Early in the morning, everyone saw that there was an additional notice on the city wall, but unlike before, this time there was no need to find a literate person to read it, Robin had been standing under the notice since he posted it, explaining the content of the notice to passers-by.

In less than a morning, the people of Nafu and beyond, knew that their lord was about to give a new speech.

At noon, the same wooden platform was erected, and people from all over gathered here.

As the afternoon approached, the nobles also came in their own carriages, but Claire deliberately did not set up seats, so they could only stand like the people, and occasionally had to take out handkerchiefs to wipe the sweat from their faces.

After almost an hour or two, when the sun was about to set, Claire was late.

Before they could show up, the nobles below heard loud cheers and applause from behind, and Claire was much more popular than they had imagined.

"Good afternoon, everyone!" Claire grinned and stood on the platform.

"Lord Viscount Gui'an!"

"Viscount, every day!"

"May the Viscount's reputation resound throughout the world!"

The people below waved their hands to greet each other, and since the last Claire's speech ended, most of them have become Claire's little fan brothers, little fan sisters.

Claire waved her hand, and the people below consciously stopped their voices.

"I called everyone here this time, mainly to suppress bandits, bandits outside the city have always been a problem in our Nafu City, and even dare to assassinate me and rob our goods in Nafu City!"

The people below all looked at Claire on the stage quietly, indeed as Claire said, those robbers did more than that, sometimes when there was a shortage of food, they would break into the village to steal food, and kidnap some women, and their hearts were very hateful.

"Hemp... Bah! Robbers are always to be killed! Think about it! When you are drinking wine and holding the maid at home, suddenly news comes that your goods have been robbed by robbers! So, a day without robbers is a good day! ”

The people below didn't know why, but they still shouted: "Yes! ”

But the aristocrats below listened a little uncomfortable, and they always felt that Claire was pointing something on stage.

"However, since I returned to the territory for the first time, the funds prepared have been used to train the knight team, and the tax has been reduced so much, and now there is not enough money for us to go to suppress the bandits, so now I hope you can help and donate some money, of course, donating more and donating less is the heart!"

Although Baron Eugene felt that something was wrong with the previous words, he didn't have time to think about it, and now it was time for him to go out.

"Lord Viscount said well, a day without robbers is a good day! I, Baron Eugene, invested 50,000 gold coins to suppress the bandits! ”

After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the people below him immediately brought several large boxes of gold coins from the carriage to the stage, and opened them all at once, and the shining gold coins almost blinded the eyes of the people below.

"Turtle, I've never seen that much money in my life."

"I never dreamed of it."

The people below are all looking straight, they rarely see even a gold coin on weekdays, where have they ever seen such a big scene.

"The magistrate of my viscount also donated 30,000 gold coins." Frank also stood up and said, but he was not as relaxed as he appeared, his heart was dripping blood from pain when he looked at the gold coins that were brought to the stage, he was different from those nobles, he knew that it was impossible to get back the money he had donated.

After two people took the lead, the rest of the nobles also stood up and announced their donations.

The people below looked at the whole box of gold coins piled up on it, and they didn't know how to react for a while, they didn't even know what to put on what expressions, and some were just full of shock.

But after the shock, everyone hurriedly took out the money in their pockets, and ran to the table to put it.

"Although I don't donate a lot of money, I hope to be able to help Lord Viscount!" A member of the public shouted.

"That's right! I don't have any money on me now, I'll get it back when I get home! ”

"I'll also go back and get the money from the bottom of the box, Lord Viscount is a good person, I am willing to donate my money to him!"

"Me too! We all believe in Lord Viscount! ”

The people below put all their money on it, and some copper and silver coins piled up and soon formed a small mountain, and people kept taking out their savings from their homes and putting them on it.

The aristocrats below showed their gums of laughter, and sure enough, these stupid pariahs took out all their money by themselves!

It's that Claire feels a little guilty on stage, although it is only a temporary deception, but she still has some regrets in her heart. But there is no way, if you don't do this, you can't fool those nobles at all.

In addition to the gold coins donated by the nobles, the people also donated nearly 20,000 gold coins, not only some commoners, but also some middle-class families donated a lot, in total, nearly each person donated more than ten silver coins

Let the knights carry all the gold coins on the table to the carriage and transport them back to the Viscount's palace, where the tax collector Robin counted the total amount of money collected against the ledger in the carriage.

"Tomorrow morning! The knights set off to suppress the bandits! Claire spoke at the last second before the sun set.

……

In the morning, before the sun rises, the main street of Nafu City is crowded with people holding fruits and flowers.

"Da Da Da!"

The sound of horses' hooves was heard, and everyone looked at it.

Knight captain Hunter rode a war horse and walked at the front of the team, all the knights were wearing heavy armor, the silver armor exuded a dazzling light, and just more than sixty knights rode their war horses like a torrent of steel and walked slowly towards everyone.

The momentum was indescribable, and everyone who was waiting was stunned for a moment, they had never seen such an imposing knight, and such an imposing knight was still their viscount, and he went out to suppress bandits for them, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously from his heart.

The horses and knights slowly walked from the main street to the city gate, and the people followed them to the city gate, where Claire had been waiting for a long time.

"Dismount!" Hunter ordered!

Sixty knights immediately stepped down their horses, and their movements were uniform.

Hunter walked up to Claire and knelt down, and said in a loud voice, "Your lord, your knight team is assembled!" The knights behind him also knelt down with him.

Claire took the flowers from the people and handed them to Hunter, who was half-kneeling on the ground, "Get up." ”

"Yes! Your Lord! ”

The knights stood up suddenly, and the armor rubbed against each other and made a screeching sound, but no one thought it was noise, only that it was very cool, and they wished that it was themselves who were wearing the armor.

Claire glanced at the excited-looking people around her, smiled and waved her hand, and the people understood what Claire meant, and hurriedly ran over and stuffed the gifts she had prepared into the hands of the knights.

The teenagers looked at the things in their hands and were a little overwhelmed, even Hunter was a little overwhelmed, he had never seen such a formation.

In the past, when he was a knight, these people were afraid of them like tigers, let alone giving gifts, and it was good to walk by and not take a sip from behind.

Claire said, "Take it, the gifts they gave you represent their hearts." Don't be embarrassed, you're not just fighting for me, you're fighting for them! Claire told the truth, although they didn't mean to suppress bandits this time, and some of them embezzled their names, but what they did was a good thing for the benefit of the people.

"Yes!" The teenagers looked at the fruits and flowers in their hands, and a different kind of excitement welled up in their hearts, it turned out that as a knight, they could still get the support of the people.

Claire drew the sword at her waist and nodded it on both shoulders and head of Hunter, even if it was a good ceremony.

Then he pointed the tip of his sword outside the city gate and shouted, "Go!" ”

The knights immediately turned over their horses, saluted like Claire, and then drove out on their horses!
