For safety, Sherlock still sat in the carriage and did not come out, still holding another crossbow in his hand, until Lockin came and asked softly, he put down the crossbow and stepped out of the car door.

After a moment's hesitation, he stepped on a pool of blood and approached the knight's corpse. Slowly pulled out his protective sword and lifted the mask from his helmet.

Although he was a little mentally prepared when he heard the voice, seeing this face with his own eyes still made him grit his teeth.

"This damn servant originally wanted to cultivate him, but who knew that he was so mad!"

A mere servant, one level away from the lowest nobles, just a slave with some talent in Sherlock's eyes. Of course, he didn't have a good face for a slave who betrayed his expectations and even raised the anti-flag, and even kicked the corpse, regardless of the blood that was splashed on his calf.

“...... Of course, I have to thank you, Mr. Loming. Even if he's a real knight, I'd say you couldn't have made a better shot.

The armor and horses are rightfully yours, and this ungrateful thief who betrayed the lord should let him be bare-assed and corpse in the wilderness!"

Sherlock quickly calmed down, thanked Lormin, and walked over to the dejected captives.

Of course, simple cruel words are useless, but with the addition of these two amazing bodyguards around him, Sherlock's deterrent power has skyrocketed, and no one dares not to prick up their ears, listen carefully to his words, and even show a flattering smirk.

The captives had already been forced to throw their weapons aside and crouch on the ground with their heads in their hands, no longer threatening. Even so, Lockin followed Sherlock to protect, which was more of an attitude.

"Soldier, do you know who I am? Miana's future heir, Sherlock Valentine!

Who gave you the courage to attack your future master?!"

......

Here Sherlock was teaching people not to mention it, and over there Grant approached Lormine from behind, standing on tiptoe and whispering.

Although it was a good pleasure to be almost attached to the body by the girl, Luo Ming couldn't help frowning after listening to her words.

Not only did he feel a little dangerous, but he also failed to catch the other party's traces and made him disappear?...... It always feels like the water is a little deep. “

In order to compete for the inheritance of the baron, it is not surprising that a good hand is sent to kill a competitor, no matter what time in the world. But the so-called good hands that can be sent out should be too strong to be limited, otherwise even the baron himself can't afford to raise them, how can an heir find such a good hand?

The knight who served just now, to be honest, can't be considered a weak person, and being able to reach the level of a high-level swordsman shows that his talent and hard work are not lacking. With the help of a few miscellaneous soldiers, he could take out an ordinary high-level swordsman with a single charge.

It would not be surprising if the charge of this guy made Granty, who was in the rank of swordsman, feel a little dangerous, after all, he would be injured if he was not careful.

But not only the sense of danger, but even the fact that he couldn't catch the other party's figure in the end made him slip out from under Granty's nose and didn't know where to chase ...... That's a big gap.

Although Luo Ming hadn't experienced it personally, both Granty's own statement and Aya's knowledge told him that the swordsman's perceptual power was completely higher than that of a high-level swordsman. Most of the hidden methods of ordinary people are useless in front of the sword master.

If it's a martial artist, it can only be done by another swordsman, or a high-level swordsman who has been studying stealthily for many years - not to mention the swordsman, even the second type of person is an elite assassin and a big killer, which is definitely rare, how can it be so easy to find.

Of course, it is not excluded that it is the likes of mages and warlocks who can use spells to conceal their perception and conceal themselves.

But would a legal professional really appear alone in the vicinity of a swordsman without any other guards? Most of them were not as strong as the old man Gandoo, and if they were close to Granty, they would lose half their lives if they didn't die.

And then again, hiring such a spellcaster is no less expensive than a swordsman.

As the secretly appointed heir of Baron Miyana himself, all the private property belonging to Shylock himself is only enough for a swordsman to make a single move, and his cousins are usually not very favored, let alone come up with so much money.

Title deeds, gold coins, precious stones...... Almost all of these valuable possessions were collected by the baron's butlers, and even the heirs could not have much to use until they actually inherited the title. If it is taken by force, the retainers may have to unite to question it.

They owe allegiance to the family, not to a specific individual. If they agree that an heir is incompetent, they may take military advice, or even exile him, and find another heir, also to ensure that the interests of the retainers themselves will not be violated by the "faint king".

Not to mention that the Baron's preferred heir was not them, and they themselves were truly greedy and incompetent. In this case, unless they want to face the situation of retainers rebelling, they will not be able to use too much money to hire the strong.

Besides, even if they tried their best to scavenge money to hire strong men, wouldn't it be better to attack them with those bandits and knights?

There was still too little information, and Luo Ming immediately came up with several possibilities, and Aya even had a dozen, but he couldn't immediately determine which one it was.

Perhaps there is something else involved...... If Luo Ming had more men at hand and a little more cheeky, he could have done the same: after killing the other competitors, he would have turned Sherlock himself into a puppet, and finally plotted to take the entire barony......

It could also be that one of Sherlock's cousins has the danger of mountains and rivers in his heart, and he has the depth of a city, and he pretends to be an incompetent waste wood on the surface, but he has secretly accumulated money and power......

But this is all just speculation, and now, only two things can be certain: First, in the next time, Luo Ming and the others should be more careful.

...... In addition, the increase in remuneration is already an unquestionable matter.

Over there, Sherlock's words came to an end.

Although the guy who was killed by Luo Ming's sword was only a servant, he was still a cut away from the lowest nobles.

But his strength is actually not weak, if he has a chance, he can become a knight justifiably, and he can be his right-hand man, in the heart of his master, I am afraid that he is ten times more important than these soldiers, not to mention these temporarily hired bandits.

Even if these remnants of the defeated army flee back, they will not get a good face. Naturally, don't think about the rewards of the bandits.

At this point, staying with Sherlock became another option that had to be considered.

A regular soldier was also a precious possession for a baron, and in peacetime there were no more than a hundred people in the entire territory.

In the civil war of such heirs, if they are willing to surrender in time, they will not be liquidated, because the families of these soldiers live in this territory, and in the end they will still play for the winner, not the loser.

Why wouldn't the bandits want to take the line of a nobleman?

Therefore, they soon made a wall grass, and the clever ones even began to show their loyalty.

No one would believe how loyal they were, and neither did Sherlock, but he reassured them a little and promised something in return.

To put it bluntly, these guys may not even be qualified to be cannon fodder, and after returning to the territory, he can gather some of his retainers and his own soldiers, as well as Luo Ming and Granty, two powerful foreign aids. Much more reliable than them.

At this time, there was only one thing Sherlock wanted them to do, and that was to follow the carriage. Just be strong.

A horse pulling a cart was killed by an arrow, although Luo Ming captured a war horse, but the war horse and the horse can not be confused, so no one will think about such a thing as a war horse-drawn cart.

After so many days of traveling, the horses were already very tired, and they could hardly run fast with only two horse-drawn carts left.

Luckily, the rest of the journey wasn't too long, so Sherlock simply slowed down the carriage and walked slowly with the soldiers and bandits huddled around.

Along the way, Sherlock occasionally asked the soldiers about some of the territory.

Of course, he also knows his own sense of proportion, and he doesn't think that he can be counted as a last resort alone. They didn't dare to treat Lormine and Grant as mere mercenaries who worked for money, but let them participate in the discussion as collaborators.

This is also the result that Luo Ming has achieved through words and deeds during this time.
