[Eagle King: I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Baron, thank you for providing us with such a good place to live. 】
"You're welcome, we will all be partners from now on."
[System prompt: Partner, you are just using others as your fighting force...]
I said to the system, you’ve been talking too much nonsense today. Do you want to quarrel?
[System prompt: Always with you.]
I'm so tired of you, I haven't collected anything for a long time, collect it! By the way, recruit all the latest Goddess Empire soldiers for me!
[Uxhall and its three subordinate villages collected a total of 25,000 dinars in gold coins in one month.]
[Yanluo Casino, within one month, collected a total of 25,000 dinars in gold coins.]
[Recruit all 3 subordinate villages. In one month, you will obtain a total of 30 level 3 goddess cavalry archers! 】
(Due to your newly established advanced soldier training camp and defense tower system, the level of recruiting soldiers has been improved, so they are now all level 3.)
[System prompt: After deducting the food and employment expenses of the recent troops, you have a total of 116,000 dinars left.]
[Comment: No, I'm going to burn up. You can take care of yourself and save me some time.]
Without waiting for Baron to comment, the system automatically went offline and went on strike.
However, Russell was very satisfied with the current situation and finally had his own private army. With the development of the town, the soldiers he recruited were also extremely elite.
About a month has passed now, and the truce with the Kingdom of Swadia has officially ended.
"In a pre-emptive strike, I decided to take the initiative to provoke and occupy the enemy's Xiko Village and Duckburg! This is also an agreement between me and the Valkyrie Tianyan, and I will not break my promise."
At this time, the baron was in high spirits and started talking to himself in the giant eagle's habitat.
[System prompt: Please take your time, something big will happen next.]
"What's the big deal? Well..."
But at this moment, the baron suddenly became confused, and the following scene appeared in his mind like a movie:
For some reason, Russell's mind was flooded with experiences from the Vols.
And this story happens to pick up where Ronnel, the queen of gambling, has not finished telling her story.
"Of course, I just want to make this damn money, and I will definitely do it." Walls agreed without hesitation. He needed the money.
"It's like this. There is an accomplice of the robber in the city, and that accomplice is the sheriff of this town.
He saw that we businessmen had made a lot of profits from trade, so he borrowed a sum of money for business.
But like many novices in business, he invested all his money in the most expensive goods, and his caravan was robbed, and he lost everything."
"What a fool!" the baron complained while having a headache.
"Then, did he collude with the robbers?" Walls took over.
"Yes, he just brought those bandits into the city on a large scale and made them do evil.
Sharing the loot with them, but fortunately, there are still some honest souls among these guards, and it was they who let me know the inside story."
"In that case, can't you just accuse him directly to the lord of this city? What else do you need me to do?"
"No, accusations require evidence and witnesses, but evidence can be destroyed and witnesses can be bribed.
Therefore, we need to make a decisive decision, rush into the Sheriff's house immediately, and collect all the evidence, so that we can gain the upper hand."
The baron couldn't help but recall the scene when he was falsely accused of murdering his father, but he also suffered from the lack of evidence.
"Okay, why should I believe you?"
"I can first lure out the ten robbers in the city, and then join the group of upright people we know.
As well as the young men who lost their families because of the bandits, I will let them join you in killing these bandits.
In this way we can find preliminary evidence against the magistrate. How do you feel about doing this? I will give you one hundred dinars when it is done."
Walls didn't think much and answered directly: "Okay, I am willing to join your men."
After leaving Randy's cabin, they saw Owens and others leaning quietly on the roadside. Randy took them to a secluded place in the city.
Randy asked Walls and others to wait on the roadside, and then he left. After a while, a group of young men with excited eyes appeared on the roadside.
It was already dusk at this time, and a patrol team began to conduct security inspections. These should be the people Randy was talking about.
As for Owens and others beside Walls, Walls had already told them the situation, and like those young men, they were full of expectations for this action. By this time, the moon could already be seen.
Suddenly, Randy appeared out of nowhere and said, "Quick, start taking action. I have already lured out those bandits."
Walls turned around and saw a group of people coming here.
Seeing this, Walls drew his sword.
Owens, who was behind Walls, also picked up his weapons, just at that moment!
A patrol took out swords and axes and appeared behind the bandits without anyone noticing.
"Too bad, we were fooled."
The bandit leader saw that he was blocked by a group of murderous people in front and back, and there were houses on both sides.
Since everyone in my group had no way out, they knew they had been fooled.
"Brothers, we have no choice but to fight our way out."
After the bandit leader finished speaking, he pulled out the sword in his hand. His men also felt that something was not good.
They all pulled out their weapons, but their equipment was crude. Except for the bandit leader, all the bandits' weapons were rusty or badly damaged.
This must be the result of this group of robbers usually using their illegally obtained money for enjoyment.
"Come on, let's kill these bastards!" the patrol leader encouraged his men.
Originally, this group of patrols was a group of righteous people. They had long been dissatisfied with these guys who did whatever they wanted in the city. Now they finally found an opportunity to express their resentment.
They brought their own axes and long swords. Nords like to use axes, and long swords are also their common weapons. Therefore, the weapons that often appear in the Nord army are axes and long swords.
At this time, this group of bandits did not have elite equipment and strict discipline, and they were besieged from two sides, so they were quickly defeated. No one on Walls' side was harmed at all.
"Stop, leave one alive." Randy ran forward and said.
This is the last robber. He is already shivering with fear, and the cold night wind blowing on his body makes him look even more desolate.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me." said the last robber.
He had seen with his own eyes that his companions were brutally murdered. He could not believe that his companions who were jumping in front of him an hour ago had turned into cold corpses in the blink of an eye.
A patrol soldier slapped him across the face.
"You bastard, let's see if you dare again!" the soldier cursed.
"What do you mean if you dare to do it in the future? He will die now." Suddenly a soldier continued to say.
"No, no, don't kill me."
"Don't worry, as long as you listen to us, we won't kill you." Randy took this opportunity to start to make him listen to him.
"You said... you want me to do anything, you want me to do anything, as long as you don't kill me." The unlucky robber said tremblingly.
Seeing this, Randy smiled as he saw that something big had happened.
Randy did the next thing, and Walls took his reward and went to the pub to have fun.
This time, Walls came to the best tavern in town.
"Not bad. I slept in such a shabby pub a few days ago, and now I'm in such an expensive place."
"What's wrong, head? Why don't you leave?" Owens asked curiously.
"It's okay, let's go on. I'm still reluctant to spend so much money all of a sudden." Walls' face was plain, but he felt extremely shocked inside.
This is a town close to the ocean, where you can find all kinds of fresh fish. Of course, there are not only delicious fish, but also wine and women.
But in this tavern, fresh fish can be cooked so well that the lord king of this city would ask his attendants to buy it and bring it back for extra meals.
And when the king held a banquet, he would ask the cooks in this tavern to prepare the food for the banquet.
Today, Walls and his men are going to taste the fresh fish here.
"Boss, I don't know what this fish tastes like, but I've known the reputation of the fish here for a long time."
Owens said carelessly that he was a civilian and had no extra money to taste such delicious food.
For commoners, being able to fill their stomachs is already very good. Tasting delicious food is always what the nobles do.
But today, they can also taste delicious food like the nobles, which makes them very excited.
The flow of people in the tavern is very large. No, you can hear a group of noises before you even enter the tavern.
When you enter the tavern, you can see all kinds of characters. Some of them are soldiers on vacation in the city, or bards traveling around.
A businessman and a mercenary are discussing the hiring fee for escorting the businessman's goods.
Several burly mercenaries were drinking and punching each other, and of course there were a few guys hiding in the corner who were incompatible with the noisy environment, drinking quietly.
