Start as Inherited Baroness

"Lord Baron! The enemy launched a surprise attack and captured our camp next to Moon Lake!

Since Knight Keraf withdrew his soldiers, we only have more than 200 people. We can't hold on..."

The soldier in iron light armor said in panic.

"What!?"

Baron Leroy was shocked when he heard this. Once the camp was lost, he actually lost control of the area.

"Lord Count Simon, Dicken is really bullying. Please help me."

Baron Leroy put on a pitiful look and begged.

"No problem, but if you want me to help, you still need to grant this piece of land to Knight Richard Hollen."

Simon smiled, took the map from Mailan, and stretched out his hand to draw it casually.

The area marked is about the size of a standard baron's territory, half plain and half woodland, and the woodland is next to the Qingshui River.

Baron Leroy was stunned, swallowed hard, and nodded: "As you said, please destroy Baron Deacon's army."

"Very good, we can deepen cooperation in the future." Simon nodded slightly, without much joy in his heart.

Because in his plan, both Green Plain Territory and Changfeng Territory are to be taken into his hands.

According to normal legal principles, it is difficult to obtain, but now the world is in chaos, and those who have soldiers are kings. Let's take actual control of the nearby territory first.

However, Simon dare not take action now, and he has to observe the situation.

It will not be too late to take action after some nobles begin to blatantly break the rules.

"Yes, it is my honor to cooperate with the Earl."

Baron Leroy smiled respectfully, but there was a cold light in the depths of his eyes.

This person's fake smile was too obvious, so Simon activated the reconnaissance skill and stared at him for a moment, and found that he was covered with black smoke.

"Hehe!" Simon grinned at him.

Baron Leroy didn't understand, but he felt a chill in his heart and quickly smiled a few times.

"Sarrit, let the army rest here for a day and march to Moon Lake tomorrow."

Simon then ordered.

"Yes! Lord Earl!" Sarrit immediately took the order and went to make arrangements.

Afterwards, Baron Leroy pinched his nose and cruelly slaughtered several cattle and sheep to reward them.

In the evening, after Simon and others had eaten and drunk their fill, they camped outside Green Forest Town to rest.

Baron Leroy also invited him to sleep in the stone fortress for one night, but Simon politely refused and said he wanted to live with his army.

This guy was covered in black smoke, and Simon would definitely not listen to his arrangements.

Nothing happened overnight. At dawn the next day, the cooks in the East Guard Corps woke up one after another, got up to light a fire and cook.

The soldiers were also busy doing their own things. Not long after, hundreds of smoke rose, and the whole camp was full of vitality.

Baron Leroy looked at him enviously in the stone fortress and sighed, "I heard that Count Simon was just a horse breeder.

Why can he become so powerful in such a short time... Why am I... so difficult!"

"Maybe it's because he married a merchant's daughter and has sufficient financial support.

And he is also the man of Marquis Val, so it's good to lean on a big tree to enjoy the shade..."

Beside him, there was an old man with gray beard, who seemed to be a butler, and said softly.

"Seventh uncle, I heard that Count Simon has a sister named Gini Hollen.

Do you think if I can marry this girl, can I get Simon's sincere help?" Baron Leroy said with a sad face.

"No! Now Count Simon is powerful, and your territories are adjacent. Once you marry a member of his family, he will definitely want to kill you.

By then, as long as you are killed, the Hollen family will be able to inherit the Green Forest Territory...

Leroy, you are not the first heir, so you have not learned a lot of family knowledge...

The royal family established this rule to prevent excessive connections between nobles.

This is a double-edged sword, which provides a means for the great nobles to expand normally, but also makes them unable to let go of their vigilance against each other...

So when the small nobles marry, they must find someone of equal status, and not marry too high!" The old man with a gray beard said seriously.

"Yes! I understand!" Leroy nodded thoughtfully.

......

"Lord Earl! The soldiers have finished breakfast and are ready to set off."

Sarrit found Simon and reported.

"Call Phyllis, Shelt, Morey, Kellaf...all here, I have something to say."

Simon nodded and smiled faintly and ordered.

"Yes!" Sarit responded and left.

Soon, all the knights arrived. Simon whispered with them for a while, and everyone dispersed with a clear look.

"Mailan, go and call Baron Leroy out and let him go with the army. This is his territory, and the master must show up."

Simon then ordered again.

"Yes! My lord!" Mailan responded and left.

Not long after, Baron Leroy came wearing a semi-heavy armor and brought hundreds of people.

Only fifty of his soldiers wore light armor, and the others were leather armor, Zamubu armor and the like.

It was no problem to deal with refugees and bandits, but he was at a loss when he encountered a stronger mercenary group.

Fortunately, he was smart and built a small stone fortress. If there was no lord attacking, it would be more than enough to protect himself.

"Let's go. As the master of the Green Forest Territory, you still have to take the lead." Simon looked at him and said with a smile.

"Yes! Thank you for coming to our aid..."

LeRoy said with a smile, Simon was a bad guy, he had already heard about it.

After a few words of greeting, the army set off, and in the afternoon, they saw a lake in the distance.

The water of the lake is blue, like a gem, and the gentle breeze makes the water ripple.

This lake covers an area of ​​about 20 to 30 square kilometers, which is not too small. At least to the naked eye, it is vast.

There is a wooden camp on the east side of the lake, which looks scarred. At this time, several flags are flying at the watchtower.

"Lord Earl, look, that is the emblem of the Baron Deacon family in the Changfeng Territory.

I originally built this camp, but it was taken away by them yesterday... Please make the decision for me! "

Baron LeRoy said pitifully.

"That's easy to say! Sarit, mobilize the Eastern Guard Army to surround that camp!

Wall, take the people to place the catapults, deploy the battering rams, and show them how powerful they are! " Simon ordered.

"Yes! Sir!" The two men accepted the order one after another, and then went to dispatch the soldiers.

In the camp by Moon Lake.

"Lord Baron! Something bad has happened! We are surrounded by a large army... Go and have a look!"

"What!? What's going on!? Can this young boy really get reinforcements?"

A strong man about thirty years old walked out of the longhouse with his sword in hand and shouted in a solemn voice.

This person is actually a good-looking man, with an upright face, fair skin, blue eyes, and brown hair draped over his shoulders.

At first glance he looks like a decent and good man.

"Lord Baron, the flags flying by the army outside are exactly the symbol of the Horun family." the knight reported.

"Simon is in quite a lot of trouble. Does he really have time to deal with my affairs here..."

Baron Deacon's brows furrowed into a frown.

"Sir! Oh my God! It's not good! Outside..."
