Rise In Calradia

　　 "Hurry up, we still have taxes to collect in two villages."

　　 Eleon was riding on a military horse, with a heavy package tied to the horseback behind him, which was full of silver coins and large amounts of copper coins.

The cavalry behind 　　 also brought a lot of goods. In the previous tax collection, some people could only use these things to pay off their debts if they could not get the silver. At the end of the line, there is even a cow.

　　 Eleon's work was not smooth. At the beginning, the elders expressed support for his work, but the villagers complained constantly, and it was not easy to explain their life with various reasons.

　　 It is true that in this era of frequent wars, ordinary civilians can afford to eat, and every household does not have much spare money.

　　Especially, King Harrods spends a lot of money and likes to expand his armaments. The burden on his people is not less than that of other regions.

　　Considering that Byron didn't really care about the remuneration for this job, Elaine also voluntarily advocated exempting the part of the tax that was originally to be allocated to Byron as a commission.

　　 But after some people expressed gratitude for paying the tax, other villagers hoped to deduct more or even exempt them from taxation.

　　 Eleon explained to them that they could not deal with the king, and the mercenaries would also have to eat and live. I hope they can cooperate.

　　 But how could these villagers let it go when they encountered such a good-talking mercenary. They began to surround them with complaints, trying to make Elaine give up collecting taxes. Their actions even made some villagers who originally wanted to pay taxes started to wait and see and collected their money.

　　 Eleon was angry. As a child of a nobleman, he looked down on these ordinary farmers. He just weighed these poor people out of personal aristocratic pride, but he didn't expect the other party to be so perfunctory to him. He felt that he had shown enough aristocratic demeanor before, so he changed his face and threatened them. If they didn't pay the tax, they would go to their house and take it directly. What was the value would be worth it, and they were not allowed to.

　　 The villagers also became angry, changed their previous poor image, took out sticks and pitchforks from the house, swearing to protect their property.

　　 And they also have their own reasons. King Harous has already collected this year's tax, and it was collected in advance. They can't bear to collect next year's tax in advance like this.

　　 Moreover, if the noble knights came, they would still dare not do anything because of the aristocratic deterrence, so they would pay the money obediently.

　　 But if only a group of mercenaries came to collect taxes, it would be very different.

　　The people in the village all gathered around, complaining about Eleon's incompatibility, and holding weapons, they kept approaching them.

　　 While I promised to help Elaine's elders before, he stopped talking at this time and stayed watching the show.

　　 Eleon was really angry. He threatened these villagers and told them that they were ordered by the king. Even if the peony mercenary started, it would be irresponsible.

　　 This sentence is true. When Earl Claes gave them the task, he told them that if the peasants dared not pay taxes, they could use a little force.

　　 After several unbelievers of villagers were beaten with scabbards by Eleon and mercenary cavalry, the other talents stopped, and the elders also stepped out to make a round, and Elon’s mission was completed. When they left the village, they had to endure the eyes of the villagers looking at their enemies.

　　 Elaine understood why Byron didn’t like to take over this task. In the past, he helped collect taxes in the area of ​​Dherim, and Byron was able to persuade the villagers to pay taxes by relying on the reputation of peony mercenaries. Here, he felt like a robber who had entered the village. It's no wonder that nobles don't want to do it by themselves, but hand it over to mercenaries, letting them bear part of the infamy for themselves.

　　 So although the task is completed, Eleon's mood is not beautiful.

　　He walked on the small road in the country, hoping that it would be easier when the next place collects taxes.

　　 But just when he was depressed, the cavalry in charge of the investigation ran over, and many arrows flew from behind him.

　　 "There are robbers!"

　　 After the cavalry finished shouting, the rest of the soldiers all drew their weapons, raised their shields, and were ready for battle.

　　 A group of archers with linen hoods ran out from the nearby forest, chasing the cavalry just now.

Soon, Elaine discovered that many robbers armed with bows and arrows and various blunt weapons had emerged from the easily overlooked corners. Their targets were obviously the things on Elaine’s carriage and Elle. The silver coin bag behind Eun.

　　 "We are the Green Forest Brotherhood, hand over your unjust gains!"

A bandit leader wearing a plate armor on his chest and holding a mace stood up. It can be seen from the scars on his face and hands. He has participated in many battles, and some of the wounds were the heat of the opponent during the siege. Left by the oil.

　　 "This is the property of the villagers, and you nobles' running dogs have no right to own it!"

The robbers who claimed to be the Brotherhood did not give Alain and the others a chance to argue or negotiate. They rushed over, and in the distance there were also several light cavalry on horseback rushing here, each People wear hoods in their heads.

　　 "Attack!"

　　 Eleon drew his sword, and the soldiers behind him also roared and rushed towards the opponent.

　　 A few days later, in the peony mercenary office in Dhrim~www.novelmt.com~ an angry Byron broke the cup and roared in the room.

　　 "What the **** brotherhood, what the **** hat, do they think they are playing Assassin's Creed?!"

　　 Several other heroes sat aside, and none of them looked normal. There were many bandages on Eleon's arms and abdomen, and his face was blue.

　　 The **** Green Forest Brotherhood killed 11 of them and wounded more than a dozen of them, just relying on a large group of unorganized and undisciplined thugs and robbers. They stole most of the goods, and the guy in the lead also left many wounds on his body under the cover of the archer. He can accept this kind of shame!

　　Byron is really on fire this time. There was an error in the mission. It doesn't matter if he is not paid, but the lives of those elite soldiers and the loss of reputation of the Peony mercenaries are irreparable. Since the mercenary team won the last baron battle, there has been no other armed force to challenge them. This made him careless about these robbers, and because of this he was severely humiliated by these robbers.

"They regard themselves as the Brotherhood, but we are the Knights Templar from time to time. We are peony mercenaries, and we will not ignore the deaths and injuries of our brothers! Gather all of us who can fight, prepare horses and weapons, I We must uproot this Green Forest Brotherhood! Let all Xiao Xiaoxiao know the price of incurring peony mercenaries!"

　　 Although they don't understand the meaning of Byron's two metaphors, the heroes all know what the second half of Byron's sentence means, and they nodded non-uniformly.

　　 Eleon stood up, the blue veins on his arm violently, shocked Jamila, and hurriedly went to check his wound.

　　 "Mr. Mercy, please let me participate in this battle anyway. I must personally end up with that guy who insulted me!"
