Chapter 44 The Visitor
Naturally, there were attendants who rode over to call for people, and the three knights who had been ordained immediately rushed over and stood respectfully in front of the Pelisa Golden Horse. And Baron Fosa, who came out to greet him, was hung at the mouth of the suspension bridge a hundred meters away, and he didn't come, but he didn't come.
"Who are the wagons, and why are you here?" asked Pelisakin, his voice hoarse and hollow, like the wind passing through a hole in the rock.
The three knights looked at each other, and one of the eldest, the eldest, stepped forward to answer Pelisakin's question. It turned out that the carriage was the family of the three knights, and after Richard released them, the two knights escorted them to the town of Jovan. The knight in command of the standing army in Jovan did not know what to do, so he managed to collect a dozen wagons, sent his lieutenant with two hundred warriors, and escorted them to the baron's city, where Baron Fossa could deal with it.
Pelisakin nodded and said, "It turns out that the rumors I heard are all true. So, you two were captured by the invaders and released?"
"Yes! We would rather die than give in, and the invaders may have let us out because they needed someone to protect these noble ladies on their way back. Said a knight who had been captured.
"What about the other knights? I've heard of surrenders. Pelisakin asked.
"There were seven knights who were captured before and after, and one of them died of his wounds soon after. With the exception of the two of us, the other knights surrendered to the invaders. ”
Pelisakin nodded and said, "Very well, I understand." He suddenly raised his voice slightly, "Come on, grab the two of them!"
Several knights responded and pounced on the two knights. The knight was taken aback, and while struggling desperately, he shouted, "We are loyal to the temple and the baron!"
But under the knights brought by Pelisakin, the two knights were barely able to resist. One of the knights even struck them neatly on the back of the head, knocking them unconscious, so as not to disturb the baron with the screams of struggle. Baron Pelisakin is very fond of quiet.
"The people of the carriage were brought to the castle of Baron Fosa. Pelisakin commanded, and another small group of knights went over to take over the convoy and soldiers.
It was only then that Pelisakin looked at Fosa, instigated his horse, walked up to Fosa unhurriedly, turned over and dismounted, smiled and bowed his head lightly, and said, "Dear Baron Fosa, it seems that you have waited for a while?"
Fosa squeezed out a reluctant smile and said, "Of course not!" His posture was a little stiff, and Pelishakin's jaw was not even the shallowest aristocratic etiquette, and if he did the greeting of the nobles of the same rank, it would inevitably turn into the following posture.
Simply Pelisakin didn't seem to care about any etiquette, and his attention was no longer on Fosa, so he looked around, and said casually: "Very well, now please take me to your castle for a visit, and please arrange for these warriors behind me." I'll be in the castle for a while, and I'd like to see how you interrogate the prisoners. ”
"Prisoner?" said Baron Fossa was a little nonsense, as he didn't seem to have an interrogation on his agenda for today.
Pelisakin turned his head and stared into Fosa's eyes until the latter's forehead continued to sweat, and then he said slowly: "It's the prisoners of the fornicating intruders." ”
In an instant, Fosa's face became extremely ugly.
Two hours later, a semi-public trial took place in the chamber of the Baron's Castle. The trial was for two knights who had returned alive from the invaders, as well as three knight wives, seven knight mistresses, six knight adult daughters, and eleven minor children. As for the adult sons of the three knights, they had already been killed by Richard. In the aristocratic system, they are the main body of blood revenge in the future, and Richard does not want to let go of these few people who are destined to hate him for the rest of his life. As for his underage son, Richard didn't care about it, and he had no interest in killing children.
By the time these kids had grown up and had enough power, Richard had either grown to the point where they couldn't look up to him and had returned to Norland, or he had become a cloud of dust in the plane.
The interrogation was attended by prominent figures in the barony's domain, the two surviving knights were summoned to the castle by the fast horses, all the knights who could be found were present, and all the more important people in the harbor were present. There were dozens of people standing in the chamber.
The tall council chamber was dim and a little cold, and the flickering torch glow didn't add much light to it, but rather an eerie feel. In the center of the platform sat Baron Fosa, and Pelisagin changed into a dark black aristocratic dress, and sat comfortably in a high-backed chair next to Fosa, with his chin propped up in his hand, drowsy, and his eyes did not know where to fall.
The chamber was so quiet that even the women being interrogated did not dare to sob. Pelisatin enjoyed enough popularity in the aristocratic circles of the region, and everyone knew that Pelisakin liked to be quiet, and everyone knew that the consequences of disturbing Pelisagin were severe.
Baron Pelisagin was not only the number one warrior under the command of the Count of Galeon, but also the Count's own nephew, and there is a legend that he was actually the Count's illegitimate son. Therefore, despite all his eccentricities and bloodthirsty killing, Count Galeon still used him heavily. And from another point of view, even if he is not related to the earl by blood, the baron with fifteenth-level combat power is one of the few strong people in the entire Baiyan Principality, and the baron is still an excellent general.
There are two generals under the command of Count Galeon who are of the same level as Pelisakin, and there is also a strong man whose personal strength has reached the fifteenth level, and the strength of that strong man is even a little stronger than Pelisakin. However, the only one who could lead the army and fight was Pelisakin. Pelisakin was also the last person Baron Fossa wanted to see. In fact, it was precisely because of Pelisakin's peculiarity and strength that Baron Fossa could not afford to contend with him at all, let alone resist, even if he refused some obviously unreasonable demands. If Pelisakin was a normal person, then he would have been a viscount a long time ago.
Most of Pelisakin's demands were unreasonable and without warning, such as this trial. However, Baron Fosa was also aware of the consequences of not meeting his demands, as was a tragic example of the extermination of Baron Rulli five years earlier, after which the Count of Galeon only gave him a harsh reprimand and a heavy fine, while half of Baron Rulri's fief fell into Perisagin permanently.
Fossa listened to the statements of the two knights and the Lady of Sir Goyo with a blank expression, looked around at his men who were listening quietly, and finally looked at Pelisakin. The latter's half-open, half-closed eyes were constantly sweeping around the body of the interrogator, but they did not look at Fosa. Fosa finally knew that this was inevitable, gritted his teeth, pointed to the two knights, and said in a deep voice, "You guys...... Collusion with the invading devil, no quibbles, hang immediately!"
As soon as the verdict came out, there was an immediate uproar!
