Seeing the tension, the bandits from the north thought that a great opportunity had come.

The horse thieves in Rabbit Mountain and Harrim County were exterminated one after another, giving the rest of the robbers a warning that if they didn't take action, they would be the ones who were exterminated.

Going it alone was no longer suitable, and the bandit leaders met and gathered their forces together to form an army of 20,000 men.

The bandits plundered the perimeter on a large scale, burned down houses and supplies, and withdrew as soon as they succeeded, leaving no time for fighting.

Many lords were distressed by this, and they gave a lot of materials to the robbers in order to seek stability, but they didn't expect the robbers to rebel and plunder, and the territory suffered, and the lord's life was not easy.

One of the weaker lords simply fled to Elspuri and gave up the territory altogether.

Barnard, the guardian of the North, frowned, and the Lord's Mansion had been receiving news of bandits wreaking havoc in recent days. At the pace of the bandits' plunder, El Spelly will also suffer.

The chief knight proposed that the soldiers of the city be sent out to garrison the various towns in the county, and that the robbers should be attacked as soon as they were discovered. The bandits were clever in their approach, picking on weak towns to attack, and it was impossible for them to plunder Elspuri when they had enough troops, but the small towns in the county could not avoid it.

"Do you think this will solve the problem?" Barnard disagreed, it was not wise to weaken the city's defenses, and the soldiers sent out would lose the possibility of victory if they were scattered, and the bandits were willing to see the scattered towns, and they used the horse thieves to penetrate deeply, and the defending soldiers could not catch up and could not contain them.

"My lord, Far Mountain Town is asking for help. "The guards came in with news to report.

"My lord, Acorn County is asking for help. "The other one came in to report.

I've received letters from other lords asking for help before.

"These guys, why did you go earlier. Barnard was a little annoyed, when the bandits were not united, they could be wiped out by sending troops at will, but they just didn't want to. Now that the situation is serious, I think of suppressing the bandits, but unfortunately it is too late.

Barnard didn't have the energy to send troops out at this time.

The robbers did not have a fixed place to live, and after plundering a place, they would move to the ground, and it was too late to send troops, and secondly, Elspuri also needed to defend, and there were no spare troops to send to help.

The chief knight thought for a moment: "Lord Lord, it is better to organize the northern border to unite to suppress the bandits. ”

The previous joint suppression of bandits all ended in failure, and the careful thinking of the lords was obvious, there would always be problems of one kind or another in the joint process, and no one wanted to suffer. Now the situation is different, the robbers all know how to unite, and if the lords do not unite, they will eventually taste the consequences.

Barnard carefully considered the Knights' opinions, and could only do so for now.

"You go and issue an order, the northern border will form a coalition army, only the lord who joins at the first time can include the territory in the scope of protection, anyone who refuses, hesitates, does not show sincerity, the bandit army to his territory, the coalition army will not help. "Barnard issued an order to strictly ask the lords to join.

In the past, the robbers plagued the Quartet, they were only targeting specific places, and if the joint bandit failed, it would be a failure, this time it could only succeed and not fail, otherwise there would be no peace in the north.

"What about Hampshire?" The knight had another question, Hampshire had not taken the northern border guards seriously, and the bandits were not much of a threat to them, so they needed to send the same message.

"They're also people from the North, and if they don't accept it, they're treated the same. "Barnard doesn't care what Shirin thinks now, it's the Northerners' duty to exterminate the bandits.

"I see. The knight turned and went to make a message.

Upon receiving the letter, Leon immediately summoned the knights to counsel.

"Ravenwood is in a remote area, and the bandits around it have been cleared up, and it's not so easy for bandits to get in, and we join the Combine to solve problems for others, and it doesn't do us any good. Asda had doubts, in the past, the bandits of Rabbit Mountain relied on everyone's desperate efforts to win, and since the town did not receive any help, there was no need to support others.

"This is only temporary, this time the bandits have united, claiming to have 20,000 troops, and if they want to fight them, can the rest of the territories except Elspooly, White Mist and Hampshire do it? Mormont stood up and said that in the past, the failure of the bandit alliance was a problem of interests, but now that the enemy is present, it is unwise to consider interests.

York nodded: "I agree with Mormon's statement, this alliance was proposed by the Guardian of the North, and there is a hint of compulsion, the lords who are eager to join the Combine are basically plundered, and they urgently need the assistance of the Combine Army, we can contribute at this time, we can gain more influence, and it will be beneficial to the development of Ravenwood Town in the future." ”

Leon is also of the same opinion, the whereabouts of the bandit army are unpredictable, and it is best to be able to exterminate them, in case they break into the town, they cannot fight with their current strength.

"Cavalry can't be sent out, and our town needs a mobile team to defend it. Hauer had only one request, to leave the cavalry in the town: "Also, we just bought the town of Rune, and we want to send troops too?"

According to the requirements of the Guardian of the North, each territory needs to show sincerity in order to be protected, and the town of Rune has just completed the acquisition, and there is no border with Ravenwood, so the lack of troops may make the rest of the lords disagree.

"What is we best known for in Ravenwood?" Leon did not answer, but asked the crowd.

This made everyone unresponsive.

"Enchanted arrows. York said first.

"That's right, we'll join the Combine and just send out archers. "Leon has decided that the town is short of troops and needs enough men to defend the town, and secondly, the archers are quite skilled in using enchanted arrows, and they are most effective against the bandits who retreat at any time.

"What about Rune?" Hauer still didn't get an answer.

"Ravenwood also has something that's famous, ore. "Leon won't send people out from Runetown, and soon Mormont will be there to select soldiers for training, and in order to avoid criticism, Ravenwood will come up with the corresponding thing, money.

Now that the Coalition issue has been resolved, the next question is the Commandery.

Hor needed to train cavalry, and York and Mormont were to go to Runetown, so Leon had to lead them himself.

"Write back to the Guardian of the North now, and we'll leave tomorrow. ”

Leon begins to gather the archers to prepare, and at the same time has Emma follow the expedition, this time the joint bandit is a big deal for the north, and will change the pattern of the north in the future.
