Start as Inherited Baroness

The next day, Simon woke up early after a good sleep, stretched his legs and feet, and walked out of the cabin.

"Lord Baron, breakfast has been prepared. Do you want to eat now?" Hilde, who was standing guard outside the door, saluted and said respectfully.

“Well, get it over here.

Nothing happened last night, right? Simon nodded and asked casually.

"Sir, there is nothing special except for some wolf howls." Hilde replied immediately.

"Uh... By the way, sir, there was a very special roar in the southwest in the middle of the night. I don't know what it was.

But it should be far away from us. "He suddenly thought of something again and added.

"Yeah."

Simon nodded and didn't pay much attention. There were a lot of monsters in the deep forest. As long as they didn't rush out to cause trouble, they couldn't control that much.

After a while, Mailan and others brought breakfast, including barley porridge, vegetable soup, butter, grilled steak, etc.

Much richer than before.

After finishing the meal, Simon went to assemble the team and prepare to return to the base camp.

The freedmen will also be brought back together, and a place will be arranged to establish a village, which will also be a source of tax revenue and labor force.

However, before setting off, Simon took another look at the outpost and felt that it was still a bit too thin.

Immediately, everyone was recruited, a lot of wood was cut, and the post was heightened and reinforced. The outer wall was composed of three layers of logs, and the tallest tower was nearly ten meters.

In this way, it would be much easier for Shelter to lead people to guard this place. It would be impossible to conquer it without paying a price.

After strengthening the outpost, it was almost noon. Simon looked at the sky and immediately ordered to set off.

The freedmen drove the bullock carts on the road, while the soldiers rode on the side of the horse.

In a blink of an eye, it was dusk and they arrived at Anning Village.

Since the oxcart was carrying grain, it moved slowly, so we still couldn't go back today and had to stay in this village for one night.

"Sir, look!" At this moment, Mailan suddenly spoke up and pointed to the north.

"Huh?" Simon looked in the direction he pointed and saw a dozen soldiers on horseback running towards them, holding a flag.

When you get closer, you can see clearly that the sun and moon are painted on the flag.

"It's Sir Knight Sarit!" Mailan shouted.

"Yeah." Simon also recognized it, and his heart sank, why is he here? Did something happen to the old place?

He was suddenly overwhelmed with thoughts and worries.

It didn't take long for Sarit and others to rush to Simon and join them.

"Lord Baron! Seeing that you have not returned for a long time, Mrs. Wyness was worried, so she sent her subordinates to look for you."

he shouted, after bowing on his horse.

"Oh! Some unexpected events delayed it! We can go back tomorrow." Simon heard this and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, there was a warmth in my heart. It felt good to have someone remember me.

Before he traveled through time, he didn't have this kind of treatment.

"Sir! Since nothing happened, I rushed back overnight!" Sarit asked again.

“Let’s finish our meal first, otherwise we will be exhausted and the road will be more dangerous.

Give your horse more black beans. Simon thought for a while and said.

"Yes!" Sarit responded without refusing.

"Hurry up and arrange for someone to set up the pot and cook." Immediately afterwards, Simon ordered.

"Yes!" Mailan responded and immediately went to make arrangements.

Not long after, several pots of barley porridge were cooked. Salit and others immersed themselves in eating, and the horses were led to be fed by Mailan and others.

After they had eaten and drank enough, before the last twilight had set on the horizon, they mounted their horses and galloped away.

Simon watched them until they disappeared from sight.

At this time, the village chief Fike stood in the distance, saluted him respectfully, and called: "Lord Baron, we killed a chicken, roasted it, and presented it to you."

Simon smiled when he heard this, looked at him and said, "Really! Get it quickly."

"Yes!" Fick smiled like a dogleg and asked the two women to hand over the roast chicken.

Simon took a look and saw that the chicken was roasted to a bright yellow color, and it seemed that some spices had been added to enhance the flavor. The craftsmanship was quite good.

But he did not eat immediately, but said, "Mailan, give them a basket of barley."

"Thank you, kind master! You are the queen of heaven..." Hearing this, Fike knelt down quickly, half-reciting and half-singing with a tearful voice.

Simon couldn't help but feel amused and laughed out loud.

"Yes." Upon seeing this, Mailan responded respectfully and took Fick and the women to get it.

Simon looked at the roasted chicken on the big wooden plate again, stepped forward and smelled it, it was delicious! It is indeed fragrant!

But he has not yet learned the art of detecting poisons, so he cannot know whether the chicken is poisonous or not.

After much hesitation, he decided to save his life and there would be plenty of opportunities to satisfy his cravings in the future.

"Silde, give this chicken to the two servants who collected it from Anning Village." He ordered.

"Yes!" Hilde responded, carrying the wooden tray.

Afterwards, Simon drank some barley porridge and had a simple dinner with a piece of grilled steak.

Not long after, we went to rest in the best wooden house in the camp.

This room formerly belonged to Baron Hela, but no one seems to be occupying it now.

People like Fike don't seem to dare live in a house that is too big.

As for other soldiers, those who are quick can occupy some vacant wooden houses, while those who are slow can only set up tents outside.

As time goes by, gradually, the night gets darker.

Simon has already fallen asleep.

"Open the door! Open the door quickly!! Give us some food! Otherwise, we'll go in and kill all the people with eggs!!"

"Open the door! Open the door! Bang bang bang! Bang!!"

There was a sudden noise outside the camp, and the sound of heavy objects hitting, a bit like a gong, resounding through the sky in the quiet night.

Simon was woken up without any surprise.

"Fuck! Who's going crazy!"

He was in a strong morning mood, holding the sword, frowning, and looking out through the window.

It was pitch black outside, with only a little light from the campfire in the center.

"Sir, it seems that there are bandits outside, let's open the door."

Mai Lan and others who were setting up tents outside the door also got up at this time, a little confused about the situation.

"What?! I just built a free village in this deserted place, and it has attracted robbers??"

"Attack the city! Kill! Kill all the eggs! Bang bang bang! Bang!!" At this time, such a voice came faintly from outside.

Simon's face changed instantly, and he screamed: "Hurry up and organize the defense! How many robbers are there outside?"

At this time, most of the soldiers were actually awakened and organized by Aire. He was on his way to the watchtower.

"Lord Aire! It's too dark outside, and I can't see how many people there are, but there are noises everywhere."

The soldier on duty reported.

Eare heard it himself without the soldiers saying it. It was indeed everywhere, like the sound of metal colliding.

It was pitch black outside, and I couldn't see what was going on. The range that the torch could illuminate was too limited.

"Don't act rashly! Archers aim at the outer wall, and shoot anyone who climbs the wall immediately!

The first and second teams of the followers will guard the south gate, the third and fourth teams will guard the north gate, and the guards will support in the middle, and pay attention to the outer walls on both sides!

Also, light more torches..."

Aile climbed down the watchtower and arranged it calmly despite being startled.
