The servants were divided into several teams, those who went to find water sources to fetch water, and those who took out food from the trucks and prepared meals to perform their duties, busy but not chaotic.

When Ronald got out of the car with Candice and his mother and daughter, the two great knight commanders Maddie and Fitch immediately greeted them.

"Sir, we will arrive at Qianshi Town at noon tomorrow. Do we want to stop there and wait until the next day before we leave?"

Maddie asked.

"Qianshi Town?"

Ronald asked curiously, "Is there anything strange there?"

"Yes, the adults are very strange!!"

Feige said, "That's the frontier of entering the Stone Forest Canyon."

"The town does not belong to any lord"

"The town's residents are mostly runaways and degenerates. The situation is very complicated, and"

With the introduction of Fitch and Maddy, Ronald finally understood the situation in Thousand Stones Town.

If you go back to the Viscount Territory, then the Stone Forest Canyon is a barrier that cannot be bypassed. The entire Stone Forest Canyon is about [-] kilometers long - the widest part is more than [-] kilometers wide, and the narrowest part is also more than [-] kilometers. .

In the whole canyon, all kinds of strange-shaped stone pillars can be seen everywhere, especially at night, you can often hear strange sounds like ghosts and wolves.

It is very easy to get lost if you leave the road while walking inside.

In this world without a compass and a compass, if you are not a local, you will easily be trapped there.

Therefore, it has become the most rampant place for bandits.

The Qianshi Town built outside the Stone Forest Canyon can be said to be the eyeliner and stronghold of the bandits inside.

Last time, when Mrs. Candis came back, she did not go to this extremely dangerous stone forest canyon, but made a big circle and returned to her father's territory from other places.

And this time, Ronald requested from the very beginning to return to the Viscounty as quickly as possible, so they chose this shortcut.

Don't look at Madam Candice's team, including Maddie and Fitch, two great knights, and a dozen apprentice knights. However, after all, they are not silver knights, and they are easily killed by crowd tactics. , Among those fallen, there are many knights who have lost their territories, so these two people went to Ronald to discuss countermeasures so solemnly.

Chapter 2 Toll Tax? ? ...【5/[-]】

"If that's the case, why stay in the town of Qianshi for one night?"

After listening to the descriptions of the two great knight commanders, Ronald asked curiously.

If you do this, wouldn't you be sending sheep into the tiger's mouth? Since the town is the eyeliner and stronghold of the bandits, if you stay there, wouldn't you be telling the bandits that there is a fat sheep coming, so hurry up and sharpen the kitchen knife? "No, In fact, there are some reasons for this, adults!"

Ma Di explained: "It is said that these bandits generally do not hurt people. If they are businessmen, they only need to leave one-third of the goods as compensation to pass through the stone forest canyon safely."

"puff"

Hearing this sentence, Ronald almost didn't spit out the gangsters in the other world. They have learned to collect tolls, right? "What about the nobles?"

Ronald asked.

"Well, for the nobles, I haven't heard of anyone getting out of there safely, but I think if we disguised ourselves as a caravan, maybe there wouldn't be so much trouble!"

Fitch opened his mouth.

"Disguised as a caravan?"

Ronald pondered the proposal of the two great knight commanders.

How should I put it if Ronald was an ordinary person, he would choose to avoid this ghost place without hesitation, as long as it is safe.

But——he is already a great silver knight commander who has mastered extraordinary power, holding a sharp blade and killing himself.

It can't be said that he wants to be reckless when he sees everyone now, but that feeling of being eager to try also fills his heart.

Forcibly suppressing the thought of [rushing over and killing those bandits], Ronald said, "Just do what you want."

"Yes, my lord!"

The two agreed and arranged for them to first put all the equipment with the noble coat of arms into the carriage, and then replace the armor on themselves and the private soldiers with leather armor and other items. Rough clothes, those caravan bodyguards don't have such fine armor.

With the departure of the two great knight commanders, Candice looked at Ronald with some worry, "Darling, is it really safe for us to do this, or else, let's go around that ghost place?"

"do not worry"

Ronald smiled and gently embraced Candice in his arms, "I will protect you."

"And us"

"Honey, you have to protect us too"

The two little girls snuggled up without hesitation and said softly.

"Yes, and you too"

Ronald chuckled soothingly.

These two little girls were eaten and wiped clean by the old man the night before they left the old man's place. Otherwise, they wouldn't have behaved so well in the carriage.

The night was silent—the next day, the camouflaged convoy hit the road, except for a few more horses, from the outside, it was impossible to tell that this team belonged to the nobles.

And Ronald didn't stay in the carriage this time, but rode directly on the war horse he had come from the old baron, and marched with the carriage.

As it approached the town of Qianshi, the caravans on the road gradually increased.

The largest caravan had more than a thousand people, which made Ronald a little curious. Could it be that the business here is so developed until he heard the explanation of the two great knight commanders,

Only then did Ronald know that caravans with such great affection are not owned by one person. Most of them are formed by several or even a dozen nobles. They gather the special products from their respective territories in a caravan and traffic it back and forth. ——The advantage of this is that some small groups of gangsters on the road do not dare to attack their ideas.

"Haven't these nobles ever thought of joining forces and sending troops to destroy the bandits here?"

Ronald couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I did"

Ma Di smiled bitterly: "But they all failed. The Stone Forest Canyon is too big. There are tens of thousands of people hiding in there, and there is no way to find it!"

"Those nobles have encircled and suppressed many times, but they have all failed, and even a few families have suffered heavy losses, and in the end they were unable to maintain the inheritance of the family, and fell into decline!"

When Ronald heard the words, he nodded lightly. He didn't ask again—why did the silver nobles not care?

Here's the thing.

Because he knew that as long as there were no creatures like wizards among the bandits, or if there were children of the Yinhui family who fell here, then they basically wouldn't care about things here.

In the eyes of the silver nobles, in fact, ordinary nobles are no different from ordinary commoners. Those ordinary nobles are just high-level servants who help them maintain their rule.

Would a master go to exterminate bandits not far away for his servants? Don't be funny. As long as these bandits rebel blatantly, they won't care.

With the passage of time, when the sky was high, Ronald finally saw a small town in the distance.

How should I put it, this town looks much more prosperous than the territory of ordinary nobles. The town is built on a mound next to the road, and is surrounded by a gate that is more than ten meters wide by a wall surrounded by logs. It is an arrow tower built with a mixture of stones and logs. It is more than five meters high. On the arrow tower, many figures in various leather armors are patrolling back and forth.

When Ronald's motorcade arrived at the gate of the town, in front of them, a caravan was being checked.

It was said to be an inspection, but it was actually those guys in tattered leather armor who carried the goods down from the carriages that were pulled by the caravan.

A middle-aged man dressed as a businessman is begging bitterly to a small town chief in fine leather armor to make him show mercy.

It's a pity that it was useless. Ronald heard a term [toll tax] from the mouth of the leader. Well, these rioters have already regarded this place as their own territory and even collected taxes.

You know, collecting taxes is the right of the nobles. Just when Ronald was complaining about these guys in his heart, the transportation in front had been completed. The goods unloaded from the carriages of the caravan were placed beside the road. There are also many people carrying goods to the town.

"Hey, it's your turn, hurry up and be honest with the examination, don't try to hide from my Harlan's eyes"

That... The little leader turned away from the businessman who was begging for him, and opened his mouth to Ronald and the others.

The two big knights in front of the team glanced at each other, then squeezed their horses, "Okay, let's go in"

The convoy slowly came to the place where the caravan was inspected and stopped.

Chapter 3 Fishing Law Enforcement - Ronald [5/[-]]

"Where did you get what's in the car?"

That... while talking, the little leader walked to the carriage where Candice and her daughter were, "Why isn't this carriage checked?"

As he said that, he lifted the animal hide that was blocking the window of the carriage with the long sword in his hand. The moment he saw Candice's mother and daughter, this guy immediately became sluggish.

As a rioter who escaped from his own lord's territory, when has he ever seen such a beautiful woman... A peasant woman with big hands, rough skin, average appearance and pockmarked face is already an incredible beauty in his eyes. What's more, the mother and daughter of Candice, who are all beauties in the eyes of Ronald, who is used to seeing magic tricks, that guy couldn't help but took a swipe at his saliva and shouted loudly: "There are spies here. people"

Before he could finish speaking, his whole body trembled and fell to the ground.

Obviously, this is Ronald's shot.

In fact, although Ronald agreed to the suggestion of the two great knight commanders and disguised himself as a businessman to clear the customs, there was no trace of rash thoughts in his heart.

This may be Ronald's state at this time, otherwise he would agree to the proposal of the two great knight commanders and let his women dress up.

The two great knight commanders at the front of the line immediately drew out their knight swords, one sword at a time, and slaughtered the bandits who had surrounded them. He raised his head and planned to block the arrows that might be shot down from the upstairs.

However, what surprised them was that the dozen or so archers who had been standing on the tower had disappeared at this time.

At this moment, Ronald urged the horse to come to their side, "You go and protect the lady's carriage, I'll go in and see!!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The two hurriedly rode their horses back to the carriage where Candice was, and then formed a defensive formation with a dozen apprentice knights.

At this time, a rapid bell rang in the town.

When the bell rang, the whole town was in chaos.

Some caravans who often take this road know that once the town's defense bell rings, it is a warning of foreign invasion.

They don't know what's going on, but it's never wrong to stay out of trouble.

For a while, the scolding and the urging sounded, and Ronald was not affected by these movements in the slightest, urging the horse to walk towards the town.

You can say that he is fishing or that he is doing it on purpose, in short, these guys all have a way to kill.

After killing all of them, Ronald didn't feel that he was so abrupt on the streets of the town, with all the panicked businessmen and residents, Ronald, who was rushing his horses in a hurry. In the eyes of the town's militiamen who came out, Ronald was the culprit who caused the police call.

These guys can't play the trick of asking first and then killing. After identifying the target, they charged towards Ronald with hideous smiles on their faces.

"Damn it, I'll put my sword in yours"

"Kill this noble's lackey"
