I'm not a lord

Chapter 2: Becoming a Baron
Friends who often kill people know that it is easy to kill but difficult to bury the body.

But for Lin En, who is an expert in this field, this kind of thing is already a piece of cake.

Long before setting up the ambush, he had ordered his men to dig a large pit more than one meter deep in the dense forest.

Now all we have to do is throw the bodies and bloody clothes in and then fill it back up.

They are in charge of both killing and burying.

And it must be buried deep to prevent it from being dug out by wild beasts with sharp noses.

Lynn's team even had its own military chaplain who was in charge of the killing, burial, and funeral.

This is called a professional.

The third bandit, who looked like an honest old farmer but had just turned twenty, asked curiously as he was shoveling the dirt, "Brother, are you really going to be a baron?"

The third child seems slow, but he is actually smart and careful in his actions.

Before Lin En could speak, the third brother put on a layer of armor and said, "Brother, we all know your abilities. Not to mention being a baron, even being a duke would be no problem."

Then he expressed his doubts: "How can being a lord be as comfortable as being a bandit? Besides, you're pretending to be a baron, so it's easy to be exposed."

Lin En didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "Third Brother, don't you want to change the way you live?"

"Change your way of life?"

"Have you forgotten how we were hunted down by the nobles in the south a while ago?" As he spoke, Lin En covered Baron Roman's face with a shovel of dirt.

"I can't forget. Those bastards chased us for two whole months, and more than a dozen of our brothers died at their hands." The third brother gritted his teeth, wishing he could eat those nobles alive.

Lin En grabbed the third brother's shoulder and said, "That's it. From today on, we are all nobles. I am a baron, you are my knights, and the rest of you are my squires. How great is that?"

"But brother, I've read the letter of appointment. Roman was directly appointed a baron by the Duke of the Swamp. It will be the Duke's army that's after us."

The third brother was not blinded by hatred. He knew very well that with the twenty or so horse bandits they had, they might be able to bully the weak baron, but when facing the duke, they would only be chased away.

As one of the three great dukes of the Northern Kingdom, the Duke of Swampland could easily mobilize hundreds of fully armed regular knights and chase them like wild rabbits running around.

"Don't worry, after a while, the Duke of Swamp won't have the energy to care about us anymore. Besides, who says that being a noble doesn't mean you can't continue to be free?

In the future, we will only rob more nobles, not only their money and lives, but also their wives and children, their territories and people."

Lynn didn't just come up with the idea of ​​impersonating the Baron on a whim.

The current situation in the North cannot be described as peaceful, but it can at least be said to be fraught with danger.

It just so happened that he ambushed and killed a useless baron on the way and got his letter of commission.

Troubled times are the stage.

It is difficult to make a name for yourself as a bandit, but it is different as a lord, at least you have the opportunity to come to power.

Only when he becomes a true lord will all the main functions of the game "Lord" be fully open to him.

After the ten bodies were buried, Lao Liu, who also served as a pastor, read the eulogy.

Afterwards, under Lin En's arrangement, more than 20 horse bandits changed into Roman's and his group's clothes, raised the flag of the Cold Wind Family, and rode the Cold Wind Family's war horses.

The only pity is that there is no accompanying advisor.

"Brothers, take up the White Bear Leader!"

In recent months, Albert, the chief steward of the White Bear Territory, has been plagued by sleepless nights. The previous baron mysteriously disappeared into the forest last winter, and even his body has never been found, with the only explanation being that it was a hunting accident.

Not long after, the four knights guarding the territory and their servants all fled, and took away all the treasures and horses in the castle.

The baron had no children, and according to the Northern inheritance law, the territory belonged to the distant Earl of Cold Wind's family. The new baron could not take office until spring.

Fortunately, there was heavy snow in the winter, the weather was extremely cold, and the roads were frozen, otherwise the tribes of barbarians in the northern forest would have come south to plunder.

The weather is getting warmer day by day, and Albert's heart is getting more and more anxious.

When the snow melts in spring, it is not only the barbarians who come to visit the territory, but also hungry and ferocious monsters.

A territory without armed protection is also vulnerable to looting by bandits and neighboring territories.

Albert prays devoutly before going to bed every night, hoping to spend every tomorrow safely.

Perhaps his prayers worked, as he received good news today.

The new baron braved the cold wind to rush to the territory and would arrive there that afternoon.

Albert was so excited that he almost cried.

He quickly summoned the managers and village heads in the territory, and just after noon, he arrived at the southernmost intersection of the territory, waiting eagerly.

Just as the low-level managers of the territory had gathered, they saw a team slowly walking out of the forest.

The most eye-catching thing is a red flag fluttering in the wind, with two straight pine trees embroidered on it.

It is the family emblem of the Hanfeng family.

As far as Albert knew, although the Cold Wind Family was only an earl family, they were earls directly under the King of the North and were deeply trusted by successive Kings of the North. Their status and strength were far higher than those of ordinary earls.

More than a hundred years ago, the founder of the Cold Wind Family followed the first King of the North to conquer the North. Because of his bravery in battle, he was awarded the title of Cold Wind Valley and became an Earl.

The family therefore changed their surname to "Hanfeng", abandoning their previous lowly surname.

Afterwards, the Cold Wind Family quickly expanded in the North.

One of the branches joined the Duke of Swamp, conquered and developed the White Bear Territory to the north, and settled there for generations.

Now that the side branch has died out, the main family has actually sent the second son of the head of the family to take over the territory, and he also brought a neat and powerful team of cavalry, which shows how much the family values ​​this territory.

Looking at this elite cavalry that looked very reliable from a distance, Albert couldn't help but feel his heart surge and his old face flushed.

When the Baron comes, the territory is safe. When the Baron comes, the territory is peaceful!
Albert, with his almost rusty body, staggered to the intersection and bumped into the leading knight holding the flag.

He looked up and saw the man on horseback wearing mail armor and a red and green robe embroidered with gold thread. His hair was brown and black, with naturally curled ends, and was thick enough to fall over his shoulders. His face was as sharp as a knife, with three-dimensional and strong eyebrows and eyes, and a calm expression.

"Respected sir, welcome to White Bear Territory."

Albert knows a little about physiognomy.

At a glance, one can tell that the person is extremely noble and must be a baron.

In addition to facial features, gorgeous clothes can also help identify identity.

At this time, the person with the highest status in a team is often the one with the most colors on his body.

When Lin En got off the horse, Albert found that the old man was over 1.8 meters tall, with a handsome and straight figure. At first glance, his face looked like a mature man of 25 or 26, but a closer look revealed a bit of the youthfulness of 18 or 19.
