Stone Pass, inside the baron's mansion.
Although it seemed normal, it was also noticeable that the patrol team was a little more rigorous than usual.
Baron Dylan sat in his living room with an extremely gloomy expression.
It was noon now, the heat from the Nalun Desert mixed with his restless emotions, and there was a naked murderous intent in his eyes. His temper was already violent, but he just knew how to control it.
In front of him, the two vassal knights that Baron Dylan trusted the most were standing respectfully.
The two of them just came back from the desert.
At the same time, all those corpses were pulled back with a cart, and now they are placed in an open space outside the mansion, and they are declared to be soldiers who died in the battle against powerful demonized creatures.
Such treatment made Baron Dylan look a bit calm, looked at them and said, "Only you can make me feel at ease."
"Master Dylan, we all met a long time ago."
The two answered humbly.
Baron Dylan's eyes were even more gratified. Looking at these two comrades who had been with him since they were commoners, he sighed heavily, and his tone became extremely angry: "I believe you are right, other vassal knights, all They're all trash, you bastards who come to me to cheat food and drink, and want to lie to my village as a fief, stepping on me to climb up!"
Although he didn't know the cause and effect, he could guess to a certain extent.
Especially the four vassal knights who died in battle, they have been complaining about Baron Dylan not granting them a village recently.
"My lord, please don't say that."
A vassal knight dissuaded, and at the same time signaled to the outside, this word cannot be spread.
But Baron Dylan slapped the table heavily: "These 4 trash went to intercept Baron Kant, my dearest nephew, for what, don't I know? Don't they want to go to that old guy Viscount Wade?" Take refuge?"
"My lord, don't say these words." The other vassal knight was also discouraging.
Baron Dylan gasped angrily.
After a while for his temper to pass, he gritted his teeth and said, "These damn bastards, that's it."
Baron Dylan between the two vassal knights recovered and looked at each other with helpless wry smiles in their eyes.
Actually understand.
Princess Sophia's power has always been suppressed, even if they are only peripheral, they were once civilian soldiers.
But the nobles of the Lion Principality are still afraid of them, and even suppress them secretly, and they will never let them get in touch with the real core of power, or even the best fiefs and vassal knights.
When you can stumble, you will not be soft-handed, and it is even more normal to provoke discord.
No wonder Baron Dylan was so angry.
In the ten years since he came to Jianshi Pass, he has already been squeezed out by the nobles of the North County, which is extremely uncomfortable.
"My lord, what makes us strange is that we found the members of the Devil Fang Bandits."
The vassal knight opened his mouth and said with a frown: "This group of guys appeared near the Lion Mountain and the East County Death Penalty Mountain. Although their nest is in the North County, we all know that they will never come to our Stone Pass."
"Oh, because we are too poor?" Baron Dylan snorted coldly.
The vassal knight also shook his head helplessly, frowned and said, "But it's a bit strange to appear in the Nalun Desert."
But Baron Dylan's expression remained unchanged.
Lowering his head slightly, his voice was slightly hoarse: "Viscount Wayne didn't make the Devil's Fang Bandits. It seems that this damn guy can't hold back any longer and wants to get his hands on my rocky pass."
This bandit group active in North County is all targeting the immediate subordinates of South County and the Countess of East County.
There are a lot of silver coins there, not as barren as North County.
As for the backing, if there were no nobles from North County, this bandit group would have been wiped out many times, and Baron Dylan actually knew that the cavalry in this bandit group even had cavalry from the nobles of North County. !
Exhaling heavily, Baron Dylan squinted his eyes and said, "Pay attention to patrolling, it seems that someone has begun to infiltrate."
"Yes." The two vassal knights bowed their heads in response.
Stone Pass is his territory, and Baron Dylan will never tolerate anyone interfering.
Especially with the salt trade brought by Kant.
Baron Dylan clenched his fists, just wait, endure the current breath, when a large amount of silver coins appeared in his hand, what about the huge army armed, even Viscount Wayne of North County
This is a world that depends on strength!
... ... ...
Relative to this.
The basement of a wooden house in a slum.
The five hooded men had already placed the body of the beautiful woman in the white dress on the ground.
Candles flickered.
A dim light illuminated the pretty face of this beauty.
Big eyes, small red lips, delicate nose, fair face, and long light green hair.
With a beautiful figure with bumps and convexities, this is indeed a rare beauty in Beijun.
But there was a crossbow arrow between his eyebrows.
It looked like it was shot at close range, directly piercing the brow bone and piercing deeply into the brain.
The spy chief limped over.
Looking at the dead beauty quietly, he said in the usual tone, "Has everything been taken care of?"
He was talking about the battlefield in the desert, of course. The five hooded spies nodded immediately, and one of them replied, "They will only know that it was done by the Devil's Fang Bandits, and there is no clue left for us."
"Well, good." The spy chief nodded.
She limped back to her chair, and said with regret in her tone, "Miss Jacqueline didn't seem to be fooled by that Baron Kant. She really blinded us for years of training."
The five hooded spies did not dare to speak, but still stood respectfully.
"Don't stand up recently, just wait for the order quietly."
The spy chief waved his hand and said in a flat tone, "If you fail, you fail. It's not a big deal."
"Yes." Seeing the leader speak, the five spies nodded in understanding, turned around and quickly left the basement.
But after the silence, the spy chief's expression suddenly darkened.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, he was very angry.
The woman Jacqueline is a masterpiece he has cultivated for more than ten years. He has devoted countless efforts to this woman, just to catch a big fish, but now she has become a corpse, useless garbage.
"Baron Kant."
The spy chief narrowed his eyes and smiled darkly: "How much is left to you by Princess Sophia?"
He naturally thought wrongly, just like Baron Dylan.
How could a mere Kant, a baron who was exiled to the depths of the Nalun Desert, have such a strong cavalry guard? It was definitely funded by the background of his elders, and even the hidden forces of the Yinpan Kingdom.
He got up slowly and limped towards the next room.
He opened the cupboard and took out the crystal ball, and as the halo rose, he continued to truthfully report to those he was loyal to.
It's just that there is a big deviation in what he said.
No one knows about the time traveler, let alone Goldfinger, and no one knows what "Mount and Blade" is!
A series of misunderstandings formed inadvertently.
