In the eastern part of Randall Territory, on the outskirts of a forest, two groups of people were facing each other a hundred meters apart.

One side has a large number of people and well-equipped armor. They have swords unsheathed, bows and crossbows cocked, and they point murderously at their opponents. The atmosphere is tense and dignified as if they are facing a powerful enemy. On the other hand, although there are only 5 people on the other side, they are only wearing simple clothes.

Wearing leather armor, he was surrounded by more than 100 soldiers, but he regarded his opponents as nothing, appearing calm and calm.

The rumble of horse hooves came from the west, boosting the morale of the dominant side, but the five people remained unmoved. Soon, more than 100 capable cavalry arrived at the scene of the incident, and they surrounded the two

The nobles walked to the edge of the encirclement. A warrior, whose whole body was covered in adamantine armor like a steel monster, came forward. He pushed away his mask and saluted: "Sir, you are here."

Victor nodded and said to his top general: "Nelson, this is Viscount Tennis, the tax collector of the kingdom. You have met him."

Nelson quickly saluted Tenis next to him: "Sir Viscount, it's a great honor to see you again."

"Lord Nelson, there is no need to be polite. I heard that knights invaded Randall territory, so my colleagues and I came here to have a look." Tenis nodded towards Nelson reservedly.

Victor asked: "Nelson, what's going on? Where is our patrol? Are there any survivors?"

Nelson shook his head sadly and led Victor aside. On the ground, there were 15 corpses covered by white cloth. The pungent smell of blood and the outlines under the white cloth told Victor clearly,

All these guards were split into two pieces and died extremely tragically.

Nelson said: "The 15 patrol soldiers did not show up at the post on time. I brought people over to check and saw those people burying the bodies. Then, we surrounded them. After negotiation, these people admitted that they had killed the patrol soldiers.

, the body was also returned to us. They also asked for an interview with you, but I didn’t dare to make the decision, so I sent someone to report the situation here to you.”

Victor's face was expressionless, but he was hurt and angry inside. These 15 soldiers were ordinary guards. They had followed Victor for more than two years and were loyal to him. Their sacrifices were a great loss to the Randall family.

The guards of the Randall family are all farmers. They do not receive military training from childhood like the vassal children, and their martial arts skills are very average. Victor does not expect them to have much fighting power, as long as they are loyal enough and have a strong will.

They only need to know how to cooperate and command, and can boost morale. Victor positions them as grassroots non-commissioned officers.

In the event of a war, Victor can arm 5,000 militiamen with the most sophisticated equipment, but in order to unleash the combat effectiveness of the militiamen and inspire their courage, they must have non-commissioned officers who are proficient in tactics. These guards play such a role.

There are currently more than 8,000 people in Randall Territory, including more than 3,000 young militiamen, and only 250 family guards. According to the practice of 30 farmers supporting one family guard, Randall Territory should have 300 guards, but Vick

There was too much time to rise. He only had more than 800 members under the work-point system, and selecting 250 guards from them was already the limit. If 15 guards died at one time, Victor would have no place to replace them.

Victor had the idea of ​​selecting bodyguards from among the free people, but quickly rejected it. The vassal class was the lord's minions. Not only did they have to be fierce and sharp, but the most important thing was to be able to use their fingers like an arm. The vassals worked for their lord and

It is not uncommon for the church to engage in armed warfare. This is why the church never cares about the life or death of its vassals. The church has a great influence on the free people. The free people often go to the church to pray and tell the priests about trivial things.

To protect the interests of the lords, they might as well believe that sows can grow into trees. Unless Victor restarts the work-point system that represents the interests of free people, it is more reliable to honestly train mountain mercenaries.

"Let's go! Let's go see who they are?" Victor gritted his teeth and walked towards the encirclement.

The guards made a way, and the five people also looked this way. Victor looked at them, and his eyes couldn't help but tighten.

These five men looked extraordinary. Even when faced with hundreds of heavily armed soldiers and dozens of gleaming crossbows, they appeared calm and composed. They wore old leather armor, and four of them held a shield in one hand and a heavy sword in the other.

, surrounded by a man, and the man in the middle raised his hands in the air, with a silver-white knight's giant sword stuck on the ground beside him.

Seeing the weapons in their hands, Victor finally understood why Nelson confirmed that they were knights.

Heavy Sword, this amazingly powerful weapon is designed to fight against large orcs. The sword is 1.8 meters long and weighs 40 pounds. The sword head is round and blunt, and the blade is sharp. It can cut a centaur in half, any light or heavy mail armor and

Large and small shields will only be cut like bread. However, the heavy sword is very heavy and difficult to control. A strong soldier needs to hold the sword with both hands to swing it, but the four people on the opposite side only hold the sword with one hand, and the sword body glows with purple luster.

Those are the characteristics of adamantine weapons, and these are enough to explain the problem.

Victor silently observed their elemental attributes, and was even more surprised. Among these five people, there were two knights and two trainee knights, and the man in the middle had all four attributes of 15 points, and was only heavily weighted by the void element.

Only with body shaping can he have such balanced extraordinary attributes. He is undoubtedly a great knight.

"Lord Austin Buryat!?" Viscount Tennis exclaimed.

When Austin saw Viscount Tennis next to Victor, he immediately became depressed.

Two days ago, Williams' confidant butler personally brought a secret letter, and Austin learned of the changes. That night, Mrs. Judy stole the letter and fled with the family heir Primo.

Yehliu City. This incident prompted Austin to make up his mind to get rid of Judy and her son. He led his henchmen to track and caught up with Judy's carriage outside Randall Territory, but only captured the rebellious guard, while Judy

Mother and son were not inside. After some torture, the guards confessed that Judy and her son had sneaked into Randall's territory disguised as free people.

Austin had no choice. He left his personal guards at the border and only brought four of his trusted knights into Randall Territory, hoping to quietly kill Judy and her son in the wild. But as soon as he entered Randall Territory, he ran into

They intercepted Victor's patrol, and in order to keep it secret, they had to kill all the patrol soldiers. However, just as they were disposing of the corpse, they were caught by the Randall family's army.

Austin felt that he must have suffered bad luck. The escape of Judy and her son was originally a good opportunity to get rid of them, but what he didn't expect was that they encountered a patrol as soon as they entered Rand Territory. They killed people here and killed them there.

Blocked by the Randall family's army. So many coincidences completely failed Austin's assassination plan.

Austin knows that this is not a coincidence at all. Their every move is in the eyes of the Alchemy Crow. The defense system of the Randall Territory is extremely tight. The Alchemy Crow patrols the territory and anyone who sneaks in will be caught by the patrolling soldiers.

Sent to repair the reservoir. However, the alchemical crows could not tell the difference between knights and free folk, which led to the complete annihilation of the patrol.

The assassination plan has gone bankrupt, and even the Grand Knight cannot think of annihilating more than 100 elite soldiers at once. Austin did not choose to break out. He hoped to make a deal with Viscount Randall and spend some money to exchange for Judy and her son. Although

The means of killing the family heir will fall into the hands of the York family, but it is better than nothing.

Austin was confident in persuading Victor because he decided to secretly join the York family. Even if the matter was exposed and the royal family took revenge, the York family would be able to protect him and maybe get a new territory in the Centaurs' Hills. As for those who were captured

Austin did not consider killing the guards at all. However, the appearance of the palace nobles representing the royal family made Austin's plan fail again.

This time, it’s really a coincidence!

"Your Excellency Austin, can you explain what happened here?" Viscount Tennis asked suspiciously.

Austin had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Viscount Tennis, I didn't expect to meet you here. Mrs. Judy and Master Primo were kidnapped by a group of people and brought to Randall's territory. I led people to follow them, but they were

Ambush, you have seen what happened. I hope Viscount Randall can give me an explanation!"

Victor was like a mirror in his heart. He knew very well about the Buryat family's title dispute. Judy and her son must have disappeared. It is very likely that they sneaked into the village of Randall through the border post, and Austin

It's here to cut the weeds and root them out.

"Lord Austin, you said that I sent people to kidnap Mrs. Judy and the Buryat family heir. Do you have any evidence? You, on the other hand, dressed up in disguise and carried a decapitating sword, sneaked into Randall territory and killed my soldiers.

, What exactly are you planning on doing? Do you think we are fools?!" Victor said sarcastically.

Austin said calmly: "Maybe it was because Mrs. Judy admired Sir that she took Master Primo into Randall's territory. Mr. Randall, Mrs. Judy can stay, but I must take the family heir back!

"

Tenis also saw that Austin was accusing Victor of interfering in the internal affairs of the Buryat family, while Victor accused Austin of intending to murder the family heir. Tenis was not sure whether the York family had interfered with the Buryat family.

The inheritance of the Art family, but it is certain that Austin does have bad intentions.

As for the ambiguous relationship between Mrs. Judy and Victor, Tenis simply doesn't believe it. Although Mrs. Judy is famous far and wide, in terms of appearance, style, nobility, and bloodline, how can she be compared with Sylvia.

Moreover, everyone thinks that Victor is Sylvia's forbidden love, and no one believes that Victor dares to have sex with Sylvia behind her back.

What Austin said was nothing more than an excuse and a step. In fact, many families started disputes in this name. When a lord attempted to seize a neighbor's territory, he would use the other party's excuse to seduce his wife to start a war.

No matter who loses or wins, it's all for the woman, not the territory. In this way, both parties have steps to climb down, and the lord's wife will only be complacent about it.

Austin didn't know that this was what Victor couldn't bear in particular.

Victor has two memories. The one he identifies with most is the memory on Earth, and he has established his values ​​based on it. The past of the little baron makes Victor feel even more humiliated.

There is no concept of male superiority and female inferiority in this world. The status of a noble has nothing to do with gender. It only depends on background, power, bloodline and strength. The young baron awakened the elven blood and could not become a knight, but his appearance and figure were better than the Silver Knight, which made him favored by women.

Coveted by the great nobles. Victor looked through the memories of the young baron. He was trained in "court etiquette" by at least four female nobles in the palace. He was not protected until the young baron married Sophia, but his identity as a male favorite has been

It spread among the aristocratic circles until today. How could Victor endure this?!

Victor originally planned to weigh the gains and losses, but now he just wants to use Austin's life to calm his anger and spread the reputation of the Randall family.

"Sir Austin, you not only killed my soldiers, but also slandered my reputation. Only with your blood can I wash away my shame. Let's fight to the end!" Victor said coldly.

Austin did not expect Victor to be so decisive. He had to suspect that this was a trap set by the York family. Austin hesitated for a moment and tested: "As far as I know, the Randall family does not have knights. You

Are you prepared to pit Lord Nelson against me?"

Victor sneered: "I'm talking about a decisive battle, not a duel between knights. If you think it's unfair, you can bring all your personal guards here. Aren't they just ambush 5 kilometers away?"

Austin's heart trembled, and he became more and more sure that he had been ambushed by the York family. He said: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding here, I..."

"No misunderstanding! Either you can try to break out and wait for the church's trial for murdering the family heir. Or, bring your personal guards over and have a fair fight with these men of mine. If you win, you can search

If my territory loses, then there is no need to think about other things!" Victor turned to Turnis and asked: "Viscount Turnis, I hope you can bear witness."

Tenis was not optimistic about Victor, and he knew very well how terrifying the Silver Knight was. But as a court noble loyal to the royal family, Tenis had no reason to stop this decisive battle. The fight between the Buryat family and the York family was in the interest of the royal family.

Tennis believed that Austin did not dare to hurt Victor, and Victor could not hurt Austin. No matter how many of the guards below died, it would only weaken their control over the territory, which would be more beneficial to the royal family.

Thinking of this, Tenis sighed and said: "Viscount Randall, personally, I don't want you to fight. It's best for the royal family to mediate. But if you insist, I will do what you want."

."

"I insist!" Victor said resolutely.

Austin nodded and said indifferently: "In that case, I do as you wish! However, I still hope that you can hand over Primo to me, and you will definitely gain my friendship."

"That's unnecessary!" Victor smiled contemptuously, waved his hand and ordered: "Let them go!"

The guards moved aside and quickly formed a square formation in front of Victor. Austin took a deep look at Victor and led his men eastward.

Tenis and his colleagues gathered on the other side. They did not expect to see such a good show when they came out to collect taxes. These noble children excitedly discussed the etiquette and significance of family decisive battles.

Nelson also squeezed the ax excitedly and asked Victor: "Sir, what if they don't dare to come?"

"Don't you dare to come? Let's fight over!" After Victor finished speaking, he called a guard and ordered: "Release the dust falcon and let the village chiefs find Mrs. Judy and her son!"

The guard took the order and went down. Nelson asked from the side: "Sir, how do we fight?"

Victor smiled and patted his shoulder armor and said: "First change into a pair of Ant-Man armor. Then, annihilate them all!"

"Like the Ant-Slayer leader?"
