Chapitre 1272: Forcing Lord Parker's Hand

While giving free rein to Metztil, Alexander cleverly asked the man to focus more on the rich noble houses and manor. 

And given the high quality loot there, the Helvati chief had little reason to refuse.

Thus soon many nearby nobles began to hurry towards the safety of the huge walls of Caira, bringing with them all kinds of exaggerated stories, such as claiming to have seen fields of fire that spanned for 'kilometers'.

This account inevitably caused great distress among the elite and they flocked to Miss Linda to do something to save their lands.

At the same time, the lady got news back from her family in the north and they claimed to have no knowledge of any kind of deal being struck with Lady Miranda there.

Neither could they provide any explanation as to how Alexander was able to swell his men to such great heights.
