Chapter 19: Banquet Conflict

William received an order to lead no less than five people, but most of them would not only bring just the right number of people, not only would the chances of victory be smaller, but they would also leave a bad impression on the feudal monarch again, thinking that you were not loyal to the feudal monarch.

So he decided to take the twelve farmers who had been trained in the slack time to the Comos Manor, where to buy some equipment for these farmers, no one had a set of leather armor and ordinary ordinary spears, a total of one hundred and twenty silver coins, although William only had seventy silver coins left, but in the village also made up some, copper coins and specialties, worth ten silver coins, and some small merchants got together, and also collected the money, although it was a little embarrassing, but William thought it was worth it.

William borrowed ten silver coins from the village, which was not a small amount, and a quarter of the village's property was lost, so William promised to compensate for the ten silver coins with a reduced tax draw.

Two groups with the best performance and the highest combat power were recruited, and the three of them mounted their horses, and the peasants carried twelve riding spears and walked towards the Comos Manor.

William walked to the gate of the manor, where two guards stood guard as usual.

"I am Sir William, and I have been called by the Baron to lead my people in allegiance to my lord." William dismounted and said to the guard at the door.

The guards glanced at him, they should have recognized him, bent down and said, "Of course my lord, you can enter now and you can enter, there are already quite a few adults with light infantry to enter." With that, he opened the door to the manor.

William walked in the front, leading his horse to the manor, he had come to banquets several times in the past few months, so he was familiar with the structure of the manor, and quickly found the clerk of Tins.

"Hello Registrar Tins!" "Hello Sir William!" The two greeted each other.

"I have led twelve light infantry and two servants to present my sword to my lord, and I will follow in his footsteps against any of the baron's enemies." William said.

"Okay Sir William, the barracks is here, you can place the light infantry and servants here, the banquet will be held in the baron's hall, and the Baron of Wales will also arrive here later to present the war letter." Clerk Tinss explained to him.

William was very surprised, although he had heard that the lords of the Middle Ages would submit war letters before the war, and they would have a meal together or something, but he always thought that it was just a beautiful fantasy of the Middle Ages in later generations, but he didn't expect them to be really brain-dead to this point, and they didn't have the life-and-death feeling of the Celestial War in the previous life, maybe the culture is different.

There are about 100 people in the barracks, counting the baron's infantry, in this harvest season, the baron did not mobilize too many farmers in other villages, so most of them are still the baron's infantry, the baron's soldiers are better, after all, they have undergone some training, but the light infantry under the knights is different, there is a lot of chaos, scolding and beating people endlessly, and even the light infantry under William has received some influence.

"Alright! I'll go! William spoke, and watched as Recidiver Tence arranged his soldiers and followed him to the hall.

"Hi, my colleagues!" William walked into the hall and greeted the other knights under the baron, and after a few banquets, they became familiar with each other.

"Hey! Sir William! The knights replied.

The banquet had not yet begun, the food and oil lamps were still being prepared, and the people had not yet taken their seats.

William found a knight he knew and was ready to inquire about the news: "Hey, Sir Confu, why did the baron go to war with the Baron of Wales this time?" You know I haven't been paying attention to any of this lately. ”

Sir Confu had nothing to hide, and told William everything he knew: "It is said that the Baron of Wales has pressed his serfs too badly, and the secular tax alone will be seventy percent, and their serfs will not survive, so more than two hundred people fled to the territory of the Baron, and the Baron is merciful, and they are all miserable if he can't stand it, and this also strengthens the Baron's strength, so he took them in, and the Baron of Wales is very dissatisfied, so there was a dispute, and the war was triggered." ”

Well, the most common reason for war in the Middle Ages, but William was curious, did their superior lords care?

Thinking of this, William asked, "So, does Viscount Raul care about this matter?" "Viscount Raul is the feudal lord of Baron Comos.

"You are new to the city, you don't know this, Baron Wells and our Baron are not the same feudal lord, his feudal lord Viscount Cowen and our Viscount Raul want to be at odds, but because of the Earl, there has been no war, but the Earl can't control us, so the Viscount wishes that we will cripple Baron Wells."

"Oh, I see!". William nodded, he really knew a lot from Sir Yasuo.

William chatted with a group of knights for a while, and the voice of the clerk of Tins sounded outside the door: "Lord Baron Wells and his knights have arrived!" ”

William and the knights glanced at each other and walked behind Baron Comos.

Baron Wells walked in through the gate, followed by seven or eight men, his knights.

Although Baron Comos was at odds with him, he still had to do enough work on the surface, leading the knights behind him to win.

"Oh, welcome Baron Wells, I am glad to have you here." Baron Comos said.

"Thank you for your welcome!" Baron Wells said with a smile.

Although the two of them wanted to tear each other apart and feed the dog, they still talked and laughed with each other with a smile.

William looked at the two of them behind Baron Comos, and said in his heart: "It's really worthy of two old foxes, although there are not as many intrigues and tricks in the East, but this secret competition is also very serious!" ”

"Please sit Baron Wells!" Baron Comos patted one of the two chairs at the top of the long table and said.

"Thank you!" Baron Wells sat down.

Baron Comos also took his seat, and the knights on both sides split into two factions, sitting on the side of their own kings.

There were no ladies present, and the atmosphere on the field was completely different from the cheerful banquet on weekdays, and it was depressing, except for the chatter and laughter of the two barons at the top, except for the dull chewing sound of the knights below.

Although the two barons above were talking and laughing, the knights below looked at each other incorrectly, looking at each other unkindly, only William, who pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation of the barons, did not look at the enemy knights.

Just as William was listening to the unnutritious conversation between the two barons, there was a muffled sound, the plate on the table trembled, and a large knight under the command of Baron Wells slapped it on the table and shouted, "What the hell! What kind of broken honey is this, completely spoiled, I didn't expect the Comos Manor to be so poor and sour, take this spoiled honey to humiliate us? ”

The conversation between the two barons above was interrupted, and it seemed that Baron Comos couldn't help but look ugly when he heard what the knight said, but the Baron of Wells on the other side looked very interested, not knowing if this knight was instructed by him.

The knights on Baron Comos's side were all angry, and the feudal lords were humiliated, as if they were humiliated, which was unbearable, and at that moment, a group of knights were about to stand up and settle accounts with him, and the knights under Baron Wells could not let their own people suffer, and they also stood up from the top, and a fight looked like it was about to break out.

William stopped the knight beside him and said to the knight who spoke before: "It's ridiculous, you can't even eat royal jelly, and you think it's spoiled, don't you know that honey never deteriorates?" It seems that Wells Manor is really poor and sour, and I haven't even seen royal jelly! William had a sarcastic expression.

William didn't know if it was the baron's spoiled honey, or if the other party deliberately said that it was spoiled honey to humiliate the baron, in short, William couldn't let the other party go wild here, but what William didn't know was that pure honey would not spoil, and this kind of honey must be mixed with water, if someone who knew heard it, it would definitely make a joke, but it was obvious that the people present didn't know.

After saying that, their knights all laughed very cooperatively, and said in their mouths: "Wells Manor is really poor, Bee ...... I've never heard of royal jelly! "They've never heard of it, but that doesn't stop them from mocking each other.

The knights on the other side also looked angry.

"What? How dare you humiliate me! I'm going to duel with you! The knight roared furiously.

"I'm here for you!" William smiled, looking completely unaware.

This made the other party even angrier, and the roar resounded throughout the hall, but the laughter of his own side was even louder.

"Enough! William! How can you humiliate our guests like this? Baron Comos reprimanded, but although it was a reprimand, the admiration and smile in his eyes could not be concealed.

William pretended to be innocent and said, "Lord Baron! He was the one who insulted you first, I ...... I'm defending you! ”

"What's more, now he wants me to propose a duel, and it will be an insult to myself if I refuse, so please agree to our duel!" William gave Baron Comos enough face, knelt on one knee, and said with his right hand on his chest.

Baron Comos did not express any objection, and it seemed that he should agree, but he still did not agree immediately, but with some smiles, he said to Baron Wells beside him: "What do you think? Baron of Wales? ”

Baron Wells saw the smile on his face seriously, gritted his teeth in his heart, and immediately agreed: "Of course no problem, I'm afraid that Sir Miller will hurt him!" ”

"You hear me, Sir William, and Baron Wells and I agree that you will both duel!" Baron Comos said.
