On the rough sea, the giant ship of White Bear Town is slowly sailing.

Standing on the deck, looking out over the sea, Willy was in a relaxed mood.

The goal of establishing deep-sea trade on this ocean voyage has been successfully achieved.

Before leaving, Willy consulted with Sariel and Bilian of the Kara Coral Tribe to reach a trade agreement between White Bear and the Kara Coral Tribe.

However, although it is a bilateral trade agreement, it is actually more unilateral. For deep-sea resources, Willy has a strong thirst, but for the resources on land, the sea elves of the Kara Coral Tribe don't seem to have any desire.

The reason why they accepted Vaway's trade request was more like repaying the favor in their eyes.

In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Kara Coral Tribe, such as Saryl, Willy was somehow their hope for the future. He solved the crisis of the Kara Coral Tribe, and also cultivated a silver-level sea elf, which was a great favor to the Kara Coral Tribe.

Mr. Willy, the benefactor of the Kara Coral Tribe, has a need, and naturally he has to work hard to meet it.

In the trade agreement, Wiley mainly made two trade requests.

On the one hand, it assists in the fishing of fishery resources, and on the other hand, it assists in the mining of precious ores on the seabed.

In the face of these two requests, the Kara Coral Tribe agreed directly without hesitation.

According to Sharyl's idea, after completely absorbing the legacy of the Charing Starfish Tribe, the Kara Coral Tribe will not only keep the base camp, but also go to the sea near White Bear Town to conduct a new tribal camp.

This will be more of a way for them to assist the White Bear Town of Veli.

For this, Willy expressed his sincere gratitude.

However, there is actually a little bit of loss on Willy's trip.

For example, Serina, who could still serve as a silver-level combat force in White Bear Town, was left in the Kara Coral Tribe. After all, after being promoted to the silver level, Serina's status is different. Now Saryl has begun to prepare for the planned abdication, and in her opinion, the silver-level Serena is more capable of serving as a strong leader.

......

The voyage on the surface of the sea continued for another month.

When Willy and the others returned to White Bear Town, it was already early summer.

Although it was only three days at the bottom of the sea, the journey took two months.

The town of White Bear along the coast.

Compared with the last time he went to sea and was driven away by the coastal guards, this time the landing was more solemn.

As soon as the ship bearing the mark of White Bear Town approached the waters of White Bear Town, someone informed the shore of Willy's imminent return.

This time, Dahn, the captain of the coastal defense team, led the team members to greet Willy, and Willy also experienced the feeling of being welcomed.

Returning that day, Willy did not attend to official business, but returned home and had dinner with his family.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Willy returned to his study to approve the government report that Sandor had handled in his absence.

Inside the study.

"Bandits ...... outcasts"

Willy already had a thick stack of approved documents in front of him, and at this time, he was checking a warning case about the homeless robbers.

Displaced people exist very widely in this world. The number of displaced people due to exploitation by lords, or disasters, lack of food harvests, or even crimes, is very large. Among these displaced people, the more fortunate ones were able to find a living coolie to work, while the unfortunate ones had to wander around, endure hunger and cold, and even die.

There are also some people who are more unwilling to accept the status quo, and who are more courageous, so they have evil thoughts in their hearts and become outlaws. Some went to the sea and became pirates, while others fled to the border or places where the lord had less control and became robbers.

And what is recorded in the document in front of Willy is the latter.

According to Sandor's report, the group of outcast bandits appeared near the border a month and a half ago. Their size is not very large, the number is about three hundred. Every time they raided, they chose some remote villages or plantations as targets. Run after looting, and be very mobile.

They had raided Sand Butterfly and Stormwind, as well as several other minor lord fiefdoms on the nearby frontiers, but they had not attacked White Bear.

Although White Bear Town is also a barony territory, because of the prestige of Baron Willy of White Bear Town, they are very wise not to target White Bear Town.

The group of outcasts and bandits is not uncommon in the territory of the Duchy of Langton. Even around some big cities or big lords' fiefdoms, there are some outcasts and bandits.

Willy's teacher, Ole, once told Willy about how they obtained the map of the treasure left behind by the Cold Lion royal family. At that time, Baron Kells and Ole and others, who traveled young, were forced to hide in the ruins of the Cold Lion royal family because they offended the local homeless bandits, and it was because of this that Ole accidentally discovered the existence of the treasure.

"Sure enough, the more chaotic the situation, the more some guys with ulterior motives want to fish in troubled waters......"

Flipping the file from beginning to end, Willy sneered.

The situation in the southeast of the continent is becoming increasingly serious, and the Duchy of Vatta and the Duchy of Thornsen are exerting increasing pressure on the Duchy of Langton. When the big lords of the country focused on preparing for the enemy country, some small outcasts took advantage of this opportunity to grow and develop themselves.

Willy is almost certain that there will be a steady stream of bandits as the urgency of the situation further increases in the future.

Instead of dwelling on the issue, Willy flipped through another document.

"Is the Boudal report ......"

Willy's eyes lit up.

The current Boudal is the backbone of the future of White Bear Town.

According to Willy's vision, the members of the Knights were to be promoted to senior squires.

Among them, it is better to have a percent, that is, more than ten people, to be promoted to the knight level.

This was Valey's original goal.

"Very good, Budar really put his heart into it. ”

Willy nodded unconsciously when he saw the data reported by Budar.

In less than four months since the establishment of the Candidate Knights, among the hundred people, nearly fifty of them have already had the physique of high-level knight squires, and even the remaining ones have the physique level of intermediate knight squires.

Of course, this is more dependent on the life energy liquid and the auxiliary potions configured by Coulson.

The credit of Boudal is mainly shown in the fencing practice of the candidate knights.

Among these 100 people, 20 have learned fencing at the level of senior knight squires, 30 have learned the fencing skills of intermediate knight squires, and the remaining 50 have also mastered fencing skills at the level of junior knight squires.

You know, fencing is a thing that depends on personal talent. It is much more difficult to improve its level than to improve its physique.

Boudal was able to do all this, which in itself was not an easy task.

Judging by the two criteria at the same time, the current White Bear Town Candidate Knights already has twenty senior knight attendants, thirty intermediate knight attendants, and fifty junior knight attendants who far surpass their peers.

This force, even many viscounts, cannot be cultivated.

"Boudal ......"

Willy whispered Boudal's name, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

This former pirate leader has indeed made a huge contribution to White Bear Town.

Although this guy's past is not very glorious, the sea area he galloped in before was not in the Principality of Langton, and he was not a sinner in the Principality of Langton.

"It's time to give him some rewards......"

Willy frowned slightly.

Rewarding Boudar requires him to spend a little more brains.

After all, Boudal is not the core team that he has cultivated by himself, so it is impossible for Willy to give him too much core power.

"What ...... Reward?"

Willy's eyebrows furrowed, he needed to give Boudar a reward, one that would inspire him to be grateful for his continued service to White Bear without giving him too much substance.

Suddenly, Willy raised his eyebrows, and he had a plan.

......

In the afternoon of the same day.

As usual, Boudal was about to return home after a day of rigorous training for the candidate knights, when he was suddenly stopped by a personal soldier from the baron's estate.

The soldiers brought news to Boudar that the Baron had personally summoned him.

Boudar thanked his own soldiers, and with doubts, hurried to the baron's estate.

In fact, hearing Willy's summons, Budar was still a little uneasy.

He is very aware of his current situation, although he is beneficial to White Bear Town, but his identity is very embarrassing.

Boudar never dared to show anything more in front of Willy, and even though he spent a lot of energy on choosing a knight for the construction of equipment, he did not dare to ask Willy for credit, and even a debriefing report, which Boudar wrote very carefully.

He has always described the hard work of the alternative knights, but he has not said anything about his own efforts.

He was afraid that Willy would misunderstand what he was coveting, and as a stained self in the past, Boudal knew that every move he made had to be carefully considered.

Now Boudar does not seek any glory and wealth, but only wants his family to continue to live this stable life.

Although he did not have the vigor of his previous voyage, this calm warmth made Budar cherish it very much.

Even Boudal could sense it in his own loved ones that they loved life as well.

His wife and three children are now integrated into the life of White Bear Town.

Boudal, who has entered middle age, has no ambitions left, he only wants to see his two sons start a family, and then his youngest daughter will grow up safely and marry a reliable man.

He worked hard to build up the Knights of Elective Order, just to maintain this good point.
