Chapter 236: Expedition

The town bell was rung—

Clang, clang, clang!

In this silent night, the sound of the bell sounded far away, startling countless animals hidden in the snow, and even making lights appear in every house in the town.

Boo, boo...

The flames on four or five butter torches flickered, and one or two sparks popped up from time to time. Not far away, some waste wood was pulled out of the ruins by the young people of the Fei Chalun Knights. At this time, they are finishing their final The role of - a huge bonfire was lit, bringing light to the surroundings, and the place where Dean and his party were located was even more brightly illuminated.

And under the flames, the first person in the town appeared. This was a man in his prime, with a medium build and a dark face. He only wore a leather jacket like a waistcoat, and his exposed skin was dotted with spots. The mottled scars on his face indicate the identity of the other party: a blacksmith.

Every time a hammer is swung to hit a red-hot iron ingot, the splashed sparks will bring some 'marks' to the blacksmith.

However, most of the time, these are regarded as their own merits by the blacksmiths.

Every blacksmith is proud of it.

However, now, the blacksmith's 'merit' is shaking rapidly - it comes from his rapid breathing, even though he is holding a hammer in his hand, but the trembling arm clearly shows his inner timidity.

"My, my lord...you, who are you?"

Under the illumination of the flames, the blacksmith regained his composure after seeing clearly the fully armed Dean and his party.

After all, bandits and mercenaries don't have such a strict and orderly appearance.

"The Defendi collar changed its name to the Zelgon collar three days ago, and I'm Dean Ken Zelgon!"

Dean looked at the blacksmith in front of him and said word by word.

"Raul has met the lord!"

After the blacksmith was slightly taken aback, he immediately bowed excitedly and saluted. Then, he turned around and shouted loudly: "Everyone come out! Come out quickly, the new lord has arrived! The new lord has arrived!"

Loud and loud. It has spread far and wide.

And those civilians who are still hesitating in their respective rooms,

After hearing such words. They came out one after another.

However, looking at the civilians in front of them, the young people of the Feichalun Knights frowned—because they were all dressed too thinly.

If the previous blacksmiths were strong enough to withstand the cold, then what happened to the children, old people, and women in front of them?

Can you survive the severe cold?

There were a few who reacted quickly, and immediately understood what was going on, and looked angrily at the former tax official from Defendi Town. If it wasn't for Dean's order, these young people would definitely go up and beat up the guy who wrapped himself up tightly.

"I have seen the lord!"

In the darkness, the commoners of the former Defendi collar looked at the new Lord Lord and bowed to greet him. However, the trembling body in the cold wind made such a greeting tremble.

"Siron, go and raise a few more bonfires!"

After glancing at it, Dean ordered directly.

immediately. Siron led a dozen soldiers into action, and the civilians from the former Defendi collar watched in amazement at the actions of these young men in armor and solemn faces, and when bonfires were lit among them when. The faces of these civilians are more surprised.

Obviously, they were a little puzzled.

After all, the previous lords were indifferent and harsh to them.

"Raul? Are you Raul?"

Dean looked at the blacksmith in front of him and asked.

"Yes, my lord!"

The blacksmith immediately bowed and replied.

"Can you answer me something?"

Dean continued to ask.

"can!"

The blacksmith looked a little nervous.

"It doesn't matter, it's just some questions, you just need to answer. I can forgive you for any offense during the conversation!"

Seeing the nervousness of the other party, Dean gave a promise with a smile.

"Thank you Lord Lord for your generosity!"

The blacksmith saluted again immediately; and the former tax official who was limp beside him. As if he only realized it at this time, he shouted loudly: "My lord, my lord. I say, I am willing to tell you everything! Please. Give me another chance! Please!"

Dean glanced at the other party coldly, and nodded to Huck beside him. Immediately, our deputy head kicked up and slid the tax official kicked for a certain distance, and then, Tear off the opponent's clothes and tear them into cloth strips. One part is used as a rope to tie up the opponent, and the other part is used to block the opponent's mouth.

"What about the remaining soldiers in the barracks?"

Dean turned his head to look at the blacksmith, becoming pleasant again.

"Soldiers? They are a group of robbers. After the baron's mansion was burned down that day, we hid in the house and did not dare to come out until this guy..." As he spoke, the blacksmith took a vicious look at the original tax that was tied there. Officer, then continued: "This guy called us out, and then, that group of guys started to loot our continuation, and everything that could be taken away was taken away; if it wasn't for our desperate resistance, and that group of guys If the guys are in a hurry to leave, our wives, sisters, and daughters will be taken away by them!"

A simple narration, to make the faces of the young people of Fechalen Knights present change.

Obviously, they knew very well what would happen if they were so-called taken away.

Bang, bang!

Under the sudden force, the joints made a burst of crisp sound, and Chad's breathing became heavy.

As we all know, Chad has a younger sister, and he is definitely a competent brother. The scene in front of him undoubtedly made the young Chad very angry.

However, looking at the expressionless Dean, Chad restrained himself rationally.

"Where did they leave from?"

Dean continued to ask.

"To the north, they want to bypass Tillland and enter the depths of the snowy forest!"

The blacksmith said everything he knew.

"Thank you Raul for telling me everything I want to know!"

Dean walked up to the blacksmith and patted him on the shoulder. This move immediately flattered the blacksmith, and he knelt down on one knee to salute.

"Bring that guy here!"

After Dean signaled the blacksmith to stand up. He yelled at Huck.

Our deputy head, holding it with one hand, is like carrying a small chicken. Bring the other party over, and then. He fell heavily to the ground.

boom!

Amidst the silence, the former tax official was thrown with golden stars in front of his eyes.

And before he could react, the rag in his mouth was pulled out——

"Tell me, who are your accomplices? If you want to fool me, you must have prepared a set of arguments and a few strong witnesses, right? Don't tell me, it's because of your negotiation The massacre did not happen here! I know better than you what a mercenary is like!"

While talking, Dean stepped on the opponent's ankle, and then began to exert force.

"Ah! I say, I say, it's Hull, Delin, Jack..."

The former tax officer didn't have the slightest backbone, and Dean said what he thought in his heart, and the pain in his ankle made him directly name several people.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the civilians in front of them.

Obviously, these people still have some prestige among the common people, and the blacksmith looked at them in disbelief. He shouted loudly: "Hell, Delin, Jack, tell me that what this guy said is not true! My lord, please be clear. They won't do such a thing!"

"Chad took a few people to search the homes of these people!"

Dean ordered.

A few moments later, several money bags appeared here, about sixty Kimptons—although it is not a lot for nobles, it is definitely not wealth that a few commoners can possess.

The blacksmith looked at the money bag, and suddenly, paleness appeared on his dark face.

"Asshole!"

The blacksmith roared and rushed towards several people, punching and kicking them.

The person who was beaten curled up there. No one dared to say anything, and none of the surrounding civilians came to stop them. Their eyes were cold and full of hostility.

Dean ignored the beating around him, and he looked at the tax officer again——

"The route they used to enter the dense snowfield forest. You should know it? And, you should also know the person they contacted, right? Otherwise, the depths of the snowfield dense forest in winter are like hell!"

Dean asked, and the soles of his feet exerted force again.

This time, though, Dean chose another ankle.

"I know, I know, I know it all!"

The former tax official said again and again.

"Huck is in your hands! Let him spit out everything he knows!"

Dean said, the deputy head of the side immediately carried the other party to the distance, and about ten minutes later, Huck came back again; and the civilians looked at Huck, and couldn't help but dodge with hunger—after all , Within ten minutes, their ears were filled with the screams of the former tax official.

"My lord, they entered the dense snowfield forest from the northwest side of Tire Territory, and the people who responded were the troops of 'Hammer of Riot'——I have confirmed it three times, and it should be correct!"

Huck reported in a low voice, with a look of worry on his face.

There is no problem with the previous words, but the 'Hammer of Riot' is quite a problem!

You must know that the opponent is deep in the dense forest of the snowy field, and there are countless bandits who can form forces. Not only is the 'Hammer of Riot' himself powerful, but his subordinates have more than five hundred people who can fight.

If they fight against each other with their current strength, they are basically hitting a stone with an egg. However, if they know it but don't go, it will deal a blow to the reputation of Dean, the newly appointed lord.

Suddenly, our deputy head fell into a dilemma.

"I see!"

Dean nodded indifferently, and then strode up to the civilians——

"I, Dean Ken Zelgon, as the lord of the Zelgon Territory, have the obligation to protect you. Similarly, I have the right to execute anyone who dares to violate the Zelgon Territory... Siren, go and get The guy who colluded with bandits was hanged at the gate of the town, and you fellows who are willing to become bandits, now you are no longer a member of Zelgon, take your family and get out!"

Dean scanned the civilians in front of him, and finally set his sights on the blacksmith.

"Raul, I want you to organize a militia to temporarily guard your home..."

"My lord, what about you?"

The blacksmith asked puzzledly.

"Since anyone dares to meet those bandits, then they are my enemies...I will hang their heads on my territory! Huck, the whole team, go out!"

Dean spoke in a cold tone, and then he let out a loud shout at the end.

"Yes, my lord!"

The soldiers of the Fei Chalun Knights replied loudly.
