Chapter 176: False Information
"Hahahaha, Gusbrook deserves to be my favorite guy, he really didn't disappoint me!"
At this time, Falt Castle was holding a banquet, attended by the Phaltburg Wiki warriors, the Wikipedian's characteristic high-spirited tunes were echoing, and bottles of beer were carried back and forth by the maids.
At this time, Count Grace, who was sitting on the throne of the lord, seemed to be very interested.
This is a very majestic man, he wears a crown of hair on his head, and gathers the hair that was originally a little scattered, and all kinds of precious stones are worn by him, which makes his whole person have a kind of luxury.
Of course, when you see his face, it feels a little disagreeable, as if you can't imagine a man wearing a woman's dress and dressing up in a fancy way, and you can't imagine the Earl of Grace wearing this ornament, and the tattered skin doesn't make people look good.
But no one paid attention to this, and at most their eyes would only rest on the treasure of Earl Grace, and sigh that the other party was really rich.
"The Sakyas have been subservient under the Earl's rule, and Gusbrook's secret letter has proved this, but now there is only a little mess, and the Earl will definitely settle them soon." The little nobleman on the side said flatteringly.
Hearing his words, although he knew that he was just a sycophant, Earl Grace was still in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing.
"Well, Gusbrook is doing very well, and I will definitely reward him well when I get rid of those traitors." Count Grace seemed to be in the mood for a drink, felt a little hot and dry, and moved his body to reveal his tanned skin and strong muscles.
"But Lord Earl, our enemies are not only those traitors, but also the heretic Earl, from Gusbrook's secret letter, we know that the other party should have a few hundred people, but it is not so easy to deal with." Another aristocrat of some age was not so optimistic.
Although he was telling the truth, it was like a basin of cold water poured on Earl Grace's body, making his face a little dissatisfied.
"Hadan, are you afraid? Afraid of the infidels who don't even dare to do anything to face a pig? I admit that they are quite numerous, but is it not true that we have a small army, and our warriors can let the cowardly Dillmans go to their God, and besides, has Gusbrook not made an agreement with us? From his secret letter, he also got the consent of their patriarch, and if they acted, we would win this war, and the infidels would surely die, and I would please the gods with their blood! Earl Grace looked sarcastic, as if the person sitting across from him was a coward.
"No, Lord Earl, I didn't mean that, you know, I've never been afraid of my enemies, I'll only make my enemies afraid, but I think we should make sure that nothing goes wrong, maybe we can send messengers to report to Haakon and wait for the king's reinforcements to arrive." Hadan looked a little embarrassed, but still insisted.
"Humph! Hadan, don't make excuses for your cowardice. Count Grace didn't care.
Hadan's expression was even more ugly, he had already scolded the other party in his heart, I don't know how many times.
This is a very stingy guy, there are a total of four castles on the West Beck plus the capital, and he alone controls four castles, it can be said that the entire West Beck is his direct territory, he is not willing to give his land to others, even if it is his own vassals, and his first group of vassals who follow him, his territory is not much.
Moreover, the Earl of Grace was very proud, and often did not pay attention to the advice of his courtiers.
"Okay Hadan, don't be nervous, don't forget, we have already sent a herald before, the king must also know about us, maybe the king's reinforcements are already on the way, but we don't need to wait, at first I thought they were tigers, but now I found out that they are just mice, catch mice, we don't need to wait until the king's army arrives." As if he felt that his words were a little excessive, and thinking that Hadan was the oldest group of courtiers after him, the expression on Count Grace's face softened a little, and he soothed.
Hearing what the other party said, Hadan had nothing else to say, raised his glass and drank it to himself.
However, Earl Grace was indeed right, they had indeed sent heralds, after all, they had only received news before, and Sibeck seemed to be targeted, and he had no idea in his heart, so he naturally wanted to move reinforcements.
But now, if the letter is true, then perhaps they are too nervous.
But they didn't know that their messenger had indeed reached Frida's side, and had indeed brought reinforcements, but had been stopped at sea.
And the so-called secret letter from Gursbrook in their hands is naturally also fake, and it was naturally fabricated by Carl himself.
Of course, Karl would not let go of such a good opportunity for Gursbrook to meet a traitor who can bring defeat to a war, but to meet a traitor who has been controlled, it can bring victory to the war.
"Lord Earl, do we really need to reduce our taxes on the Sakya, as Gusbrook said, after we have wiped out the enemy?" The other nobleman asked, seemingly curious.
His words immediately pricked up the ears of several Sakya slaves at the banquet who were in charge of pouring tea and handing out the water, they didn't know what was going on, but this one gave them hope.
"What stupid are you talking about? How is this possible, those lowly fellows only deserve to be our slaves, how could I spare them for this? And Gusbrook, why did he make a condition for me? Earl Grace scoffed.
The slaves lowered their heads in frustration when they heard this, but this loss did not last long, after all, they were used to slave things, and it was good to have hope, but it was not a big deal if there was no hope.
The nobleman who asked nodded as a matter of course, indeed, what qualifications did those slaves have to make conditions with them, even if they made some contributions to this war, it was also what they should do, and it was already a supreme honor for the Earl to give them some rewards.
"To the gods, to the king, cheers!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Earl Grace raised his wine glass and said loudly.
"Cheers!" The guests raised their glasses and chanted.
……
There was a lot of joy in the Falt Fort, but here in the Sakya village there was a lot of misery.
Although Gessbrook did not survive in the end, and was still executed by Karl's order, along with Hadauff, he did not expose the fact of their betrayal like the rest of the village, but instead covered them up by falling into the river and dying.
Because Karl didn't want to cause turmoil in the Sakya village because of Gusbrook's death, no matter how he was the patriarch of this village, he still had some status in the hearts of many older generations, and if even he betrayed, it would inevitably shake some people.
Even if that part of the people is not shaken by this, and if they see Karl not hesitate to kill the elders of the older generation, they will definitely feel dissatisfied with Karl as the future ruler, which is not what Karl wants.
If he can take Sibek in the future, the territory is so far away, he can't directly manage it, so the rule here will be very weak, he must make this place stable, and to make this place stable, he must make the aborigines here believe in him and sincerely support him.
Of course, if he could, Karl would definitely try to connect his realms, but that would take time and luck.
"The old man of Gusbrook has worked for our tribe for so many years, he has dedicated his life to this tribe, and now he is back with the gods, this is his glory, people, we need not be sad about it, we need to be honored for it." Facing the people with sad looks on their faces, Vicky was doing what he was supposed to do as a patriarch to pacify his people.
But what made Calgaard look at him was that he seemed to have some personal goods with the job, and he was taking the opportunity to promote something.
"The elder of the Gusbrook tribe once told me that I must lead the people to be free and no longer oppressed by those robbers, and he said that this kind of pain is enough for his generation to bear, and he wants our children and grandchildren to live happily in this ancestral land......"
Vicky's face was full of sadness, and even a few tears would be squeezed out from time to time, and those who don't know thought that he and Gersbrook had a deep relationship.
And this gesture did convince many clansmen of him, and even shed some tears from time to time as he spoke.
"And now we have reached the critical moment of the tribe, those robbers from the north, who have occupied our land for too long, they still enslave us, and make us suffer all the time, we have had enough of such things, we need to fulfill the last wish of Elder Gusbrook, fortunately we have help from our friends from the south, who is willing to help our tribe, let us be liberated in this life, so fight, my people, Only fighting can win us the future! ”
Vicky said passionately, his hands waving passionately, as if he was about to fight something.
"Fight! Fight! ”
The voices of the clansmen were like waves, one layer after another, which made Carl a little speechless.
He felt that he had underestimated Vicky, this guy was pulled to the next generation, and he was a big speaker.
