Chapter 681: Surrender
Not long after Fang Yuan and his party entered the castle, the Frey's army really suddenly appeared and surrounded the entire castle.
"Now...... The wolf is really coming! ”
Fang Yuan stood at the top of the wall, looking at the army in the distance.
Under the turquoise banner, Sir Frey's army exceeded 1,000 men, and a large number of farmers with pitchforks and the like were entrapped to guard all the main roads up the mountain.
"It's ...... Are you preparing to drive out the people and attack the city? ”
Fang Yuan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene.
Sir Frey's hand is indeed quite ruthless, because the people he uses are all strong men from the direct jurisdiction of the baron!
At this time, the hundreds of troops in the castle who had just lost the battle and were demoralized could not be consumed for long.
Even, no matter which side died, it didn't matter to Sir Frey.
"A baron's castle is under siege, but the nearby nobles have not responded, it seems that the baron has mastered the righteousness, Frey has the strength, and the other lords have all chosen to watch from the sidelines?"
This was not good news for the baron, as it meant that there were no more reinforcements.
"So it seems...... The office is also a broken ship, and Grand Duke Stan is almost exhausted, right? ”
Fang Yuan silently sneered in his heart.
At this time, a cavalryman rushed out of the camp of Frey's army, came under the castle, and shouted:
"Sir Frey is a benevolent man, as long as Baron Shawshank admits his mistake and signs a letter of repentance, he promises not to pursue further!"
"Otherwise, we're going to break the castle! What happens when the time comes, is something that no one wants to see! ”
"Even if the baron is determined to resist, if the other soldiers and knights choose to surrender, Sir Frey will definitely not pursue it, and will guarantee all your wealth, fiefdoms and other rights and interests!"
……
"Hmph, protect our fiefdom and wealth!"
Gray Knight didn't know when he came to the side, and his face was ugly: "Who does he think he is?" Lord Baron? It's just that a mere knight like us dares to ...... like this."
"In fact, the strength of Knight Frey is completely at the ordinary level of a baron...... If the office is soft this time, maybe the canonization order will come down soon! ”
Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "The winner dominates everything, it's that simple!" ”
"Sir Rune...... You shouldn't ......?"
Gray's gaze instantly became cold and a little wary.
"Of course...... It is a shame to be a noble knight and accept the forgiveness of another knight! So I'm going to fight each other to the end! ”
Fang Yuan spoke generously.
In reality, he was just following the rules of the game for the nobles.
The ruling power of this world is still the nobles and priests.
And among the aristocracy, if you want not to be regarded as an upstart, you must pay attention to the background and connotation!
What about someone like Frey, no matter how strong the troops are? Hasn't it been unanimously despised and coldly received?
Even if he can win this time and even be canonized as a baron, I am afraid that he will still be resisted by the noble circles in the future, whether explicitly or implicitly, and cannot be changed unless all this is broken.
Because in the eyes of all the nobles, he is 'the one who breaks the rules'!
On the contrary, Baron Shawshank has a pedigree and a long history of orthodoxy.
Sometimes, the righteous name is not worth a penny, and sometimes it is as heavy as Mount Tai!
"Even ...... Even if the Kingdom of Nott can win, I'm afraid it won't be too much to see such a guy...... Just like in ancient times in the previous life, the guy who turned his back on the lord often did not end well, but was a loyal minister, even if it was a loyal minister of the enemy, he would be praised and honored, in the final analysis, it was to establish values! ”
In the world of Monge, it is the values of the aristocracy that prevail.
The nouveau riche general Frey, within a few generations, it is difficult to really squeeze into this circle!
Therefore, Fang Yuan would not choose the other party at all.
Although, if it weren't for the justifiable inheritance, his starting methods might be similar to the other party!
"Knights of Rune ......"
Gray was deeply moved.
Under the command of the same baron, even he was shaken for a moment just now, and at this time he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his selfish thoughts.
"Actually...... I think we can still surrender! ”
Fang Yuan blinked suddenly.
"You mean...... Fraud?! ”
Gray's expression moved: "You still want to continue the war?" ”
"Of course, how can you become a defeated for no reason? There are still two hundred soldiers in this castle, plus you and my servants, and all the servants, which is enough to fight! ”
Fang Yuanyi clenched his fists: "If you want to turn defeat into victory, this is the last chance!" ”
"This ...... I need to inform the Baron! ”
Gray Knight was a little moved, and then he continued to speak in a deep voice.
"Of course...... Such a big thing must be decided by the baron! ”
In fact, Fang Yuan was already eighty percent sure of the baron's choice, and the other party would agree with his proposition.
Because at this time, the baron has nothing to lose.
……
At night, the moonlight is sprinkled and calm as water.
Sir Frey, with a group of elite cavalry and warriors, approached the castle in the dark.
"How likely do you think that is?"
He clutched a piece of paper in his hand, and the expression on his face was a little hesitant.
"According to common sense, the conditions you gave are forgiving enough, even if the knight is tempted, it is not impossible!"
At Sir Frey's side, Bishop Daniel spoke slowly.
Although the feudal lords and vassals of this era also have the connection between monarchs and vassals, they are definitely not as absolute and close as the Eastern Dynasty in Fang Yuan's previous life, but contain power and obligations to each other.
There will never be a case where the king wants his ministers to die and the ministers have to die.
The feudal lord's orders were absurd, the vassals refused to obey, and the two sides pulled up their armies to fight, which was more common.
Even the losers will not be deprived of everything, but will retain the last bit of hope for a comeback, this is the benevolence of the nobility, and the rules of the game in their circle - only for the nobility, of course.
At this time, at the point of exhaustion, it seems reasonable for a knight to betray Baron Shawshank.
"I think so, too!"
Knight Frey's heart was a little hot, as if he had seen the moment when he occupied the Baron's castle.
The night was dark, and even if the torches were lit on the castle, it could not dispel the heavy sleepiness.
In the silence, Frey waved his hand, and one of the thieves stepped forward, imitating the call of a mouse, and called three times in a regular manner, which was the agreed code.
Bang dang!
It didn't take long for there to seem to be a slight commotion on the city walls, and in an instant, the gates of the castle slowly opened.
"Bishop...... You see? ”
Looking at the door of the black hole-like castle, Sir Frey hesitated again, and looked at Daniel with a pleading gaze: "Great Death, can you give me guidance?" ”
"Sir Frey, we are servants of God, and we can only obey God's will, and the gods are high, how can we care about such a small matter?"
Bishop Daniel immediately reprimanded in displeasure.
If Hess descends, even if it is just a wisp of will, what tricks are the enemies in the castle playing, naturally there is nothing to hide.
However, priests and priests are only servants of the gods, so how can they ask the gods to do things for them in turn? If it were replaced by the Son or the Pope, he might still have a little hope, but he would be purely dreaming.
However, as a supporter of the Church of the Reaper, Sir Frey still had to meet some of his requirements.
Therefore, Daniel closed his eyes and instantly had a feedback:
"I feel the breath of death! Inside the castle, someone should have returned to our lord's reward at this time! ”
"So, fire isn't real?!"
Frey's eyes lit up, and he no longer hesitated: "Rush in!" ”
Woo Lala!
A large number of soldiers, with excitement and a desire to make a fortune, or the purest of destructiveness, maintained an astonishing discipline and rushed in.
Soon, a signal of safety came from the city.
Seeing this, Frey chuckled, and as he rode his horse, he rushed into the castle.
It's just that what he didn't know was that just after he rushed into the gate of the castle, Fang Yuan, who was secretly observing, immediately ordered: "The operation begins!" ”
Thundered!
A violent explosion appeared, and a large cloud of fire filled the castle gates, and the surrounding warriors were immediately torn apart by the storm, or simply swept away and passed out in mid-air.
"It's ...... Pitfall! ”
A layer of magical light appeared on Bishop Daniel's body, resisting the damage for him, but he was stunned to see that the original city gate had been completely buried by rubble, turning into a moat that isolated the inside and outside!
"Kill!"
"Kill all the invaders!"
Bursts of shouts emerged from all directions.
At this time, Frey's side no longer had a numerical advantage, and fell into a well-arranged trap, and was immediately killed by a burst of arrows, and the team completely scattered.
"Scourge aura, on!"
On Fang Yuan's body, two auras emerged, staggering to release a light that enveloped the battlefield.
The advancement of the Scourge Knight originally required necromancy and resentment, coupled with the talent of the Dream Master, it was naturally a piece of cake to create an illusion and hide it from a small priest.
"Scourge Knight!"
Bishop Daniel looked at Fang Yuan, who rushed into the crowd and was invincible, but his face was very strange: "Run, meet again...... At this time, you really gave me a big surprise! ”
……
Just as the sky was boiling outside, in the depths of the castle, inside the baron's bedroom.
There was a sound of sobbing, and the Baroness, Teemo, and Tanya were all there, looking at the Baron on the hospital bed.
At this time, he had come to the end of his life.
"My dear...... Listen, the plan worked! ”
The baroness looked at Baron Shawshank, and when she saw that the other party's eyes had been widening, paying attention to the movements around her, she couldn't help but step forward and speak softly.
"Very good......
Baron Shawshank pointed at Timo with difficulty: "Everything else is left to you, and Tanya, you have to help your brother well......"
After saying the will, he looked in the direction from which the noise came; His face was full of pity and unwillingness, but he couldn't say anything after all, and his arm fell limply on the mattress......
