November 9, 588, Elon Calendar.

Before we knew it, the "ownless" state of Kiger Town has lasted for more than a week.

Since Viscount Tlanca was assassinated, the basic order in Kige town has not collapsed because of this, but an inexplicably depressing atmosphere has made the civilians in the town understand: everything is just the tranquility before the storm.

The weather is getting colder and many shops have stopped operating. In the cold wind, pedestrians who are coming and going in their cloaks as much as possible and move forward. When passing by the square in the center of the town, they can vaguely see the notice about "treason".

The town that lost the lord had no patrol team, and replaced it with some sneaky foreigners. But the people in the town knew the intentions of these guys but were helpless... In such a season, it was no longer realistic to migrate elsewhere. The only thing they could do was to close the door tightly and pray in front of the warm fireplace that the war would end soon.

A similar scene ended one day. At noon on the 9th, the sound of horse hooves from afar finally alarmed the quiet town.

A cavalry team from the western territory rushed out of the forest with a rumbling number of people, with about a hundred people. The leader of the knight was dressed in luxurious armor and the family emblem on his chest was a double-headed eagle, which means he was Baron Bern from the "Joyce" family.

The cavalry unit with a hundred people was amazing, followed by a long list of baggage teams and entourages, a total of about 230 people. After entering the town, Baron Bern Joyce first looked at the statement of "treason" about Trá in the square, and then stationed the team on the edge of the town without taking the stance of fully controlling the town.

Speaking of which, this is also a "conventional" rule among the nobles. Humans are different from orcs after all. If the "Blood Hammer Clan" were here, I'm afraid that the town of Kige would have been slaughtered over and over again... But the principle pursued by the nobles is "If you can, don't fight, don't fight" - even if you fight, you won't really take ruthless measures. You are basically captives. After the battle is over, you can still take them back...

To put it bluntly, the interests among the nobles are the most important. When you have money, it is of course good to be able to avoid death.

Under such rules, Baron Bourne waited leisurely outside the town. In the afternoon, two lords from the north were also stationed on the periphery. Not only did the battle not start, but at dinner, the three lords even sat at the same table for dinner.

"These aristocrats are so fucking pretentious. They are looking at each other and want to beat each other's faces, but they have to pretend to be gentlemen and chat without pain, tsk tsk."

It was still in the manor left by Ansadin. The atmosphere in the restaurant was obviously much better than the aristocratic dining table with a few kilometers away with a sweet mouth and a sword. Roddy, Soderol, Ruger, Carter and Akasha were all sitting here. Roddy was talking at this time, but after he finished speaking, he added: "Well, Soderol, I naturally didn't say to you. I'm used to being a scout, and I forgot that there is another baron among us, hey..."

He dared to say such words at will. After all, in traditional concepts, "scouts" and "lords" are completely two classes. Not to mention sitting together to eat, even if they are not honored when speaking, they will be scolded.

However, this practice naturally cannot be applied to the present - Roddy and his friends' dining tables, and the other seven or eight dining tables were filled with scouts. These "teams" trained by Roddy are qualified to eat with them. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very lively, and it feels a harmonious feeling when training on weekdays.

"Of course I have no objection. To be honest, such a baron is more interesting than expected." Soderol poured a glass of warm ale and sighed in his words: "When Duke Angma was awarded the title, I was worried about whether I would become like those nobles - or if I could hide the birds and send all the brothers who fought side by side to the corner or something..."

Shaking his head, he looked at the scouts around him who rushed over and said with a smile: "It's great now. We are still together and can charge side by side for the kingdom."

"I have said that your worries are unnecessary." Roddy raised her glass, but drank the warm water that Akasha had poured specifically. "Have you prepared these days?"

"As expected, those temple soldiers almost fought, but they were more than enough to be engineers."

This made Roddy roll his eyes, but he was naturally satisfied. He thought for a while, and reached out to count: "Three lords came today. According to the news, they will be almost all in the next two days. Haha... the charm of Kiger Town is really great."

"These guys are very cautious, and they all stared at the movements of Duke Angma. After hearing the news that Wellington and Titus were going to the Northwest Fortress, they dared to appear blatantly," Soderol thought for a moment and whispered: "But what I'm worried about is... it will take them a long time to start?"

"All nobles are like this, just let them talk slowly," Roddy rubbed the wooden cup in his hand. "As usual, they can't fight in less than half a month."

Turning his head, Roddy asked about other things: "Ruger, is there any news in Jingyu Forest?"

"The whistleblower reported the news, and there was a small accident, but everything was normal, and the team would arrive tomorrow morning."

"That's fine. It's safer to have more people." He turned his eyes to Akasha on the side, and reached out to pat her, "What are you thinking recently? You're always distracted."

"Ah? I...I'm thinking about the content of that book."

The beautiful pastor was startled by Roddy's movements and quickly replied in a low voice - his voice was soft and indescribable shame.

Roddy raised her eyebrows and then smiled, "I really didn't expect you to be interested in these things. I would have known that Natado would come back with a book that was basically similar to you."

Akasha was a little embarrassed and said, "Actually what you said that day seemed to be feasible. Necromancers might be possible-"

Before she could finish her words, the restaurant gate was suddenly pushed open. The scout responsible for conveying the information trotted in with the cold air belonging to early winter. He came to Roddy without stopping all the way, stood attentively, and then reported a piece of news that made everyone feel surprised:
