The Most Lord

Chapter 73 Surrender

But Swain's words reminded Allen.

If I act too kindly and close to the people, it is inevitable that if ordinary civilians encounter any grievances or problems that cannot be resolved, they will directly come to me for help.

Either stop him halfway to seek justice, or go to the gate of the lord's mansion to block himself. If there are too many such things, it is indeed a bit shameful.

The root cause of this situation is not his kindness and closeness to the people, but because there is no legal institution that provides services to civilians in Lieyang Kingdom or even in the four countries of the Eastern Continent.

The laws of the kingdom protect the interests of the nobles and the interests of the common people, and there is no guarantee before the law.

Although civilians are not completely devoid of human rights, when their own interests are violated, there is no place to appeal.

The only legal department in the Kingdom is the Noble Court. As you can tell from the name, this is a department dedicated to safeguarding the interests of the nobles.

Indeed, the only chance for commoners to enter the court of nobles was when they were tried in violation of the laws of the kingdom.

As for the violation of civilian interests and want to appeal? Sorry, the court of nobility has no time for civilian affairs!

Allen decided to call the high-level leaders of the territory together when he had time to discuss and formulate the laws of the territory, and then establish a special judicial department. In the future, residents of the territory may have a complaint place.

The laws of the Chinese leader can't just serve the nobles!

In fact, if it weren't for the fear of causing a joint attack by all the aristocratic forces in the mainland, Allen would want to abolish the aristocratic system directly.

But Allen only dared to think about it, not to mention his little Huaxia leader, even the Lieyang Kingdom, if he dared to announce the abolition of the aristocratic system now, the result would be that the entire kingdom would be wiped out in a short period of time.

"My lord, the barracks have arrived."

Galen's resolute voice interrupted Allen's thinking.

Allen raised his head, and sure enough, the barracks were already in front of him.

This barracks was built very crudely, from which it can be seen that the Folkestone family did not attach great importance to the soldiers.

"Let's go meet those surrendered soldiers first," Allen said.

These surrendered soldiers were said to be detained, but in fact their weapons were confiscated and they were restricted to a certain area and could not move freely.

In terms of board and lodging, they ate the same food as the Huaxia soldiers, lived in the same barracks of the barracks, and did not receive any unfair treatment.

When Allen came to the camp where the surrendered soldiers were, ten pioneer knights were guarding outside the camp.

Ten vanguard knights are enough to guard more than a hundred low-ranking soldiers without weapons.

"My lord!"

Seeing Allen coming, the ten pioneer knights saluted.

Allen nodded towards the vanguard knights: "Notify all the descendants, gather outside the camp, I want to see them."

"Obey!"

The vanguard knights took the order and entered the territory to notify the surrendered soldiers.

Soon, the surrendered soldiers were notified and all walked out of the barracks and gathered in the open space outside the barracks.

These surrendered soldiers are automatically divided into two groups, one group is the more than one hundred soldiers of the first rank, and the other group is the guard team of more than thirty people.

"I am the lord of China, Alan Senlan."

Galen said towards the descendants.

These soldiers know much more than ordinary people. They have heard the name of Alan Senlan for a long time.

"A few days ago, Lord Folkestone led people to attack our Huaxia Territory. Among them was a reinforcement in blue armor. I believe you have all seen it."

The descendants nodded subconsciously. They had naturally seen those blue-armored soldiers, and they were deeply impressed, because those blue-armored soldiers were all very arrogant.

"But you may not know that those blue-armored soldiers are from a force that calls itself the Blue Shirt Army, and this Blue Shirt Army, hehe, they are aggressively attacking the kingdom's territory. In other words, they are a rebellious force in the kingdom."

"Lord Folkestone's defection to the Blue Shirts is an act of betrayal of the kingdom. As soldiers of Folkestone's, you cannot escape from this matter."

When the soldiers heard Alan's words, they immediately rioted.

If it is true as Allen said, their actions can already be regarded as treason, and the death penalty is cheap, and it might even hurt their family members!

For a while, all the surrendered soldiers were in a commotion, they felt wronged! They are just ordinary soldiers, how could they know that the lord has turned to the rebels!

"But because you are only being deceived by the Folkestone family, I can bypass you this time and not report your crimes to the kingdom."

Hearing Alan's words, the hearts of the surrendered soldiers were finally relieved just now. At the same time, most of the surrendered soldiers were extremely grateful to Alan. This Lord Alan is really a good person!

Allen did not punish them, and for these surrendered soldiers, it was tantamount to giving them a chance to regenerate.

Standing in the crowd, the chief guard of the lord's mansion had a flash of light in his eyes.

"I'll let you go back now. When you get home, you can think about whether to stay in the army and become soldiers of our Huaxia leader. Or leave the army and become a civilian from now on."

"After going back and thinking about it, those who are willing to stay in the army should report directly to the barracks. Those who want to leave the army should work hard at home and don't cause trouble in the territory."

"Before you leave, all of you must register your identities. If I find out that any of you commit crimes in the territory in the future, I will add today's treason charges to you!"

Allen said this to deter these soldiers. After all, these soldiers are fighters, stronger than ordinary people. If they choose to do evil after leaving the army, it will be difficult for ordinary civilians to resist. And with what Allen said today, if they want to do evil, they have to consider whether they will be caught by Allen, and it will be their old account of rebellion.

"Swain, you arrange a few soldiers to be responsible for registering the information of these surrendered soldiers, and let them leave after registration."

"Jie Jie, obey orders, my lord!"

Swain took the lead.

Allen handed over the affairs here to Swain, got up and was about to leave. He believed that most of these surrendered soldiers would choose to return to the army after they heard about the treatment of the Chinese leaders when they returned home.

Allen was about to leave when he was stopped by a voice.

"Master Allen, please stay!"

Allen stopped, only to see a middle-aged man walking out of the crowd and walking towards him.

Galen took a step forward to stand in front of Allen. Galen knew this man. He was the head of the guards of the Folkestone Lord's Palace, a fifth-level soldier.

Seeing Galen's guard against him, the chief guard stopped and stood not far from Allen.

"What's wrong with me?" Allen asked.

The chief guard nodded: "There is indeed something, but it is not convenient to say it here."

"This man is the head of the guards of the Folkestone Lord's Mansion, a fifth-level soldier." Galen softly explained the identity of this man to Allen.

Allen nodded: "Since it's inconvenient to say it here, come with me."

Allen took Galen, the chief guard, to an empty barracks.

"What's the matter, can we talk now?"

Allen asked the chief guard.

The head guard turned his head to look at Galen, meaning that he wanted Galen to leave.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. In Huaxia, there is nothing that needs to be avoided by Galen."

Hearing Allen's words, a trace of unwillingness flashed in the chief guard's eyes, but he knew that it was impossible to send Galen away.

"Master Allen, I don't think you have found the vault led by Folkestone yet?"

The chief guard asked Allen.
