Chapter 337 Attack
Carlos slowly descended and landed near the newly discovered dock.
Compared with the dock of Knight Vali in front of him, the one in front of him was very small and very simple. It was probably only able to dock a ship of 20 to 30 meters long.
Not far from the dock, a simple wooden shed was built, and a lot of wood of similar length could be seen piled up in the shed.
"Generally speaking, the goods from Rapids Island will be transported to Vali's port and then shipped away. The wood here..."
Combined with what Knight Vali said before, "It has become increasingly difficult to demand the wood from the White Flower Society recently", Ronin guessed that the White Flower Society had privately built this dock and had their own channels for external communication to smuggle wood.
In this way, relying on the supplies brought by the smuggling ship and the potatoes grown, they no longer needed Vali to provide food for survival, and they were freed from the shackles and became independent.
But they didn't know that the matter of Rapids Island was reported to the upper level so quickly, and His Majesty the King personally sent someone to deal with the matter.
After investigating the dock, Ronin flew into the air on Carlos and continued to investigate the residence of the White Flower Society.
Perhaps the ancestors of the White Flower Society were all criminals who were detained in a centralized manner, or perhaps they needed to work in a centralized manner, so the houses here were relatively concentrated.
Although the further north you go, the more traces of logging you can find, but compared to the forest on the entire Rapids Island, the area logged by humans only occupies a small area.
There are also sufficient oak resources on this island.
After investigating the White Flower Society, Ronin flew around the residential area of the Larne Society.
In comparison, the Larne Society is more "honest". Not only did they not see any signs of eating potatoes, but there were also no signs of smuggling wood.
They negotiated with Vali, perhaps more for the purpose of eating more and asking for more.
After investigating all this, Ronin returned to the port.
While Ronin was investigating, Luchi, Missy and Vali had already started to arrange tomorrow's offensive and defensive affairs.
Relying on the advantage of the port's protective wall, even if the people of the Larn Society come to seize the port, with Knight Reis leading the defense, there should be no problem.
Early the next morning, a team of nearly 100 people assembled 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, Vali was full of confidence for a while.
In the past, when he went there, he could only bring 30 people, which was already very limited. In that case, the opponent had more people and he did not dare to go deep.
Now there are not only more people on our side, but also several silver knights and royal griffins. It is almost difficult for the opponent to deal with any one of them.
Ronin smiled and said: "This time, we only target the leader of the White Flower Society. As long as the others do not participate in the resistance, we don't have to raise our swords to them."
Vali nodded, "I understand, after all, someone needs to do the work of cutting oak later. Killing one more person means one less laborer, and the kingdom will lose a piece of wood."
Ronin couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
It seems that after so many years of management, Knight Vali has learned how to exploit the labor force.
Perhaps compared to the White Flower Society and the Laen Society, the descendants of prisoners under Vali's direct management have a harder life.
After all, someone will have to make up for the wood that the White Flower Society owes.
The Laen Society has a certain degree of autonomy and can bargain, but those who are directly under Vali's control can only work hard.
There are no war horses, and except for Missy, everyone else walks on land.
Fortunately, although it is a mountain road, a road has been trampled out for transporting wood over the years, and it is still convenient to walk.
The crowd walked towards the White Flower Society's territory in a swaggering and dignified manner.
When passing under a hillside, Missy in the air saw someone on the top of the mountain running quickly towards the inside. It seems that it should be someone arranged by the White Flower Society to stand guard here.
With the speed of the griffin, it is not difficult to chase this person as long as she is willing.
But according to Ronin's plan, even if the other side has sentries, let the sentries go back to report the news, so that the other side can gather all the rebels, and save him from interrogating and screening one by one later.
Not long after, in the mountain stronghold of the White Flower Society.
"Sir, Knight Vali is coming with people!"
The sentry brought the information back, "This time they have more people, I estimate there are hundreds of people."
At this time, there are two people sitting above, among whom the burly and waisted man with a scar on his face is the leader of the White Flower Society, Marcelo, and there is a big beard sitting on his side.
The two looked at each other, and Marcelo smiled and said, "Vali actually transferred most of the personnel stationed at the port at once. It seems that our neighbor is really anxious."
He did not get the information from the port, and did not know that four ships came to Jiliu Island yesterday.
So he would think that Vali came with all the guards.
The big beard smiled and said, "He should be afraid that he will not deliver enough goods for many consecutive times, which will cause dissatisfaction from above."
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, Vali's status is a bit like the warden of an open-air prison. After completing ten years of guarding, he can get enough merits and rewards. If he performs well, he may even be promoted to baron.
"We can't push him too hard. If he is too tough this time, we will promise him to transport some wood to him."
Marcelo nodded. A not-so-strong defender of Rapids Island is beneficial to them.
"Let's go, call everyone, 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 in a black crowd.
Most of them wore rough linen clothes, tattered, and they were not holding regular weapons in their hands, but machetes and axes for cutting 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 armed by Marcelo recently with the weapons and equipment provided by Clifford.
"We are still lacking some core combat power." Marcelo couldn't help but worry. "If we confront 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 worry was relieved.
"Yes, Vali is just a bronze knight. He can be domineering in front of us, but facing a golden knight like you, he can only kneel down and beg for mercy."
The two parties walked towards each other and soon met in a small valley.
But when they approached and saw the people coming, both Marcelo and the golden knight Clifford were dumbfounded.
The other party was tall and strong, and they all wore standard armor. The stuff was higher-end than theirs at a glance.
"No, that's not right!"
Marcelo was a little panicked, "This is not 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)
