The following day passed uneventfully. Although Diego knows to hide in an abandoned mine right now. But he didn't intend to attack, not at all.

"Come on, Harry, I don't want anyone to get hurt, not the Brotherhood or ourselves. This war, which could not be smaller, is over. He said to Bergard, who had come to fight.

However, he refused the demands of the revenge-seeking townsfolk to hang all the captives, but Masrae's bad idea struck a bright eye.

"You can beat them with your fists to vent your anger, but you are not allowed to use weapons or to kill, for according to the laws of the kingdom these captives are my private property." Diego said that he knew that if he couldn't get the residents of Yuexi Town to vent his bad anger, I'm afraid his next plan would not be so easy to achieve, the hatred between the two sides had accumulated deep enough, and if he didn't get catharsis, he would have to explode sooner or later, and there would be a big problem.

"Grian, no, Harry, it's better to arrange for your people to keep an eye on the point, don't let them kill people, just enough." Diego turned around and said to Bergard, then he looked at Stallman apologetically and explained, "Grian, it's not that I don't trust you, but I think the militia will have a hard time carrying out this order, after all, they are also locals of Mooncreek. ”

"I understand, that's what I'm trying to say." The old paladin said gently.

In the weeks that followed, Diego found himself the biggest patron of the caravan he had come to, as the abandoned town of Mooncreek needed almost everything, from production tools to household utensils to rice, flour, grain, and oil. Diego had no choice but to buy all the goods in the caravan and place a large order with them.

This made the overjoyed businessmen almost close their mouths with joy. Escorted by ten militiamen sent by Diego, they left with bags full of money. They are in a hurry, because if they hurry, they can come again this month, and who wouldn't want to do a few more of this kind of happy deals.

And the power of the Brotherhood of Defia was firmly suppressed by Diego, as for the Gnoll bandits. Well, they are not a problem at all for ten militiamen. What's even more exciting is that there is news in Xuancheng that the broken strip on the dark river has been repaired by the Xiquan Fortress. On the way to the end, they almost all saw the shiny gold beckoning to them.

As the days passed, the town of Yuexi began to change dramatically, almost one day at a time, and the houses that had been repaired were no longer in dilapidation. The residents are no longer full of vegetables, and their faces are full of joy and cheerfulness. Many diligent farmers have begun to plant oats on long-abandoned farms, and if they are in time, there will be a harvest before winter comes.

As everyone watched expectantly, the town began to come to life and flourish.

But Diego felt that he was getting impatient day by day, because the prisoner who had been released had been gone for more than a week, and the Brotherhood of Defia had not answered. It made him a little angry, well, if Van Cleef really didn't know the times. He didn't mind eradicating them in one fell swoop.

But another week passed, and one morning, as he rode around the town, he saw in the distance a red veil tied to the trunk of an old tree, the kind worn by the thieves of Defia.

His heart skipped a beat, but before he could give the order, the sharp-eyed Bart . Leibi had already ridden over. The former cripple had long since fully recovered, and his fighting skills were a good hand even in the convoy. But he was still happy to follow Diego as an acolyte.

"Hey. My lord, this towel hasn't been tied here for long, and it hasn't been wet with dew yet. He said with some surprise, and then he began to untie the towel from the trunk.

"Be careful. Bart, pay attention to the traps around. Diego reminded Kodomon from his back, pulling the death gaze out of his saddle and looking around warily. In Christopher. Under Faral's orders, a small group of guards had already dispersed into a defensive formation.

"There are no traps, my lord. Oh, there's something underneath this scarf, it's a letter......" Lybby shouted in some surprise, and he turned around and ran back, holding an envelope in his hand.

Diego took the envelope from his attendant, opened it and read it.

"Meet at Alexton Farm at noon today, don't bring more than one person here." It was an unnamed letter, but Diego knew who had sent it, and who else could it be?

Alexton, he frowned, the farm was not far northwest of Mooncreek, it had been abandoned for a long time, and there was nothing left but a windmill mill and a dilapidated barn.

"Let's go back." He put the letter away, pulled the reins of the Kodomon, and walked back.

As soon as he got up, Diego almost suppressed his excitement so that he didn't cheer. But as soon as he returned to the villa, he gathered his team and explained the situation to them.

"Looks like I'm going to have to go." He concluded by saying.

But to his surprise, almost everyone objected to him going to the meeting. Even everyone knew and approved of his plan to adopt the Brotherhood of Defia.

"Your Excellency, you can't go, who can guarantee that this is not a conspiracy?" Bogard was the first to object, "If you were hurt even the slightest, it would be a disgrace to our entire convoy." ”

"This must be a conspiracy, cunning humans are always so mean!" He also loudly agreed, but the level of his speech was really not good. Looking at the few humans who were glaring angrily around him, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and snort, "I didn't mean you, my lord......"

"I don't approve of you doing this, even if you want to go, for your safety, I recommend that you bring your escort." Stallman's speech saved the gnolls from their predicament. The old paladin said solemnly, although he knew Diego's strength, the dagger from behind was always unguardable.

"No, if more than one person goes, they won't show up," Diego said, rubbing his furrowed brows.

"Let's go with the two of us, as we have always done." At this moment, the Night Elf, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly said, "I believe that even if something happens, we can escape." ”

"You have to be ready, when we were in the Black Rock Mountain, we were in the shadows, but now it's the opposite, we're exposed." Diego said with a smile.

"But we're not who we were anymore." Masrae said confidently, "I can guarantee that if the Brothers of Defia have any idea, they will regret it for the rest of their lives!" (To be continued.) )
