Start as Inherited Baroness

After a night that was more noisy than before, the camp started to get busy again in the early morning of the next day.

Simon also woke up early, drank boiled water and ate some white bread with cheese.

Just after dawn, the team set off on the road again.

"Lord Baron, there were ghouls and zombies around last night, but they seemed to be afraid of the bonfire and did not attack the camp."

Mailanhui, who was riding behind Simon, reported.

"Well, dark creatures are generally afraid of light. Just smash the ghouls and the like, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

Simon nodded and smiled.

After that, everyone stopped communicating and walked on in silence.

After this walk, the team did not stop to rest until the evening. At this time, they had already walked out of the Baiyang Hills area and arrived on a plain along the river.

Omen militiamen were sent out all around to investigate, but no danger was found, so Simon decided to camp here.

After two days of intense driving, the soldiers were fine, but the militiamen and freedmen were all very tired.

Therefore, the next day, they were not urged to get up and go on their way so early. It was not until the sky was completely bright that smoke rose from the camp...

At this time, Simon was eating breakfast in the big tent, and Sarit came in a hurry, as if he had something to report.

"Lord Baron, we were attacked by vampires last night. Their actions were relatively secretive, and the soldiers on night watch were not aware of them.

In the morning, we found the bodies. Several families had been killed. " Sarit said.

“Hey, let’s strengthen our defenses at night, and when we set up camp later, light a bonfire outside.

And no freedmen were allowed to move around the camp after midnight. "

Simon thought for a moment and said, vampires are similar to humans, and sometimes they can't recognize them in the dark.

He didn't have any good way to completely solve this matter. After all, on the way, ten or eight people died, which was within the normal range.

Simon would not lead the Guards soldiers to eliminate vampires late at night. There was really no need.

Although these guys are annoying, at present, they cannot cause much damage, and it is not too late to deal with them after returning to the territory.

After breakfast, the team started on their way again.

Time flies, and many days have passed before I know it.

Simon led more than 20,000 free people to trek through mountains and rivers, eating and sleeping in the open air, and finally arrived at Duishi collar at noon that day.

Across the Qingshui River is Yong Yi Ling.

Originally, he wanted to turn his leg to the south and go see the Sanshan leader, but now that he was short of people and horses, he had better think about it later.

Even if it is development, we must first lead this base camp with courage.

In the evening, they arrived at the river. It was impossible to cross the river today, so they had to camp at Duishengling to rest for the night.

So many people spread out, stretching for miles, and it didn't take long for piles of bonfires to be lit.

"We're finally home! Mailan, how much food do you still have? Have you counted it?"

In the tent, Simon asked as he drank wheat porridge and gnawed on a roast rabbit.

"Lord Baron, I counted carefully yesterday, and there are still thirty-seven carts left, which is enough to eat." Mailan responded immediately.

Simon nodded, and after chatting for a while, Manfrot suddenly came to report: "Lord Baron, Baron Verrill is here to visit."

"Huh? Go out and greet him." After hearing this, Simon put the food on the table and walked out of the big tent with a group of guards.

"Verrill's control over the territory is pretty good. He discovered my whereabouts so quickly." He thought to himself.

Not long after, Willier was seen leading hundreds of people outside the camp, talking to Salit.

Simon immediately hurried over, and when he got close, he smiled and said: "Brother, you came back very quickly!

Did you also pass through Aries Hills? "

"I only came back two days earlier than you..."

With a smile on his face, Verrier chatted with Simon.

"I've brought you a cow, which has been killed, and a barrel of ale. Let's have a good meal tonight, and we won't get home until we're drunk..."

Verrill said very boldly.

"Okay! Thanks a lot, brother. These days, my mouth really needs to fade away..."

The two of them entered the big tent with their arms around each other, while the soldiers roasted the slaughtered cattle.

They chatted for a while, and Verrill suddenly said: "Brother, there is a trouble right now, which you may not know about yet.

When you return to the Valorous Territory tomorrow, your subordinates may report to you.

In our area, more than half a month ago, a group of powerful bandits came and looted a village and three caravans...

The attacked village is within the scope of Sanshan Territory and is now your territory. "

"Huh? Just rob the village. If you can rob the caravan, you do have some strength."

When Simon heard this, he frowned and said thoughtfully.

"You also know that I was supported entirely by those mercenary groups, so I am fairly well-informed in this regard.

This group of bandits has a complex composition. Among them are two degenerate mercenary groups. In addition, there are also wandering bandits from West Gedi, with a total of about a thousand people.

I suspect it's someone from the Greenwood Brotherhood, but I'm not sure yet.

There are too many bandits in West Gedi, and there are dozens of them with more than 1,000 members..."

Verrill's information is really well-informed. Relying on the channels of the mercenary group is much better than asking passing caravans.

"This group of bandits is plundering my territory, and I will never leave it alone. When these free people are settled, let's see how I deal with them!

Thank you for telling me this, brother. I am still short of a lot of stones for building a castle recently. Can you provide me with some more..."

Simon thought for a while and smiled.

"No problem! The best stones will be sent to you in a few days, at the lowest price...

Come, try this malt wine, which is said to be the best from Eagle City. I haven't drunk it before. I don't know if the caravan leader is a liar."

Viril grinned and said happily.

The banquet lasted until the second half of the night. The two talked about everything before it ended.

It was dark and it was inconvenient to go back, so Simon asked Mailan to set up a big tent and let Viril sleep in it.

Nothing happened that night.

The next morning, the two barons had breakfast together again.

Before leaving, Viril said, "Brother Simon, I will have to rely on you in the future. Just let me know if there is anything."

"Okay, no problem. We must help each other to occupy a place in Xisaidi! "Simon agreed readily.

Viril left immediately, and when he got on his horse, he looked back at the freemen's camp a little further away.

It seemed that he also realized that it would not be long before Baron Simon's strength would be far ahead of his.

He regretted not buying more food before, but soon, Willil adjusted his mentality and led his troops away.

Simon began to organize people to cross the river. It was too troublesome for so many people to cross the river by boat, so he went to find a shallow place to wade across the river.

Fortunately, the creatures in the Qingshui River are relatively gentle, and there are no ferocious water beasts such as crocodiles.

By noon, everyone had crossed the river, rested for a while, and then headed for Spark Castle.
