Baron Nelly continued, "If you miss, the border mission to Swabia will be handed over to 'Becky Turner' in the future, and this royal banquet has received an order that the surrounding lands near our barony will be in the hands of Becky. ”

"On the way back to my redemption, I heard that he went out of the Florence tournament and finished in the last few places, but lost to the champion (Jack), and when he returned home, he boasted that he could fight." Frederick said.

"It's a scoundrel." The baron said, "This time Becky went on a pilgrimage to Rome, not only to compete in martial arts, but also to bring back a letter of greeting from the Pope to His Majesty, plus it has been a year since his wife passed away, and he is preparing to marry Ambonsai, so His Majesty has appointed him as the 'financial administrator', and if even the military power of the border is taken away by him, then we will be subject to Becky in the future." ”

This Becky Turner is the nobleman who bribed his opponent before the battle with Jack and used the Thorn of Light when he fought Jack.

After returning to the territory, Nelli raised all the forces in the general's territory, a total of 1,800 people.

Three days later, Count Becky arrived with a thousand more men to inspect his newly feuded territory.

This fertile land was originally a large county, but it was later divided, and Becky wanted to merge the two as he made his rounds.

He looked forward to the failure of Nelly's expedition this time, and then the border military was his final say.

Early in the morning, Becky's team came with him, along with the attendants of the palace minister, Kefusha Ampunsai, who came to oversee it.

Although Kefusha doesn't like Becky, a person who has always relied on the nobility of his family for a long time, and speaks rudely.

But he hates Nelly even more, and gets rid of the most troublesome opponent first, and then Becky, which is why he makes an alliance with Becky.

Including Hu Cong, Becky and his entourage are very rude with the personality of their master, and when they talk to the knights of the Nelly camp, they put on a big stand and are condescending.

Especially when this group of knights and nobles eats, they are open-mouthed, take wine when they see it, and defecate outside the tent when they are in a hurry.

They were loud and loud, and after a few hours, each with a hostile attitude.

Becky and Frederick also face each other, but neither of them greeted each other

A few generations later, the two are still related by blood.

Becky was born in the "Turner family", which was once one of the "five major public families" in Bavaria.

A decades ago, a "War of the Five Princes" allowed the "Leesch family" to rule the kingdom that now sits on the throne, that is, the "Leesch family" to which Frederick belongs, but the Turner family, which cannot be ignored, has always controlled the mines and large agricultural land in the country.

That night, Nelly received another grand reception and held a meeting the next day.

After the rendezvous, more than 2,000 men could be dispatched, and Nelly decided to adopt the tactics of light cavalry harassment and send mobile troops to attack along the border arteries.

Twelve days passed, and the results were remarkable.

However, it is impossible to enter the central fortress of the enemy as mentioned by the palace minister, and as time passes, the opponent gathers more and more troops, and even harassment becomes unfeasible.

Although Becky also got a little property, he didn't care about such a thing, and what he wanted more was border military power.

Born in a family with a longer history than today's royal family, the Lelesch family, Becky has always thought that he is a man who can become a king, and this time he colluded with the palace, which was also due to ambition.

On this day, Nelly gathered everyone again and prepared for a surprise battle.

Freitik didn't say a word at the meeting, and when the meeting was over, he grabbed Cardinai in a place where no one could see him, and the two disappeared.

……

"What are you looking for me for?"

"We're going to change course."

"What do you mean?"

"Gather troops, even if you are lucky enough to win the field battle, but the final outcome is the elite troops, all of which are lost. We play in two directions. ”

"Two directions?"

"I know, although there is a feud with Swabia, in fact, among the border lords on both sides, your Brayden family also has friends, and there is a Swabian border viscount......"

This man was the lord of thousands of soldiers who ruled the Swabian border.

It was a drunken time when Cardina said that he had a relationship with them.

After that time, Freitik began to pay attention to the border lords.

Cardinai motioned for Freitrick to continue.

"If you can't solve the problem, then you will solve the problem." Freitrick's entire row of teeth was exposed.

As a good friend, Cardina understands this kind of 'laughter', which is an emotional expression of Fiteri's desire to kill. Sometimes, when talking about the Ampunsai family, I will also show this smile.

"Someone who solves the problem? Kill the palace minister? He is the most important minister of the kingdom, and the army that can be dispatched exceeds 10,000...... Wait, you mean Becky?"

"Yes, you send scouts to the lord's territory, secretly send someone to report the location and layout of Becky's troops, and provide him with a door, so that he can attack, while we rob the other Swabian castles."

"Father won't say yes!"

"Cardinay, I remember two times when your father deliberately diverted soldiers from a village, and then the Swabian soldiers came, and I also participated in one battle, and the enemy had no control over our movements. Is this God's blessing? Obviously, it is not, but to raise the enemy so that its position on the border cannot be shaken, by the way, this is called 'raising the enemy and respecting oneself'. ”

Freitrick reminded Cardinai that his father was not so obedient to knightly character either.

Well, Cardina sighed.

Before his expedition, he teamed up with Frederick to add an herb mixed with wine to Nelly's diet, which numbized and weakened the body......

When Nelly was unable to mount and fight, command of the soldiers fell to a few of his cronies and his son, Cardina.

The scouts sent out were finally accompanied by Frederick.

After passing through several checkposts on the border, Freitik entered the Viscount's sphere of influence.

This viscount has been operating on the border for more than ten years and is familiar with the terrain, if it weren't for the fact that their family was on the wrong side in the inheritance of the Swabian royal family, they would not have been suppressed and have always been a viscount.

Frederick had found out before he came—this was a man of profit.

When he said the analysis of the stakes, the viscount readily agreed, and the business was sure to be profitable

Colleagues are used to sell, loyalty is only a slogan, and land and soldiers are the most practical.

Even more appropriate, the territory that Cardina was preparing to attack was an earldom with which he had always competed, and the weakness of the competitors was of great interest to him.

After doing this, Frederick took advantage of the rest time to get drunk with wine by a stream on the way back, and killed the other two fellow scouts, both of whom were killed with a single sword, and flashed quickly through the neck without a trace of pain.

Frederick washed and washed his sword and continued on his way.

A few days later, after the brigade led by Cardinai set out, they managed to evade the Swabian troops, forming a formation where you attack yours and I rob mine.

Becky wanted to sit back and enjoy his success, hiding in his new territory, with only a few dozen people accompanied by his female dependents, and when the Swabian White Deer Banner appeared, the gate was broken, and it was too late to run, and he was severely tortured that night.

And Cardinai also successfully captured an empty fortress, washed away the bad luck of the last defeat, and captured a lot of civilians, and when he wanted to retreat, he grabbed another handful.

Becky was captured, and the plan to break into the central fortress, Kefsha's plan to take Nelly's command could only be stopped, and negotiations with Count Becky of Swabia for redemption had to be carried out......

……

within the territory.

Looking at the full trophies, the Nellie who had passed the effect of the medicine, even his beard was trembling with anger, and his son dared to drug himself!

In front of him is his son Cardina.

Nelly approached the sword gate, and a crisp sound of sword drawing came out.

In the lord's room, the father angrily slashed his son with his sword.

This time it was a real sword, because his father occupied the door, Cardinai could not leave for a while, and when he dodged, he took the wine bottle on the table and threw it at his father, the wine spilled, and when his father closed his eyes briefly, Cardinai crashed into it like a bull.

I just wanted to take away my father's sword, but this collision, my father fell, and the corner of the table touched his head.

Then, Nelly's forehead was blood-red.

When he stood up, he touched the blood on his head, and when he wanted to vent his anger, he immediately became unsteady and collapsed again.

This lay down and never got up again.

Cardinai has become a killer!

The highest evil deed promulgated by the Holy See, Kadi did not know what to do.

Frederick waited impatiently outside the door and walked in.

The breathless head of the regiment, the bloodshot and trembling friend, in a few words, Frederick knew what had passed.

"How...... What...... Let's do it!"

"Wipe the blood clean and help the person to the bed......"

In this way, the baron lay on the bed, the blood was gone, but the wound on his forehead could not be removed, so he let him lie on his side, which looked like he was sleeping on his side, but under the pillow he was pressed down, it was red and frightening.

"Didn't we capture a lot of Swabian noble captives, let's just say that the baron summoned them, and as a result, these bastards took the opportunity to kill the baron, and you came forward to fight to avenge your father."

Cardina just trembled when he heard this, and didn't reply.

So Frederick took matters into his own hands, and he asked the butler to ask for someone to come, and replaced all the surrounding escort warriors with Cardina and trusted cronies.

It was not uncommon for nobles to receive noble captives, and as soon as the two Swabian knights were brought into the room, they were knocked unconscious.

Then there was laughter in the room, and the door was half-closed, so that some could be heard, but not very clearly, and the servants came to bring food.

Freitrick went to get it himself, and deliberately said, "The baron has a good time chatting with the Swabian knight, so there is no need to come in and disturb him." ”

Twice in a row, the servant knocked on the door a third time, and found that the door was wide open, so he looked out, and found Cardina and Frederick, each held down by one of them, and cried out in fright.

The baron, who had laughed just now, lay on the ground.

In the end, the two unlucky knights, before they knew what had happened, were unjustly hanged.

Freitrick hinted to the sober maid, "When you open the door, you see the Baron killed, followed by the two of them fighting the thugs......"

The maid explained the same to people.

Together with Cardinai's men, the castle has been besieged and all obeyed his orders.

There was no one to look for the maid who suddenly disappeared after that.

In this way, the incident was characterized as Baron Nelly did not go out due to injury, and his son Cardinai went to war on behalf of his father, and brought back two brave Swabian knights with wounded food, and brought two knights against justice with delicious hospitality, and even attacked the baron and his son, the injured father and son, and after a fierce battle, the baron was unfortunately killed......

Afterwards, as he watched his father's body enter the grave, Cardina fell to his knees and wept bitterly, and so did Frederick, the man who had been warm to some of his fathers last month, who had walked side by side with him last month, but this time he was gone.

It was customary for a new lord to come to power to the royal capital to meet the king and receive the king's new fiefdom ruling documents

But Cadi had a ghost in his patience and didn't dare to go at all. Even when you fall asleep, you have to light a candle.

Frederick asked him to confess to the priest of the realm to ease his guilt.

But this kind of evil thing really couldn't be spread outside, so Freitrick arranged to find a very young priest who lived in the countryside.

It took much reassurance that Cardinai believed the young priest.

In the dark room, separated by a wall, the confessor and the accused, with a black cloth on their heads, could not see their faces clearly--so that they could not see each other.

The candles flickered and flickered, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"Let's get started." When the young priest finished, Cardina did not speak.

"Confession is a sacrament, and we listen in place of the Father, in absolute secrecy......"

"Because of the Father...... I...... Sinners ......"

After a long confession, Cardina was relieved and set a date for his next confession.

When Frederick was left with the priest, the priest stepped out and saluted him.

He was not some orthodox priest, but a servant of Frederick, named Upp.

The eyebrows are eye-catching, like two thick pens, standing in line with the face.

Two years ago, fleeing from the Ampunsai family, he fled to a small church in disrepair in a poor village, minus his long hair, and shaved his eyebrows. Live a life of hardship.

This village is located on the mountainside, and it is difficult to pass, so there are no priests to come.

Born as an orthodox knight, Upp also studied in churches and monasteries, and was well versed in some of the theological scriptures. So, he imitated being persecuted by robbers and fled to the priest here, where he was welcomed by hundreds of villagers.

But the hand with the sword was not rusty, and while he was tidying up and destroying the church, he also led the villagers to defeat a bandit group of about 12 people.

Later, when he heard that Freitrick was under the protection of Baron Nelly, he went to the border to find Freitrick and began to correspond.

The wealth that Frederick earned in the mercenary group was also given to the local villagers through Upu, so Upu, a foreigner, became more and more respected by the villagers.

"Your Highness, do you want to?"

Upp asked, just now Freitrick was sitting in another room, and the two confessed to each other, and he heard it clearly.

"Stabilize Cardinai first, and dispel his foolish idea of announcing his guilt to the larger diocese."

Such a crime would be stripped of his title, and Freitrick came up with the idea of controlling Cardinai, so that he could use his force to rescue his eldest sister, who was suffering...... Of course, he will also repay this friend in the future, and when there is no enemy who can harm them, he will ask the Pope to exonerate him.

The doors and windows were obviously closed, and suddenly the wind came, and the two candles were extinguished, and only a little fire remained, and Upu knelt down in repentance, not saying a word, but he was also mentally afraid, and after pretending to be a priest, he committed many precepts.

But Frederick walked away from the embers with a candle, rekindled the light, and swung back to its place.

"If the fire is extinguished, if you order it again, whoever harms me will have to pay the price."
