In order to collect people's money and eliminate disasters, Viscount Merrion asked Balian to lead at least thirty soldiers to join the team he sent to recover Maple Leaf Manor at least one month before the summer harvest. This way, the summer harvest would not be delayed, and he could still be in the palace.
The inspector repaired the manor before coming down for inspection.
Calculating from now on, Balian only has more than three months left. Balian needs to train an army that can not only fight but also win tough battles in these three months. The time is still quite tight.
But there are people like Eomer, Bess, Tur, Balin, and Barret who are experienced in actual combat and can lead troops, and there are thirty militiamen in Fort Noland who have fought in two battles.
, Balian is still confident that he can train a team that can fight.
When Viscount Merrion gave Balian so many benefits, he also told Balian that since he had promised himself, if he could not train an elite army by then and could not regain Maple Leaf Manor, he would definitely do it before the palace punished him.
Punish Balian first. Then Balian will not only face punishment, but Nolandenburg will also face the serious punishment of having his tax-free qualification revoked for ten years. By then, Balian will be waiting to be taxed heavily by him.
That night at the dinner at the Sheriff's Mansion, Balian, as a great hero, received special attention from the banquet attendees and drank a lot of wine. However, this time Eomer helped to hold back the wine and shared a lot of the pressure.
Leon was not drunk, otherwise being drunk frequently would have affected his thinking and handling of things.
The next morning, Balian took Eomer, Tur and a few guards to the farm outside the city to select fifty healthy young serfs, and bribed two serfs with one hundred dinars.
After working with a farm steward, he successfully bought thirty young female serfs from them at a price of thirty dinars each, for a total of nine hundred dinars.
The reason for introducing young women is not because Lord Balian has any obscene thoughts. It is mainly due to two considerations. First, the male-to-female ratio in Nolandenburg is seriously imbalanced. There are only more than 20 young women now, and many of them are
For those with families, this time Balian obtained fifty young male serfs from Viscount Merry, and the ratio of men to women became even more unbalanced.
At present, a group of young women must be introduced, otherwise there will be chaos in the territory. The second consideration is that Balian is preparing to start families for the soldiers who have made meritorious services in these two battles and the craftsmen in the territory.
They became more loyal to themselves, and after being reconnected with family, they took root in Norlandenburg and truly built Norandenburg as their home.
These eighty serfs were gathered in a farm outside the city, and were guarded by Tour and the mercenaries of the Free Company. Balian and Eomer led others to pull the carriage to the warehouse and weapons depot in the city, and received the goods.
The items allocated to him by Viscount Merry. With the documents signed by Viscount Merry, plus the great contribution he had just made to the county and his reputation, Balian successfully received these supplies and armor, but the weapons depot in Amundine City
The interior was really shabby, so Balian didn't think about trying to break into the corner. He thought that he would go back and instruct his blacksmith to build the weapon he wanted.
After loading the things into the car, Balian and Eomer asked the soldiers to wait at the farm outside the city. He and Eomer went to say goodbye to the governor, Viscount Merry. Unfortunately, Viscount Merry went out for inspection in the morning, and Balian
Unfortunately, they didn't see anyone. It was noon, so they found a tavern in the city of Amundine to have something to eat. They found a seat with a window facing the street, sat down, and ate.
As they were eating, they heard a noisy sound outside. Like most people eating in the tavern, Bellian and the others raised their heads and looked at the street outside. It turned out that they were a group of city gangsters having a fight with a family of four.
Mouth tearing.
There were eleven or two ruffians, armed with wooden sticks and axes, and they all looked fierce. As for the family here, the father seemed to be in his thirties, and he was quite strong. He and his son, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, were together.
, one person held a stick as high as eyebrows to protect the mother and daughter behind him. The mother and daughter were in panic at this time. The 13 or 14-year-old daughter was so frightened that she lay in her mother's arms and cried non-stop. The little girl couldn't stop crying.
She has beautiful blond hair and fair skin. Although she is very young, she can be seen as a little beauty.
The leader of the gangster looked angry and shouted at the father of the family: "Gamlin, I advise you to be wiser! Your wife lent me a lot of money to treat your injuries, and I didn't let your whole family become
It would be great if the serfs came to pay off the debt! Besides, your daughter was taken over by the new deputy sheriff, Sir Sack.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I've taken a fancy to it. As long as you hand over this little girl, not only will you not have to pay back the money you owe me, but you will also be able to live a good life with the knight in the future. Why are you so confused?"
"Big dog Oak, Vera just borrowed five dinars from you. You black-hearted dog, you actually increased the amount tenfold in more than a week. You asked us to pay back fifty dinars! You are just trying to trick my daughter. I told you
Don't even think about it!" The middle-aged man named Gamlin stared at the ruffian leader named Oak, his eyes burning with anger.
"If you dare to touch my sister, I will chop off your dog's head!" Although Gamlin's son is young, he is not cowardly at all when it comes to the safety of his family.
The big dog Oak looked at the stubborn father and son, sneered, and said to his subordinates: "Then we brothers don't have to be polite! Kill the father and son, give the woman to the brothers to play with, and give the girl to the
Sir Sack!"
After saying that, the gang of gangsters swarmed up and started fighting with the father and son. Gamlin was good at martial arts. He was besieged by six or seven gangsters. Not only did he not lose, he was able to defeat two gangsters. Although his son was young, his kung fu was still good.
Okay, as long as there are gangsters who dare to approach him, his mother, and his sister, he can drive them away with a stick.
But the gangsters had the advantage in numbers after all, and Gamlin and his son had to protect the mother and daughter. Soon the family was squeezed into a corner, and the wooden stick in the boy's hand was also shot down during the fight.
Now Gamlin is the only one to fight against more than a dozen gangsters. At this time, he also has four or five scars on his body. The people watching all feel sorry for the fate of this family, but at this time, no one dares to come out without opening their eyes.
Stop the gangsters from committing crimes in the streets.
"You gangsters are really lawless! Stop it!" Just when everyone thought the family was about to die, they heard an angry shout and two knights in chainmail came to the street. They were wearing burqas.
The pattern is a two-headed eagle with its wings spread out. The eagle's claws hold a sword and a book respectively. No one knows which noble family's coat of arms this is.
The ruffian leader known as "Big Dog Oak" saw the two knights approaching and asked his men to stop, but continued to surround the Gamlin family. He came over and saluted, "Dear Sir, we are preparing for the immediate victory."
Sir Sack, the deputy sheriff of the county, I wonder if you two have any instructions?"
"Standing in front of you are the lords of Fort Norland and the surrounding lands, the knights of the court of the Duchy of Brick, and the inspector of the direct county, Sir Balian. Sir Balian and I are eating next to each other. How do you bully people and hurt good people?
You guys, we have watched the whole process, and I advise you to stop, or else don't blame us for punishing you for the Lord Sheriff!" Eomer introduced Balian solemnly, hoping to scare these gangsters.
When the big dog Oak heard the Lord of Fort Norland, Sir Balian, he immediately thought of the heads of Lal and dozens of his men in the city square yesterday, as well as the more than forty robbers tied with ropes, and his expression changed drastically.
, and quickly said respectfully: "It turns out to be Lord Balian, who wiped out the Blood Wolf gang. I'm really blind. I disturbed Lord Balian's meal. Damn it, damn it. I'll take my men and leave now."
With that, Big Dog Oak left with his gang of ruffians.
The people watching around heard the bard tell many stories about knights punishing evil, promoting good, and saving the weak, but they rarely see it in reality. Today, they can actually see with their own eyes the chivalrous act of two young knights who rescued a family. They
I was so excited that I didn’t know who took the lead in applauding, and the onlookers at the scene also applauded.
Someone applauded and said to the people around him: "So this is Sir Balian. He is so young. But don't look at his youth. Not only is he strong in martial arts, he can also lead troops to fight. Take his personal martial arts as an example, he can fight alone.
Entering the bandit's lair, killing the bandit's head with his own hands, and retrieving the body of his teacher's Dawn Sword, he also easily defeated Sir Yellen who provoked him; as for leading the troops to fight, I won't tell you, but you also know that those who were captured in the square in the city yesterday
The greenwood bandits, as well as the dozens of bandit heads hanging on the city head today, were all captured by Sir Balian and his soldiers from Fort Norland, who defeated the Blood Wolf Bandit." In addition, many people shouted loudly.
Praise: "Well done! Lord Balian!"
The two of them were a little embarrassed, but they still waved their hands to signal everyone. Then Balian quickly came to the family. Gamlin saw Balian and Eomer and knelt on the ground to thank Balian.
Lord Lyon, thank you for your kindness, our family will never forget your great kindness."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Balian helped him up and said, "Gamlin, get up quickly. This is not the place to talk. It's definitely not safe for your family to stay in Amundine right now. Follow me out of the city and hide in my territory for a few days."
, wait until you recover from your injury before making other plans."
When Gamlin heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then said with tears of gratitude: "Lord Balian, you saved us just now, which is already a great kindness. If you take us in again, the new deputy sheriff will
Dissatisfied with you."
Balian patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, since I'm willing to take you in, I'm not afraid of some bitch-raised Sir Sark. Come with me. If you delay for a while, I'll be stopped by the security team.
It's not easy to take you away." Gamjelin knew that he couldn't stay in the city for long, so he took his family and left the city with Balian and Eomer.
Let’s not talk about Balian’s business for the moment. After the big dog Oak left with his men, he hurried to Sir Sack’s mansion and reported the situation to him, “Sir Sack, it’s not that the villain is incompetent, but that Balian
Sir is so hateful. He is very skilled in martial arts and has soldiers. I dare not offend him, so I can only let the Gamlin family go for the time being." The big dog Orm said to Sir Sack aggrievedly.
Sir Sac was already upset because of the destruction of the Blood Wolf gang, and when he heard that Balian had taken away the beautiful girl he had fallen in love with, he couldn't help but feel angry and evil in his heart. He grabbed the table
The wine glass that was served was still on the ground, and he cursed angrily: "You little bastard from the Tucker family, I'm going to skin you alive sooner or later!"
Big Dog Oak had never seen Sir Sack look so angry. He was too frightened to make any noise. You must know that behind this newly appointed deputy sheriff, there could be a powerful baron in the principality who offended him.
Not to mention the big shot behind him, as long as he has the power to control the public security in the city, he can find any crime and lock himself in that cold, wet, dirty, smelly and dark dungeon. Then he will be called Tian Tianying.
, causing the earth to become inoperable.
After Sir Sack got angry, he quickly calmed down. He knew that not only could he not do anything to Balian now, he also had to keep his tail between his legs and be honest for a while. After interrogating the bandits of the Blood Wolf Gang, he knew that Balian should do something to him.
Baron Raul instructs him to find bandits to attack Fort Noland. Balian has not made it clear yet. Either he is timid and dare not speak out, or he is waiting for an opportunity to retaliate and is ready to deal with them. However, in these two cases,
The former seems impossible, because judging from the several things that made Balian famous and accomplished achievements, he is not a timid person.
After thinking calmly, Sir Sack told the big dog Oak to keep an eye on the city first, and when the Gamlin family was alone again, he would catch the Gamlin family and stop causing so many troubles, and then let him go out.
Immediately afterwards, Sir Sack wrote a secret letter, briefly explaining the situation, and then handed it to his attendant, asking him to rush to Lidaburg and hand it over to Baron Raul.
Balion didn't know what happened in the city. He and Eomer had just heard what happened to the Gamlin family and couldn't help but get angry. Eomer even threatened to go to the city and kill Ser Sark now.
He broke it into pieces and fed it to the dog, but was stopped by Balian. It turned out that Gamlin was a captain of the Amondin Security Team. Although he was not from a wealthy family, his life was relatively decent, but all this was happening under the circumstances.
Things were different after Sir Sack arrived.
Sir Sack came to work for the first time. Although Gamlin and his subordinates felt that this boss had a strange temper, they did not feel anything was abnormal. Until one day, Gamlin took his son and daughter out to buy things.
At that time, I met Sir Sack on the street. When this guy saw Gamlin's daughter Lucy, his eyes almost burst out with fire, scaring the little girl so much that she hid behind her brother. Although Gamlin was a little angry,
But after all, he was his boss, and he did not do anything excessive in public. Gamlin left with his son and daughter.
Not a week has passed since this incident. Gamlin injured his left leg while arresting some thieves. His wife, Ms. Vera, went to the pharmacist in the city to prepare some trauma medicine. As a result, it usually only cost one dinar.
Medicine, but the pharmacist quoted a price of five dinars. Ms. Vera did not bring enough money, and she was so angry that she had a few words with the medicine man. At this time, the big dog Oak passed by.
The young leader of the local security team was also very familiar with her and had met Ms. Vera several times. When he saw Ms. Vera arguing with the doctor, he came over. After understanding the situation, he directly paid for Ms. Vera.
