Chapter 806: Chapter 260: The Church Bishop Arrives (10,000 Words) (Part 5)

"Deploy all the soldiers to guard the front and rear entrances of Morgan Town."

"Without permission, no one is allowed to leave Morgan Town!"

After giving the instructions, without waiting for the Little Flag Officer to respond.

Earl Mendes mounted a horse, riding the warhorse, and pursued the Church Cavalry wagon team ahead.

Upon reaching Samuel’s side, Earl Mendes flashed a smile and spoke: "My lord, I am Earl Mendes, the garrison officer of Morgan Town."

"I have already arranged for a room for rest."

"However, we may not be able to satisfy the Lord Bishop with young and pretty girls..."

Seeing the youthfully smiling face of Earl Mendes, Samuel asked irritably.

"Unable to satisfy?"

"In such a large Morgan Town, can’t we even find a few young girls?"

Earl Mendes shook his head and spoke up.

"My lord..."

Samuel interrupted: "Call me Samuel."

Raising his brows, Earl Mendes continued: "Lord Samuel, perhaps you are not aware."

"A change had occurred in Morgan Town not long ago."

Samuel looked at Earl Mendes with some surprise.

But soon, he suspected something.

"Are you referring to the Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps riot?"

Listening to Samuel’s words, Earl Mendes was taken aback.

Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps?

Why would Samuel suddenly bring up such a long-past event?

It should be known that after the Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps ravaged, a significant event happened in Morgan Town.

The destruction of the Morrison Manor, Janet becoming the Manor Lord of Frank Manor, the downfall of the Three Great Estates.

Even more recently, the fall of the Frank Manor...

Samuel, standing before him, was unaware?

Earl Mendes internally harbored doubts.

What is the reason for this?

Because Morgan Town is too remote?

Or because, as an important figure in Kasong City, Bishop Simo simply doesn’t care about Morgan Town?

These are the only possibilities Earl Mendes could think of.

Nevertheless.

This is good news for him, or for the Lord!

The less Bishop Simo knows after arriving at Morgan Town, the safer the Lord is.

Earl Mendes dutifully replied: "Yes, Lord Samuel."

"Due to the riot by the Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps, even though the Ducas Clan came to suppress the bandits, they ultimately returned empty-handed."

"To ensure the safety of Morgan Town, the security in town has become stringent."

"Especially for outsiders, identity checks are conducted thoroughly."

"This was why we had the scene earlier."

Samuel said nothing, instead casting his gaze to the sides of the road.

Gradually.

A sense of unease surfaced in Samuel’s heart.

Throughout their journey, they had hardly seen any townsmen.

The doors of the houses were tightly shut, windows securely closed.

Aside from a few braziers along the main road, burning firewood.

Apart from the occasional house with oil lamps and candles lit inside.

If it weren’t for Earl Mendes beside him and the team of standard plate armor soldiers behind him.

Samuel might have suspected this to be a ghost town!

Just as Earl Mendes had said.

Did the bandit ravage lead all the townsmen to choose to stay behind closed doors?

During the conversation between Earl Mendes and Samuel.

They arrived in front of a three-story building.

With a slight smile, Earl Mendes explained: "Lord Samuel, Lord Bishop."

"This is the best house in the town."

"It is already in the early hours, if you don’t mind, you all can rest here temporarily."

"Later, I will notify our Lord to come and meet the Lord Bishop!"

Seated on the warhorse, Samuel’s gaze swept over the house in front.

Three stories high, the structure was relatively new.

The interior was illuminated by oil lamps.

Red-orange light illuminated the first-floor hall of the house.

Even standing outside, one could see the fairly lavish decorations in the hall.

Samuel withdrew his gaze, turned toward the carriage, and inquired.

"Lord Bishop, how do you find this location?"

Simo, sitting in the carriage rubbing his temples, asked with closed eyes.

"Out in the wilderness of Morgan Town, apart from here, can you find a better place?"

Samuel was at a loss for words, awkwardly responding.

"Can’t find one at the moment, Lord Bishop."

Simo snorted coldly, "Then why waste words?"

"Arrange for people to move in, prepare hot water, I need a soak and bath!"

"Sitting in the carriage for so long, my body is covered in filth!"

Samuel hurriedly replied, "Yes, Lord Bishop."

Under Earl Mendes’ watchful eyes.

Simo, rotund in shape, slowly exited the carriage.

With a round face, a round body, a round head...

If not for the limbs.

Earl Mendes felt this so-called Bishop Simo was no different from a ball!

Simo seemed to sense Earl Mendes’ gaze.

His eyelids lifted, looking at Earl Mendes.

Upon seeing Earl Mendes quickly lower his head, not daring to meet his eyes at all.

Simo’s eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

"A mere sycophant trying to pass as a lord?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Hmph!"

With Samuel’s support, Simo entered the three-story building in front.

Behind them, a group of Church Guards followed closely.

Leaving behind a few other guards, to lead the carriage and horses toward the courtyard and stables behind the building.
