Chapter 172: Destroying the withering and decaying

Leon thought soβ€”the first task of his return was, of course, to retrieve his own title and territory, and once this goal was accomplished, the next step would be to face the surrounding lord relations, as well as the security and economy within the territory.

To the south of Campbell is the border with the Pale Mountains, to the west is the Green Mountain Territory that contains Devon, to the north includes most of the southern foothills of the Bronze Helmet Mountains, and to the east is the mouth of the Great Demon Sea, but to reach the estuary, you must pass through a land that is almost uninhabited but full of a large number of monsters - the Great Wasteland.

That's the current state of Campbell's lead.

Campbell's security is not good, or it can be said that Campbell was one of the worst areas in the kingdom. The old earl was fortunate when he was there, and after arriving in his territory for the first time, he led his ten knights to fight in the east and west with extraordinary force, first driving back the mountain tribes of the Bronze Helmet Mountains, and then purging the monsters near the border with the Great Wasteland, and finally commanding the border guards to break into the Pale Mountains, and fiercely taught the aborigines and thugs a few lessons, in exchange for ten years of peace on the border - this is actually the purpose of King Sver canonizing Darren as Lord Campbell.

Since then, Campbell has grown rapidly, especially in the dozens of large and small towns around Redfield Manor and Castle, which have grown rapidly over the years.

And once Leon inherits the territory, he is faced with the question of whether these dangerous creatures will invade again after a period of time, when the news of the death of the old earl spreads out of the territory.

For this, Li Ang has some arrangements and some supports, of course, his biggest support is Kaka, but there is only one alchemy master, and if it is placed in such a large territory, the specific effect depends on the actual situation.

The economy is his most reassuring point, one is that there are all kinds of untapped resources in the territory, and the other is that he comes from another world, and the memory in his mind to cope with the development of a territory is not enough practical experience, and the theory is to grasp a lot of things.

The rest is the relationship with the surrounding lords, the only area where Campbell really borders on a large area with other nobles is the Green Mountain Lord, the Green Mountain Earl has always had a certain hostility towards the Redfield family because of Leon's grandfather's status as a border earl, but a fourth-order paladin is not something he can provoke lightly, and in the end he can only stop it.

But now it's different, Leon, as the only bloodline of the Redfield family, is just a second-order warrior, and it is very likely that the territory will be coveted by the Earl of Green Mountain, and in the eyes of King Swell, a warrior and a paladin are not comparable, if it is not for the hereditary system of the field nobles, maybe it is possible to take back the territory, so it is estimated that he will be very "fair" to ignore the fight between the two field nobles.

At this time, Leon had to show his ability to prove that although he was not as strong as his grandfather, he still had no problem maintaining his territory, so that he could silence the king and other nobles.

So when he faced the subordinates of Viscount Anto of Devon and even the border guards, if the other party didn't provoke at will, he could ignore it, and once he had a holiday, he had to maintain his dignity, otherwise he would definitely end up with an "unreliable" excuse if he retreated.

Li Ang had already figured out this joint, so a smile appeared on his face, "So, let's start with a few of you." ”

By this time the sheriff's men had dispersed, and several soldiers of the garrison had unsheathed their swords at the signal of the lieutenant captain, and Kubi and his men were gearing up to give the strangers a little color.

Only Bob, who was the closest, could see that Li Ang still looked unconcerned at this time, or even with a hint of excitement, and the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"You want to take me away?" asked Leon.

"Why, you still dare to disobey my orders in Devon, tell you, I am the sheriff assigned to Greenwood Town by the local lord, ......Viscount Anto!

Since Li Ang had already made a decision, how could he still be interested in listening to the other party's words, he raised his hand, pointed at Bob and said, "Arrest him for me first." ”

Everyone on the other side was stunned, as if they didn't hear the young man's words clearly, but a blurred black shadow immediately appeared behind Bob, a small and thin girl appeared from the black shadow, grabbed the strong man's collar at a swift speed, and then jumped up, with such strength, the right hand that grabbed the collar actually brought Bob's body up, turned around in midair, and fell into the open space behind Li Ang.

Immediately, two middle-aged men rushed over, stretched out their arms to catch Bob's body, and then tied them tightly with a rope.

Melissa also returned, sneaking into the shadows behind Leon.

"You!" the sheriff shouted angrily, and the hands that he had been in the pockets on both sides of his chest were also taken out, and pointed at Leon and said, "Not only have you ignored my orders, but you have the audacity to take the people of Viscount Anto in front of my eyes, you are already the enemies of Devon, seize them!"

Then he gave the deputy captain a look, they usually collude together to earn personal gains, which can be described as a raccoon dog, so at the signal of the commander, the soldiers also began to rush forward.

"And if you hurt our people, you will be greeted next by the Viscount and the army of the guard!"

This sentence is a bit of a lie, the garrison intervenes in the disputes between the nobles and others in the territory itself is a violation of the rules, and the private soldiers of the Viscount of Anto are no more than two hundred people, where is there any "army".

However, the sheriff has dealt with many similar incidents, and he has used this sentence to frighten the other party, either bowing his head and obeying, or paying a reward or giving money, in short, he will not let him return empty-handed.

However, this sentence didn't seem to be of much use to the young man in front of him.

Without looking back, Li Ang walked towards Bob, who was tied up in a twisted shape, and just said a word from his mouth.

"Try not to kill, you are free to do the rest. ”

Just kidding, among these people, that is, the vice captain and Kubi are second-order, and the others are all first-order adventurers, and in the face of such strength, Li Ang doesn't have to take action by himself at all.

As soon as he finished speaking, two different lights bloomed on the left and right sides of the crowd around the carriage.

On the right is the milky white divine light, which is especially striking in the darkness, it is Caterina who raised her long sword to activate the defensive combat skill, and then she rushed to the forefront of the battlefield with a "surprise", and in an instant, the bodies of three or four closest opponents flew into the air.

The power of the knight girl's "assault" is now far greater than it was at the beginning.

On the left side, an orange-red fireball ignited, and the flickering flames emitted an equally obvious light, and Erin held the fireball, her hair fluttering up with the heat, revealing a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm ...... It's not that you can't kill people, why is it so exaggerated to make a fireball technique?" the future young earl muttered to himself as he walked.

Fortunately, Erin did not ignore Leon's order, the fireball drew an arc and landed on the outermost side of the enemy, and the burst of air directly overturned four or five people, but this was only impact damage, and no fire damage fell on them, but the appearance of a real mage on the scene made the faces of the people who rushed over change greatly.

Melissa seemed to be the least conspicuous of them all, but she had already followed Caterina's movements on the battlefield, two daggers stabbing out like lightning, leaving deep wounds on the body of the foe who had been knocked into the air.

Sophia's voice came, and the priest girl, who had already had a good relationship with the young elves, stood in the middle of a group of elves with bows and arrows, raised her hand and said, "Everyone, remember, the target is their legs, release the arrows!"

Seven or eight long arrows were shot out in an instant, slicing across the dark night sky, and most of them were able to accurately hit the enemy.

Up to now, there are still many people who have not yet made a move, and at least half of the twenty or thirty people who rushed over have fallen, and the deputy captain of the garrison has been stopped by Katarina, he feels like he is facing an indestructible shield, and he can't show his strength at all, and many times he can only move with the opponent's movements, for fear that when he accidentally will be injured by the same fierce counterattack.

Kubi stopped halfway through the run, for an arrow had just grazed his scalp, and when he looked up at where the arrow had come from, he saw a tall elf with a bow and arrows, and three arrows in his hand.

Kubi immediately understood that the other party was merciful because of the young leader's words, and at this time countless screams had already sounded around him, and when Kubi looked around the audience with fear, he found that the emaciated girl who had taken Bob away with one blow was standing in front of him, her eyes full of wildness, as if she was ready to attack her at any moment.

Kubi immediately threw his sword on the ground, then crouched down with his head in his hands, shouting, "I surrender!"
