Chapter 603: The Baron (1200 Plus)
"The wealth of the Karos Territory will help us solve our problems, but you need a more loyal and reassuring vassal to control it all for you!"
Seeing that it seemed to impress the Earl of Blue Mountain, Richard immediately continued his efforts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"You mean...... Resealed? ”
The Earl of Blue Mountain asked hesitantly.
In fact, Richard preferred that the Earl of Blue Mountain could directly hang William and confiscate everything from him, but he also knew that this was not realistic, so he could only say: "In this battle, Sir William also made meritorious contributions, so why not change him to a bigger fief?" ”
"Even Sir William would not have objected to your decision, and would be grateful for it."
In Richard's opinion, if Sir William can be promoted to baron, he should be grateful to Dade for giving away all the secret recipes and factories, and as for the Karos Lord, naturally only he is a more suitable lord.
Cisse that pig, do you think that no one knows about his little thoughts?
If Wu Ming was here, he would inevitably laugh.
After all, these nobles, though they coveted his territory, knew nothing about management, and were so confident that it was as if there was no problem at all after taking over.
I really don't know where this kind of self-confidence comes from.
Perhaps, they thought that as long as they mastered the skill of collecting taxes, Carros would be like a hen laying golden eggs, bringing them a steady stream of profits.
……
Whining!
The trumpet sounded.
Wu Ming led hundreds of cavalry and galloped around the battlefield, and the soldiers behind cheered loudly and charged after the cavalry with excited expressions.
Days have passed since the war.
With a little thought, coupled with the deterrence of force, he had already subdued his cavalry and won a great victory in every battle.
However, Viscount Garcia on the opposite side was not a mediocre hand, although he was forced to retreat again and again, the legion phalanx was extremely stable, and there was no chance of breaking through.
The whole situation was at a stalemate, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Viscount Garcia had fallen into an absolute disadvantage, and if there was no accident, failure was only a matter of time.
While!
The knight's spear was stained with blood, Wu Ming's thigh was clamped, and the war horse under the seat almost turned into a whirlwind, forming a straight black line.
Burst!
The spear thrusts, piercing through a knight with an incredulous face on the opposite side.
Woohoo!
After killing this enemy, a rain of arrows came from the opposite side, and since they showed their unparalleled bravery, these cavalrymen on the opposite side were already afraid of fighting Wu Ming again, and each time they were stubbornly defending the phalanx, and once he approached, they forced back with bows and arrows.
"Is that all you can do?"
Wu Ming threw down his spear and pulled out the dragon heart sword, the light blue light flashed, and most of the arrows fell to the ground.
He roared, showing his peerless strength, but he had no intention of serving the Earl of Blue Mountain, and slowly retreated after a moment.
Whining!
A low horn sounded, bringing the order to withdraw the troops.
"Sir William!"
"William!"
"William!"
……
Many soldiers shouted excitedly, and the cavalry under Wu Ming's command were all honored.
"Tsk...... Another knight! ”
Baron Terry greeted him, looking at Wu Ming's beheaded head, with a look of amazement on his face: "This is the thirteenth, right?" In addition to calling you the Cloth Sword Master, the enemy should now add the nickname of a knight killer. ”
He lowered his voice: "Now that we have gained the advantage and forced Viscount Garcia's army into a desperate situation, as long as we hold on for two or three more days, we will definitely win!" ”
Wu Ming handed the reins to Ava, turned over and dismounted, and asked the attendant to take off his scarred, flesh-covered armor: "You seem to be a little hesitant? ”
"Not bad...... Maybe Lord Earl is right, the Xiongshi family in the highlands also has restrictions, and they can't break through the defenses of Eagle Castle! ”
Baron Terry put on a relaxed expression: "The war will soon be over, and we are on the side of the victors!" ”
He looked like his eyebrows were fluttering, and he had a bit of a taste of raising his eyebrows.
It seems that the victory of these days is also a kind of catharsis for him, and the humiliation of the last capture has been greatly relieved.
"Even Baron Terry, not to mention the other high-ranking people in the barracks......"
Wu Ming and Terry went to attend the earl's banquet together, but their hearts were clearer.
Along the way, he saw more and more laughter, a large amount of alcohol with the military merchants, and a lot of colorful and heavy makeup.
They openly lived in the barracks, laughed and flirted loudly with the soldiers, and the nobles took the lead in breaking military discipline.
"Carried away by a series of victories?"
Wu Ming took a deep breath slightly.
From the atmosphere around him, he smelled death.
"It's close......"
Although the rules of the universe are different, and that trace of true spirit only brings him extraordinary perception, after awakening the power of the people, Wu Ming has developed more abilities and seen more things.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a great danger coming.
With this warning, he naturally would not let his subordinates slack off, and immediately ordered Jack to reorganize his five hundred soldiers, and asked Ava to drive away all the hawkers and warblers in the cavalry camp.
The two forces under his command were already the best places in the barracks for military discipline, and the prestige he had barely built up in the cavalry camp was enough to suppress the soldiers and carry out the order.
It's just that in other parts of the barracks, there is a weak heart.
……
Inside the manager's tent.
Flames burned, roast suckling pig, roast goose, fried potatoes, fish pancakes...... The aroma of many delicacies lingered, red wine and beer were constantly carried to the center of the venue, the music bands sang and danced, and many aristocrats were wandering, holding the shoulders of the warblers in their hands, and they were looking for fun.
When Wu Ming came in, what he saw was such a picture, and it was obvious that in order to celebrate today's victory, the Earl decided to have a carnival to his heart's content.
"Haha...... Look! Our warrior, the Cloth Sword Master, has arrived! ”
The Earl of Blue Mountain blushed and spoke with a hint of wine: "Let's cheer for the heroes!" ”
"Cheers!"
Wine glasses were lifted into the air, and hops and red wine were splashed everywhere.
"What do you seem to have forgotten, Lord Count?"
Next to the Earl of the Blue Mountains, Lord Richard, who looked feminine and unusually beautiful, reminded.
"Yes, William Wallace!"
The Earl of the Blue Mountains proclaimed, "You have slain more than a dozen knights of the enemy, and you are famous for your bravery and exploits, I will give you a larger fief and make you a baron!" ”
The scene was silent, and many nobles stopped looking for fun, obviously digesting the news.
William Wallace would become a baron after the war, and this was already the consensus of everyone, after all, his achievements were obvious to all.
But he couldn't wait so much, it was a little different from the style of Lord Earl, and looking at the other party's sparkling eyes, it was obvious that he was not really drunk.
"Give a bigger fief?"
Next to him, Baron Terry's face turned pale, and he immediately understood the plan of Lord Count of Blue Mountain: "Resealed? A barony in exchange for a Carros collar? ”
Obviously, for any knight, this is a great profit, except Sir William!
According to the rumors of the Wind Firefly Plain, his territory has long been filled with mountains of gold and silver.
However, even though he knew that there was a conspiracy, it was difficult to refuse.
Baron Terry's eyes locked on Lord Richard, and it was obvious that the Earl of Blue Mountain would be like this, most likely instigated by this lord.
"What are we waiting for? Cheers to the new baron, right? ”
Richard's soft laughter rang out.
He looked at Wu Ming and Terry below proudly, not afraid of the plan being discovered at all.
In any case, the Earl of the Blue Mountains was the feudal lord of these two after all, and being promoted to a hereditary baron and giving him a territory was a great grace for any knight.
'With the glory of nobility, if you are not satisfied, use the majesty of the lord to directly kill Knight William! ’
Richard's narrow eyes gleamed dangerously, and for a moment he was expecting William to resist.
"Thank you for your grace, my lord!"
But to his surprise, Wu Ming behaved very calmly and was not surprised.
"Good!"
Seeing William so obedient, the Earl of Blue Mountain finally let go of one thing in his heart, and immediately felt a little guilty.
But soon, thinking of the impending harvest and the endless wealth, he immediately extinguished that bit of guilt, and coughed at the same time: "In recognition of the great merits of Baron William, I will marry him a daughter!" ”
"Oh no!"
At this moment, a nobleman with a solemn face as water came in and said loudly.
"What are you talking about?"
The Earl of Blue Mountain looked at this nobleman with doubts on his face: "We are very good, we can't be better, don't you think Baron William is not worthy of such an honor?" Your Excellency Viscount Bale? ”
In this Blue Tiger Alliance, the Earl of Blue Mountain is naturally the commander, and it will be the turn of this Viscount Bale next.
In fact, even the blue-blooded alliance in the entire Wind Firefly Plain is dominated by the two of them, plus another viscount as the core, which can be regarded as the strongest blue-blooded three nobles.
"Let's postpone the celebration, in fact, we don't have much time left!"
Viscount Bale's face was solemn, holding up a piece of letterhead: "According to the latest information I have received, the Xiongshi family of the Highlands has sent their knights to attack Wuthering City!" ”
Syllable!
The words were like thunder.
There was silence in the tent at first, and then I don't know whose wine glass fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Richard's face turned pale and he looked at the Earl of Blue Mountain.
The Earl, who was still somewhat graceful at this time, laughed out loud and asked, "Bale, have you drunk too much rum?" How were the Highland Knights able to raid Wuthering City? Behind us, we are guarded by the Viscount of Eagle Castle and his loyal knights! ”
