Chapter 602: Slander

"Garcia killed a blue-blooded baron, and he'll pay for it!"

The Earl of Blue Mountain looked very ugly and swore an oath. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The noble generals behind him also looked solemn.

Even though the chaotic battles between the Wind Firefly Plains continued, there were very few nobles above the knight level who died in battle, even if there was no lion and tiger battle last time!

And now, at the beginning of the battle, a baron gave them a bloody revelation with his life, and this war has begun to be different!

In that case, why didn't you take advantage of the victory just now? ’

Wu Ming was silently slandered in his heart, but he also knew the rules among the nobles.

Even if the two armies are fighting, the other side takes the initiative to withdraw its troops, which means that the face is soft, and the truly personable nobles will leave them time to regroup.

The etiquette and habits of the nobility have long been integrated into all aspects of these ancient blue bloods.

For example, once a knight is defeated, as long as he surrenders his sword and armor, he will be treated as a prisoner, and no one is allowed to hurt or humiliate them, and even get preferential treatment in life.

The most important thing is that even if the army is defeated and surrounded, once the other party's lord wants to escape, no nobles and knights on his side can chase after him, which is a sign of respect for the lord.

Actually...... These seemingly cumbersome rules were all thought up by the blue-blooded nobles in order to avoid internal friction, but they took care of themselves and put on the labels of modesty, politeness, and so on...... In particular, even the descendants have been brainwashed! ’

Wu Ming looked at the Earl of Blue Mountain with some pity.

Obviously, the male master from the highlands, who was not a blue-blooded lineage of the same blood as him, would definitely make good use of this opportunity to leave an unforgettable lesson for the Earl.

Baron Grave has used his death to show the Earl of the Blue Mountains that this is not a civil war between the Blue Bloods, and it depends on when he will understand.

"My knight, William!"

The Earl of Blue Mountain took a deep breath, perhaps taking the Baron's death as an accident.

However, Grave's departure has left the cavalry without a command, which must be filled immediately.

Therefore, he didn't have much choice at all, and put the long sword on Wu Ming's shoulder: "I now appoint you as the commander of the cavalry, and this order will take effect immediately!" ”

Those who have always served as the commanders of aristocratic armies must have a knighthood.

For a knight, commanding five hundred cavalry is still slightly exceeded, and the eyes of some clear-eyed people looking at Wu Ming have lit up.

Because of this action, the Earl has already told the others that if there is no accident, and that this Sir William can maintain such bravery, after the war, he may be able to install the name of a baron.

In the eyes of the Earl of the Blue Mountains, a baronial title, plus a daughter, in exchange for William Wallace's allegiance and a large donation, was also quite a good deal.

It's a pity that Wu Ming's eyes are no longer just on the baron, he wants more!

"Thank you for your trust! I will take command of the Knights and fight the enemy bravely! ”

He smiled and replied succinctly.

……

The first day of fighting ended quickly.

Although the death of a baron cast a slight shadow over the day of the war, the Blue Tiger Banner gained the upper hand, but it was in plain sight.

After a moment of silence for the baron, the Earl of Blue Mountain immediately decided to hold a banquet with excitement, and rewarded the soldiers with a large amount of cured meat, salt, and white bread, preparing to crush the opposing army in one fell swoop the next day, and force Viscount Garcia to admit defeat.

Wu Ming looked at the Earl of Blue Mountain with a red face on his face, and secretly estimated that the other party might even think of the price that Viscount Garcia would pay, and even the toast at the cocktail party at the end of the war.

He returned to the camp tent, looked at the noisy barracks, and was silent.

"Your Excellency!"

A dark shadow stepped out of the shadows behind him in a low voice.

"I'm Clark, the liaison from the church!"

"I see the power of shadows in you......"

A glimmer of light flashed in Wu Ming's eyes, which instantly made Clark feel as if he was being stared at by ten tigers! No, even when he was alone, when he faced a litter of wolves with his bare hands, he had never been so helpless.

"Your Excellency!"

He saluted again, very respectfully: "The archbishop has sent me to accomplish anything you ask!" ”

"You're a good assassin, and I understand the archbishop's intentions, but it's not my way!"

Wu Ming shook his head.

At most, that shadow power allows Clark to move faster in the dark, hide more hidden, and go unnoticed.

If it is assassinated, it is possible to take the life of the Earl of Blue Mountain, but it is not worth it, even if the Earl of Blue Mountain dies, it will not be of much benefit to Wu Ming.

The most important thing is that anything, as long as it is done, will leave a trace.

For those who want to rule the entire Wind Firefly Plains as a king in the future, under the premise of having a choice, he is not willing to let his crown be stained with too many shadows.

"But you're a good liaison! Listen! ”

Wu Ming turned around, and the light in his eyes seemed to be about to pierce Clarke: "I need you to go back immediately, inform the archbishop of a few news, and pay close attention to the movements in the highlands!" ”

"Your will will be carried out!"

Clark bowed and retreated into the darkness, not knowing when he had left.

His body style is like a ghost and ghost to ordinary people, even if the knight can't find it, but under Wu Ming's perception and spiritual power, there is nothing to hide.

Even though he was ready to cooperate with the church, Wu Ming also kept a hand.

Just like now, if one day, Clark comes to assassinate him, it will be a terrible death.

"Ava!"

After Clark left, Wu Ming thought about it and called his servant again: "You go and invite Baron Terry, Baron Wilfer, and Lord Tana!" ”

These little nobles have now formed a small circle, although the relationship is far and near, but under the premise of protecting their own interests, they are still relatively close.

Sensing that a big change was imminent, Wu Ming began to try his best to win over the forces that leaned towards him.

……

Just when Wu Ming was negotiating with the two barons and dealing with Tana's black widow alone, in the center of the barracks, the Earl of Blue Mountain also did not rest.

The golden candlestick was covered with nine candles burning, and a large amount of wax oil almost covered the base.

The Earl of the Blue Mountains sat in a soft chair of rosewood, in front of a large amount of parchment and a jumble of seals.

The crow that carries the message hovers over the barracks at all times, leaving him with a lot of official business to deal with all the time.

Nearly 10,000 people had to be provided with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and in ancient times, this was simply a terrible disaster - not to mention the loss and collection, just to transport these supplies here, the consumption on the road was also several times.

Even so, the catastrophe will continue.

Fortunately, judging from today's signs, Viscount Garcia's strength is obviously invincible, perhaps he will wisely recognize the reality, as well as the kindness he has delivered, and choose to surrender with dignity tomorrow.

The Earl of Blue Mountain rubbed his brow a little worriedly, so that maybe when he returned to the territory, he would not see the expression of the treasurer who was about to hang himself.

"Lord Earl!"

At this moment, the tent was lifted, and another young nobleman entered.

He has a very neutral appearance, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, fair skin, and a little dressed, he is even more elegant and moving than some women.

And from the fact that he could enter the Earl's tent without going through it, we can see how 'intimate' his relationship with the Earl was.

Disturbed by his thoughts, the Earl of Blue Mountain frowned, but when he saw this nobleman, a smile still bloomed on his face: "Richard, you came just in time, I need your wisdom!" ”

This Richard Honorary Lord, not only a close friend of the Earl of the Blue Mountains, but also his brainchild.

"Lord Count, are you bothered by the aftermath of the war?"

Richard asked.

"Yes, even though Garcia is willing to pay a lot of land, they can't be turned into Kindron at once...... And once the war drags on, the financial situation of our territory will no longer be enough to support it......"

The Earl of Blue Mountain sighed helplessly.

"That's why you're trying to win over the Golden Knight?"

Richard smiled slyly: "I heard that the wealth of Carlos is more than the treasure trove of ten counts!" ”

"Haha...... Do you believe in this nonsense? ”

Although the Earl of Blue Mountain was laughing, there was already a glint in his eyes.

"IMHO!"

Lord Richard sneered in his heart, but his face showed worry: "Although William is a brave knight, his loyalty to you is far lower than that of other fiefdom knights......"

"But...... You also have to admit that of all my knights, he is also the most profitable and has contributed the most to me......"

The Earl of Blue Mountain twisted his body: "And...... He can wield a dragon's heart, and he has blue blood flowing from his body, and my little Edda is sixteen years old......"

"A daughter, and a baronial title, in exchange for all the wealth, that Sir William may not be reconciled......"

Hearing the Earl of Blue Mountain say this, Richard's heart was almost filled with jealousy.

Even if he was favored by the Earl of the Blue Mountains, he would only be a Lord of Honor, but that William, the filthy fellow who had risen from the commoners, was about to become a baron of high status and hereditary status, and he would also marry the daughter of an earl!

All this should not belong to him, but to me...... Richard Bilitz! ’

Richard roared in his heart, but his words were like juice in the teeth of a viper.

"Sir William's loyalty?"

Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, the Earl of Blue Mountain immediately began to hesitate.

After all, Wu Ming came from another world, and he lacked reverence for nobles, and this subtle attitude had been vaguely detected by the earl.
