Chapter 564: Release the Nobles
However, the White Rose Heraldic Knight, who led the team, stopped him: "Stop Wharton, our accusation is to capture Duke Bunkerson!" ”
"Now we must bring the Duke of Bunkerson and these nobles who have "abandoned darkness to light" to the Earl! ”
Stopped by the knight, the knight put down the long sword in his hand and reluctantly retreated.
"Hello, I am the leading knight of the Fourth Banner of the First Wing of the Iron Cross Knights under the command of the Venerable Count William of Denlenburg, please explain your identity!"
"Viscount Loka, my name is Loka, I am a former vassal of Duke Bunkerson, and we now abandon the darkness to help Count William capture him!"
Viscount Loka said.
"Very well, then now please come with me to Count William, explain to him what you mean, and hope that you may be forgiven by the Count!"
As they spoke, Duke Bunkerson was hung by the soldiers, and he felt extremely humiliated, like a piece of cargo, and no one spoke to him, paying attention to his every move.
"Thank you for your understanding, now I can follow you to Count William!"
At this time, William also received the news that all enemies in the castle had been eliminated, and the Blackstone Army also returned to his station very well.
At this point, all the Denlenburg troops entered the castle and controlled every corner, the archers and crossbowmen occupied the high ground, and the Denlenburg infantry occupied all the communication arteries.
William rode a high-headed war horse and entered the castle surrounded by the incomparably elite knights of the Inner Palace.
He rode his war horse, and his vassals were accompanied by him, talking and laughing as they marched to the palace.
At this moment, all his vassals were extremely flattering to William, and they knew that after the elimination of the Duke of Bunkerson, William was the de facto ruler of the entire Tskema Kingdom.
It is not certain that they will be crowned kings at that time, and their group of vassals who have followed William since he was an earl will definitely get a lot of benefits.
Because they asked themselves, they had never disobeyed William, because William's strength was already strong, and whoever dared to resist him would probably have been killed a long time ago.
And under such a harmonious relationship, William will definitely not reward anyone because the relationship is not good.
In the midst of this joke, they entered the once magnificent royal palace.
William looked at the inside of the palace with emotion, it used to be so luxurious, but at this time, it was full of blood and corpses all over the ground.
Swords and spears were also scattered on the ground, and broken corpses could be seen everywhere, full of flowers, and the incomparably glorious palace had long since become a ruined battlefield.
It's just a ruined castle that has been breached twice in a row.
Those luxurious and expensive decorations have long been taken away, and there is nothing left.
William dismounted and walked deeper into the palace, where he met a dozen knights escorting Duke Bunkerson.
When the White Rose Knight saw William, he hurriedly ran over and saluted and reported, "Report to Lord Earl, Duke Bunkerson has been caught!" ”
"It was the vassals under the Duke of Bunkerson who "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light" and captured him, and planned to sacrifice it to you, Lord Earl! ”
William smiled in some surprise, and then said, "What about people? Let them bring Duke Bunkerson! ”
"Here, noble Earl!"
At this time, Viscount Carlo came to William, and he asked the soldiers to quickly bring Duke Bunkerson to William, and then quickly knelt down on one knee himself.
The nobles behind him also knelt down on one knee one after another, and at this time they couldn't help but be humble, as long as William had the mind, not to mention whether he would kill them or not, just talking about taking back the territory and exile them was something they couldn't afford.
Seeing this, William smiled and said, "Get up, you have proven your admiration for me!" ”
William's attitude towards them was not bad, and he actually didn't like such a vassal who betrayed his feudal lord at will.
But he must set a benchmark that he will be kind to all those who come to him.
His journey could not stop here, his offensive would blossom in all directions in the future, and if the other nobles were like Viscount Carlo, then he would definitely save a lot of trouble and reduce a lot of casualties.
For this reason, he was willing to accept these nobles who betrayed the feudal king.
Seeing William's pleasant appearance, these nobles finally let go of the big stone in their hearts, they had been worried that William was unwilling to worry about himself, the person who betrayed the feudal monarch, and they were uneasy in their hearts.
Now he finally let go of his worries and stood behind William.
After accepting them, William walked up to Duke Bunkerson with great interest.
He looked at the listless and dejected Duke Bunkerson, and couldn't help but sigh: "Is this still the Duke of Bunkerson who was so high-spirited that he even buried King Brolin?" ”
The Duke of Bunkerson listened to William's words that were similar to mockery, raised his eyes to look at William, and said weakly and full of despair: "Kill me!" ”
"Of course! Of course I will kill you, I will kill you for my benefactors, King Brolin and Queen Daline, and I will stick your body in all sides of the land, so that everyone can see the fate of those who have committed the following crimes! ”
William didn't hesitate and said immediately.
Duke Bunkerson was stunned for a moment, then nodded, as if relieved.
Soon, William quickly took control of the entire castle.
"Well, you should have fulfilled your promise, shouldn't you?" The Marquis of Apollon said in front of William.
"Of course, my dear Marquis, but have you forgotten something?"
Marquis Apollon's smile froze, and he said helplessly: "Okay sir, you are really shrewd, I will pay you one million and two hundred thousand silver coins!" ”
Only then did William smile and say, "Very good, after we finish handing over, you can leave here unscathed!" ”
After the Marquis of Apollon had left, William said, "Tell the Marquis of Cloton the news!" ”
The next day, the Marquis of Apollon and the Marquis of Cloton handed over to William, and a total of 1.7 million silver coins fell into William's pocket.
Together with the remaining more than 1.3 million silver coins taken out of Duke Bunkerson, a total of three million silver coins, all of which went into William's account.
For some time to come, these coins would become William's main source of funds for the construction of his domain.
After the battle, William went to the place where the Duke of Bunkerson was holding the nobles of the kingdom.
At this time, there were only more than 70 nobles left in this prison, and many nobles had already died in the prison during this time.
When William released them, they were almost grateful to Dade with tears in their eyes.
Even the Count of Sattell, who had a bad relationship with William, was grateful to William.
Almost everyone expressed their allegiance to William, as they were aware of William's intentions.
