Chapter 2 Bandits
Riverside Village is one of the nine villages under Arthur's family. Due to its proximity to the Red Fork River and several small handicraft workshops, the entire village is considered a well-known and wealthy village nearby.

It is also the village that pays the first amount of tax to his family.

Since it is his source of income, Arthur can't neglect it, at least he can't neglect it before running away.

He asked the guards to bring the village chief in.

Then he sat on the main seat in the hall, ready to fulfill his duty as a lord.

We have also experienced the addiction of medieval lords.

According to the rules of the Tesvilo Continent, the lords pay taxes and provide voluntary labor for the lords and property knights, while the lords and property knights provide services such as security protection and satisfying public petitions for the lords.

Larger nobles can also form courts and appoint judges to try cases.

But the Bracken family is a very small nobleman, and they are only stronger than some property knights, so naturally they cannot afford to support judges.

Therefore, in the territory, Lord Arthur is a part-time judge and policeman.

By convention, the king generally does not intervene in the internal affairs of the Seven Kingdoms.

It's not uncommon for Ned to send Bailey Dondarrion (The Lightning Lord) to the riverlands to capture the Mountain in the name of the king.

In fact, the lord of the family had to come forward to capture the Devil Mountain first, and then the guardian of the riverland, Horst Tully, sent people to arrest him. After the two layers of protection failed, it was the king's turn to come forward.

Because Horst is the lord of the Bracken family, he should also fulfill the obligations between the lord and the subjects.

The same is true of the king, the lord of the lord.

The farmer directly crossed two levels to find King's Landing City, which shows how useless Yujia Tuli is.

If it is the northern border of Stark the Wolf, the Vale of Arryn the Eagle, or the western Lannister the Lion, you can kill the Mountain directly if you catch the Magic Mountain.

Soon, the guards went back and forth, leading six villagers in.

The leading villager is about 40 years old, dressed a little more decently, and looks like the village head.

Before Arthur could open his mouth, the village chief took the lead in saying his request loudly:
"Master Arthur, you have to send troops to help us catch those damned bandits. Those inhuman, evil-doing demons can't even accommodate them in the Seven Hells."

Arthur was sitting upright, with a handsome face and said seriously: "Speak slowly, don't worry."

A middle-aged farmer beside the village head said loudly: "Don't worry, my daughter was taken away by them."

The village chief glared at the unruly farmer, then turned around and said, "Besides Tony's daughter and my wife, those bandits also took away most of our silver stags and copper coins, as well as some clothes and food."

A young man with his left arm bandaged added: "And my ax, which I just bought from the beauty market."

"What are you yelling in front of the lord?" The village chief seemed to dislike the young man's intervention.

He also regretted bringing a few victims to the lord's castle. A farmer in dirty clothes would arouse Lord Arthur's dislike, and would lower his own evaluation in front of adults.

"Why can't you talk anymore, Jess, you're just a farmer, why are you so proud? If Master Arthur didn't think highly of you, you would still be digging potatoes in the field."

The young man was obviously not an honest person, so he fought back immediately, and patted Arthur's ass by the way.

This flattery was not right, not to mention that the current Arthur came through time travel, and the appointment of the village chief, Jess, was also done by the original owner's father.

But it was different to the village head Jess.

Jess turned sideways and stared viciously at the young man who took over his duties, "Didn't you say that I would report the situation to the adults alone? Is it reasonable for you to interrupt first? Your father who digs out the cesspit didn't teach you how to respect people." ?"

The young people are not to be outdone, and they are about to spray their necks.

Arthur saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately shouted: "Enough, be quiet!"

The young man glanced at Arthur, and then turned his head unwillingly. The village chief Jess looked at the young man triumphantly, and then turned to face Arthur.

Arthur also had a big head. The village head didn't know how his head grew. His own wife was taken away, and he was still arguing with others over trivial matters.

If it was later, his wife would have become an "overnight wife".

Coughing lightly, Arthur asked, "When did the bandits come to your village? How many people are there? How is the equipment? Which direction did they go afterward?"

A series of questions were asked from the mouth of the lord. The village chief Jess was stunned for a moment, and then he slowly recalled: "Probably the bandits came before dawn, first robbed the money, then the clothes, and then the My wife also robbed a lot of odds and ends..."

"I'm asking you how many people they have, how they are equipped, and in which direction they are fleeing. I'm not listening to your nonsense."

The village head, Jess, blushed, and the young man next to him hurriedly replied:

"There were about twelve or three people. Only two or three people in the lead wore armor. The others were soldiers with swords. Their equipment was definitely not as good as that of an adult. According to visual estimation, they should have run in the direction of God's Eye Lake."

The old farmer who interrupted earlier also added: "In fact, they came much earlier than dawn, but the village chief's house in the center of the village was the last to be robbed, making him think that the bandits came later."

"They ran in the direction of Shenyan Lake. Only a few people rode horses. They shouldn't have run far. They can still catch up now." Another farmer added.

Arthur nodded, approving the information provided by these people.

Seeing that the lord is not very vicious, several peasants became more courageous and yelled at one another.

"Master, please help us."

"That's the wealth of our family."

"If the food hadn't been recovered, we wouldn't have the money to pay taxes."

……

At this time, the blue light curtain appeared in front of Arthur:

[Mission: Find the bandits and help the leaders recover their robbed property]

Ok?There is actually a task panel.

Then Arthur knew how to play the system.

Finding the bandits and taking back the plundered properties of the farmers in the River Bank Village can not only increase experience, but also improve your relationship with the River Bank Village.

When conscription in the future, you can also recruit a few more.

Among the cavalry and hacking recruits, the strongest is the old farmer with a dung fork.

Not only can you stop a frontal charge of a heavy cavalry, but you can fight with a dung fork without losing blood.

Maybe Arthur's future army will be these old farmers, so the relationship with them must be good.

The Bracken family had 35 soldiers equipped with chain mail. Compared with the dozen or so bandits who had no armor and ordinary weapons, they had a good chance of winning.

What's more, this is his own territory, and he can call the strong farmers nearby to help.

Some peasants who can shoot arrows are no worse than untrained bandits.

"quiet."

There was silence in the hall.

Looking around at the faces of these farmers, in their expectant eyes, Arthur said loudly:

"I will lead people to arrest these lawless bandits."
