Walk northeast along the farmstead's fence and climb up a hill to see the Agri River.

This also made many Bohemian cavalrymen have a deep impression of the Kosenza family's wealth, at least the wall that stretches to the riverside surprised them for a while.

However, it was evident that she was not in the mood to let the guests admire her estate, and Alexander's words caused her unease, and worse, it was only now that she remembered that all the people of the Cosenza family were not familiar with the farms on the south bank of the river, or that no one really cared about them.

So this kind of thing happened because the farms on the north bank were not only the largest but also the closest to Kosenza, while the farms on the south bank were a little too far away, and they couldn't help but admit that they were more concerned about whether they could live more comfortably.

Obviously, the farms on the south bank were not only far away, but the fact that they had to cross to the other side of the Agri River made the Kosentsa lose interest, so they always had to send the books in advance, and at most send a few tax collectors to count them, which was already very troublesome to the Kosentsa people.

"The people of Cosencha are hunters, and we prefer to go out into the woods with a spear or a crossbow than with the fields and all kinds of vegetables." Josa tried her best to make her tone appear unconcerned, but the constant urge of her mount betrayed her, and it was clear that Miss Countess was not as careless as she seemed on the outside.

"Looking for a boat to cross the river, or is there a ferry nearby?" Alexanda looked at the Agri River that was already faintly visible in the distance and frowned slightly, he actually understood the thoughts of the Cosencha family, in this kind of era, going far away always makes people feel that there are things that make people worry or even a little daunted, which is why people are always full of reverence for those who are willing to go to foreign lands, that is because for the vast majority of people, just listening to the names of some places is enough to be scared to hide at home and dare not come out.

She was even a little annoyed why she didn't go directly across the plain to the other side of the river when she first went down the mountain, and now looking at the Agri River, she could only shake her head in annoyance: "There should be boats nearby, but they are all too small, there are all fields here, and not many people usually go to the other side of the river, if you want to cross the river, you have to go around to the village downstream, where there is a bridge," said this Qisha exhaled, "But it will take a long detour, It will be delayed for almost two days. ”

Looking at the gloomy face of Jisha, Alexander could also guess her mood at this time.

If Elliot hadn't lied, Frederick's men might have been on the other side of the river in advance, but they probably hadn't done anything too much until the Bohemians besieged Cosenza.

This means that as long as you can get over as soon as possible, you should be able to control the situation, but if it is really delayed for two days, by the time they arrive, maybe something has changed.

But even if there was a crossing, it would not have been possible for them to leave behind them and cross the river alone, although it was not clear what was now the condition of the farmsteads on the south bank of the river, but they could not venture to cross the river alone, considering that Frederick's men were probably there.

The only way to do this is to go around the bridge downstream of the river.

"I think maybe I can find a way for you," Elliot, who was following behind, suddenly leaned over, he looked at Zhosa and said to Alexander, "If I heard me right, you just want to prevent some people from taking your farm, in that case, why don't you entrust me to be the steward of your farmstead on the south bank, believe me I will be able to take good care of the land and the nearby land, after all, I know that I am the heir to the territory of Taranto, and I believe that even the king of Naples cannot easily be unreasonable to me." ”

"Then you can take the farm and the land in your name as a matter of course." Josa replied coldly, she was sure that the Taranto man was not well, and to her annoyance, although Elliot said that she was completely unacceptable, it was clear that if Frederick's men had indeed occupied the farmstead on the other side of the river, Elliott's suggestion was the only way to wait for their team to arrive.

"Mademoiselle Count, your distrust of me makes me frustrated, and I think it's an insult," Elliot said sternly, but there was only playfulness in his eyes, "If you don't feel at ease, send someone with me, and when I declare me the head of the farm, your man may declare the Cosencha family's ownership of the farmstead at the same time." ”

Elliott's suggestion made Josha's heart move slightly, thinking that the team would have to take a detour downstream to cross the bridge for nearly two days, which made Josha secretly worry about what might happen during these two days.

Sensing Josha's hesitation, Elliot winked at Alexander, and then he looked at Josha waiting for her answer.

Alexander cursed in his heart, he knew that Elliot had actually been moved by what Elliot said, but the only thing she hesitated about now was not knowing who to let cross the river alone with Elliott.

And what made him speechless was that although he didn't speak, he could already feel the slight look in the eyes that Ji Sha was looking at him.

Even the way Elliott looked at him made Alexander think he had guessed the result.

"Don't hesitate, I'll go." Alexander simply took the initiative to speak, knowing that even if Jisha didn't say anything, he would have to take the errand.

The Agri plain was important to the Cosentsa family, but it was even more important to him.

To be able to gain a foothold in front of Modillo, and even to be able to make the ambitious count a real supporter for him in the future, this battle for the plains of the Agri River is absolutely crucial.

Even if Modillo didn't want his pawns to be smart, a complete fool was not what he wanted.

What Alexander had to do now was not to be too conspicuous, but not to make the count, who he might soon be formally confronted, think of him as worthless and worthless waste, so that whatever decision was made, it must be both excessive and just right.

"Frederick shouldn't have a lot of people," Jossa said as if to comfort Alexander, as if to make excuses for herself, and then she groaned a little and turned her head to look at Bellery, "You can take Bellery with you, he may be able to take care of you." ”

Listening to Josha's words, Boleri came to the front of the group, he looked at Elliott and then looked at Alexander, and then said to Josa: "If you want me to go, I will go, rest assured that I will not let him have any trouble." ”

"You must not be okay yourself," said Tsuna, leaning over and hugging Bellery, then whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "if you are in danger, run alone, I can't lose you." ”

Bellery nodded, then turned to look at Alexander, a smug smile in his eyes.

"What did you say to him?" As he said goodbye to Josha, Alexander asked in a low voice.

"I told him to run if there was any danger, and leave no one alone," replied without thinking, and when she saw Alexander's slightly sunken face, she pressed her hands flat on his shoulders, "Now I want to say this to you, I don't want to lose any of you." ”

Alexander looked at the horse for a moment, then silently turned his horse's head and chased after the few men who had already walked towards the river.

In addition to Elliott, Alexander was followed by two other people, in addition to Bellery and Ulliu.

Ulliu had not left his master since he had followed Alexander out of Sicily, and had always been by his side even in several rather dangerous experiences, which made Alexander feel at ease with the Moors.

As for Massimo, thinking about what he had done before, Alexander felt that it would be better to keep him away from him at such times.

Even so, it took a few shuttles to get their men and horses to the other side of the river, and looking at the few black spots that could only be seen faintly on the opposite side, Jisha anxiously walked back and forth along the river beach.

"Maybe I should go with them." Josha muttered under her breath until a bohemian walked up to her.

"Miss, are we going to take a detour across the river?" The bohemian asked, looking her up and down.

Hoosa's heart jumped, she regretted letting Beleri go with her, and now the whole team was Bohemian except her.

"Yes," Josha tried to calm herself, she knew not to show panic at this time, her father had told her more than once how savage the mercenaries on the battlefield were, even their own leaders, if they showed a little timidity, they could be torn to pieces by these beast-like creatures in an instant, "From here, you can reach the bridge by passing two villages, but the road on the other side will not be easy to walk, Because we went around the banks of another river to get to the farmstead on that side. ”

"Oh, that's a tough road," the mercenary said, looking at Miss, "we don't know what's going on here, and we don't want to know who we're going to fight next, we just want to know when you'll be paid what you promised." ”

The mercenary's words made Ji Sha's heart jump again, she knew that the running around for several days had made these mercenaries a little impetuous, and even she herself was a little dazed because of her restlessness.

Massimo looked at this scene with a blue face, he really regretted not crossing the river with Alexander, and he felt that his hands and feet were already cold when he thought that there might be a riot among these ruffians.

"Your reward," said Josha firmly as the mercenary stared at her, "not in my hands. ”

As soon as she spoke, there was a commotion all around, and the bohemian eyes began to look unkind, and Mahimo almost fainted.

"There they are," said Josha, turning to the other side of the river, "I promise you that if you can help me drive out those who have usurped my farm, I will give you all the things that are in my farm." ”

Asha's words caused a burst of screams again, but this time it was full of excitement and joy.

"Miss, can you call the shots, shouldn't the farm belong to your father or brother in your family?" The Bohemians at the head looked at Zhisa suspiciously, although they were willing to follow them on such a long journey over the mountains because of the huge reward, but now that he heard that there would be such a rich reward, he didn't believe it, especially since it was a woman who promised them, which made the Bohemians who had always looked down on women feel a little unbelievable.

"Trust me," she said, knowing that even though these bohemians were willing to trust her, it was only because she was a woman, and once she proved that she could really make them rich, these people might not be able to help her more in the future, "As long as you are willing to follow me, I promise you will only get more, and don't forget that I am not just the Countess of Cosenza, I am also the guardian of the grain reserves of the Agri River." ”

Alexander, who crossed the Agri River, was led by Elliot along the south bank of the river to the south deep in the plains.

As you move south, the terrain gradually becomes downhill, and it seems that you are constantly walking downhill at all times.

This reminded Alexander that it seemed that if he followed this direction all the way south, he should enter a rather low-lying basin.

It's just that he can't remember how big this basin is.

But even so, he could still imagine what it meant to be such a fertile land.

"When we get to the farm, it's up to me to decide," Elliot shouted to Alexander, riding his horse against the wind, and after walking out for most of the day, although the sun was sinking, it was still hot all around, and more importantly, they had been on the path in the fields, "Look how good this land is, it must be a gift from God to become a lord here." ”

Listening to Elliot's unconcerned ambition, Alexander couldn't help but have a deeper impression of this man.

The shadow of the village had already appeared at the end of the field in the distance, and as we got closer, a figure could be seen moving slowly between the wheat field and the village.

"Hurry up, maybe catch something to eat." Elliot shouted, and he urged his mount forward.

"This man is crazy." Bolery let out a low roar, "How dare he take Agri as his own." ”

"We need him," Alexander whispered admonishment, "I said I would retake the Agri Plains for Ashra, so this place can only belong to her." ”

Boleri seemed to feel that there was something wrong with Alexander's words, but he couldn't remember for a while, and at last he could only say: "Agri is Miss, and Miss is the Countess of the House of Cosenza." ”

Alexander glanced back at Belleri and didn't correct him, but in his heart Alexander had already made up his mind, Agri might be Shosa's, but the Cosenza family was a different matter.

Elliot seemed to be familiar with the terrain on the south bank of the Agri River, and he seemed to be more anxious than anyone else, so in the village he even had people feed him some water and a little crushed wheat husk for him, and then hurried them on the road, and as for themselves, Elliot simply said, "Bear with it and it will pass."

As a result of this wild running, in the early hours of the next morning, they had seen in the distance a stone fort standing on the top of a hillside at the end of a golden wheat field.

"That's it, Gowanda, the largest farmstead on the south bank of the Agri River." Elliot pointed ahead and shouted, and as soon as he finished speaking, a group of horsemen suddenly rushed down the hillside.

Looking at the faintly visible flag, Beleri exclaimed: "The Duke's people! ”
