Chapter 349: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

"What, the army of the Duchy of Saxony surrounded Göttingen?" When Han Xing heard this, he was shocked and said.

That's right, that's what Gerov brought to the table - the Duchy of Saxony is back! Paderborn has always been a disputed border between the Duchy of Hesse and the Duchy of Saxony, as mentioned earlier.

Although the actual owner of the territory was the Archbishop of Münster, the ordinary archbishops of the Holy Roman Empire were not really popular, and only the three electors of Trier, Mainz, and Cologne could sit back and relax, because they were qualified to elect the Holy Roman Emperor. This makes them one of the most sought-after figures in the entire empire!

And an ordinary archbishop like the Archbishop of Münster, caught between the emperor and the pope, is like a rat in a bellows - angry at both ends. In the context of the Holy Roman Empire, he could only turn a blind eye and watch the nobles encroach on his territory. (For more information on why the Bishop of Münster is so cowardly, see the related work: The Game of Ecclesiastical Power and Monarchy)

"That's right, Lord Count! Baron Bird has mobilized the nobles of Paderborn to defend Göttingen Castle! Before the Saxon army began to attack the city, Baron Bird sent me to find you, Lord Count! Based on the time, it's time for you to come back! Thankfully, I finally lived up to my mission! Gerov cried with joy.

"Damn the Duke of Saxony, am I a big cake? It's a person who wants to take a bite on me (shēn)! Wasn't that Duke of Saxony a babbling child? Han Xing asked in surprise.

"Certainly not the Duke of Saxony! Leading the army is his regent, his uncle, Sir Didrick Udonon! Gerov explained.

"If he is the uncle of the Duke of Saxony, isn't he the younger brother of the previous Duke of Saxony? Or the regent of the current Duke of Saxony? Aren't you afraid that he will rebel? According to the thinking of the people of the Celestial Empire, Han Xing instantly thought of this, (shēn) is an uncle, shouldn't he work hard to kill his nephew and remove obstacles for his superiority?

"Lord Earl, you are a first-generation reincarnation, and it's normal not to know this. It is true that this Sir Didric was indeed the younger brother of the previous duke, but as you can see, he was only a small knight, and although the Duchy of Saxony was a large duke in the empire, there were only five or six counts, one turnip and one pit. Moreover, many counts check and balance each other, and it is impossible to have a rebellion (qíng). Gerov cleared his throat and spoke.

Han Xing instantly understood when he heard this, this is also a major advantage of the European aristocratic feudal system - stability, if in the centralized system of the Celestial Empire, it is easy to appear the situation of power ministers, power (jiān), and great power (qíng), then under the European feudal system, this possibility (xìng) is infinitely close to 0. What's more, Sir Diderick is not even an earl, he has no money and no food, and rebellion is simply wishful thinking, even if he succeeds in sitting on the throne of the duke, he will not be recognized by the emperor.

"How many of them are there?" Han Xing then asked, this was the question he was most concerned about. There are many people and many people play, and there are few people and few people play.

"I think there are at least three thousand!" Gerov thought for a moment, seemed to be recalling, and then gave an approximate figure.

"Three thousand?" Han Xing smiled knowingly when he heard this number, only three thousand people are not worth mentioning at all, and the army that Han Xing has seen is at least tens of thousands.

If you have to choose between Paderborn and Ganquan Village, of course Han Xing will choose Göttingen, after all, the title of earl is bigger than that of knight, right? It's clear which is more important at a glance!

If he wanted to return to Paderborn, it would mean that Han Xing could no longer stay in Ganquan Village and waste time with Count Sāo. And the easiest way to get to Göttingen is by water! Just a few hours down the Lena River will be in Göttingen. Han Xing suddenly had an idea in his heart!

So, the next day, Count Na (sāo) saw this scene in front of him:

When the Na (sāo) army bathed in the bright morning sunshine and launched the siege again with great fanfare, they found that the entire white castle was quiet, even the gate was hidden, and the Na (sāo) army easily occupied the mansion of the lord of Ganquan Village, but found that it was empty. When they chased to the riverbank, all they saw was the vague sail shadows left by the Wolf and the Vostok.

Vostok.

"Lady Lilith, I hope you don't feel too upset, we'll be back!" Han Xing wanted to comfort the little woman who was dressed in black, staring at the blurred outline of Ganquan Village behind (shēn), her eyes were hazy with tears and she was sobbing. But he didn't know what to do, and he habitually wanted to pat her on the shoulder as a comfort, but at the moment when he was about to touch her, he hurriedly shrank back.

Because Han Xing suddenly remembered that it seemed that in the Middle Ages, the relationship between men and women was also relatively conservative, so that even the girl's ankles could not be casually exposed to men. Although the infinite world is so backward in the Middle Ages to a large extent because of the entry of the reincarnation aristocracy, the level of thought and technology is so backward in the Middle Ages, but no matter what, it is suspected of being indecent for a man to reach out and touch a little woman whose husband is not beside him!

"No, Lord Earl, don't worry about me, I'm stronger than you think! I'm not a little woman who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, I know that you are the Earl of Paderborn, and without Paderborn as a backing, Ganquan Village is nothing more than rootless duckweed, and it is only a matter of time before it is breached! Lady Lilith wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, hugged her daughter, the little girl Livilla, and smiled slightly, her eyes full of determination.

Han Xing also realized how resolute the woman in front of her was, even death could not make her compromise, she was so deeply aware of the righteousness, but it made Han Xing feel a little ashamed, so he changed the topic and said:

"By the way, I have good news for you, I think the next world, I can go to the world of Pirates of the Caribbean and look for your husband Sir Horst!"

"Thank you, Lord Count! You're such a good person, they always say that yellow-skinned people are devils, but you are the kindest person I've ever met in my life! Your mind is as white and flawless as an angel, without the slightest blemish! Caught off guard, Mrs. Lilith fell to her knees and burst into tears.

"Don't cry, that's what I'm supposed to do! What are you going to do with me? Han Xing couldn't see the woman crying, and was instantly at a loss by Mrs. Lilith's sudden attack, and wanted to help her up, but felt a little offended, like an ant on a (rè) pot.

"Well, Lyanna, Ashara, Mary, excuse me, everyone, can you help her up?" Han Xing immediately turned his attention for help to the people in the [Seaside District] who were eating melons and watching a good show. Now that he has returned to the infinite world, Han Xing is a serious "I am in charge of my territory", so there is no need to avoid others, and he simply released everyone in the [Seaside District].

Rhaegar gave Lyanna a look, and Lyanna playfully stuck out her tongue and came up to help Lady Lilith.

"Count Segaard, if it weren't for you, our mother and daughter would have been kicked out long ago! Or it will fall into the hands of that bastard Anton O'Neill and suffer all kinds of humiliation! You're willing to take risks with (shēn) to find out what happened to my husband! Your great kindness, our mother and daughter will remember it in our hearts! Lady Lilith said with eyes as red and swollen as peaches.

"Lady Lilith, you don't have to be so polite, I'm an idle person, even if I don't have your request, I'll go back to the world of qíng. Sir Horst's business (qíng) is nothing more than a gesture! Han Xing hurriedly said with relief.

Han Xing is not a master who is good at dealing with women, so much so that he ended up with tracheitis in the real world, of course, isn't there a good saying, "Those who are afraid of their wives are those who love their wives"? Han Xing deeply thought about this, so Han Xing still had to reiterate: I'm not afraid of my wife, I just can't bear to refuse her kindness········· (I believe you are a ghost, you have fallen to the point of hiding private money!) )

It was almost noon when the Vostok and the Wolf finally arrived at Göttingen. On the other side of the Lena River, there were soldiers of the Duchy of Saxony, and among the many flags, the most distinctive of them was the distinctive coat of arms of the Duchy of Saxony - yellow and black horizontal stripes, plus a green vine-like twill that extended from the top left to the bottom right.

At this moment, several shoddy ladders were twisted and twisted between the walls, the stone walls were nailed with dense arrows, and the rivers were filled with corpses, so that the gentle, crystal-clear Lena River was dyed from a turquoise blue to a terrible dark red. Under the city gates, a charred battering ram was quietly parked, and several equally unrecognizable corpses were scattered around.

Judging by the blue swallow heraldic flag on a white background still fluttering in the breeze at the head of the city, Göttingen is still holding on!

Han Xing's arrival seemed to be a shot in the arm for the defenders of the city, but it was completely different from the Saxon army outside the city, who were still very confused when they heard the earth-shattering cheers of the defenders in the city. But when they saw the tall ship (shēn) of the Vostok, with its dense, black muzzles, they were immediately frightened.

It's not that there are no people in the infinite world who use firearms, it's just that in the Western Kingdom, such weapons are not fashionable. There is a reason for all this, just like medicine, in the infinite world, the four major forces have their own characteristics. And when it comes to combat, it's the same.

The Xianxia system of the Eastern Dynasty can be said to be the strongest in individual combat effectiveness, and the Northern Federation has the highest level of science and technology, muskets, cannons, and airplanes, which belong to the scientific and technological system. Both the Southern Alliance and the Western Kingdom are based on magic, while the magic of the Western Kingdom is mainly restored, destroyed, and summoned, and the magic specialty of the Southern Alliance is mainly based on the increase of personal combat power, which is called specialty!

In fact, the Infinite World encourages the four major forces to form their own characteristics, and Han Xing has never tried to exchange modern firearms in the Western Kingdom. But if he tried, he would find that it was not possible to exchange modern firearms in the Western Kingdom, and it was only possible to exchange firearms in the special circumstances of the drama (qíng) world.

Of course, it is also possible that the infinite world hopes that the four major forces can unite and help each other, but from the current (qíng) situation, this beautiful hope has been disappointed!

This means that as a newcomer, you have obtained a firearm weapon in the trial, but after entering the infinite world, you will no longer be able to use it due to lack of ammunition. Eventually, he was forced to switch to medieval ranged weapons - bows, crossbows, javelins, or simply switch to melee combat like Han Xing.
