112: Chapter 112 Uprising

"Baron Veilla's Family once worried that one day they would be besieged in the castle, leading to the destruction of the Family, so they secretly dug a tunnel under the castle that led directly to the outside."

"One of the entrances to that secret passage is in the hill not far from here, and the exit is inside Veilla's residence, which is not far from the church where God of War is located; it's just a few steps away."

After saying this, the other two looked at the speaker with horror on their faces.

They hadn't expected this fat man to be so close to Veilla that he would know such a secret matter.

Thinking this, the two of them became dejected.

They really couldn't think of any other way to save their lives that could compare to this condition.

As for running away, they knew clearly in their hearts that trying to escape under the nose of a wizard was simply wishful thinking.

Rather than resisting and making Byron unhappy, thereby suffering torture, it was better to just accept their fate and have a quick end.

Byron nodded slightly: "Not bad, indeed not bad. Then later, you will come with me and enter the castle through that secret passage. As for you two..."

At this point, Byron's voice paused slightly, his gaze shifting to the two dejected men.

The two of them, as if their Soul had been sucked away, had no reaction to Byron's words, sitting motionless on the ground, in stark contrast to the excited fat man.

"You will also return to the castle via the secret passage you just mentioned. I need you to immediately organize your Family and Veilla's loyalists to launch a counterattack against God of War's subordinates once you return to the castle."

"You can do this, can't you?"

The two men, who had been dejected, shuddered at these words, looked up at Byron, their faces full of disbelief.

They couldn't believe that there was actually a turn for the better.

However, since they could survive, who would want to die?

The two immediately patted their chests to assure Byron that once they returned to the castle, they would start acting according to Byron's instructions and would absolutely not let Byron down!

As for the fat man, he was now dumbfounded.

If it could be like this, then what did his efforts just now count for?!

Was he just entertaining himself?!

Byron ignored the fat man's reaction and, looking at the excited pair, said in a flat tone.

"However, before you act, I hope you two can keep your heads clear. Don't even think about doing anything stupid; otherwise, I wouldn't mind letting you experience the methods of a wizard."

Although Byron's voice was calm and without a trace of fluctuation, to the two men, it sounded like the whisper of a demon from the abyss, and a chill spread from the bottom of their hearts to their entire bodies.

In that instant, many stories about the cruelty of wizards, whether heard from others or widely circulated in the kingdom, flashed through their minds.

Shuddering, the two stood up simultaneously, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Byron, and they promised him they would do their utmost and would not dare to slack off in the slightest!

Byron didn't care about their oaths; he just waved his hand to interrupt them and told them to set off immediately.

They were to start their actions immediately after entering the castle, and the bigger the commotion, the better.

Watching the two support each other as they left, Byron turned his head to look at the fat man standing to the side, trembling and breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Alright, it's time for us to set off too. Let's go to that secret passage you mentioned earlier that leads directly to Veilla's residence."

Upon hearing this, the fat man nodded repeatedly, trotted in front of Byron, and said while bowing and scraping:

"My Lord Wizard, please, I will lead you to that secret passage now."

Subsequently, the figures of Byron and the fat man disappeared into the jungle, leaving behind only corpses all over the ground and scorched earth.

...

"Boom——!!!"

A huge roar resounded within the castle, followed by flames spreading to ignite a corner of the castle, and shouts of killing arose everywhere!

In an instant, the originally peaceful and beautiful atmosphere of the castle was shattered.

At this moment, the farmers working in the fields were also startled by this commotion and looked up at the castle one after another.

When they saw a raging fire igniting a corner of the castle and heard the rising shouts of killing, shock and panic appeared on the faces of these working farmers.

Some farmers didn't even drop the farm tools in their hands, instead rushing toward the castle while holding them, and no matter how the managers shouted, it was of no use.

Their running not only instantly ignited panic, but even other farmers who were initially able to remain calm followed suit and ran along with them.

As for those managers, seeing this scene, they didn't shout anymore, but instead retreated one after another, hiding themselves as much as possible.

They knew clearly in their hearts how they usually treated these farmers.

If they acted like they did before in this situation, it would be pure suicide.

As for those managers who couldn't see the situation clearly, they had already been trampled into meat paste under the impact of the many farmers, or were swept along toward the castle.

As for why these farmers were like this, it was because the corner of the castle that had just caught fire was exactly where they lived, belonging to the commoner district within the castle.

Most of the farmers were not alone; they had wives, children, and relatives who were all still in the castle at this moment.

Facing such a situation, who could remain calm?

On the other side, inside the castle, in the corner where the fire had started.

At this moment, among the crisscrossing houses, many people were holding torches and setting fires everywhere.

After setting the fires, these people did not hesitate and immediately headed toward the next target, without the slightest bit of delay.

The commoners living here, seeing this scene, were either fighting the fire, saving people, or crying and wailing, displaying the various states of life.

Among them, there were also people who wanted to stop those individuals from continuing to set fires, but without exception, they all died at their hands.

This resulted in no one daring to step forward to stop them at this moment, they could only stand on the side watching silently or doing their own things.

Outside this corner, the castle guards also noticed what was happening here, realized that things were not peaceful, and gathered here one after another.

Some of them had received orders from God of War, some were there because of their own sense of responsibility, and some were originally from this place.

But unfortunately, before they had gone very far, they were intercepted by another group of people.

The two groups instantly erupted into an extremely brutal slaughter.

Watching the scenes unfolding below, a man with golden hair looked at his companion with a kindly face standing beside him.

"Is this really okay?"

The kindly-faced man looked below, his eyes narrowed slightly: "If we don't do this, how can we complete the task the Lord entrusted to us."

"If we let the Lord down, you should know clearly in your heart what our fate will be."

Hearing this, the man with golden hair also remembered something and stopped speaking.

These two were none other than the two men Byron had sent out to stir up chaos in the castle.

After they returned to the castle and calculated, even adding all the private soldiers of the Families in the castle, they wouldn't be able to create much of a commotion.

Furthermore, it was impossible for them to persuade the other Families in such a short time.

Therefore, they turned their attention to the most densely populated commoner living area in the castle.

They understood that there were enough people there, and adding the farmers working outside, the inside and outside combined would be enough to turn the entire castle upside down!

In this way, let alone completing the task assigned by Byron, it would even far exceed his expectations.

In this way, they might even be able to obtain some benefits from him.

Thus, the two hit it off immediately, gathered all their Family's private soldiers, and this led to the scene happening right now.
