The herald's unanswerable words made both Ellus and Evan smile.

Although Ellus is now the right-hand man of the current Earl of Middlesex, the Barony of Hull is the farthest away from the Earl's castle, and there is usually no urgent matter, and the Earl will not send the news by way.

In Aven's impression, except for every time there was a war, the earl would send someone to the barony to call his father, and at other times, he would basically not send someone to deliver the news quickly.

Is there going to be a war? The idea crossed Aven's mind, but it was quickly rejected, and now that it was summer, and the whole of England was busy farming, there would be no lord to recruit soldiers to start a war at this time. Even if there were really lords who wanted to go to war, no one would respond to the call.

"What's wrong?" Erruth said in a deep voice, as a former close friend and playmate of the Earl, he knew that only when the Count encountered something that could not be solved, he would ask him for help, so he was also laughed at by the Count as the captain of the fire.

......The herald scratched his head in embarrassment, which made Erlus and Evan even more confused, and the young herald in front of him forgot the words of the Earl?

"Lord Elruth, in fact, Lord Earl didn't tell me anything specifically, just told you to rush to the city of London immediately. The Earl also said that you don't have to take anything with you, but only your attendants and your son."

Elruth and Evan looked at each other, neither of them knowing what the Count was trying to do with such vague orders.

However, Ellus did not dare to take it lightly, and immediately turned his horse's head, returned to the castle to ask the old butler Morse to explain the matter, and then hurried towards the city of London with Evan and the guards.

Along the way, everyone tried to reduce their rest time as much as possible, and it only took three days for them to feel that the city of London was in a hurry, and there was no time to catch their breath, so Ellus took Aven straight to the lord's palace in the center of the city to report to the earl.

However, before he could enter the lord's mansion, Ayrus saw a man standing at the gate of the mansion who seemed to be very familiar, and when he approached it, it turned out to be the earl's eldest son, Seth Komer, but saw that the latter's face was full of anxiety, as if he was waiting for someone.

"Sit-sama, are you waiting......" Ellus asked, curiously.

When Seth saw Ayrus, he grabbed the latter's arm like a drowning man had hit driftwood, and said excitedly, "Baron Ayrus, you're finally here. If you don't come again, we'll all be guillotined by our father."

Ayrus was so shocked that he hurriedly asked what had happened, so much so that the Count was so angry.

After Seth's description, Ayrus and Aven finally understood, and it turned out that at some point, a group of bandits appeared in the south of the Countdom of Middlesex.

The reason why this group of people are called chivalrous bandits is because this group of bandits will distribute the looted things to the local poor people every time, which is quite a sense of robbing the rich and helping the poor, so that many people have also joined this group of bandits.

At first, the Count didn't care, and sent a small army to suppress it. After all, there are bandits and robbers every year, and there is no way to kill them all, even if they are all eliminated at a huge cost this year, new teams will emerge the next year.

But to everyone's surprise, this group of bandits not only did not escape, but completely routed the earl's army, captured many people, and the most infuriating thing was that this group of bandits asked the captives to bring a message to the earl, asking him to hand over the earl's position, and they no longer rebelled.

The Earl, who was furious, sent troops again, led by his baron, and as a result, this unlucky fellow wandered around the south of the territory for more than ten days, and did not even see the shadow of the enemy.

The baron, who had nothing to do, had to return with his troops, but was ambushed by the enemy on the way, and was defeated, and returned to the city of London almost alone.

The Earl was furious and threw the waste into the dungeon, preparing to behead it for public display in the future. After the failure of the first two suppressions, the Earl personally led the elite for the third time to quell the bandits, but the result was also in vain.

But as soon as the Earl had left, the bandits on the back foot robbed a manor and freed all the slaves.

As long as Ai Wen shook his head when he heard this, this practice of robbing the rich and helping the poor, and equalizing the land, the Eastern Peasant Rebel Army had to call it an expert when he heard it, and praised it by the way.

When Ellus heard this, he also understood how difficult this matter was, but in a short time, he didn't come up with any good solutions, and if the Earl asked, he really didn't know what to say.

Ayrus subconsciously looked at his son beside him, with the intelligence of this little guy, maybe he would figure out a way. Judging from his previous experience, if he led the army to suppress it, it was estimated that he would be the same as the Earl.

Ai Wen glanced at his father beside him, and saw that the latter was looking at him expectantly, and immediately knew that his father had not thought of any good way, and he needed to make a plan for himself.

"It's ......the same as before," Evan muttered, and then asked for a pen and paper from Seth, who was leading the way. Hearing Aven's request, Seth was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Ellus, and saw that the latter nodded slightly, so he ordered the attendant to take out a roll of parchment and a quill from the study and give it to Aven.

Evan took a pen and wrote a few lines of large letters on the parchment, and then rolled them up and gave them to his father, telling him that if the Earl asked, he should show him the parchment.

Ellus took the parchment, and his heart suddenly settled down a lot, although he didn't have time to read what Evan had written, but from his previous experience, most of them were words that he didn't understand.

Anyway, when the time comes, just let Ai Wen follow him, he will be responsible for fighting the battle and charging, he will be responsible for the rear to control the overall situation, and by the way, he will be his temporary adviser.

Seth looked at Evan in surprise, a little curious about what the young man in front of him could write in such a short period of time, and seeing that El Lus didn't even open the parchment, he went to see his father, obviously very confident in what Evan wrote.

With some confusion and some curiosity, Seth led Ayrus into the second floor of the Lord's Mansion, his father's office study. As for Aven, he did not follow him to the Earl, but stayed in the parlor on the first floor, drinking ale alone, waiting for the outcome of his father's deliberations.

As soon as Elruth and Seth reached the Earl's study, they heard the Count's angry scolding inside, and it was clear that someone had made the Count angry again. Seth looked at Ayrus with some embarrassment and knocked on the door, interrupting the voices inside.

"Father, my lords, Baron Ellus has arrived." Hearing that Ellus had arrived, the other barons in the room breathed a sigh of relief, and finally they didn't have to listen to the angry roar of their own count.

Morol Comerton, the only current Earl of Middlesex, stood up and hurriedly asked Seth to invite Ayrus in.

"Old friend, you've finally arrived. I've been in a mess lately." Morol said with a wry smile to Ellus as he looked at Seth, who was standing aside, who nodded, indicating that he had spoken to Baron Elluth.

"Lord Earl, I already know what's going on. I don't think it's that simple, this army seems suspicious to me, not like ordinary bandits." Elruth thought for a moment and said.

"Well, that's what I thought. Ordinary robbers and bandits don't have such a strong fighting force." Morol nodded, agreeing with Elruth's judgment.

This made the corners of the other barons in the room twitch in their eyes, and they muttered in their hearts, such a simple question is known to fools. "Is there anything you can do, old friend?" Morol looked expectantly at his most powerful friend and subordinate.

As Morol asked, several of the barons in the room turned their heads to look at Ellus with a complicated look in their eyes that was difficult for others to understand.

"Look, Lord Earl, the method is on parchment." Looking at the parchment handed by Ellus, except for Seth, Morol and several other barons all looked at Ellus in surprise.

But Morol reacted quickly, and he took the parchment, slowly spread it out, and read it carefully.

After a while, his face became extremely grotesque, his face was full of tears and laughter, as if he was inspired, and he looked thoughtful.

Looking at the look on the look of the Count of Morol, Elruth's heart trembled, and he was a little worried that his son had written something bad on the parchment. The other barons tried their best to restrain their facial expressions, but they could still see a look of schadenfreude in their eyes.

"Old friend, are you kidding me again?" Morol shook his head and gently placed the parchment on the table. Elrus panicked and hurriedly wanted to explain, but Morol didn't give him this opportunity, "Old friend, who wrote this kind of thing for you, please come and see me."

Ayrus subconsciously replied, it was written by himself." Morol glanced at his right-hand man angrily, with an expression that you and I were an idiot, "You wrote it, Elluth, you can't even write a name, you actually told me you wrote it." Ayrus was anxious, but he couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Seth on the side hurriedly said to Moror, "Father, this is written by Aven, the son of Baron Ellus, in the hall of the Lord's Palace, and it is also written with our family's pen and paper."

Morlor listened to his son's words, his expression became wonderful again, he picked up the parchment on the table and read it silently, and then looked at Ellus, who was standing in front of him a little confused, he didn't know what to say for a while, he shook his head for a long time, and looked at Seth, "Where is he, invite him immediately." I'm going to hear what he has to say."

At the end, Morol asked strangely, "Old friend, you can't write a single big word, how did you teach such a son, I really don't know what to say."

Seeing that Count Morol said this, Elrus didn't know how to explain it, so he could only step aside and wait for Evan to come up.

On the other side, Evan was sitting alone in the living room a little drowsy, and when he saw Seth coming over in a hurry, he knew that his father hadn't done anything, and he was a little speechless at the moment.

"Aven, my father, Count Morol, has asked you to go up. He's very interested in what you've written, and he wants to hear from you personally." Seth said politely.

Ai Wen subconsciously asked, "Strange, I remember that I wrote it very easy to understand, why doesn't Lord Count understand it, is it because he can't read words?"

…… Seth was crooked and nearly fainted, but he still stubbornly explained, "Maybe your father is more interested in you." Evan nodded, accepted the explanation, and followed Seth upstairs.

When he arrived at the study, Morol looked at Evan with some surprise, the little guy in front of him was obviously not an adult, and he could actually write such words?

However, out of caution, he didn't suspect anything, but casually asked, "Aven, I'm Morol Komer, Earl of Middlesex, and your father's lord. I read what you wrote, and I was curious to hear how you explained it."

Ai Wen glanced at the father who seemed to have been punished for doing something wrong not far away, and shook his head slightly.

"The enemy is clear and I am dark, so use tricks. Ten thousand taels of gold, free to win or lose. Taigong fishes, and those who wish take the bait. In fact, it is a strategy that I wrote based on the experience of the Earl before, and it is obvious that the enemy is not a simple bandit, but an elite army, as for which country's army, I guess it should be the army of the Kingdom of Kent, as for why they don't matter."

"Given the defeat in the previous two battles, we don't have the upper hand in a head-to-head battle, so using stratagem is the best way to go. In fact, as long as we carefully analyze the targets of the previous enemy, it is not difficult to conclude that this group of enemies will only attack three kinds of targets, the first is where we may store food, the second is our army alone in the suburbs, and the third is where we have money to get. In that case, the Earl may as well take care of the plan, as long as the enemy is hit, the Earl can completely annihilate the enemy."

"But what if the enemy just doesn't come?" One of the barons in the room couldn't help but ask. "Then find another way." Evan said calmly. When the baron who asked the question heard this answer, he subconsciously wanted to refute.

"It seems that this Baron has a better way than me, why don't the Earl leave this matter to this Baron and make a military order, if it can't be resolved within a month, behead it to the public?"

Aiwen's words shocked the baron, and he hurriedly argued, "You are doing this to the strongman, Earl......

"Since you can't solve it, shut up! Do you expect to use your saliva to repel the enemy?" Aivan's face sank, and his tone became more and more unkind.

Morol looked at Evan with interest, not caring if he scolded himself for his words.

Ellus also looked at his son with a shocked expression, in his impression, Evan had never shown such a domineering and stern side, and more often than not, he was careless.

"If you were to command the people in this room, what would you do?" Morlor's words shocked Baron Ichigan's heart, but the former's face was serious, and it didn't look like a joke.

Evan glanced at Morol in front of him, thought for a moment, and said calmly, "Lord Earl is worry-free, it may be a great ...... to act like this."

When Seth heard that Evan actually let himself participate in the action, his eyes were stunned, the corners of his mouth twitched, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he wanted to jump up and let his subordinates drag this guy out who didn't know how thick the sky was.

"It sounds like a good idea, but I don't know anything, so I'd like to ask Lord Evan for advice." Evan looked back and saw that it was Baron Palles, the smiling tiger, his eyes squinted slightly, and the murderous intent flashed in his heart, "I don't know what Lord Baron wants to ask."

"I don't know what Lord Evan is doing in this battle, can you tell me and wait. I'll wait for the escort." The meaning of Baron Parles's words, how could Aven not understand, but he did not delve into it.

"What do I do? Naturally, in the city of London, he ordered the slaughter of chickens and sheep, and prepared a feast, waiting for the victorious return of the Earl and the barons."

"Hmph, we're killing the enemy on the front line, you're at ease." The baron, who had been reprimanded by Aven before, said with a sneer at this time. "Why do I need to go there myself for such a trivial matter, or does the Baron mean that this is a matter, and the Earl can't handle it?" Evan shot back unceremoniously.

"Alright, now that you've figured out what you're going to do, let's do it. Speaking of which, I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, so I really miss it. Hahaha......"

Morol interrupted the confrontation with a smile and told the barons to prepare. Finally, he looked at Aven, "Little lion, you can stay in the city in peace. We'll go back as soon as we go. When the time comes, I will have something to ask you."

"Yes, everything is at the behest of the Earl......
