Countermeasures
The chapter of the Nobles closed with the beheading of Darren Dorbank and Cole Jordan. Some families came forward and thanked Alex for helping them avenge their grievances caused by the Nobles to them.
Anyway, the matter closed but the citizens were still talking about trials amongst themselves as the number of crimes read out by guards was too many and very heinous.
Also, just when the trials ended, the defeated army of the Merchant Union was escorted to the city's northern gates by Alex's soldiers. The citizens rushed there to see the prisoners of the war at the border.
They were very relieved to hear and see that their borders are safe and their City Lords army had actually won the battle there.
A number of families were relieved to know that their sons who still at the border under the name of Darren Dorbank army surrendered easily and were not stupid to fight against the army of their new Lord.
