The Immortal Wizard is watching

Chapter 57
At first glance, this situation seems very reasonable.

Thinking that their companions had been treated unfairly in the city, the mercenaries outside the city chose to rob the caravan for revenge.

And as the acting city lord of Blackstone City, Ronan is indeed obliged to ensure the safety of the roads of the Blackstone Commercial Road and send troops to fight against the robbers.

Viscount Pax's castle army was established for this purpose, and it was specially trained as fast-moving cavalry to facilitate clearing.

But as long as you think about it carefully, you can find many problems.

First of all, with the contradictory relationship between mercenaries competing with each other and even fighting each other in the wild, would they be angry and want revenge because of what happened to their companions in the city?

Even if it was true, after losing the main force in the city, why would the remaining scattered gangs rob caravans with high force.

These caravans who dare to do long-distance transportation are not vegetarians, and they have many professional soldiers under their hands to deal with foreign enemies.

What's more, it didn't happen sooner or later, and the chamber of commerce only reported the matter to Ronan after he returned to Black Rock City.

Logically speaking, in the interests of the caravan, when the bandit group first appeared, they would unite to put pressure on him, the city lord, to get rid of the bandit group.

"I have understood the situation, and the problem of robbers will disappear in a short time." Ronan looked at Luca and responded.

"For the safety of the Blackstone business road, please solve it as soon as possible, Lord City Lord." Luca resigned excitedly.

Looking at his leaving figure, Ronan thought in his heart.

There is a high probability that this so-called robber attack is true, and most of its members are indeed scattered mercenaries.

But their leader may not be the case. It is very likely that there are external factors that forced these mercenaries together to form this bandit group.

Speaking of it, because most of the city defense forces are ordinary militiamen, they don't know how to ride horses, and their own combat power is not high.

However, the top ten knight commanders of the castle army died, and their strength declined severely.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ronan's current power is actually very limited.

If there are indeed multiple knight-level forces in this bandit group, occupying the terrain in the wild can really deal a major blow to the current castle army.

Thinking that one day, Earl Drake's children would arrive, and Ronan couldn't help wondering if it had something to do with him.

With Earl Drake's status, he certainly wouldn't engage in such a boring little trick.

But as his children, and the party without inheritance rights, it may not be so.

"Ed, get the soldiers ready, you need to take the soldiers out in a few days."

No matter what the opponent's situation is, it doesn't make sense to Ronan now.

Let Ed lead the soldiers to station outside Pekers Castle, while Ronan asked people to arrange the banquet needs in the castle and prepare to receive guests tomorrow.

At noon the next day, Ronan received news from the city gate that the carriage of the Drake family had arrived.

He took Cassana back to Pex Castle.

After two months of emotional relief, Cassana no longer resisted the castle as much as before.

With the help of her maid, Cassana changed into a sky-blue dress with a fur shawl over her shoulders to keep her warm.

"Ronan." Cassana, who came out of the room, came to Ronan and pulled his sleeve with her hand.

"What's the matter, are you uncomfortable?" Ronan looked at her face, her complexion was normal, not sick.

"No." Cassana quickly shook her head, "It's about that bad woman Eve. If she says something nasty, ignore her, okay? Just pretend she doesn't exist. The Earl's family is very powerful."

After speaking, Cassana gave him a worried look, for fear that he would be angry.

In her eyes, although Ronan is also very powerful, he is only a baron after all. She may not know how powerful Earl Drake is, and she is worried that he will conflict with that bad woman Eve.

Ronan must be the one who will suffer at that time, and she doesn't want to see that happen.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Ronan smiled and comforted her.

Speaking of which, because Black Rock City is too remote, no one has recognized his identity as the royal family of Ordosius until now.

Now, with the turmoil in the situation, the royal family, the Northern Lion Principality, the Orange Family, one after another behemoths have all involved Ronan's blood.

His existence will attract the attention of others sooner or later, so there is no need to continue to hide it.

At the same time, outside the castle, a luxurious carriage carved with vivid violet patterns arrived.

"This is the castle of the Viscount Pecks? It really is a poor and poor nobleman, it's really ugly."

A young man in a luxurious robe stepped out of the carriage, looking at the dusty stone castle not far away, his eyes revealed deep disgust.

"After living in Ziquan City for a long time, except for the Central Palace in Triumph City, you will feel this way everywhere you go."

Eve then got out of the carriage and said as usual.

"That's why I hate coming out, especially in such a terrible place." Brother Rand was full of displeasure, "When can we go back?"

"Stop complaining. I managed to get the right to visit from my father. I can't go back without taking Black Rock City into my hands."

Hearing her words, Rand's entire face collapsed at the thought that he might need to live here for a long time.

Then he remembered what happened here.

"I heard that all the people in the Pecks family were killed by vampires, and only Cassana survived, and she was lucky enough to inherit the title of Viscount." Rand said.

"Yeah, what luck, that kind of stupid girl can also become a Viscount."

Eve snorted coldly, "It didn't take long before I was deceived by a baron and handed over all my rights to the other party. What a joke. Who does she think she is, a princess in a fairy tale? There will still be a prince running to save him, I'm afraid he has been played with by others."

She has been chasing after so much, but the power she cannot get is easily obtained by the other party, which makes her feel strongly unbalanced.

What disgusted her even more was that Cassana actually handed over her rights in this way.

If it was him, he would definitely be able to firmly control the city.

Instead of letting her continue to be cheated by men for money and sex, it is better to hand over Black Rock City to her Eve.

"Ronan Orange." Rand read the name of the acting city lord of Black Rock City.

"Orange? The Earl's family on the east coast? Haven't they stayed on the east coast and overseas all this time? Why did they suddenly send people to the northern provinces?"

"Will come to a ghostly place like Cold Wind Leader, probably the most remote branch of the Orange family, the kind that is about to cut off its bloodline, so there is nothing to care about."

Eve said nonchalantly, "Go in and see what kind of thing that stupid girl and the so-called prince who deceived her were."
