Starting Life as a Baron - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Knights Wear Armor, Pirates Attack

“Hehe, are they finally here?”

Alan didn’t focus on doing the main mission for the past two weeks. Instead, he only did some side missions that provided him with low experience points.

His current level was still level five, and his experience bar displayed 8,200/10000.

He still needed more experience points before he could level up.

Fortunately, two weeks later, his main mission and two side missions were about to be completed.

“Grandpa Edward, take out my knight armor.”

Alan woke up and called for the Butler, Edward.

“My Lord, what are you going to do?”

Edward was puzzled. He did not understand what Alan was doing in the middle of the night.

“Grandpa Edward, I have been told by the gods that there are people who want to kill my people and plunder our wealth and the spirit of nature.”

A trace of coldness flashed in Alan’s gaze.

“What?!”

Edward’s old face sank slightly. Alan was a nobleman and a Lord!

No one was allowed to target his territory or property.

If someone dared to invade the territory of noble Lords, it was undoubtedly an attempt to start a war.

For once, Edward’s face was very hard to look at: “Those damn shameless bugs! How dare they attack the territory of the Thorn Flower family!”

“Don’t worry, Grandpa Edward, I was prepared!”

Alan smiled slightly.

“Could it be the fortifications on the beach!?”

Edward was not stupid. He understood Alan’s meaning in an instant, and he also understood why Alan would let people build fortifications by the sea.

Soon, Alan’s knight armor and sword were brought by the servants. At this moment, Alan ordered the servants to inform Marco to gather all the soldiers at the gate of the castle and wait for him to come out.

As a child of the Thorn Flower family, even though Alan was not favored by the Earl, he was still given armor.

This was a knight’s armor made by the best blacksmiths in the Earl’s territory, and it was blessed by the sorcerers who were employed by the Earl.

It had a strong defense and a certain degree of magic power.

“Help the Lord put on the armor!”

Edward said to the two male servants.

Alan stood quietly, and the two male servants helped him change clothes and put on the knight armor.

The gorgeous knight armor that exuded bursts of cold light was quickly put on. Alan’s originally handsome face matched this set of knight armor engraved with thorn flowers to make it more handsome and full of heroic spirit.

After putting on the knight armor, Alan walked out of the castle. Outside the castle, there were fifty warriors ready to go.

As per Alan’s order, twenty soldiers were now patrolling the beach, and no one was allowed to go near the beach.

This order was meant to prevent the traitor, who was hiding among the townspeople, from sending messages to the enemy.

“My Lord!”

Marco had a glint in his eyes when he saw Alan, who was wearing armor and holding a sword.

He knelt on the ground and saluted Alan.

At the same time, fifty soldiers behind him also knelt.

“My Lord!”

Alan nodded his head in satisfaction. “Warriors, I have received the enlightenment of the god! Evil people are spying on my territory. They are predators, aggressors!”

“They are going to invade my territory, hurt my people, and rob our property. We will not let these damn greedy bastards take a step into Rose Town!”

“Warriors, what should we do in the face of such trash?”

Alan raised his arm and shouted, “Kill, kill! Kill them all!”

Then he jumped onto his horse and led everyone towards the beach.

When Alan brought his men to the beach, three-masted sailboats could already be seen on the sea heading towards Rose Town.

“My Lord! It’s a ship! Pirate ships! These filthy bastards are actually targeting Rose Town!”

Marco’s face became ugly and, at the same time, his heart became more and more shocked.

Not just him, everyone present, and even some of the townspeople who had been awakened were shocked.

They had originally thought Alan was just planning for a rainy day, but they didn’t expect that someone actually wanted to invade Rose Town.

Marco thought about what Alan had just said.

That’s right! The Baron received a notification from a god!

The Lord was someone who was being watched by the God of War. His future would definitely be glorious!

Marco thought in his heart. Everyone else also had the same idea.

After all, Alan had created miracles more than once. It was no wonder that he could even predict unknown dangers in advance.

What an incredible power this was!

Only gods could do this!

Alan didn’t know that his image was constantly rising deep in everyone’s hearts at this moment.

At this moment, he was calmly staring at the sea. At the same time, he was calling out to the sea lions in his mind.
