"I'm sorry, Knight Iman, for burning your forest and the compensation for the militia dispatch. I will order it later..."
Because it was a large-scale operation, Knight Iman finally arrived.
Aaron rode forward and said slightly apologetically.
The vegetation, animals, fish, and even the people in a territory... are the wealth of the local lord. Even the goods of passing merchants are also the property of the lord once they fall to the ground.
Therefore, any damage must be compensated.
"Lord Baron, you are too polite. You are doing this for the safety of my men."
Knight Yiman laughed first, feeling quite disapproving in his heart.
According to his experience, the so-called thieves group is a group of people who have no food to eat. They may have some crude weapons and dare to kill people, but that's it.
Sending out a group of soldiers at will will definitely destroy them!
It was completely too careful to create such a big battle.
Even, a little bit afraid of death.
However, these words were only whispered in his heart, but his face did not reveal them at all.
…
Soon, the flames engulfed the hill and then extinguished itself as there was nothing left to burn.
After half a day, the temperature also dropped, and Eight Fingers volunteered to go over and clean up the battlefield.
Knight Iman dismounted, obviously showing some interest.
Aaron accompanies him indispensably, and the surrounding land is scorched black with residual warmth.
Not long after, I saw a tall corpse.
"After testing, it should be a wild wolf."
Eight Fingers said with a little excitement and a little fear: "And these..."
Knight Yiman looked at the exquisite weapons and leather armor... and his expression gradually changed. Finally, when he saw the remains of the three crossbows, the bitter smile on his face could no longer be concealed.
Crossbows are military supplies, and they are strictly controlled military supplies. A wandering wild wolf thief will never be able to take them out.
This shady story is horrifying just thinking about it.
He suddenly regretted why he had to take a look.
"It seems that the Wild Wolf Gang is indeed well-equipped... It's time to write to father and check it out."
Aaron said seriously and glanced at Iman next to him.
Let him come here just to witness, and at this time, he is already a member of the same boat and can be used as a support.
Knight Yiman smiled bitterly. At this time, he had no other choice but to say: "I will jointly testify..."
"In this case, the rest of the finishing work will be left to Knight Iman. I'm a little sleepy and have to go back and have a good sleep."
Aaron smiled.
In fact, in the dream world recently, Lin also started to cause trouble, so he had to follow her to take a look, just in case.
After all, with the existence of the 'Light of Redemption' Order, he could continuously receive sacrifices and obtain extraordinary power from time to time in this world.
…
Sotos collar.
Villa Elaine.
A raven flew over and landed on the window.
Elaine took out the note, glanced at it, her expression changed slightly, and took it to the study.
In the study, Colin and Li Li were sitting across from each other, obviously having been there for some time.
"There is news from the Blackstone Territory!"
Elaine handed the letter to Colin, quickly exited the study, and closed the door.
boom!
Sure enough, the next moment, there was the sound of objects being thrown in the study.
"Didn't you say that your people will definitely succeed? How could this happen?"
Colin grabbed Li Li's collar uncontrollably and asked in a hoarse voice.
"There is nothing we can do about this, haven't you seen? Your brother has gathered hundreds of people... What can I do?"
He struggled to break away, straightened his collar, and said calmly: "Now... you should think carefully about how to cover it up. After all, you gave me that batch of military supplies."
"You...you did it on purpose, right?"
Colin roared: "Obviously it can be exported. The weapons of the Kingdom of Kargash are far more elite than those of the Green Forest. Why do you insist on asking me to provide weapons?"
"Sir, you have misunderstood me... Although the Kingdom of Kargash has ordnance, the Green Forest has checkpoints and material transportation is strictly inspected..."
Li Li spread his hands: "Our ability to use the Wild Wolf Thieves Group is already the greatest support for the Kingdom's intelligence network..."
In fact, it is not particularly difficult to transport ordnance, but the effort is not to help Colin stabilize his title.
It would be the most beautiful outcome to see that he and Aaron are at odds with each other and even go to war directly.
Colin's momentum froze, and he sat back on the chair dejectedly: "What do you think... should be done?"
"Is there any possibility of covering up this matter?"
"Impossible!" Colin shook his head: "Once father counts the weapons in the warehouse, there is no way he can hide it..."
"Then what will happen if you go and apologize to the Earl now?" Li Li continued to ask.
"I have no idea……"
Colin's eyes were blank, but he shuddered.
He very much hoped that his father would suppress this matter directly for his sake, but he felt that it was unlikely.
If it is really dealt with, the result is really unpredictable.
"Sir Ke Lin, you still have a chance!" Seeing this, Li Li's eyes suddenly turned dark: "Your brother is too good. If this continues, your father will be shaken sooner or later. It's better... to start early!"
"What did you say?"
Colin stood up suddenly and almost drew his sword to kill this man.
But in the end he didn't take action and shouted: "Get out of here!"
Li Li didn't panic at all, got up and left.
After walking out of the room, he looked at Elaine again.
A smile appeared on Elaine's face and she nodded.
…
After a while, Elaine walked into the study and saw Colin, who was drinking heavily.
"Honey...I have some good news for you."
A maternal smile appeared on Elaine's face, and she put Colin's hand on her belly: "I'm pregnant!"
"Child? My child?"
Colin was startled, suddenly sober, and a look of emotion appeared on his face.
He couldn't help but lie down and rest his head in Elaine's arms, as if he could hear the child's heartbeat.
He had never done this kind of action with Sylvie.
Not long after, Colin suddenly felt water drops falling on his face.
He raised his head and saw Elaine's face covered with tears.
"why are you crying?"
Colin couldn't help but ask.
"I'm afraid..." Elaine snuggled up to Colin gently: "And Mrs. Sylvie...she won't tolerate me."
"Leave her alone, she's just a whore! And that bastard is not my son either. I can't wait to strangle him to death!"
Colin's face suddenly became ferocious and firm: "Believe me, Elaine... everything will get better."
At this moment, the news of Elaine's pregnancy and Xia's existence became the last straw in Colin's heart.
