Chapter 34: The Reward (II)
Originally, the medieval territory was supposed to be a manor-style, but now, in fact, most of the territory has become a town-style - stone walls surround the fields, protecting everything.
This was the only option to cope with the war, and later, due to the large number of barren lands and the increase of wild beasts, the town also had the role of defending against wild beasts.
The tenants' houses, of course, were a combination of mud walls and roofs, and there was some small-scale trade, mostly barter, and secondarily small-scale trade between fiefdoms, especially salt and iron.
But at this moment, the horseshoe broke through the silence!
It is a very shabby small shop, which usually sells goods, and also sells the cheapest ale, which can also be seen as a bar.
Caseyton was sullen in it, he was a strong man, with a thick and short neck and an extremely strong body, he was a free man, his main livelihood was to go out hunting, he could wield a huge iron axe, he had great strength, and he had experience in hunting, so he often had a harvest, and when he sold his prey, he often came here for a drink.
In fact, there are only a few regulars like him in this hotel.
"One more drink, Bonie, why are you so sad? What's the matter? Kathedon asked for a full glass of wine and asked.
"The once-in-a-decade war is about to start again, and the lord will collect heavy taxes, oops, now, more than a year's savings are gone, and I want to save more flour!" Bony is the owner of the shop, inherited his father's fortune, and is now in his twenties.
Hearing this, Casidon was silent, took a big sip, and then slapped the table heavily, and said: "No way, it's a war every ten years, everyone has to contribute, if the group of crazy people in the dark break through the town, you know what will happen!" ”
"However, you really don't want to collect taxes, you can go to live outside the territory and become a homeless!"
During wars, villages and towns are often destroyed, some people are killed, some are taken in by other lords, and some people survive alone in the wilderness, of course, it is much more difficult to survive in the wilderness than in the town.
"I don't have the ability to survive in the wilderness, but once in ten years, we can't survive, but if anyone can defeat the Dark Earl, I'm willing to go bankrupt!"
"Nonsense, if I can defeat the Dark Earl, I will immediately become his soldier, and I can do it without money, but, for hundreds of years, no one has been able to do it." Cascedon drank it all in one gulp and placed the cup on the table sullenly.
At this moment, there was a "boom" outside, and there was an incomparably boiling sound, and then countless people ran.
"What are they doing?" The people in the store looked at each other.
"Good news, good news, Knight Hannett killed two dark knights and eliminated three hundred dark soldiers, do you know how many soldiers he only brought with him? Only two hundred with me! Moreover, the great Master Isardo Hag joined his ranks, and the Master said that he is our Savior! A man rushed in from outside, shouting loudly.
As soon as this statement was spoken, the entire bar immediately fell silent, and after a few short seconds, there was another roar of discussion.
Caseyton gasped slightly, stepped forward and asked, "Where did you get this news from?" ”
"It's true, it's true, the messengers have delivered the news to all directions, and they have invited the lords from all over the world to discuss how to counterattack the Dark Earl!" The man said with joy, his tone trembling.
At this moment, the bell in the territory rang, which would only ring when something big happened, adding a decisive bargaining chip to this news.
Cassedon was silent, asked for another drink, then drank it all in one gulp, dropped a silver coin, and got up to leave.
"Kathydon, there's extra money!"
"No, I'm going to see if there's really a savior, and if so, I'll be his soldier!" Kathedon said in a rough voice.
But after only a few steps, there were footsteps behind him: "Wait! ”
"What's wrong, Bonie?"
"I want to go with that, too!"
"You're crazy, can you hold a sword, or can you hold an axe? What are you going to do? ”
"I can settle accounts, I can read, I can take out all my grain and salt, and wine, and I have a great idea!"
"Huh, what's wrong?"
"What's the use of you going like this now, don't you have a connection with the homeless? If you lead a team to join the savior, you will be even more valued! Bony gasped.
"Well, Bonie, you're a good idea, I can gather twenty of them and go to the Savior together!" Caseyton cracked his mouth and laughed.
Displaced people survive in the wild, and naturally have considerable combat skills, and they are soldiers who are good at fighting when they are concentrated.
The news kept spreading, and everywhere the town went, the desperate crowds boiled as if they had seen the dawn of darkness, and many strong freedmen rushed to their destination with their weapons, and the outcasts scattered in the wilderness also rushed to the territory of Lycock.
At this time, Hannett, who has been regarded by many as the savior, is coming to Ellie Richcock's town.
"Heroes, heroes, heroes!" Wherever the cavalry went, the townsfolk flocked to them, and they all shone brightly and shouted with joy.
Tenants, merchants, soldiers, and even a few priests came out to greet him, and the whole family, whether it was the old man, or the child, or the woman, all cheered at him, and Fang Xin was the first to be in front, and under the knight's dress, he was even more heroic.
And the soldiers behind him are also straight, sharing the glory.
When I arrived at Ellie's residence, I was even more surprised, the entire field had been cleaned up, and when the cavalry came, Ellie Liecock even greeted her personally, she was wearing a gorgeous long dress, the long skirt was dragged to the ground, but the chest was very open, so that most of the snow-white breasts were exposed, and the tight waist made her show her exquisite and beautiful body curves.
Behind her, all the servants were dressed in new clothes, and the butler was also dressed in a black gown, with a straight face and a dignified expression.
Fang Xin turned over and dismounted, and made a half-kneeling salute: "Hannett Edin has returned victoriously, may you be happy!" ”
"Knight Hannett Edin, please, your victory, bring glory, I am in front of everyone today, divide my family badge in two, from today onwards, you are the hereditary Sir Hannett Edin Richcock!"
One question and one answer, simple and grand, followed by the cheers that soared to the sky.
Then, Fang Xin got up, stood up with Ellie, and waved to the people, his demeanor was calm and calm, without the slightest fear, as if everything was in hand.
This kind of free-spirited temperament made Ellie's eyes shine, and also made several young ladies behind her exclaim.
Fang Xin noticed it and asked in a low voice, "What are these?" ”
"The young ladies of our family and the small families in the neighborhood have all changed into new clothes today, especially to celebrate you, in a few days, all the nearby territories, all the noble ladies and ladies of the right year will come!" Ellie covered her mouth with a light fan and whispered reservedly.
These young ladies can only be regarded as beautiful at best, but they are all dressed in new clothes, and, like Ellie, they wear low-cut blouses, which expose their snow-white plump breasts, and even when they look over, their eyes are full of naked teasing and anticipation, and they turn to him from time to time.
Fang Xin immediately understood that this was the lord's reward for him, and it was also the baptism of his entry into the noble circle - a complete feast!
