The Count of Brest was more knowledgeable about current affairs than Magnus imagined, or rather, the Count was more ...... than Magnus imagined Greedy for life and afraid of death?

Just seeing the soldiers rushing in front of him, and before he even had time to raise his sword, the earl surrendered very simply. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

To use a popular phrase, you've fallen before I can do anything.

But this is undoubtedly the right choice.

On the battlefield, there are no eyes for swords and arrows, and life and death can only be in peace; But under the battlefield, it is more important than anything else to save a life, although there is no common saying in the West that 'stay in the green mountains is not afraid of no firewood', but people have also said that 'instead of going to the guillotine with your head high, it is better to lower your head and choose to surrender'.

Moreover, in the Middle Ages, surrender was not a shame.

No one is God, who can guarantee that he will not fail, why be so cruel? Everyone is a nobleman, count within eight generations, maybe you can climb a kinship, fight and kill that is a battle of will, usually of course peace is precious, maybe you can also make a friendship, go to relatives or something, isn't it happy?

Well, as naïve as it may seem, this is undoubtedly the true thinking of many, most of the medieval aristocracy.

Bloodline above all else.

Nobles who consider themselves 'blue blood' will only be kind in front of their fellow 'blue blood' nobles. It's just that there are so many red-blooded people in this world, but there are so few blue-blooded people, in order to safeguard the interests of the whole - the entire aristocratic class, and ensure that the blue-blooded people will always be superior to others, the blue-blooded people, of course, can only agree with each other.

Even when it is inevitable that a dispute can only be resolved by bloodshed, only the blood of the red-blooded will be shed, and as for the blood of the blue-blooded, the less the better.

This is an unspoken rule in war, such a rule, even if the soul crosses, Magnus knows it clearly, and he never goes against his mind.

Just as in the original capture of Brittany, with Magnus's formidable military posture, the power of the Duke of Brittany should be invincible and unstoppable; No baronal knight could only groan under his iron hooves, and none of them could come out to disobey half a sentence; But in the end, Magnus only dared to expel all the barons, and did not dare to raise the butcher's knife against any of them.

And they acquiesced in taking away all the possessions they could.

This is the power of the rules, and Magnus does not intend to and cannot violate it until he has the strength to break the entire system.

In a sense, Lord Earl is really a hero, able to advance and retreat, can stretch and bend, and is even more disdainful of any bullshit 'honor', such an enemy, immortality is indeed a big threat.

It's just a pity that Lord Earl made the wrong choice.

It was an asymmetry of information, and he didn't know that Kurt was working under Magnus.

De jure speaking, Magnus lacks a reason to kill the Count of Brest, but Kurt has a lot of them: deceiving the young lord and taking the opportunity to usurp the throne, no matter which one of them, has undoubtedly touched the bottom line of aristocratic society.

Why did the nobles make the rule of not killing the nobles?

Isn't it just to let your status be passed on for generations to come, so that your descendants will always be superior!

Now I don't know where it came from - oh no, the Earl is also a distant relative of Kurt, and there is still some 'blue blood' in him - but it doesn't matter, what matters is that if those relatives of his own are all learned, how can he ensure that his descendants will always be on top?

This is the name of righteousness, Magnus is playing the brand of Cotter, and he is making trouble in Brest at will, and no one can interfere anymore.

But let him pass after this is over.

An outdated earl is no longer qualified to occupy a tirade, and it doesn't matter what the end is. He is in the hands of Kurt, whether he is dead or alive, no one in the whole world will care anymore; In the final analysis, the gatekeeper BOSS of a novice village, it is enough for him to be satisfied with so many scenes, and what is really eye-catching is still the high-sounding emperor and general on the stage, they are the protagonists.

Then, it's time to divide up the spoils.

Or to put it more clearly, the moment of dividing the spoils.

Why is there a war in this world?

For the booty, of course! In addition to the abstract glory, fame, and prestige, there is land, wealth, and gold!

Gold!

Gold! Yellow, glowing, precious gold! With just a little bit, the black can become white, the ugly into beautiful, the wrong into right, the humble into noble, the old into a young man, and the coward into a warrior.

Brest has gold.

To be precise, it is similar in color to gold, but it is a thousand times worse than its price...... Copper ore.

Well, that's a big hit.

But I'm not lying, no.

Gold exists in a free state in nature, and there are traces of it anywhere on the earth, but this amount, 1 ton of soil can extract 0.2 grams, which is quite good.

Besides, if there really were gold mines in Brittany, then there would be nothing to do with Magnus, and the kings and nobles would swarm up like sideburns that smelled blood, open their fangs and sharp teeth, and tear the land to powder, squeeze it dry and clean.

In fact, why did King Louis VII of France sell Brittany for 5,000 pounds of silver?

Because it's so barren! Barren to the point that there is nothing but land and fish!

- Yes, I understand that there is no more precious treasure in this world than land, and to own land is to own the world. But the wealth of the land requires the labor of man to manifest itself, and man ...... Look ahead, the Count of Brest only killed seven people, and Magnus was heartbroken!

It only hurt for a second, though.

But this also verifies from the side that in the Middle Ages, the mutual attacks between the noble lords and the noble lords made the rich land of Europa a disaster! If there really is a God, please count it carefully in the sky, is there still 20 million people in this vast and fertile continent at this moment?

I'm sorry to go too far, but to get back to the point, a copper mine, even if it's just a small copper mine that is 'small', 'located in the mountains', and 'extremely difficult to mine', is not without a small contribution to Magnus.

After all, bronze, that is the sign that brought humanity from the wild night to the dawn of civilization, and the Middle Ages, in this 'Dark Age', there could not be a longer night.
