Zhou Mingyue also joined the battle at this time.

Let him fight to the death with the enemy and fight hard, he would never dare, but if he wanted to beat the water dogs, he was duty-bound and rushed to the first place.

Count Max was dumbfounded at this time.

What's going on? Where is this? What's wrong with you?

How could he, who originally had an absolute advantage, collapse in an instant?

I wanted to shout loudly to boost morale!

But it didn't work, and the knightly squires who followed him protected Count Max in an instant, pulling Count Max's horse and rushing out.

Fortunately, Viscount Hanks was good at capturing fighters, and found that Count Max's banner was rapidly retreating, and without any hesitation, he waved his right hand violently forward, and with his left hand lifted the iron spear hanging next to the saddle, and then rushed towards the enemy position.

Sure enough, the enemy formation collapsed at the first touch, and he was completely calm and relaxed before he was gone.

After a panic, Count Max was taken back to the castle by his knightly squire.

As the gate of the castle was slowly hoisted up by chains, he completely ignored his own soldiers who were still fighting fiercely outside the city!

As soon as the castle gates were hoisted, the soldiers who were still in complete resistance collapsed.

Count Max actually gave up on himself?

In this way, some soldiers who couldn't hold on naturally turned around and fled.

And Viscount Hanks was smiling from ear to ear.

The rapid change in the tide of the battle was definitely beyond his expectations.

However, Count Max fled back to the castle, which was a bit of a trick.

Thinking of this, the joy brought by the previous victory also quickly dissipated in Viscount Hanks's heart.

Of course, this is not too big a problem, a lonely city, no matter how majestic, will eventually be breached.

Viscount Hanks's side was naturally in pursuit at this time, sending five or six hundred men to keep watch on the castle, while the rest of the men and horses went to pursue the fleeing enemy.

During this period, Zhou Mingyue worked hardest.

One is to let Viscount Hanks fall into his favor, and the other is that those corpses can be used as resources! Especially the corpses above the knight, in the judgment of War Demon Workshop +, they are all advanced resources!

In addition, it is also very important to cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

But what made him a little dissatisfied was that when he led his men to capture the two barons and was about to cut off his head, the knight who caught up next to him stopped his behavior.

The reason is simple, the two barons were arrested and immediately shouted that they could pay the ransom.

Well, in this world, the defeat and capture of nobles and the defeat and capture of soldiers are two completely different endings.

The soldiers were defeated and captured, some were beheaded, some were sent to the mines to work to death, and some were sold into slavery, and there was no ransom at all.

But it's not the same if the nobles are defeated and captured, and the nobles can ransom themselves!

In fact, such situations are not uncommon.

For example, Viscount Hanks's grandfather was once captured on the battlefield, and the Hanks family paid 5,000 gold coins to redeem it!

This is one of the privileges of the nobility!

Even if the murderer violates the law, it can be replaced by a fine.

Of course, if you can't afford the ransom, you will be sold into slavery or beheaded, and you will not be able to complain to others.

However, due to the long marriage, the relationship between these nobles was complicated.

If you really want to discuss it, most of the nobles are related to each other.

Therefore, if you are defeated and captured, you can generally survive.

Zhou Mingyue was deeply critical of this.

But he is helpless, it is impossible to go against public order and good customs, right?

In that case, he would not only target these two barons, but all the nobles.

As for how much the ransom was, Zhou Mingyue didn't care, what he cared about was the knight's corpse.

Of course, the corpses of the two barons are missing, and the problem is not too big, after all, if the War Demon Workshop + wants to advance to Sequence 5, there are not a few advanced resources needed, and as far as the knight corpses are concerned, at least more than a hundred corpses are needed!

In other words, even if those two barons are killed, they won't be able to fill this hole for the time being.

After thinking about it, Zhou Mingyue did not join the pursuit, but turned around and returned to Max Castle.

Viscount Hanks happened to send a knight into the castle at this time to recruit him.

This is not surprising, for Viscount Hanks, although he has defeated Count Max's side, if he wants to break through this well-defended castle, the loss will not be small.

In such a situation, it is better to surrender the opponent, although in that case, the benefits obtained are far lower than breaking the castle, but the loss of your own strength will also be smaller.

In the Kingdom of Flor and even on this land, the strength of one's own strength is very important.

If Viscount Hanks loses too much, it is difficult to say that no other nobleman will covet him.

Looking at the knight who was sitting in the basket and being dragged up, Zhou Mingyue felt a little regretful.

If Viscount Hanks doesn't make a surrender choice, he may not be able to defeat the castle by sending a wyvern.

After all, there is no air defense in this castle, and it will be too difficult to deal with the Wyvern.

An hour later, the knight came down again in the basket.

He brought with him the terms of the armistice of Count Max.

Twelve villages were divided, and three small towns were given to Viscount Hanks at his disposal, while the captured nobles were to be redeemed by Count Max, but the total ransom should not exceed two thousand gold coins.

Regarding the terms of the armistice of Count Max, not only Viscount Hanks was not satisfied, but even the other nobles who participated in the war were not satisfied.

12 villages, 3 small towns are too few, not enough points at all.

You must know that there are 2 viscounts, 4 barons and more than 50 knights here, how do you say they are divided?

After some discussion, the knight named Teller ran to the castle, and once again sat on the basket and went up the city wall again, bringing a new armistice to Count Max.

The county of Max was divided into two-thirds, and Max Castle was abandoned, with a total ransom of 10,000 gold coins.

This was the terms of the armistice of Viscount Hanks.

Of course, in Count Max's opinion, this is nothing more than a lion's mouth.

10,000 gold coins is not a trivial matter, but can you abandon Max Castle and divide two-thirds of the territory?

Then you might as well kill me.

Soon, then, the Knight of Tellaire came down in a basket again, bringing with him a new armistice clause for Count Max.

One-fifth of the territory, that is, fifteen villages, five small towns.

Max Castle must be kept, as well as a ransom of three thousand gold coins.

In short, this is the bargain, you lion opens his mouth wide, I can only give less.
