444 The War Begins_1

Like most noble castles, Doran's castle also had a secret entrance.

The refugees gathered outside the main gate, waiting for Earl Meadow's next move after eating their black bread.

However, they ended up waiting until the sun had set.

Not only did Earl Meadow never appear, but even the old man who had entered the castle earlier had not given any news.

When they finally realized they had been deceived, they angrily broke down the castle gates.

By this time, Doran had taken almost everything and everyone that could be taken away, leaving only some cleaning ladies and untrustworthy militiamen behind.

The refugees were dumbfounded, and the body of the old man who had served as the representative and entered the castle was found in a corner.

Fortunately, some people found a food reserve in the castle basement. Although it was a considerable amount, it would not last long for the numerous refugees.
