Chapter 40: Bandit Invasion [Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection]
Based on Pisius' performance, William had some guesses about what he was going to report.
It is nothing more than a rebellion of the people, or a robbery by bandits.
For these two points, William is not worried, on the contrary, he still expects this to happen.
"My lord, your wisdom is like a tulip on the plain, blazing like the rising sun!"
Infected by William, Picios calmed down and pulled out a piece of information:
"The border guards have found the bandits' tracks, and according to their judgment, the bandits' spies should have left the trails."
"Despite being on the edge of the territory, there have never been bandits before, so the convoy suspects that they may be looting the Barron's territory."
William nodded slightly after reading the information.
The intelligence comes from the Border Guard, which can also be called a border sentinel.
Their predecessors were soldiers, but because of their equestrian skills, they were selected to form a border guard.
They are not in charge of fighting, they only patrol, guard, and report.
Originally, Barron did not have this team, and William ordered Scott to train it in order to guard against foreign races.
"Not long after the convoy was established, they discovered this information, which is not bad."
"Let them continue their search and report any progress immediately."
"Yes!"
Pitsius took the command and asked:
"Since it is possible that it is a bandit, should we immediately send an army to pursue it?"
"It's useless, the Barron is too big, and our current army is too weak to protect everyone." William sighed.
It's not that he doesn't want to prevent it from happening.
It's just that Barron's situation doesn't support him to do so.
If the border sentry can find the exact location of the bandits, then they can send troops to try.
"Picios, study the recruitment plan in your free time."
"Recruitment?"
"That's right."
William said firmly: "After waiting for the alien invasion, start recruiting troops immediately." Next time, Barron will no longer be on the defensive. ”
"Yes!"
……
After deliberating, Picios left with two orders.
One is about keeping up with the border sentinels, and the other is about recruiting troops.
Inside the Black Rock Castle, William slowly took a sip of white water.
Ever since he got rid of Kelly Fu and the others, he had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to "force" him out of Plenty City.
He wanted to see if there were any nobles in Barron's realm who were trying to rebel against him.
Especially those who have various relationships with the four Kellyfords, such as in-laws, teachers and students, and friends......
Removing the first evil is just pulling out the thorn in the eye.
Are there any bruises, abscesses, or abscesses left......
Look further.
Now that he is in Black Rock Fort, others naturally dare not resist.
If William leaves the City of Plenty, it will not be necessarily, after all, the opportunity is not easy to come by, and if he does not resist, it will no longer be possible.
"Bandits... Bandits......"
"It's not bad to test the knife."
In thought, William left the drawing-room, walked upstairs to the castle, and entered his study.
This study has a very old feeling, whether it is furniture or books, it makes the air here have a sense of history.
There is only a small window in the study, and in addition, it is surrounded by extremely hard black rock, and then painted with special lacquer, even after decades, the paint has not shown the slightest trace of falling off.
In the evening, the afterglow came through the window, shining brightly.
Sit down in a chair and pick up the envelope on the left:
Prince William in person:
I've been guarding my territory since the palace left many years ago, and it's my uncle's fault that I didn't visit you.
My territory is not far from you, and you only need to pass through the Viscount of Elfman to reach my territory, the Martínez Domain.
I was worried when I learned that you had been sealed to the Barron Domain.
I wanted to see you as soon as possible, but there was a sudden bandit in the territory, and I was leading troops to chase after you.
Don't worry, William, I will definitely bring troops to your aid before the alien invasion.
- Reco Martinez.
After reading the letter, William was silent for a long time.
Before, in the royal capital, he was still thinking about how to borrow the help of this uncle, but later he dispelled this idea.
Because Salvatore told him that the danger of the Martinez Collar did not have to be lower than the Barron's Collar.
If the danger of the Barron Territory comes from the alien race of the Wolf Howl Prairie.
Then the danger of Martinez's territory comes from the endless stream of horse bandits. The horse bandits from the border of Saidus, some are Saidians, some are foreigners, and some may even be black gloves of aristocratic forces.
Speaking of which, Reke was knighted for merit after all.
Because of his merits, he was rarely sealed in the core area of the kingdom, and most of them were on the border.
"Uncle Reke, ......"
Looking at the handwriting on the envelope, William knew that Reke was still the brave uncle, and at the same time the uncle who loved him.
Remove the pen and spread out the paper.
Reply carefully.
In the letter, William's thoughts about his uncle and his concern for him were stated.
So that Reke does not have to bring troops to support, the army in Barron's territory is enough to resist the alien race, and he said that he has three great knight-level masters, even if he can't resist the alien race, he will not encounter danger.
Such as Yunyun, the words are sincere.
Put it in an envelope and seal it with red clay.
"Charlie, send it to Viscount Reco."
"Yes."
……
On June 11th, the sky was crisp.
Picios walked into Blackrock Fort again with the intel.
This time there was not the slightest anxiety on his face, because the lord had already stated before:
Bandits are not terrible, what is terrible is that the robbers only receive the news after they have robbed.
Fortunately.
The border sentinels were powerful and finally found a reliable clue.
The face is calm and waveless, representing inner calm; But Picios was three points faster than usual, which was a sign of respect for intelligence.
"Lord, the latest information ......"
William read it quickly, and suddenly got up: "Gather Scott, Just, and Golander." ”
"Yes!"
Ten minutes later, everyone met at Blackrock Fort, and William made a long story short and summarized the information briefly.
There were three towns and seventeen villages in the Barron realm.
According to the intelligence, after tracking and analysis, the sentinels initially concluded that the bandits would invade several villages on the edge of the raided territory, and it was uncertain which one of them would be exact, but the bandits were menacing, and they would definitely not pass by the road.
"Scott, how's the Garrison Legion getting in order?"
"One heart, no one!"
"Good!" William praised loudly.
Although Scott would only stay in Barron for a year, he did not slack off in his duties.
In William's observations, Scott was definitely a good helper in managing the army.
When the time comes, we will have to find a way to keep him......
"Just, how's the formation of the Dreadnought going?"
"I just finished choosing, and I haven't had time to straighten out the training. The armies, including the left acropolis and the right acropolis, are relatively lazy, and if they want to fight long distances, they may not be able to do so. ”
"Time is pressing, train hard."
"Yes!"
Looking around, his gaze stayed on Gouland, his gaze staggered, and William's eyes nodded.
There was certainly no need for Goulander to do so in this operation, and the Sheriff's Department was not in charge of this business.
"Scott, come with me!"
"Yes!"
