"Where's your captain?" Gervais furrowed his brows and continued to ask in a calm tone.

"My lord, we don't know, the captain went out early in the morning!" It was still the guard who answered just now, probably because of Gervais's calm tone, and the second time he answered, the guard stopped trembling and paused when he spoke, and answered Gervais's question in one breath, and continued to keep his head down and be silent.

As the captain of the team, he went out, but his own team members didn't know where to go, Gervais was a little incredulous, was this still the guardian guard of the Earl's direct territory? Along the way, Gervais has also passed through a lot of territories belonging to Alice's direct territory, and has also encountered two direct guards of the earl, although it can't be said that those guards are elite soldiers, but they are much stronger than the patrols of those vassals that Gervais has seen.

The patrols of the vassal nobles were like militia units, while the Earl's immediate guards were more like regular armies, at least unified in appearance, and did not look like a rabble.

……

"What are you doing? Whoever let you out will not go back to guard the castle! Suddenly, there was a loud shouting and scolding in the distance, but this shouting and scolding had stopped abruptly before the scolding was finished.

……

Benny was the captain of the ten-guard squad stationed in Viscount Majoor, and he got up early today.

If it had been before, he would have slept until noon before waking up slowly, and Viscount Majoll had become dilapidated since the great disaster thirty years ago, and its location on the edge of the dark forest was even more prohibitive.

Now there were only about 2,000 serfs living in a dilapidated town and three poor villages in this vast territory, and there were basically no freedmen who wanted to stay here, and few people and remoteness meant less fun, and getting up too early made Benny worry that he would be bored.

Benny has been ordered to be stationed here for a year and a half, and it will take three and a half years to be stationed before someone can be replaced, and in the first year of his arrival, he is extremely uncomfortable, although as the captain, he can be said to be the most effective person in this territory, but there is no use, all the serfs live here, and there are basically no neighborhood disputes.

Of course, even if there are some small disputes, they don't dare to sue themselves, as for the robbers, these serfs have nothing but shabby and sour linen clothes, and their pockets are a hundred times cleaner than their faces, and no bandits with bad brains will come to rob them, and life can be said to be as plain as water, and the waves are not alarming.

Of course, this is the first year of life.

The change came the following year, this year, when the orcs of the winter season had just retreated, and the serfs returned to their place.

On the way back, passing a small river, Benny saw a young woman, who was washing clothes by the river, and for Benny, who had not vented for a year, the woman with not fair skin aroused the fire in his heart, and evil was born to the guts, so he broke away from the other guards, and took only two of his cronies, and walked towards the young woman to .......

When the woman was hurt, she desperately struggled and cried for help, and the cry for help also attracted some serfs to come to check, but when they saw that the perpetrator was a guard stationed there, they not only did not dare to step forward, but ran away from a distance.

Afterwards, Benny also felt scared and hesitant. But after a while, that incident did not make any waves, and no one came to trouble him.

From this moment on, it was like opening Pandora's box, and he knew how to pass the ordinary days.

But Benny is not stupid, if he is as strong as last time every time, and there are too many times, there will definitely be problems.

So he thought of a way, the noble lord has the right to the first night of the territory, and now he is the largest in this territory, and there is no noble lord to execute it, so let him execute it, anyway, the life and death of those serfs are up to him here, and no one dares to say more.

So, Benny began to take his two doglegs and wander around the territory.

During this period, I did a lot of things to grab chickens and ducks, but the married family has not been found. Until yesterday, he finally heard that there was a serf married in a village in the countryside, so Benny went in person, because he did not dare to bring people to the castle, after all, he was not a real lord, only the lord could exercise the right of first night in the castle, and there were seven guards in the castle recruited by the former captain locally, and there were many people. Only the two doglegs behind him were the same as him, they were transferred from other places, and they were originally his subordinates, so he was very relieved.

Benny was in a very bad mood at this moment, because when he rushed to the house of the serf, who was about to be married, and explained that he wanted to exercise the right of the first night, the bride of the serf immediately ran away to the mountains and hid.

Although Benny, who had been waiting all morning, was angry, but there was nothing he could do, people just ran away, not someone resisted, and he couldn't kill people directly, so he caught two chickens in the small courtyard, and prepared to come back to eat and drink first, and then find an opportunity to quietly go to block the woman who escaped.

If they really dare to run out of the territory, it will be a dead end, and the families of both sides will be dealt with according to the same crime, so Benny is not in a hurry, but the anger in his heart has not been vented, and he is very unhappy.

When he took two dogs with the legs of the dogs, holding the snatched chickens in their hands, and walked the path to the town, and only then turned out of the alley, he saw several guards standing in the middle of the road at the intersection of the town.

Benny, who was quite irritable in his heart, didn't even think about it, and opened his mouth to scold. But just as he was scolding, the dog leg next to him pulled the corner of his clothes, and at first he was a little annoyed, and his subordinates interrupted him.

But when he looked more closely and saw a young man dressed in silk, and several middle-aged men, he shuddered. Because he saw that those people were clearly riding horses, you must know that sometimes in this world, horses represent nobility and cannot be provoked.

Even if it is a free man, except for the big caravan, there are few five or six horses together, and the most important thing is that the seven guards all bow their heads, as if they have seen a big man, although they are in a nest, they are called and drunk like dogs by themselves and two of their men, but by virtue of the cloth shirts they wear, with the logo of the Jones family, whether they are serfs or freedmen, they can hide when they see them, and they are as afraid as snakes and scorpions.

Benny didn't dare to slack off any longer, and immediately ran quickly towards the crowd, whether he wanted to or not, he could only go, if there was really a big man coming, he would avoid it now, and he would be unlucky later. It's better to investigate the situation first and act on the opportunity.

"This young man, I'm Benny, the captain of the guard here, I don't know what you're here for!" Benny still had some eyesight, and saluted directly to Gervais, because Gervais was guarded by everyone in the middle, and he was the only one present wearing a silk shirt, and the others were all linen shirts, and the three men who looked like guards only wore an extra piece of leather armor over the linen shirt.

"Huh!" Gervais sneered, and he could see the captain's foul language just now, as well as his demeanor like a ruffian. And as a soul of the earth who has crossed over, I have also watched a lot of TV dramas, and the two guards behind the captain each hold a chicken in their hands, disheveled, like some bad guys in the play, who look like they have entered the village to loot civilians.

However, Gervais is not ready to have a seizure at the moment, and it will be a long time before he can deal with this matter properly when he figures out everything first.

"My family, Lord Gervais, has been given the title of the Earl, and from today onwards, the territory of Lord Gervais is bounded by the Withered Leaf River and the Dark Forest, and the ten of you garrison guards will be loyal to Lord Gervais in the future. As the captain, you don't hurry up and salute! Thomas stood behind Gervais, and when he saw Gervais sneering, he immediately shouted at Benny in a stern tone.

Gervais has become the king of this territory since he got the certificate scroll issued by the earl, and Alice also made it clear that if he gave the ten-person team to Gervais instead of transferring it, then Gervais would have the power to kill them.

……

If things go according to normal, Gervais will behave like a polite corporal and answer the captain's questions. But Gervais clearly felt that there was something wrong with the group of guards in front of him, and the seven were better, but they were acting poorly, and they couldn't see good or evil at the moment. But the captain named Benny in front of him, Gervais has an eighty percent feeling that he is not a good thing, so he does not plan to deal with him.

"Male...... Lord Baron, the villain should ...... Death, please don't be surprised! When he heard Thomas's words, Benny was so frightened that his legs almost went limp, and he trembled.

At this moment, Eagle and his party had already galloped from the castle on horseback, and Eagle took the lead, ran to the vicinity of Gervais, sat on his horse, saluted him, and said, "Lord Gervais, I am now on my way back to Winterfell to resume my life, and I wish your territory prosperity under your leadership!" ”

"Lend you good words! Lord Iger! Have a nice trip! Gervais smiled and nodded to Iger!

"Goodbye, Lord Gervais!" After saying that, Eagle said no more, clamped his legs, and directed the horse to slowly walk past the side of Gervais's group, and when he saw Benny shivering, he smiled playfully at Benny, who was peeking at him, and looked a little gloating.

When he saw Eagle and the guards who were following him, Benny's face turned even paler! He heard what Gervais and Eagle said, and if there was a 1 in 10,000 chance that Thomas's words were false, then with Eagle and the guards behind him, dressed in the same attire as Benny himself, showed that the 1 in 10,000 chance was gone.
