"What?" When these soldiers heard this, they were furious and said, "How dare they do this to Lord Earl's men! ”

One soldier said, "Who are they?" Aren't you afraid of the Earl's wrath? ”

"They are the nobles of this neighborhood, my dear lord, who, though they have sworn allegiance to the Earl, have not really shown their allegiance.

"They have been encroaching on the Earl's territory before, and this time they have begun to brazenly embezzle the Earl's property!"

The person in charge was weak, but his logic was still very clear.

A soldier rushed up in a grumpy manner, walked up to the person in charge and shouted: "We should teach them a lesson!" How dare they offend Lord Earl in such a way, doesn't he know that Lord Earl is a noble prince? ”

With that, he went back to the back bedroom and put on his armor, ready to teach the other party a lesson.

"Hey, you come back for me! Don't be so impulsive! ”

A soldier stopped him and said, "There are only five of us now, and those nobles have at least a few dozen regular soldiers or armed infantry in their hands, and we can't compete with them!" ”

"So we must not be impulsive, we will act only after we understand the situation!"

After speaking, the soldier turned his gaze to the person in charge and asked, "How many people are there on the other side?" I'm talking about the nobleman who is embezzling the Earl's estate! ”

The person in charge thought about it, he had lived here for many years, and he knew a little about the nobles of the adjacent territory.

He said: "They have a regular army of more than 110 people, and if there is really a war, he can mobilize dozens of free men with good fighting power, and hundreds of serf conscripts!" ”

The soldier nodded, and then asked, "So, to what extent have they encroached on the Earl's estate?" ”

Although the encroachment on the industry is also a provocation, it is different from the encroachment on the occupied territory, which is of a completely different nature.

The person in charge replied: "They have not only usurped the property, but I passed two villages on the way here, and it seems that the rulers have been slain where they have established!" ”

"What!" The soldiers all let out an exclamation in unison.

They didn't expect that things had developed to this point, and they would dare to openly encroach on the Earl's territory.

You know, the encroachment on an industry like a mill can be resolved through negotiation, but the encroachment and establishment of rule is no different from a declaration of war.

In their hearts, as the crown prince of the Kingdom of Lorik and the grandson of the Grand Duke of Kraxa, Charlemagne should be something that no one dared to provoke, but things did not develop according to everyone's assumptions.

This little baron dared to compete with an earl, an earl with multiple identities.

The soldier who had just spoken was silent, but he quickly made a decision, and said, "This matter is no longer in our possession, and we must report it to the Earl as soon as possible!" ”

"Wu An, you escort this old man to meet Lord Earl, and you must ensure his safety! It's very important, more important than your life and mine's, you know? ”

The soldier stared into the eyes of the grumpy soldier before him, and said seriously and solemnly.

Wu An saw that the soldier's attitude was so serious, and his expression gradually became serious.

He nodded solemnly, and then said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring him safely to Lord Earl!" ”

With that, he went back to his room and began to arm, putting on the chain mail and the leather armor and the cotton armor lined with it.

And the outer layer of armor is also put on the body, but the heaviest layer of scale armor on the body is not worn, this equipment can be said to be indestructible when the formation and group action, but if only one person fights and marches, it is a burden.

So he didn't wear such heavy armor.

While he was wearing his armor, the other soldiers were sitting in preparation for their departure.

Three horses were already waiting at the gate of the manor, and in addition to these there were some air-dried and bacon meats, as well as dry food such as white bread.

Wu An took the person in charge and the serf, all three of whom were riding on horses, and waved at the four soldiers behind him, and left here.

They walked vigilantly on the road, since the enemy had begun to encroach on Charlemagne's territory, it meant that the territory was no longer safe.

Fortunately, however, they had traveled smoothly, and they were only twenty kilometers from Charlemagne's Cerrienburg, and in only half a day, they reached the outside of Cerrienburg.

Although the walls of Cerrienburg are not tall, they are already incomparably tall and shocking in the hearts of these uninformed people.

Cerrienburg was a city and not a castle defended as a fortress.

Therefore, his defense was not tight, and the castle of Serrienburg, which was wide open, was full of merchants coming and going, but this group of three people still attracted the attention of the guards when they arrived at the city gate.

After all, the armor on the royal infantry was so eye-catching that even the most elite guards in the merchant caravans did not have such armor.

Several guards walked over, and the three of them turned over and dismounted to be interrogated.

"Stranger, please explain your origin and identity!" The leader of the guards walked up to them and said.

The soldier stepped forward and took out the name tag around his neck, and said to the guard in front of him: "The Second Brigade of the Second Division of the Third Town of the First Regiment of the Royal Infantry, and the Ninth Brigade of the Fourth Column Wu An!" ”

As soon as these guards heard Wu An's words, their expressions suddenly turned grim, the royal infantry was not something that their group could mess with.

He changed his tone and said, "It turned out to be a royal infantryman, so it's fine!" ”

"That's right!" Wu An said: "I have something very important to report to Lord Earl, please inform Lord Earl, I need to be received!" ”

The town watch guard hesitated, but after a moment's thought, agreed.

After all, the royal infantry is the elite of Charlemagne's lineage brought from the Kingdom of Lorik, and even he says that it is a very important matter, so if he delays it, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

So he took the three of them to the small pavilion where the guards were staying, and the leader of the guards said, "Wait a moment, my lord, I'll go and talk to my captain!" ”

With that, he hurried to the interior of the castle.

His efficiency was still good, and he came back after more than an hour, and he said breathlessly: "My lord, the earl has agreed to meet you, please come with me!" ”

Wu An nodded, greeted the two people behind him, and followed the guards to the main fort.
