"Master, are you sure this is the priest sent to us? Why do I feel that he is not like apostle of God at all?" Ron turned his head and looked at the parish priest Hamish Matthew who was crawling on the back of the black mule and was drunk.

Hamish had been following Yat's team to the south for three days. When he first met Yat and the others, the guy maintained the seriousness and meditation of a clergyman, but as he got farther and farther away from Lucesen, his nature began to be exposed. At first, he just hid aside while resting alone, which was harmless. Slowly, the Hamish and Angus, the alcoholic guy, got into a group. Both of them had special hobbies for wine, especially strong ale, but this guy named Hamish had a bad alcohol tolerance. He began to get drunk before he had drunk a few large glasses of ale. He ignored the solemnity of a clergyman and often fell asleep.

As a result, he got drunk all the way. This guy spent the time he was on the road and then got drunk. Everyone in the walk agreed that Yat was deceived by the dean of the monastery. This was simply a drunkard who was casually pulled from the street and shaved his hair and stuffed it to them for counting.

But there are two people who have different views on this straightforward priest. One is Angus. He has worked as a sergeant in the Holy Corps and has many interactions with the clergy in the church. He hates the most of those hypocritical clergy. He doesn't know how many decay things have been done behind the "saints" who have a serious face all day long. On the contrary, this straightforward guy is the real "cultivation". Another person who likes this priest is Yat. During the days when he came into contact with Hamish, he found that this unruly guy is actually a well-educated man. He has a very thorough understanding of the doctrine of the Bible.

However, the leaders of the valley needed a clergy who looked like an apostle to bring the light of God to everyone, so Yat still had to find a way to change this guy's unruly personality, at least to maintain the appearance of a God's apostle in front of the believers.

Yat looked back at Hamish who was sleeping on the black mule, and smiled and said to Ron, "He is definitely an extremely pious messenger of God."

In the city of Tignets, the guards rushed into the lord's hall to report to Viscount Pierre in the sentry cavalry found a team of more than ten cavalry three miles outside the city walking towards the city.

"Did that team hit the flag?" Viscount Pierre asked calmly.

"The whistleblower said he didn't see clearly, it seemed to be a black-bottomed emblem flag, and all the cavalry were wearing black cloaks."

"Black-backed emblem flag, black cloak, is that guy back?" Pierre said to himself.

"Okay, it shouldn't be the enemy. Just let the guards in the North City be cautious, and there is no need to close the city gate." Pierre said as he put on a bearskin jacket, tied his belt and hung his sword to the office room and asked the guard to step on his horse and run towards the north gate...

Pierre climbed to the top of the city, raised his hand and looked at the cavalry team that was getting closer and closer. He gradually saw the square flags and emblems of the cavalry team. He waved his hand to the captain of the city guard beside him and said, "It's the patrol team. That guy Yat has been promoted to a knight. He will bring him into my office later..."

…………

"Yat, you didn't disappoint me! I know you can make a contribution on the battlefield." Pierre handed over a glass of wine to Yat, who was sitting opposite the office table, then picked up his glass and touched it gently, and drank it all in one go.

"So, now I should call you the Att Knight?"

"Mr. Viscount, I should thank you. If you hadn't given me a chance, I would have cleared out the bandits on the border." Yat said sincerely.

Viscount Pierre shook his head with a smile.

"You said you have two fiefs? One of them is Wincheston Manor?"

"No, Wincheston Manor has been granted to Dean, and my fief is a tax card at the southern border bridge and a canyon wasteland on the east side of the southern Carmel Mountains."

"I also guessed that Wincheston Manor could not be granted to you. Three months ago, Dean's father had already started to move around, and even he had come here. The land around Wincheston Manor was fertile. If you could meet a shrewd lord, you would definitely be able to become another wealthy manor. But even if you can't get Wincheston, you shouldn't be granted a few pieces of wasteland? Is your fief too much? "Pierre didn't say the following, because it's useless to say more things that are now set.

Pierre changed the subject and said, "You don't have to be too disappointed. After all, being promoted to a knight and being enfeoffed is lucky for a civilian who has just been enthroned for a trainee knight. I read your documents. You are still the official of the Southern Palace Prefecture. The palace ordered the city of Tignes to support the five regular soldiers of your patrol team. I agreed to this, but if you take my money and food, you have to do your patrol team. You have to let your patrol team perform.

Its due role. Recently, the bandits and bandits in the south took advantage of the war in the east and were very rampant. In late autumn last year, a caravan from the north was robbed by a group of robbers in a birch forest south of Ryan Manor. Eight people were killed on the spot and the goods they brought were also robbed. Afterwards, I took people to check it out. The trauma of the deceased was almost deadly everywhere. These guys were not ordinary people. I suspected they were deserters or bandits."

"If we were talking about the same group of people, I had contacted that group of robbers. At that time, I had just taken office as the inspector. I was also in the birch forest and was chased by the robbers for a whole afternoon. In the end, I took advantage of the darkness to avoid their pursuit. Those guys had extraordinary combat power and strict military discipline. I also guessed that they were from the army at that time." Yat recalled the scene of being chased by a group of hungry wolves at that time. The feeling of being chased and bitten by a group of hungry wolves was still fresh in his memory.

"Now there are six large groups of bandits and more than ten small bandit bandits in the county. They are mainly entrenched around the two routes of the north and south trade routes and the east and west horse carriage lanes. Every hill and dense forest may be their nest. Now, in addition to looting passers-by, traders, and even began to openly loot some small manor settlements. After most of the troops were sent to the East, I had only more than one hundred garrison troops in the city of Tignets, and I could not send all the garrison troops to clear out the bandits. Since you are back now, I will leave this matter to you to care about. In addition to regularly supplying you with military pay and food,

I will also allocate you ten iron-headed winged spears, ten shields, five armed swords, two ox horn bows, three sets of leather armor and two thousand Finney military pay. In addition, I will also send you the order of all military forts and villages in the county to cooperate with you to eliminate bandits. As long as you can collect security taxes from the lords' wallets, you will do it. I only need you to pay me thirty heads of bandits before the autumn harvest of wheat. How about it?" Pierre was already annoyed by the raging bandits in the county. These guys walked through the mountains and dense forests and valleys, and had nowhere to go. Pierre sent troops to clear out several minions and returned in vain.

"Since I have taken over the position of a patrol officer, I will definitely be loyal to my duties. Moreover, Lord Viscount is so generous, I will live up to the high expectations of the court and the Lord. After returning from the battlefield this time, I plan to form a special patrol team, dedicated to clearing out bandits in the county and opening up the business roads in the north and south. I will accept all the weapons you allocated to you, and I also want to make two small requests to you." Att originally planned to continue training the army to clear out bandits, and now he can get the support of Viscount Pierre.

Viscount Pierre was also a straightforward person, saying, "I can only give you so many weapons and armor. I am even short of soldiers than you. I try to squeeze money and food as much as possible. If there are more, I will go hungry. Just say the rest, I will do my best to satisfy you."

"I will not speak about weapons, money, food and soldiers anymore. I want you to allow me to do two things. The first is to allow me to recruit young and strong refugees in the county. I now have my own knight territory. I need people to go to the valley to open up land and farm for me."

"No problem, I agree."

"The second request is that I want to find a garrison camp for the patrol team, located in a pile of huge rocks next to the North and South Train Road twenty miles south of Ryan Manor, which is close to the trade road and at the intersection of the North and West Train Roads, so that the patrol team can send troops around to patrol and maintain public order.

"That place is in the ownerless wasteland, and the patrol team assigned to you can also garrison the patrol team, but there is no arable land or woods around it. I am afraid that if you are stationed there, you will even need to transport firewood to make fire and cook from afar."

"I will solve these things myself."

"That's fine, I agree to this condition too."

"Thank you, sir!" Att stood up and bowed gently to Viscount Pierre.

"You go to the clerk's place to hand over the documents, and I won't send them to you. You can leave yourself." Viscount Pierre put down his cup and said.

…………

"Ron, take a few people to recruit young and strong refugees outside the city. This time I only have young and strong, and it is best to be a lonely man. If there are half-aged refugees, you can also recruit them. In addition, I will send someone to the city to buy some fine iron for forging weapons."

"Master Sergeant, follow me to the arsenal to collect the weapons and equipment allocated to us by Viscount Pierre. We will expand our army in the future. Now we can prepare more."

Yat left the hall and ordered Ron and Angus who were waiting outside the gate as he walked.

One day later, thirteen cavalrymen protected a black-robed priest and led a dozen young and strong refugees to the south with a batch of weapons and equipment and a small amount of food and food.

The next itinerary was not smooth. As Viscount Pierre said, several waves of shadows appeared around the team along the way, but because the team had more than a dozen cavalry guards, the guys ran away from a distance.

"Sir, that group of robbers must not be ordinary people. I saw that there were people riding war horses behind them, directing and following them." Angus caught up with Yat, who was walking in the team leader.

"Of course they are not ordinary bandits, the person you see is the butler of Ryan Manor." A trace of murderous intent flashed in Yat's eyes.

"Ryan Manor? Sir, are you talking about those robbers being played by Joe, the man from Ryan Manor?" Angus couldn't believe it.

"Yes, I can't remember the appearance of that fat housekeeper."

"Master Sergeant, you have never seen the cruel appearance of that manor. Our whole family fled here with the refugee brigade. The manor directly led his troops to plunder and slaughter the refugees. If we hadn't run fast, we would have become a pile of bones or dying serfs in the manor." Ron was still worried about his experience outside Ryan's manor.

"Sir, since it's a group of bastards, I'll take someone to catch that guy and kill that guy!" Angus was bored by others all the way, and had long wanted to rush over and slash the tail like hungry dogs.
