A country road that stretches out from Dehrim, although from a modern point of view, this path is very backward, and the whole is a fairly wide dirt road, but in the warband world, this is an out-and-out trade road, and it is already a very good road.

Due to the frequent caravans passing by and the surrounding nobles also deliberately cleaning up, the roads here are at least not too many weeds, and the ground is very flat.

This is the only way for many caravans, so naturally, there are many robbers passing through here, all of whom want to rob the caravans and make a fortune.

It's just that caravans generally hire guards, so the actual situation still depends on the strength of both sides, the big caravan guards are strong, so they are generally relatively safer, and the small caravan guards are weak, and they are often used as the target of robbers.

Fawkes was a merchant chief, but he was also a nobleman, a down-and-out honorary knight, and apart from this knighthood, none of the family's domains and honors had survived.

In Fox's grandfather's generation, although the family had begun to decline, at least there was still a small piece of territory, but in his father's generation, the territory was lost, and even the houses in the city were gone.

By Fawkes's generation, this is already the last generation of their family's noble title, and if they don't get further seals, their family's nobility will be gone.

Originally, becoming a knight was the best way out for the down-and-out nobles, after all, the entire country was controlled by the nobles, in order to leave a way back for themselves, all the nobles would not deliberately make it difficult for them, and their chances of success were much greater than ordinary people.

It's just a pity that Fawkes didn't have the qualifications to become a knight in the end, and he couldn't step into the threshold of knight training secret methods, so he had no choice but to choose business.

Although he chose to become a caravan leader, Fawkes never gave up on reviving the family's prestige, his business talent was not bad, coupled with the family's previous connections and connections, he finally slowly accumulated a considerable fortune.

The most important thing is that he gave birth to a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower, Freya is only sixteen years old this year, but she is already more and more beautiful, and she is the most beautiful flower in the entire Swadia Kingdom.

Fox was deeply proud of this and saw the possibility of restoring the family's success.

In fact, although Freya is beautiful, she does not have a noble title, so strictly speaking, she cannot be regarded as a noble, a folk girl like her, no matter how beautiful she looks, the aristocratic family will not marry, and even if it is not for the careful protection of Fawkes, she has already become a plaything in the hands of other nobles.

However, Fawkes does not plan to let his daughter marry into an aristocratic family, because it will lose the family name, which cannot be regarded as reinvigorating the family's prestige, and the only way to restore the prestige of the Gran family is to find someone to join in.

In Fox's mind, the daughter is so beautiful, although there is no way for the real noble, but if it is the second son or third son born in a noble family, he can still find a way to recruit it, and then tempt him to have enough benefits, and the possibility of joining the family will be greatly increased.

Like the second or third sons of these nobles, they are not qualified to inherit the territory, and they cannot even inherit the title of nobility, and some are only the title of honorary knight, or even only for life.

As for the secret method of knight training, for the sake of secrecy, they are not qualified to practice, and they do not have enough resources for them to squander, and becoming a knight servant may be their best way out.

Many aristocratic concubines who have no talent for cultivation can only change careers to become merchants, clerks, clerks and other professions.

But if Fawkes can find such a noble concubine, the key is to have the potential to grow into a knight and make him a member of the family, then the daughter can use this to obtain the title of honorary knight, thus obtaining a major change in status.

Even if this son-in-law is competitive enough, becomes a knight as soon as possible, and makes enough contributions, then the family's territory and honor may be regained one day.

And the secret method of knight training, as well as the secret medicine to assist in cultivation, this is the bargaining chip that Fox has prepared, coupled with the peerless beauty of his daughter, there must be many noble concubines who will be moved.

This time, in order to get this batch of secret medicines, it cost most of Fox's property, and it also cost the boss's personal relationship, not afraid that the group of young heroes would not be impressed.

After all, even if they want to join the Gran family and give up the name of the family, this is also a great opportunity for these noble concubines to change their fate.

After all, strictly speaking, they are not qualified to inherit the family name, so it is better to join the Grand family, so that they can not only win the great beauty, but also get the knight training secret method, as well as enough cultivation resources, so that as long as they work hard enough in the future, it is not impossible to get ahead.

It's just that the dream is beautiful, but the reality is cold and cruel, looking at the horse bandits galloping in the distance, Fox suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

In fact, Fox's caravan, the strength of the guards is still very strong, there are more than thirty caravan guards, they are all Fox's carefully cultivated descendants, each of them has the strength of regular soldiers, wearing full-body leather armor, holding skin shields and sharp iron swords, and all of them are riding horses.

In particular, the leader of the guards, who is a close friend of Fawkes, a loyal servant of the Gran family, and a knight-level old John, who once haunted the mercenary group, and even broke into the reputation of 'Fast Sword John'.

With such a powerful caravan guard, and more than thirty servants, it stands to reason that in the face of such a powerful caravan, there shouldn't be many robbers who will come up to touch the head.

It's just that this time, Fawkes was a little panicked, even if there was a knight-level killer weapon like Old John, this time he still felt cold.

Because as this group of horse bandits continued to approach, Fox finally recognized their origins, if there was no mistake in judgment, the leader of the horse bandits was Wallace, the famous black wind horse bandit in the country!

Wallace was also active in mercenary circles, but he secretly murdered his employer, but the revelation angered a certain nobleman, and finally chose to flee, and with a group of brothers, formed the infamous Black Wind Horse Bandits.

The Black Wind Horse Bandits are different from ordinary robbers, they are all cavalry with a certain military literacy, and the worst strength is also the level of regular soldiers, and due to the lack of equipment, they simply chose to become light cavalry, which makes it easier to escape the pursuit of the aristocratic army.
