Chapter 45: Even Pelerian is Shocked

A small but peaceful village.

A modest fief without splendor.

These were the expressions that often described Greyrim.

But that's long been a thing of the past.

Now, knights in ash-colored armor walk the streets of Greyrim.

Even on rainy days, the knights don't remove their armor. As the heavy knights walk, the paving stones of the roads crack and break.

That's not all.

Gunter also had mercenaries in addition to the Iron Lion Knights.

These mercenaries patrolled inside the outer walls instead of the existing fief soldiers.

The lord has been sent to the capital under arrest.

The most loyal vassals were imprisoned on various charges, and some even died resisting.

Although ordinary fief residents shouldn't be affected by such circumstances, the reality was different. A chilling wind blew from top to bottom.

Children who used to run joyfully in the streets were no longer seen.

Rumble.
