Chapter 145: Accidental Hunting

The Count of Consville didn't speak, just stared straight at the Count of Loire, who was expressionless.

"Well, what you said about the cession of Fort Saidil in the south of Issamdenburg, and the conditions for the payment of an indemnity of 30,000 silver coins, as well as 20,000 kilograms of iron and fir wood, and the conditions for the abolition of customs duties, I agree with them!" After the Earl of Raceville finished speaking, it was as if he had only drained the strength of his whole body, and he suddenly withered.

After this battle, not only did his prestige suffer a great blow, but his strength also shrank extremely much, and from this moment on, he was no longer one of the few powerful counts in the kingdom, but a second-rate earl.

"Excellent! I am very pleased with your cooperation, Count of Consville, and we will release you as soon as your men deliver what they need!" The Count said with a satisfied expression.

The Count's demands were huge, and it was certainly not possible to raise them in a day or two, so they would have to stay here for several days.

Letting the captured nobles leave, the Count said happily: "Everyone has played their part in this battle, among them Baron William and Viscount Raul, the two of them have the greatest credit, and we need a banquet to celebrate the victory of this war." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the nobles were boiling, although the banquet held here was certainly not as good as the banquet in Denlenburg, but the atmosphere and the joy of victory were enough to make up for it.

After victory, there is no need to worry about the enemy's sneak attack, after all, their top bosses and their vassals are on their side, so there is no need to defend so tightly.

The nobles contributed all the ingredients they had plundered during this time, and the soldiers were busy preparing something.

The whole camp is a hot scene, boiling soup for soup, cutting meat for meat, of course, the soldiers' cooking skills can't be compared with the cooks, but after all, it is in the barracks at this time, and everything is as simple as it should be.

The nobles, on the other hand, went into the nearby groves in groups, where the woods were undeveloped, and even then there were a lot of prey in the woods that were not dense and large.

The knights all took their own subordinates, a team of several people, or followed their own feudal lords, and scattered to hunt, after all, it was something for the troops of two or three thousand people to eat, and they needed a lot of prey.

William also surrounded the earl, and as a close minister with the earl, he and several nobles had to follow the earl inseparably.

"Haha, Earl, you are really old and strong!" William looked at the Earl, who had taken a wild deer with a throwing spear, and complimented him.

"Hahaha, no, I think I was a man who could fight a wild boar back then!" The Earl laughed, and said with a smile to several nobles around him, and it could be seen that the escalation of the war made him feel comfortable.

Just when a group of people were talking and laughing, suddenly, a roar came from the forest, and the war horses under the crotches of several people were a little panicked.

William tried his best to appease the horse, and then also grabbed the reins of the earl's horse and helped the earl stabilize the horse.

"Let's see what's going on!" William gave an order to the soldiers and servants who followed him.

A moment later, several soldiers and two servants ran back, followed by a huge black shadow, and William looked at it, it turned out to be a black bear!

"Oh! No! ”

Several nobles' war horses saw that they were black bears, and they began to stumble, restlessly standing in place, and even a nobleman was thrown off by his war horse.

"Damn it! How could such a beast appear in such a woods! William cursed in exasperation.

Then he looked around, and there were not many soldiers here, only a dozen, five or six nobles, adding up to more than twenty, oh, and three hounds.

These forces are estimated to be able to kill this bear if they work hard, but it is very difficult for a dozen people to protect a few nobles, and according to this situation, if everyone is desperate, it is impossible to defeat this bear.

And the war horse was also frightened, not listening to the control at all, if the war horse was normal, several nobles would be able to ride their horses and escape, but now it is impossible to be surprised, although the speed of the bear seems to be very slow, but it is actually much faster than humans.

William looked at the soldiers who were running back, then at the black bear chasing here, drew his long sword, turned over and dismounted, and prepared for battle.

"Don't panic! Run to me! William shouted loudly to the dozen panicked soldiers.

"Count Count stand back first, my friends, which of you dares to fight with me?" William first asked the old earl to stand back, and then asked a few nobles that if these nobles, who had been trained as teenagers, could join the battle, the odds would be much greater.

Under William's gaze, several nobles aroused the blood in their hearts, drew their long swords, tied their shields to their left arms, and got off their panicked horses.

There was only one person, who chose to step back with the earl because of cowardice, that was a direct nobleman of the earl, the baronial title, and the basic ones who followed the earl were his direct barons, and the two viscounts went hunting by themselves.

Several nobles cast disdainful glances at the retreating nobleman, and although they didn't say much, his reputation among the nobles was basically gone.

"Don't panic! Run to us! William shouted.

The speed of a dozen soldiers was not too fast, and they were soon chased behind by the black bear.

Five nobles surrounded William, standing a few dozen meters in front of the black bear.

The black bear looked at the six heavily armed, and the "prey" who looked a little strong hesitated, their calmness brought some deterrence to the black bear, and at the same time, the murderous aura they had accumulated on the battlefield also played a role at this time.

The animal's ability to perceive danger surpasses that of humans, and it can clearly feel how much of a threat these people pose to itself, especially the "iron man" in the middle seems to be the most dangerous.

Taking advantage of the black bear's hesitation, the soldiers spread out and ran quickly behind the nobles, weapons in their hands, panting heavily.

The black bear watched them wander from dozens of meters away, and he also knew that this bone was not easy to gnaw, and it was very likely that he would die here.

But a few minutes later, the black bear was running in this direction with his huge body.

Bears are all going to hibernate, and this bear woke up from hibernation, apparently because of a lack of food and came out to feed, in such a situation he could not give up everything that could give it fat and energy, and if he did not eat again, he might starve to death.

Looking at the black bear rushing over, William and several nobles clenched the weapons in their hands enough, this black bear is not small, the elongation is estimated to be nearly two meters, if you stand up, the height must be more than two meters, such a behemoth brings a lot of pressure to everyone.
