After completing all the handover matters, Pierre suddenly felt more relaxed than ever before. He no longer had to worry about how to resist the gray-collar workers.

After surrendering, even the mental exhaustion will be cured. Now Pierre writes letters to other great nobles in the North every day with an extremely relaxed attitude, urging them to surrender.

As the big brother in charge of investment, Pierre is well aware of the pain points of these nobles. He almost prescribes the right medicine for each disease and explains the problems that each noble is worried about one by one.

Of course, the most important issue is that White Frost Castle couldn't stop the Gray Collar's army. These great nobles have to consider whether their city walls are as strong as White Frost Castle.

In this regard, the attitudes of those great nobles were very subtle. Some of them wrote back to Pierre saying that the North was now experiencing an internal fight within the Lars family and they would not get involved.

This means that while cutting ties with Doug, he still wants to ride on the fence, or he feels that the conditions offered by the gray-collar workers are not enough and he wants to pull it off a bit.

Pierre was somewhat disdainful of this. These people simply did not grasp the essence of sitting on the fence. However, Pierre also expressed his understanding. After all, the conditions given by the Gray and White Collar were not much different from those of a defeat. Can nobles who lost their land really still be called nobles?

These people are just like Pierre before, always thinking about holding on a little longer, resisting a little longer, even if they can't resist the attack of the gray-collar, the conditions they can negotiate when they surrender will be more favorable. These people are still fantasizing that the gray-collar can give up the so-called regulations and laws, defeat Doug, and turn the North back to what it was like during the time of Grand Duke Lars.

Of course, judging from what these people have revealed between the lines, if Lind abandons those complicated bills and regulations, these people will probably vote faster and may even lead the way.

But in fact, after seeing Gray Collar take over White Frost Castle and then wipe out the surrounding small and medium-sized nobles as bandits, Pierre realized it.

The conditions that Gray Collar negotiates with you at the beginning are actually the best. The governor who controls Gray Collar is not a very patient person. If you really want to sit on the fence, the other party will only choose to continue the war.

After all, it is not a question of whether or not the gray-collar workers can overthrow all these nobles, but a question of cost and time.

Pierre is now very glad that he is still of some use to the gray-collar workers and that his attitude is relatively correct, but the great nobles after him may not be so lucky. After all, the surrender of the Laurent family has set a positive example for the northern nobles, so the next step is to find a negative example.

In the past few days, apart from writing letters, Pierre spent the rest of his time introducing the various secret passages in White Frost Castle to Laurie. After all, this place would be used as a military base for the Gray-Collar Army in the future. If anything went wrong, the Laurent family would definitely be held responsible.

So Pierre didn't dare to hide anything.

After introducing the last secret passage, Pierre prepared to say goodbye to Laurie.

Next, Pierre and his family will return to Gray Collar under the escort of Knight Lars, and will hand Emily over to the nuns on the way.

Until the very end, Pierre did not dare to look back at White Frost Castle. It was impossible to say that he did not feel sorry at all. If he really did not feel sorry, Pierre would not have resisted so resolutely at the beginning.

Apart from the guards arranged by Laurie, Pierre only brought his two sons and Emily. The rest of the tribesmen were separated and dispersed. The fact that Pierre's family was still together was a little privilege given by the governor.

Along the way, Pierre kept asking Knight Lars and officials from the cities they passed through about the specific system of gray-collar workers. Pierre bought several newspapers alone.

In fact, just as Pierre had guessed, there was a severe shortage of gray-collar workers, especially those with higher education, so the governor had to recruit former aristocrats.

But even for aristocrats, it was not easy to obtain an official position. Just learning about the examination method made Pierre feel dizzy. He could not even tell whether he was being an official or being in prison. However, this did not prevent a group of old aristocrats who wanted to take back their family power from flocking to it.

Looking at his two silly sons, Pierre shook his head. In the puzzled eyes of the two brothers, Pierre finally had to let the two brothers find a woman and start a family as soon as possible and stop wandering around.

Anyway, nobility is just an honorary title now, and Pierre doesn't need to go to great lengths to find someone to marry. The right thing to do is to train two more trumpets as soon as possible.

It was not until he looked at Emily twice that Pierre felt a little relieved. Although Emily had made many mistakes this time, the main responsibility did not lie with Emily, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Moreover, Emily is much smarter than her two brothers. Although she is only fighting bandits under the organization of the nuns, at least she has joined the gray-collar army.

From now on, the burden of reviving the Laurent family can be said to fall entirely on Emily's shoulders.

Pierre and his family came to Deepwater Port, which was the largest river port city in the North except for the river valley. However, due to the exploitation of the original local lords, there was basically no development.

At this time, the nuns had been waiting in the city for a long time. As soon as Pierre and his family entered the city, they saw the nuns treating patients for free.

Emily wanted to go up and say hello, but after taking a closer look, she hesitated. Pierre also took a look and found that most of the nuns in the nunnery in front of them were wearing red robes. Were they really not nuns from some evil cult?

Especially after getting closer, Pierre discovered that the other person's robe seemed to be stained with blood, and he was wearing a bird-beak mask on his face that was also stained with blood.

It is really strange that a group of nuns are providing free medical treatment to people in Deepwater Port.

After hesitating for a while, Emily finally mustered up the courage and took the initiative to step forward and ask, "Excuse me, are you from the Sisterhood of Saint Flora? I'm Emily Laurent. General Laurie should have contacted you. I want to join you and help you fight the bandits in the future."

After treating a patient, Flora stood up, nodded and said, "I have heard everything from General Lowry. I will trouble you from now on. The remaining Lars knights will come to help you."

Emily felt relieved when she saw the Lars knights behind the nuns. She just hoped that she would not have to take these nuns to fight the bandits.

But Emily still asked curiously: "Lady Saint, why are you and these nuns wearing red clothes?"

"Oh, this one."

Flora mentioned the corner of her nun's robe that was not stained red and said, "This is all the blood of the demons. They killed them when they blocked our way. We originally wanted to clean it, but we thought the red robe looked pretty, so we did some special treatment."

"Demons? Kill them? " It was the first time that Pierre doubted his ability in the common language.

Hearing Pierre say this, Flora nodded and said, "It's a pity that two of them escaped, otherwise I would have dyed the entire nun's uniform red."

Flora's tone was as gentle as that of a saint. No, she was already a saint. But Pierre regretted sending his little daughter to the nunnery to become a bandit-suppressing knight.

This doesn't look like a proper group of nuns.

"We...we are going to suppress bandits, right?"

"Yes, they are mainly some mountain bandits scattered around the town. Don't worry, there will be surrendered Doug soldiers to guide you, and they will be accompanied by Knight Lars."

Flora stepped forward and patted Emily's shoulder gently, like an older sister, but Emily smelled a faint smell of blood under the robe, covered by the scent of spices.

Although it has undergone special processing, it seems that it will take some time for these spices to completely cover the taste of blood.

Emily resisted the urge to tremble and joined the nuns' anti-bandit team.
