Hardy has always known that some races in the demon world can eat people.
But in his previous life, he only regarded games as games, and these 'things' were regarded as background settings, and he didn't care at all.
After all, Tianxuan is a worker. If you can support yourself, you have done your best.
At that time, he focused more on the cost-effectiveness of the task and concentrated on making money.
But it’s different now. He is a so-called ‘meat-eater’, a high-level person in a country.
After enjoying a lot of benefits and resources, he has the obligation to manage and protect the people under his command.
When Hardy returned to the Lord's Mansion in Butale County, the mountain of bones in the main hall had been cleared. The soldiers transported it to a small forest outside the city and dug a large The bones were put into the pit and buried together.
Hadi sat in the study, looking at the records left by the local lords, and sighed helplessly.
“Of the population of nearly 400,000, only more than 700 people were left in the end.” He covered his face with a somewhat uncomfortable expression.
For those in the rear security zone, these records may be just numbers.
But those fighting on the front lines know exactly what this number represents.
Hardy felt very uncomfortable now. He wanted to vent the extremely suppressed anger in his heart, but his reason told him that as a lord and a commander, he needed to calm down.
Especially in a battle involving the survival of the race, such as the war between humans and demons, calmness is even more important.
At this time, there was a knock on the door and then it was pushed open.
Abner walked in and said: "Sir Hardy, we have collected the belongings of most families in the city."
Hardy nodded: "Take out one-twentieth and distribute it equally to each survivor."
"Is this too much?" Abner asked.
The entire city's money is gathered together. Even if it is only one-twentieth, it is still an extremely huge number.
Distribute it to more than 700 people, and each person will receive a sum of money that can ensure that they will eat and drink well for several lifetimes.
"It doesn't matter." Hardy sighed: "It is a lucky thing and a painful thing for them to survive. After all, their relatives...cannot be found. Let them Having something to depend on for the rest of their lives may make them a little happier for the rest of their lives.”
Abner also became depressed and silent when he heard this.
Hadi then said: "Put out another third as a reward for the army. The soldiers who died will receive the largest pension, followed by the seriously injured and lightly injured, and then all the soldiers will also receive A sum of money. How to distribute it, you make a form and show it to me."
Abner looked stern, he knew that Hardy was training and cultivating himself.
"Yes, I will work hard, Your Excellency."
Hardy was very satisfied with the other party's attitude. He looked at the lord's coat of arms on the table. The coat of arms of the Britta family is a It was just a flying bird. Because the shape was so strange, Hardy couldn't identify what kind of bird it was.
He asked: "Have you found the distant relatives of the local lord?"
"They have been found." Abner said with a smile: "They are waiting in the guest room, waiting for your summons."< br>
"Then invite them over." Hardy said softly.
Abner walked out of the study, then came in with a fat woman and three children.
The fat woman has red hair and her face is covered with scars.
She looks like a middle-aged woman, but she is actually only about twenty-five years old. A hard life can easily make her age.
The four of them were very nervous and reserved in front of Hardy.
Especially the three children, they didn’t even have the courage to look at Hadi, they just lowered their heads. "Susan Butale! The illegitimate daughter of the owner of the Butale family and a prostitute." Hardy turned a notebook to a certain page and pushed it in front of the other party: "Although you have never entered Butale's house. , but your father will occasionally send you some supplies so that you can live to grow up and get married."
The name Susan is extremely common in every city. There are at least hundreds of women named Susan here.
The fat woman looked at Hardy with horror on her face.
She was indeed the illegitimate daughter of the Butale family, but she never felt that this identity was of much help to her.
She grew up relying on the little money her mother earned from selling her body, but she was very ambitious. No matter how hard and tired she was, she never went into her mother's profession.
I married an honest sharecropper a few years ago and had three children.
Only the year before last, my husband passed away due to illness.
Now, only she, her two sons and one daughter are left at home.
She didn’t understand, what was Hadi doing by bringing her here?
Although she has not received aristocratic education, she is at the bottom and knows the sinister nature of people's hearts and how terrible they are.
Knowing that benefits can drive people crazy.
Now the entire Butale family seems to be dead, and only her, the illegitimate daughter, is left.
Could it be that... Susan suddenly thought of something, fell to her knees in horror, and shouted: "Sir, I have nothing to do with Britta, I am just a child of a prostitute, I know nothing, I understand nothing "
When the three children saw their mother like this, their faces turned pale with fright, and they knelt down with frightened expressions.
Hardy sighed softly.
Seeing that Hardy didn't speak, Susan became even more frightened. She kowtowed and shouted, "Sir, you can kill me. Please let my three children go. They don't understand anything." , they are still children.”
The three children were very confused when they saw their mother like this.
Also more scared.
Hardy said in a calm tone: "You shouted so loudly, I can't even speak."
The woman's voice seemed to have been stopped by the recording.
The study suddenly became quiet.
“I understand what you are worried about.” Hardy said in a gentle tone: “But not all nobles are as scary as you think. Now you are the only direct bloodline of the Butale family. Well, from today on, you are the female lord of Butale, Susan Butale, do you understand?”
Susan raised her head and looked at Hardy in surprise.
She suspected that she had heard wrongly and looked confused.
At this time, the three children also raised their heads and looked at Hardy, who was smiling.
Hardy is extremely handsome, and his smile is the kind of person who is so charming that he would kill you for it.
The three children stared blankly at Hadi, their expressions gradually changing from fear to admiration and admiration.
Hardy continued: "I will leave part of the city's money in the Lord's Mansion, and I will also leave a knighthood to protect your safety. What you have to do next is to find a way to collect money from the surrounding towns. The people moved part of the city to this city and rebuilt it. The city is running."
"I... don't understand..."
"If you don't understand, just learn slowly and think slowly." After I leave, I guess the nobles around you will come to trouble you. If something happens, Just ask the Knights for help. If the Knights can't solve it, tell those people that your bloodline and your inheritance are recognized by me, Hardy. If you don't accept it, come to Hukaro City to find me."
Speaking of this, Hardy paused and said with a smile: "If they still refuse, send someone to inform me. I will stand up for you without violating justice and justice. But I will only protect your family for five years. After five years, you have to rely on yourself "(End of this chapter)
