Start as Inherited Baroness

The next day, Simon woke up early, climbed the watchtower, and observed the bandit camp across the river for a while.

Not long after, smoke gradually rose over there.

"This meal is too late. It started at around seven o'clock, and it must be nine or ten o'clock before we can eat...

If we launch a surprise attack while they are cooking, it would be a good time."

Simon thought for a while, then left the watchtower and went to have breakfast.

At about noon, Aile came to report: "My lord, an arrow was shot from the other side of the river, and there was also a parchment letter rolled up on it."

"Take it and have a look." Simon said immediately.

Sarrit immediately presented the arrow.

Simon cast the spell of detecting poison, and after confirming that it was safe, he took it and peeled off the letter and glanced at the content on it.

The leader of the bandits on the opposite side called himself Iser, saying that he was willing to meet and talk, and the location was chosen in the middle of the river, and they would meet by boat.

Simon thought about it for a while and felt that it was not safe. There were all kinds of people in the bandit team, and there might be a white shark among them.

He wrote another letter, tied it to an arrow, and said to Airey, "Write back."

"Yes!"

Airey responded and immediately shot the arrow to the other side of the river.

Not long after, another letter arrow was shot from the other side, agreeing to Simon's proposal.

The two sides met at the junction of the Stone Pile Territory and the Three Mountain Territory to negotiate.

This location is actually very close to the bandits' camp, so they didn't move.

Simon ordered, "Airey, leave a hundred patrol soldiers to strengthen the force of this outpost fortress.

The rest follow me, return to the Yongyi Territory to transfer boats across the river, and this time bring the East Guard to contact Willier to see if he will send troops.

If the talks fail, destroy this gang of bandits, no matter what their background is."

"Yes! Baron! I'll go select soldiers now." Airey responded, and turned to leave to do business.

Not long after, Simon walked out of the southern outpost with the guards and some patrol soldiers and headed towards Yongyi Castle.

Each person only brought two yellow breads with him, marched lightly and quickly, and left all the baggage in the outpost.

At noon the next day, Simon led the army back to the Yongyi Castle, and spent a night in the wild village.

After returning to the lord's hall, he first arranged for the maids to boil water, took off the armor, and took a hot bath.

Then he asked Mylan to call the three honorary knights who led the troops, Sarit, Aile, and Hilde, to the lord's hall.

After many reinforcements, the three of them were comparable to silver knights in terms of strength alone, and Simon himself was about the same level.

However, the cultivation of the fighting spirit of these three warriors was still shallow, and now they were only at the level of high-level knights, and they were still a long way from bronze knights.

Fifteen points of fighting spirit skills are still not so easy to achieve.

"Greetings, Lord Baron!" After the three of them saluted, they took their seats one by one.

"The bandits who attacked Fearless Territory this time are not a group of scattered soldiers like last time.

I guess there are shadows of those old nobles.

No matter how they make trouble in Sanshan Territory, as long as they don't cross the Qingshui River, I don't want to care.

But now, they have set their sights on Fearless Territory..."

Simon briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and then discussed the action plan with them.

After more than two hours of discussion, they decided to talk first and then use force. If the talk goes well, they will spare them first, and if not, they will show force.

Thanks to Sarrit's coaching skills, the training level of the recruits is much stronger than normal.

Although they have only practiced for a few months, it is comparable to the effect of others' training for a year.

Compared with ordinary veterans, the only difference is seeing blood, and it is not bad to practice with these bandits.

"That's it, the Royal Guard and the East Guard will all go out.

The patrol team, except for the soldiers left at the outposts, will also go with the army.

The security team and the mercenary group will stay in Yongyi Castle.

By the way, the mercenary group can only be in the outer city and cannot enter the stone castle." Simon finally ordered.

"Yes! Baron!" The knights all stood up and saluted to receive the order.

"Go and get ready, and set off at dawn tomorrow." Simon nodded.

"Yes!" The three knights responded solemnly, then left the lord's hall and mobilized themselves.

After that, Simon thought about it for a while, whether to send a letter to Willier, and thought about it again and again. It's better not to send it.

After all, his forces are basically composed of mercenary groups, and they are probably like a sieve, and they can't keep any secrets.

It's better to lead the troops to find him tomorrow. Even if there are spies, it will be too late to convey the information.

Nothing happened overnight, and Simon got up and washed before dawn the next day.

The cooks in the kitchen got up even earlier, and they probably started working in the middle of the night.

After Simon had breakfast, he put on his armor with the help of the maid and rushed to the training ground.

At this time, the sky was slightly white, just at dawn, the prelude to dawn.

The soldiers also had breakfast, each brought yellow bread and other dry food, and were ready to go.

"Aile! The safety of Yongyi Castle is in your hands."

Before leaving, Simon told the commander of the security team, Ai Lei.

"Baron! Don't worry! People are in the city!" He saluted and said generously.

"Okay! Let's go!" Simon nodded and waved his hand.

More than 2,000 soldiers, carrying some baggage, lined up and walked out of Yongyi Castle under the bright starry sky.

And the political steward Mad had already prepared a ferry by the Qingshui River.

There were more than fifty ships, all of which were built in bits and pieces last winter, of varying sizes.

After the entire army crossed the river, it was already bright, around seven or eight in the morning.

Simon hurried to lead his troops to Werriel's camp...

"Baron! Something bad has happened! Baron Simon of Yongyi is coming with his troops!"

There was a commotion in Werriel's camp.

He was eating breakfast, and when he heard this, he dropped the white bread in his hand.

"Nonsense! How is it possible!" Werriel said with a pale face and trembling mouth.

"Baron! Go out and take a look, and find out what's going on. In my opinion, there must be at least two thousand soldiers.

Our wooden camp can't hold it back, and we should build a stone fort, sir! Keep some stone materials, don't sell them all!"

A sturdy knight in heavy armor advised in a not very polite tone.

"How do we pay the mercenaries? Oh, let's not talk about this for now, let's go and see what's going on.

How could Baron Simon come to fight me??

Is it to open up the road to the Ancient Tree Territory? Why is it so? I'll just let him go..."

Weir thought in frustration, but his steps were not slow. He soon reached the gate of the village. Looking outside, he was so scared that his legs and feet were sore.

Simon's army, with strict formations and flags, was indeed very impressive.

Especially the soldiers of the Guards, who walked in unison, as if they were cast from the same mold.

Weir saw it and was really shocked.

"Let's talk it over! Brother, why do you have to do this! I'll listen to you..."Weir summoned up the courage to shout.

Simon was a little confused at first, but soon realized that he had misunderstood.
