Richelieu's drive relieved the squad leader.

Left with a of the people.

He will go back and tell his master.

His master was not Trump, the master of Burgundy, but Trumps's nobles.

It was Trumps' order that the men in the concentrated territory make weapons for the lords.

His master only used the subject to rob passing passengers and rob them of their money.

Throw people in jail and lock them up, and then threaten them to write letters to their families to send ransom money to ransom them.

Otherwise, they will be considered fugitives, put on shackles, and thrown to work with the villagers.

Recently, his master has also set his sights on the village that has lost its man,

Prepare to loot the food of these villages.

It's just that this thing can't come blatantly,

Therefore, these days, they are sent to rob passing merchants in the name of patrols.

While investigating the situation in the nearby villages, he was ready to arrange for someone to pretend to be a bandit and ransack the village.

Unexpectedly, today I kicked the iron plate.

In case this group of people pokes out what the master has done, the master will definitely be unlucky.

Even Mr. Trump will be out of luck!

Therefore, he had to hurry back and report to his master, so that he could make up his mind.

Whether to send troops to kill the gang in the middle of the road, or let them go.

Seeing the team leader leading people away, Nock also hurriedly urged Rod and Roger Feld to quickly pack their things.

At the same time, Finet, who was hiding among the villagers, also rushed back.

The group directly urged the carriage to leave the village.

"Quick, Roger Fett, quicker. At least before dark, leave the territory. ”

Nock urged.

Finet was puzzled: "Lord Lane, why are we running away?" With that cavalry alone,

It's not enough for the three of us to clean up. ”

Nock gave him a blank look and explained, "You know what, if this nobleman just forced the villagers to work for him,

That's just his private business. After all, the villagers are his subjects,

He could have made excuses afterwards that it was for the villagers to use their work to deduct their taxes.

But if he also kidnaps passengers, then he is committing a crime.

And if we have broken his crimes, if he does not want to be deprived of his nobility by the kingdom,

I'm going to send someone to shut us up!

Your strength is indeed good, and in this kind of rural place, you can be regarded as invincible.

But don't underestimate the personal armies of the nobility.

They are armies, they have strong crossbows, they have a large base of reinforcements.

Even if they borrowed the private armies of other nobles under the pretext of suppressing bandits.

As long as we don't have a chance to open our mouths to prove our identity,

They're more than capable of rounding us up!

So, don't underestimate any army. Even if their individual strength is low,

It's not something that can be matched by one person! Unless you have the strength of the saint level. ”

Finet was shocked by Nock's explanation.

"No, the nobles dare to be so crazy?"

This time, Richelieu was accosted.

"Don't underestimate the aristocracy. Although among the people, many people think that aristocrats are arrogant, mediocre, and incompetent.

Every day, I only know arrogance and domineering, drunk and dreaming of death.

But in fact, the aristocracy is far more self-disciplined, patient, and ambitious than you think.

Otherwise, the ruling class of the country would not be an aristocracy. Didn't you see that the king had to salute the nobles for three points!

Don't look at the territory of our Kingdom of Fran, which is very large. But if you look closely, you can see that

The so-called territory has actually been divided among the great nobles.

the Norman principalities in the north, the Breton in the northwest,

The Duchy of Bourbon, Uncle of His Majesty the King of the Middle Archduke of Bourbon,

The Duchy of Toulouse in the south, etc., is already autonomous.

It's just that they also recognize the existence of the royal family, pay taxes for the royal family,

Even if the interests are sufficient, they will still fight for the French royal family.

And today's Burgundian territory, which once belonged to the Kingdom of Burgundy, was subdued by the previous kings,

became the territory of the Kingdom of France, but the Burgundian lord Trump was ambitious,

He always wanted to make Burgundy independent as a duchy, so that he could become the Grand Duke of the Duchy.

Presumably, the marquis of Champagne was also under too much pressure, so she had to find Lane as bishop.

I want to use the power of the church to suppress the Trump in Burgundy.

Actually, if Burgundy is just like Brittany in the northwest,

It's just that if you set up a kingdom, there will be no problem at all, and His Majesty the King will not object.

The other lords would not object either.

But if he wants to establish a principality and become a grand duke, then there will be great resistance.

The kingdom is more or less a grand duke, and those grand dukes are not ancestors who have monstrous merits,

It is that they themselves have immortal merits.

But Burgundy is different, he is a count who surrendered and was crowned, and he still wants to become an archduke.

Climb to the heads of most of the nobles in the entire Francois aristocratic circle.

Naturally, the opposition was louder.

Therefore, it is normal for him to make small moves in private.

As for the Champagne Lord, it is said that the previous lord intended to establish the Earl Kingdom,

But he died unexpectedly, and he only had time to pass on the throne to his wife.

A female marquis, who is already conspicuous enough, who is willing to let her establish a kingdom,

Dominating yourself? Although those counts and viscounts were nominally under her jurisdiction,

But in fact, they are all under the orders of the royal family.

After all, no matter how cowardly the royal family is, it is still a royal family, which is much better than obeying a widow.

That's why Trump is eyeing champagne collars.

First, in addition to the champagne collar, there are strong enemies all around.

Don't look at the royal family, there is only a territory near Pali, but he dares to make a move against the royal family, and he is the first to not let him go,

It was the Bourbon Duke next door to him. Then there is Toulouse in the south.

Everyone wants to be king, but not everyone is qualified to be king.

After all, the royal family is orthodox recognized by the church, coupled with the intricate intricacies of the royal family.

No one is stupid enough to attack the royal family.

Unless ......"

Unless anything, no matter how stupid the people present were, understood what Richelieu had not finished.

Unless, the royal family is abandoned by the Church, someone will come out to compete for the throne and become the new king.

But if you don't get the support and approval of the church, your efforts will be in vain in the end.

No principality could stand up to the crusaders of the Church.

Not even the strongest Duchy of Prussia!

It has to be said that Nock and Richelieu's guess was accurate.

After the squad leader went back to report, the nobleman who learned that his crime had been exposed was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

Hundreds of private troops were mobilized on the spot, wanting to intercept and kill Nock and others.

But Nock and his party had already gone first, and they rode after them,

But in the end, he still didn't catch up with Nock and the others.

There is no way, this nobleman's territory is not large, and it only took Nock and the others less than two hours,

He fled from the lord's territory in a chariot.

The nobles did not dare to chase after them, otherwise they would enter other people's territory and cause misunderstanding among other nobles.

Without this little turmoil, Nock and his party resumed their smooth sailing trip again.

A week later, they finally arrived in the Duchy of Toulouse in the south,

Arrived in Gascony, south of Toulouse.

The Gasconies, known for their bravery and skillful warfare, are also notoriously reckless.

However, the situation on the mainland is now relatively stable.

The Kingdom of France was even more peaceful for many years.

The people of Gascony have also lived in peace and contentment, and have ceased to fight and kill.

Only some declining nobles still miss the glory of their ancestors.

Nock and his party entered the small town of Gascogne in the dust,

I plan to repair it for a few days and recover from fatigue before hitting the road.

For if they went any further, they would have to leave the territory of the kingdom of Farran and enter another kingdom.

When the time comes, I don't know the place well, and maybe there is a language barrier,

They can't stop preparing.

Nock and Richelieu discussed staying for five days.

Because they are not the farthest candidates from the Holy Court, compared to the Red Bull Kingdom in the west,

They still have plenty of time.

Although the Red Bull Kingdom is close to the Black Bull Kingdom, it still believes in the Holy Lord and supports the Church.

Only the Black Bull Kingdom relied on the steep terrain, and the Red Bull Kingdom stood in front to help maneuver.

to dare to support the Red Fire Cult against the Holy Church.

Compared with the Red Fire Cult, which believes in the god of fire, the natural sect that believes in the goddess of nature,

It's just a disease of ringworm and scabies, so it's not a cause for concern.

The topic is far away, let's get down to business.

On the first day of their stay in Gascony, Nock and the others rested in the hotel.

Meimei slept well, and the fatigue of the five of them finally dissipated a lot.

So, the five of them decided to go out for a walk.

Nock and Richelieu had a plan in mind.

Richelieu took Roger Fit to the church in the town, intending to get in touch with the priest here.

Nock took Rhodes to a nearby village with a church, intending to make a quiet situation.

If the priest or priest of the village church is able, Nock will poach people.

Along the way, Nock and Richelieu worked together in this way.

It is mainly the clergy of the city, who may not be able to look up to the champagne church.

Don't look at the champagne collar on the surface, but smart people know that the female lord can't stop the scene,

There are too many people underground.

Well-informed, you can even deduce that the champagne collar is in jeopardy.

Without foreign aid, it would be a matter of time before it was annexed by Burgundy.

Therefore, Nock asked Riche, who had the gimmick of a future cardinal, to stay in the city to deal with it.

He himself went to find those who had been excluded into the country, or who had volunteered to give themselves to the country.

These are the people who would be the right fit for Reims Cathedral.

However, Nock wasn't going to take Finnet with him and give him a holiday.

Send him out into town to gather information about the next stop.

Nock took Rhodes to the village where he heard about a church.
