"Hello knight sir!"

"Good day, Lord Jeffrey!"

The knights and knights shouted in unison.

At first, the young men thought that the adult had come out of the tent to watch the fight, but when they saw his face, the atmosphere in the makeshift camp fell silent.

The red triangular flag stopped in mid-air.

Cumberland Jeffrey's steps were slow, as heavy as lead.

Originally, this middle-aged man had a ruddy face and full of energy, but at this time he was a lifeless gray, his face was so pale that he seemed to have lost all his blood, and a pair of dry lips were trembling slightly.

"Lord Geoffrey, what's going on?"

Seeing the lost and dejected appearance of this lord, Viduka could no longer care about this fight, put his sword back into its sheath, and squeezed through the crowd of onlookers in a few arrow steps to come to Cumberland.

The gray eyes were full of sorrow and sorrow.

Cumberland looked at Viduka, and the knights and knights' servants also moved closer.

"Randall is dead."

He said lightly, but it was such a short sentence, which seemed to drain the strength of his whole body, and the figure that had always been straight up looked a little awkward in this instant.

"Randall?"

Viduka, including the young people of the Iris Order, had naturally heard the name and deeds of the eldest son of the Knight Geoffrey-

Randall, who was excellent in all respects, was regarded as one of the leading figures of the younger generation in the Tallon region, but now, hearing of his death, the people were shocked, then stunned, and then angry.

"What's going on?"

"On the 23rd of December of the year of the new moon, Randall led his team to the Ampton mines to exterminate the bandits, but was defeated and killed in a one-man duel."

"Bandits?"

"How is that possible?"

The knights couldn't help but have questions.

After the "Fog Pine War", the kingdom's Northland bandits were rampant, but to say that the bandits composed of outcasts and routs could defeat a knight who was almost at the peak of his inauguration, they could not believe it anyway-

Most of the bandits' strength is in the uninaugurated stage, and occasionally there are one or two inaugural characters, who can already be regarded as the leaders of the bandit group.

Defeated and killed in a duel?

Someone noticed this passage in Cumberland's words, and their expressions became extremely complicated, as if they had heard some bizarre and absurd story.

"Lord Geoffrey, Viduka lost to the leader of the bandits in a duel?"

Viduka asked, incredulous, as he saw the middle-aged man nod slowly—Viduka's mouth was wide enough to fit an egg.

"According to Aiden, Randall went to the Ampton mines with the Red Feather Mercenary Regiment, and he was the only one who escaped by jumping off the cliff."

"What?"

"The Red Feather Mercenary Regiment is also ......"

"Isn't their head the woman named 'Canglan'?"

"That woman is very strong."

"A gang of bandits in the Ampton mines?"

Not only the knights, but also the knights' servants also exclaimed.

After the surprise, the crowd was excited.

Without waiting for Cumberland's order, these young men spontaneously assembled and lined up.

"What are you waiting for, Lord Jeffrey, revenge!"

Viduka shouted excitedly. Beside him stood Evans, the young knight with a cold gaze, raised his arms, and shouted with the same aloud:

"Your Excellency, give the order."

"Your Excellency!"

"We must destroy this group of damned bandits and avenge Randall!"

"The honor of a knight is not to be desecrated!"

Comberland's gaze swept over the angry, passionate young faces, he looked at Viduka, then to Evans, and then to a shirtless young man—

The muscles are knotted and well-defined, and there is a sword mark on the chest that extends from the left shoulder to the right ribs, while the skin on the back is as smooth as new, which is a testament to the bravery of a knight.

Cumberland knew this young man, he had a similar experience to Viduka, since the "Fog Pine War", he has never flinched from dozens of battles.

One after another, these are excellent young men who belong to the Knights of Iris.

He nodded.

The makeshift camp in the Kingfisher Forest suddenly became noisy, and the knights gathered their belongings, put on their armor, and brought out their horses.

The Empton Mine isn't too far from the Kingfisher Forest, so there's plenty of time to get to the Empton Mine before dark.

"There's someone over there."

In a short time, the knights and their attendants were fully armed and about to set off, when they noticed several figures coming from outside the gate of the camp.

"It's the people in the castle."

Someone had already recognized the figures.

These days, stationed in the Kingfisher Forest on the banks of the Larue River, the knights have already had a lot of contact with the people in the nearby castle-

They learned that the castle had once belonged to the estate of the old knight, Lord Karen Bennett, but now it belonged to Young Master Fred Wolfe.

The tall and burly figure in front of them, they recognized, a man named "Michelle Becky", from the Northland Legion, who had experienced the brutal Fog Pine War-

When it came to the topic of war, similar experiences quickly brought the two sides closer, and many knights became acquainted with this man.

After Master Fred Wolfe left, they knew that this man was currently tasked with guarding the castle.

However, now that they are preparing to carry out the operation to eliminate the bandits, it is clear that now is not the right time to have a casual conversation with each other.

"Hey, Michelle!"

Someone said hello.

Not only Michelle, but they also saw White and Braque, the three leaders of the Brute Bear Bandits, who were now coming to the temporary camp of the Iris Knights.

"What are you going to do?"

Michelle asked curiously, during this time, the three of them often practiced martial arts with the knights, and they had made great progress compared to the beginning.

"Eliminate a bunch of bandits."

Riding on a war horse, Evans, who was fully armed, took off his metal helmet and looked at Michelle, he and this guy hit it off at first sight some time ago, and under the same temper, the relationship between the two has become quite close.

However, when he heard the word "bandit", Michelle the Grizzly Bear, who was once the grizzly bear, and now Michelle Becky, with White and Braque beside him, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment-

After joining the command of Master Fred, the identity of the bandits who were not seen in the past was not mentioned by anyone else, except for the guards and servants in the castle.

As far as they knew, there were only two bandit groups in the vicinity of this area: the Bear Bandit and the Wolf Bandit.
