Lord of Scourge: Begin as a Demon Archduke

Bauhinia banner! !

Although it wasn't long before Lauren left, this place is an endless wasteland full of dangers, and the soldiers left behind are getting more and more anxious.

If it weren't for the fact that it is almost impossible to cross the dangerous wasteland back to Decker City based on personal ability alone, I am afraid that many people will defect.

Under the shouts of excitement from the soldiers on the city wall, the whole territory became lively.

The gate already covered with white mushrooms was pushed open, and several human soldiers looked at the long convoy almost with tears in their eyes.

"My lord, you are finally back."

Loren, who got out of the carriage, frowned at the wounded soldiers whose arms were wrapped in gauze.

After scanning around, he turned his gaze to the leading human warrior, who had an unhealed scar on his forehead that looked a bit hideous.

"Kur, how is the situation in the territory these days?"

Kur, the guard appointed by Lauren when he left, is the only silver-ranked human soldier in the territory.

Kur made a bitter face, "My lord, the day after you left, seven wounded soldiers and thirteen civilians died."

"Didn't I take away all the seriously injured soldiers?" Lauren frowned.

"They were hit by the blood polluters in the chaos, and they didn't realize it at the time. After you left, your injuries deteriorated rapidly."

Lauren was upset.

These damn blood polluters really linger.

Suppressing the ups and downs of emotions, said lightly.

"Let all the troops assemble in the square."

Without waiting for the other party's response, he led the convoy through the low city gate and stepped into this territory that belonged to him, leaving only Kur's annoyed figure behind.

Dilapidated and barren, this is Lauren's first impression of the territory.

The city wall is broken, and the territory is even more broken than the city wall.

Passing through the city gate did not immediately enter the residential area of ​​the territory, but came to the street after passing hundreds of meters of withered grass.

It says it's a street, but it looks more pitiful than a slum.

A road of mixed gravel and mud extends for 300 meters before exiting the territory.

There are low houses on both sides of the street. The newly built houses are all made of wood, while the houses made of gravel have a dilapidated atmosphere, which is the legacy of the previous lord.

This dilapidated street not only has low houses and footrests on the road, but also a disgusting rotten smell in the air.

Enduring his discomfort, he scanned the alleys on both sides of the street, frowning as he looked at the litter and excrement that could be seen everywhere.

The huge territory doesn't even have a toilet, and the living environment is probably not even comparable to the slums in Decker City.

Notified by the guards, all the residents in Gray Eagle's territory had gathered on both sides of the street at this time, looking at Lauren and the group of burly barbarian berserkers behind him in fear.

After seeing the kobolds, there was even more commotion, and they subconsciously backed away, their eyes filled with fear of alien races.

Wearing a black cloak, the kobold blood mage Sim, who looked very coquettish, was proud of himself in the fearful eyes of the crowd.

Raise your head arrogantly, these stupid humans, it is your luck to meet the great Chief Sim...

The barbarian chief Yas had a flat face, and he never bothered to pay attention to these harmless lives.

Barbarians only like to challenge the strong.

Most of the surrounding residents have earthy faces and dull eyes, and many of them are wounded like soldiers.

Or residents can't be used to describe these humans. They are all slaves bought by Lauren, and they are his private property.

Resident is a title that only free people can enjoy.

His face was bleak, his morale was low, and his hearts were broken.

A group of real remnants...

Lauren couldn't even feel the vitality in these people, just like a group of puppets.

After the Scarlet Day territory was breached last time, the impact was too great.

Looking at the slave residents who immediately bowed their heads when they saw him coming, not daring to look directly at him, they shook their heads.

This situation must be changed. Let alone the residents of the stagnant territory, even normal people will feel no hope when they come here.

How will the future territory develop?

In Lauren's silence, the caravan crossed the street.

Continue driving on the barren grassland for about a kilometer before arriving at the Santo Manor.

The last lord built two buildings in Gray Eagle's territory - the city wall and the city lord's manor.

As one of the only two buildings in the territory, although it is not as luxurious as those aristocratic manors in Decker City, it is still passable.

Outside the manor is a courtyard wall made of stones, which is two meters high.

There is a large garden at the front and back of the manor, in addition to warehouses, wells, stables, and even dug dungeons.

The main building in the middle is a three-story building made of huge stones. The first floor is the usual meeting hall, the second and third floors are the living room, and there are 12 rooms in total.

Although it is not large overall, it is enough to be called comfortable and even luxurious in the endless wasteland far away from Decker City.

Surrounded by barbarians and kobolds, the convoy slowly drove into the manor.

The manor's maid and the gray-haired housekeeper were already waiting here.

When Lauren got off the carriage, the white-haired butler immediately led a dozen maids to salute.

"Welcome home, Master Lauren."

After the butler spoke, the maids spoke.

"Welcome home, Master Lauren."

With this small gesture, the status among the servants is immediately clear.

Lauren nodded.

These well-behaved servants were specially purchased by the predecessor in Decker City, and they are not bad at serving people.

"Butler Bohr, there is no need to be polite."

The gray-haired old housekeeper Bohr straightened up and said respectfully.

"Master, I have asked someone to prepare hot water. You can wash up first, and dinner will be ready later..."

Lauren nodded in satisfaction. After driving for a few days, what he wanted most at this moment was to take a hot bath and sleep.

Immediately, as if thinking of something, he looked at Fianna behind him and smiled.

"I've come back. The territory is safe. With Yas, you don't need personal protection. Go take a hot bath first."

Fianna, who was indifferent, looked at Lauren's deep eyes and was startled.

Immediately, he glanced at Yas, who was as strong as a bull, nodded and turned to leave without saying anything.

[33.Chapter 33 Sir, are you being too kind to my daughter?]

After Fianna left, Lauren looked at the dusty barbarians behind him, and the kobolds who had been instigated by the barbarians these days.

"Bohr, send someone to instruct them to unload the goods on the carriage into the warehouse for storage. Remember to take inventory."

Butler Pole nodded immediately, "Yes, sir."

"Yas, you and Sim take everyone to the back garden, and I will let the kitchen prepare food for you."

The eyes of the barbarian and the kobold immediately lit up when they heard this, and they screamed excitedly.

After making some arrangements, Lauren looked at the dozens of slaves purchased from the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce.

Standing at the front of the crowd were a bearded man and a young girl with a pure temperament and an exceptional appearance.

What is particularly noticeable is that the girl is extremely shy, keeping her head down all the time, not daring to look at others.

"Dern and Ariel will come with me, and the others will help the convoy unload the cars. Anyone who is proficient in cooking can apply to Butler Boer to work in the kitchen."

Immediately seven or eight slaves raised their hands excitedly, how could it be better to go to work in the kitchen than to unload the car.

Lauren nodded, and let the pale-haired housekeeper, Ball, arrange the people down.

He brought the bearded man who had just been named and the girl with an exceptionally pure temperament to the hall on the first floor of the manor.

As a descendant of the Bauhinia family, high-ranking nobles, if they were still in the capital of the Silvermoon Kingdom, their residences would not be too extravagant.

But in the endless wasteland, he can only make do with it.

The gray walls around the hall are empty, only a few exquisite art ornaments are placed on the flame-out fireplace on the right.

The only furniture in the house is the 12-meter-long log-colored long table in the middle.

But what is interesting is that there is a carved armchair placed every one meter around the long table, which looks very neat and has obviously been carefully arranged by the servants.

There is a bouquet of blooming white flowers in the oval crystal vase on the table, and a faint fragrance wafts from the nostrils.

Adds a touch of color to the shabby look of the lobby.

Lauren didn't think too much about these decorations. He stepped to the main seat, and the bearded man who hadn't opened the stool to follow him into the room had quick eyesight and quick hands, and respectfully helped him open the stool with an apologetic smile on his face.

After sitting down, Lauren looked at the nervous two people in front of him and smiled.

"No need to be restrained, just find a seat and sit down."

The bearded man shook his head anxiously.

"Lord Lauren, thank you for your gift, it is more convenient for us to stand up and follow your teaching..."

They were just slaves, and Lauren was the master, the master of Gray Eagle's territory.

This boy can decide their fate with a wave of his hand, and the two have never been at the same level of life.

Lauren didn't force it either, the different classes and statuses of Noel's main plane were very different.

Such a thing as equality for everyone could not be realized in the previous life, and it is even more impossible in this world with extraordinary power.

"Deen, I have known you for a few days, maybe you are interested in telling me about your origin."

Although the bearded man named Deen was uneasy when he heard the words, his expression was calm.

"My lord, I am originally a descendant of a baron near the rotting swamp in the north. Hundreds of years ago, the bloody day broke out, and the blood polluters destroyed our family's territory.

After losing the territory, the title of nobility was also revoked.

Our generation has become even more destitute and poor.

In order to avoid the threat, I can only flee with Ariel.

But a year ago, we were caught by a gang of robbers while fleeing.

They sold us to slave traders, changed hands several times, and ended up in Decker City. "

What Dern said is very simple, and there is no thrilling or too tragic emotion, it seems that all this is not worth talking about...

Lauren nodded. It is quite normal for blood polluters to destroy human territory on the main plane of Noel, and any slave can hear similar stories.

"Your past does not affect your continued contribution to the Gray Eagle Territory."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said deeply.

"I talked to you on the road. The Gray Eagle Territory is about to set up a city hall. Do you have any thoughts on this?"

Hearing the words, De En said quickly, "We obey your orders, Lord Laurent."

Lauren didn't say anything when he heard this, and looked at the girl next to the bearded Dern who was too shy to look directly at him.

"Ariel, what do you think?"

Hearing Lauren's roll call, the girl named Ariel subconsciously grasped the hem of her clothes with both hands, raised her head with a blushing face, and kept her gaze to the side, whispering.

"Master Lauren, the Gray Eagle Territory is still small in scale. The establishment of the city hall should be practical, and there is no need to establish too many complicated departments in a short time..."

Lauren nodded slightly, and looked at the shy girl with satisfaction.

Ariel was wearing shabby gray clothes with many patches on them, and her expression was a bit immature and timid.

What is eye-catching is those big clean eyes, which have a magical power that makes people feel at ease.

A girl-next-door feeling came over me.
