Charles II chose 4,000 elite Swiss mercenaries, all elite veterans, and there was no problem in dealing with the 2,000 Saxon defenders. Even if the number of people is small, it can be easily done. What's more, it's double the number of people.

However, when selecting soldiers and horses, Commander Zigger, who had always performed well, refused the appointment to lead troops to East Friesland and gave the opportunity to other Swiss mercenaries.

The leader of the Ziggy mercenary group is very jealous of Marin in his heart. You know, with some of the tricks he learned from Marin, he has now become the star leader of the Swiss mercenaries. Then, as a teacher, Marin is even more capable. In other words, Captain Ziggy's ability is only a part of Marin. Marin, who is full of firepower, is the real big demon king!

Let Ziggy go to Marin's lair to make trouble, Ziggy is always a little weak-hearted. So, he gave this opportunity to other Swiss mercenary groups.

It's just that Ziggy doesn't know that something happened to him......

What's going on? It was due to the vices of those Swiss mercenaries......

Although the Swiss mercenaries were brave and good at fighting, they also had many bad habits. For example, the habit of leaving no prisoners (mainly not leaving conscription prisoners, because that kind of soldier does not get a ransom). And, the habit of liking robbery.

The Swiss like to make a lot of cuts in their clothes, but that's not for fashion and trends, but to open a few extra pockets on the body to fit in the looted goods.

In short, in addition to being strong in combat, Swiss mercenaries have many other bad problems, and they are by no means good people. Only Zige's mercenary group, after stealing Marin, emphasizes discipline more and rarely messes around.

The Roman mercenary group that replaced Ziggy was a traditional Swiss mercenary group - strong in combat, but also greedy and brutal......

When they first entered East Friesland, the Roman mercenary group did not mess around. After all, as a leader in the mercenary world, the military literacy of the Swiss is still very good. At least, they know how to make a fool of themselves until they succeed.

Arriving on the west bank of the Ames River, they waited for a ferry sent by Groningen. Then, four thousand Swiss mercenaries were sent to the other side by ferry.

At this time, it is still early in the morning. Because, the Swiss mercenaries set off at night. Seeing that the Saxon military camp was in front of them, the other party probably hadn't woken up yet, so the Swiss mercenaries launched an attack......

The Saxons never thought that the other party would dare to cross the border and send troops to attack, so they were caught off guard. In a panic, hundreds of elite Saxon knights, with Baron Leeuwarden Ztel, rushed out of the barracks on horseback.

The Swiss immediately divided their forces in pursuit, and they instinctively felt that Baron Leeuwarden's Ztel was among the rushing cavalry.

Although the hundreds of people who rushed out were all on horseback, the pursuers sent by the Swiss were also on horseback. Because, the Swiss occupied the stables of the Saxon barracks.

Soon, hundreds of Swiss mercenaries rode in pursuit, and surrounded Baron Leeuwarden Ztel and hundreds of elite Saxon knights in an ordinary manor in East Friesland.

After that, more than 800 of the most elite mercenaries launched a strong attack on the Saxons who had fled into the manor......

After half a day of fighting, half of the hundreds of Saxon heavy cavalry were killed, and the rest were either wounded or captured. As for Baron Ztel, Leeuwarden, naturally, it fell into the hands of the Swiss.

Baron Zitle, the Baron of Leeuwarden, knew that he was finished, and he would definitely die. However, he was not willing to die in vain. So, he rolled his eyes and decided to pit the army in front of him......

How to pit? It's to encourage these people in front of them to rob East Friesland......

As Marin's old rival and old friend, Baron Leeuwarden Zitle knew Marin's strength and knew Marlin's vengeful character. Therefore, he knew that if the army in front of him sacked East Friesland, it would definitely be impossible to escape revenge. In this way, it can be regarded as revenge for yourself.

So, he consciously or unconsciously confronted the Swiss officers and told the Swiss that he had found a large amount of grain and various belongings on the estate......

The Swiss did take the bait......

After a search, the Swiss found a mountain of grain and a lot of belongings - such as coins, silver and bronze and other daily necessities. In addition, there are large quantities of salt, oil, cloth and other high-value daily necessities.

Because of the high grain production and the large income of Marin, he was naturally not stingy with the manor stewards and serfs under his command. Therefore, each manor under Marin's command is very rich in materials.

The Swiss were immediately red-eyed, and in the face of wealth, they forgot the request of Charles II not to cause trouble, threw away their spears, and loaded all the coins, gold, silver, and bronze on their bodies. As for the cloth, it was directly wound around the body.

When the valuables were loaded, they began to loot high-value goods such as salt, oil, and grain. However, there were more than 1,000 sacks of rye grain on one estate alone, and they had to force the serfs on the estate to transport the grain to the Ames River, and then find a ship to transport it back to the west bank...... What they didn't know was that the more than 1,000 bags of rye were only for the daily food needs of the manor, and they were all old grain from the previous year. If they went to the official warehouse in Aurich and Lyle County, they would probably be scared to death......

After this group of men and horses joined the large army, they reported the gains to the regiment commander Roman. Roman was also a greedy man, and when he heard that a small estate could make such a big gain. So, after the whole army had crossed the Ames River, he ordered a large-scale looting of several hundred square kilometers of East Frisian land on the west bank of the Ames River......

Then, more than a dozen estates on the west bank of East Friesland were killed. A total of 10,000 sacks of rye, 1,000 gold coins, 2,000 pounds of salt, and various silver and bronze utensils, as well as cloth, cooking oil and other high-value goods, were all looted by the Swiss mercenaries.

In addition, they took 50 horses, 100 cattle and 500 sheep......

That's not all, some of the young men of the manor were also killed when they resisted, and the total number of deaths reached 96......

Of course, Roman is also afraid of being blamed by the Geddes. Therefore, he sent people to kill all the cattle and sheep that were stolen and salted into jerky. And the grain was also hidden in the temporarily abandoned fortress of Marin in the border area. Moreover, Roman also sent someone to contact the grain merchant and came to transport the grain. As long as this batch of grain is sold,

Later, the hapless Baron de Leeuwarden, Zytl, was also killed by Roman. So, what he brought back was not "preferably a living person" as demanded by Charles II, but a corpse......

Before he died, Baron Zitle of Leeuwarden told Roman with certainty - "I will wait for you below, I believe that you are not far from death!" ”

Roman didn't believe Ztel, because he had killed so many people, and he didn't see anyone to take him to hell......

It's just that what he didn't know was that Kohler's spies on the west bank of the Ams River recorded all this and inquired about the origin of the Roman mercenary group......

The Roman mercenary group is in trouble, and it is a big deal. It's just that Roman himself doesn't know. Moreover, he did not speak to Charles II, Duke of Guedes. For this reason, Charles II was also kept in the dark......
