king of the castle

Chapter 243 Retaliation

Although Roger hated Viscount Wood deeply, he still couldn't do the same thing that the other party targeted civilians. 【】Doing this is just like the heinous terrorists on the earth. Roger thinks that he is not so low-level, so he targets the officials and troops who serve Viscount Wood.

The first to suffer were the tax collectors Wood had sent out recently.These guys are guarding the road leading to Kent, imposing heavy taxes on all merchants who go to Roger's territory.In fact, the scope of tax collection has recently been extended to ordinary pedestrians. No matter who or for what purpose, as long as they go to Kent, they will have to pay high taxes.Wood tried to use this method to invade Roger's territory, and those dog legs who collected taxes under him naturally became Roger's most hated object.

These tax officials usually only bring a dozen or so guards with them, and dare to stop caravans of dozens or even hundreds of people to collect taxes.What they relied on was the authority of the local lord, not the strength of the mere dozen or so people.However, for Roger, who made Wood's authority worse than a fart, these tax collectors were the best targets.

In just half a day, the six tax collection stations under Wood's management, which were distributed along the roadsides, were all destroyed by a group of unidentified people.Those swaggering tax officials survived along with dozens of guardsmen.Their bodies were neatly placed next to the tax collection station, with the exception of a line of common words written in blood on the ground: This is the fate of offending me!

Roger did all these things, of course.Although Roger did not reveal his identity, he believed that Old Wood must be well aware of this.But Roger didn't leave any clues at all, and it was impossible for Old Wood to accuse him to the kingdom, so he could only suffer from such a dumb loss.

Although Roger wiped out six tax collection stations in half a day, his desire for revenge was not satisfied.The tragic situation of the murdered villagers in Shanglu Village still occasionally appeared in front of his eyes, making Roger decide to continue the revenge action.

Roger's next target was the Telavi military camp about sixty miles north of Karachi.There are about [-] soldiers stationed here all year round, and it is the place where the largest number of troops are stationed in Telly County except Karachi City.These soldiers are usually responsible for the security of the entire northern part of Telley County, including exterminating the fleeing orcs, collecting taxes from passing merchants, hunting down fugitives wanted by the lord, and everything else.

Perhaps in the eyes of other people, the combat effectiveness of the five hundred soldiers in the Telavi barracks was very strong, but to Roger, it was just average.Now there are about [-] soldiers under Roger's command, which is more than enough to deal with these enemies.

The Telavi barracks is heavily guarded, with strong wooden fences surrounding several rows of barracks, and there are tall watchtowers on the four corners of the barracks.If an ordinary army tries to attack the barracks, they will be spotted from a long distance, and the soldiers in the barracks can quickly prepare for battle and deal a head-on blow to the invading enemy.

However, this method is only effective for ordinary troops. When Roger appeared alone in the sight of the sentries, he did not attract much attention.The Telavi barracks was originally built on the side of the main road, and caravans or passers-by would often pass by. The sentinel regarded Roger as a passerby.

"Stop, what are you doing?" When Roger walked slowly to the front and back of the barracks, the sentinel shouted loudly: "If you want to pass through here, pay a toll of one silver coin, otherwise it is forbidden to pass!"

"Nimma, it turns out that this is not only a military camp, but also a toll station. I didn't expect that there is a toll road in the world of Torenzo." Roger couldn't help but slander a few words at the sentinel's words, but he soon realized that this was also a toll road. A good opportunity to easily break through the barracks.

Roger, who was planning to storm the Telavi barracks, immediately changed his plan, took out a money bag from his arms in a hurry, and "accidentally" overturned the money bag, and all the gold coins in it fell to the ground.Under the sunlight, the ground reflected heart-pounding golden light, and the eyes of the two sentinels became hot in an instant.It never occurred to them that this silly-looking guy was so rich.The two quickly exchanged a look, and both saw undisguised greed in each other's eyes.

Roger didn't seem to notice the malice of the two soldiers at all. He received all the gold coins slowly, and then held a gold coin and said to the sentry: "I only have gold coins, you can give me some money!"

Roger's words made the sentry smile proudly, and one of them immediately smiled and said, "Okay, come with me to the barracks, I'll give you some change!"

Those who are paid to serve in the Telavi barracks are not good people.Not to mention that these guys claim to be soldiers under Viscount Wood's command, but sometimes they also play the role of a robber, and their target is a rich, stupid and lonely guy like Roger.

However, it is always unsafe to do it on the road with people coming and going, so the sentinel decided to trick Roger into the barracks before doing it.For these soldiers, there is no pressure to kill such ordinary civilians. At that time, they will be charged with refusing to pay taxes and attacking soldiers, and they will get a lot of money.

"Okay, let's go." Roger didn't realize that he was in danger at all, and simply followed the sentry into the barracks.

"You just wait here, I'll go...!" The sentinel took Roger to a remote place in the barracks, intending to use words to stabilize him before making a move, but suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and what he wanted to say was rejected blocked back.He lowered his head instinctively, and found that the tip of the sword with a cold light had protruded from his chest, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes in horror.

The sentinel tried to open his mouth to shout, but Roger flipped his wrist and slit his throat with his sword.This guy fell to the ground in astonishment, until he died, he didn't understand why this stupid guy dared to kill him in the barracks.

"If you want to take advantage of my brother, wait for the next life." Roger said coldly, looking at the sentry's body, and then summoned all the soldiers.

The soldiers in the Telavi barracks did not expect that the enemy would sneak into the barracks without them knowing, and it was not just one or two enemies, but a full 400 regular troops with well-equipped and fully equipped arms!Under such circumstances, the outcome of the battle was sealed from the start.

Before the enemy could react, Roger commanded his soldiers to launch an aggressive attack.Many people ran out of the barracks in a panic without even taking their weapons and armor. They were either shot to death by crossbowmen, or stabbed to death by iron spear soldiers and long sword soldiers waiting in full battle.

There were also a few soldiers in the barracks who formed formations to resist, but how could they be opponents of an enemy whose number was several times as large?The organized resistance was soon completely disintegrated, and Roger divided his soldiers into many groups to eliminate the chaotic enemy in the barracks.The light cavalry are scattered around the barracks, and any enemy who tries to escape here will be chased by them to ensure that no fish is missed.

The commander of the Telavi barracks is Captain Fowler, who is also the most powerful person in the barracks.It is said that Lord Wood wants Fowler to study at the knight school in the capital next year. As long as he can pass all the tests, he will be able to become a real knight in three years.With Fowler having reached the level of black iron advanced strength so far, he is very hopeful that he can successfully graduate from the knight school.

However, when Fowler, who has a good chance of becoming a knight in the future, meets Roger, an official knight, it will inevitably become a tragedy.Fowler, who is of high-level black iron strength, is not Roger's opponent at all, and was soon stabbed with a sword, and his ideal of becoming a knight will never be realized.

After the commander was beheaded, the soldiers in Telavi's barracks were even more chaotic.It took only a short time for Roger to turn the barracks into history.Of course, he did not forget to write the standard message on the wall of the barracks before leaving. Presumably, this sentence will soon spread throughout Terry County and become a topic that many people talk about.

Although Roger swept up four tax collection stations and one barracks in a row, all the battles ended in most of the day.Naturally, there was a reason for him to attack so vigorously, in order to confuse Old Wood.

You must know that the distance between the tax collection station and the barracks is not close. Roger relied on the extremely fast pace of the nightmare beast to complete all the attack missions in a short period of time.So many places were attacked in such a short period of time, Old Wood must have thought that the other party had sent multiple teams to launch an attack when he was surprised.This can make Old Wood overestimate the current strength of Roger's hands, and scare him from continuing to use force.

After seven consecutive attacks, Roger rode the Nightmare Beast and went straight to the city of Karachi.This is not to say that he is so arrogant that he thinks that the city can be conquered by only one person, but that there is still a gift for Old Wood.

All the heads of the two teams that entered Roger's territory were all in his castle warehouse at this time. Including Neo, there were a total of 190 four heads, each of which was quite a lot.Now Roger is going to give these heads as gifts to this neighbor. Now that he has decided to take revenge, he will hit the other party once and be afraid, so that he will not dare to mess around again in the future.

Before the news of the attack on the tax collection station and the Telavi barracks reached Karachi City, Roger easily sneaked into the city, looking for an opportunity to put the large box containing the human head outside the side door of the Viscount's Mansion.After doing all this, he left quickly, leaving the city of Karachi before anyone found out what the box contained.

Just as Roger walked out of the city gate, there was a rush of sirens behind him.A large group of soldiers ran out and closed the city gate, and those who were about to leave the city were all driven back with whips.

Roger knew that the gift he gave must have been discovered, that's why the city of Karachi was facing such an enemy.There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, he strode away without looking back, and quickly disappeared at the end of the road.
