Danny's sword split the sword in Stukov's hand in two, and when he saw that the blade was about to slash Stukov's face, Danny's sword slashed into the air.

"Huh?" Shield Splitter Danny was taken aback, and he leaned forward to see Stukov disappear under the sword.

"Poof." Suddenly, Shield Splitter Danny felt a chill in his lower back, followed by a great pain.

Bruce and the others saw that at the moment when Shield Splitting Danny cut off Stukov's sword, Stukov immediately let go of the hand holding the sword, his body curled up as agile as a leopard, and drilled through Danny's armpit, and when Danny's sword split into the air, Stukov shot like lightning, and the dagger he held against him pierced into Shield Danny's waist, which is the kidney part of the person, once attacked, the person who is attacked will lose his mobility.

"Ahh Shield Splitter Danny fell under the great pain, the sword in his hand fell, he knelt down on one knee, and Stukov turned behind him, the dagger was aimed at the back of Shield Splitter's neck, and the moment Danny knelt down, the helmet and neck protection were completely exposed.

"Kidneys, damn fellow." Shield Splitter Danny struggled to turn his head to look at Stukov, his face showing a look of deep disgust, but the pain made him grin.

"What do you mean?" Bruce frowned slightly when he heard Danny Splitter's words, as if Danny knew Stukov.

"Phew." Stukov held the dagger and set it on the neck artery of Shield Splitter, and as long as he pulled hard, he could kill Shield Splitter, but at this moment, Bruce stopped Stukov.

"Stop." Bruce shouted at Stukov.

"Yes, my lord." Stukov was stunned, he didn't expect Bruce to stop him, so he stopped what he was doing, but the dagger was still resting on Danny's neck.

"Disarm him and arrest him." Bruce looked at Danny, who was panting, and with a wave of his hand, the spearmen stepped forward to hold Danny with the shield.

The Glinton soldiers, with the cooperation of crossbowmen, wiped out all the pirates in the valley, and the last two pirates turned around and tried to escape. Crossbowmen who occupy a favorable position above the valley shoot the fleeing pirates to the ground after a round of fire.

"None of them ran away." Eve leaped down the valley with a bow and arrows on her back, like an agile antelope.

"Well done, Stukov told the soldiers to collect the spoils." Bruce said to Stukov.

The soldiers of Glynton began to clean up the battlefield, and the Glintons, who were still on the poverty line, were very calculating, and they did not even spare the corpses, although the leather armor on these pirates was of poor quality, but in the eyes of the Glintons, who were still wearing coarse linen, the inferior leather armor was still very good.

"Stop, we're not that far yet." However, Bruce stopped a soldier who tried to pull out the teeth of the corpse, and thrift is a good habit, but there should still be a bottom line.

This time the harvest was quite rich, Bruce collected all kinds of weapons from the pirates, battle axes, iron swords and round shields, six pieces of leather armor, fourteen iron helmets with nose guards, three pairs of leather gloves, ten bows and arrows, and in addition to the ransom paid by Bruce, he also collected 30 silver pesos, 100 copper pesos, sixteen bags of wheat, twenty skewers of salted dried fish, five pieces of fresh venison, and thirty pieces of beef jerky.

Anne looked at the loot that was placed on the carriage and smiled, the capture of this batch of loot meant that Grinton's supplies were much richer, and Anne, as the housekeeper, was of course very happy.

"Escort the loot and prisoners back to Greenton." Bruce mounted his horse and instructed Eve and the others.

The Grintons returned to their territory along the dirt roads with booty and captives, but they were careful because the pirates' lair was built in Randallshire, and Randall's ruler was Connie, the Countess Black Widow. Lois. Yule, she is the sworn enemy of the Locke family, walking in the land of unfriendly lords, they must be extra careful, not to mention such a team escorting supplies.

"Hey, whose team are you?" In the open field, there are few people who travel, the Middle Ages is a vast and sparsely populated era, even if there is a land with lords, except for the villages and towns where they gather, there are hardly many people to see, but the luck of Bruce and the others is not very good, a few shepherds drove the sheep past them, and asked curiously.

"My lord, do you need me to do this?" Eve approached Bruce's side and made a thumb motion under his neck, which made Bruce a little embarrassed.

"No, tell them who I am." Bruce straightened his back on horseback, although Randallshire and the Locke family did not get along, but there was no direct conflict, and if he killed the shepherd here, it would really be a grudge against the Yule family.

Anne held Bruce's flag high, and Bruce's flag fluttered in the wind, which represented that they were a noble army with a master, and the shepherd quickly took off the felt hat on his head to show respect to the owner of the flag, but their eyes were still full of doubts and vigilance.

"I'm Lord Glinton, Bruce. Locke. Bruce kicked his mount with his heel and said to the shepherds.

"Is it a Locke?" The shepherds whispered to Bruce as they heard this, and it was clear that they were aware of the dispute between the Yule family and the Locke family.

"Then your lordship, why did you lead a convoy to Randallshire?" The slightly older of the shepherds asked Bruce respectfully.

"The pirates attacked my fleet, and I personally led the soldiers to wipe out the pirates' lair." Bruce said to the shepherds.

"What?" The shepherds were astonished at Bruce's words, and they looked at the procession, and sure enough, they saw some pirates who had survived the death behind the carriage, strung with flax ropes, and they followed the procession barefoot and dejected.

"Oh, are these pirates?"

"Is that tall man lying in the carriage the pirate leader Danny Split?" When the shepherds saw Danny lying in the carriage, they exclaimed and pointed.

"Alright, let's go!" Bruce frowned, unwilling to continue entanglement with the shepherds, holding the reins of the horse and moving on.

"Honorable Lord, please wait." But Bruce's horse was stopped by the shepherds, and when she saw her lord stopped, Eve immediately took her bow in her hand, and the Glinton soldiers also clenched their weapons and looked at the shepherds.

"Don't get me wrong, my lord, these pirates have been harassing Randall's coastline, sometimes raiding villages, and the whole county hates them. However, the countess sent the magistrate several times to no avail, and the countess offered a bounty for anyone who could exterminate the pirates. The shepherds, noticing the unfriendly gaze of the Glintons, smiled and retreated to the side of the road, and they addressed Bruce.

"Reward?" Bruce listened and looked back at Annie and the others, but he didn't expect that his revenge battle would be able to get an additional reward, so Bruce became interested.

The shepherds told Bruce that Countess Connie had declared that if anyone could exterminate the pirates hiding in her domain, she would reward them with a hundred silver pesos, and that they would be treated as guests.

"Looks like we need to make a trip to the countess's castle." Bruce listened with a faint smile on his face, and he said to Stukov and the others.

"But my lord, the Jule family and the Locke family are not on good terms, not to mention, not to mention the reputation of Lady Connie, I am worried about your safety." Anne said in a slurch.

Countess Connie. Lois. Yule has a well-known name, Connie the Black Widow, not only because she likes to wear a black dress, but also because of her three marriages, one of which was a fourteen-year-old girl, and her father betrothed her to a wealthy elderly squire, but it didn't take long for the squire to die.

At that time, the people were very sympathetic to Connie, and thought that it was also the will of the Lord God, after all, the squire was too old, but soon the sixteen-year-old Connie was married a second time, this time to the powerful Baron, but the following year after the marriage, the Baron died without warning, and Connie inherited not only the castle of the Baron, but also the title of Baron.

At this time, many people began to mumble, thinking that Connie was simply unlucky, as if she was favored by death, her husband did not end well, but her wealth and status rose.

When Connie was twenty-one years old, the Earl of Jule, the ruler of Randallshire, was widowed, and the Earl became infatuated with Connie who served him at court, and in the midst of the people's worried and doubtful eyes, Connie became the mistress of Randall Castle.

After the marriage, the Count and Connie lived happily, but soon the Count was stabbed in the stomach by a wild boar while hunting, and died in three days and three nights of wailing, and the only son of the Earl's heir unfortunately fell to his death from the tower of the castle.

As the earl's widow, Connie became the rightful ruler of Randallshire, and she ruled the rich county with an iron fist ever since. Although some nobles or commoners privately questioned the unexpected death of the Earless's family, those who tried to challenge the Countess soon died, so that no one in Randallshire dared to speak to the Countess.

"Look, that's Randall Castle." Bruce listened to Anne's story about the Countess, and led Eve, Stukov, Edward, and Anne to the castle, which was perched on a steep cliff with its towering arrow tower rising into the sky.

"Let's go meet the countess!" Bruce looked at the castle perched over a steep cliff and kicked his mount in the crotch to his retainers.
