Start as Inherited Baroness

"How many people did they come in total?"

Simon frowned and asked, feeling a little strange in his heart. He didn't understand why the second sons of the nobles of the North Wind came here at this time.

"Sir, there are about three thousand people, and only ten nobles from the North Wind came." Sylde responded respectfully.

"Oh, there are quite a lot of people."

Simon had a vague feeling that they were not simply paying a visit, but probably wanted to make some request.

“Let them meet at the Lord’s Hall.

In addition, the city's patrol force and some guards and security force soldiers were gathered to practice battle formations at the training ground. "

Simon thought for a while and ordered.

"Yes! Sir!" Hilde took the order and left.

Simon also set off and rushed to the Lord's Hall, sat down at the main seat and waited.

Not long after, Hilde and Sarit walked into the lord's hall with a group of the second sons of the North Wind nobles and some strangers wearing armor.

"Greetings, Lord Baron!" Everyone saluted in unison.

"Well! Everyone, take your seats.

What's the matter with you working so hard today? Simon asked with a slight smile.

"Lord Baron, I do have something to report.

We have received accurate information that bandits such as the Greenwood Brotherhood in West Gedi are besieging Long Narrow Fort for more than half a month.

Although the surrounding lords sent reinforcements, they were all ambushed halfway and suffered heavy losses...

From what my subordinates have seen, the bandits in West Gedi are trying to open up a passage to West Cedi. We must be on guard and make plans in advance. "

Knight Saumur reported with a solemn expression. He had a scar on his cheek, which has now healed.

But the traces left behind gave it a fierce aura.

"So, you already have a plan? Let's hear it." Simon said calmly after hearing this.

"Lord Baron, we can no longer fight endlessly in the Three Mountains Territory. Under a common crisis, enemies can become friends."

Saumir smiled lightly and stopped talking after saying this.

As soon as he finished speaking, the unfamiliar warriors on the seats on the left stood up one after another and saluted Simon.

"Lord Baron! Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Trodo Ferris, the fifth son of the Earl of Obsidian City in Lingu, and I am willing to be loyal to you."

"The following is the second son of the Earl of Yanggu Castle in Xixi River, Kaililuo Romande. I am willing to be loyal to you. Please generously grant me a place to settle down..."

These people talked one after another and named their origins and backgrounds. Among them, the one with the lowest family strength was also the Viscount.

And there are all kinds of people, from the King's Territory, Forest Valley, Stormland, River Bend, West Hills and Streamlands.

Without exception, they were all the second sons of the family or illegitimate children with official status. The family provided some support and worked hard to start their own businesses.

"Where's Lederai from Greenstone City?" Simon glanced at them calmly and asked softly.

"Lord Baron, we know that he has a deep quarrel with you and have expelled him.

In addition, all the noble forces in the Sanshan Territory have arrived, and those who have not come will not come again. "

Saumir spoke meaningfully.

Simon nodded towards him, understanding immediately.

"It turns out that these guys are fighting because they are exhausted. After some elimination, a balance point has been reached. No one can do anything to anyone." He thought to himself.

"Okay, open the skylight and tell the truth. How did you divide the territory?"

Simon pondered for a moment, not wanting to waste time playing riddles with them, so he spoke bluntly.

"Lord Baron, after our painstaking discussions, this is the topographic map of our respective spheres of influence... Please take a look."

Trodo, who was born in the Earl family of Obsidian City, took out a parchment scroll from the pouch on his waist and handed it over.

Mailan immediately walked over and sent it to Simon.

He raised his hand and cast a poison detection spell. After checking that there was no problem, he spread it out and took a look.

After a while, he looked away expressionlessly and said, "Saumir, some of these places are my private territory, and some areas have been sealed off.

Didn't you exchange information? "

"Lord Baron, although according to our calculations, the Three Mountains Territory is about the size of nine standard mainland viscounties.

But there are twenty-one of us in total. It’s too few and there’s not enough space to share. You’d better leave some less territory.

In addition, the honorary knights under your command have not made any achievements and are really not worthy of receiving such rewards. "Saumir smiled slightly.

When Simon heard this, without saying a word, he threw the parchment into the air, then drew his sword and slashed, and the flames shot out in a half arc.

With a swish sound, the parchment was hit and burned into ashes in the air.

When the second sons of the nobles saw this scene, they were all stunned. After coming back to their senses, they all looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.

"Everyone! My soldiers are practicing battle formations on the training ground now, and I allow you to watch them together!"

Simon stood up with a cold face and strode out of the Lord's Hall.

The second sons of the nobles paused and then all followed.

"Saumir! What's going on?! He is actually an advanced knight? Why didn't you tell me?!"

Trodeau approached Saumir, who was behind the crowd, and asked quietly.

"I just found out too! Come on, follow me!"

Saumir frowned and gritted his teeth.

Trodeau did not respond, but looked very gloomy, with many thoughts in his mind, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Not long after, the group came to the high platform in front of the training ground and looked at the densely packed soldiers below.

Simon looked back and found that their expressions had changed drastically, and they no longer looked a little proud and complacent as before.

"Sarrit, start the drill!" He sneered and ordered.

"Yes! Baron!"

Sarrit answered loudly, then took the flag and issued an order.

Because there are more soldiers now, it is not possible to command smoothly by simply relying on flag language, so the horn was introduced.

"Woo-woo-" The long and wild horn sounded, which was the order to advance in formation.

"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!"

Wow! Wow! Wow! ! !

More than 5,000 soldiers followed their own square formations, raised their shields and spears, and marched forward for more than ten steps in unison, with uniform movements, as if they were one body.

The sound of footsteps landing all stepped on a line, and the muffled sound spread throughout the world.

When the second sons of nobles such as Somier and Trodo saw this scene, they were completely stunned and dumbfounded.

"How is it, is my army okay?"

Simon turned around and looked at them, grinning.

These nobles have been fighting in Sanshan Territory for so long, so it is understandable that they don't understand his current strength.

So he had to hold a military exercise to show off his muscles and give Somir and others a chance to reorganize their words.

"Elite, elite!" Somir said repeatedly with a smile on his face, and the others did the same, with smiles on their faces.

"Respected Baron! Please forgive my rash words just now, please forgive me!"

Somir lowered his head, hesitated and struggled for a while, but still raised his face to salute and smiled.
