Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

Carlos slowly descended and landed near the newly discovered dock.

Compared with the Vali Knight's dock in front of it, the one in front of me is very small and very crude. I'm afraid it can barely accommodate a ship of twenty or thirty meters in length.

Not far from the pier, a simple wooden shed was built. You can see that there are many logs of similar lengths stacked in the wooden shed.

"Generally speaking, goods from Waiheke Island are transported to the port in Valley, and then loaded onto ships. The timber here..."

Combined with what Knight Vali said before, "It has become increasingly difficult to get wood from the White Flower Club recently", Luo Ning guessed that the White Flower Club built this dock privately and had their own external communication channels to smuggle timber. .

In this way, relying on the supplies brought by the smuggling ship and the potatoes grown, they no longer needed Valli to provide food for survival, and they were freed from their shackles and became independent.

It's just that they didn't know that the news about Waiheke Island had reached the top so quickly, and that His Majesty the King personally sent people to deal with the matter.

After investigating the dock, Luo Ning flew into the air on Carlos and continued to investigate the residence of the White Flower Society.

Perhaps the ancestors of the White Flower Club were all criminals who were imprisoned in a centralized manner, or perhaps they needed to work intensively, so the houses here were relatively concentrated.

Although the further north you go, the more traces of deforestation you can find, but compared to the entire forest on Waiheke Island, the area deforested by humans only occupies a small area.

There are ample oak resources on this island.

After investigating the White Flower Society, Luo Ning went to fly around the Larn Society's residential area.

Comparing the two, Larnhui was more "honest". Not only did he not see any signs of eating potatoes, but there was also no trace of smuggling wood.

They negotiated terms with Vali, perhaps more for the purpose of eating more and asking for more.

After investigating all this, Luo Ning returned to the port.

While Luo Ning was investigating, Rucci, Missy and Vali had already started arranging tomorrow's offensive and defensive matters.

Relying on the advantage of the port's protective wall, even if the Larn Society's people come to seize the port, with the Reese Knights leading the defense, there shouldn't be a big problem.

Early the next morning, a team of nearly a hundred people gathered outside the port.

"If I had so many people, I would have captured those thorny heads from the Baihua Club!"

Vali looked at so many people and horses and felt confident for a moment.

In the past, when he went there, he was already at his limit when he could bring thirty people with him. In that case, there were so many people on the other side that he did not dare to go deep.

Now there are not only more people on our side, but also several Silver Knights and Royal Griffins. If any one of them is taken out, it will be almost difficult for the opponent to deal with them.

Luo Ning said with a smile: "In this operation, we are only targeting the leaders of the White Flower Club. As long as other people are not involved in the resistance, we don't have to raise our swords against them."

Vali nodded, "I understand, after all, someone still needs to do the work of cutting down the oak. If you kill one more person, there will be one less labor force, and the kingdom will lose a section of wood."

Luo Ning couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

It seems that Vali Knight has learned how to exploit the labor force after so many years of management.

Perhaps compared to the White Flower Society and the Larn Society, the descendants of the group of prisoners under Vali's direct management had a harder time.

After all, someone will eventually have to make up for the lumber Baihuahui owes.

Because Larn Club has a certain degree of autonomy and can still bargain, those directly under Vali's control can only work hard without complaint.

There were no horses and all but Missy were on foot on land.

Fortunately, although it is a mountain road, a major road has been built for transporting timber over the years, so it is quite convenient to walk.

Everyone walked towards the Baihua Club's territory in a swaggering and majestic manner.

While passing under a hillside, Missy from the air saw someone on the top of the mountain running quickly towards the inside. It seemed that they should be people arranged by Baihua to keep watch here.

With the speed of the gryphon, it would not be difficult to hunt down this person if she wanted to.

But according to Luo Ning's plan, even if the other party has sentries on duty, they should go back and report the news, and let the other party gather all the resisters, which will save him the trouble of interrogating and screening them one by one later.

Not long after, inside Baihuahui's cottage.

"Sir, Knight Vali is here with his people!"

The sentry scout brought the information back, "They came in larger numbers this time. I estimate there are hundreds of people."

At this time, two people were sitting above them. The one with a strong back and a scar on his face was Marcelo, the leader of the White Flower Society. On one side of him sat a bearded man.

The two looked at each other and Marcelo smiled and said: "Wali actually transferred most of the personnel stationed at the port at once. It seems that our neighbor is really anxious."

He didn't get the information from the port, and he didn't know that four ships arrived at Waiheke Island yesterday.

So he would think Vali came with all the guards.

The bearded man smiled and said: "He must be afraid that he will not be able to deliver enough goods many times in a row, which will cause dissatisfaction from above."

Marcelo nodded in agreement.

"Wally has been guarding this inhospitable place for seven or eight years. He only needs to persist for two more years to complete the task and leave Waiheke Island. If he cannot hand over enough wood in the last two years, he will be in trouble. The nobles above are not happy, and all his hard work over the years has been in vain."

Stationed on Waiheke Island, Vali's identity is a bit like the warden of an open-air prison. After completing ten years of guarding, you can get enough merit and reward. If you perform well, you may even be awarded a baron.

"We can't push him too hard. If he is too tough this time, we will promise him and transport him some wood."

Marcelo nodded, a less powerful Waiheke defender would be to their advantage.

"Come on, call everyone, let's go meet them."

The White Flower Club mobilized quickly. Two knights stood on a high place and roared, and a crowd of people gathered in the dark place.

Most of them wore rough linen clothes and tatters, and the weapons they held in their hands were not regular weapons, but machetes, axes, etc. for cutting down trees. Only the twenty or so people in front were either wearing iron armor or leather armor, and they looked like that.

These two dozen people were recently armed by Marcelo with the weapons and equipment provided by Clifford.

"Our core combat strength is still a little lacking." Marcelo couldn't help but worry, "If we have a head-on confrontation, I don't know if we can compete with Vali's knight team."

"Don't worry, they can't defeat us."

The bearded Clifford vowed: "I can tear his knight squad into pieces by myself."

Hearing this, Marcelo's worry was relieved.

"Yes, Vali is just a bronze knight. He can dominate in front of us, but facing a golden knight like you, he can only kneel down and beg for mercy."

The two parties walked towards each other and soon met in a small valley.

But when they got closer and saw the person coming, both Marcelo and Golden Knight Clifford were dumbfounded.

The other party was tall and tall, and both of them were wearing standard armor. The armor was higher-end than theirs at first glance.

"No, that's not right!"

Marcelo panicked, "This is not Vali's knight team!"

"What's going on?" Clifford asked in surprise.

On the other hand, Luo Ning pulled out the Flame Sword, and the anger on it swept over him, "Attack!"
