Looking at the blue gold card in his hand, Roy still had a feeling like a dream.

Seven million seven hundred and seventy thousand blue gold coins. It has the seal of the Golden Skull Firm, which can be used in all 6 of the Great Size.

It's a great asset. It was enough to make Roy go from a poor boy to one of the richest people in the empire.

From the perspective of cash, even a nobleman of Adolf's level or a certain merchant group ranked in the top ten of the empire could not come up with so much money at one time.

Although the card in his hand is only a thin small sheet. But Roy can clearly appreciate the power contained in it.

It made him feel satisfied.

"Look at this boy," Adolf said to Karn, squinting at Roy, "and he can't close his mouth." ”

The two burst into laughter.

Roy frowned and put the card into the space ring, and said, "I'll take a look." ”

"Look, look, it's all yours anyway. Adolf laughed, "But to be honest, you've made a big deal this time." You must know that in ordinary aristocratic wars, even if the wealthy families have been fighting for more than ten years, the harvest is not as much as yours. Important members of the family are not so easily captured. ”

Roy smiled and said, "Who let them bully me a little mercenary?"

All three laughed.

This is exactly the case, if it weren't for the fact that several major families thought that Roy was just a small mercenary, I am afraid they would not be so light. So much so that not only did he break a Sacred Domain powerhouse, but even he got involved.

And this matter has become the hottest topic in aristocratic circles. I don't know how many people are envious of Roy's good luck.

Of course, if it were really them, I am afraid that they would not dare to attack these major families.

After laughing, Karn said, "But then again. In recent times, you've been honest. Although they all signed the agreement. Agreed not to retaliate, however, this does not include the Barnes & Nobles. Old Barnes & Noble is an old wolf, and he will do anything to avenge her son. ”

Adolf nodded and said, "In the past few days, the guards and spies we have placed on the Lulian border have detected a lot of unknown people entering the country. Moreover, there were many caravans that had not been active in Lulian before. It is not excluded that among these people, there will be people who will be against you. ”

Hear Adolf and Karn's words of concern. Roy's heart was warm.

He secretly decided to surprise Adolf by completing his promised Celestial Transformation Costume before the Lulian army set off for the north.

"Also, there is news about Banderz. Karn pulled out a copy of the information and handed it to Roy.

Roy's face turned stern. He took the information and unfolded it to read it carefully.

After a long time. Roy's face was in disbelief. He looked up at Adolf and Karn, "Is this true?"

In the face of Roy's question, Adolf and Karn looked at each other, their expressions complicated, and even a little crying and laughing.

"I think," Karn said helplessly. "You should know your gang of demons better than we do......" he nodded. "That's right, the information has been repeatedly verified. It's true!"

...............

...............

Banderz is divided into north and south by a rushing river.

There is a stone bridge over the surface of this river, called the Mustang River, which is 200 meters long. It is also called Huju Bridge, which is also the only bridge connecting the north and south of Banderz. If you want to cross the river without crossing the Huju Bridge, you have to go 20 kilometers upstream, or 30 kilometers downstream.

Because all the roads are rugged and difficult to navigate, the Huju Bridge in Bandez has become the most important transportation route for local residents and passing merchants.

Originally, Banderz was a peaceful town.

Although the land here is barren, it is almost enough to make ends meet for a town with only a thousand inhabitants. In addition, the nearby mountains are home to a variety of magical beasts and precious magical plants, so the people who live here have a fairly stable life.

However, since the collapse of the Romance Dynasty a hundred years ago, and the three empires formed their current pattern in a years-long war, in the northeast of the Saint-Soran Empire and the southeast of the Pompeii Empire, this chaotic region with a land area equivalent to most of the Pompeii Empire has been formed.

There are dozens of separate city-states, inhabited by all the races that people can recognize, thousands of tribes and mercenary groups, bandit groups. There is an intricate relationship between them. There is cooperation, there are alliances, but more often than not, there is a competition for interests and a conquest for power.

Sin is rampant, blood is flowing, and it is known as the Land of Chaos and the City of Sin. And unfortunately, Bandez, is on the edge of the traditional land of chaos.

Although on the map, Banderz was part of the Saint-Soran Empire. However, this is far from Wolf Town, a famous town in the Land of Chaos. The straight-line distance is less than fifteen kilometers. Even if it is a detour through the mountain road, it is only more than 40 kilometers.

Moreover, it was not a garrison of the Saint-Soran Empire.

The nearest army stationed at the border was also fifty kilometers away. Basically, whether it is the nearby lords, or the sergeants of the imperial team and maintaining order, they don't care about Banderz, and in fact, they can't take care of it.

Over the years, as the Lands of Chaos expanded, so did Bandez.

Bandits, crooks, thieves, and all sorts of villains are here, some of them from a nearby power, some of them wanderers, and some of them have been hunted down from other parts of the Chaos Lands. Their appearance profoundly changed the environment of Bandez.

The current Bandez is not so much a part of the Saint-Soran Empire as a part of the Land of Chaos.

These lawless villains have forced away the local lords and replaced the order and law here with the underground rules of the jungle.

The lord who sold Bendez to Roy couldn't even get out of the castle.

If it weren't for the fear of being too blatant and attracting the encirclement and suppression of the Saint Solandi army, I am afraid that these villains would have captured the castle and occupied this place a long time ago.

A few months ago, the Banderz appeared. A convoy has arrived here. Lived in the Lord's Castle.

Leading the convoy was a little old man named Grande. Most of the convoy was made up of refugees from a small town called Borabel on the southern coast of Lulian. It seems that the owner of Grande bought it as a place for these people.

"Another idiot. ”

The underground rulers of Bandez were dismissive of the newcomers.

Although they were in the convoy, they saw several knights and an infantry squad of dozens of people. Moreover, the flag with red leaves on a white background made them understand that these guardians had some kind of relationship with the Knights of Red Leaves. However, this is Banderz after all.

If the new lord doesn't want to get himself in trouble. He had better stay in his castle and not let her officers and soldiers cross the Huju Bridge to North Bendez. Otherwise, they don't mind letting the gentleman understand who is the real owner of this place.

You know, this is the border of the Solan Empire, although the Red Leaf Knights are famous. But they're too far from here. And the people here can hide in the land of chaos after killing people and stealing goods.

That alone makes them invincible.

In the beginning, the shape shì was just as they imagined.

Now, the butler named Grande seemed to be well aware of the situation in Banderz. She restrained everyone to the south of the Tiger Bridge. This makes South Bandez and North Bendez. The rulers of the Orthodoxy and the rulers of the underground were at peace for a month or two.

But. Over time, this pattern has been broken.

No lord wants to see more than half of his territory occupied by someone else. The most prosperous towns and relatively good land in Bandez are all north of Huju Bridge. In the south, it is only a narrow strip of land, and because of the difficult terrain, the castle was built here.

The only piece of land available for cultivation is a small patch along the riverbank.

The number of Polabel civilians who came with Grande was as high as 2,000, more than 1,000 more than the natives of Bandez. Such a little place is obviously not enough.

Moreover, as Roy's butler, Grande must also control North Bendez, otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty.

Grandet knew that he had spent a lot of money on the way to Bandez.

It can be said that in order to settle the civilians of Bollabelle, Young Master Roy and Miss Malt gave most of the money to themselves. And now, Banderz not only can't help the young master who is in the war in the south, but needs their constant assistance.

Thus, Grandet began its infiltration of North Bendez.

Because of the experience of the previous lord, Grandet knew that with the power in his hands, it was impossible to rid the locusts of Northern Banderz by force. Moreover, it is likely to lead to a catastrophe. Therefore, he decided to start with the economic aspect.

When it comes to doing business, Grandet has a natural vision. After inspecting the whole of Bandez, he decided to pay for the construction of another bridge five kilometers upstream of the Huju Bridge. At the same time, he leveled a small hill northeast of the castle and built a rudimentary market.

A large part of Bandez's economy is dependent on trade. If many of the goods and goods of the Troublelands were to circulate within the Saint-Soran Empire, Banderz was one of the ways through. This is especially true in areas southeast of the Chaos Lands and northeast of the ropes.

Banderz is a shell-shaped strip between the mountains. The construction of the Huju Bridge was originally intended to facilitate the local people of Bandez to cross the river, and later became a traffic artery.

This meant that when the caravan passed through Bandez, it had to take a detour of more than ten kilometers through the valley north of Banderz. However, if Grande built a bridge five kilometers upstream to connect the north-south trade routes, it would be completely unnecessary to detour this section of the road.

They could cross the bridge and follow the paved road on the south bank of the river directly to the south bank of Banderz. The journey is saved by at least two-thirds. Even if they were to go to North Bendez, it would be much closer to South Bendez, and then back to Guò Huju Bridge.

The construction of this bridge cost Grande 50,000 gold lulangs.

At first, the Bandez just took it as a joke. However, when the bridge was repaired, as more and more caravans diverted to the south, the empty and humble market gradually prospered and became a golden cow!

At this moment, the underground rulers of Northern Bendez could not sit still.

The original Mustang River separates the north and south, and they occupy a natural geographical advantage. South Bendez has nothing of value other than a castle. And to seize the castle, except for two days, it is impossible to sell it. The only effect may be to provoke the Saint Solan Empire and send troops to clean it up.

That's why, as long as the real owner of this place stays in South Bendez, they can get along with it.

But with the hand of the old Grande, the underground rulers are now flowing from North Bandez to South Bendez. The geographical advantage they relied on turned out to be a disadvantage.

Although his eyes were red, no one dared to do anything.

However, he did not dare to move Nanbandez directly, and it meant that these people would sit and wait for death. A few weeks later, several caravans passing through Pont Neuf bound for South Bández were plundered. At the same time, the guards stationed at the new bridge also fought several groups of bandits who tried to destroy the bridge.

The situation began to become fierce with the struggle between the two sides centered on Shimbashi. In just five days, the number of dead and wounded of the Banderz Guard, led by Sanjie, exceeded seventy.

Although the number of dead and wounded of the bandits was higher, after the battle, Grande realized that these guys were relying on the support of some forces in the Chaos Lands, and they were becoming more and more fierce, and they were not afraid to consume themselves at all. You can win once, twice, or even ten times, but you can't win all the time.

If you continue to fight like this, you can't hold on to it at all. Once the castle's guards drop to a dangerous level, these guys will even attack themselves and others.

In fact, two Bollabel civilians have been attacked and injured while farming.

Grandet was well aware of the status of the Polabell people in Roy's mind, and seeing that the situation would get out of control if this continued, he could only swallow his anger and concentrate his forces near the castle.

That night, the new bridge was destroyed. The situation in Bandez is back to what it used to be.

This made the underground rulers of Northern Bendez more and more arrogant and rampant.

They even sent people to set up a tax collection checkpoint on the Huju Bridge, and even the people from the lord's mansion needed to pay tolls to them when they went to the town to purchase. When they were fine, they trampled on the newly cultivated crops on the banks of the South Banderz River, destroying their hard work.

What made Grandet and the others even more angry was that some of the natives who supported the Lord's Mansion and hoped that they could drive out the gang of people who were plagued by Banderz were also persecuted. Seven people were hanged from a big tree by the Tiger Bridge, and the corpses of the elder Grande were collected for them by himself.

Another month has passed.

Just when the Bandez people watched the lord's mansion on the south bank become more and more deserted and depressed, and even some of the mercenaries hired by Grande left because they could not see hope, one night, hundreds of knights came from afar, led by a female knight, and entered the castle......
