Start as Inherited Baroness

"Brother! We are here to eliminate bandits this time, and we want to invite you to join us! Don't overthink it!" Simon shouted immediately.

…

After some explanations, Verrier finally dispelled some concerns.

He thought twice before opening the gate of the village and leading a hundred disciples and hundreds of mercenaries out to greet them.

He was still worried. After all, Simon had a criminal record and was not easy to deal with.

Everyone knows the cause of Baron Hela's death.

"Brother! What are you doing to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this?"

Verrill asked, daring to meet Simon.

“Three Mountain Leader bandits are running rampant now, and you know that.

A few days ago, I wiped out a group of thousands of bandits at the southern end of the Fearless Territory.

But they still don't know how serious it is. There have been attacks recently. However, they don't cross the river and just waste their time on the other side of the river.

I definitely didn't have that much time to accompany them, so I thought of using my brother's rock-pile collar to kill this group of bandits directly.

I hope that my brother can also lend a helping hand. After all, the bandits from the Sanshan Territory don't have to cross the river to come to you, which is much more convenient.

It is estimated that before long, you will also have a headache about this problem. "Simon said.

“So that’s it.

Don't worry about me, I will send troops with you.

But I heard that Sanshan has brought in several groups of powerful bandits these days. I'm afraid... some masters are causing trouble. "

Willier pondered for a moment and said this.

"I know what I'm afraid of. Just hit him with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches!

I'll talk to their leader first. If they don't understand, I'll kill them all without leaving a trace.

No matter how powerful those old nobles are, how much power can they project from thousands of miles away?

After all, the Three Mountains Territory is my territory, and I will definitely not let you play the main force. You can just lead the troops to threaten their flanks.

After the war, how about each collecting their own seizures? Simon smiled lightly and said calmly.

Verrill nodded solemnly, showed a smile that was almost flattering, and said: "Okay! I'll do it with you, and I will listen to you from now on!"

"We take care of each other, no matter who listens to whom..."

Simon said with a grin, but in his heart he felt that Verrill was very quick to lose his temper. He was really capable of stretching and singing. This kind of person is basically the sixth child.

When you develop and grow in the future, you'd better find an opportunity to kill him.

Simon doesn't want to have such an accomplished neighbor around him, who might get stabbed one day...

The barons on both sides talked for a while and were relatively harmonious. It didn't take long before they reached a consensus and agreed to send troops immediately.

Soon, Verrill brought some baggage and food, ordered 600 soldiers, and followed Simon's army to the south.

By two or three o'clock in the afternoon, we were approaching the junction of Duishi Ling and Sanshan Ling.

There happens to be a gentle slope here, which blocks the view. Simon and his party cannot see the robbers, and the robbers cannot see them.

However, he had already sent out scouts to detect the enemy's movements, so he still camped by the river and did not move.

However, some rafts appeared in the river and on the shore, and it was obvious that the robbers still wanted to cross the river.

Based on this information, Simon was mentally prepared for battle.

The army stopped behind the gentle slope and did not continue to advance.

"Salit, order the soldiers to eat immediately and replenish their strength." Simon ordered.

"Yes! Lord Baron!" Sarit immediately went to convey the order.

"Mailan, take out the dried venison and give it to the soldiers of the Guards, one pound per person, and feed it to all the horses..."

After about half an hour, when all the soldiers had eaten and drank, Simon ordered the team to move on.

Instead of dividing the troops, he led the guards and patrols directly to the bandits and met with their leader.

Knight Sylde led the Eastern Guards to outflank the enemy from the east, as did Baron Verrill.

The east side of the bandit camp is relatively open, and there is nothing blocking the view within one thousand meters.

So this is a clear-cut outflank, there is no advantage of a surprise attack, it's all about overwhelming others with force.

It didn't take long for Simon to lead his army outside the bandit camp.

The robbers were in a mess, and it was obvious that at least half of them were afraid.

However, the other half are well-trained, have well-founded responses, and are not panicked, which is a huge contrast.

Seeing this situation, Simon immediately knew that these half of the people should be the elite sent by the nobles.

The true identity of this bandit leader is most likely the illegitimate son of a nobleman. It is estimated that the second son will not do such dirty work.

It didn't take long for the robbers to form their formation and attack them.

The seven or eight people in the lead were all wearing heavy armor, and there were even two wearing heavy scale armor.

The bandit leader Yiser was wearing a set of plate and chain armor, with his chest shining brightly, which was very conspicuous.

And the five hundred well-disciplined bandits behind him were all wearing iron-clad light armor.

Although these armors are somewhat worn and uneven, their protective capabilities will not be compromised too much.

Simon was a bit torn. On the one hand, he wanted these five hundred pieces of armor, but on the other hand, he was worried that his side would suffer too many casualties in a fight.

"Is that Baron Simon Hollen from the Valorous Territory opposite!?" The robber shouted first.

"Yes, this is Lord Simon!" Sarit responded on his behalf.

"Okay! Now that the rightful owner is here, let's say whatever we have to say! Give up the castle on the other side of the river! Let's not offend the river!"

A strong bandit leader shouted loudly.

"Ask them if they have any other requests." Simon said softly with a stern face.

"Yes! Sir!

Do you have any other requests!?" Sarit shouted again.

The bandits paused, as if they had discussed something, and shouted: "Hand over another thousand baskets of food and a hundred women!!"

"Hehe..." Simon couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha..." Sarit and others also laughed mockingly.

After a while, Simon suddenly stopped smiling and ordered in a cold voice: "Kill, leaving no one alive!

Sarit! You will command the battle and minimize casualties."

"Yes! Baron!

Prepare to attack!!" Sarit shouted immediately.

The soldiers immediately formed a formation, with spearmen in front, archers in the back, and cavalry waiting behind the left wing.

"Prepare for battle!" Leader Iser also shouted arrogantly, and 500 elite soldiers immediately formed a formation.

The other bandits stood in a scattered manner, just howling, with very poor discipline, but they had all the weapons in their hands.

Not long after, the two sides advanced to a certain distance.

"Shoot!" Sarit ordered.

Suddenly, hundreds of arrows flew through the air.

"Raise the shield!" Isser immediately roared, took the lead in half-crouching, and raised the half-body shield above his head.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh... tremble...

"Ah!"

"My feet, ah..."

Many arrows pierced the shield, but some slipped through the net and drilled into the flesh through the gap.

This wave of arrow rain did not cause much damage to the elite bandits, but dozens of scattered bandits were shot to death, wailing.

"Shoot! Shoot half of the arrows!" Sarit ordered when he saw this.

Soon, hundreds of arrows were thrown out again...
