Chapter 227: The Polante Thieves



Although one of them is located in the southwest of Wushanling and the other in the southeast of Wushanling, the nature of the two organizations and what they do are very similar -

Attack noble castles, occupy noble territories, and establish your own regime.

Is it that Wushanbao is incapable of killing them? The answer is no.

In the early days, several knight orders in Wushan Territory and other noble teams were able to defeat them, but after only one or two years, they emerged again like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

After several attempts, perhaps Wushanbao was tired, or perhaps Wiggins' repeated poor command caused his subordinates to accumulate a lot of resentment, and over time, the intensity of the crusade weakened.

Until now, the border seems to be playing push-push game. You attack me today, and I attack you back tomorrow.

In addition to causing the deaths of a large number of soldiers, this situation also led to frequent changes in the lords in these two directions, so that the border of Wushan Territory has been in a state of turmoil.

Naturally, several nobles, including the king, knew about this happening in the Marquisate.

Legally speaking, the kingdom has the responsibility to protect the lesser nobles, but that is only when the status of the nobles is in jeopardy, such as when the Polante bandit group threatened Ushan Castle.

For the minor fights at the border, the Alduin royal family expressed concern but did not send troops to support them. For them, sometimes it was not bad for the nobles below to fight and consume their own strength.

What's more, Wushan Fort had never requested support from the royal family or other nobles from the beginning to the end of this matter, so there was no need for them to worry about it.

Roning pondered for a while, wondering whether the actions of the Polante Thieves' Group this time were routine or if someone was behind the scenes pushing them.

But no matter what the situation is, the Polante Bandits cannot threaten Wushan Castle, after all, the Fifth Knights of Wushan Castle are stationed there.

They want to break through the defense line of the Fifth Knights and penetrate deep into Wushan Territory, but they probably don't have the strength to do so.

"Rogna, did you get any news about Count Orson when you went out this time?" Roning asked.

At the beginning of the year, after Orson was crippled by Lulans, he returned to his territory, Black Python City. After Roning returned to Wubei Territory, he did not pay much attention to him.

"I did hear some news."

Perhaps Rogner hated Orson as much as Marvin did, so when he mentioned the latter, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"It is said that after Orson returned to Black Python City, he sought medical treatment everywhere and sought help from powerful magicians, hoping to obtain magic potions or other methods from them to relieve his injuries. He even extended an invitation to Lord Miroslav of Wushan Town, but unfortunately he was rejected."

Miroslav is the seventh-level great magician who makes magic potions for Rulans, the honorary viscount of the kingdom, the honorary earl of Wushan Territory, and the manager of the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce in Wushan Territory.

Although such a person is not a noble who owns a territory, he has extraordinary power. Naturally, he is qualified to refuse Earl Orson's invitation without worrying about any consequences.

Roning chuckled, "Orson is overthinking. If this injury was so easy to heal, my grandfather wouldn't have been troubled for so many years and couldn't get rid of it."

Rulans's strength, connections, and period of fame are much better than Orson's, but he hasn't found a solution. Where can Orson seek help?

Moreover, Miroslav, who was helping Rulans with his injuries, had already rejected Orson's invitation for the sake of the Marquis, which probably meant that the latter had no chance of even recovering from his injuries.

"What about Barrington, how did he react?"

Barrington, son of Orson, brother of Diane, and Golden Knight of the Earldom.

"It is said that he was very angry and even said that he wanted to ask the Marquis for an explanation. But later, Orson came forward and said that the failure of the competition had nothing to do with the Marquis."

Barrington probably only said that he would ask Rulans for an explanation, but in reality he probably didn't dare to come to Wushanbao.

At the age of 44, Barrington was a very talented Golden Knight, and he didn’t want to be wasted like his father.

"Now that the affairs of Black Python City have probably been handed over to Barrington, Orson will probably have to take a rest like the Marquis."

Rogner sighed. After becoming a meteor, he wanted to be high-profile. He never expected this to be the outcome. "Any news about the Black Gold Brotherhood?" Roning asked.

At this point he shook his head unconsciously. He felt that the Black Gold Brotherhood would be quiet for a year or two.

"If you want to know, my Lord, I will keep an eye out for information about them for you next time I go out."

Luo Ning nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you."

He treated Rogner as an intelligence officer.

In his opinion, no matter how powerful the Black Gold Brotherhood is, it is impossible for them to outlast the Wushan Territory. There must be supporters behind this organization.

Since there are supporters, there is still a possibility of a comeback in a short period of time.

However, if the Black Gold Brotherhood also takes action at that time, Wushan Fort will face a war on two fronts.

Being at the northernmost tip of Wushan Territory, Ronin naturally would not worry about the war spreading to Wubei Territory, but he still had to make necessary preparations, such as letting Ridar and McKen train more soldiers.

A standard viscount usually has four knight teams, but Ronin is currently short of two.

"What is the quality of the more than 500 people we brought back this time?" he asked.

"It's barely okay. They are all quite tired after the long journey."

Rogna changed the subject, "However, there is a mid-level wandering knight named Kudolei in the team that came this time. It is said that he originally wanted to follow Baron Kona, but the latter's financial resources and territory management had problems, so he had to give up."

"Anthony happened to be recruiting freemen there at that time, so he followed him to Hillwood Town."

Although the population of Wubei Territory now exceeds 16,000, there are no extraordinary people among the purchased slaves and the two groups of free people from outside.

It sounds good to be able to attract wandering knights to join us now.

"Perhaps I can tell Anthony to invite the extraordinary people in addition to recruiting ordinary people."

Luo Ning thought so.

Just as the two were talking, hurried footsteps were heard outside, followed by a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Chahar hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in, "Master, Zhu Weite sent someone to report that Sim was beaten."

Hmm? Luo Ning frowned: "What's going on?"

"It was said that some of the newcomers were causing trouble, so Zhu Weite and Sim went to stop them, but they had a bad temper and were stronger than them."

Roning glanced at Rogna, who was also a little embarrassed.

Without asking, they guessed the identity of the attacker.

Although Juwitt and Sim are not very strong, they are considered veterans. Normally, only Redar and McKen can teach them a lesson, but most of the time it is based on training and guidance.

There is really no one who deliberately attacks two people and injures one of them.

"Let's go and take a look."

With nothing to do, Luo Ning could just meet these newcomers. (End of this chapter)
