In the blink of an eye, Lothar had approached the enemy two hundred meters away.

He could even clearly see the dirty, grease-filled, unkempt beard on the other man's face.

Black eyes, black hair and beard.

This is a Hungarian?

He slammed his horse's belly, and Nisaan's horse gradually turned from a slow trot to a furious charge.

There was the wind whistling in my ears and the sound of hooves rumbling.

At the moment when he was about to stagger with the enemy, the cavalry spear stabbed out, and the sharp tip of the spear pierced directly through the chest of the cavalryman on the left, and slammed it into the air.

The force of the impact made Lothar's arm tingle.

But he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

This light cavalryman, who only wore a jacket, not only was his weapons and equipment much worse than him, but his combat skills were also quite average, and he didn't seem to be a formidable opponent.

Blood flowed down the barrel of the gun.

Lothar discarded the lance and let it fall to the ground with the corpse of the dead horseman, drew his armed sword from the saddle, and swung it at the other horseman.

Knort.

The enemy's saber slashed at the shield, leaving only a shallow mark on it.

The two sides staggered.

Lothar turned his horse's head and charged at the cavalry again, but the man looked terrified at the sight of his companion's death in an instant.

only dared to swim on the sidelines, and did not dare to rush up to fight him again.

Lothar had no intention of chasing him, and even if the speed of Nisa'an's horse was higher than the weight of the opponent, it was still slightly better than the opponent's mount, but it still required a lot of horsepower to catch up with him.

And in his rear, there is a pranru, and he is not afraid of being stolen.

So, he pulled out the spear that had pierced the enemy's cavalry, left the cavalryman alone, and slowly ran towards the cavalry besieging the convoy.

The blood of the enemy did not make Lothar feel nervous.

There is also no fear and vomiting after the first murder described in the novel.

Instead, he felt a lot of excitement!

"Am I actually a pervert in my bones?"

Before they could get closer, the enemy split up two cavalry and ran towards Lothar.

Lothar's eyes were fixed on the oncoming enemy at high speed, and his crotch mount gradually accelerated from trot.

Finally, the two sides meet!

Click!

With a loud bang, the spear pierced through the opponent's shield.

The man was directly knocked out by the huge force of the overwhelming impact, but at the same time, the barrel of the white beech wooden riding gun also broke.

Lothar tossed his rifle and replaced it with an armed sword.

By this time, another cavalryman's attack had followed, it was a two-handed riding spear, which he blocked with his shield, and his wrist was numb.

He slashed his backhand sword at the opponent's skinned round shield, and the two stopped their horses and fell into hand-to-hand combat.

Lothar, who was far superior to his opponent in both strength and physical strength, quickly spotted a flaw and pierced his opponent's wrist with the tip of his sword, forcing him to give up the shield in his hand.

Immediately, he sliced his opponent's waist open with a backhand sword, and blood and internal organs gushed out, staining the brown hair of the mount under his crotch red.

A hearty feeling made Lothar want to let out a long howl.

For the first time, he realized: "So I'm so fierce!? ”

In the distance, the leader of the cavalry team looked at this scene coldly, whispered a word, and suddenly four more cavalrymen covered each other to meet him.

Undaunted, Lothar armed with a sword and shield, met the enemy.

…

The resistance of the convoy was tenacious, and the six knights and servants in front of the team, under the leadership of the Peacock Knight, launched an effective counterattack.

But the enemy was several times outnumbered by the knights, and in such an open area, the infantry sergeants could only provide limited fire support, and did not dare to rush out of the chariot formation and fight the enemy.

A bearded knight shouted, "Look, it's the righteous man who came to the rescue, he's a black bolt of lightning!" He's killed! Those four dog mongrels couldn't stop him at all! ”

Another knight showed a look of admiration: "It's really powerful, if you want me to see, this knight's martial arts can completely win the last Vienna Knight Competition." ”

There was a hint of joy on the face of the Peacock Knight: "Guys, it's time for us to launch a counterattack as well, so that this group of cavalry knows the gap between knights and cavalry!" ”

Six knights and servants lined up and rushed towards the enemy like steel knives.

Three heavily armored knights in the middle, and three lightly armed servants took cover, and they tucked their rifles under their armpits, using the standard rifle charging tactics.

The cavalry in front of them suddenly seemed to be devastated, and they were torn open.

Even the squires are professional sergeants who have undergone years of training, and their cooperation with their respective masters is very tacit.

The cavalry leader glanced back at Lothar, and the four cavalrymen who surrounded him were two more in the blink of an eye.

Where did this come from?

He weighed it and finally gave the order to retreat.

The cavalry departed as quickly as the tide receded, leaving behind only a dozen corpses and uncontrolled mounts pacing back and forth across the grassland.

The system's prompt sounds:

Congratulations on completing your first milestone: your first victory.

You get a regular quality gacha.

Lothar let out a sigh of relief, not in pursuit.

These cavalrymen were more like a group of nomads, with outdated equipment and backward tactics, and in any respect, it was difficult to compare with the knights who had undergone rigorous militarized training since childhood.

But there are enough ants to devour elephants.

A bearded knight squatted on the ground, carefully examined the corpses of the dead cavalrymen, and said in a deep voice: "It's the Magyars (another name for the Hungarians), most likely from the border jurisdiction. ”

The Peacock Knight roared angrily: "Damn Dashermail, you actually hired a group of Magyars to attack the Countess, I want to go to the Imperial Court and complain to His Majesty the Emperor about his crimes!" ”

Murder among nobles is really a common thing.

The reasons are bizarre.

However, it is most likely for the inheritance problem.

For example, if Lothar murders Otto, he will become the first heir to the county of Aargau, and it is difficult for ordinary people not to be tempted.

Lothar shook his head: "There is no evidence, I am afraid it is difficult to accuse a real earl, not to mention that he is still a vassal under the command of a duke." ”

Lothar knew of Daschermeier, Duke of Saxony in the North, a vassal under Henry the Lion.

Not all dukes had counts, and although dukes had higher titles than counts, counts were already mostly independent lords under the emperor's leadership in Greater Germania.

The so-called vassals of my vassals are not my vassals.

If an earl swears allegiance to the duke, he no longer has to fulfill his obligations to the emperor, and the emperor can only control the duke, and cannot bypass the duke to control his vassals.

The Peacock Knight greeted with a smile, he took off his helmet, revealing a long golden curly hair: "Thank you for your help, brave knight, you are from the Habsburgs, right?" I've seen your coat of arms. ”

Lothar also smiled: "That's right, I'm Lothar of Allgäu, and my father is the Count of Vilna, and I'm going to go south through the Austrian Frontier to the Holy Land by boat on the Adriatic Sea to participate in this round of crusades." ”

"Ahh It turns out that you are a great crusader! ”

The knights and squires were in awe.

A slave came running from the convoy and shouted, "Come with me, brave knight, in view of your bravery, the Countess will summon you." ”

Lothar did not refuse, turned over and jumped off his mount, and said to the Peacock Knight, "My squires are still behind, and it is good for them to wait here for me when they arrive." ”

Lothar was quickly led to the middle of the carriage.

There stood a noblewoman in a white linen dress and long hair with a shawl.

The noble lady smiled and said: "I know this coat of arms, I have a good friendship with the Count of Werner, who are you from the Habsburgs?" Otto, or Lothar? ”

"Yes, ma'am, I am the second son of Count Vilna, Lothar von Habsburg. ”

The Countess had a very charming voice and a good look, but if you look closely, you will find fine lines and dense freckles at the corners of her eyes.

She smiled and said: "I am Mariana from Augsburg, I am a widow, Dascher wants to occupy the territory of my dead husband, this attack does not need to be thought, I know that he planned it, and he is the only one who has close ties with several princes of Hungary." ”

"Come back with me, Lothar. Aargau is a poor place, but the warriors are fierce, and Augsburg, although rich, does not have a brave warrior like you, and the two of us should conclude an alliance and exchange what we have. ”

Lothar was a little puzzled and said, "Madame, you should go to my father for such a thing. ”

The countess was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Maybe what I said is not clear enough, I want you to be my husband and become the count of Augsburg." ”

"Frankly, this is a political marriage, and I need the strength of your family to support me against Dashermail."

Lothar frowned.

The Countess was a little puzzled: "What are you hesitating about?" For the second son of a family like you, if you marry a rich widow like me, you will immediately receive a large dowry, and you will inherit my domain and title, is it not what you dream of? ”

On the Continent, aristocratic widows were indeed in demand.

But...

Lothar chuckled, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I didn't mean to do that. If I really want to be a little white face who eats soft rice, I might as well go to Constantinople and win the favor of the empress. ”

After the death of Alexios, the first emperor of the Eastern Empire, his widow, Empress Lagaia, claimed to relinquish power when the crown prince came of age.

But it still made her a sweet spot in the eyes of all the nobles.

As long as anyone is favored by the empress, he can immediately soar.

"Phew, wishful thinking!"

The countess chirped: "If you want to fall in love with this rich woman, the heads of mercenaries and generals of military districts are simply too numerous to mention. Why are you? ”

Lothar grinned and said with a smile: "Ha, I have a good stomach, and I didn't plan to eat soft rice." ”

"Heh, you can think clearly, I have a good relationship with several electors, and your majesty does not have a crown prince today, if you want, I can even fight for you to inherit the throne."

The Countess's tone was a little unkind, she had many suitors, and she was willing to choose Lothar, firstly, because he was strong in martial arts and outstanding in appearance, but more often she wanted to use the power of the Habsburg family.

Although Count Vilna lived in Switzerland, he was not an unknown person in the empire, and he was appointed as the commander of the imperial army during the emperor's war of conquest against the Slavs.

"Succession to the throne?"

Lothar was silent.

The Great Germania Empire was aimed at the Holy Roman Empire in Lothar's previous life.

Voltaire's assessment of the HRE: "neither holy, nor Roman, nor imperial", is biased, but also plausible.

For example, Emperor Henry, who ruled the Hohenstaufen family in Greater Germania at that time, did not have much advantage over several great princes of the empire.

Although the territory of the Great Germania Empire during this period was vast, the emperor's income was probably less than one-tenth of that of the empress of the Eastern Empire.

You must know that the Eastern Empire has now declined to the point of not being true, the interior of Asia Minor has basically been completely lost, and the Bulgarians in the north have sometimes rebelled and sometimes plundered in the south.

The Peloponnian Peninsula was also plagued by Normans and North African pirates.

Rao was in this situation, the Eastern Empire was still far richer than Greater Germania.

Strong branches and weak stems have always been an important problem for Greater Germania.

However, the great Germania did not fall to the point where the Golden Seal Edict was promulgated, which clearly stipulated that the emperor was elected by the seven electors.

Although the electoral system is a tradition inherited from the tribal era, it is not yet deeply rooted and can be saved.

So the question is, do you want to eat this soft rice?
