Both sides of the army went up to rob their masters, and they almost fought.

Bran's sword had been pulled from Grusi's shoulder and tossed aside.

And Grussie's sword was stuck in the grass beside Bran.

Bran lay down and looked at the sky, and the geese that had just flown by suddenly turned back.

"Your Highness!"

When Desley and his men gathered around, Bran said, "Act." ”

Bran hides his strength and doesn't want these outsiders to know how powerful he is.

In this way, when encountering danger, you can be taken by surprise.

Grussey was visibly out of breath, and Bran struggled for a moment, then uttered a weak voice, "I won." ”

Now the group of Franks was frightened, and Gontrand wanted to leave, but he was wounded and put on a stretcher, and there were only a few of his men left, and there was nothing he could do in the face of the thousands of mountain people surrounded by iron barrels.

The mountain lord looked at each other, and in the end, it was the respected Siebene who decided.

After a thought flashed in Sibeon's heart, he went up to visit Bran, who was surrounded by Desley and the others, lying on a chair, and everyone did not allow Sibyrne to get too close.

"Congratulations on victory, you have proved that Gana is yours."

And in the tent, Gana heard the movement at this time and wanted to come out very much, but was stopped.

Her voice kept coming from inside the tent.

Bran didn't care, and looked at Sibene, "What a envy, Gurrissi is back in the arms of our Heavenly Father, and we don't know how long we will be in the suffering of the human world?" You say yes. ”

This made Sibair roll his eyes, but he was helpless.

After Grecian introduced the Duke of Franklyon's power, he never allowed any of the mountain lords to cross his own path.

So they can't talk to the Frankish forces.

Now that the person concerned is still dead, it is obvious that he can only lean to Bran, but the mountain lords do not want to be infamous for killing the Franks, for fear of reprisals.

After Sibain revealed this, Bran immediately said that he should ask all the mountain lords to come.

There were thousands of mountain lords, and Bran, who numbered no more than a hundred, was still under his own valley, and the host and guest were transposed.

Bran lay on a bench made out of the dwelling, and the other mountain lords sat on the grass.

The Franks were also handed over to Desley's men, brought over, and pressed behind the mountain lord.

"You can't do this to me," said Guntrand, "I am the Duke of Lyon...... And Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows that you have brutalized the people of the Empire like this, and the 'Frankish Dragoons' will step through you......"

After all, the family is big and the business is big, even if this is nonsense, all the mountain masters are panicking.

They looked at Bran and hoped that Bran would come out and take it.

Bran said in a pretended hurtful voice, "I look at the family crest on your body, you are one of the eight dukes of Franks, a vassal of the Duke of Lyon." ”

"Exactly! His Royal Highness the Duke, he ......"

Guntrand seized the time and said as much as he could.

Bran waited patiently for the annoying voice to end, and looked at Qiao Tan, "Kill him." ”

Qiao Tan was blinded by this, and Bran said, "The Charman family has always protected their own people to the end. You kill him, and you can be what you say in your letter (recognize me as a godfather). ”

The mountain lords didn't know what was in the letter, but when they saw Desley throw a sword and let Qiao Tan catch it, Qiao Tan showed a hint of panic.

"Your Highness, blatantly kill the Frankish envoy......"

Guntran saw that Qiao Tan didn't dare, and continued, "The Duke of Lyon has an army of 50,000!"

"Is it to count his daughter, and his daughter's daughter, and these legions of bastards?" Bran scoffed, "When I was in Rome, I looked at the archives of that year.

When the Duke of Lyon was excommunicated by Father Louio (II), he was pardoned only after five days of begging for five days in Saint-Benburg.

You're just a knight of the wicked, what kind of envoy are you?"

"Qiao Tan, my patience is limited." Bran added, and in the end, Qiao Tan made a move and directly cut off Guntran's head.

"You say, if the Duke of Lyon knew that his envoy had been beheaded by the Lord of the Mountain? Will you send troops?"

Bran changed his face again, and the frightened Qiao Tan immediately said, "Your Highness, don't tease me!"

"Don't be afraid, you have proven your loyalty, and after annexing the Nefer territory, you will bring your mountain people to the peninsula to be lords."

Then Bran looked at Sibein, "You are the most senior mountain lord in the valley, Gurrissi is dead, you are in charge, Leon is dragging it, it will be almost winter, the snow will close the valley, and his territory is not near the sea, if you want to climb the mountain to beat you, that is called looking for death."

You seal the northern exit, and leave only the narrow mountain road that you know to enter, and I will transport goods for you to spend the winter, and you can send me 3,000 mountain soldiers, and prepare them in one to two months. ”

After saying that, regardless of Shibern's reply, Bran looked at Bergman again, "Regardless of the past, what I set with you before is still like that, but don't let me doubt your cooperative attitude again." ”

Then there were the mountain lords who were loyal to Glossy, and Bran explained in unison, "What Glossy and the Duke of Lyon can give, I can give, and I can give what I dare not give."

After a few months, Barcelona is gone, and you will find that from northern Italy to the Alps, there will be a new world.

Simon's promise to you, fulfill it immediately, send a few people to Florence to get the money, or pick up the goods. ”

"However, Ashklay sent 20,000 troops into Northern Italy last time and made an order, and now he is the ruler of Northern Italy, will he be held accountable if he goes to war?"

There are mountain owners who are worried.

Now the first bow in the East China Sea, the prestige is too great.

"You don't have to worry about Byzantium, just listen to me.

Rest assured, I will not send Teutonic knights into the valley, and your Zurich mercenary regiment is still independent, but you will be hired by me.

You can help me defend the mountain and fight this war. ”

In addition to his arrogant attitude, Bran said that the conditions were not bad, and he killed Gurissy, and the mountain lords finally swore an oath together.

The so-called oath is only for the weak to be kept, and only for others to keep it.

Now give up, wait until Nefer is eliminated, and Northern Italy surrenders...... Then there is no need for a mountain owner.

Before leaving the camp, Bran exchanged views with the two counts and the envoys.

before he took people away.

On the way back, Bran broke his hand and was accompanied by a mountain girl, so he took a carriage instead.

Outside the carriage, Desley followed side by side.

The cloth tent in Bran's car was pulled open on the left and right.

The Mountain Maiden is obediently opposite Bran, with Desley on the left and Durham on the right.

"Your Highness, you haven't negotiated with the counts yet, why let them go?"

"It doesn't matter, if you fight, you will obey us, the four of them, scattered sand, dare not openly ally with me, and dare not rely on Nefer."

"Then let's pull two to balance two?" Desley proposed.

"I think we can pull one to balance the three, Quincchi doesn't want much, if his territory is integrated, it just expands the route of the march to the north, and now there are mountain soldiers, plus His Highness has expanded the army, and we have more than Never.

The three counts, knowing that now that Duke Nefer has been taught a lesson by Ashucle's 20,000-strong army, he has no funds to invite mercenaries to come, so he can only defend, and will not join his side, and when they see that Quentch has benefited, they will naturally come to seek an alliance. ”

This is what Durham proposed.

"I ask you, are there mountains on the peninsula?" Brandau.

"Mountain?"

The two didn't know what Bran wanted to say, but Desley was more clear and said, "Yes, the Alps in the north and the Aping Mountains in the middle, these two mountains are the largest, and the others are valleys of dozens of miles. ”

"Then let's look for printing paper raw materials, do we explore almost all the mountains on the peninsula?"

Bran threw out another question.

"Yes, every time you go to a place, you also ask to record the landscape and location, whether you find it or not."

"That's right, none of us ask for a northern Italian lord, since they don't have sincerity, then come by yourself, or all four of them support me, or not any of them."

The two didn't understand this, but Bran didn't continue.

Then the curtain was lowered, and the carriage moved forward.

Seeing that there was no one left, Gana leaned against Bran.

Bran hadn't promised her until now, and Gana had been waiting, but Bran had few words.

Occasionally touching her hair, her cheek, and said, "I'll let you live like that of a nobleman, but you have to be obedient." ”

On the way back, Bran also met a hundred people who had been temporarily recruited, as well as Alan and the countess.

Bran told them to go back to Bailey's castle together.

Bran then used Bailey as one of the temporary camps, and began to dispatch troops and issue various orders.

Not long after, rumors spread that the tavern was full of Florence and the Duchy of Barcelona, but the Duchy was in debt.

Then, Florence allied with the lords of Northern Italy to demand debts, Florence seized the goods destined for Barcelona, and Florence hired the Zurich mercenary group.

A month and a half after the alliance of the mountain lords, letters from Byzantium arrived.

This is what Bran was waiting for, and it was written that he knew about the request for Florence, and asked the imperial courtiers and lords under the protection of the empire to donate the church and pray for the emperor's recovery.

In short, ask Bran for money.

If you have money, you are allowed to ask for debts.

At the same time, there is another sentence in the letter, don't keep to yourself, that is, "obedient".

Get this warrant.

Bran moved his forces faster.

Every day, new Teutonic soldiers joined, and the mountain lords put together 3,000 men under pressure from the north, and Bran did not break his promise, and used the goods of the country to finance it, but then the country's finances were instantly facing a high line.

The subordinates were worried that they had not yet negotiated with the Earl of Northern Italy, and they still wanted more benefits, but they kept sending people to talk, but there was no result.

But when Hilde found out that Bran had moved his soldiers northwest of Florence, near the forests of the Aping Mountains, he read Bran's intentions.

After he became Bran's subordinate, he watched Bran do things day and night.

He guessed that Bran was more accurate than the others.

Once you enter the Yaping Mountains, you will go straight to the southern forests of Barcelona.

In search of raw materials, the mercenary group collected the mountainous geography of the peninsula.

At that time, he had not yet made friends with Nefer, and he was easily allowed to enter the forest south of Never to look for him.

That is to say, from the Aping Mountains to the southern territory of Nefer, it seems difficult to walk, but in fact there is a road!

Bran has been hiding from people.

I talked and talked with the lord of Northern Italy, in fact, as long as I made profits, I could talk about one or two, but Bran didn't let it.

The news was released that they were going to attack the north, but they drove their troops to the south.

Befriending Count Quentch and making everyone think that at least Bran would buy Quentch alone, and only march from the north after the negotiation was successful, is actually a hoax.

Now Nefer must have thought in his heart that the mountain soldiers are from the north, and the four counts of Northern Italy are also from the north, and all the pressure is on the north, as long as they stick to the north.

Besides, although Bran told everyone that he still couldn't get permission from Byzantium, after Hilde guessed Bran's intentions, he thought in his heart that Bran must have got it, which means that the war will start soon!

Maybe, it didn't even pass this winter, so it will only take less than half a year!

If the southern part of the Principality of Barcelona were directly rushed into by Bran's army, it would be a disaster of national destruction.

Everything Never has will disappear in a matter of days.

All.
