Chapter 110: Exploiting Horton! The Goddess Envoy Appears (Fourth Update)
"Haha, I just robbed it! Or do you think your life is not worth this price?"

"I'm a viscount, not a duke! I have to be kind!"

Raven observed his expression and felt that he didn't seem to be faking it, so he nodded.

"Then it's 80,000. No less."

"Kill! Kill him now, I won't redeem you!"

"That's 60,000. If it's less, I'll kill you."

Horton said angrily, "30,000, this is my limit, if it's more, I will sell my wife."

Feeling that he had squeezed enough, Raven nodded:
"That's thirty thousand and one gold coins."

"Why is there one more?"

"Thirty thousand is compensation for your sins, and one gold coin is your ransom."

Horton was furious: "You are humiliating a nobleman!"

Raven went up to him and slapped him in the face: "Shame on you!"

After a severe beating, Raven asked Holden to write a letter in person and send it back to the territory, and then wait for the ransom.

Three days later, Horton's housekeeper came to visit and brought several large boxes.

Raven ordered his men to open the box.

In addition to the yellow gold coins, there was also a thick stack of land deeds, which barely made up the total of 30,000.

Raven accepted the ransom with satisfaction and let the butler leave.

The housekeeper was confused. Wasn’t it about redeeming someone?

Give the person to me!
Raven told him that Horton felt that he had committed a serious crime, so he took the initiative to ask to reflect on his mistakes in prison and come out after a month.

This guy is guilty of a heinous crime, how could he let him go easily?

Torture it for at least a month.

The butler made a scene immediately, but was severely beaten by Lanster and thrown out of the Lord's Mansion.

He had no choice but to leave howling.

In the reception room, several people gathered around the gold coins and kept swallowing their saliva.

They have never seen so many gold coins in their lives!

"Brother Raven, are we rich?" An Qi's eyes were full of stars.

Raven smacked his lips: "It should be less."

"That's enough. Horton is definitely bleeding heavily this time. He can only sell his butt to make money when he goes back." Sean laughed.

"Now let's discuss how to spend the money."

Raven groaned.

“First of all, we must provide compensation to the soldiers who died and the wounded in this battle.

As for the rest, we will use it to buy food and build houses so that the refugees can have a home to live in, so that they can truly settle down.”

Sean nodded: “Yes, we need to leave some mines for development.

With the investment, the mine can run better.”

His suggestion was responded to by everyone.

At this moment, Huey whispered:
"I suggest buying a set of armor for each of our warriors. They suffered a terrible loss this time."

Raven sighed softly.

Yes, if he had armor on, none of his soldiers would die in this battle.

"That's it." He agreed immediately.

"By the way, are you really going to lock up Horton for a month?" Sean asked.

"Yes, maybe even longer."

"He is a viscount after all. It might not be a good idea to keep him in prison for a long time."

“It doesn’t matter. I’m worried that if we let him go now, he will cause us trouble again. After all, this guy has an uncle who is a count.

So let’s wait until Lentini is stable, then we won’t be afraid of him anymore.”

"Actually, you just want to vent your anger the most." An Qi smiled.

"This girl really understands me," Raven laughed, "I have to vent my anger!"

Lanling Town.

Since the Dawn Cultists occupied this place, the town has been completely transformed, its size has expanded rapidly, and it has already taken shape as a city.

Not far outside the town, a group of fully armed soldiers were resting.

They were wearing retro armor and there were more than a hundred of them.

"Your Highness Charlotte, I have been investigating for two days. This town has been occupied by the Dawn Cultists and has been cut off from the outside world."

A man with a strong aura said.

His name is Kate and he is the captain of this team.

The one called Her Highness was a young woman, about twenty years old, cool and pretty.

"How many of these Dawn Cultists are there?"

"About fifty people."

Charlotte thought for a moment and said decisively, "Get ready. We will storm the town and subdue these believers."

"What if they resist violently?"

"Then don't hold back. You are all the backbone of my William Kingdom. You cannot suffer any loss."

"Yes, sir!" the man turned and left.

"Sister, I have a bad feeling. Something terrible is waiting for us ahead."

A girl next to the woman said.

She was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a frail figure, but her eyes were so pure that they seemed to contain stars.

Charlotte's expression changed immediately and she asked anxiously:

"Vega, when did you have this premonition?"

She knew that although her sister had no powers, she had the magical ability of foresight.

It was with this ability that they were able to escape Dante's army many times.

"The moment you make your decision." the little girl said worriedly.

Charlotte's expression grew more serious.

"Stop the action and reconnaissance!"

Two days later, Charlotte met Vega again.

“Oddly enough, the moment I said it, the premonition disappeared.

But I always felt like I was being watched, which was not good.”

Charlotte fell into deep thought.

“Logically, there are only some remnants of the Dawn Cult in this town, and they pose no threat to us.

Are you too tired these days? Once we occupy Lanling, you can have a good rest."

"Well, maybe."

Charlotte jumped on the horse and shouted, "Uncle Kate, start the attack."

A group of people headed straight for the church in the center of Lanling Town.

At the beginning of the attack, they thought they would encounter fierce resistance, but they didn't see anyone along the way.

This abnormality made Charlotte uneasy, and her anxiety reached its peak when she rushed to the church.

A tall woman was standing in front of the church waiting for her, with dozens of Dawn followers standing behind her.

"I've been waiting for you for four days." said the woman indifferently.

As the words fell, doors all over the town were thrown open, and a large number of saints rushed out, surrounding Charlotte and others.

Charlotte looked at it and couldn't help but gasp!

These people had fanatical eyes and mysterious smiles on their faces, and the expressions of hundreds of people were exactly the same!
Any fool can tell something is wrong.

She suddenly felt cold all over and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you? What happened to them?"

"They have all been planted with the seeds of divine power and have become holy people."

The woman said calmly, pointing at Weijia.

"You have a rare pure body, enough to carry a part of my soul seed, so you can live."

"Uncle Kate, kill her!" Charlotte suddenly shouted.

She realized that this woman was the leader of these believers, and that she could turn the tide if she killed her.

As soon as Charlotte finished her words, Kate jumped high and slashed at the woman with a sword.

He had already planned a sneak attack.

At this moment, an old man suddenly flashed out from behind the woman and blocked his attack.

"Gonzalez, you are still alive?" Kate narrowed her eyes and recognized the old man.

“It turns out to be the remnants of William’s Kingdom.

Since you are here, these two must be Charlotte and Her Royal Highness Vega, right? "

"Do you know each other?" the tall woman asked.

“My Lord, they are exiles from the Kingdom of William.

When the Kingdom of William was destroyed by Dante, two members of the royal family escaped and continued to cause trouble in Dante. They were these two princes. "

"Kingdom of William?"

The woman thought for a moment and said calmly:

“Since you are a princess, I can give you a choice.

As long as you are willing to submit to me and be my spokesperson in this plane, I can help you restore your country and even conquer the entire plane."

"Spokesperson? Conquer the prologue? Haha, do you think you are a god?" Charlotte said disdainfully.

"That's not important. What's important is that you develop saints for me, or you will die."

Charlotte sneered and raised her staff, which was swirling with wind and snow.

"Warriors of the Kingdom of William, we are descendants of the Storm Lord. How can we surrender to others? Kill them!"

The warriors behind her roared and rushed towards the Dawn Cultists.
