At that time, the two of them had made up their minds and were about to do it, but Count Xiao Tang was a little hesitant, worried that the matter would be exposed, worried that his knights would not agree, and worried about this and that. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But this can't be blamed on him, after all, until the crossing, Count Tang was just an ordinary college student who didn't work hard and didn't even kill a chicken.

But now he is already riding a tiger.

Because all the knights in the realm already knew the news, and were jubilant and ready to make a fortune, if the little Count Tang dared to disagree with them now, then the knights would not mind robbing the monastery and sending the lord who 'sold his soul to the devil' to God.

The main reason for this situation is that the relationship between knights and lords is by no means simply the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the lords of the West have never had the power of life and death over their subordinates like the emperors of the East, and in more sense, knights and lords, at least they are equal in class - knights were knighted when they were knights, and they could be said to be the smallest lords in the feudal era.

Moreover, the knights actually held the largest military power in their territory - although this power was scattered among the knights, and the knightly class was far from awakened - but anyone who underestimated this power would undoubtedly be swept into the dustbin of history!

If we do a survey now, and look at the people of each class separately, it is definitely not only the two emperors who have the most power and force, nor the dozen or twenty kings, nor the chaotic principalities and counts, but the countless knights who are like stars!

Why?

Because the knights themselves were already the smallest lords, they ruled their own domains directly and had absolute authority within their domains. Moreover, a knight has at least three servants by his side, that is, a heavy cavalry plus three light cavalry, plus a vote of cannon fodder peasant soldiers. Speaking of the Earl of Desmond alone, if these knights partner against his mother, then Earl Tang can only stage a very high white turbidity family governor ~ black beast. AVI too!

Therefore, the little Count Tang did not dare and could not refuse the demands of the knights - at least when the knights were united, besides, even the emperors of the East, who had been in power for more than a thousand years, were often cornered by the ministers, let alone a little count in the West.

Therefore, this matter is settled, and a total of twelve knights in the earldom are fully armed, just waiting for Count Xiao Tang to give an order, and then go to kill and rob!

But, I mean, but, even a small military operation, with a total of less than fifty men (twelve knights, each with an average of three minions), the logistical problems had to be taken care of.

Some people may have to ask, there are only less than 50 people in total, and the place is only a one-day journey, what kind of logistics do you have to do?

Then you couldn't be more wrong!

Robbery of monasteries - this is not a good thing, much less a good reputation - if it is exposed, a heretical charge will not run away - but it is not a big deal, if nothing else, next door to the Eternal City are heretics, and people come to smash the field every day; Besides, he can't have an expeditionary force to come to you across thousands of mountains and rivers, what a deep love and money do to do such a brainless thing.

But that doesn't mean the crime isn't serious.

In these years, although the power of the church has not reached its peak, to the point where the emperor kneels on the ground and licks the Pope's boots, its position in the hearts of the peasants has become more and more stable, as for the nobles, hehe, as long as the nobles are not brain-dead, they can see the danger of a church that controls everything, but you can't stand the fact that the nobles are all close relatives married in these years - there are a lot of brain-dead!

Moreover, those nobles who were not brainless, such as William, the illegitimate son of a sea away, maintained a vague relationship with the church, both cooperative and wary.

But if the Pope, no, don't bother the Pope, as long as an archbishop decides that Count Don Jr. is a heretic, this illegitimate son nicknamed 'The Conqueror' will definitely be the first to sign up for the precursor, and at the same time take the county of Desmond by the way.

And the things in the monastery, pigs, cattle, sheep and food, etc., are easy to say, and the monastery can't be stamped up, and you can use it directly when you pull it back, but the gold-coated god is like a candlestick made of silver, and you can't take it out, you have to find a sales channel.

But this is not a problem, the infidels, and some bold Jewish merchants, as long as the goods are good, can always find a buyer, the only concern is that it will take some time to exchange it for cash at the time.

So now, the most important thing was to disguise himself as a heretic from the north - in fact, Count Don felt that there was no need to pretend at all, and his knights looked no different from infidels.

The knights' servants are all right, because they don't have armor, they are just wearing linen clothes, and they are not dyed, and the water is blue and white, and it looks like a bit of an army, but knights, knights, are you a monkey invited to tease?

The most respectful and amiable knight of the Orcobar wore a helmet made of thin pieces of iron, on which a nose guard was attached, and the rest of the helmet was made of a single piece of thin iron. The helmet was brand new, with no traces of blood on it, and must have been quite expensive, but unfortunately, it didn't seem to have been made for the Alcobar knight, whose head was bigger than him, so the helmet dangled back and forth around the neck of the Alcobar knight, reminiscent of a clay pot buckled upside down on a railing.

Then, he put on a suit of chain mail—a high-end item—just by the envious eyes of the knights around him. The chain mail extended directly to the hem, and was clasped with countless wire loops, and it looked like it fit well, a shape that the little Earl Don would have reminiscent of something called a fishnet anyway.

Underneath the chain mail are riding boots and spurs, which symbolize the status of knights, and the boots are high-heeled because of the stirrups.

This is how Count Don looked at a knight with a helmet on top of a large circle, wearing fishnet chain mail, and stepping on high heels.

In particular, in order to hide his identity, the knight of Alcoba also put on a yellow coat outside, which made the little Count Don feel more and more that he was leading a circus rather than doing some kind of murder and arson.

Even the Olcobar knights are like this, so the other knights don't need to mention, they all wear strange shapes one by one, and the armor is all kinds of models from all over the world.

No wonder the clowns of this era are dressed up so obviously, wearing pointed hats and stepping on stilts, otherwise others may see this group of knights as clowns.

Count Don Jr. thought so, so he decided to do something.

"Well...... Knight Alcoba, why don't you swap helmets with this knight? You see, he is too small and yours is obviously too big, such an ill-fitting helmet is quite uncomfortable to wear in normal times, and I am afraid that it will be a little dangerous on the battlefield! ”

Little Count Tang searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, he didn't want to anger this knight in such a trivial matter, he tried to use a gentle tone, with a trace of the nature of an ignorant child, and he felt cute!

However, it is clear that the Knights of the Olcoba do not eat cute sets, on the contrary, he is more interested in some shiny things.

Then the knight's eyes widened suddenly—his eyes, which were already large, were now like the eyes of a bull.

"What are you talking about, Lord Earl! The price of my helmet is three times that of his! The knight of the Olcoba waved his hands and feet, as if he had heard some funny words, and said, "Of course, if you are willing to compensate for the difference, it is not non-negotiable. ”

Count Xiao Tang took a deep breath, you are very good and strong, I, take it.
