Although Bruce agrees to Monica's request to take him away, in order to avoid further trouble, he asks Annie to take care of James instead of Monica.

"Where's Monica?" James asked Anne, who had come to take care of him.

"My lord, let me come in her place." With a cold face, Anne put a glass of water and a piece of hard barley bread in front of James, she was dissatisfied with James, who had been bullying Bruce, and of course it was impossible to make him too comfortable.

"Why? Did something happen to her? James asked worriedly, he was recovering well under Monica's care, but his eyes were still a little blurry, but now he was able to see faces clearly.

"Something? Of course not, Bruce is not like you, he likes to whip and punish people. Anne sneered and said to James, she remembered how powerful he was in Locke Manor.

"It's okay." James lowered his head in embarrassment, he could only hope that the messenger would negotiate terms with Bruce now.

Three days later, Sir Wayne and several horsemen arrived at Glynton with a cart of ransom, by which time Glynton had returned to its former calm, the Mega Man's attack camp was cleared, and the bodies were buried first, because Bruce was afraid that the dead would cause a plague epidemic.

The serfs watched from their own farmhouse as Sir Wayne and the others rode by, but they were not at all alarmed, for they were the victors in the battle, and the children laughed and ran along the sides of Sir Knight's horse until they entered the walls.

"Such a high wall?" Sir Wayne looked at the cement wall and secretly complained in his heart, he didn't expect Bruce to build a high wall in Greenton, and it was no wonder that James, who had no siege experience, failed.

"Dismount, sir." With a dagger pinned to his waist, Stukov slowly led the two spear mercenaries over, and he slanted his one eye at Sir Wayne and said.

"Of course." At this time, the lord of his own family was in the hands of Bruce, and Sir Wayne obediently jumped off his horse, and with a wave of his hand he asked the Locke soldiers to bring the carriage up, and uncovered the coarse linen covering the carriage, revealing some ordinary goods such as olive oil, but in the middle of the ordinary goods was a wooden box.

"Is that all?" Stukov stepped forward to inspect it, and said to Sir Wayne.

"All of them, of course, I'm not going to joke with the baron's life." Sir Wayne said solemnly.

"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll report to the lord."

Stukov nodded in satisfaction and gestured to the spear mercenary beside him, and the two soldiers hurriedly led the carriage away.

"Oh oh oh~~." Suddenly, there was a commotion from the direction of the barracks, and Sir Wayne looked over in wonder, only to see a blindfolded swordsman in the open space of the barracks, holding a heavy training wooden sword in his hand, but surrounded by several soldiers with wooden sticks.

"Up~." The soldiers watching the battle raised their fists and urged loudly, but the soldiers surrounding the swordsman were a little hesitant.

"Just attack it!" The blindfolded swordsman was none other than Edward, who had discovered that blindfolded could cure his sickness since the Battle of Greenton, so he trained with the soldiers in the barracks every day, gradually sharpening his other organs except his eyes.

"Ahh Finally, a soldier mustered up the courage to raise a wooden stick and rushed forward, and the other soldiers followed suit, but Edward was undaunted, the back of his head was like an eye, his right leg stepped forward, his left foot stretched back, the wooden sword in his hand was raised behind his shoulder, blocking the soldier's wooden stick, and then the moment his waist twisted, the wooden sword was jerked out of the shoulder, and it hit the soldier's arm, and the soldier screamed and fell off the wooden stick in his hand.

"Uh, it's shrew." Sir Wayne, who watched in his leisure and boredom, was shocked in his heart, this is a swordsmanship from the southern city-state, and this swordsmanship is by no means something that ordinary people can learn, generally only the prominent families in the southern city-state will let the young people in the clan learn the skills.

"Ah~~." Just when Sir Wayne was shocked, Edward swept away the besieging soldiers like a gust of wind and knocked him down one by one.

"Oooo The soldiers who watched around applauded and cheered, and they no longer mentioned that Edward was a coward, and the battle of Glinton washed away Edward's stain.

"What a stroke of luck!" Sir Wayne smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that Bruce's men were full of talents, not only a huntress with excellent archery, but also Stukov who could hire mercenaries, and even a swordsman from the southern city-states, if he had known about this situation, he would have fought to be expelled by James, and also to prevent James from becoming an enemy of Bruce.

"Your Excellency, please come in." At this time, Stukov came out and said to Sir Wayne.

Walking into the small Lord's House, Sir Wayne saw Bruce sitting at the wooden table, and he looked at Sir Wayne, who had visited Grington for the second time, with a smile on his face.

"Sir Wayne welcomes you, and thank you for the news you brought to Grington last time." Bruce stood up and warmly invited Sir Wayne to sit beside him, and instructed Anne to pour him a drink.

"Thank you, my lord, but even with my tip-off, you don't plan to leave!" Sir Wayne looked at the immature-faced Bruce in front of him with emotion, who could have known that the two students he taught by himself were the victorious of Bruce, who was considered the most unsuitable for battle.

"Haha, but I want to thank you anyway." Bruce smiled, he put his hand on the wooden table, the ransom brought by Sir Wayne enriched Greenton's finances, and he could move on to the construction of the water mill next.

"So, now that I've paid the ransom, can I trouble you to release James according to the agreement?" Sir Wayne stood up and pleaded with Bruce.

"Well, of course." Bruce nodded, he agreed to release James, but he wasn't sure if the decision was wise, after all, James might hold a grudge, but Bruce believed that he would be more prepared next time, and if James dared to invade Grington again, he would kill James even if he was charged with homicide.

Releasing James is a very important thing, Bruce gathered his retainers in front of the lord's house, James was taken out of the warehouse, because he had not seen the sun for a long time, he was a little uncomfortable with his hands to cover it, but at this time he saw Sir Wayne again, he happily hurriedly greeted.

"Sir Wayne, my dear friend, it is a great pleasure to see you." James staggered forward, and Sir Wayne hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm to hold him.

"It's great that you're safe and sound, Lord Baron, now we have to go." Sir Wayne looked at James, who was a little sluggish but physically safe, and let go of his hanging heart.

"James, this is the last time I warn you, and I will never forgive you if you dare to attack us again." Bruce stood in the middle of his retainers, and he looked at his brother who had invaded his territory, and shouted a warning to him.

"Bruce, don't forget my last condition." Returning to Sir Wayne's side, James felt his strength regain as he straightened up and said to Bruce.

"I remember, if you're sincere, then take who you want!" Bruce smacked his mouth, he did agree to the Duke's envoy, but this was not selfish, but he felt that since someone was willing to be nice to Monica, then there was no need for him to break up.

"Okay." James was excited when he heard this, he walked to Bruce with the help of Sir Wayne, and although Monica covered her face with a hood among the retainers, her heart was beating like a deer, and she looked at James who was walking step by step, and couldn't help but take a step to meet him.
