Compared with Knight Wally's dock in front, the one in front is very small and simple. I'm afraid it can only barely accommodate a ship of 20 to 30 meters long.

Not far from the pier, there is a simple wooden shed, and inside it you can see a lot of wood of similar length piled up.

"Generally speaking, the goods from Rapids Island are transported to the port of Vali and then shipped away. The wood here..."

Combined with what Knight Wally said before, "It's getting increasingly difficult to collect timber from the White Flower Society recently," Roning guessed that the White Flower Society had secretly built this dock and had their own channels for external communication to engage in timber smuggling.

In this way, relying on the supplies brought by the smuggling ships and the potatoes they grew, they no longer needed Walli to provide food for survival. They were able to break free from the constraints and become independent.

But they didn't know that the matter of Rapids Island had been reported to the higher-ups so quickly, and that His Majesty the King himself had sent people to deal with the matter.

After investigating the dock, Roning flew into the air on Carlos and continued to investigate the residence of the White Flower Society.

Perhaps the ancestors of the Baihua Society were all criminals imprisoned, or perhaps they needed to work together, so the houses here are relatively concentrated.

Although the further north you go, the more signs of logging you can find, compared to the entire forest on Rapids Island, the area logged by humans is only a small area.

There are also abundant oak resources on this island.

After investigating the White Flower Society, Roning flew around the residential area of ​​the Larn Society.

In comparison, the Larne Society was more "honest". Not only was there no sign of edible potatoes, but there was also no trace of smuggled timber.

They negotiated with Wali, perhaps more for the purpose of eating more and asking for more.

After investigating all this, Ronin returned to the port.

While Roning was investigating, Luchi, Missy and Wally had already begun to arrange tomorrow's offense and defense.

Relying on the advantages of the port's protective walls, even if the people from the Larn Society come to seize the port, with Knight Reis leading the defense, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Early the next morning, a team of nearly a hundred people gathered outside the port.

"If I had so many people, I would have arrested those troublemakers of the White Flower Society long ago!"

Looking at so many people, Wally was full of confidence for a moment.

In the past, when he went there, being able to bring thirty people was already the limit. In that situation, the other side had more people and more power, so he did not dare to go deep.

Now we not only have more people on our side, but we also have several Silver Knights and Royal Griffins. It would be almost difficult for the opponent to deal with any one of them.

Luo Ning smiled and said, "This time, we are only targeting the leader of the White Flower Society. As for the others, as long as they don't participate in the resistance, we don't have to raise our swords against them."

Wally nodded. "I understand. After all, someone will be needed to cut down the oak trees. Killing one more person means one less laborer, and the kingdom will have one less piece of wood."

Luo Ning couldn't help but give the other party a thumbs up.

It seems that after so many years of management, Knight Wally has learned how to exploit the labor force.

Perhaps compared to the White Flower Society and the Rahn Society, the descendants of prisoners directly managed by Vali had a harder life.

After all, someone will have to make up for the wood that Baihua owes.

The Rahn Society has a certain degree of autonomy and can bargain, but those who are directly under the control of Walli can only work hard without complaint.

There were no war horses, and everyone except Missy walked on land.

Fortunately, although it is a mountain road, a wide road has been paved over the years for transporting timber, so it is still quite convenient to walk on.

The crowd marched towards the White Flower Society's territory in a swaggering and open manner.

When passing by a hillside, Missy in the air saw someone on the top of the mountain running quickly towards the inside. It seemed that they were people arranged by the White Flower Society to stand guard there.

But according to Roning's plan, even if the other side had sentries, he would let the sentries go back and report, so that the other side could gather all the rebels, and he would not have to interrogate and screen them one by one later.

Soon, they arrived at the Baihua Society’s mountain stronghold.

"Sir, Knight Vali is coming with his men!"

The scout on guard brought back the information, "This time they came with more people, I estimate there are hundreds of them."

At this time, there were two people sitting above. The one with a burly build and a scar on his face was Marcelo, the leader of the White Flower Society. There was also a bearded man sitting next to him.

The two looked at each other, and Marcelo smiled and said, "Wali actually transferred most of the personnel stationed at the port at once. It seems that our neighbor is really anxious."

He had not received any intelligence from the port and did not know that four ships had arrived at Rapids Island yesterday.

So he would think that Vali came with all the guards.

The bearded man laughed and said, "He's probably afraid that if he fails to deliver enough goods several times in a row, it will cause dissatisfaction from the higher-ups."

Marcelo nodded in agreement.

"Wali has been guarding this godforsaken place for seven or eight years. He only needs to hold on for another two years to complete his mission and leave Rapids Island. If he fails to deliver enough wood in the last two years and makes the nobles unhappy, all his hard work over the years will be in vain."

Stationed on Rapids Island, Wally's role is a bit like the warden of an open-air prison. After completing ten years of guarding, he can gain enough merit and rewards, and if he performs outstandingly, he may even be promoted to baron.

"We can't push him too hard. If he's too tough this time, we'll promise him that we'll ship him some wood."

Marcelo nodded. A less powerful Waiheke defender would be an advantage to them.

"Come on, call everyone and let's go meet them."

The White Flower Society mobilized quickly. Two knights stood on a high place and shouted, and a group of people gathered together.

Most of them wore ragged linen clothes, and they were not holding regular weapons, but machetes and axes for chopping trees. Only the first twenty or so people were wearing iron armor or leather armor, and they looked like they were real.

These twenty or so people were the ones Marcelo had recently armed with weapons and equipment provided by Clifford.

"We are still lacking some core combat power." Marcelo couldn't help but feel a little worried. "If we face off head-on, I don't know if we can compete with Vali's knight squad."

"Don't worry, they can't beat us."

Bearded Clifford vowed: "I can tear his knight squad to pieces by myself."

Hearing this, Marcelo's worries were relieved.

"Yes, Vali is only a bronze knight. He can act arrogantly in front of us, but when facing a golden knight like you, he can only kneel down and beg for mercy."

The two groups walked towards each other and soon met in a small valley.

But when they got closer and saw the person coming, both Marcelo and the Golden Knight Clifford were dumbfounded.

The other side was tall and strong, and each of them was wearing standard armor, which was obviously higher-end than theirs.

"No, that's not right!"

Marcelo panicked, "This isn't Vali's knight squad!"

"What's going on?" Clifford asked in surprise.

On the other hand, Roning drew out the Flame Sword, and the rage on it swept over him, "Attack!" (End of this chapter)
