Downton landed airborne and landed beside the robbers who had kidnapped the girl.

"Don't come here, or I'll kill her!"

The robber was startled when he saw Downton coming, and put the knife on the girl's neck.

"Help!"

The girl shivered and called out to Downton for help.

"Shut up!"

The robber turned the handle of his knife upside down and slammed it into the girl's head, blood flowing.

"Commander, those wings are magic suits, do you want to grab them?"

The robbers looked at the dissipating wings behind Downton, their eyes were greedy, flying magic costumes have always been priceless, not to mention such a gorgeous appearance, there are definitely nobles who like luxury and dazzling to buy at sky-high prices.

"Get out, don't pull us if you want to die!"

The regiment commander glanced at the battleship that was landing in the sky, and made a retreat gesture, this kind of noble child, even if he is a scumbag of strength, will be followed by a powerful bodyguard.

"Get down on your knees and apologize to the dead townspeople of this town!"

The anger in Downton's heart was about to explode, even if he wasn't the lord of the West, just seeing this cruel burning and looting, he couldn't calm down, why did there always be someone who was lazy and released the evil thoughts in his heart without any scruples?

"Boy, don't get an inch!"

The regiment commander replied while delaying time, and at the same time made a look at his subordinates and told his subordinates to retreat quickly.

"Take out the valuable things on your body, or I'll really kill her!"

The robber sneered, and he was a guy of noble character, in order not to hurt the hostages, this kind of person would definitely not dare to do anything.

"Look for death!"

Downton struck with a single punch.

Before the robber could say anything more, a huge shadow suddenly enveloped his head, and he subconsciously wanted to look up, only to see that a drow elf appeared at his side, wielding a sword. Cut off both of his arms.

Yes!

The robber screamed to catch the girl who was freed, but was kicked by the Dark Goddess Guardian and fell with a heavy fist and smashed into his head.

Bang!

The robbers were bombarded on the floor and waited for the dust to dissipate. The robbers took a step back in unison, for they saw that their companions were broken all over their bodies, soft as a puddle of mud.

"Don't cry, it's okay!"

Comforting the girl who had been brought back by the dragon, Downton glared at the robbers, "You want to die, it's not that easy, I'm going to show you until the crows eat every inch of flesh and skin." ”

"Retreat!"

The head of the regiment has long been frightened and can't take care of others. With a flick of the reins, he turned and ran.

Downton leaned forward slightly, and a cannonball shot out, appearing at the side of the regimental commander in the blink of an eye, and punching him in the waist

Bang!

The huge impact force not only made the regiment commander fall out, but even the war horse flew, rubbing more than ten meters on the floor, leaving a bloody mark.

"Run!"

There were still some hot-headed subordinates who were ready to clean up Downton. As a result, I saw that the head of the adjudication rank was killed in one blow, and his waist down was twisted like a twist. How dare you fight again, immediately like a rabbit with an arrow, turn around and run.

Downton charged, grabbed one of the robbers' arms, ripped them off like chicken wings, and shot with blood. He kicked him in the knee again.

The whole street was filled with the sound of broken bones.

"Run, he's a demon!"

The robbers were completely frightened by the murderous Downton, but they couldn't escape after all. By the time the black hand cavalry lined up, the streets were already full of wailing robbers.

"Who are you?"

The regimental commander stared at Downton, wondering whose hands he had fallen, and if he had the chance, he would take absolute revenge.

"Show these guys to me, and I'm going to let all the robbers know about offending the West, offending my Downton!"

Downton walked over to the girl, ready to say a few words of concern, but probably because of the tyrannical methods just now, the girl shivered and dodged.

"Yes, master!"

The dwarves stood up en masse, struck their chests with their right hands, saluted, and immediately dispersed and pounced on the robbers.

"You're the Duke of the West?"

The head of the regiment did not expect that Downton would be so young.

Downton paid no attention to the dying man, and announced it to the townsfolk who had been hiding in their houses, and had no time to flee just now but to pray for escape from the plunder.

"Go to the town hall and report your losses, and I will reduce your taxes for several years according to the actual situation!"

Downton took out his wallet, took out all the stacks of golden tickets inside, and put them next to the girl, "Go buy some good clothes, when you are free, you can go to the Duke's Mansion as a guest!"

The freckled girl pulled her torn clothes with her right hand, covering her chest, and after glancing at Downton timidly, she quickly lowered her head again.

"Downton, board the ship, now most of the western territory is in this situation, you can't take care of it, it's better to hurry back to the Duke's Mansion to take command, right?"

Madeleine stood on the battleship and shouted to Downton, this kind of rescue is the end of the house, "If the West is in turmoil, those nobles will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble!"

"Hmm!"

Downton sighed and turned to leave.

In the afternoon, when the fleeing townspeople returned, they were shocked to see two rows of wooden stakes stuck in the streets outside the town, and the robbers were skewered on them like roast ducks.

This is a stake type, the stake is stabbed into the prisoner's anus ~ door, through the body, and then stabbed out of the throat, even if the executioner with bad hands, can ensure that the prisoner is tortured for more than three days.

The nobles were fond of using this cruel and painful punishment to torture and kill the commoners who could not pay their taxes, and to erect a stake to warn the other lords.

In the past, the commoners would have hated and cursed the lord and sympathized with the 'prisoners', but today, the townspeople rushed up one by one with gritted teeth, and took dung forks and shovels, and repaired these robbers, especially those who had died, and wanted to bite off the flesh of these fellows and eat them.

"I heard that the Duke of Downton has come back and punished these robbers!"

"Yes, and after we go to the town hall to register, we can save a few years of taxes, which the Duke personally promised. ”

"Hey, I had a good harvest this year, and I thought I could have a good year. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of man-made disaster. ”

The townsfolk gather to clean up their ruined homes, but the conversation quickly turns to Downton, who didn't care who the Westside stewards were, as long as they had an extra loaf of bread on their table every day. Once in a while, an extra fish, a piece of meat, to feed the wife and children, they will be satisfied, but such a simple luxury cannot be realized.

When Downton defeated Placido and became the new Duke of the West, the townspeople were numb, but they were just a different person to pay taxes, but when the three-year tax exemption decree was issued. Everyone was skeptical at first, then cheered, and when a year passed, life was better, and there was not an extra piece of meat on the table, but a few pieces of meat, their hearts were already unconsciously biased towards the Duke of Downton, whom they had never met.

"Where is our army, why don't we come ahead and kill the bandits?"

Some people complained, but they were quickly ignored.

"Hush. Haven't you heard? The Duke and King of the North coveted our bountiful harvest and launched an invasion. Now all the legions in the west are assembled on the border, so these bandits will raid the hinterland with impunity. ”

"These damn nobles, they won't see a little better of our lives, taxes, taxes, except for this. There is no room for anything else in their eyes. ”

The townspeople complained that the coming battle had also made the atmosphere solemn, and suddenly, a young man stood up.

"I'm going to join the army. I hate this kind of running away, and I'm going to teach those who want to take my life a lesson!"

"I'll go too!"

"Lord Downton won't ask us, I heard that his subordinates are all barbarians and hill natives, and although they have a bad reputation, they are very strong in combat!"

The townspeople talked a lot, in the past, people hated all kinds of conscription, especially military service, because of the chaos of border security, when you become a soldier, you have to go out to suppress bandits, you don't know when you will die, now it is different, the townspeople are willing to be soldiers.

"That's not because the people of the Westlands don't want to be soldiers, the Duke can only recruit barbarians, as long as we go, the Duke won't want those guys. ”

"Yes, this is our western border, our homeland, we must protect it with our own hands!"

While many young men and prime of life began to spontaneously assemble on the border, Downton also returned to the main city of the West.

After heeding Homer's advice of 'stabilizing the hearts of the army with warships', Downton lowered the altitude of the Ancient Spear, brushed the top of the bell tower through the air, and the battle flag representing the Duke of the West was also erected to hunt in the wind.

As a weapon of war, the Ancient Spear itself exudes a strong atmosphere of iron and killing, which is very visually stunning, and the citizens who have long been disturbed by various war news see the battleship, as if they are experiencing the end of the world.

"What's going on?"

"Has the king called?"

"Idiot, the king doesn't have a battleship, wait, look at the battleship, it's the Duke of Downton, that's right, the Duke is back!"

After the initial panic, someone finally saw the battle flag, and then the cheers rose higher and higher, in the hearts of the citizens, only the nine empires have warships, and it represents absolute force.

"Where the hell has the Duke gone? Now that the King's army is overwhelmed, he still doesn't show up, does he want to see us die?"

In the reception hall of the Duke's Palace, there were more than 20 nobles sitting, and they were asking for guilt at this time.

When Downton was in charge of the Western Territory, for the sake of stability, and these nobles chose to hibernate, so he did not carry out a major purge, but he did not expect to leave hidden dangers.

"I've sent someone to inform my master, he'll be back soon!"

Abagon explained.

"How soon will it be? When the King's army enters the main city and kills us all?"

Someone asked.

"Does Downton have the consciousness to be the Duke of the West? Hmph, a child who is only eighteen years old, is really unreliable. ”

"Hey, pay attention to your wording, your master's name is also your name?"

Abagon was furious, even if there was no evidence, he knew that these nobles must have defected, after all, once the war broke out, it was the best time for the nobles to speculate, annex land, make a windfall, as long as the brain is not bad, it can always make the family scale to a higher level.
