On the same day, after the clerk of Ruggi had drawn up the terms, the count had the nobles of Issamdenburg led into the tent in the middle of the camp.

"Hello, Earl of Consville!" The Earl looked at the Earl of Findsville and his party who came in, and said politely.

"Hello, Count of Loire."

"This war itself is a misunderstanding, but the casualties have been incurred after all, and I must give an account for my vassals and dead soldiers!" The Earl said.

"Yes, it is indeed a misunderstanding, a false quarrel between the Holy Father and his people, like a quarrel between two siblings over some trivial matter!" The Earl of Consville also said.

William sat in the middle of the aristocracy, and the two of them were here to fake pleasantries, talking nonsense like bullshit, which had no nutrition and no value.

"I wonder how many silver coins you want to redeem the honor of you and your vassals, as well as the knights?" The Earl seemed to be tired of those bullshit greetings, and asked straight to the point.

"Uh...... A hundred silver coins per knight, five hundred silver coins for the baron, and a thousand silver coins for the viscount, I ...... myself Four thousand silver coins, what do you think? The Earl of Consville hesitated slightly, then asked tentatively.

The Earl pondered for a while and said, "Isn't this price a little out of line with your status?" ”

"I think there should be one hundred and fifty silver coins per knight, eight hundred for the baron, and one thousand for the viscount, and you, Earl of Consville, I think six thousand silver coins are worthy of your noble status!" The Count raised the price with a blank face, and the winner was so willful.

"This ...... That's too much, isn't it? The Earl of Consville immediately wanted to get angry, because he was usually so angry with his high authority.

However, he also knew that he had been defeated and had to bow his head if he was not under the roof, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart and said in a low voice.

After some bargaining between the two, the ransom was finally settled for one hundred and twenty silver coins for each knight, six hundred for the baron, one thousand two hundred for the viscount, and five thousand silver for the Earl of Censville himself.

At this price, their ransom alone would have been able to get more than 20,000 silver coins, of which the Earl of Consville alone accounted for a quarter of the figure, and William had been busy for four days, which was a thousand silver coins more than the ransom of the Earl of Consville.

"And also, your soldiers, for what price are you going to pay for it? I only accept the flat price, the price of armed infantry and light infantry cannot be the same, and light infantry, oh yes, your own equipment also needs to be redeemed by yourself! The Count continued.

"Of course we do!" The Earl of Consville looked at the Earl and said, but they don't have to worry about the equipment, they only need to redeem the equipment at a slightly lower price than the market price, after all, if it is more expensive than the market price, it is better to buy a new one.

They gathered together to discuss how to redeem their soldiers, armed infantry they must redeem, after all, they have been trained for so long, and their fighting will, skills, and physique are not comparable to serfs.

As for the light infantry, they are a little entangled, redeem it, it must be a lot of money, and if they don't redeem it, it will be a lot less labor for them, and the already plundered territory will become even worse.

After some discussion, they came up with a definite answer, and the Earl of Surveyville began to bargain with the Earl on behalf of the nobles.

"We can pay a ransom of twenty silver coins for each armed infantryman, along with their undamaged equipment, and the light infantry ...... Each of us can give three silver coins, and we hope that the generous and benevolent Count of Denlenburg will grant us our wish. ”

The Earl was noncommittal, but looked at his vassals, apparently seeking their opinion.

Seeing this, Viscount Raul was the first to speak: "Hehe, don't even think about such a price, Lord Earl, we must understand that these light infantry can become laborers immediately after being redeemed by them, and as long as they are trained, they can go to the battlefield as armed infantry, after all, they have experienced such a cruel battle, and they are very good at fighting compared to other light infantry, so I think the ransom for each light infantry should be no less than ten silver coins!" ”

After hearing this, the Earl moved his gaze to the direction of the Earl of Cousinville, which meant that he agreed with Viscount Raul's opinion and asked them to make a new offer!

The Earl of Conesville consulted with the nobles again with an embarrassed expression, and it seemed that this time it was really going to hemorrhage, and according to this trend, the Earl of Connsville and his vassals were likely to be in debt as a result.

After some discussion, and bargaining with the nobles of Denlenburg, the price was finally set at the price of twenty-five silver coins for the armed infantry and six silver coins for the light infantry.

More than 300 armed infantry were captured, and more light infantry were captured, a full 2,000 people, and the ransom added up to more than 20,000 silver coins.

War is the fastest way to make a fortune, and with the indemnity, the Earl of Consville and his vassals are estimated to be bankrupt.

The nobles on the Denlenburg side were excited, because according to custom, these ransoms were to be given to the captives of the knights and soldiers, so the more prisoners these nobles had, the more ransom they could get.

William also had three or four hundred captives in his hands, which were all Mendes' infantry, and the other nobles didn't dare to rob them, so the captives in William's hands were relatively large among all the nobles.

"Okay, we're done with the ransom, and the next thing is your compensation to us!" The Count smiled again.

With that, the Earl handed the file in his hand to the Earl of Gunsville.

The Earl of Censville took it and exclaimed in surprise: "This ...... It's too much, I can't accept such conditions! ”

It is true that such a clause can even be considered harsh, but after all, they are losers and are not qualified to oppose such a condition.

"You don't agree?"

"Yes, I can't agree to it, it's too exaggerated, and the conditions above can even shake my rule, please forgive me for absolutely not accepting it!"

"If you don't accept it, we will attack Issamdenburg, forty kilometers away, and take down this prosperous city, there will definitely be a lot of wealth in it, and there will be no need to pay compensation, and after taking here, we will have an extra territory, and you don't need to cede it!"

The earl's face was expressionless at this time, but the domineering between the words was undoubtedly revealed, victory, and his vassals were the confidence for him to speak like this.

There weren't too many defenders in Isamdenburg, no more than five hundred, although the Count only intended to intimidate the other party with this plan.

But if the other party really doesn't accept it, he probably can really do this kind of thing, after all, it is not difficult to conquer a castle guarded by less than five hundred people.
