Start as Inherited Baroness

Two days passed in a flash.

On this day, it was time to set off for Changxiang Territory.

This place is located in the northeast of Yongyi Territory, a little closer than Morning Star City.

It would take no more than a month to go back and forth if nothing happened.

However, because there were more soldiers this time, the amount of food and grass they carried increased instead of decreased.

Fifty or sixty carriages were used just to pull goods.

In the Lord's Hall, Simon had breakfast and, with the help of the servants, put on the knight's plate armor and lined it with thick clothes to keep out the cold.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that just one day ago, he finally upgraded again, reaching level seven, and gained another strengthening point.

He originally wanted to add it to Dou Qi or Du Yu, but thinking about going to the meeting this time, he kept it for now, maybe it would be useful.

Assign it when something happens.

Among the skills on the panel, the most powerful ones should be Dou Qi and Du Yu at present.

The former is to improve one's own strength and increase lifespan, while the latter is to expand the team column and increase the number of legions that can be added.

In terms of final combat power, command is still more powerful.

After all, in this low-magic world, even if a person is made of iron, how many nails can he hammer? One hundred? Three hundred?

Unless facing weak arms such as conscripted militia, no matter how strong the individual's force is, it can't turn the world upside down.

And although fighting spirit can increase strength, it does not increase physical strength.

In other words, after the fighting spirit is exhausted, there is no strength addition, and the subsequent battles rely entirely on physical support.

Therefore, many old guys above the bronze knight, who have perseverance and willpower, usually cultivate their bodies to the level of gold warriors.

As long as the resources are available, there is basically no bottleneck in the warrior profession.

Unless it is congenitally deficient, if you practice more for a few days and don't lack meat, you can always reach the peak.

Just as Simon was browsing the panel, the door of the lord's hall was suddenly knocked.

"Baron, the team is ready and can set off at any time." Mai Lan's voice sounded.

Simon heard this and immediately went out, saying, "Let's go!"

"Yes!" Mailan responded.

He had already visited Winnies, Kailin, Bara and others before, so he didn't need to worry about them now.

Not long after, he rode his warhorse and walked out of Spark Castle with the team.

During this period, Mad arranged for carpenter slaves to build more than 20 ferries, so Simon and his team didn't have to wade through the water anymore.

Crossing the river by boat is much more convenient than before, and there is no need to find a shallow place to cross the river.

In less than an hour, all the people, horses and baggage crossed the river and arrived at the Stone Territory.

Simon took out the map, compared the direction, and followed the dirt road that some caravans had walked out of and headed east.

Five or six days passed in a blink of an eye.

Except for some wild beasts attacking at night, there were no accidents along the way, and even orcs were not encountered.

It is probably because there are not many large forests in this area, and there is a lack of habitat and hiding places, so naturally there is no commotion.

However, on this day, when Simon's team walked to a valley, they found some problems.

Sarit, who was exploring the way ahead, sent someone to report: "Baron! There is a group of bandits besieging the noble caravan ahead!"

"The whole team stops moving!" Simon shouted immediately after hearing this.

"Stop moving!" Some guards such as Mailan went to convey this order.

"Form a defensive formation, and the guards will follow me to see."

Simon said immediately.

"Yes!" Mailan and others responded and took action.

After a while, Simon led a hundred people to meet Sarit, who was exploring the way ahead.

"Baron, you see, there are about 150 bandits, and the guards of the caravan are only 50 or 60, but their weapons and equipment are stronger.

It should have been fighting for a while, and the caravan doesn't seem to be able to hold on for too long..."

Sarit introduced the situation in the valley ahead.

The terrain here is actually not dangerous. The hills on both sides are relatively flat and not high, at most 200 to 300 meters.

To be honest, this is not a good place to set up an ambush, but the bandits can't say so much.

After finally encountering a caravan with weaker guards, they immediately started to attack.

Simon observed carefully for a moment and recognized that the caravan was carrying a noble flag, which belonged to the Baron family of Black Bee Town in the Forest Valley.

This noble family produces honey, but other than that, it is ordinary.

Simon immediately lost interest.

But then he thought, this is also the beginning of making friends with other nobles. Today, the Baron family of Black Bee Town will always owe a favor to them for helping.

Although it may not be of practical use, it is just a small effort. Simon and his men also want to take this road, so why not?

"Prepare for battle and kill this group of bandits!"

He observed for a while and ordered after confirming that the bandits' equipment was very ordinary.

At this time, the bandit leaders were holding knives and swords, and they kept laughing obscenely around the caravan.

Because, in this caravan, there are two noble women, who look much prettier than ordinary farm girls.

Just looking at their fair and smooth skin and towering breasts, they are hot all over and can't help themselves.

This group of robbers has just arrived not long ago, and they don't see other people on weekdays.

It's been a long time since they last saw a woman, even a sow would probably be mistaken for Diao Chan.

Not to mention, these two noble women are indeed quite pretty.

"Kill! Whoever rushes in first, let him be the first in line!" The hairy robber leader shouted with a big laugh.

"Kill..."

The minions shouted happily, but they were still very cautious in their attack, holding wooden shields and spears, gradually shrinking the encirclement.

It took a while for a guard to be stabbed to death by the random spears.

However, it was usually accompanied by many casualties of the bandits, and the line that was finally shrunk would be much more relaxed.

"Miss, the bandits can't rush in now, but if there is no support, they will be surrounded and killed sooner or later!

Here are a few travel horses. We will fight to the death later. You can ride on the horses and find a chance to escape. It can be regarded as my repayment of the Baron's kindness!"

The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man with brown hair of medium height, wearing a slightly rough heavy armor, and said with determination on his face.

"Okay! Now we can only fight! If we can't escape, we will end it ourselves! We will never tarnish the reputation of the Peel family!"

"Sister, woo woo... I'm afraid..." The two young girls were guarded in the center by the guards.

One was more charming, and the other looked lively and cute.

The older one was about 17 or 18 years old, and the younger one was just about 16.

The two looked very similar, with little difference, but their personalities were completely different.

"Miss! Let's start!

You bunch of gays! Die!" The caravan leader shouted, and immediately led the guards to charge.

At this time, Simon's soldiers were also in place, hiding in the withered bushes hundreds of meters away to the west.

He didn't rush to take action, and it didn't matter if he let the caravan guards fight the robbers first.

At this time when the noble caravan was out of ammunition and food, and on the verge of life and death, it would be easier to gain friendship.
