Chapter 586 Winter, Lion, Northon!

As news of the slave riots outside spread, Zheng Yu and Peng Wu instantly became the focus of the matter.

Even the higher-ups in the Frozen City knew about this.

"It's just a few slaves who died. Do you still want to hold my guards accountable for a few slaves?"

In the main city.

A man with a proud look asked.

Because this meeting was held because of this slavery incident.

"How many? At present, at least close to a hundred people have died!"

A bearded man sitting opposite the arrogant man retorted directly.

"So what? It's just slavery, what else can be done about it?" The man didn't care. "Don't say a hundred, even if a thousand die, what will happen?"

A life of slavery is indeed not a life.

As the third son of the head of the Lion family, George Cavendish naturally didn't think that a few slaves could cause any waves, and he really didn't understand why this matter could be discussed alone.

"You making such a fuss will give me the illusion that you are targeting me."

George Cavendish glanced at the people in the entire auditorium. Those who could sit here were members of the Cavendish family and the backbone of the Lion.

The eldest son, William Cavendish, sat in the chair of the synagogue where he convened the meeting.

The second son, Deborah Cavendish, is the bearded man who just refuted George.

The fourth son, Frederick Cavendish, was sitting in the corner of the auditorium, his face pale. It seemed that he had another battle with a handsome slave last night and had not recovered yet.

The fifth girl, Anne Cavendish, did not take her seat, but stood at the door of the auditorium, as if watching the fun, smiling and not interfering or participating.

But everyone knows that Anne, the lion's daughter who has just turned 18, is the one who is favored by the lion the most.

The rest are the senior guards of this frozen city.

Also an important bodyguard of the Lion and his children.

"George."

Seeing that George Cavendish wanted to take the initiative to provoke conflicts, William, as the eldest brother, was also the initiator of this meeting.

William Cavendish spoke up, suppressing George who wanted to say something else.

"It doesn't matter how many slaves die."

"This is not the main reason why I asked you to come here this time."

"But the question is...if the slaves are all dead, who will build the city wall, you or me? Winter is coming soon, and the gaps in the city wall have not been repaired yet. If the slaves cause trouble again... You know the result."

Speaking of "winter", George rarely continued to argue.

"Oh, I see."

George nodded and said: "I have asked Northam to solve it."

In fact, before the meeting, George already knew the cause and course of the matter.

It's just because of "fairness".

Two of these new slaves found easier and less dangerous jobs that had been reserved for the old slaves.

Therefore, they are somewhat mentally unbalanced.

The solution is also very simple.

Just kill the two new slaves. Killing chickens to scare monkeys is the most effective way. After all, slaves have the character of being soft and afraid of the tough.

Once they find out that the two newcomers who "treacherously" entered the factory are dead, they will continue to work honestly.

"Um."

William nodded.

Then he continued: "There is one more important thing."

"The Lion...may not have much time left."

The lion is their father.

Original name, Compton Cavendish.

Later, he was named the Lion by the Iron Emperor. Now, both his children and the guards of the frozen city call Compton the Lion.

This is an honorific.

It is also the only evidence to prove the glory of the Cavendish family.

However, now that he was sent to the Frozen City by the Iron Emperor to serve as a minister of the vassal, he seemed to have more than before, but in fact he was "demoted".

A frozen city, a city that will be swallowed up by winter sooner or later.

The reason why he is still alive today is because the lion's once powerful strength made Ling Dong afraid.

But now, the Lion has long since aged, and the Cavendish family has been left in this idle place. There has long been no fresh blood, and their strength has gradually declined.

"..."

After hearing William's words, everyone fell silent.

The Lions aren't just old.

"If...I mean if, the lion is gone, how long can we withstand the winter?" asked the second son Deborah.

William replied: "One year."

"Once the person in the cold winter senses that the lion's aura has disappeared, he will definitely come back. We will hide this information for a year at most."

"Then where do we go from here?"

asked the fifth daughter Anne standing at the door.

"..."

William was silent.

Where to go?

It's really hard to decide.

Especially... it was difficult to say it in this situation, because he knew that although the brothers were of the same blood, they all had their own thoughts.

"Don't think about other things first. What we have to do now is try to keep the lion alive as long as possible."

William looked past Anne's questions.

George said disdainfully: "How to extend it? Is it based on imagination?"

William was not angry because of George's cynicism, but calmly explained: "I have contacted the Iron Emperor."

George frowned, "Iron Emperor?"

"He has already exiled our father here. He doesn't send guards every year, but only a group of low-quality slaves. It's obvious that he wants us to die. Why are you begging him?"

Before William could explain, Anne behind the door said directly: "The Iron Emperor is just afraid of the lion, but he doesn't want him to die."

"Because the lion is still useful."

"Especially a... brother who has completely lost his fighting spirit, but can still suppress the one in the winter."

Anne answered George's question incisively.

That is to say, the Iron Emperor will help, at least the Frozen City can be saved, and the city walls protect not only the Frozen City, but also all the cities behind the Frozen City.

But this also means...

They will be trapped in this shitty place forever.

At this time, the five descendants of the Cavendish family had different expressions, and they were all thinking about what to do next.

"Next month, the Iron Emperor will send someone to deliver the items of the extended lion. This is very important."

William said seriously.

An item that can extend the life of a sub-god-level strongman is of course important, but more importantly... the person who is responsible for escorting this item.

And... the attitude of the Iron Emperor brought by this person will determine where their lion will go in the future.

William then said to the fifth daughter, Annie: "You have time to go to the lion more often and calm his emotions, but remember... don't let him know that the Iron Emperor's personal envoy has arrived."

Annie smiled and responded: "Brother, don't worry, I understand."

...

Just in the Lion City, several "very filial" male lion heirs were studying how to extend the life of their fathers to fulfill the purpose of extending their lives.

Zheng Yu met the key person who triggered this fuse.

A formal guard.

Northen.

Zheng Yu looked at the goateed guard with a little anger on his face, and smiled and said to Peng Wu beside him: "Wake up, we are going to prepare to die."

Peng Wu stretched lazily from the recliner.

This sentence was equivalent to telling Peng Wu, "Wake up, change a place to sleep."

Even though this Norson looked like he had at least the strength of awakening, Peng Wu used to stay away from such professionals.

Now...

What a joke, Zheng Yu was by his side, and he was afraid of a small guard?
