Chapter 83: First Arrival in Monseron City
The city of Monserlen, with several wooden barracks already built outside the city, was quickly completed by Moore after determining his own territory as a meeting point.
As a result of the day and night work, several people died of exhaustion.
For this reason, the lords of Montelon City have a lot of dissatisfaction and complaints about Mohr, but Moll can't care about his own lords at this time, if he can't win the next war, it is difficult to say whether the lord of Montselon City will be him in the future.
Claire came to the outside of the city, her eyes swept over several barracks outside the city, two of which were already hung with flags representing the insignia of noble families, and it was obvious that someone had arrived early.
Speaking of which, Claire's flag is also interesting. As the lowest rank of the nobility, generally speaking, knight families rarely have their own family crest, but their ancestors were also fortunate enough to be barons, so they still have their own banners, which are roughly similar to the combination of a sword and a lion.
Claire was naturally dissatisfied with this badge style, and after little Ivan asked, Claire made changes to the original family flag, and the sword and magic wand crossed diagonally styled it looked a bit similar to the combination of the Blue Star Hammer and Scythe in the previous life.
Changing the family badge is a big deal to change to other noble families, but now Claire's family is only him, and he is not famous, so naturally no one cares.
Of course, many people have also complained that the style of this badge is not good-looking, but Claire doesn't care at all, but despises their aesthetics a little. Just kidding, in the previous life in Blue Star, this is a banner that makes countless people excited to see it.
More had already learned the news of Claire's arrival with his army in advance, and at this time, he also took some knights and soldiers to take the initiative to greet Claire.
After the two met, Moore was enthusiastic and seemed very familiar.
"Oh, Baron Claire, you've finally arrived, and I'm much more relieved to have you here."
It's so much more reassuring, if I don't come, do you still suspect that I will take the opportunity to sneak up on you?
Claire complained in her heart, and responded enthusiastically with a smile on her face.
"Baron Moore is so polite, and he came to greet me, how can I afford it, I am really flattered."
"Huh." Moore had a smile on his face and introduced Claire to the people around him. "Baron Claire is modest, who doesn't know that you are a celebrity in front of Lord Earl, Lord Count is so optimistic about you, and you will soar in the future, maybe we will all need you to take care of it in the future."
Does Count Wright value it, Claire shook her head, and didn't bother to refute the rumors, if he explained that he had no special relationship with Count Wright, others would not believe it, but thought that he was playing tricks, since this is the case, let the other party guess blindly.
"Where, everyone is working for the Earl, there is no one who takes care of whom, we are all the blessings of the Earl." Claire doesn't explain, but doesn't want to be too high-profile either.
"Yes, yes, Baron Claire has a point, they are all for the Earl." Moore smiled heartily, took Claire's hand enthusiastically, and pointed to an empty barracks road not far away.
"Baron Claire, your army is stationed in that camp, rest assured, there is only your army over there."
Claire looked in the direction of Moore's finger, the camp was relatively close to the city of Monserlen, and there were no other camps around it to the west, so it could be seen that Moll still valued him.
However, Claire's heart moved, and she noticed a detail. Previously, Claire roughly counted the number of barracks, obviously not enough for each baron, just now Moore said that he was stationed alone, it seems that there are not many barons who can have a camp alone.
At the moment when this big enemy was present, Moore still had the heart to play this little trick, and Claire didn't know what to say.
As if to see what Claire was thinking, Moore added with a smile.
"Time is urgent, so I can only build a temporary camp for everyone to station. However, the barons have a good relationship with each other and are willing to travel together, so naturally they don't mind being stationed together. I also have a few friends, and they will be stationed in the city when the time comes, and they can barely settle everyone. ”
Moore's words seemed to be a reminder and a warning, and Claire realized some ways.
The relationship between the nobles is complicated, and even if they have the same enemies, it is impossible to truly achieve unity, and they will have the most basic defenses against each other.
Moore didn't worry about the unfamiliar barons entering the city to station, naturally there were also barons who didn't worry about being stationed with others, and some people wanted to huddle together to keep warm.
It's just that the baron stationed alone, to put it bluntly, is actually slightly embarrassed, which means that at least in the alliance, in the intricate aristocratic relations of Trois-Rivières, there is no one to trust.
This point, in fact, is still very important, but Claire has no way to change it in a short time, so she can only smile bitterly in her heart, at most, according to complaining that her ancestors are not working hard enough.
Claire nodded, and gave Norman and Bart a few words, and the two led the army to the camp, while the few remaining people followed Moore into the city.
As a nobleman, it is impossible for Moore to really arrange for the other barons to live outside the city, and it will be a loss of face if it is spread out, and it will be rumored in aristocratic circles that Moll does not understand etiquette.
Moore just arranged the barons' armies outside, and the henchmen and knights could naturally enjoy the treatment that belonged to the nobles.
Claire had already come to four barons, all of whom were closer to the city of Monselon than Claire, and one of them was stationed in the city with his army, along with Moore's army.
As is customary, after Claire came, a banquet was held in the city that night to welcome guests from afar.
Seeing the sumptuous dishes at the banquet, Claire couldn't help but sigh, she, a self-made man, was still far behind these real nobles, and every baron who came to Montelon City had to come to such a banquet, how much would it cost, after calculating the numbers, Claire was a little distressed, wouldn't it be nice to use these expenses to repair the infrastructure?
Claire was obviously not an aristocratic mindset, at least in the eyes of Moore and several other barons, Moore's actions were normal. Aristocrats, life is not extravagant, how can you be embarrassed to say that you are a nobleman?
At the banquet, Claire brought her small team to meet everyone one by one, and the eyes of others looking at Claire were also full of envy and awe.
Needless to say, envy must be due to rumors that Baron Wright values him.
As for respect, it's not for him, it's for Norman.
From the Baron David, who had a good relationship with Moore, Claire knew that Norman seemed to be a little famous in the mercenary circle, and his status in Trois-Rivières was not low.
Even Moore couldn't help but quietly exchange ears with Claire after drinking too much.
"What did it cost you to hire the Norman Chief?"
