The square is adjacent to the castle, which was designed when it was first built many years ago.

Adjacent to it is a high platform of the castle. Standing here and looking down, you can feel superior, while keeping a distance from these dirty people.

Richard looked at the person in front of him and was immediately filled with emotion. No wonder I always saw those nobles in my previous life who liked to call people dirty pigs. It was so damn appropriate! As soon as his figure appeared on the high platform, the dark crowd below began to get restless.

“”The Lord has appeared! The Lord has appeared!”

Everyone was very excited.

If Richard had appeared in the early morning, everyone would definitely not have this reaction. Most likely, they would just be indifferent and confused.

But at this time, Richard had already become the person everyone was looking forward to, even if his appearance did not bring blessings.

After everyone quieted down, the clerk immediately shouted:

“Shut up! Hurry up and salute our Lord!”

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on. Fearing that Richard would be dissatisfied, they rushed to bow under the lead of the recorder.

“Meet the Lord!”

“”Greetings, Lord!”

After the uneven shouts, the crowd gradually calmed down.

Richard took two steps forward, and his knightly aura instantly spread out.

In an instant, the originally quiet scene was shocked by Richard’s momentum, and they didn’t even dare to breathe.

Richard looked down at the crowd with cold eyes, paced on the high platform, and his voice shook out:

“This is Long Eagle Territory. I am the Viscount of Long Eagle Territory, the owner of this land, Richard!

You are a bunch of trash, scum, and dirty pigs! You live in my territory, the land under your feet is mine! The air you breathe is mine!

The trees in the mountains, the rivers, everything, are all mine!

Now look down at this land, which is filled with your feces, smell the air here, which is filled with your stench, and look at the mountains and rivers, which are tainted by your garbage!

You used all of this without my permission, stealing my wealth!

Not only stole it, but also wasted it! You deserve to die!”

As Richard spoke, everyone’s faces were filled with panic, and their eyes were filled with fear.

They knew that everything Richard said was true.

According to the law, Richard was the master here. If he wanted, even if he drove everyone out of the Long Eagle Territory and only he lived here, no one could complain.

Even the king had nothing to say.

Because this was the power of the lord.

But if they were killed, who would produce, who would serve the adults?

They didn’t understand. Did they really have to kill them?

“Please, Lord, have mercy! Lord, please have mercy!”

Everyone knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground, not caring at all about the feces on their faces.

Richard seemed not to have seen all this and continued to speak at his own pace:

“And I give you the punishment……”

Everyone held their breath

“That means each person pays a fine of one gold coin!”

This is the privilege of the nobles in the Middle Ages. They can exercise all power in their own territory, and no one can interfere.

This includes the power of life and death, the establishment of an army, the establishment of tax policies, and the production of various industries.

It is equivalent to a local lord, and he is the sky here!

As the saying goes, in troubled times, there will be severe punishments, and it will definitely not work if these people are not punished to death.

When they heard his words, everyone was stunned.

One gold coin per person, one gold coin is not a small amount for any of them.

The daily wage of a knight’s squire is 30 copper coins, which is only nine silver coins a month. To earn 1 gold coin, even for a knight’s squire, it will take nearly a year.

This is still a knight’s squire, and the people of the Long Eagle Territory are even more impossible. To be able to earn so much.

Even those who are thrifty and manage their households may not have a gold coin in savings, let alone these lazy and dirty pigs, most of whom have no savings.

Some people even have no food to eat, steal, and live a wandering life.

Richard’s request is simply to ask for their lives.

For a moment, everyone wailed and begged for mercy, hoping that Richard would give them a way out.

Even the clerks and tax officials standing near Richard had cold hands and feet.

They originally thought that Richard just wanted to dig deep to search, but they didn’t expect that the new viscount would directly drain the pond to catch all the fish!

They felt that the sky was dark and the future was hopeless. This territory was really going to be ruined.

“If the lord doesn’t give us a way to live, what’s the point of us begging!”

Someone shouted and stood up.

A few people in the crowd also stood up.

Richard just smiled coldly, and the knight attendant beside him instantly drew out his sword.

Seeing the shining sword, the group of people immediately wilted.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Richard’s eyes. He originally hoped that they would have some blood and give him a little surprise, but he didn’t expect that this group of people would be so cowardly.

They stood up, but they didn’t expect that only two guards drew their swords, and they scared the one or two hundred people back.

Richard knew that these people would never be able to do what he asked, but he said so, of course, he had his own plan.

He wanted to see where these people’s bottom line was.

“You guys! You really disappoint me!”

Richard curled his lips and shook his head with a gloomy face:

“My sword hasn’t seen blood for a long time. Where’s the person who just stood up? Why don’t you come out and give it a try? Maybe, if you can really kill me, the next lord may treat you well?

After all, if you kill me, he will have the opportunity to inherit this place, and you have helped him.”

As Richard’s voice fell, everyone looked at each other.

They couldn’t imagine how someone would persuade them to kill themselves.

But the more Richard said so, the more confused they were.

Not to mention that they were already scared, even if they really had some courage left, they would be worried and afraid to take action after hearing Richard’s words.

Everyone was silent, like a group of docile lambs, quietly prostrating in front of Richard, hoping to get Richard’s forgiveness.

Richard waited quietly, his eyes patrolling back and forth among them, but he never found anyone who dared to look up.

The scene fell into a strange silence for a while.
