"This is the way!"

William's eyes were certain, and he said in a deep voice:

"Send more experienced soldiers to investigate the situation along the road, and don't let go of any clues."

"Yes!"

The sentries went out to investigate, and William ordered the soldiers to rest in place and take Justt himself to the village.

The village was so far away from the city of Fertility that it took six hours to reach even if it was a quick march, so William said that the people of the village would not come to the celebration in the city of Fertility.

At such a distance, unless the merchant passes by the way, who has the leisure to do so.

But even this village, which is far away from the city of Abundance, is still some way from the border of the Barron Territory.

It can be seen from this that the territory of the Barron is very large.

Around the city of Fertility as the core, the length of the horizontal and vertical is comparable to that of an ordinary county.

The village chief walked beside him with his waist bent, and in a humble and flattering tone, he introduced the village to William.

The village is called Milfoss, and every house in the village has a cellar, which can not only store supplies, but also serve as a place for Tibetans in times of crisis.

William walked into the village and was immediately struck by the sight of poverty.

The dilapidated houses, the ruined roads, and the decently guarded gates of the villages.

The villagers who passed by were like beggars, wearing clothes with an unknown number of patches, and their hair was knotted and dirty.

According to the village chief, the aliens had not attacked them in many years.

Perhaps also knowing that they were poor and had no oil or water at all, they simply attacked the three main towns.

In comparison, aliens know more "mercy" than bandits.

William looked uncomfortable, and after a few words, he prepared to leave the village.

Before leaving, the villagers kowtowed around him and bowed down to thank him for the food he had sent before, so that the villagers could live a unique good life.

A few children saw William's kind expression, and they didn't bow down for a while, but were pulled to kneel by their families.

William walked over and picked up a child.

He was supposed to be a boy and should be ......

is too young, and there are no obvious male and female characteristics on the body, and the face is like a little flower cat, not cute at all, and looks dirty.

His cheeks were thin, and he didn't have the flesh of the child in William's impression.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Little Watt, and I am the son of Watt, a stonemason!"

The little boy's voice was crisp, and when he said his father's name, he still had a proud expression, but he didn't know that his father's legs were paralyzed.

The village of Milforth had not seen a lord for hundreds of years, and I am afraid that only a few people, including the village chief, had seen William's appearance in the city of Plenty.

For other villagers, the lord is a sun hanging overhead.

The sun can bring warmth or heat.

But there is one thing in common, ordinary people cannot look directly at the light of the sun, otherwise they will be blinded.

Stonemason Watt slumped to the ground, trying to stop his son's disrespectful behavior, but looking at William's cold iron armor and the luxurious long sword at his waist, Stonemason Watt was speechless.

William reached out and tried to wipe the black mud off Little Watt's face.

After a few strokes, some of the black mud was wiped off, but there was still black mud underneath the black mud.

“……”

Is this just crawling out of the mud pit?

"Little Watt, how many meals can you eat a day?"

"Two meals."

"Can you eat enough?"

Hearing this question, little Watt's face was very entangled, and he subconsciously looked at his father, so he saw the panicked look on Watt's face of the stonemason.

This expression is very familiar to Little Watt.

In the past, when bad guys came to the village to rob them, Watt the stonemason had this expression on his face.

So......

This man, called the lord, is also a bad person?

"Can... I can eat enough! Little Watt pursed his mouth with a cry, and his eyes that looked at William showed the same expression as Watt the stonemason.

William sighed and took out a silver coin from his body and placed it in Little Watt's hand.

Then turn around and leave.

Just didn't say a word the whole time, and there was no emotion other than a flash of turmoil in his eyes as he entered the village.

William asked the village chief to call all the villagers back to the village, close the gates, and not go out today.

"Is there such a poor village in Just, in Plejwilli?"

"There were many years ago, and then they gradually disappeared."

"It seems that your king is a good king who can help the poor."

"The king is naturally good." Jaskey nodded, "He's wise. ”

……

After a few hours, two sentries finally came back to report the news.

It is said that they found many horseshoe prints in front of the abandoned horse road, and the traces are very new, and they should be the bandits they are looking for.

William was overjoyed and immediately ordered a pursuit.

Before arriving at the next village, they finally caught up with the bandits, who were none other than the scorpion bandit Cooper.

Cooper's operation, with all his men, a total of more than 300 people, everyone on horseback, as fast as the wind, thought that there would be no risk, so there was no vigilance at all.

Until he heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves behind him, Cooper was suddenly startled.

A fight, like thunder plowing the ground, comes and goes quickly.

In front of 1,000 soldiers, the scorpion bandits had no power to resist at all, and the soldiers only attacked one round and destroyed half of the enemy.

Scot then ordered his soldiers to surround him, shrinking in layers as if in circles, until he didn't let go of a single enemy.

The strength of the scorpion bandits is not weak.

There were more than 300 people, each of whom was proficient in equestrianism, and there were few other bandits in a radius of 100 miles who could compare with Cooper.

William observed it and was surprised to find that the individual strength of the scorpion bandits seemed to be stronger than that of the soldiers.

It's not obvious, but it's there.

In the first round of assault, Scott personally led the team, inserting himself into the group of bandits like an arrow, and the one who was attacked was broken, the one who was attacked was subdued, and the soldiers followed him, and it seemed that he succeeded easily.

But William knew that much of the credit for his easy success was due to the great knight Scott.

He was the first to crush the enemy's resistance formation, and then killed several knight bandits before the gap was opened.

"In a small war, the knight is the backbone of the battle, and the big knight is the decisive force."

"In a war of less than 1,000 people, a grand knight can almost dominate the battlefield."

Through this battle, William rediscovered the war of this world.

It also made him realize that only by cultivating enough knights could the Barron's military power climb upward.

William fought for more than ten minutes, and got out of the quagmire of war with blood all over his body.

Looking at the scorpion bandits who were gradually being surrounded and suppressed, William breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, with us, you don't have to fight yourself." Guarding Brayman, who was personally escorted, saw that William was covered in blood, he couldn't help but persuade him.

Just now, William didn't let Justor make a move, and he personally took the risk of arrows and cut off the heads of several enemies.

One of them was knight-class, which made William very happy.
