Chapter 6 Interception and Killing of Tax Collectors

Alberon was a Kingdom Baron who swore allegiance directly to the great Edson Commonwealth Kings. As a result, Alberon is a small overlord in the western part of the Federation, with eight villages on the land, three of which are close to the Wasteland Forest. Both are knights' manors, and their direct domains can reach up to six villages.

The population of the three villages near the heath forest is relatively small, but there are more than 400 people. There are more than 800 people in the village where the knight is located, and there are more than 200 households and 1,000 people in the direct territory.

The barony of Alberon was able to collect a staggering 7 gold in taxes each month.

Jin Fugui is another name for gold coins, which are engraved with nobles on horses and the flag of the kingdom on the other.

One gold is worth a hundred silver moons, and one silver moon is worth a hundred bronze lions.

Chen Feng didn't know the value of the currency, but one silver coin could recruit a standard infantryman, while a recruit and militia was only worth ten bronze lions. Now Chen Feng understood that the nobles were really rich.

Now Chen Feng has the value of more than eighty silver coins in his hands, and he can recruit eighty soldiers, but relying on the system, in addition to being able to build equipment, these gold coins are left to buy food.

That night, slaughtering pigs and sheep, Chen Feng and hundreds of people started to lie in this newly conquered village. Chen Feng is a new cultural person in the 21st century, and he knows that drinking alcohol is prone to accidents, so he is full of wine and meat, and all the drinks are packed into trucks, and no one is allowed to try them in the wild. The heads of the robbers who had just raised the bar with Chen Feng had just been buried.

Night.

Chen Feng patrolled the real village alone. Every quarter of an hour, a team of robbers came out of the dark corner, which was a night patrol arranged by Chen Feng. Until early in the morning, a total of four groups of robbers came out to keep vigil.

No one dared to refuse Chen Feng's order, not only was Chen Feng's personal level the highest in the whole army, but at the same time, there were more than a dozen robbers who had nothing to do at the same time, and later they were upgraded to bandits, as well as thirty-four bandits who were 100% loyal as given by the system. With these fifty powerful beings, it was not difficult for Chen Feng to discipline the loose team of five hundred people.

Following.

Chen Feng ordered people to take the carriage in the direction of the bandits' den, and Chen Feng took the remaining less than 400 people to forget about a village, and today was the last day to collect taxes. If Chen Feng can't get them before the tax collectors leave, then Chen Feng won't have any income for the next month.

With yesterday's gains, today's robbers are in high spirits. Scrambling towards the next village, Chen Feng could barely catch up with them on his horse.

After running for more than an hour, Chen Feng smoothly included the tax revenue of the second village. Seeing that the third village block couldn't catch up, Chen Feng looked at the map in front of him. Asked. "What is this place? Why is there a delay? ”

The old village chief on the side replied resignedly. "This is a ruin, the former Baronial Castle. About three hundred years ago, it went through a war and is now abandoned. ”

"Is this the only way for the tax collectors to return to the Baron's Castle?" Chen Feng thought for a while, looked at the robbers around him and asked.

Since it is a site hundreds of years ago, there must be a lot of people who know about it, and there are only a few roads in ancient times, Chen Feng prevented the village chief from framing him, and felt that it was more appropriate to ask the bandits who would accompany him to commit the robbery.

Chen Feng, who received an affirmative answer, led the active robbers towards the ruins of Fort Baron, three kilometers away.

It was more than half an hour after the crowd arrived at the ruins of the Baron's Castle that the tax collectors came down the hillside belatedly. I only heard a few shouts, "Quick, I feel, I'm resting in the front pavilion, I'm dying of heat." ”

At the head was a soldier commander with a steel knife and a helmet.

Chen Feng watched from afar, thinking in his heart how to rely on the lowest price to take down the group of people in front of him.

This pavilion is not big, only about fifty square meters, and it is enough to be able to sit for about thirty people. Chen Feng's personal guards and bandits were sitting in the pavilion at this time, scattering in all directions, and the three or three of them looked like mercenaries.

The chief soldier of the tax collection team walked up, drove the crowd away, and said. "Spread out, this is the baron's domain, it has been requisitioned here, you all hurry up."

This soldier was also really ambitious, looking at the thirty or so mercenaries with one-handed knives and leather shields in their hands, he dared to walk up alone. Looking at his lazy appearance, Chen Feng raised the weapon in his hand and gently wiped it around his neck.

Then, the robbers hidden in the forest rushed out with all kinds of weapons, and several soldiers cried at the sight of the filthy fork.

"Betrayal... Rebellion, rebellion. ”

"Enemy attack!! Enemy Attack!! ”

The soldier blew his horn and wandered through the valley, but the distance of the Baron's castle was enough for him to blow it for three days and three nights.

Chen Feng pointed at the soldier and said. "Shoot!"

Behind him, a bandit with a short bow on his back took off the sad hunting bow, set up an arrow, and ......

"Flutter! Bang!! ”

A crooked arrow stuck in the chest of the trumpet-blowing soldier, and he fell to the ground, clutching his chest and looking at Chen Feng in disbelief. The last question that comes to mind: how can there still be archers?

There are thirty robber archers under Chen Feng, except for ten who defend at home, the remaining twenty are all with him, which is the hole card that Chen Feng is most proud of. Even in the first two encirclement and suppression of the village, Chen Feng was reluctant to release it for use, after all, the arrows on their bodies were really too expensive.

Whether it is the material of the arrow body, the creation of the arrow, or even the material of the arrow tail, it is not something that Chen Feng can enjoy now. Chen Feng consulted with the craftsmen of the blacksmith shop, if he wanted to make such a similar bow and arrow, he couldn't make three or five dollars every day, and the most important thing was that the craftsmen who could build weapons were blocked in the baron's castle, and it was impossible to be outside, this was a war resource, and every nobleman cherished it.

Chen Feng thought about it, and now he can only build leather armor, which is considered a god costume in the bandit world. However, the lowest light infantry in the army is a wallet, and if the heavy infantry at the advanced point passes on plate armor, the knight still wears chain mail in the plate armor. Chen Feng will never get this kind of craftsmanship in his life.

"Damn white-haired old man, why did you let me be the leader of the bandits? Can't you give me a castle and make me emperor? Damn, how do I speak like Europeans and Americans, this damn way of language. ”

Chen Feng watched more than a dozen soldiers being buried by Chen Feng's army of robbers, and his nervous heart was completely relaxed.
