Chapter 166: The Aristocrats Gather
"Ah, it seems that I misunderstood, I thought it was a group of bandits or bandits who didn't have long eyes, since that's the case, let's come in quickly!" William said with a smile.
"Lay down your arms, that's not the enemy!" William gave a word to the soldiers.
"You're Baron William?" Lolita arranged the soldiers outside the manor, walked beside William with a few henchmen, and asked cautiously.
"Don't be so polite, you are Weina's brother, that is, my brother, the family doesn't need to be so polite!" William said with a laugh.
"Wella would be very happy if she knew that you had arrived, and Mother was also very happy when she got your news, now let's go meet them!"
Walking into the manor with Lolita, William spoke to him about Wella and Mrs. Comos.
"That's great! I can't wait to meet them! ”
Lolitsa's tone was a little excited, he hadn't seen his family for nine years, and he had been working hard outside and was very eager for family affection.
Passing through the hallway with all the lavish decorations, William led Lolita to his study, and then asked Vidal, who followed him, to call Mrs. Comos and Wella.
"Let's wait!" William said softly, and his attitude was completely between the family.
After that, the two began to talk about some unnutritious topics, mostly about William's experience, and Lolitsa about what he saw.
A moment later, there was a knock at the door, and Vidal said outside the door, "My lord, Mrs. Comos and Mrs. Wella have arrived!" ”
Before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Weina's small figure rushed in from outside the door, looking at the strange-looking man in the room, her expression was slightly dull.
"This is your brother, don't you know him?" William walked up to Wella, took her in his arms, stroked her head, and whispered dotingly.
"What's the matter, little Weina doesn't know me?" Lolitsa smiled bitterly, after all, he had been away from home for nine years, and he was only thirteen years old when he left, and his appearance had completely changed so far, and it was normal for Wella not to recognize him.
"Little Weina has grown so big and is about to get married, and the way you follow me and my eldest brother to secretly go out to ride a horse is still in front of you!" Lolitsa said with some wistfulness.
Hearing Lolitsa say what happened when she was a child, Wellia obviously began to believe it, and looking at Lolitsa's vague appearance that could see some outlines, she immediately believed Lolisa's identity.
William let her go, and Wella threw herself on Lolitsa, crying, "Woo, brother, where the hell have you been, there is no news of you in that convent, we thought you were dead!" ”
Gently lining Wella's back, Lolita also raised her head with a melancholy expression.
If he hadn't offended that monk at the beginning, he would have become the guardian knight of that monastery! And not as a despised mercenary who is money-oriented.
At that moment, Mrs. Comos also walked in through the doorway, her eyes red, and it seemed that she had already cried once.
"Lolitsa!" Mrs. Comos screamed with red eyes.
"Mother!" Lolitsa looked at Mrs. Comos with a guilty expression on her expression.
He knew how much damage he had done to his mother in the past nine years.
Next, it was Lolita who told him everything, including how he became a mercenary, and why he was surrounded and suppressed, and told Wella and Mrs. Comos.
"Then, brother, you won't leave this time!" Wella looked at me Lolitsa expectantly, she was afraid that Lolitsa would leave after the viscount gave up.
Hearing this, Lolita groaned slightly, glanced at William, smiled, and said, "Don't go!" ”
Seeing this, William immediately spoke: "Then I will return the Comos Manor to you, this is originally yours!" ”
Lolitsa glanced at William, a little meaningful, and said: "No need, I'm just a mercenary, I don't even have the status of a knight, not to mention that you avenged my father and brother, and Comos Manor should be inherited by you!" ”
"Besides, I came here this time just to want you to swear allegiance, I don't want to be a mercenary who is rejected and precarious!"
I have to say that Lolitsa has been training outside for many years, and he knows a lot about people and the world, and he knows that William must have invested a lot after inheriting the Comos Manor.
Just now, he also saw the power under William's control, those soldiers in iron armor and extremely strong were not comparable to his mercenaries at all, even if his men were not much different from the armed infantry of other nobles.
William was very satisfied with his acquaintance, and gladly accepted his allegiance: "I accept your allegiance, but there are too many people under your command to support you alone, so why don't you take out some of them as a patrol for me first, and I will pay them a commission!" ”
The two ladies saw that they were talking about business, and they sat quietly on the side without expressing any opinions.
Of course, Lolitsa knew what William meant, he came to join a baron, naturally it was impossible for him to become a nobleman with a fief, and as a knight, his fiefdom was indeed unwilling to support a large number of people.
But more importantly, William would not tolerate such a large army in his territory, but it was not under his control, and no one would allow it.
How could Lolita not understand what William meant, he said so implicitly to take care of Mrs. Comos and Wella's feelings.
Both of them knew that the group of people handed over was William's people, and they were no longer under the jurisdiction of Lolitsa, but although both of them knew, they tacitly did not make it clear.
In this way, after reaching an agreement, William immediately sent Norwen to collect those mercenaries, and William only left twenty people for Lolitsa, in fact, if William didn't want to take into account Wella's feelings, he didn't want to keep any of them.
Although these mercenaries were co-opted and their combat effectiveness was not bad, the military discipline was too poor, so William threw them into the barracks and let them drink new and old soldiers to train together, especially in terms of military discipline, William has been personally practicing these days, and he was afraid that others would not be able to suppress this group of unruly mercenaries.
While William was training his soldiers, nobles from all over Denlenburg were rushing to Mandes Mander, and after the wedding, William would grant Lolitsa a village as his fief.
A few days later, the first nobleman arrived, who had been a vassal of Viscount Curvin and began to cling to the other two viscounts immediately after the fall of Viscount Curwen, but the two viscounts did not accept it, and in the end the Count forgave him and became a direct baron under the Count.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, William sent him to the main castle, and his knights followed him to the rooms of the Manders knights.
Within a few days, the nobles of Denlenburg arrived at Menders Manor one after another to attend the wedding of William and Wella, and at the same time, they also wanted to show favor to William, the celebrity in front of the earl, through this wedding.
