"You're the commander here?" Meno gasped and asked.

"I am the son of Sir Dias, the commander here, and now I command you to lay down your arms and surrender!" Carl said again, the long sword in his hand leaning even tighter against the opponent's neck, and even faintly oozing blood.

Hearing that the other party was the son of a nobleman, Meno breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay to be a nobleman, at least they could save their lives, but he felt a little aggrieved, the fifteen knights on his side were actually defeated by dozens of unarmored light infantry, and it was a great shame to spread it.

Seeing that the other party hadn't moved yet, Carl's hand moved even tighter.

"Hiss......"

Meno felt a little pain, so he had to shout helplessly: "Knights, put down the weapons in your hands!" ”

With that, Meno released his right hand, and the sword fell to the ground with a dull sound.

The knights of Lorraine seemed to forget their struggle for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to obey Meno's orders, and dropped their swords one by one.

"Soldiers, take off their armor for me!" Karl ordered.

Suddenly, the soldiers screamed and removed the armor one by one and laid it aside, even Meno was not spared.

Karl brought them together, and the soldiers surrounded them, which was kind of controlled.

"Say, who are you?" Karl asked.

"We are knights of Lorraineburg, and I am Meno Carradi, a direct knight of Lord Earl, the commander here." Meno said.

"Very well, Sir Carradi, you have lost, and I declare you captured." Karl said proudly, thrusting his waist.

The soldiers around him erupted in deafening cheers, they didn't expect that their men would actually defeat a group of knights.

Seeing the cheering crowd, Meno smiled bitterly, and the knights around him were probably the same, everyone with bitter faces on their faces.

"Mr. Karl, although I am very reluctant to admit it, we did lose, but I ask that we be treated fairly!" Meno couldn't help but say.

"Of course, Sir Carradi, I will not harm your lives, and I will give you the treatment you deserve, of course, all this requires you to pay a ransom." Carl said.

Hearing the other party's demand for ransom, Meno and the knights of Lorraine were relieved, this was already the best outcome, and it was more important than anything else to redeem their lives.

As for swords and armor? No one mentioned it, they all knew that they couldn't even get back the war horse, it had become the other party's trophy and the "glory" of the other party.

"Don't worry, Mr. Karl, we will pay the ransom, but please release one of us and let him go back to Lorraine to bring us the ransom." Meno suggested.

"Of course, Sir Carradi, well...... Then you go, you go back. Karl gestured to a knight behind the group, who was clearly unharmed.

"You can get your horse back, go and get back." Carl said.

"Thank you, Mr. Karl." The knight was overjoyed, and it was a blessing in misfortune to be able to get the horse back.

"Darren, go back and bring us a ransom." Meno shouted suddenly.

Karl raised his eyebrows, but quickly regained his composure, and only glanced at Meno deeply, he was just why the other party suddenly called the knight's name, it was called to him.

Obviously, Meno didn't trust the other party very much, for fear that the other party would betray them, and let Carl know his name, so that the glory of the other party's family would be handed over to Carl, if Carl did not receive the ransom, then Darren's family would definitely be discredited.

Thinking of this, Carl also calmed down, and some of the things that curved the road couldn't be ignored.

Apparently Darren didn't understand Meno's "sinister intentions", so he just nodded, made a promise, and rode away quickly.

"Mr. Karl, may I ask you a question?" After Darren left, Meno asked suddenly.

"What?" Carl didn't know why.

"I wonder how you managed to defeat us, why did our horse suddenly get out of control?" Meno asked.

Karl stopped just as he was about to speak, but just smiled and said, "Sir Cadilla, the reason why this is a secret weapon, as for what it is, I can't tell you." ”

"The secret weapon...... "Meno muttered, but he was relieved that he was even afraid of some kind of witchcraft, if not.

"Mr. Karl, it seems that you will receive an honor that has spread far and wide, and I congratulate you in advance." Meno shook his head and congratulated Karl, easing the mood between the two sides.

The knights of Lorraine bowed their heads, the honor of the other party was achieved by standing on them, and the honor of the other party was obtained, and it was obvious that they would be disgraced.

Karl smiled slightly, pointed to the soldiers around him, and said, "This is not just my honor, this is still their honor!" ”

The soldiers froze, and then erupted in amazing cheers again.

"Long live Lord Karl! Long live Lord Karl! ”

The faces of each of the light infantrymen were flushed, and their bodies trembled with excitement.

Meno watched this scene with his mouth wide open, and finally had to bow his head weakly, he suddenly felt a little frightened by the young man in front of him, and the other party used a sentence to mobilize the loyalty of his subordinates, and the momentum made him a little afraid.

"Losing to someone like this ......"

Meno didn't think any longer, the silence of the knights contrasted sharply with the cheers of the soldiers, and the bonfire slowly lit up, the light of the fire reflecting the faces of the soldiers......

……

"Oh my God, Carl, I still can't believe you've done such a thing." Sir Dias's family was in the station of Lensburg, Sir Dias looked at the chain mail and weapons hanging on the wall, his face was full of disbelief, and he knew that there were more than a dozen war horses in the stables outside, Sir Darren rode a war horse back, and another war horse ran away in the confusion I don't know where it went, and all the rest was brought back by Carl.

Karl smiled and didn't speak, because he knew that his father was just emotional, and didn't mean to let him answer.

"Carl, I have to admit that this time it's you, your stuff is very useful, I remember it called Za...... What's going on? Sir Dias said.

"Zama nails." Carl reminded.

"Yes, yes, it's this Zamartin, he's really a winning weapon." Sir Dias nodded, he was not a man with a small belly, and since Karl could rely on this kind of thing to achieve a big victory, he would naturally not be stingy with his praise.

It was then that Carl saw his brother Pine looking at the gear, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't.

Karl smiled knowingly and said, "Father, brother, you can pick a good set of equipment and bring it." ”

Pyne was overjoyed, but before he could move, Sir Dias stopped him.

"How can this be, Karl, this is your loot, how can we just go and claim them?" Sir Dias shook his head, the chivalry he held on to did not allow him to claim his son's spoils of war by virtue of his fatherhood.

"No, father, these equipment are to be used when they are obtained, and you put them all here with me, I can't use them for the time being, piled up here like garbage, it is better for you to use them to enhance the strength of our family, you know, you and Pine are going to the battlefield, a good armor and a complete set of excellent weapons are very important to you, and this is not what you ask me for, but my return to the family." Karl whispered.

"This ......," Sir Dias hesitated, he had to admit that Karl was right, that the family was in great need of these equipment, and that the equipment of the knights of Lorrainburg was far from being as good as the tattered chain mail they were wearing.

Sir Dias was still hesitating, but Pyne was not polite, and said with a big grin: "Carl, my brother, since you have said so, then I will take a set." ”

After Pyne finished speaking, he didn't wait for anyone else to respond, and walked straight to a set of armor that had already been favored by him, and couldn't wait to put it on, and the majestic knight appearance appeared in front of the two.

I have to say that wearing a well-equipped outfit does make people feel completely different, and Pyne is now imposing, which is much better than wearing the tattered chain mail before.

"Alas......" Seeing that his eldest son had put on the armor, Sir Dias sighed and found a suit of armor to put on.

"Go pick another horse." Karl suggested.

"Hmm." Sir Dias and Pyne nodded, Pyne said finely, as for Sir Dias, although he was a little hesitant, he also agreed, and he had already taken the beginning, and he didn't care about taking an extra war horse.

"Let's take the rest of the armor and swords and arm our soldiers." Karl suggested again.

The soldiers of the Dias family are too weak and have no equipment, if they can have elite equipment, their combat effectiveness can be improved a lot.

"Okay, but Carl, except for the equipment and horses on me and Pyne, we should borrow everything from you, and when you need to use it later, we will return it to you." Sir Dias said.

Karl smiled dumbly, but seeing Sir Dias's serious expression, he also knew that this was the bottom line that Sir Dias insisted on, so he nodded.

However, he was very satisfied with this arrangement in his heart, although he was happy to repay the family, but if the other party really accepted it all like this, he would still be a little unhappy in his heart.
