Chapter 98: Don't mind killing a little more
After a big war, it is clear that there will be a new distribution of interests.
Before the arrival of the Duke of Franconia, the person who could divide the cake in northern Saxony was naturally Otto.
And in Otto's hand, there happened to be such a sweet cake and a sharp table knife.
Whether it is someone who wants to eat cake or someone who wants to live, they can only listen to Otto's arrangement first.
And when the cake is divided and the people in the way are removed, everyone will become a new community of interests, even in the face of the Duke of Franconia, there is a certain amount of bargaining capital.
As Otto said, does it matter if you don't believe it?
Could it be that the Vikings really came over, and the Duke of Franconia would really hand over his men to the other side?
Just kidding, feudal obligations are relative.
The vassal provided the lord with obligations such as military service and taxes, while the lord was responsible for protecting the property of the vassal.
If the Duke of Franconia really wants to do this, he, the duke, will cease to be a duke in a minute.
That's why Otto had the audacity to concoct a lie that didn't seem to have much credibility, and he was sure that the Duke of Franconia wouldn't really do anything to him.
As for why he did this, of course, it was because he had made a great contribution to the Duke of Franconia this time, and if he hadn't shown a distancing relationship with the other party, how would he have lived when he returned to Swabia in the future.
The Duke of Franconia was not Otto's lord after all.
What's more, Otto has not forgotten that the Carolingian family's generation has lived the longest is the most vegetable Duke of Swabia.
Sometimes, it's not important whether you are strong or not, the key is to live a long time.
For example, an old thief in the East who swore by pointing at Luoshui was not absolutely ahead of his peers back then, but with his longevity and brazenness, he put his family on the throne.
But in terms of living a long time and being able to endure it, the two of them are still quite similar.
Given that the cold stove has been burned for so long, and the investment has been invested in the head of the Duke of Swabia, it is not a very good decision to change the court, and Otto can only use this method to show everyone a point.
You see, my relationship with the Duke of Franconia is like this, just to help, don't think about it.
Regardless of whether people are aware of this level or not, at least, Otto believes that the Duke of Franconia in front of him will not be ignorant.
Although the contact time was not long, Otto felt that the Duke of Franconia was not weak, and he was much higher than the Duke of Swabia anyway.
At least in the Duchy of Franconia, there are no powerful principalities like the Sighards.
Obviously, the Duke of Franconia realized something, frowned slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
"I believe in Count Otto's abilities, and since the results of the investigation are accepted by everyone, I have no problem.
Count Otto, Saxony is a beautiful place with better conditions than Alemania, so why not settle here? ”
"No, no, the nobles here hate me to death, I'm afraid I won't live long here."
"Haha, Count Otto laughed, the Saxons are afraid that you are too late, Saxony is not used to it, Franconia can also try."
"I think, it's a pity that I'm used to the mountains and rivers of Allgäu, and I really don't want to move, thank you Lord Duke for your love."
"It's a shame that the eagle should be soaring in the open sky, not frolicking in the treetops with sparrows."
"Soaring in the sky is certainly an eagle's desire, but taking care of the young eagles is also a must for the eagle, the treetops are low but safe, the sky is too high, the risk is too great."
"Where can't the eagle nest, the treetops are still too short."
“......”
Duke Franconia and Otto, you and I still can't talk about it.
Eventually, Franconia shook her head and left, dropping a word.
"In that case, I won't force it.
As a thank you for your contribution, I am going to give you a fiefdom of a county in Saxony, and you can see which of those counties in the west you like. ”
"El, which do you like?" Otto looked at his younger brother with a smile, couldn't help but reach out and touch the other party's head, and asked softly.
Otto was very satisfied with El's performance in this war.
With El at his current age, he can have such an excellent performance and have his own thinking and judgment on the battle situation, Otto feels that El must have great potential in the future.
The reason why Otto was able to transfer the black cauldron to the Saxon nobles so smoothly was also inseparable from El's caution in plundering the Vikings.
Eldu let the Saxons do it, and even the overseers were "allies", and the Franconian soldiers hid far behind.
This allowed Otto to take advantage of this to play and clear his "grievances" for El.
Although I have not heard of such a number one person as El in history, but now, El will definitely be as famous as him, and I don't know if Otto's education has played a role.
Moreover, Otto knew that as long as El grew up, he would definitely be a good helper for himself.
In these years, there are always a few cases of "brother nuclear tombs" like the Carolingian family, and the vast majority of cases brothers can be trusted.
Not to mention, Otto also has a system's favorability bonus.
"Brother, I don't want to stay so far away, I want to stay near the Allgao collar." El glanced at the map and frowned.
"Well, good!" Otto nodded and agreed with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, you just pick a random place, and then send someone to help you take care of it, more often, you can stay in the fiefdom of Allgäu.
To be honest, if you really want to leave me, I'm really reluctant. ”
El breathed a sigh of relief, a shy smile on his face.
"Brother! It's up to you to decide, I only have one small request. ”
"You say!"
"Can you stop beating me in the future, I think I'm going to be beaten up by you to be as stupid as you!"
"Smack!" A crisp slap sounded from El's head.
Obviously, Otto did not agree.
A few moments later, El's roar rang out in the room.
"Don't wait for me to grow up!"
El then left the room in a rage, and when the door opened, a figure walked into the room.
Count Werner couldn't help but look at Otto.
"Count Otto, be angry, Baron El is still a child, how can he always fight like this, what if it breaks."
That being said, the smile on his face clearly told Otto what he thought.
"Your Excellency the Count, don't make fun of me, by the way, has the Duke and those Saxons been negotiated?" Otto shook his head and smiled bitterly in response.
"Nope." When it came to business, Werner's face became much more serious, and his smile was retracted.
"I'm here today, that's what His Excellency Duke meant, and His Excellency Duke wants me to ask you for a little favor."
"Oh?" Otto raised an eyebrow. "I thought I was done helping, but now that the Duke has spoken, I wonder what's going on?"
"Count Otto, you don't mind killing some more Saxon nobles." Werner leaned into Otto's ear and whispered like a demon.
