Their appearance instantly attracted the attention of all mercenaries and bounty hunters.

Knight Barnett, wearing heavy armor and hanging a long sword, glanced at the crowd and said in a gloomy voice: "I know that there is someone who killed Danny among you."

"I don't care what hatred there is between you and Roy, this matter ends here."

"When I return to the town, I will definitely find you out."

After saying that, he turned around and left here again. Henry on the side hurriedly followed and flattered: "Lord Barnett, when I return, I will definitely check these people carefully and find out the person behind Danny."

Knight Barnett stopped, glanced at the fat businessman beside him, and said coldly: "If it weren't for Lord Conrad's order, how could I take you and a group of rabble to act together."

"...Ha...ha...Lord Barnett is right..." Faced with such a need for humiliation, Henry still smiled flatteringly and nodded.

After Knight Barnett and Henry left, the guards also withdrew their troops and returned.

Looking at the tall figure in the distance, Hood frowned and asked in confusion: "Has Knight Barnett always been like this?"

Bearded Jason laughed and patted Hood on the shoulder and said: "Hahaha, brother Hood, you mean that Lord Barnett speaks more directly, right?"

Hood nodded in agreement.

Bearded Jason smiled and explained: "In fact, Knight Barnett was not like this before. He was a very gentle and kind person before, and he was also very friendly to us mercenaries. However, since something happened not long ago, he has become indifferent and severe."

"Oh? What happened to make him like this?" Hood asked curiously.

Bearded Jason lowered his voice, looked around mysteriously, and then whispered: "Do you know where the fiefdom of Sir Barnett is?"

Hodder was shocked, but he remained calm and answered with a puzzled expression: "I don't know, where is it?"

Bearded Jason told him mysteriously: "Hey, I'll tell you, Sir Barnett's territory is Lesse Village. Just a few days ago, the entire Lesse Village was massacred by a group of people of unknown origin!"

Hodder immediately widened his eyes and pretended to be shocked.

"I didn't expect it, a village was directly massacred, all the villagers died, and even Lesse Village was burned by that group of people."

Bearded Jason sighed and said: "I don't know who did this, the means were too cruel."

Hearing this, Hodder's face became a little ugly, and Nott's expression on the side also became cold.

"However, I think this may have been done by that group of robbers." Bearded Jason touched his beard and said.

"Oh?" Hod looked at Jason in confusion, not understanding why he thought so.

"It's very simple. There are dozens of villagers in Lesse Village anyway, and there are also several militiamen who have received basic training. Ordinary criminals are no match for them." Bearded Jason said.

"And I think Knight Barnett thinks so too."

The latter sentence made Hod's tense mind relax a little, but he was still puzzled why Jason said so.

"Does Lord Barnett think so too?" Hod asked.

"Yes, Lord Barnett has never participated in the previous encirclements. If he didn't think that it was this group of bandits who attacked Lesse Village, how could he participate in this operation?" Bearded Jason said confidently.

So that's it...

Hod nodded, his eyes thoughtful.

"Okay, brother Hood, I'm going to catch up on some sleep."

After explaining his views to Hood, bearded Jason yawned and turned away, leaving only Hood and Nott still there.

The gathered mercenaries gradually dispersed, and Hood saw this and took Nott back to the tent.

"Boss, Barnett actually thought that the bandits attacked his territory, so are we safe..."

Nott, who had listened to the whole process, was a little excited at the moment.

"Well, it's safe." Hood responded casually, then lay on the blanket, thinking about the things in Laise Village, and closed his eyes unconsciously.

"Tap tap..."

"Tap tap..."

A burst of rapid horse hooves sounded at the mouth of the valley, breaking the tranquility in the valley.

Then, two bounty hunters wearing pointed skull helmets, short-sleeved chainmail shirts, holding cavalry spears, and long swords on their waists rushed into the camp like the wind on colorful horses.

As soon as they entered the camp, the two bounty hunter riders jumped off skillfully.Horses, cowhide boots stepped heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

They looked nervous and hurried to the center of the camp, with fast and powerful steps. At the same time, several guards quickly stepped forward, took the reins, and led the panting and sweating horses to the stables nearby.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

In an instant, the whole camp became noisy, and the mercenaries whispered and talked, with curiosity and uneasiness on their faces.

Hod and the other four stood in the crowd, staring at the backs of the two bounty hunter riders until they disappeared into a tent.

"Boss?" Nott and the other three looked at Hod with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"I think they should have found the traces of those robbers." Hod touched the stubble on his chin and guessed.

After hearing this, Nott and the other two had a flash of excitement in their eyes, but more of it was worry. After all, these bandits were not easy to deal with. If they really met them, there would probably be a fierce battle.

"I hope it won't be too troublesome." Paul whispered.

"Yes, we are only here to assassinate Roy. There is no need to get involved in disputes that have nothing to do with us." Jules also echoed.

Hod nodded in agreement.

Not long after, the two riders walked out of the tent, and three other people walked out at the same time.

The leader was the tall, muscular Barnett Knight, who wore a silk lining, a heavy chain mail, a cotton armor robe, and a high-quality steel long sword hanging on his waist.

The two behind him were the captains of the town guards who were also wearing chain mail and robes, but they looked particularly thin compared to the Barnett Knight in front of them who looked like a tin can.

"Then Kevin, gather our soldiers and get ready to go."
