After the knight finished shouting, he looked at Zhang Zhongjun carefully, and shook his head very suspiciously: "It's not it? ”

Zhang Zhongjun was naturally very curious about the knight's words, if it was the Imperial World period, he would definitely shift his attention to this side regardless of it, chasing after this knight and asking what a French knight was.

But now, Zhang Zhongjun's attention is on the battlefield and on his own people, and he doesn't want to damage his people because of his own negligence.

Therefore, Zhang Zhongjun followed closely behind the nearly 100 cavalry, and behind him followed the 400 infantry.

The knight of Baron Allens, at this time, saw the quality of Zhang Zhongjun's mercenary group, and looked at Zhang Zhongjun's four hundred infantry, all of whom were wearing some worn-out clothes, and only a hundred people could hold an iron spear, and the others actually held bamboo spears as weapons, the knight couldn't help but shake his head.

But he didn't despise Zhang Zhongjun's mercenary group because of this, the equipment of the mercenary group is not even as good as that of peasant soldiers, this is actually a very normal thing, for the mercenary group, and even for all the forces, many times it needs some useless waste to stir up momentum.

I didn't see the two barons fighting, obviously they didn't need the little combat power of the peasant soldiers, but they still called thousands of peasant soldiers in the territory to participate in the battle? In addition to the unspoken rule that they should be the opponent's combat exploits, this is even more indispensable to increase the number of people, and it seems that there are many strong people on their side. Of course, if the battle is won, these peasant soldiers can still help the elite troops to plunder and occupy, otherwise they can't really rely on the elite troops to plunder a place, let alone occupy a place.

In fact, the knight of Baron Allens, now he is a little apprehensive, because he and Baron Allens hired this mercenary group with a life-saving mentality, so the price offered is incredibly rich.

But to be honest, the price was really casually offered, don't look at the bargaining, it was really said casually, didn't you see Baron Allens's thinking about signing the contract directly?

According to the market price of mercenaries, hiring mercenaries to protect Baron Allens from here and returning to the territory is very generous to give 1,000 gold coins.

Because after the defeat, even if Baron Allens is captured by Baron West, he will not be in the slightest danger to his life, let alone insulted, but will entertain Baron Allens with the treatment that Baron West himself enjoys, not only Baron, but all people with knightly status also enjoy the same level of captive treatment.

It can be said that when the time comes, apart from not being able to leave Baron West's castle, there is no difference between other enjoyment and staying in one's own territory.

And when the time comes to finalize the contract of defeat, you can still bargain, the highest price is 70% and the lowest price is 10%, and then you can be free to return to your own territory.

Therefore, defeat is not terrible, and the prisoners are not terrible, and it is a very generous reward to give a thousand gold coins for the mercenaries to escort back to the territory.

However, there is a problem with this, that is, Baron Allens will bear the reputation of being a captive, which does not matter in normal times, but once in the joint meeting of nobles, Baron Allens must be one rank lower than Baron West, and when encountering Baron West, he must give way first, unless the two will not meet.

And as long as Baron Allens does not capture Baron West to avenge this, this kind of respect must be maintained, otherwise not only can Baron West unconditionally raise troops to attack Baron Allens again, but other nobles will also be crooked on the side.

As for the fact that Mao would have such an insulting rule, it is said that this is an unspoken rule specially created to maintain the nobles' desire for victory.

Therefore, Baron Allens, who didn't want to bear this kind of insult, would directly offer a knight's remuneration without even thinking about it.

To be honest, this knight has a feeling of envy and jealousy for this reward, damn, just escorting the baron to leave the battlefield and return to the territory, he can actually get a knight's collar, it is really enviable and jealous, how much work and hard work he spent to get a knight's collar!

Of course, owning a knight does not necessarily make you a knight, it depends on your strength and whether you have a lord to accept. That's right, the knight's collar given in this state is just a reward, not a canonization, so it is impossible for Zhang Zhongjun to automatically become a knight of Baron Allens after getting the territory, but will only become a wild knight without a monarch.

As for the latter conditions, if the war is drawn, you will get three knights, and if you win a big victory, you will get one lord and ten knights, etc., it is really nonsense, because no one thinks that Baron West's side has a fight and has a comprehensive advantage, and Baron Allens's side can still turn defeat into victory.

However, when he saw that as soon as Zhang Zhongjun raised his hand, countless red arrows rained out, directly destroying the more than sixty archers of Baron West, and the knight trembled a little.

As a knight of Baron Allens's lineage, he certainly knew the state of Barony Allens' territory, and he also knew the state of Baron West's territory.

Let's put it this way, Baron West has won, and it is likely that he will cut off seventy percent of Baron Allens' territory, and if he intercedes and pleads, it will probably drop to the point of ceding sixty percent of his territory.

And how many of these sixty percent of the territory are there, twenty knights' domains, and one lord's territory. Remember, this is calculated for the entire Barony of Allens, including his vassals.

The knight's collar is the land that supports a fully armed knight, about 1,000 acres of fields, 50 farmers, 5 cows, 20 sheep, two ox carts, and a house that can live for 20 people. It must be cultivated farmland and a house where people can live, as well as a supporting farmer, tools, and livestock, and only when these are all in place can it be called a knight's domain.

And what is the difference between a lordship and a knight's county? A lordship must have a small castle that can accommodate 100 people, a minimum of 3,000 acres of farmland, 200 farmers, 20 cows, 200 sheep, ten ox carts, a horse-drawn carriage, and must also have a vineyard of 100 acres, more than 1,000 acres of forest, and a river channel with a length of more than 100 meters.

It can be said that Baron Allens, after deducting the knightly titles that have been divided among the knights under his command, he has fifteen knightly titles and two lorddoms.

And Baron Allens, who turned defeat into victory, could only cut off about 10% of Baron West's territory, that is, ten knightly titles and one lorddom.

As for why this is the case, it's not that there are too many nobles who will say good things to Baron West to please people, and Baron Allens can only cede Baron West's territory with the lowest cession conditions at most.

Then the result came, combined with the mercenary treaty signed before, the defeat turned into victory was the reward of one lord and ten knights, which is equivalent to saying that Baron Allens sacrificed so much, but all of them served this mercenary group!

How can this not make the knights who found out that Zhang Zhongjun and they were actually very likely to have the strength to turn defeat into victory were worried!
