Riverside Village is one of the nine villages under the leadership of the Arthur family. Because it is close to the Red Fork River and has several small handicraft workshops, the entire village is considered a famous and wealthy village nearby.
It is also the village that pays the highest amount of taxes to his family.
Since it is his source of income, Arthur cannot neglect it, at least not before running away.
He asked the guards to bring the village chief in.
Then he sat on the main seat in the hall and prepared to perform his leadership duties.
We have also experienced the addiction of medieval masters.
According to the rules of Teswilo Continent, the subjects are lords, and the property-owning knights pay taxes and provide voluntary labor. The lords and property-owning knights provide security protection and satisfy public petitions for the people.
Larger nobles can also set up courts and appoint judges to judge cases.
But the Bracken family is a very small noble, only stronger than some wealthy knights, so naturally they cannot afford to support a judge.
Therefore, in the territory, Lord Arthur works part-time as a judge and a policeman.
As a rule, the king generally does not interfere in the internal affairs of the Seven Kingdoms.
It is very unusual for Ned to send Beric Dondarrion (the Lightning King) to the Riverlands to capture the Mountain in the name of the king.
In fact, first the lord of his family had to come forward to capture the Mountain, and then Hoster Tully, the guardian of the Riverlands, sent people to arrest him. After these two levels of protective relationships expired, it was the king's turn to come forward.
Because Horst is the lord of the Bracken family, he should also fulfill the obligations between the lord and his subjects.
The same is true for the king, the lord of the lord.
The peasants directly crossed two levels to find King's Landing City. This shows how cowardly the Yu family Tully is.
If it's the Northern Territory of the Wolf Family Stark, the Vale of the Eagle Family Arryn, or the Western Territory of the Lion Family Lannister, you can kill the Mountain directly if you capture it.
Soon, the guards came back and led six villagers in.
The leader of the villagers was probably in his forties, dressed a little more decently, and looked like he was the village chief.
Before Arthur could speak, the village chief took the lead and spoke loudly of his demands:
"Lord Arthur, you have to send troops to help us catch those damn bandits. Those devils who are so inhumane and do all kinds of evil that even the seven hells cannot accommodate them."
Arthur sat upright and said with a serious face: "Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry."
A middle-aged farmer next to the village chief said loudly: "We can't hurry, my daughter has been kidnapped by them."
The village chief turned back to glare at the unruly farmer, and then turned around and replied: "In addition to Tony's daughter and my wife, the gang of bandits also stole most of our silver deer and copper coins, as well as some clothes and
food."
A young man with his left arm bandaged added: "And my ax, I just bought it from the beauty market."
"Why are you shouting in front of the lord?" The village chief seemed to dislike this young man's interruption.
He also regretted that he should not have brought several victims to the lord's castle. A farmer wearing dirty clothes would not only arouse Lord Arthur's disgust, but also lower his evaluation in front of the Lord.
"Why can't you speak? Jace, you are just a farmer. What do you mean? If Lord Arthur didn't think so highly of you, you would still be digging potatoes in the field."
The young man was obviously not an honest person, so he immediately fought back and flattered Arthur by the way.
This flattery is not right, not to mention that the current Arthur has traveled through time, and the appointment of village chief Jace was also done by the original owner's father.
But when village chief Jess heard this, it was different.
Jess turned sideways and stared fiercely at the young man who was taking over his duties, "Didn't we agree that I would report the situation to the adults alone? Is it reasonable for you to interrupt in the first place? Your father who dug out the cesspit didn't teach you how to respect others.
?”
Not to be outdone, the young people would start spraying even though they were holding their necks.
When Arthur saw that something was wrong, he immediately shouted: "That's enough, be quiet!"
The young man glanced at Arthur, and then turned his head reluctantly. The village chief Jace looked at the young man proudly, and then turned around to face Arthur.
Arthur also had a big head for a while. I don't know how the village leader's head grew. His own wife was kidnapped and he was still quarreling with people over trivial matters.
If it were later, his wife would become an "overnight wife".
After coughing lightly, Arthur asked: "When did the bandits arrive in your village? How many people were there? How were their equipment? Which direction did they run to afterward?"
A series of questions were asked from the lord's mouth. The village chief Jace was stunned for a moment, and then slowly recalled: "It was probably before dawn that the bandits came. They first robbed the money, then the clothes, and then the
My wife also snatched a lot of bits and pieces..."
"I'm asking you how many people they have, what their equipment is, and in which direction they are fleeing. I'm not just listening to your nonsense."
Village chief Jace blushed, and the young man next to him replied urgently:
"There are about twelve or three people. Only the two or three leaders are wearing armor. The others are soldiers with swords and their equipment is definitely not as good as yourselves. From visual inspection, they should have run towards the Divine Eye Lake."
The old farmer who interrupted earlier also added: "Actually, they arrived much earlier than dawn, but the village chief's house in the center of the village was the last to be robbed, which made him think that the bandits came later."
"They ran in the direction of Shenyan Lake. There were only a few people on horseback, so they probably didn't run far. We can still catch up now." Another farmer also added.
Arthur nodded, acknowledging the information provided by these people.
Seeing that the lord was not very vicious, several peasants became bolder and started shouting.
"Master, just help us."
"That is our family's wealth."
"If these grains were not recovered, we would have no money to pay taxes."
…
At this time, a blue light curtain appeared in front of Arthur:
[Mission: Find the bandits and help the people recover their stolen property]
Huh? There is actually a task panel.
Then Arthur knows how to game the system.
Finding the bandits and taking back the plundered property of the farmers in the River Bank Village will not only increase your experience, but also enhance your relationship with the River Bank Village.
When recruiting troops in the future, you can also recruit a few more.
Among the new cavalry-cutting recruits, the strongest one is the old farmer with a manure fork.
Not only can it force a heavy cavalry to stop a frontal charge, but it also doesn't lose health, and it can be fought with a manure fork.
Maybe Arthur's army in the future will be these old farmers, so we need to have a good relationship with them.
And the Bracken family has thirty-five soldiers equipped with chainmail. Compared with a dozen bandits without armor and with average weapons, they have a good chance of winning.
Besides, this is our own territory, so we can call on the strong farmers nearby to help.
Some farmers who can shoot arrows are no worse than untrained bandits.
"quiet."
The hall fell silent in response.
Looking around at the faces of these farmers, Arthur said loudly in their expectant eyes:
"I will lead people to arrest these lawless bandits."
