One hundred and fifty of these soldiers were Teutonic mercenaries and Florentine. The rest were the soldiers of the territory brought by Count Gawain, all of whom were received by the second son, Oz.

Count Gawain was in a carriage, disguised as a wagon, with strips of cloth in his mouth and a constant drunken drink, and two lovers taking care of him.

On the fourth day, this armed force entered the most cathedral of Count Gawain's fiefdom, the place of God's blessing, and naturally there was no blood.

This church doesn't want to be muddled and closed.

But after a show of force and preparing to break the door, the priests walked out and agreed to accept Oz's leadership.

Here, Oz sent a message in his father's name, which fell like snowflakes on every village in the territory.

Count Gawain's territory had a population of 80,000, and was the weakest among the eight lords of Northern Italy.

Only 30% of the land directly under the jurisdiction of the country is under its jurisdiction, and about 40% of the population is actually under its jurisdiction.

Relatives, the church divided seventy percent of the land, sixty percent of the population.

However, there are still a few villages and towns in the direct jurisdiction, and they often do not collect taxes, all due to the weakness of Count Gawain.

With more than 500 people on the territory, Oz was determined to change that.

The main city had been taken by the coalition forces before, and after completing the handover ceremony, Oz couldn't wait to enter and bring the crown.

The court of the kingdom seemed a little empty, there were more stone pillars than people, not counting soldiers, only three knights were present, under the gaze of Bran, Oz immediately issued a "vassal recruitment order", whoever did not come, would be beaten.

The vassals replied, "This year, due to the recruitment of Count Gawain, which has seriously interfered with agricultural affairs, and I hope that I will not have to pay taxes, if this proposal is approved, then they are willing to come to the earl's succession ceremony......"

Oz agreed with two-thirds of the vassals to reply, and he was uncompromising with the rest.

This third is rude, corrupt, and kills the people for no reason. He is a traitor who threatens his rule.

They were all small nobles who did not have the support of the people, and as long as fifty people, they could easily take their land.

But one of the thirds, a nobleman, hearing the news, rushed to see Oz.

The nobleman didn't talk nonsense either, and said directly, "I'm rude, drunk, lustful, poaching, but I know I'm a good vassal of yours." ”

"How so?"

Oz waited for the next sentence, and if he was not satisfied, then the good vassal would be pulled out.

"I pay taxes every year, and last year I paid twice as much, and the bad vassals paid a duka, which was like killing them."

The sound of the coin caught his ears, and Ozzy was finally satisfied.

The vassal was right, but he paid taxes only because he had been very corrupt in the construction of his territory, such as overseeing the construction of monasteries.

However, looking at the list of the tributes paid by this man, Oz's anger was like a deflated ball, and it disappeared a lot.

The palace treasury is already empty, and if you really want to fight, it will be difficult to gnaw on this third.

Oz just separated the vassals first, and didn't let them all huddle.

These small vassals in the list of must-remove people came to beg for mercy one after another.

Ten days later, Bran set out with Oz to conquer the "vast village" of the rebels.

At this time, counting all the private soldiers of the lord who completely surrendered to himself, he could probably pull out more than a thousand people, but such soldiers, whose training and equipment were too poor, and there were disadvantages in the battle, they were crushed at the touch of a button, and it was enough to pick out 700 people.

The clerks of the new court began to write down the annals and personal histories of Oz, which would be stored in the palace library.

Chronicles - books that every nobleman will record in the past, and now that future generations must read intensively.

After arriving at the manor, the things that could be recorded became very scarce, and more than ten years later, Howard's experience only added two more pages.

On this day, Bran took a look at what the clerk had written.

"Every time the earl arrives in the land of a traitor, as long as he blows three trumpets, he kills 'rivers of blood'......"

All right...... This is the news released to the outside world and the literary creation of the readers, and the real situation is that every living human life falls, and immediately makes more than five companions lose their fighting spirit.

Once one or twenty people died in each village, they lost their resistance and received them smoothly.

Oz's eldest brother, Berke Casson, looked at it coldly, did not dare to send troops, and let the carpenters and blacksmiths work in this small castle where he lived, thickening it layer by layer.

The outside of the city walls was also painted with white cross paint. In this way, he thought, the enemy would not dare to mess around with the Holy See and God.

Useful...... There's a fart.

Oz successfully hanged ten notorious knights and squires to death, and then replenished the main vassals of the court.

The palace treasury, which was invisible, finally had something to support it.

At present, only his brother's territory remains, a lonely city, waiting for him to take it.

After that, he was looking for a hostess, he didn't have a wife, and he originally negotiated one, but the dowry asked for by the other party was too high, and this delay was three years. Oz was also glad that it didn't work out, and two years ago, the woman died in childbirth.

Lying in bed that night, Oz asked his lover to learn the voice of his brother and sister-in-law and read his name...... Sleep satisfied.

......

Originally, there were more than 100 people in the lonely city, but when Bran swept away, more than 30 people ran away.

If the battle is like this, there is no need to fight.

In the last battle, Oz only needs to surround for a few days and buy people's hearts to lock his brother in the convent, and as for Count Gawain, Bran doesn't know what will happen to him.

Choking on a sting while eating fish, or falling off a horse?

These are all "one of the normal ways to die" for nobles.

Normal way to die (tacitly).

Oz finally sent his father and brother into "history".

As the time approached November, Bran had improved his combat response a lot after this battle to destroy villages and towns.

He is also gradually not afraid of blood and riots.

An urgent letter from the Southern Manor, urging Bran to go back and officiate at the wedding.

The first victory, young and vigorous.

Bran was full of pride, and as he spoke to his men, his words began to change, moving towards a more unmistakable tone.

On the way, Carol also chatted with Bran about the Star Mercenary Group.

First talked about the difference between the formation technique and the staffing, and then talked about the young man named Friedrich, who was older than Bran, he was impressive.

Noble and rude, brave and philistine.

Bran did not succeed in subduing this person, and the price offered was ridiculed.

And he and another companion said that they could be redeemed, and the lord of Barcelona agreed, after all, the ransom was still very charming.

But Frederick was also afraid of reprisals, such as Count Never breaking one of his arms, and he asked the guards to tell Bran that the money would be taken away by Bran, and Bran would receive the ransom, and he would remember the kindness.

Since the guards had seen Bran and Frederick talking, they really went to tell him, and Bran thought about it.

Let the two of them follow him away.

During the Battle of the Village, Freitrick offered to follow his helpers, which also relieved Bran that he would not abandon his companions even if he was arrested for the sake of them.

The feeling of being with Freitrick is very special.

He is very assertive, and often thinks of himself, and in a short period of time, the two have also cultivated a tacit understanding.
