and everyone in the town panicked. Some people were hiding at home with the doors and windows closed, some were packing up their things to escape to the wild, some were shouting to fight with the undead, and some were crying and howling at a loss.

On the night of the third day, the undead army easily broke through the port town, slaughtered all the people inside, and then turned towards the city of Caen.

Christine sent a dozen knights, 750 cavalry, and 5,000 infantrymen. Although all the fifth-level wizards and above were taken away by Olivia to support the city of Caen, the one in charge of the army was the master-level wizard Mo Nika.

This army was devastated along the way and soon regained the Barony of Messe. If not for the sake of safety, all the scattered undead creatures along the way were not eliminated, the army could be faster.

After establishing fortifications near the mine where the underground passage was discovered, and leaving a thousand soldiers to defend it, the army moved westward into the Viscounty of Carentan. Therefore, if Viscount Carentan can persist for a few more days, reinforcements will definitely arrive, because the army led by Stuart will not rescue the city of Caen when there are enemies in the rear.

There is nothing to say about the ensuing battle. This undead creature is considered a large army for the Viscounty of Carentan, but for the soldiers of the Stuart Territory, it is only slightly larger in number, but it can be destroyed with just one hand.

.

Le Havre Port, the manor where the Viscount Carentan temporarily resides.

A group of cavalry came to the door of the manor, and the leading knight shouted: "By order of His Majesty the King, I want to see Viscount Carentan and open the door!"

The guard saw that the other party was indeed carrying the flag of the kingdom, and there was a priest of the great God of Order in the team. He dared to ask more questions, so he hurriedly opened the door and sent someone to report the message to the viscount.

However, as soon as the door was half opened, the cavalry rushed in on horseback. How could the messenger's legs be comparable. Arriving in front of the main building, the cavalryman dismounted and walked directly inside. The attendant did not dare to stop him and ran to inform the butler.

Hearing that someone had broken in, the knights led by Carentan hurried downstairs to check. After seeing the knights and priests of the God of Order wearing smocks with the royal emblem, they could only stand aside and dare not step forward. Fortunately, the royal knight just asked his men to stop in the drawing room and did not go any further.

After a while, Viscount Carentan came to the living room accompanied by the butler and others.

"Greetings to you, Viscount Carentan, I am the royal knight Polaka."

Due etiquette was still required. The royal knights saluted and introduced their entourage.

Viscount Carentan asked displeasedly: "Knight Polaka, why are you here?"

Knight Polaka stood up straight, took out a document, unfolded it and said: "According to the order of His Majesty the King, and after deliberation by the Parliament of Nobles, Viscount Carentan failed to fulfill his responsibility to protect the people of the territory, so I ask you to go to France to assist. investigation."

The document has the signature and seal of the king, the signature and seal of the Council of Nobles, and the priest of the God of Order beside it. There is no way this matter is false.

Although Viscount Carentan was wondering why the king would issue such an order even though he had clearly sent his eldest son to the capital city of France. But at this point, he had no choice but to comply. After following him to the capital, he still had room for maneuver, but if he refused to comply, he might be killed on the spot.

In this world with the true God, believers are the most important to God and the church. The war between the country and the nobles has nothing to do with ordinary people. There will be no cases of giving civilians a weapon to fight. No matter which side occupies the other side's villages and towns, it will treat the civilians well. Therefore, if you lose your territory, you will only change from a real noble to a hereditary honorary noble. Even if you are captured, you can still be a noble as long as you can pay the ransom.

But once the nobles' mistakes lead to large-scale deaths of civilians in the territory and God loses a large number of believers, the church will have to take care of it. What I’m talking about here is mistakes. If you do something but don’t do it because of lack of ability, the results are different. During the demonic disaster, many nobles not only organized the retreat of their subjects but also fought desperately to resist the demons. Although a large number of civilians were lost in the end, this was a matter of ability, and this nobleman would be fine.

Viscount Carentan did not organize the civilians of the port town to retreat in the early stage, nor did he insist on resisting in the later stage and ran away. If he persisted for a few more days, the reinforcements led by Stuart would arrive, and the death of a large number of believers would have to be blamed on him. .
