The witch thought I am a Demon God

The chaotic scene gradually began to return to order.

The original servants in the castle had all fled, but now they were called back to the castle one by one to do work, clean the corpses, repair the walls, etc.

The panicked residents kept their doors tightly closed all night, ignoring the sounds of fighting outside the door all night long, and buried their heads in the ground like ostriches.

But in fact, if the children of the forest really wanted to massacre them, their houses that were basically made of wood couldn't stop them.

By the time it was all morning, things started to fall into place.

Ivita and the others are the biggest contributors to exposing the Children of the Forest's conspiracy this time, and he also has the authorization of Branton, the only living heir of the Moro family.

So, Ivita took control of the situation.

By virtue of his merits and Branton, he could command the servants, stewards, serfs in the castle, and the guards of Baron Morlot's castle.

He asked the black wolf to go to the edge of the territory and call back Rayleigh and Alicia who were waiting on the carriage. Rayleigh, who was originally so worried, couldn't believe his ears.

The Black Wolf told him that the Children of the Forest had been driven out of the castle and that Ivita had taken control of it.

Reilly repeatedly asked about the process before finally being able to believe the current situation.

However, he also lamented the danger of the situation at that time.

If something went wrong at that time, there would be a terrible situation where all humans and the children of the forest would besiege Ivita and her party.

When Rayleigh saw Ivita on the castle, Rayleigh excitedly held Ivita's hand and said, "Master, please don't take such risks anymore. It's the behavior of a gambler. No one can Make sure you win the bet."

"If a person continues to gamble, sooner or later he will accidentally lose everything he has."

"I know." Ivita sighed and said happily: "But when a person has nothing, he doesn't have much choice except to fight for it."

"But what you said is not wrong."

"If I can fully control this barony, I will have my first territory. Being a lord is different from being an explorer."

"The lord cannot take such risks."

In fact, Ivita has not yet completely controlled this territory. He now has no legitimate name and no identity.

In addition, many knights in this territory have never paid allegiance to him.

Since you have not performed this etiquette, you are not considered a lord or vassal.

They would never obey Ivita at all. Now it was just because of the sudden crisis that they only temporarily listened to Ivita's advice.

The current barony is actually about to fall apart with the death of the baron.

Riley suddenly mentioned another thing. "Master, when I was on the edge of Baron Moro's territory, I saw some weird people with bark-like skin fleeing outside the territory. But I also saw another army appearing in the forest."

"Those members of the army are not human beings."

"All in Ambrose, creatures that only appear in fairy tale books."

"Tauren, centaurs, deer men, even ogres. I even saw a two-headed ogre."

"I also saw a person with a sheep's head on the upper body and a human-like lower body with sheep's hooves. It was sitting on a bamboo chariot and sleeping with its eyes closed. Seeing it, I don't know why, I felt my heart beating so fast. Soon, it almost seemed like it was going to explode.”

Iveta's heart sank after hearing this.

Oh no.

Sure enough, his guess was correct. For some reason, the children of the forest seemed to have a special need to capture this territory.

As expected, they were prepared to use the army to seize it by force.

The old witch's expression suddenly changed, and she looked Lei Li up and down. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are indeed the useless warrior who follows you."

"You have seen the ancient soul, and you are still alive."

"It is recorded in the forbidden book that among the ancient souls who rule the children of the forest, there is one with a sheep's head and sheep's hooves."

"You are so lucky. If it had opened its eyes when you saw it, your soul would have been sucked in long ago and become a puppet manipulated by it."

Ivita frowned. "Old witch, who is that guy?"

"Your Majesty, it is not worthy to be compared with you. It was once called the god of agriculture and animal husbandry by the children of the forest, and later it was called the ancient spirit of agriculture and animal husbandry by the children of the forest." The old witch lowered her head and said, "Show me again. Now comes the art of seizing territory. You have clearly discovered that Baron Morrow is not a human being, yet you remained calm and allowed the situation to develop beyond control."

"Then you can legitimately seize this human territory."

"You are worthy of being the devil among the devils!"

Ivita: "..."

"As soon as you entered the territory, you knew that Baron Moro was not a human being? Why didn't you tell him before?"

The old witch said: "If you don't tell me, how dare I say it? But if it weren't for this forbidden book, I wouldn't know it was a tree spirit."

Only then did Ivita realize that she had known that the baron was not a human being the first moment she entered the baron's territory, but she could not judge the identity of the baron at that time.

Yes.

From the old witch's perspective, how could she, as a demon, not know that the Baron was not a human being.

However, in her opinion, by not saying anything, she really looked like a conspirator intent on seizing territory.

But now, the old witch believed that she had achieved complete victory.

"..." Ivita.

Ivita no longer cared about this matter. He walked over and asked the housekeeper of the Moro family [Akaranda].

Blanton has already told Ivita the details of this guy. He is a serf in this manor.

Because his parents were different from others, they would always save some money on food to save for the expenses of making Akalanda literate and learn arithmetic.

Therefore, Akalanda was one of the few educated serfs.

This gives him an advantage.

After the first three foreign small noble manor housekeepers in Baron Moro resigned due to public outrage, the then real Baron Moro hired Akalanda, the son of a serf, in order to calm the public's anger.

Moreover, Akalanda was given the status of a free citizen.

Blanton told Ivita that the Viscount Ambrose had already had two relatively large-scale serf rebellions.

The existing serfdom system in the manor system is the result of two serf rebellions and the reform of the law.

The serfdom system in Viscount Ambrose is less oppressive than the serfdom system in any other country in the world.

There are two reasons for this result.

First, the old witch said that the ancient civilization, which was earlier than the mysterious civilization supported by the Druids, had its center of rule for a period of time in the independent country of Viscount Ambrose.

Even if that ancient civilization collapsed due to unknown reasons, the city system, the tradition of free people, the tradition of consuls, and the tribunes of the ancient civilization still remain here.

Second, Ambrose's urban class became more and more powerful, causing the originally harsh serfdom system to almost collapse.

There are more and more escaped slaves.

In the end, Ambrose's lords could only improve the treatment of the serfs again and again.

Iveta asked Akalanda: "How many troops are there in the castle now?"

Akalanda glanced at Blanton, and when she saw Blanton's eyes looking at Ivita, full of admiration and dependence, she immediately understood that there was a new owner here.

He was a man who came from the serf class and did not have the useless persistence of the petty nobles. "Sir, there is a guard force of one hundred and twenty-one in the castle."

"Are they gone? Counting the feudal soldiers?" Ivita asked. He remembered that the Ambrose family summoned eleven knights.

Even though a few people died in the previous battle in the hall, there were still some knights left, and these knights came with their own infantry.

"And where are the knights-in-waiting in the castle?"

Akalanda looked ugly. "My lord, those knights didn't listen to your orders at all."

"They are now over there at the stables. Under the leadership of Knight Tavel, they are going to lead the army out of the city to pursue the defeated tree spirit troops and avenge Baron Moro."

Akalanda showed sadness as she thought of her former master.

Iveta's face changed drastically, "Idiot."

"You don't even understand why poor bandits should not chase after them, let alone there is an army led by an ancient soul outside."

Demon hunters Hei Lang and Lei Li thought about the words of Qiong Kou Mo Zhui, and they all felt that they seemed to make sense.

Ivita said: "Acaranda, take us to the stables!"

"Stop them quickly!"

Ivita said with a dark face: "With their current strength, they are not suitable to go out of the city to pursue the enemy."

"These scammers are actually worse than me, a novice."

Hei Lang said: "Your Highness, this is normal."

"Church knights like the Boar Knights are already considered elite."

Black Wolf said: "This era lacks tactics. Charlemagne's tactics are already tactics from hundreds of years ago."

"But even most knights in small places don't know how to do this kind of thing."

"When a war breaks out, they will just rush in head first without thinking, and either win or lose."

"This seems to be because with the collapse of ancient civilization, human civilization has experienced a serious civilization regression, and it has not yet recovered."

"Most of the cities in the past have been abandoned due to the inexplicable collapse of the ancient civilization. Today's cities are restored or rebuilt on the basis of the large cities that the ancient civilization once was."

The old witch also sighed. "I also heard from my teacher that there was once only one country in human civilization, just like there was only one true God in the world - the God of all things."

"That country is an ancient civilization."

"The ancient civilization was the only spokesperson of the God of All Creations on the earth. However, with the strange collapse of the ancient civilization, it has now become countless small countries, and each country has its own characteristics, cultural traditions and laws. Law. The once unified law has been broken and turned into broken laws of independent kingdoms, principalities, duchies, special small countries and republics."

Iveta could feel everyone's sadness after the huge thing collapsed.

But he had no time to sigh, he had to go to the stables and win back those stupid knights who thought they were brave.

They simply lost their minds.

The old witch paid attention to the corpses of the children of the forest on the ground, and she actually found [human pus] on these corpses.

The old witch squinted her eyes and looked at Ivita's back. "The demon's harming spell is not as simple and contagious as it seems on the surface..."

"No, I need to look into it. Something's not quite right."
