Almighty Cultivation Supreme

The people of the manor looked at Alexander with horror, for they had been overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of those people before, especially when they saw the cruel torture of several villagers who tried to resist them, and the villagers had to obey their orders.

But now suddenly another person came to declare his rights to the farm, and listening to the movement outside the farm, the villagers knew that there should have been a fight.

Although this kind of thing is all too common in this day and age, the sudden outbreak of fighting still frightened the villagers, and the people scattered uneasily as they watched Alexander rush into the courtyard of the farm and pull his war horse and shout loudly.

"What's going on!" A soldier ran out of the farmstead, carrying a spear with a sharp branch at the tip of the handle, and he was taken aback at the sight of Alexander, and then he suddenly shouted and rushed at Alexander!

"You brought it on yourself." Alexander muttered to himself, his left hand still holding the reins, and his right hand raised, as if he had an extra musket in his hand.

The soldier had a dull look on his face, but he could no longer contain his strength because of the exertion, and as he lunged forward with his spear in hand, he screamed in fear as he looked at the muzzle of the black hole, Alexander pulled the trigger.

"Smack!"

The sound of the flint hitting the iron sheet was crisp and powerful, but the gun did not roar as expected!

It's a dumb fire! When this thought quickly flashed through Alexander's mind, the soldier had also come to his senses, his originally flustered face showed excitement, and the spear in his hand was raised again and stabbed hard at Alexander on the horse!

Alexander, who had no time to draw his sword, could only desperately smash the musket in his hand towards the spear, and with the force that seemed to be being pulled up, the musket was immediately picked apart by the branches on the tip of the spear.

Alexander's body swayed on his horse, and he could even feel the cold wind from the spear as it swept past him.

Instead of withdrawing his spear, the soldier raised his arm in the air, and in an instant the blade of the spear slashed at Alexander's shoulder, as sharp as an axe.

Alexander had no chance to parry, and the only thing he could do was to block it with the musket in his hand, which seemed to have been smashed apart, and then the whole man tumbled and fell off his horse.

The soldier roared and raised his spear again, and by this time he had no time to stab, but swung it as if he were holding a broadsword, and slashed at Alexander with the short blade of the spear like a knife.

"You're dead!"

As Alexander rolled and dodged the blow that slashed to the ground and couldn't dodge it anymore, he heard the soldier shout!

"Phew!"

This time the gunfire was deafening, but the soldier did not fall to the ground, he was only frightened by the loud noise, and then instinctively looked towards the place where the noise had come from.

Then he saw a large figure suddenly pierce through the smoke that rose from the sound of the gunshots, and before he could scream, he had been knocked away by a rushing horse.

"How are you, master!" Ulliu's voice sounded, he ran over with a smoking musket in his hand, and when he saw Alexander slowly getting up, Ulliu couldn't stop asking, "What injuries do you have, it's too dangerous, you don't dare to take any chances." ”

"It's me who believes in these muskets too much," Alexander rubbed his shoulders and barely stood firmly, his shoulder hit the ground when he fell off the horse just now, and the pain that he hadn't noticed before because of his nervousness and panic began to flare up at this time, "It seems that you have solved it outside." ”

"Yes, or you'd have been hacked to death," said Boleri, who had returned from the horse, looking at Alexander, who looked embarrassed, and at the musket that had been thrown on the ground, "I thought you would pee your pants in fright." ”

Listening to Bellery's words of irony or approval, Alexander could only smile bitterly, he wanted to tell Bellery that he was not brave, and even now he was still worried about what had just happened.

Elliot had already entered the farm at this time, and the sword in his hand was still dripping with blood, and when he saw the disgraced Alexander, Elliot skillfully played a trick on the sword in his hand.

"Looks like you've succeeded in claiming possession of this farmstead, haven't you?" Elliott asked.

"This place belongs to the Cosencha family, and no one has the right to claim possession." Bellery interrupted Elliott in annoyance, "We're going to wait for Miss Shosha to arrive, and then we'll leave everything here to her." ”

Elliott was noncommittal to Bolery's words, he just looked at Alexander.

"Bellery is right, everything here can only be decided by Jisha." Alexander asked Ulius to help him to the middle of the courtyard, and looking at the villagers who were standing at the edge of the clearing, he pushed Uliuu away to take a breath and said loudly: "I, Alexandre Giulian Cambrai, who was sent to Naples by the Kingdom of Sicily, I tell you in the name of His Majesty Ferdinand, King of Sicily, that I will protect all the rights of the family of Cosenza, including her ownership of this farmstead. Mademoiselle Cosenza arrived. ”

The villagers looked at Alexander blankly, they didn't really understand what the relationship between this long list of titles and claims of rights was, but they knew that the farm had now been transferred from the hands of those people before them to the hands of the people in front of them, and it was not for them to know whether the young lady of the Cosenza family would come and accept it again.

Elliot watched Alexander's announcement in silence, and he could see that Bellery was staring at him, which made him not doubt that if he made any mistakes, this man would definitely do something to him without mercy.

Outside the farmstead before, Elliot was indeed shocked to see the amazing strength of Bellery, especially when he actually cut the cavalryman's cuirass with his knife!

Looking at the big man who seemed to be visibly hostile to him, Elliot was secretly wary of it, although he was relaxed on the surface.

"I want you to keep this farm now at our orders until Miss Kosa Cosenza arrives," Alexander instructed several men who looked to be stewards of the farm, and when he saw the pale face of one of them, he frowned slightly and asked, "What is wrong with you?" ”

This is a short, middle-aged man, although there is some surprise and hesitation in his eyes, but this man still takes two steps forward and says: "Master, I am a hunter in the farm, and I was chained by those guys for two days before. After a pause, he continued, "because I would not provide them with honey and venison, as they said, because I had already paid the hunting tax to the Cosenza family, and it should not be my responsibility to bear it again." ”

"Oh, it seems that you know your rights very well," Alexander looked at the small, but sturdy man with interest, "so if I ask you to offer me honey and venison now, you wouldn't want to, would you?" ”

The man hesitated, and his gaze couldn't help but look into the corner of the clearing, and Alexander followed his gaze and saw a low wooden stake fixed to the ground, with a string of iron chains on it.

The man seemed to be a little afraid of the stake, and he licked his lips, which were obviously chapped by the sun, because of the punishment he had received, and after thinking about it, he said sullenly: "Sir, if you want anything to buy from me, I am willing to hunt and collect honey for you, but if you let me continue to pay taxes like those people, I would rather be chained to the stake for two more days." ”

"Carlo, you're crazy!" A woman shouted in horror, and then she ran out of the crowd and grabbed the man's arm and shook it, "Say you don't think so, say you'll pay your taxes." Saying that, the woman turned her head and looked at Alexander in fear, "Master, please let him go, this time, he didn't want to rush you, he will bring you whatever you want, please let him go." ”

"You don't care!" The man rudely shook off the woman, "That's what I think, if there must be anything different, it's that at most I can charge less, but if I continue to pay that hunting tax, I can't." ”

The man's tough attitude alerted Ulliu, who slowly raised his musket as he looked at Alexander.

"Well, we can pay you," Alexander nodded, and as the villager caught his breath in a little surprise, Alexander added, "then you are a hunter, and if I pay you to guard this farm for me now, would you be willing?" ”

"Pay?" The villagers were a little surprised, "The lord has also summoned us to fight before, but we have never paid, do you want to pay me?" ”

"Until the Countess arrives, I will protect this land." Alexander looked at the others, "Listen, I'll pay you, and you'll help me keep here, it's a fair deal." ”

"Let's be mercenaries?"

"But we don't know anything, I haven't fought."

"I don't need you to go out," exclaimed Alexander, "and I will only want you to keep this house of yours, and then you will receive a reward, so that you will only have to pray to God that everything is safe until Miss Countess comes, and you will receive a sum of money in vain." ”

Alexander's words surprised the villagers, who wondered why the stranger was so generous, but it sounded like nothing to worry them about.

All eyes were on the Orion, who was clearly of great prestige in the farmstead.

"We don't have to go out to war with you?"

"No, you don't."

"Miss will give you money when she comes?"

"I'll give it when I come."

Orion pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I don't know about others, I promise you." ”

As soon as the Orion spoke, many other villagers around him shouted.

"And we agreed!"

"Count me in."

Looking at the villagers, Alexander finally let out a long breath, he had feared that the masked man would suddenly appear on the south bank of Agri, but now it seemed that as long as he stayed here and waited for the arrival of Khissa, everything would be fine.

"You're the hunter here, I want you to make everything here clear," Alexander said and motioned for Bellery to follow him, he knew that Bellery was certainly very wary of Elliat, and was actually even more suspicious of him, "Bellery, I have handed over these people to you, you know what to do." ”

Bellery looked at Alexander in some surprise before beckoning the hunter named Carlo to walk towards the gate of the farm with a few villagers.

"Come here, some of the dukes' men are not dead," called Beleri to the villagers, "and the others will come and tie up those who are not dead, but their belongings will not belong to you, and you will have to fight them yourself if you want to get rich." ”

Watching a group of villagers shouting and following Bellery away, Elliot looked at Alexander in surprise.

"Are you going to gather a group of mercenaries in this farmstead?" Elliot asked thoughtfully, "But it's completely unnecessary, aren't your bohemians coming soon?" ”

Ignoring Elliott, Alexander walked casually around the farmstead, inspecting the houses.

Sure enough, as Zhisa had said, Alexander soon found that not only was it much smaller than the farms on the north bank of the Agri River, but also, perhaps because of the proximity to the mountains and forests, was more stocked with hides and large jars of honey and nuts and fruits.

"What the hell do you want," Elliot suddenly took two quick steps to stop Alexander, a smile on his face and a low voice, "Tell you what the price is, I think Taranto can afford to pay enough to help me in your good." ”

Seeing that Alexander did not immediately refuse, Elliot immediately went to the door and looked out, then came back and whispered: "Listen, I know that you have a close relationship with the count, although it may not be fair to my father, but I don't care about that, I just need you to help me convince the young lady that she will take this farm as her dowry when she marries, and you can say a few things about it." ”

"Do you think she's going to marry your father?"

"So what," said Elliot with a smile, "it is impossible for the Cosenza family to marry Frederick, for this is definitely not what the Count of Mordillo wants, and my father can be a powerful friend of the Count outside of Naples, after all, as far as I know, the Count does not seem to be having a good time now." ”

Elliott's words made Alexander's heart slightly stunned, before he only thought that choosing the marriage of the Count of Taranto was just Kaiser's idea, but now listening to him say this, Alexander couldn't help but feel that there may not be a shadow of Modillo in this marriage.

After all, the contradictions and hostility with Duke Frederick made it impossible for Mordilo to accept Frederick's son as a husband to Josa, and King Ferdinand of Naples had no descendants and his own poor health, so that the Duke was getting closer and closer to the throne.

Perhaps the worst possible scenario for Modillo would be to face Frederick with the crown on his head, and if that happens, Alexander suspects that Modillo may choose to go into exile, and if he is cornered, he may even run to Florence to join Savonarola.

Alexander felt that he had to think about what to do.

If these things had nothing to do with him before, now they are different.

When he crossed the summit and saw the plains of the Agri River, Alexander knew that there was not only a piece of land, but also a great opportunity!

So now, when listening to Elliott talk about Josa's marriage, Alexander, who was indifferent to his words, suddenly became serious.

If Jossa marries Alfred, then the Agri Plain could be annexed by Frederick.

And if she marries the Count of Taranto, maybe the Cosenza family can still expose most of the land, then he still has a chance.

And, as Elliott said, it would have given him a good sum of money to get from the Count of Taranto.

It looks like a good choice, Alexander thought to himself.

It's just that I don't choose either!
