In Lisbon, a carriage drove towards the guard post leading to the suburbs of the main road in the north of the city. The carriage contained a large wooden box, and the wooden box was slowly filled with a box of silver pesos.

This money is tax collected by Lisbon this month, and according to regulations, it is to be sent to Madrid immediately.

Therefore, dozens of Spanish knights followed closely behind the carriage, and it seemed that they were here to protect the carriage.

The war in the Netherlands continued to deteriorate. Although the nobles in Madrid only wanted to spend money, in order to ensure that they could continue to live a comfortable life, the affairs in the Netherlands could only be taken care of.

Therefore, Madrid is waiting for the tax revenue of various cities this month to solve the problem of military and financial tensions.

Of course, it is impossible for these taxes to be used for the war in the Netherlands, at most only 20% or 30%.

Most of the taxes, in addition to paying various expenses, were either embezzled and divided by nobles or used to fill in the deficits for the royal family.

"Hey, you have to be careful. I heard that there is no peace outside recently. A gang of robbers called the Knights of Sadaros often appears nearby and plunders various supplies."

The carriage slowly stopped near the post. The guard soldiers at the post checked the pass documents and kindly reminded them.

Wow!

The knights in the rear rode their horses to the garrison soldiers. The horse neighed and raised its two front hooves and then fell down. The knight was very chic.

"It's just some little thieves. These people are not taken seriously by us at all. My Sakai's sword is not a vegetarian."

After seeing this knight, the soldier's expression instantly became respectful.

"It turned out to be Lord Sakai. I didn't expect that you would personally escort these taxes this time. The robbers dare not peek at it. Your name is well known in Lisbon."

Yes, this knight is very famous in Lisbon. His swordsman is very superb and has a record of unbeaten duels of thirty-two duels. At the same time, he is also a bounty hunter, with hundreds of mortals arrested under him.

He is also a member of the Lisbon garrison and holds a middle-level military official position.

Sakai has the pride of the Spanish, and he always does not take others seriously because of his excellent swordsmanship.

This time, he personally escorted the taxes and did not take the recently famous Knights of Sadaros at all. Because in his opinion, these people were just robber groups composed of some farmers.

There were five or six robber groups like him who destroyed them.

The compliment from this newly-approved garrison soldier made Sakai very proud.

He raised his chin slightly and said to him with a proud look: "Don't let me meet these guys. If I meet them, I will definitely let them taste my sword."

shelf!

After saying that, Saka urged the mount under her crotch and rushed out.

The driver on the carriage shook the reins and followed closely behind.

The knights behind the carriage also started to move and rushed past the guard post behind the carriage.

The garrison soldier whistled and continued his duties.

No one noticed that a carrier pigeon flew out of the grass, and it flew into the distance with its wings.

"Ahh, this Sakai's words are really harsh. Did he really think he was the number one swordsman?"

About half an hour later, the carrier pigeon fell in a small wood northeast of Lisbon and stopped on the hand of a man wearing a round, wide-edged felt hat, black clothes and a black strip of cloth on his face.

The man took a small note from the legs of the carrier pigeon and looked at it, then smiled and said to his companions around him.

Around him, there were about a hundred men in black dressed like him.

If Zhao Hongyu was here, he would definitely shout "Zorro".

Yes, the dress of these men in black is the dress of the classic Spanish knight movie "Zorro".

Their outfit was made by following someone's advice.

"Not worry about this Sakai, I need to know if it's worth it."

At this time, a man rode his horse and slowly came out.

This person is no other person, it is Pedro, a young man who has dealt with Zhao Hongyu.

The leading knight saw Pedro coming out, and raised his hand and took off his blindfold and exposed his face.

This leading Cavalier signed a cooperation agreement with Zhao Hongyu, preparing to overthrow the Spaniards' Rano under Zhao Hongyu's training.

The two leaders of the Knights of Sadaros have now appeared.

"About 80,000 silver pesos and 500 gold pesos." Rano said the figures shown in the information, "This is a lot of money. We cannot control other cities, but I will never let the taxes in Lisbon be safely sent to Madrid."

Yoho!

When Lano finished speaking, the knights around him shouted loudly.

As Rano said, the amount of taxes to be sent to Madrid is really quite large.

Eighty thousand silver pesos, plus five hundred silver pesos, can make a person live a comfortable life.

And this money can be used to pay a legion of about 2,000 people, a year's military pay.

Since Rano and the others have embarked on the road to opposing Spain, any robbery that can weaken the Spanish cannot be spared.

And this is a good opportunity for them.

"Follow up and find an opportunity to grab the money, and then we can buy food from the Americans. With food, we can gather more refugees and expand our team, which is a great opportunity for us to not miss."

A glimmer flashed in Rano's eyes.

Pedro nodded: "Brothers, grab this money!"

Later, Rano, Pedro and the knights with about one hundred men drove into the jungle.

About a day later, in a hill with an uninhabited radius of 100 miles northeast of Madrid, Lisbon's taxes were robbed by the Knights of Sadaros, and all the guards escorted the taxes died in this place.

Even Sakai, the famous Sakai in Lisbon, was hung on a crooked tree. When these people were found, their bodies were rotten and smelly, and a large part of them were eaten by crows.

Lano and the others, who had grabbed the tax, only paid the price of two casualties.

They used the money to buy a large amount of food from the genetic people left behind in the concession. This food was used by Rano and Pedro to recruit wandering refugees and beggars near Lisbon.

It just so happened that Lisbon City was still fighting against the gang, so there were a lot of people wandering around.

This allowed Rano and his recruitment plan to be implemented smoothly.

Many of these relatives were arrested and sent to the American continent to do hard work.

Therefore, these people have a deep hatred for the Spaniards, and joining Rano and their team can be said to have chosen the right path.

After Rano and his team expanded, he began to selectively select those who were suffering and revenge, join the deeper echelon, and take them to do something slowly.

Not everyone can do things with Rano.

After all, they are all doing beheading, so it's not okay to be careful about this.

If someone betrays me, I will cry without tears.

But Lano and Pedro didn't know that their reputation was getting louder and louder, and behind this was the help of the genes left by Zhao Hongyu-

Dividing line—

"The whole village gathered all the people to the center of the village. Rano and Pedro of the Knights of Sadaros brought food to everyone, and these foods were stolen from the hands of the hateful Spanish."

I heard that there was food and hungry people walked out of their homes and came to the small square in the middle of the village.

A genetic man with makeup was promoting Rano and Pedro in a village where refugees gathered.

The villagers were originally excited, but when they heard that the food was stolen from the Spanish, they all showed a look of fear.

They are really afraid of things, and it seems that they have to push them.

The Genetic Human thought quickly after a quick glance.

"Why, you are almost starving to death. Don't you dare to eat Spanish food?"

The voice of genetic people has increased a lot.

But there was still silence below.

"Dogs! You are all enough! The Spanish dogs, but unfortunately the Spanish would rather starve you to death or sell you to the American continent. You don't know how to choose your owner as a dog, it's so sad!"

These words from genetic people made some people clench their teeth.

However, no one stood up at this time to get the food.

"Lano and Pedro fought a fierce battle with the Spaniards in order to get these foods. After losing more than a dozen brothers, they killed all the Spanish who were underweight. He could have enjoyed these foods himself, or sold them for a large amount of wealth, but he did not do so, because in his heart he still thought of you hungry compatriots."

Genetic people began to sensationalize.

"Lano and Pedro dared to stand up and fight the Spaniards and seize the food from them that you need to eat enough to not starve to death, but you people don't even have the courage to eat. I really feel that Rano and Pedro are not worthy of being called men at all."

The villagers who heard what Genetics said silently lowered their heads. Yes, they were so ashamed that they said this.

Rano and Pedro risked their lives to rob them of food.

But when they heard that it was Spanish food, they didn't even have the courage to eat.

"Anyway, I can't starve anyway, so I'll die, so I'd rather die than be a full-fledged ghost!"

At this time, the pre-arranged entrusted me to walk out of the crowd, then walked to the place where the grain was piled up and stopped.

"My family also has children and wife. What should I do after I finish this food? I can't always point at Rano and Pedro. They are trying hard to put their heads on their belts. I feel guilty about eating such food. I think if the Knights fought with the Spaniards!"

This tutor began his performance time.
