Start as Inherited Baroness

Simon raised his hand to say hello, and Airey, who was waiting in the distance, immediately followed with a few heavy infantrymen.

After a while, he saw Carlyle.

"What's wrong?" Simon asked.

"Sir Simon, the village chief of Xi'an Village in the west has a commission and wants us to destroy the bandit camp on Daojian Mountain.

My men were very moved by the reward of two hundred golden eagles.

If I refuse forcefully, they may become dissatisfied with me. The mercenary group relies entirely on profit. "

Carlisle called him aside alone and whispered, with a calm expression.

Simon nodded and said with a smile: "Is Xixi Village very rich? Can you pay two hundred golden eagles?"

“Although it’s a significant amount, they can still afford it if they squeeze in.

The strength of that group of bandits should not be weak, there must be dozens of them anyway. "

"Oh, then you go ahead, I can protect myself.

We'll camp next to Green Valley Avenue. Just come to me when you're done.

Don't capsize in the gutter. "Simon said indifferently.

"Sir Simon, you trust Ai Lei and others too much. They used to be mercenaries. As long as they have money, they can do anything."

Carlisle frowned.

"I know this well, do what you want to do." Simon said with a smile. This person didn't know the background of Ai Lei and others, so it was normal to be worried.

"Sir Simon, I will leave you with twenty people, all of whom can be trusted."

Hearing this, Simon was silent for a moment and said, "No, you'd better bring them. I don't think this is an easy task. Please bring more people."

People like me are also trustworthy. It was left to me by my cousin. "

He had to make up some ambiguous words to add a lot of mystery.

When Carlisle heard this, he no longer talked about keeping people, his eyes changed slightly, and he seemed to have something on his mind.

He originally thought that Simon had no foundation and could only trust him, but now more than forty elite soldiers appeared from nowhere.

In this way, Simon had his own power and secrets that he didn't know about, which broke many of his plans.

“Okay, in five days at most, I will bring people back.

Winnis and the servants rely on you to protect them. "Kyle said he doesn't think there's any danger in camping next to Green Valley Boulevard.

There are often caravans passing by on that road, and there are many people and no one would choose to do anything on the road.

"I wish you success!" Simon smiled.

"Thank you, sir!" After Kyler saluted, the two ended their conversation.

Simon took Airey and a few heavy infantry back to the camp. After a while, he saw the people of the Spear Mercenary Group gathering together.

In less than half an hour, they set off. It is said that the village chief of Xi'an Village paid half of the reward, a hundred golden eagles.

The money was immediately distributed by Carlyle, one golden eagle for each person, two for the leader, and three for each of the two deputies.

He himself didn't have much left, probably about five.

Simon currently has more than forty armed forces at his disposal, which are actually not weak at all. If they are all spread out, there will be quite a lot of people at a glance.

But he was still not at ease. After more than two hours, he took Airey and Sarit to the forest and summoned all the remaining soldiers in the column.

At this point, he had more than 120 soldiers on hand.

Among them were six heavy cavalry and fourteen light cavalry.

There were nine heavy infantry, twenty-one light infantry, eighteen longbowmen, and the rest were all militiamen and militia archers wearing leather armor.

When these people first came out, they were dazed and shook their heads for a while.

They all had amnesia, but they still recognized each other. After some explanations from Airey and Sarit, they understood the situation and became loyal to Simon.

After letting them get used to wielding their weapons for a while, Simon led them out of the forest.

At this time, Winnis came over with doubtful eyes and asked, "Simon, who are they?"

"They are all my soldiers, the legacy left to me by my ancestors." He said carelessly.

Winis was silent for a moment, then nodded. She was puzzled, but it was hard to get to the bottom of it.

"Yaman, you take fifty people to cut down some trees and build a fort. We will stay here for a few days." Simon ordered.

"Yes!" Yaman responded and led the militiamen carrying axes.

He didn't know which noble's territory this was, but he cut it down first and used it. Those prohibitions were only for civilians.

It’s Simon’s idea to wait until he is really discovered.

But later he learned that the woods near the Kingdom Avenue could be used by pedestrians and the nobles were not allowed to interfere, so his worries were in vain.

Time passed by, and the sky gradually darkened.

Simon finished studying with Winnis and started playing with thunder again.

After playing for a while, I almost lost control and wanted to open up, but after all, I was still concerned about the wide open space around me and being close to the main road.

He is not a generous person, only he can see it.

After a while, Yaman came over to report: "Sir Simon, the fortress has been initially built, and it can be further improved in the future."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Let Mader and Kailin stew two sheep for extra dinner tonight." He smiled and pulled Winnis towards the camp.

They are actually still a little afraid of being discovered by local lords cutting down trees.

Therefore, the location of the building is relatively hidden, with only one side facing the avenue, and the rest of the building being covered by the forest.

During these seven or eight hours, the militiamen really did not slack off. Under the command of Yaman, they built the camp in a decent manner.

It was all made of trees. The outermost layer of the double-layer log wall was more than three meters high. The whole was an inward-concave hexagon, enclosing seven or eight acres of land.

It was about fifty or sixty meters long and wide.

And on each of the six corners, there was a nearly five-meter-high watchtower, which could also be called an arrow tower.

The camp only had a wooden door facing the main road on the west side. In addition, there was a wooden house, which was not big either, with an area of ​​about twenty square meters inside.

This must have been prepared for Simon.

He was quite satisfied. Although the architectural style was very rough, it was already very good to be built in such a short time.

"No one is allowed to urinate or defecate in the camp during the day. Those who violated the order will be whipped five times.

In addition, build a toilet in the corner on the west side, and go there at night." Simon ordered immediately.

"Yes!" Yaman responded and immediately took people to prepare.

When it was almost dark, dinner was ready. Many torches were lit in the camp, and more than a dozen bonfires were also lit.

If there were two sheep for so many people, each person would not get much.

So only Simon's soldiers had mutton to eat, and the servants could only drink porridge and black bread, and at most a small spoonful of butter.

He and Winness naturally had everything, not only lamb legs, but also stewed chicken.

After a full meal, Simon pulled Winness to live in the wooden house.

She was very hesitant at first, but she couldn't resist Simon's pulling, and finally agreed to live together.

The other people in the team set up tents in the camp, and many experienced soldiers set up tents against the wooden walls.

In the wooden house, Simon took off his armor, asked the people outside to find a bucket of clean water, took off his clothes immediately, and washed them with linen cloth.

Winness blushed and wiped his back.

After he finished washing, he also helped Winness wash. While washing, in the quiet night, the sound of playing cards suddenly came...
