Changes in Old Buck

Just as Trek was about to stand up, he heard Eagle Eye's words and froze, supporting himself with his hands.

After Eagle Eye finished speaking, the prisoners who had surrounded him all looked at Trek lying on the ground. Their gazes were no longer filled with respect, but rather with resentment.

The young officer watched the scene with great interest. He quietly asked the guard next to him about Eagle Eye's situation and nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, Knight Lynn had just fallen to the ground, stood up. He leaned on a wooden stick with his left hand and grabbed Trek with his right.

He scanned the soldiers around him. Although he was not in good condition at the moment, his long-standing prestige made the soldiers involuntarily take a few steps back under his gaze.

Lynn addressed the crowd, saying, "The man before you is your lord, the one you have pledged your allegiance to."

We are all soldiers of the Blacklin territory, except I am an officer and you are soldiers. Even so, the lord has given us the treatment we deserve. You should all know me, right?

Upon hearing Knight Lynn's words, the soldiers began to stir. Soon, someone spoke up, "I know you. You are Knight Lynn, the chief commander of the territory. Before the defeat, I was an archer in the second squad of the First Battalion, right next to you."

After the first person joined in, many other prisoners followed suit. Lynn was indeed well-regarded in the Blacklin's private army, and it was under his leadership that the Blacklin family's private army became truly outstanding in combat.

His words resonated with many soldiers. "Yes, neither the Viscount nor Knight Lynn has ever mistreated us. The treatment of our territory's army is outstanding in the entire Suffolk County."

"Yes, Knight Lynn was very good to us. When my father was seriously ill, he granted me leave to go home and even gave me a Silver Coin as funeral expenses."

"Our winter clothes were distributed very promptly, and in the summer we can also get an extra sheet of linen to take home for our families."

The soldiers began to express that the Blacklin army was indeed well-treated, and the hostile atmosphere that Eagle Eye had deliberately created was swept away by Knight Lynn's words.

Soon, the soldiers looked at Eagle Eye with hostility, remembering the favors they had received in the past, and began to realize the crimes Eagle Eye and his henchmen had committed against them.

Upon seeing this, Eagle Eye stood rooted to the spot, trembling with fear. He dared not utter another word and lowered his head, preparing to flee. However, the captured soldiers had already blocked his escape route, surrounding him from both the front and the back.

The officer who had been observing the situation spat and muttered, "Useless!"

After saying that, he prepared to walk over. He couldn't just watch such a useful guy as Eagle Eye get crippled by these captured soldiers.

However, at this moment, another group of soldiers guarding the prisoners arrived. Their attire was the same as Eagle Eye's and his men's, wearing the leather armor of the Blacklin family.

When Eagle Eye saw the group, he immediately shouted as if he had found a savior, "Hey buddy, I'm here! These guys are planning a rebellion!"

Led by their captain, the soldiers began to drive away the captured soldiers who were surrounding them. These men were even more ruthless than Eagle Eye's gang. If anyone was even a step too slow, they would be beaten with sticks, leaving several captured soldiers covered in blood and lying on the ground.

Upon noticing the new developments, the young officer immediately stopped and continued to observe.

The captain in charge ran straight to Eagle Eye's Eagle Eye and asked, "Eagle Eye, are you alright?"

Eagle Eye breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said to the captain, "Buck, thank you so much, you've been a great help. I'll treat you and your son to drinks tonight."

The newcomer was none other than Old Buck former Serf Soldiers from the Blacklin family.

After the war, James no longer cared about Eagle Eye, Old Buck, and the others, but handed them over to his subordinates. However, considering that they had indeed helped him defeat the Blacklin family's army at a very low cost, he instructed his subordinates to look after them.

Fortunately, a large number of Blacklin troops were captured after the war, and Eagle Eye, Old Buck, and others were directly appointed as guard officers of the prisoner-of-war camp. They were allowed to choose their own men from among the prisoners, with each officer having 20 men under their command.

This is good for Eagle Eye and his crew; at most, they can live comfortably for a while.

But for Old Buck and his two sons, it was a direct leap to the top. After the change of status, Old Buck valued everything he had now. In addition, he had no relatives in the Blacklin territory, and he and his sons depended on each other for survival. Therefore, he was extremely responsible for his guard duty and never let any troublesome prisoners off lightly.

Old Buck and his men, by virtue of their status as serfs, recruited some serf soldiers of similar origin. These were the kind of Serf Soldiers without any ties. After they were put in charge, they not only got to eat their fill, but they could also lay hands on professional soldiers who were originally of higher status than them. Naturally, they were all very enthusiastic about their work.

Old Buck and his sons' guards became the undisputed tyrants of the prisoner-of-war camp. Unlike Eagle Eye, who always considered the consequences of his actions, Old Buck openly declared himself an officer of the Golden Sunflower Territory.
