Sean, who stayed to follow road, saw the Baron start doing some strange exercises by the campfire and looked at it curiously. This kind of exercise is completely different from Sean's own family. Every Baron is definitely not a bag of wine. The Lords of these territories are not only superb in strength, but also very knowledgeable. A territorial Lord must be an heir to higher education and training from an early age. This is also for the continuation of the family and the integrity of the territory. The survival of the fittest is often more cruel among nobles than among civilians.
This strange way of exercise is completely different from that of some nobles. It is very mysterious and strange, and mystery often represents strength. It seems that the Baron Lord named Royal who he follows is definitely a noble child with a deep background.
Luo Yade, who is exercising, naturally won't know that he has been supplemented by Sean's brain just after normal daily exercise. Otherwise, I really can't help laughing.
With Sean, road continued to the border of grand duke Ryan the next day. This time, road was no longer alone, but had a follower. Although he was fooled, it was also a good start.
Along the way, it was like entering the primitive forest. Due to the poor environment, although each Archduke's territory was very large, the population was really small. It was really vast and sparsely populated, and the forest occupied a large part.
There are some carnivorous animals among them, but they are still not enough to see in front of royad. But it was at this time that Royd's ears moved. Then, as if he heard something, he quickly grabbed Sean, who was closely behind him, and the two hid behind a big tree surrounded by three or four people.
Baron, this is... Sean shook his wrist held by road.
Shh! Don't talk. There's a couple approaching. Road explained before Sean finished.
Just a few minutes after road and Sean hid, there was a lot of noise near the green plants in the distance.
Royad looked at these people. The three leading Knights riding black horses and wearing silver white armor were followed by many soldiers in leather armor. Each of these soldiers guarded more than a dozen civilians tied with flax rope. The flax rope was wound around the hands of these civilians, one by one, so that each civilian was connected in series. Royad could not see the end of such a team for a moment. These civilians tied with linen rope were young, women, the elderly and children, just like civilians in a looted territory.
Seeing this scene, royad also had hot eyes. He could not live without the collar people in his territory. He had planned to buy some slaves in the slave market, but now there are ready-made people in front of him. Royad felt that this was an opportunity.
But you still need to observe. After all, you don't have food in your hands. It's no use even if you rob these people and can't feed them!
The team is moving slowly. This is a jeep Baron's mouse search team. Mice are widespread in this continent. Now they are black households. Because some barons receive too heavy taxes, the free people in the territory can't live. After that, they secretly flee the territory and go to some remote places to make a living. These people are called mice by the Lords. The Lords also like these unidentified mice and are very interested in catching mice, After these unidentified rats are captured, they are generally regarded as their own private slaves by the Lord, branded with the mark of slaves and become their own private property. Although there are rat catchers every year, there are still a lot of mice.
The civilians royad saw were actually mice, but they were not mentioned in Duke Ryan's library. There were some things that would only be known after experience, and the records in the book were incomplete.
Baron, this is a rat catching team. At this time of year, the Lords of each territory will clean up the rats outside their own territory and take them as their own private slaves.
What is a mouse.
It is the free people who leave the territory due to heavy taxes and other reasons, but these civilians who leave the territory and give up their status as free people will be called rats. Once caught by the Lord, they will be the end of slaves.
Sean, you say these mice are due to heavy taxes on the territory, don't you?
Of course, the nobility is very strict about the taxes of the free people in their territory, Sean said.
Seeing that Sean is in memory, road continues to look at the rat catcher. As for Sean's performance, road is not surprised. Although Sean is only a young man, he has a bad habit, that is, he always falls into memories of the past. Maybe Sean's previous experience is too impressive. Road had asked, but Sean was silent. Road let it be. When Sean wanted to tell himself, he would naturally say that he can't be forced.
Looking at the rat catchers passing through one team after another, road also roughly estimated the number of rat catchers. There are three knights, fifty soldiers and five hundred rats, most of whom are young, a few old people and even fewer children. After leaving the aristocratic territory, other environments are very bad, which is why most mice are young and strong.
Suddenly, royad's pupils narrowed sharply and looked carefully at the food on the wooden wheeled car behind the rat catcher. This food is enough for these mice to survive the winter! Royad estimated the reserves of these foods.
At this moment, road seemed to know why these free people who fled the noble territory were called mice.
Royad decided to leave these rats. After all, he was just a single Lord, with no territory, no people and no soldiers. There is almost nothing, but in the final analysis, there is a lack of people. If these rats had no food, royad would never save them, but now it is just the beginning of autumn. As long as one or two Orc tribes occupy the territory on the edge of Archduke Ryan's territory, he can naturally plant wheat for a season, so that royad can naturally raise these civilians.
However, this world is not an extraordinary world. Road feels that it is still difficult to deal with these knights and soldiers alone, especially some soldiers still carry bows and arrows, so it needs to be considered in the long run to take down these mice.
Road looked at the sky and felt that this opportunity would come soon.
Sean doesn't understand why his Lord has to follow these rat catchers. Is Baron road going to take these mice for himself? Lord won't be crazy! That's an army that can fight a little against the weak Orc tribe. A man against three knights and fifty soldiers really hopes his lord won't be stupid. Otherwise, the position of consul you just found will be gone.
Unfortunately, Sean is right. Royad is going to fight these knights and soldiers alone. What is impossible for others is just a little trouble for royad.
