The tomahawk took the militia by storm, and Shield Splitter Danny wielded the tomahawk with one shield in the other, his movements were very agile, an instinctive reaction formed by a long battle, and those malnourished militiamen were no match at all.

"Uh, we're not opponents, these guys are too strong." The emaciated militiaman trembled, especially when he saw one of his companions' shoulders split in half, entrails flowing from his body, and blood dripping in the mud.

"Danny catch it alive." Bruce watched Danny deal with the militia alone, and while Danny was fighting, he felt that this group of well-organized and almost uniformly equipped "bandits" might have been sent by the lord who didn't like him, because he took in the fugitive slaves of Geoffrey the Kin-Lover, only Jeffrey had this motive and reason, but Bruce still wanted to catch a live one.

"Understood, lord." Danny Shield Splitter immediately understood Bruce's thoughts, and he took out one of the militiamen who tried to stab him with a spear, by which time the remaining two militiamen had lost the will to fight.

"I don't want to die in a strange land." The tall militiaman shuddered, and he dropped his spear and fled.

"Ha, he's so smart, I like smart people." Danny said happily as he looked at the fleeing tall militiaman, and at the same time he grabbed the spear that had not escaped from the militia, clamped the spear under his arm, and watched as the desperate militiaman tried to draw his weapon.

"Woohoo." The desperate militia looked at Danny, who was like a tower, his face as white as a dead man, and he clutched the half-old spear in his hand, which was not courage but an instinctive reaction of fear.

"Whoosh~~." Suddenly, an arrow flew past Danny, who turned his head to see Eve holding a bow in his hand, and there was no doubt that the arrow had been fired by Eve.

"How can you~~." Danny was furious, knowing that if Eve let go of her fingers, she would hit a target.

"Vomit~~." Sure enough, the tall militia on the opposite side, who was desperately fleeing, fell to the ground, and his body suddenly pressed the cluster of bushes in front of him.

"He's going to run away, I thought you wanted him?" Eve put down the bow in her hand, pointed at the desperate militia in front of Shield Splitter, and said to Shield Splitter.

"What, damn it." Shield Splitter Danny cursed.

Just as Bruce and the others were leaving with the hapless militiaman, Phoebe, Jeffrey's retainer, shook the leaves off his body, and he glanced at the tall militiaman who had fallen next to him, and an arrow hit him accurately in the back of the head.

"What the hell." Phoebe smacked his mouth, he didn't expect that so many powerful characters suddenly appeared in Glynton, which was probably not a good thing for Jeffrey's territory, and he had to report this test of Glynton to the lord as soon as possible.

Bruce and the others took the captive back to the high walls of Glinton's lord's house and put the captive in the warehouse, which at this time did not have a prison, so he could only temporarily imprison the captured militiaman in an idle warehouse.

"Squeak." Bruce pushed open the door to the warehouse, and he walked out, squinting his eyes and looking up at the sky, where a ray of sunlight was shining through the dark clouds.

"It's really unlucky, I just solved James's, and now I have to deal with relatives and beasts." Stukov then walked out, they had just interrogated the hapless militiaman, it was easy to get information from the already frightened militiaman, but as a low-level militiaman, he didn't know much, and Jeffrey sent them to take revenge on Bruce's neighbor, because Jeffrey was a nobleman who would never tolerate others challenging his authority.

"Are you scared?" Bruce turned to look at Stukov and said to the one-eyed smuggling captain.

"I'm afraid, I'm worried about you, provoking too many enemies will unknowingly fall into a trap." Stukov said to Bruce, but after saying that, he didn't dwell on the problem, and even felt that Bruce always provoked things, and he would definitely not be lonely in the future after Grinton.

"It's time for us to prepare for war." Bruce smiled, he wasn't going to sit still.

"That's right, but we don't have supplies, no iron and leather, and if my experience is correct, I'm afraid he'll join forces with other nobles to embargo you if the kin-loving wants to deal with you." Stukov looked at the confident Bruce and reminded him.

"A material embargo?" Bruce blinked in confusion, his knowledge of the world was limited, so he asked rhetorically.

"You don't know? Jeffrey's family is the native power of the Duke of Bemessi, their family has multiplied in this land for hundreds of years, although the fief is not large, but it is spread throughout the territory of the Duchy, and even in other principalities of the empire, if he wants to deal with you, then he will unite with the other nobles of the family, and will not allow any merchant to sell iron and leather to us through their territory. Stukov said to Bruce.

"Can they do it?" Bruce frowned and asked, the word embargo is something that a hegemonic country often does in later generations, and he didn't expect that there would be such a thing in this world.

"Of course, the business guild will not offend Jeffrey's family for you, for the sake of business interests and life." Stukov reached out to lift his one-eye mask and rubbed his eyes, which were only hollow.

"Then it's time for us to hurry up and store iron and leather, and use your ship to get more for us." Bruce looked at Stukov's horrible eyes, which looked like a blunt dagger sticking into his eyes, and picked out his eyeballs in a very unprofessional way.

"I will, but your treasury will deplete faster." Stukov put down his blindfold and looked at Bruce with one eye.

"The money will be earned, but if we are unprepared, I will have nothing without this land." Bruce crossed his waist and turned his gaze back to his territory.

At this time, Phoebe was also standing in the lord's hall, Jeffrey was sitting on the lord's throne and watching him, the hall was very silent, and the servants stood against the wall and did not dare to breathe.

"You're saying Glynton's people aren't easy to mess with?" Jeffrey asked.

"My lord, I must tell you the truth, there are mercenaries, elite archers and even knights in their territory." Phoebe swallowed and foamed, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and just as he returned to the territory and walked into the castle, he saw that the empty iron cages on the wooden shelves on both sides of the castle gate had been filled, and several merchants who had spread the riches of Grington in the village had been locked in.

"Please, forgive us?" The merchants stood dirty in the cages, their scrawny arms stretched out, begging for those who passed by, but no one dared to disobey Jeffrey's orders, and the men in the cages would gradually die of hunger and exhaustion, and then the corpses would gradually decompose into skeletons.

"Do you see the new decoration in front of my castle?" Suddenly, Jeffrey said to Phoebe.

"Of course, my lord." Phoebe nodded hurriedly, even the nobles found Jeffrey very scary, and Jeffrey was also very good at using terror to rule.

"It's a pity that it will take about a year for them to turn into skeletons, I like clean skeletons, those carrion or something, tsk, it really smells bad." Jeffrey said to Phoebe.

"Yes, my lord." Phoebe replied mechanically.

"So based on what you've seen, is Glynton powerful?" Jeffrey said to Phoebe.

"As far as I can see, so." Phoebe replied to Jeffrey with her hands behind her back.

"Well, there are only three of these people at most, but I can mobilize about three hundred people." Jeffrey stood up, and he walked over to Phoebe and said to him.

"Yes, but I heard that Baron James led the knights and an army of about three hundred men to attack Glinton, but it ended in failure, and I heard that Baron was ransomed and died of poison." Phoebe said to Jeffrey.

"The message is exact." Listening to Phoebe's words, Jeffrey was slightly surprised, he knew that Bruce was James's younger brother.

"Yes, I recently went to a cousin's family banquet and heard from him that his uncle was a retainer at Locke Manor." Phoebe immediately replied to Jeffrey.

"Hahaha, I suddenly like this Locke kid a little." Jeffrey threw his head back and laughed, he touched his jade pendant and said.

"My lord, what are you going to do?" Phoebe looked at Jeffrey, who was laughing, and asked him.

"I heard that the Duke of Bemessi is a guest at Locke Manor, and I want you to go there and bring a message to the Duke." Jeffrey walked up to Phoebe and put his hand on his shoulder.
