On the west side of Victor's Territory are endless mountains, the highest of which is just over 700 meters, with gentle terrain and lush vegetation, inhabited by herds of wild boars, yellow sheep, and bobcated deer.

A dozen bobtail deer were leisurely eating tender alfalfa in the valley, and the dense bushes on the hillside shook for a while, causing the alert creatures to flee in all directions.

After a while, a behemoth more than three meters tall stood up in the bushes. This is a huge giant bear, its shiny fur, sharp long claws, and terrifying size, all indicate that this is a fierce bear.

Watching the bobtail deer run farther and farther, the bear had no intention of hunting, although it weighed 3,000 pounds, it was faster than these agile animals, and its stamina was much stronger, as long as it wanted to hunt, no prey could escape its hunt. But it has more important things to do today.

The giant bear leaped violently, the tough bushes around it were smashed to pieces, and two deep paw prints appeared on the ground, and the huge male bear jumped over the 10-meter-wide mountain stream and jumped to the opposite hill. It continues to patrol its territory, which is 20 kilometers wide and 50 kilometers long, and is a fierce bear that is a well-deserved overlord in this vast area, where every female bear is its mate. However, recently it discovered that two powerful beasts had invaded its territory, and it had to chase away the invaders in order to protect its wives and concubines.

It is the season of the earth, when the flowers are in full bloom, the buzzing wild bees are diligently collecting nectar among the flowers, and a huge beehive hangs from the treetops not far away. The sweet nectar and tender larvae in the hive are the bear's favorite. The stings of these wild bees are ferocious, especially those of the soldier bees, whose ferocious jaws are enough to bite through the fur of most animals, but not enough to harm the bears. Normally, the bear would snap off the trees, and then it would be attacked by wild bees and munch on its favorite snacks. But the giant bear's mind was not on honey at this time, it had already smelled the scent of its opponent, and its enemy was close at hand.

The giant bear stood up, its height of more than 3 meters gave it a wide field of vision, and then it saw the beasts that had invaded its territory. It was a huge, strange-looking wolf with black fur, cold fangs, and green eyes. The bear's mane stood on end, making it look even larger, and it let out a low growl at the wolf, warning its opponent to leave its territory.

The bear was not afraid of the wolf, but his instincts told him that it was a difficult opponent, and even if he could kill the wolf, he would be injured. As long as this monster wolf leaves this territory automatically, an unnecessary conflict can be avoided, which is a tacit agreement between powerful beasts.

The strange wolf did not back down, but raised his hind legs and sprinkled a soak of urine on the bushes. In the face of naked provocation, the furious giant bear let out a roar that resounded through the mountains and forests, and it pounced on the strange wolf, and it was about to tear the unknown creature to pieces. The strange wolf turned and ran, and the giant bear chased after him, but he was depressed to find that he was not as fast as his opponent. But it doesn't matter, it will keep chasing, and the giant bear believes that with his physical strength, he will definitely drag down the guy in front of him.

The ferocious bear scurries through the woods, the trees are broken, the bushes are shattered, the thorns are trampled flat, and nothing can stop it. When they reached a valley, the bear stopped. The strange wolf saw that the big guy behind him stopped, and instead of continuing to escape, he turned around and roared defiantly at it. The bear was unmoved, and the beast's instinct told it that if it pursued it any further, it would die!

The bear sniffed hard, but unfortunately it was a tailwind, and it found nothing. But the feeling of unease still swirled in its mind, and the bear decided to go back, turning around and walking away, despite the wolf's provocation.

He hadn't taken a few steps before a terrible howl behind him stopped the bear. It was the she-bear's scream, and when the bear turned around, he saw a scene that made his eyes tear, and another strange wolf dragged a beautiful little she-bear out of the other side of the valley.

The bear knows the young she-bear, her favorite mate, whose supple fur and fishy smell always fascinate the bear. But now, the mother bear howls helplessly under the mouth of the strange wolf, and the dark red blood keeps pouring out of its neck, all this completely angers the giant bear, and it charges at the strange wolf with red eyes, and the threat of death has been forgotten by it.

A silver streamer shot out of the bushes and into the ferocious bear's iron-hard skull, a bolt the size of a pigeon's egg piercing the back of its head. The giant bear's strong vitality caused it to carry this crossbow arrow and rush forward for more than 100 meters before falling to the ground with a bang.

The two wolves bit the throat of the poor she-bear, but did not come near the fallen bear until the bear stopped convulsing, and they trotted over, sniffed, and then let out a howl. It was only in the bushes that a hunter stood with a branch tied all over his body.

The hunter whistled, and two black crows flew out of the woods, hovering over the mountain-like carcass of the giant bear, croaking and flying north. To the north, two companions await news that they will enter the bear's lair to collect a special mineral specimen.

The hunter lifted a leafy crossbow from the bushes and walked towards the bear corpse, drawing a silver dagger from his waist and peeling it.

This hunter is Victor's alchemy militia.

Fearing that there would be ogres in this mountainous area, Victor used the remaining funds to produce ten alchemy crows, an alchemy militia, an alchemy auxiliary loaded with casting skills, and 2 war mastiffs. Victor ordered the alchemist creatures to carry out reconnaissance missions in the mountains.

After a month of surveying, the alchemist creatures did not find the ogre group in the rolling mountains, only two small groups of gnolls. They also found a large area of oilwood and a vein of refined iron ore in the area. However, there is a ferocious giant bear nesting near the ore vein, which makes it difficult to continue the exploration mission later.

After receiving the news, Victor consulted Renault carefully, and he immediately made the decision to hunt the ferocious bear, and sent a militia to bring a Thur silver heavy crossbow.

In order to make it, Victor reluctantly dismantled a military heavy crossbow, which was integrated into Ther silver by Busso, and the re-created Thur silver heavy crossbow could not be wound by ordinary people with a winch, and only the barberry militia with a physique of 17 points could do it. Its power has also increased exponentially, and Victor believes that this mass killer can even kill ogres.

The spirit monkey militia, who received the heavy crossbow of Thuryin, lived up to their expectations and successfully shot the terrible beast. In fact, ferocious beasts are very difficult to deal with, and their wild instincts always keep them out of danger. They are far sharper and more intelligent than their average counterpart. But being smart doesn't mean being smart, and the biggest difference between a beast and an intelligent creature is that they can't control their own nature. When the ferocious bear encounters an alchemical militia familiar with its nature, it becomes a prey. In the eyes of the alchemists of the Nairel Empire, there has never been such a concept of ferocity, and the combat units created by the empire may all be violent creatures.

————————————

When Haig walked into the cafeteria, he saw his team members sullenly drinking purple cane wine.

"Everyone's interest is not high. Hegra opened a chair and sat down with a grin.

There was silence for a while, and finally a member of the group spoke: "Team leader, you see that the other groups are all elated, and their team leaders have become village heads. It's just us, or the villagers' group. ”

"Team leader, I just don't understand. We're not as good as them? Another member of the group shouted indignantly.

Although the other members of the group did not speak, they drank glass after glass.

Haig turned his head to see that the other villagers were talking and laughing loudly, and his own group was much more dull in comparison. Haig shook his head and smiled, they were all uninformed farmers.

"I know everyone blames me for not competing with the other team leaders for the position of village chief. However, we have all heard the saying of chefs: the best food is always served last. ”

"You say that the village is most important to the lord?" asked Haig with a smile.

The team members looked at each other, and one of them tentatively asked, "Brick kiln village?"

"You do value the brick kiln village, but that's because the blacksmith village hasn't been built yet. Think about it, if the blacksmith village is built, how many people will the lord arrange for us? I tell you that there will be no less than 300 people! Who will be the first village in the territory at that time?"

"The team leader is really the team leader, and he thinks better than us. One of the team members came to his senses first, slapping the table and shouting.

Watching the group members sweep away the decline, Haig smiled and drank a glass of purple cane wine. Victor received a lot of good things, but what Haig was most looking forward to was the blacksmith village that had not yet been built, and he had participated in the construction of other villages, among which the mystery Haig also mastered the seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight, and the blacksmith village was directly related to armaments, as a secret agent cultivated by the York family, Haig paid special attention to this.

"It's a pity that we still have too few people here, and when Baron Victor recruits miners, I hope the family can send me more helpers. Haig thought to himself.

One of the guards walked over and said to Haig, "Team Leader Haig, my lord wants to talk to you about recruiting miners. ”

Haig was overjoyed, and when he and the guards walked out of the cafeteria, they heard the cheers of his men.

The Upper Camp is a mysterious and majestic place in the hearts of all the lords, and only a few people can enter the Upper Camp directly without going through the Communication. Haig was not among them, and his smile froze when he walked into Victor's office with a smile on his face, and he saw a few familiar companions.

A quill swirled rapidly on Victor's fingertips, and his other hand rubbed his chin, which was smooth and delicate, without any stubble, which made Victor a little depressed. When he was on Earth, he had to shave every two days, and at that time he wished he wouldn't grow such a troublesome thing. But without a beard, he would think of that old and strange profession on Earth.

The three buddies looked at Haig in embarrassment, and they all understood that they had been exposed.

"Achill has seen Lord Baron, good day, Lord Lord. Haig smiled wryly and saluted Victor.

Victor and Nelson looked at each other and asked, "Achill is your real name, so your identity is a secret agent of the York family?"

"Yes, sir. I am indeed a spy for the Yorks. Can you tell me how you saw through me?"

Haig saw that the captain of the guard, Nelson, was empty-handed, and it was clear that Baron Victor had no intention of using force against him, so he simply admitted it. At the same time, he was also curious about how Baron Victor could see through the fact that his people were as proficient in farming as ordinary farmers.

"Remember the last time you told me that you had collected honey for the nobles in the Eastern Province?" Victor laughed, "I'm sure you've eaten honey, but you certainly haven't. I know that ordinary farmers can't pick honey. Wild bees are so ferocious that ordinary leather armor can't resist their bites. Collecting honey requires professional honey collecting teams, which are often organized by the aristocracy, and no one will steal honey, and they will not only be whipped but also deducted a considerable reward. ”

In Victor's memory, the little baron's father had two bee-collecting teams, which were the family's main source of income.

"So, after I was exposed, the adults quietly began to investigate the people around me, and did not have a showdown with us until they found out all of us?"

Haig was very disappointed, he had thought that his companion had inadvertently revealed his identity, but he didn't expect that he had revealed his flaws.

Victor laughed and said nothing, Haig was found by him, but the two people in the escort team were dug up according to Barrol's method, and as for the other one, it was also discovered by Victor.

"So, knight, do you still want to put it on?" said Victor with a smile to an old farmer.

The room was silent, and the old farmer looked at Victor in surprise, and gradually straightened up, and a sense of self-pride arose. Nelson raised an eyebrow and took a step forward, blocking Victor's lead.

Looking at Nelson, the old farmer's eyes showed a look of appreciation, although he was fully confident to defeat this mercenary, but Nelson stood there with an iron-blooded and fearless momentum, the old farmer believed that Nelson would not frown even if he faced the Golden Knight. This is a valiant warrior.

"Gris York, I've seen Baron Victor. The old farmer gave Victor a knightly salute.

Victor smiled and patted Nelson on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't need to be nervous, and said, "You all go down, I'm going to talk to Knight Gris alone." ”

After everyone left, the old knight smiled bitterly at Victor, "Baron Victor, how did you find out that I am a knight?"

"Because, you are very unprofessional. Victor said.

The old knight would never have imagined that Victor could detect a person's elemental attributes. Since Haig was exposed, Victor has been probing people with whom he has crossed paths from time to time, and has found this knight disguised as an old peasant. In fact, Haig is a professional, and the other spies did not dig it out by observing Haig, but the old knight revealed many flaws, and Victor searched them out one by one according to the method provided by Baror.

"Lord Baron, you really shouldn't have found me. The old knight said with chagrin.

"Why?" asked Victor, his eyes burning.

"I was ordered by my wife to protect you secretly. The old knight replied calmly.

Victor's face sank, and after a moment he said, "What a luxury Sylvia is to send a noble knight disguised as a lowly farmer just to protect me?"

"I know it's unbelievable, but it's just the way it is. Actually, when you recruited mercenaries, Madame prepared a team for you, but unfortunately, you chose the War Bear mercenaries. Victor, please believe that we have no ill will towards you. Knight Gris said sincerely.

Victor was silent for a long time: "Does Nicole know your identity?"

If Nicole knew about this, then Victor would have to part ways with her, Victor has too many secrets, and the strength of the big family terrifies him. You know, what an incredible thing it is to have a knight disguised as a farmer and do farm work every day. But Sylvia did.

"Nicole didn't know, Bruce didn't know, they didn't even know me. I'm from the same background as Nicole, except I'm old. ”

Gris sighed, the family cultivated him, he had to serve the family, pretending to be a farmer to protect Victor was a very aggrieved thing, but he had to pave the way for his own children, which was what Madame promised him.

"Let's go. Victor whispered.

"My lord, let me stay and protect you, and everyone else can leave. ”

If Gris goes back like this, his mission will fail, even if the family will not punish him, but the conditions agreed to may not count.

"I don't need your protection. I'm not a vassal of the House of York either. You've crossed the line. Victor said coldly.

Victor then raised his hand to stop Gris's plea and threw him several parchment scrolls.

"Take these back, and Sylvia won't embarrass you. ”

Griss opened it, a relieved smile on his sad face, and he said to Victor, "As you wish, my lord. Before we go, let me do one last thing for you. ”
