"Lord Count, are you not prepared to take control of our territory and allow Otto of Aargau to encroach on our territory so brazenly?

Lord Earl, this is a provocation on the part of the Alakhor family, and it is clear that they want to go to war with us. ”

In the study of the Count of Bern, several nobles were complaining.

They were undoubtedly nobles under Bern who had been robbed of territory by Otto.

Grolle, Count of Bern at his desk, with silver hair, couldn't help but doze off while listening to the complaints of the vassals.

"Father... Father! Adar's voice rang out, waking up the Count of Bern.

"Huh?" The Count of Bern opened his cloudy eyes, looked at everyone in confusion, and asked softly. "Everywhere you go, well, I've heard it all, and it makes sense."

Seeing the state of the Earl of Bern, the nobles who were still chattering just now were disappointed, can the Earl's physical state still be counted on?

The nobles set their sights on Adar, the only son of the Count of Bern and his heir.

Adar also felt pressure in his heart as he faced the expectant gazes of the nobles. His father is too old to handle territorial affairs, and it is time for him to show his abilities in front of the nobles.

Adar took a deep breath and spoke softly:

"Father, the Allgau collar is a little aggressive, and now he dares to blatantly occupy our territory just by relying on commercial taxes to earn some money to expand his armaments, what he dares to do in the future, I don't dare to think about it at all.

Father, I feel like we have to do something! ”

"Huh?" The Earl of Bern shook his head, his eyes regained a lot of clarity, and then he stared at Adar and asked seriously.

"So, my son, what do you think we should do?"

"How?" Adar hesitated for a moment, then said slowly. "We should warn the Al Gauge to return the occupied territories, and then report to His Majesty the King for a ruling."

"Alas," the Count of Bern sighed faintly as he looked at his son, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that there was only such a son, I really didn't want to hand over the inheritance of the family to him.

"Do you think it's really useful for us to warn or ask Your Majesty to arbitrate?"

Adar said, he didn't know that these two ways were only symbolic and had no effect. However, if he was really asked to take the army to defend the interests of the vassals, he didn't dare.

If it weren't for the vassals making a lot of trouble, he wouldn't have bothered with this at all. Anyway, that Otto did not encroach on his own direct territory, it was all the land of some vassals, and it did not affect him to continue to live.

Seeing Adar's silence, the Count of Bern was even more disappointed in his heart, why could the Alacholf family produce an excellent heir like Otto, while the Grodunen family had to be handed over to a cowardly person.

He stood up tremblingly, his hands propped up on the table to ensure a standing posture.

I'm really old.

The Count of Bern stared at Adal and said in a stern voice.

"Adar, look up and look at me."

"Father." Adar met the gaze of the Count of Bern, and saw a rare light in the other party's eyes.

"Adar, my son, you have to remember that everything we have today was acquired by the ancestors of Grotonin in the war, and those who tried to escape the war will eventually be destroyed by the war.

Since the Alakhor family wants to go to war with us, then we should fight.

Now, I want you to gather all the vassals in your realm and inform the other clans of your clan to send them to help.

Remember, Adar, that if you want lasting peace, you must have the strength to win wars. Grab your sword and lead the warriors of the realm to tell the Alakhof family that the territory of Bern is inviolable.

The Grodonins, there are no cowards! ”

The words of the Count of Bern were generous and powerful, and the vassals present seemed to see the heroic Count who fought with the king in his youth when he was young.

"But father, there are 500 cavalry in Aargao!" Adar was still hesitant.

"What about five hundred cavalry, the terrain of Bern is not suitable for cavalry, if you don't fight because you are afraid of the strength of the enemy, what is the difference between it and a coward.

Go, my son, go and prove to the nobles of Bern that you are a worthy heir, and with your sword, to defend the glory of the House of Groudunen.

In this way, I can rest assured that everything in the family will be entrusted to you. ”

In the study, the nobles were already on their knees.

Facing the expectant gaze of the Count of Bern, Adar did not know whether it was the power of his father's love or the glorious domestic animal of the family's ancestors, but in the end he overcame the apprehension in his heart and gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Yes, Father! I will defend the glory of the Grotonin family to the death! ”

"Defend the glory of the Grodonin family to the death!" The nobles kneeling on the ground also shouted loudly.

"What? You say the Count of Bern is at war with us? Otto touched his ears in disbelief, suspecting that he had misheard.

"Yes, young master, this is a letter from Count Grold of Bern." Wade also took the letter in his hand speechlessly and handed it to Otto respectfully.

Otto took the letter and quickly skimmed through it, and sure enough, it was a war letter, asking Otto to find a time and place to settle the territorial dispute between the two sides in a "noble way".

This aristocratic way is naturally the kind of friendly war.

It's just that Otto still can't figure out who gave the Count of Bern the courage to challenge himself, Liang Jingru?

The news of his own recruitment has spread throughout Switzerland, okay, is this Count of Bern looking for death?

"Is Count Grolder insane? Or is it that his cowardly heir suddenly wants to prove his mettle? ”

Otto tossed the letter aside, a little helpless.

"I don't know, but it is said that the Earl of Bern has begun to assemble his vassals, and must be serious about fighting us.

Although the military strength of the Bern Territory is no longer comparable to ours, the two side branches of the Grotonen family still have a certain strength, presumably, this is also where their confidence lies. ”

Otto nodded, before expanding to the Berne Territory, he had learned all the relevant information, and the two side branches of the Grodunnin family, a count family and a baron family, still had strength.

It's just that the distance from Bern is really a bit far.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to quench the thirst of the near by far water, and if there is really any change, when the reinforcements arrive in Bern, I am afraid that the daylilies will be cold.

Otto didn't think about intercepting the other party's reinforcements or anything this time, so let him call someone. The Grodonning family was subdued at once, and the expansion in Switzerland was much smoother.

Besides, the other side has reinforcements, and Otto is not without them. Don't forget, the Alachollf family, in the Duchy of Swabia, also had a lot of land and vassals.

It's just right, let's pull it out to enhance the relationship, after I took power, I haven't seen the vassals of Schwaben yet.

Obviously, he didn't want to provoke the Count of Bern, but the other party took the initiative to send it to the door, in this case, he had to let the Grodunnin family act as the chicken, and let the church monkey see the strength of the Allgao collar.

"Okay, then promise to come down, let the other party pick the time and place, give them a little more time to prepare. The enemy is too weak, and there is no way to see the true strength of our territory now. ”
