Chapter 303: Deno
Seeing that the other party had to show a flattering smile to himself, Luo Ming felt very happy.
Although this will definitely make the other party hold a grudge, which is a hidden danger, he is not afraid of this.
Hidden dangers are always based on their size, not their presence. If you can get more by taking on some hidden dangers, then it is worth it. As long as your strength is sufficient, you can suppress all hidden dangers, and this hidden danger will become smaller and smaller.
Now the strength in the hands of this baron is at most one-third of Luo Ming's, and he still has a little bit of backlash, but he must still have lingering palpitations recently, and he does not dare to rebel.
In a few years, maybe he will have other ideas, but he only has a barony, and he will be completely thrown off by Luo Ming's strength, and he won't be able to stir up any waves.
I haven't heard of a wise and martial viscount still need to beware of a cowardly and incompetent baron - besides, since Luo Ming has caught his handle, he will naturally not let him go free, and will definitely strengthen his control.
Returning from a circle around the outside with the three of them, Luo Ming informed the knights that he stumbled upon the three of them trapped in a small house, and there were monsters blocking the door outside, and he found them and rescued them.
Although there are many doubts, no one will question Luo Ming at present, after all, it is the most important thing for his lord to come back alive.
The knights immediately surrounded him, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.
"Gee, it really scared the hell out of me this time...... As soon as I got separated from everyone, I was targeted by monsters, but fortunately there was a hut next to it, alas......"
The baron's face was very unsightly, but combined with his words, it was easy to think that he had been frightened by a monster.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he said all the words that Luo Ming had just taught him: "I have never been good at martial arts, and I don't know much about military strategy, this time I have caused trouble for everyone, what should I do next time if His Excellency Luo Ming does not save me?"
The knights looked at each other. No matter what the truth is, let their lord be in danger, this is the truth, and they can't help but bow their heads.
"And Lord Lomin's army is strong, and his own territory is stable and stable, and I heard that the Baron of the Lowlands is sheltered there.
If I stay here any longer, I'll only add to the chaos, so I might as well go and live there for a while. My son, too, was only eleven years old and had no combat power, so he went there together. ”
As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the knight Luo Ming knew before: "Deno, I heard from Your Excellency Luo Ming that you were the first to kill the castle today, and you are full of courage, then you will temporarily be the regent of my territory."
And if His Excellency Luo Ming has any orders, he can just do it, and when it comes to fighting monsters, his experience is among the best in the whole county. ”
Without giving the knights any chance to interject, he stopped everything in front of Luo Ming.
The knights were reluctant to talk back to their own lord in front of Luo Ming, an outsider, after all, it was a very humiliating thing, and between these hesitations, the matter was already a foregone conclusion.
"Your Excellency Deno. ”
The others had been dispersed, and Lormin and the knight Deno, who had been appointed regent of the realm, were in the same room, discussing the next many things.
"Tomorrow at the latest, I will send instructors to train the militia here.
During this period, you have to work a little more and urge the people below to count the population, men, and money and food. ”
Luo Ming said: "And you won't be easy after this.
Your lord has promised to lend you to me for a while, and in the meantime you will have to take responsibility and cooperate with the officials I have sent to work on my new territory here—that's eighteen thousand acres.
If you're doing a good job, maybe I'll give you a fief for a third of it.
You have to be mentally prepared, tell me if you have any difficulties, and I will try to help solve them. ”
The "good" in his words also contains deep meaning.
Soon, Deno also understood what Luo Ming meant.
This regent status was actually half forced by Luo Ming to agree to the baron, and the baron would naturally be dissatisfied. If the calamity is over, the baron returns to the territory and takes back real power, which will naturally be detrimental to him as a regent.
There is only one way out for him, and that is to hug Luo Ming's thigh and help Luo Ming do what he asks him to do.
Naturally, then, Lormin could help him—although the baron was afraid of Lormin for some reason, it was enough to know the matter itself.
If Deno did a good enough job, Luo Ming might put the Baron under house arrest so that he could not come back for a while, or even if the Baron returned, he would not risk offending Luo Ming to attack Deno...... Even, even when the baron made up his mind to attack, Deno had a certain amount of resistance.
The baron ceded 18,000 acres of land to Luo Ming, and his own strength was damaged, and Luo Ming promised to give him one-third of it as a fief, then his own strength would swell a lot, and even if the baron insisted on starting regardless of Luo Ming's face, he might be able to take him in a short time.
After a long time, Luo Ming will come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
Deno quickly accepted the situation, and began to verbally express his loyalty to Lomin.
It's not that he's naturally rebellious, it's just that he's a little more wise than loyal.
Luo Ming's move was certainly a trap in his injustice, but it also made him have no way out even if he wanted to be loyal. On the other hand, it also gave him a chance to get rid of the mediocre lord and follow the wise lord to move forward together.
Seeing that the other party was really an interesting person, Luo Ming encouraged him a few more words,
"Hmph, what the hell. ”
The Count crumpled the letter in his hand, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it again.
"What's the matter?" asked the old retainer.
"It's just a boy who doesn't know the height of the sky...... It's ridiculous, a guy with low eyes and a low hand, actually talking nonsense to me. ”
The earl said disdainfully: "Three swordsmen, it's really a good strength, but what is it to me?
As he spoke, he turned over and got on his horse, obviously wearing heavy plate armor, but his skills were as vigorous as a young man.
And the size of the war horse was also surprisingly large, very strong, with a dozen wide armor plates draped on its body, and carrying a heavily armored knight, but it did not shake in the slightest.
Receiving the helmet and four-metre-long riding spear from the squire's hand, the count was quickly ready to stop.
Urging the horses under his seat, he galloped towards the large group of monsters in front of him.
They were followed by more than fifty cavalrymen. Among them, more than a dozen people not only wore plate armor all over their bodies, but even their war horses were covered with heavy armor pieces, and from a distance, they looked like a heavy hammer, smashing towards the enemy formation!
