Start as Inherited Baroness

After waiting for a while, everything was calm.

Simon felt that the vampires would not come again, so he asked Mailan to take the silver-laced sword, and then went into the big tent to continue sleeping.

Mylan is responsible for the rotation of guards.

Before you know it, dawn is approaching, and the first ray of rising sun gently dispels the darkness of the cold night.

In the freemen's camp, some people began to get up and get busy, preparing breakfast...

It wasn't until daybreak that Simon woke up from his sleep. He stretched, got up, and walked out of the tent.

"Sir! Did you sleep peacefully?" Mailan, who was guarding the door, immediately greeted him.

"So-so, nothing happened?" Simon asked as he yawned.

"No, it will be safe for the rest of the night." Mailan replied immediately.

"Well, come with me for a tour." Simon nodded and said.

"yes!"

Afterwards, they, a group of nearly a hundred people, walked around the camp and showed their faces among the freedmen and conscripted militia.

When they returned to the big tent again, breakfast had been prepared. They finished it quickly and urged everyone to continue on their way.

Many free people are full of inertia and do not want to leave unless they are driven away. It is estimated that after so many days of consumption, they are generally malnourished.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock that the team started marching again.

After some days, they came to the White Sheep Hills, where goatmen lived.

When Simon and the others went to Changxiangling before, they passed by this place and saw the activities of the Goatman with their own eyes.

Moreover, the protector army had gathered before to attack the orcs here.

The goat man, who had always been timid and fearful, suddenly changed his mind and suddenly attacked the passing human caravan.

As for the Aries Hills Group, it is considered a traffic artery. With such a group of goatmen harassing it, caravans cannot even think about it.

That's why Prince Fedi went to war so aggressively and sent out legions to annihilate them.

"Lord Baron, the scouting militiamen discovered the military camp on the hillside on the north side of the front.

It should be where the Protector Corps is stationed. "Mai Lanlai responded.

“Go over and ask if it’s passable here.

If that doesn't work, we have to take a detour, which would be troublesome. It would take ten days and a half to make it through. Simon frowned slightly.

"Yes, Lord Baron, we are going to find out something. Please wait a moment." Mailan responded immediately.

"Let's go together.

Let Sarit stop the team first. Simon ordered.

"Yes!" A guard immediately took the order and left.

After a while, Sarit rode to the front of the team. After paying a visit to Simon, he began to adjust the team.

It didn't take long for the long line of free people to slowly stop and begin to whisper and talk noisily to each other.

Seeing this, Simon nodded slightly and led the soldiers of the Guards towards the north hillside.

"Who is he!? Uh...this Lord Baron! This is the camp of the Protector Corps. What do you do for a living?"

As they approached the hillside, they were stopped by a group of more than a hundred soldiers. The leading officer was not a noble.

Therefore, after seeing Simon and his entourage clearly, his attitude immediately softened, and he even had a smile on his face.

“I am Baron Simon of the Valorous Territory, and I would like to know if the road to the White Sheep Hills is still passable.

If we could, we were on our way. "

Simon smiled, pretending to be arrogant in his amiable manner.

This can be considered as doing as the Romans do.

“My Lord Baron, I’m afraid this road is difficult to pass.

The goatmen also organized an army to compete with us. I don't know where they got the courage and weapons.

Many places in the Aries Hills are very rugged and suitable for Goatmen to fight.

After our first few victories in flat areas, the war reached a stalemate. "said the leading officer.

"How big is the Goatman's army?" Simon pondered for a moment and asked again.

“There are about tens of thousands of goatmen in this hilly area, and the army was almost over 10,000 at the beginning.

There are about seven or eight thousand left now. Although they have some spears and swords, they lack armor and are definitely no match for us.

They just rely on some dangerous terrain to deal with us.

This time His Highness Feidi issued a death order, and these goatmen must be killed or driven away at least to ensure the smooth flow of trade routes. "

This leading officer knows a lot, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person.

When Simon heard this, he didn't speak for a while, feeling troubled.

It would be bad to take a detour. Not to mention whether we can find a suitable passage, it would be difficult to sustain the food alone.

Although he still has a lot of reserve food in his storage column, it is better not to use it.

"Who is the commander of the Asylum Legion?" Simon asked again. After all, this low-level officer knew only a limited amount.

He planned to get some information from high-level officials to see where the current battle lines were and to judge the risk of forcing the passage.

"Sir, our commander is Balik Leerdan, the honorary viscount of the palace and the second son of Viscount Black Crocodile Castle.

I happen to be in the military camp now and have not gone to the front line to supervise the battle. "

The leading officer immediately responded eloquently.

"Okay, I want to pay a visit to the Viscount. Please help inform him." Simon nodded slightly and said.

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment." The man responded and hurried away.

After a while, he returned again and said with a smile: "Master Balik invites you to come in for a meeting."

"I want to bring my entourage, no problem." Simon smiled.

"No problem."

Simon nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and followed him in, with all the guards accompanying him.

The soldiers of the Protector Corps have average combat power.

If they had not been allowed to calmly mobilize troops to surround them, it would not be a big problem for them to escape with these 100 elite armored soldiers.

Moreover, the probability that Commander Balik would be unfavorable to him is extremely low. After all, there are more than 20,000 free people and many soldiers under the hillside.

Without ten years of cerebral thrombosis, or the dead soldiers trained by the big family, they can't do such a thing.

Not long after Simon led people into the barracks, a foul smell came towards them.

"Damn, why don't the officials manage it and let the soldiers urinate and defecate anywhere, isn't it smelly?"

He muttered in his heart, holding his breath and walked in.

Fortunately, after passing the ordinary soldiers' barracks, the air suddenly became fresh, and not long after, they arrived at Balik's tent.

"Sir, Baron Simon, the brave leader, is here!" The guards outside the door shouted immediately.

"Baron Simon, this is our first meeting. We will work together in the West. Please take care of me."

Commander Balik came out and said with a kind smile.

"Oh! You are too polite, Lord Viscount. I will be the one who needs your care in the future...

I came in a hurry this time and didn't give you any gifts. I will make up for it next time..." Seeing this, Simon immediately said enthusiastically.

Since this honorary viscount is very kind, he must be given face.

Sure enough, Balik smiled brightly after hearing this, and seemed more enthusiastic.
