Rovs's party had traveled for a long time before they finally reached the shores of Lake Nagar, which was less than ten miles away from the city of Pulon but had already entered the boundaries of the city.

Everyone in the team looked extremely tired, and the children's faces were full of hunger and anxiety about the future. The adults also seemed very restrained and frightened, and acted cautiously for fear that the bandits, who had been following them since the beginning, would suddenly come out of the roadside.

Not long after leaving their original station, Roves' team was targeted by the group of returning bandits. But instead of attacking immediately, they left a few sentries to follow them all the way.

Edward judged that the bandits did not want to attack and kill them and plunder them immediately, and that the bandits intended to find out where he and the others were going before deciding where they were going. If the bandits think they're going somewhere enough for them to do it again, the bloodthirsty bandits won't let it go.

These bandits are fearless, and they believe that there is any other person or force that can threaten them in this one-third of an acre of land. Moreover, even if there is, it is impossible to really fight them, after all, the bandits are bandits, and it is impossible to have too much oil and water, not to mention that it is obviously very unwise to attack them, so it will cause a situation.

Some small forces can only helplessly let this group of bandits bully, and the leader of the big forces, this group of bandits, also knows the severity, and when they see the army or representative figures of the big forces passing by, they immediately give way, neither blocking nor provoking, and even sending money to curry, so far this group of bandits has not only not been exterminated by the army of England, but also has a faint tendency to grow.

"My lord, those spies have been following us, I'm afraid it's too dangerous to go on like this......"

Edward whispered as he walked up to his lord. His hand clenched the hilt of his sword for a moment, his eyes staring warily around. The cloak on his body was whirring in the wind, and he was ready to draw his sword and fight at any time.

Roves was sweating profusely at this time, panting heavily, and walking all the way down dozens of miles was really a bit unbearable for a person who had not exercised much for a long time, plus his territory had just been wiped out, and he had lost two-thirds of his population, and he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger.

In response to Edward's vigilant reminder, Roves waved his hand impatiently and shouted in a thick voice, "I know how dangerous it is, and you don't need to sue me for this." And it's to deal with this threat, that's why Lao Tzu hires those damn farmers as soldiers! And then I'm going to give you and three other wastes a hundred Deniers every month! ”

As a communication currency between 1000 and 1200 years in the Middle Ages, the Dennel coin is the common currency of some aristocrats in Western Europe, and its 100 Dennel coins are worth about 1300~2320 yuan per month for modern people. But this is in the case of its own value, when in fact in those days of material scarcity, 100 deniers were worth much more than modern money, and sometimes even 10 deniers could buy a human life or a slave.

Edward was accustomed to Roves' rants and complaints, but he subconsciously frowned when he heard him directly rant loudly and insult his fellow knights.

Edward suppressed his dissatisfaction with Roves, and said in as humble a tone as possible: "Your Excellency, we must hurry up, if we can't reach the town before dark, I am afraid that those bandits may lose patience and threaten your Excellency." We've just lost our town, and this generation is still an open plain nearby, and we don't have horses to walk around, but the bandits do, and they can turn around and chase us at any time if they want to. So we have to get out quickly. ”

When Roves heard this, an evil fire suddenly rose in his heart.

"Damn it! Don't mention the horses to me! If you weren't so slow, how could I have lost more than a dozen horses, more than a hundred cattle, more than seventy chickens, and my wheat field and mill! ”

The corners of Edward's mouth twitched, suppressing his anger, but his voice was already a little cold: "If the Lord was willing to lead us to fight the bandits at that time, I, Edward, would be willing to gamble on the reputation of the knight!" Swear to protect your lord's territory and people to the death! However, wasn't it you, my lord, who ordered us to retreat and not resist in the first place, and as a result, the bandits drove straight in? ”

When Roves heard this, his face turned red with anger.

"How dare you talk to me like that! Have you forgotten who fed you and clothed you for more than two years, and hired someone to take care of your damn mount for you?! ”

After saying that, Roves suddenly raised the long whip in his hand, and raised his hand under Edward's stunned gaze!

But then the other three knights noticed something strange here, and when they saw Roves raise his whip and wave it at Edward, they immediately rushed over! After several tugging, Roves was so annoyed that he roared and was pulled aside by the knights.

Edward, on the other hand, had a shocked and bewildered expression on his face as he watched his sworn allegiance to his master being farther and farther away. At this time, Edward couldn't help but think back to why he wanted to be a knight in the first place, he wielded his sword in order to uphold justice and follow those who could bring light and justice to the world.

He definitely did not want a villain like Roves, who was selfish and devoid of reverence and love, to take a noble knightly oath and willingly be his thug.

“…… Big brother, are you alright? ”

A childish voice came from behind him.

Edward looked back and saw that it was the little boy who had been beaten by Roves' men and discarded on the side of the road, and had been picked up by himself and given to the care of his fellow children.

Remember that his name should be ......

"No, I'm fine....Jonah."

Edward crouched down and rubbed Jonah's head with his rough hands. He pulled out a piece of jerky made of unknown meat from his bosom and handed it to Jonah.

"Thank you...."

Jonah's eyes lit up, and as if he was afraid that Edward would regret it, he quickly took it and bit it down. However, he did not forget to thank Edward, after all, Edward had already saved him twice if he counted this piece of jerky.

Edward smiled, and then when he turned his head to look around, he soon stopped laughing.

Because, this team is so defenseless. The dozen or so peasant soldiers didn't know how to fight at all, and their ranks twisted and twisted, as leisurely as a walk in the fields. The moment they encountered the battle, they were probably killed by the enemy's crossbowmen before they could even figure out what was going on.

And the leader of this team, the nobles, is that virtue......

"Hey...... The future is full of disasters and difficulties. Edward lamented heartily.

Soon, the team left the lake and continued towards the city of Pullen.

…………………………

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, in a seven-meter-high watchtower in the city of Pullen, a sentry who was on a surveillance mission suddenly noticed a group of black dots at the end of the horizon heading in the direction of Pullen.

This was neither the time for the Puron City Guards to return from their hunts, nor the time for the Forest Troops to deliver raw materials to the town. And looking from the watchtower, the other party did not carry any flags.

Since a month ago, the city of Pulen has implemented a flag return system, no matter entering and leaving the city gate, you need to bring a Glory Rose Flag, swing the flag from side to side three hundred and sixty degrees under the city gate, and then wave it forward. This means that the mission begins or ends, and we are going out of the city or back to the city.

In addition, the captain of each team must report the number of people leaving the city before leaving the city, and the guards in charge of defending the city will check the points when they return. In fact, it was necessary to register the personnel list if it could, but considering the actual conditions, it would be good to count the number of people.

After all, the original purpose of Intertek is to train the citizens of Pulun to be aware of prevention and confidentiality, considering the possibility of future intelligence leaks, it is best to prepare for leaks in advance before there is a crisis, which can be regarded as Tianxiang's arrangements and deployments for future challenges in advance.

The group soon reached the bottom of the gates, and by this time the sentinels had already informed their ruler and tribune. Han Tianxiang was a little surprised when he learned that an outsider had led a team of dozens of people to the city gate, but he reacted quickly.

Han Tianxiang ordered people to immediately go to the forest to find the hunting team that had entered the mountain, and took the remaining twenty-five city guards stationed in the town with Ni and rushed to the city gate.

In front of the city gates.

Edward and Roves were anxiously waiting outside the door, they hadn't eaten for almost a day, plus they were tired from running all the way, and they were followed by a few "tails" that oppressed their nerves. After more than a day, everyone in the whole team was in a state of collapse at any time, both physically and mentally.

At this moment, Han Tianxiang appeared above the city gate with his soldiers.

When dozens of soldiers with shields and spears suddenly appeared on the city walls, the hearts of Edward and Roves and others throbbed.

Edward's nerves that have been in a tense state are even more imminent, but fortunately he did not immediately draw his sword and shout "meet the enemy", the fear of the unknown failed to defeat the survival of **, before the enemy has real action, Edward has always put his hand in the position where it is easiest to draw the sword.

"—Raise your shield! Spears! Ba shouted with a wave of his hand behind him.

Twenty-five city defenders raised their shields at the same time and slammed them down on the city walls, using their shields to collide with each other to form an impenetrable barrier, and dozens of cold iron spears aimed at the people below from top to bottom.

"Puron King's City—Rose of Glory!!" The soldiers roared loudly and loudly, resounding through the clear sky like a dragon and a tiger, shocking everyone's eardrums faintly painful.

More than three months of hard training still seemed to be very effective, at least Han Tianxiang was quite satisfied with the performance of the team he had pulled up single-handedly. Of course, now it can only be regarded as a prototype, and if you want to really take on the title of "protector" of the army and even the entire Pulun City, En...... At the very least, we need to increase the number of people to more than 500.

With the current economic strength and food conditions of Pulun City, it is a bit difficult to maintain a team of 500 people, but it is still barely able to sustain it. Of course, the premise is that there must be a sufficient population.

The biggest problem in the city of Pulun now is not the lack of food and materials, but the more fatal ...... Lack of population. But then again, this radius of dozens of miles is like a death zone, and it is difficult to meet a person who walks for dozens of miles, and goes up there to find a population to fill it?

Therefore, when the sentry reported that a team of outsiders had appeared, the first thought that came to Han Tianxiang's mind at that time was "Rob!" "And if you can grab as much as you can, even if you put a knife on their necks, you have to force them to multiply in this land....

However, when Han Tianxiang looked down and found that this army not only had obvious armed members, but even four knights wearing chain mail with long swords, shields, and spears, he subconsciously thought that the fleeing lord had returned with his men and horses.

However, after asking Ni, I found that this was not the case, the person who came seemed to be the lord of another town dozens of miles away, and judging from Ni's attitude and introduction, the person who came should be a friend of the lord of this town before, and the two had a good relationship, the whole pair of weasels.

"Upstairs! Are you blind?! Don't you know who I am?! Open the door for me, or I'll cut off all your heads!! ”

Rovs's anger was all on the heads of the Pullon people at this time, and he didn't know what had happened here, but even if he did, he probably wouldn't care.
