Chapter 122 122. Provocation

As Ronin left the Gray Earth Village a while ago and stopped attacking the Savage Tribe, Redar stayed here as a garrison.

Apart from occasionally exploring the southeast, he spent the rest of his time either training Tom, Juwitt and the guards, or walking north along the kaolin mine. To be honest, his life was a bit boring.

On this day, he was riding a horse to supervise carpenters and masons building houses outside the kaolin mine. According to the instructions of the lord when he left, this will be a factory for developing kaolin and making porcelain in the future.

Although Redar didn't know what porcelain was, the lord valued it so much, so he naturally had to pay attention to it.

"Commander!"

When Redar was patrolling the area, Juwitt rode a horse and ran over quickly.

Redar heard some anxiety in the other party's tone. Could it be that the group of careless serfs had another dispute? Or did wild beasts appear in the mountains again?

During this period of time, the serfs did quarrel and even fight, but it was basically Slaine's family or lover who took the lead in the quarrel because they were dissatisfied with the hard work. However, they calmed down after being beaten twice by Redar.

There was also an incident where a wild boar destroyed the vegetable field. Redar did not take action that time, and Baburin took the guards to deal with it.

Generally speaking, such trivial matters do not need to be handled by the commander. Now Zhuweit is here. Could it be that the lord has come to the Gray Earth Village?

"What's wrong?"

Zhuweit approached and reined in the reins, saying anxiously: "My lord, the people of the Black Collar Tribe are actually building a sentry tower in front of our village. Just now Tom and Baburin took people to stop them, and they were about to fight!"

This unexpected news made Redar stunned for a moment, and he asked in disbelief: "Are you saying that the people of the Black Collar Tribe are building a sentry tower at our door?"

"Yes!" Zhuweit responded affirmatively.

Redar's face turned cold. The Black Collar Tribe actually built a sentry tower at the door of the Gray Earth Village. Are they crazy?

"Come on, take me to see!"

He was just lamenting that he had nothing to do, but he didn't expect that things would come to him on their own initiative.

The warhorse galloped through the village and soon arrived at the southeast entrance of Huitu Village.

"Sir, you can see it after you go around the intersection in front."

Juweit pointed to the curved corner of the mountain in front and said.

Rydar looked back. Although the location was five or six hundred meters away from the entrance of the village, it was not yet at the level of "building a tower in front of the door", but it was not far away.

As the two of them went around the corner of the mountain, they saw the two sides of the horses confronting each other on the small road in front.

There were Tom, Baburin, Sim and several guards on the side of Huitu Village;

There were more people on the other side, with five people riding horses alone, and seven or eight workers holding tools and axes to build a watchtower on the side.

It is unknown when the other side started working, and the bottom of the watchtower has already taken shape.

Ridal looked cold and drove his horse closer: "What's going on?"

Bablin bowed slightly, "Commander, Fenris, the deputy leader of the Black Collar Tribe, wants to build a watchtower here with his men, saying that it is to prevent wild beasts in the mountains from harassing the serfs who are reclaiming wasteland nearby."

This excuse is pure bullshit.

Ridal has come here for inspection many times, and has never seen anyone from the Gray Earth Village or the Black Collar Tribe reclaiming wasteland nearby.

"Who is Fenris?"

A man in the other crowd pinched his horse's belly and took two steps forward.

He was muscular, with clear muscle lines on his body. He was wearing chain mail and shoulder guards, and his protective gear was good.

"Are you the person Baron Ronin left in the Gray Earth Tribe to manage? Haha, commander, what a big title..."

Fenris' words immediately caused a burst of laughter.

The people in the Gray Earth Village were very angry, but Ridal was not angry.

Fenris saw that his words did not make the other party take action, so he asked coldly:

"I heard that the Gray Earth Tribe has been conquered by the Baron of Shanlin Town, so they should abide by the agreement between the nobles not to invade each other's territory. Are you trying to provoke a war between Shanlin Town and Sen Territory by stopping us from building the sentry tower now?"

Fenris still has a relatively complete grasp of the information about Shanlin Town and the Savage Tribe. For example, he knows Baburin, a mid-level knight, and he also knows that Macken under Ronin has blonde hair.

He has no relevant information about the red-haired commander in front of him, but even if he is strong, he is probably just a mid-level peak knight, slightly suppressing Baburin.

Rydar is thinking.

Obviously, the fact that the lord occupied the three tribes has been known to the outside world, so the other party deliberately built a sentry tower here after knowing this news, obviously for other purposes.

Ridal said with a fake smile: "This place doesn't seem to belong to the Black Collar Tribe, right?"

Fenris did not give in, "As far as I know, this place belongs to the Black Collar Tribe. Not only that, from this line to the north and south, all belong to the Black Collar Tribe!"

"Bullshit!"

Bablin cursed. He has lived here for more than ten or twenty years. How come he didn't know about this?

"In the past, your Black Collar Tribe expanded to the southeast. When did this place become yours?"

As Baburin cursed, Tom and others beside him, including the guards, all cursed.

These guys are usually polite to Ronin, but when they really curse, all kinds of dirty words come out.

Redal sat on the horse in silence. He probably understood that the other party was here to occupy the territory, and judging from this attitude, it seemed that he was not afraid of provoking disputes at all.

"Perhaps, the struggle between the lord and the Thain Territory will come to the table."

The aura on Redal's body became dangerous. He raised his hand. Upon seeing this, Tom and others immediately stopped yelling.

But the other party did not have such discipline, and still cursed several times. When he found that the other party's scolding had stopped suddenly, he also stopped, but the sound was a bit chaotic.

"Fenris, right?"

Redal's tone was warning: "In order to avoid causing conflicts between the two barons, I ask you to retreat fifteen miles, otherwise..."

"How about otherwise?"

Fenris laughed. According to Baron Leisen's instructions, he was here to cause trouble today. They wanted Ronin to know that the Thain Territory was not so easy to control.

He put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, "I'm warning you, if you stop us from building the sentry tower again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Redal snorted coldly, raised his hand and punched. The fighting energy condensed into a huge fist and bombarded the base of the built sentry tower, directly exploding the several pieces of wood that were built together.

"Hold!"

Fenris didn't expect that the other party would dare to make the first move. He raised the reins, pinched the horse's belly hard, and rushed towards Redal.

Ruidal was not afraid at all and rode his horse to meet the enemy.

The long swords of the two sides clashed, and Fenris, who had been arrogant just now, suddenly changed his expression, and the shocking power impact sent him flying backwards with his sword.

"waste!"

Redal flew up, flew directly over everyone's heads, and killed Fenris.

When Tom and others saw how brave the commander was, they immediately rushed towards the opponent's crowd like a chicken.

For a moment, the two sides came together in a melee.

Fenris was panicking now. He didn't expect this red-haired man to be so strong.

Isn't it said that there is only one high-level peak knight in the entire Shanlin Town? How come the one in front of me can easily defeat him?

"No, no, impossible!"

Fenris' fighting spirit formed a cold armor on the surface of his body, and the surging fighting spirit condensed on the long sword, as if he was brewing some move.

But at this moment, Redal descended from the sky, bombarding Fenris with a long flaming sword light, directly peeling off the opponent's fighting spirit armor, and knocked the opponent to the ground.

Fenris felt his chest explode, and a mouthful of blood poured out of his mouth. He wanted to stand up, but found that the cold blade was already pressed against his neck.

"Everyone, stop!"

Redal roared angrily, and the two sides gradually separated.

He glanced around and saw that although the battle ended quickly, both sides were injured, but fortunately there were no casualties.

"If you don't want to die, throw away the swords in your hands and lie down on the ground!"

Rydal moved the sword in his hand and gave Fenris a stern look.

The latter was frightened and said quickly: "Quick, do what he said!"

"You have some brains, Fenris Knight."

Redal chuckled, "Sim, go to the village and call the guards to come over with hemp ropes. Tom, come over and take off his clothes."

"Okay~"

Tom trotted over. It was great to fight with a strong commander, and he won with almost no effort.

"Knight, you are provoking a war between two nobles!"

Fenris panicked and began to struggle violently. He still had the same arrogant look at the beginning, but the sword on his neck was too sharp. He just moved a little and felt something warm on his neck. flow.

He bleeds...

Redal looked down at the other party with contempt: "You are the one who provoked me."

Soon, the guards stationed in Huitu Village came out and tied everyone in the black-collar tribe from head to toe with ropes. They were wrapped so tightly that they couldn't stand up at all and couldn't use their strength.

"Arrange for guards to watch day and night."

Redal ordered: "If anyone wants to escape, just stab him with a sword."

After saying this, he looked at the only craftsman from the black-collar tribe who was not tied up and was kneeling on the ground shivering.

"Go back and tell your leader, and ask him to tell the baron of Thain. If you want someone, come with enough sincerity to redeem him in three days. Let's go!"

When the craftsman heard this, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He stood up tremblingly and ran towards the black-collar tribe like crazy.

"Sir, will Baron Leisen bring people to attack us instead of ransoming him?" Bablin was worried at the side.

"It's possible."

Redal nodded, "Intensify patrols in the past few days. In addition, Tom, you should go back to Hillwood Town now, inform the lord of what is going on here, and ask for instructions on how to deal with it."

He had indeed been able to temporarily tolerate it, lead his people back to Huitu Village, and then ask Luo Ning for instructions on how to deal with it.

But since Ronin appointed Redal as commander, the latter has the right to handle matters on his own.

In Ruidal's view, there is nothing to say about territorial disputes like this. Big fists are just the reason.

Rydal knew Fenris' strength, and he was sure that his fist was big, so he did so.

As for the subsequent negotiations, that is a matter led by the lord.

The one with the advantage is one's own side, and there is nothing to lose in the negotiation.

As for who made the first move and who ignored it, who can say clearly?
