#51 - The destruction of Hagia Sophia and its voluntary surrender
The next day, in the morning, Baron Frank, as usual, got up and had his personal valet, a high-ranking servant, bring him a basin of hot water.
Then, he inquired of a soldier who had just been promoted to his personal guard (the original guards were all dead), about the situation with the Bulgars in the territory.
Were they still besieging the castle and plundering the villages around his castle?
Baron Frank wasn't expecting to hear any decent answers; he was even worried that the Bulgars might break into his castle and have him trampled to death by their horse-ox beasts.
Who knew, the soldier hesitated and said, "Lord Baron, the Bulgars are not besieging us..."
Baron Frank was stunned for a moment, then had his valet remove the towel from his face, revealing a look of surprise.
"How could that be?"
"Have they retreated?"
"Although they aren't good at taking castles... but... I thought I would have to compensate them with another ransom before they would retreat and stop the siege."
"Great, I can finally eat fresh vegetables and meat. What have I been eating these past few days?"
The soldier glanced at the baron, not expecting that at this moment, the baron was still thinking about being able to eat fresh vegetables.
But the people of his territory, including his family, had all lost their lives.
The soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Baron, it's not a retreat. But... those Bulgars all died overnight."
"Even the idols they took with them wherever they attacked have completely disappeared from our territory overnight."
"And all the things they looted before have also disappeared."
Baron Frank turned his head in disbelief to look at this commoner who had just been promoted, his eyes wide, his expression extremely incredulous.
Because he had personally fought against the Bulgars in the territory with the allied forces, and at that time, they had already deployed the Storm Kingdom's common tactics—infantry iron phalanx and left and right flank cavalry tactics.
But when facing the Bulgars' incredibly agile horse-ox cavalry, their infantry phalanx seemed clumsy and ridiculous, and their cavalry seemed extremely fragile.
When the two sides clashed, their army immediately collapsed, followed by an extremely tragic defeat.
But, how could such powerful Bulgars all be wiped out overnight?
Who is the next target of the Bulgars?
Baron Frank suddenly thought of something, barely climbed out of bed, and weakly looked south of the territory—towards Baron Peter's territory.
He muttered to himself. "No wonder, Sunan... Lord Sunan didn't want to see us at that time, it turns out he didn't need to see us at all."
"My territory has suffered too much damage, even without the Bulgars, the lords of the surrounding territories are all my potential enemies."
"And the original Eastern Empire people within my territory will definitely rebel."
Fifty-seven years ago, the Eastern Empire people welcomed the arrival of the Storm Kingdom's knights, thinking that this would get rid of the Eastern Empire's original corrupt and greedy political system and escape the plight of a weak country.
Who knew that the Storm Kingdom's knights were indeed no longer corrupt, but directly became independent feudal lords, and the taxes were even heavier.
The Storm Kingdom's knights were no longer weak, but each one was more rude and brutal than the original Eastern Empire's civil servant government.
Therefore, in fact, there are now some potential rebellious sentiments within the territories of the major Storm Kingdoms.
"I must find a backer, otherwise my Frank family will completely disappear," Baron Frank secretly resolved.
This time, his territory suffered the most severe losses, and even his original friends might become enemies, taking a big bite out of the remaining part of his territory.
The soldier saw that Baron Frank was not speaking and added in a low voice, "We have checked the corpses at the scene, and there are wolf bite marks everywhere."
"There was a Peter family crest from Maple Leaf Town left in the grass at both sites."
… …
"Lord Baron? What's wrong?"
In Simon Territory, Baron Simon, who had lost an arm, spent his days indulging in alcohol to cover up his pain and fear of the Bulgars.
So when he learned at noon on this day that all the Bulgars in Frank Territory had died tragically overnight, he was so shocked that he stood up.
After receiving the specific information, his heart sank.
He looked at Peter Territory on the eastern side of his territory and muttered to himself, "Who did it? The most likely one is..."
"No, we can't provoke Peter Territory in the future. You... you... you... tell everyone below, absolutely do not provoke the people of Peter Territory, and do not allow anyone to trespass into Peter Territory privately. Things are different now than before."
He shouted hoarsely, "Whoever dares to disobey will be killed."
… …
In the afternoon, on the northern border of Frank Territory, near the mountains of the North Seres region, within the settlement of the Tu Ge clan tribe.
This is a tribe among the Bulgars, the temporary stronghold of the Tu Ge clan.
At this moment, inside the tribe's tent, the clan chief was staring at a Bulgar who happened to leave the pastoral group last night and went outside to rob the villagers of the Storm Kingdom privately, so this person was lucky enough not to be killed by the werewolves.
But he didn't know anything, only knew that when he returned to the pastoral group the next morning, he found that everyone had been killed.
He was also uneasy, and took advantage of the fact that the Storm Kingdom people had not reacted to escape back in a hurry.
He reported the situation.
The Tu Ge clan chief stared at him, extremely angry. "So the two excellent pastoral group leaders and their herders of our tribe all died there for no reason, is that what you're telling me?"
"Then tell me, who is the murderer, which baron of the Storm Kingdom is it?"
"With the Beast Lord above, I will crush all their heads."
A clan tribe originally didn't have many people, like their small tribe, there were only a few hundred people in total.
Unexpectedly, overnight, two elite pastoral groups of their tribe were killed in action on the front line.
No, this isn't even the front line.
This is just a looting operation against the weak people of the Storm Kingdom, who is still resisting?
Could it be that the Duke and King of the Storm Kingdom have finally come?
The other pastoral group leaders of the Tu Ge tribe looked at each other.
They are not killing maniacs, the reason why they go wherever they rob is only because they regard the residents of the Storm Kingdom as weak sheep and don't care about their resistance.
Now, they have died so many people at once, these pastoral group leaders and herders are a little scared and want to leave here.
They came to rob food and treasures, not to die.
At this time, the chief also had the intention to leave here.
They don't have the bad habit of confronting head-on, this looting itself has already robbed enough things, they are not prepared to occupy the land and stay as lords.
Just at this moment, a Bulgar walked into the tent and said to the people inside the tent, "Powerful chief, a message has come from the north."
"The great Grass King Karoly, has once again slaughtered a city of 100,000 people of the Storm Kingdom, this time it is their kingdom's central White City, and even burned down their proud St. Sophia Cathedral."
"The great Grass King Karoly said that the Storm Kingdom people are unfaithful and abandoned their righteousness, pretending to surrender, but the priests in the St. Sophia Cathedral actually assassinated him, so he gave us an order, demanding that we slaughter everything we see in front of us, whether surrendering or not. Let the people of the Storm Kingdom feel the pain!"
The Bulgars in the tent were excited and began to hiss in a low voice.
The chief, who originally wanted to retreat, suddenly had a inexplicable courage in his heart and said, "No need to retreat. Let's not attack that direction first, attack the territories of the Storm Kingdom's lords in other directions."
"When more Bulgars and other tribes come here, we will join forces again, reopen this looting route, and burn all the farmland on this looting route, kill all the lords, hahahaha..."
