"Raymond, those women and children were not killed by this Lord Storm Territory. I have already investigated clearly!" Catherine immediately explained, "It was Baron Quinte next door who deliberately attacked the tribe in order to frame Storm Territory, and then kidnapped three tribesmen and came to Storm Territory."
"Raymond, you can think about it, otherwise, how could they spend all their efforts to kidnap the tribesmen to Storm Territory, and then kill the tribesmen!"
Raymond was stunned when he heard this. He had vaguely noticed something was wrong at first, but he was so angry that he couldn't think so much.
Now that Kaiser said it, the unreasonable situation appeared in her mind again. After a moment, Raymond spoke, "Miss Catherine, are you sure!"
"Raymond, it's confirmed! I have verified this answer myself, and there are several guards who attacked the tribe in the cell next to it. When the women and children from the tribe come over after a while, you can ask them to identify it!"
Regarding the guards who attacked the tribe, this is what Sherry told her two days ago.
Sherry even told Catherine the whole story of the barbarian incident. Of course, Sherry's main purpose of doing this was to highlight the magic of the lord, so that Catherine would admire him as much as he did.
As Catherine spoke affirmative words, Raymond finally wavered.
After spending several years with Catherine, the barbarians' trust in Catherine is actually no different from that of their own tribe.
"Raymond, to survive on Blazing Grassland, a small tribe like yours not only has to face various harsh environments, but also the threats of various monsters. If you can join Storm Territory, you may be able to live a better life. At least the children in your tribe will no longer die so easily."
"And the elders in your tribe don't have to worry about being a drag on the tribe if they can't hunt!"
Although he has only been to Storm Territory for a few days, Catherine also knows a little about the living conditions of the residents and the reputation of Nalant.
Wheat Leaf Village Every household in the villagers has meat to eat, and as long as they are willing to work for the lord, they can receive rewards.
Therefore, she felt that if barbarians could join Storm Territory, it would be of great benefit to the small tribe Raymond.
"I heard that nobles are also very cruel to their people. They often kill them whenever they want. What's more, we are still barbarians..." Raymond was indeed moved, but there was still the last trace of hesitation.
"Big guy, you don't have to worry about this. As long as you join Storm Territory, I will treat you like other ordinary civilians."
"Moreover, many of you have gone out to work these days. You should have some idea of how the serfs in my territory live!"
The words that Catherine used to persuade Raymond were in the imperial language, so Nalant could understand it.
At this time, he walked in directly and spoke to Raymond.
"I... can..." Under the gaze of Nalant, thinking of the current situation of himself and others, Raymond finally let go.
In fact, in addition to facing the harsh environment on the grassland, you also have to be careful against attacks from other large tribes.
Barbarian tribes like Raymond are the lowest level of existence.
In the years when food was plentiful, they could still survive, but if there was a shortage of food, they would be the targets of plunder by the big tribes.
Now they are captured again. If they are kept here forever, I believe that within a month, the women and children left on the grassland will either starve to death or be robbed by other tribes.
"Very good!" Seeing Raymond finally relent, Nalant couldn't help but smile.
In addition to not using their brains, these big guys are also very straightforward in character. They basically never go back on their promises, so Raymond was just like a mother-in-law.
As long as he lets go, it means that Nalant has an 80% chance of conquering this group of barbarians.
The remaining 20% can be made up when all the women and children from their tribe are taken over.
Raymond saw Nalant nodding and said a few words in barbarian language to the clan members behind him.
The barbarians looked shocked at first and started to retort. However, as Raymond continued to speak a few words, the barbarians all acted like defeated roosters and lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"Lord, Raymond is persuading his tribesmen. Some tribesmen say they are unwilling to join Storm Territory, but Raymond wants them to think about their wives and children. If they continue to be imprisoned here, their wives and children will starve to death before long!"
Raymond saw that the clan members no longer objected, and then turned around and looked at Nalant with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Raymond... see... see the lord..." Finally, Raymond knelt down towards Nalant.
"I've seen the lord!" The other barbarians looked at me and I looked at you, and they also knelt on the ground one after another.
"Well! Everyone, get up! From today on, you are the subjects of Storm Territory!" Nalant looked kind and took the initiative to help Raymond.
"Raymond, I know that most of you who choose to surrender are helpless, but I believe that you will feel lucky for today in the future!"
"In addition, as your lord, I have decided to show my sincerity to you. Within a week, I will make Quinte pay the price for attacking your tribe!"
"This..." Raymond was a little stunned.
Is it that fast?
Just a moment after he and others joined Storm Territory, the lord was ready to avenge himself and others.
Baron Quinte and the others have also heard of it. After all, Quinte Territory is directly bordered by Blazing Grassland.
Could it be that this lord wants to launch a war against other nobles for himself and others?
Nalant didn't care what Raymond was thinking. After making the promise, he continued to Raymond, "Raymond, first of all, I have to forgive you for staying here for a while. Later I will go out and arrange for the guards to post announcements at Wheat Leaf Village, and then I will place you in Wheat Leaf Village! This way there will be no confusion!"
"As for your wives and children, I will also speed up preparations and find a way to take them over!"
"Thank you, Lord!" Raymond didn't know what to say at this time. However, the second time he called out Lord, he became much more fluent.
Next, Nalant brought Sherry and Catherine back to the vestibule.
After sending someone to call Mario, and asking Mario to clean out some thatched huts, Nalant also ordered the kitchen to prepare food for the barbarians!
"Catherine, although Raymond and others have expressed their surrender, they are used to the grassland life after all, and there are ordinary villagers in the territory, so I hope you can help me restrain them during this time! Is that okay?"
"I am happy to serve you, my lord!"
Catherine also heard the promise made by Nalant just now.
As a lord, since Nalant has said the words to avenge the barbarians, I believe he will never break his promise.
Therefore, Catherine's sense of Nalant has become better at this time. In addition to being kind and generous, this lord is also extremely kind to his subjects.
Catherine is very happy that Raymond and others can find such a lord, so she is ready to do her best to arrange things for Nalant.
"Perhaps, it would be good to really live here. After all, there may never be such a kind nobleman in the principality again!" Catherine thought to himself.
Thanks to "Muzi Li Yu" for the reward!!!
