"Although these people are enemy personnel, but they are different from whom, more importantly, they can operate cannons, although the knight is the protagonist, but for castles and the like, it is generally difficult to capture, if you subdue these people, in the subsequent conquest, there will be more siege weapons, and your credit will increase more, don't underestimate any strength, now your descendants are only twenty people, and soon it will become forty people, if you get the title, these people are your team. Of course, Wang Qinian can't say that it is to save the lives of this group of people.

"I see. Franklin is not a gentleman, he understood at once, and his heart was more eager for the title, and now he no longer takes the inheritance of the title to heart, as Wang Qinian said, the title comes from military merit.

If you become a baron, Count Lane can only have the right to divide the baron, if it is a viscount, you have to report to the marquis, and get the marquis's approval, but if you become a baron, you have your own private army, the highest upper realm is one hundred and fifty people, the viscount is five hundred, the earl is two thousand, and the marquis is eight thousand, the duke is thirty thousand people, of course, this refers to their own private soldiers, barons, etc. generally have a way to break through its limits, mainly to recruit knights, a knight can recruit his own arms, but not more than twenty people, not belonging to the baron's private soldiers.

At present, Franklin is a knight and can be armed with twenty people, and similarly, Raymond is a knight and can also be armed with twenty people, but although the knights in the middle and low ranks have this right, ordinary people will not use it, after all, it takes money to recruit private soldiers, and ordinary knights, if they do not have a title, although they are much richer than farmers, they can't afford to raise one or twenty people.

The rest of the road, did not encounter any situation, there are still twenty miles from Namibiburg, Wang Qinian asked Franklin to stop the team, rest for a while, send a dozen soldiers, in the horse's tail is a branch, these horses are still there, along the way, three battles, captured a number of horses.

As the smoke and dust rose and the troops moved forward, Baron Edmund looked back and said with emotion: "If you didn't know the truth, you would really think that there is a force of more than 1,000 people behind you." ”

The smoke and dust billowed all the way to Namibiburg, and soon they reached the woodland, which was only three or four miles away from the castle, not big, and the smoke and dust rose from behind the forest, as if a thousand troops had arrived, and as soon as Viscount Bill's scout appeared, Raymond took the crossbow from the soldier's hand, urged the horse forward, and fell off the horse where the crossbow sounded.

Only the horse ran back empty, Bill also saw the smoke and dust behind the forest, his brows were tightened, he didn't ask for reinforcements, who is this team?

In the middle of his hesitation, a team had appeared in front of the forest, and there were less than 100 people in the formation of the forest, but there was still a part of the team in the forest, and there was a lot of smoke and dust behind the forest, as if this was a vanguard force.

Can't wait, Viscount Bill rushed out of the team of a few knights, like a few sharp arrows, but hearing the sound of chanting, Betsy and Wang Qinian, one with fireballs, the other with ice arrows, although the magic is not big, the knight paused suddenly, pulled the horse's head, according to the convention, there are magicians in the opponent's army, and there are two, which proves that the other party is a large army.

At this moment, the military formation separated, and a cannon was launched, and with a bang, although it was a solid bullet, there were still two unlucky ghosts who ran into it, and the team was in chaos.

At this time, the people in the castle have seen the reinforcements arrive, there seem to be a lot of people and horses, so they rushed out of the castle, Viscount Bill saw that the general trend had gone, so he blew the horn, I can't help but say, Viscount Bill is a general, although unexpected, but the formation is neat, and he withdrew in turn, and retreated to the southwest.

Seeing that Viscount Bill retreated, there was a cheer in the castle, and Wang Qinian was also relieved, his hands really scared Viscount Bill, if he didn't care about it, he really didn't know how to clean it up.

Baron Edmund and Franklin also breathed a sigh of relief, and began to develop the castle, but there were only about a hundred people, including captives and the like, and the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

Count Lane personally went out to greet him, he wanted to see which big man saved him, and it was strange that there were only a hundred people who came.

Baron Edmund and Franklin dismounted, everyone also dismounted, Baron Edmund and Franklin knelt down on one knee, and the others also knelt down on one knee: "Edmund and his son Franklin are late to save the car, I hope the Earl will forgive me!"

Earl Ryan laughed and helped them up: "What are your crimes, can you work tirelessly, and return Bill as soon as you come, not only are you not guilty, but you also have great merit, by the way, who led the large army?"

"Your Excellency, there are no large troops. ”

"I see the smoke and dust behind the forest, how can there be no one?" Count Ryan did not believe.

"Back to Lord Earl, it is true that just us, the smoke and dust behind the forest is fake, the hypothetical caused by the horse-drawn branches, when we received the news that Lord Earl was trapped, there was no one around, and we had no choice but to think of this method, which is what Xiao'er remembered. Baron Edmund said that he was not polite, and took the credit for Wang Qinian's work to Franklin.

"What? only a hundred, strong! a hundred dare to come, so bold, so wise!" said Earl Lane.

"Seeing that the Earl is trapped, we should do whatever we should do. Baron Edmund said, Franklin was just about to say about Wang Qinian, Baron Edmund's eyes signaled, Wang Qinian sneered in his heart, but he also secretly pulled Franklin, shook his head gently, and signaled that he didn't have to make a sound, it was not that Wang Qinian was noble, but that Wang Qinian looked down on these merits at all, his pursuit was not fame and fortune in the world, a soul is an earthling, this can still be seen clearly, besides, a baron.

Earl Ryan laughed and said, "Those who have meritorious service will definitely be rewarded." ”

"Lord Earl, Xiao'er led the army for twenty this time, and he was supposed to arrive first, but he won two battles on the way, and because of the prisoner problem, he was dragged down, come on, bring the prisoner up. Baron Edmund commanded.

The soldiers escorted Baron Eden and several knights up, and when they saw that it was Baron Eden, Earl Ryan laughed again: "It turned out to be you, you took advantage of Bill's siege of me, led the army deep into my territory to rob, I didn't expect it to fall into my hands, Franklin, well done, this is your captive, you collect the ransom, don't be polite, squeeze more, he has money." ”

Franklin ordered the soldiers to escort them down, and Count Lane said: "Edmund, Franklin, you have a great credit, and my Lane has clear rewards and punishments, kneel down and listen to the fief: Baron Edmund's fief is added to one layer, and Franklin is made a baron, and the fief is ten miles." ”

The two knelt on one knee, Count Ryan held a big sword, pressed on the top of their heads in turn, and the two swore an oath: "We are willing to serve Ryan as the master, the creator is above, and we swear allegiance to Count Ryan!"

"Arise, we have common enemies and common interests, remember your oaths. Earl Ryan said.

Looking at the person behind him: "Ladies and gentlemen, Ryan is a meritorious person, tonight, a welcome banquet for Edmund and Baron Franklin was held at the castle. ”

The people behind him congratulated one after another, Friedrich couldn't help but be jealous in his eyes, and said hello to him with a reluctant smile, Betsy and Raymond were really happy, Betsy was even more happy, and his eyes were full of brilliance, after everyone congratulated, Sir Franklin grabbed Wang Qinian's hand: "Thanks to Mr., I will live up to Mr., whether Mr. wants a knight or not, I can make Mr. a knight." ”

Wang Qinian smiled and said: "This is not necessary, your goal has been initially achieved, remember, you now have a knighthood, your stepmother and younger siblings will not do right with you, and there will be no assassination in the future, brother and brother, you still have many things in the future, the more strength, the more certainty, the baron has just started, treat your people well, treat your soldiers well." As for me, you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Will Sir abandon me?" Franklin panicked.

"I'm a free man, besides, I'm not a blessing to you, I said before, I'll help you this time, I'll leave sooner or later. Wang Qinian said lightly.

Seeing that persuasion was fruitless, Franklin said, "Since Sir is leaving, I'd better wait a few days, I don't have anything else, the gold coins are more tacky, but I have no other way to express them, Sir, wait a few days, wait for me to accumulate some gold coins for Sir." ”

Wang Qinian did not refuse, he is not a saint. In the evening, the luxurious banquet also invited Wang Qinian to participate, Wang Qinian participated in a meeting, they were two people from the world, the banquet was very luxurious, but the people in it were talking nonsense, Wang Qinian walked out quietly after a while.

The soldiers outside are also partying, and there are even groups of prostitutes in pairs, and they and merchants are following the army, which is really strange, even though the two armies are fighting, the merchants and prostitutes serve both sides, which is also a characteristic.

The soldiers drank crude ale, and some even took out gold coins, captured from the enemy's hands on the battlefield, of course, to spend the night with prostitutes.

Wang Qinian held the wine glass, the wine in his glass was a good wine, but he couldn't taste it, because he was a lich, although he felt as if he had a little taste, but he still couldn't taste it.

He swallowed the fine wine in his glass, the alcohol made him feel a little, but it was of little use, and he held the empty glass and looked at the rough appearance of the soldiers.

A soldier came to him, this was not a soldier, he knew, a mercenary, and it was he who went to rescue the soldiers.

"Arrod, how much money is there for this mission?"

"My lord, this mission is only a few dozen gold coins, and I am not alone, and the rest of the people have not moved the rescuers back, but my lord is really at stake, and with a hundred soldiers, he scared away nearly ten times the enemy. Arrod said with admiration.

"It's just a fluke. ”

"My lord, if you don't think the ale is unpleasant, just have a drink. Arrud drank too much, and he was fearless at this time, and another point was that he saw Wang Qinian save the group of people who transported the cannon with a few words, and thought that Wang Qinian was a good person.

"Thank you, just have a drink, where are you going after this mission?" Wang Qinian poured ale wine into his cup and asked.
