19. The Earl is trapped
(Thanks to the "Celebrity Historians" for the tip!)
The next day it was almost noon, Baron Edmund arrived in a hurry, he received two soldiers escorting prisoners, asked about the situation, was startled, and secretly complained in his heart that Franklin was dizzy, it was luck to be able to destroy an enemy army of more than a dozen people, and he also went to move Baron Eden's idea, in the end, he was young, and he was fortunate to win a game, and he didn't know how thick the sky was, and he actually provoked more than 60 barons with about 20 people, and the other party had a team of knights, although there were only one or two knights, most of them were low-level knights and subordinate knights, but this force was that he didn't dare to provoke, if the knight was around, he still dared to fight fairly。
Unfortunately, the knight had already been taken away by Friedrich, and he immediately accelerated his advance, hoping that Franklin had not done anything stupid and that he could stop Franklin.
But he was anxious, but he brought fifty infantry, although there were a few horses, he couldn't ignore the soldiers, he sighed: "It seems that this son is going to lose again, last time he made a ransom incident, he didn't promise the robbers, and the loss turned out to be even greater, this time he has to prepare a ransom to redeem him from the other party, this rebel!"
In this way, he led fifty soldiers on a hurried march, and arrived at noon, and the scouts had already discovered that it was Baron Edmund, and hurried forward to salute.
"How is Franklin?" asked Baron Edmund, in a bad tone.
"Report to Lord Baron, our side defeated Baron Eden, captured Baron Eden and several knights, and now the young master is camping ten miles ahead, waiting for Lord Baron's arrival. ”
"What? You said you captured Baron Eden?" Baron Edmund seemed to hear the heavens, and the infantry of twenty men actually defeated Baron Eden, which was more than sixty men, and there was also a knightly army.
"Yes, we have won!" said the scout proudly, "The young master is waiting for the adults in front, I will go first and report to the young master." ”
After the scout finished speaking, he got on his horse and galloped away, but Baron Edmund stood dumbfounded, his mind was completely blank, and his mind was full of questions, how did this kid do it, a peasant army, less than a month of training, could it be magic, I heard that he recruited a newcomer, he was a ranger, but he knew magic, could it be the power of magic, other than that, Baron Edmund couldn't think of any explanation.
When Franklin heard that his father was coming, he immediately led a team to greet him, although Baron Edmund was full of doubts, but he also knew that it was not the time to ask, the soldiers camped on the spot, and the baron took the knights who accompanied him to enter Franklin's camp tent, and asked about the process of victory, Franklin briefly introduced the experience of the fire attack, and Baron Edmund was in addition to doubts, and sighed: "This kind of thing can't be done at the same time, do you know?"
"I know that if it weren't for the disparity in power, I wouldn't agree to do it. Franklin said.
Wang Qinian saw that the baron didn't like it, and he didn't care in his heart, he was not a baron's subordinate, he just helped Franklin, and he wouldn't be in Franklin for a long time, he laughed secretly in his heart, war, you think it's a family.
In fact, this kind of war between counts, there are too many rules, although there are no prohibitions, but both sides abide by some rules, which is unacceptable to Wang Qinian, Wang Qinian's impression of the war, a move is hundreds of thousands, and both of them only go out more than a thousand people, and each team is only about 100 people, or even less, although Wang Qinian has the memory of Nickles Andrew, he still can't take this kind of child's play war seriously.
War should be the kind of war to destroy the country, although there are also in this world, but there are not many, and between them, there are internal contradictions.
Baron Edmund glanced at Wang Qinian, and then looked away, Wang Qinian also knew what he meant, he thought that his methods were too spicy, and he was expressionless, and he couldn't please Baron Edmund, he was just a baron, Wang Qinian's current ambition was to avoid the pursuit of the bishop and find a place to live, Baron Edmund was obviously not a good employer.
Franklin saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and hurriedly diverted the topic: "Father, Betsy has been promoted and has become a fourth-level water magician." ”
"Thanks to the founder, thanks to Archangel Marclee, thanks to the ancestors, the Edmund family has finally appeared mage, Betsy, from today onwards, you will become Franklin's assistant, and your salary will be doubled. "Baron Edmund is very happy, in the family, there is finally a magician, although some nobles also recruit individual mages, but not all nobles have mages, and even most nobles do not have mages, can cultivate one, he is overjoyed, because the mages cultivated by noble families can rarely break through to the real magician Cheng dù, and they are generally magic apprentices for life.
He thanked Archangel Maclele, Archangel Marclea is the angel in charge of the water element, the creator Euroha, is the real god in the creator bishop, the rest are not called gods, but called angels, the creator is also step by step to today, more than 1,800 years, the creator bishop has destroyed one pagan faith after another, but it has not completely pushed the gods of various pagan religions into the garbage of history, in magic, all elements are zài gods, such as Markle is the god of the water element, after integrating into the creator bishop, renamed the archangel, since the creation era, there are a variety of magic elements in the world, the archangel of the light element is Santo, and the archangel of the wind element is Mondelo, the archangels of the fire element are Mars, the archangel of the earth element, the archangel of the thunder element, the archangel of the dark element, the archangel of the dark element, the archangel Slo, and the archangel of the time element, Tem, as well as the guardian archangel of the knight, Gabriel, the guardian archangel of life, Venaf, and so on.
Privately, some mages also called gods, especially Nickreus Andrew, who believed in Hadir, the god of the underworld, and became the archangel of the dark element in the Creator Patriarch, a strategy that was so successful that the magician and the Creator were not in opposition.
A monotheistic religion has done a very successful job at this point, and the magicians are not a whole and are divided unconsciously.
Baron Edmund also went to see Baron Eden, the two met, but they were polite, Wang Qinian looked at them with a hypocritical look, and couldn't help but sigh, who said that they wouldn't play any conspiracy, according to Wang Qinian, they played very beautifully, and went deep into the bone marrow.
Baron Edmund and Baron Eden had a good conversation, but Wang Qinian came out of the tent, and when Franklin saw this scene, he muttered to himself that it was not easy to go out, but Baron Edmund didn't care.
In the evening, Franklin personally came to Wang Qinian: "Mr. Wang, that's not what I meant, don't care." ”
Wang Qinian Yile: "I'm fine, don't take it to heart, I'll rush to Namibiburg tomorrow morning, or rest early." ”
"Mr. Wang, don't worry, I know in my heart that the two victories are all your credit, and I will not forget it. ”
"Don't say that, I just came up with an idea, the execution is always the credit of everyone, without the soldiers, we will not achieve victory, you don't take it to heart, okay, rest early, tomorrow we have to march. Wang Qinian didn't care about this, he had to leave sooner or later anyway, people's realms are different, for them, they may pay attention to it, but Wang Qinian's heart is not in this aspect, just to help.
The next day, Baron Edmund and Franklin set out, and Franklin's twenty soldiers were in good spirits, and after two battles, Franklin distributed the spoils, and forty percent of them went to them, and the booty alone made them feel that they had followed Franklin.
The procession meandered, not long, not far, the scout in front came to report, caught a person, the team stopped, the people quickly came, but instead of being caught, they took the initiative to find them.
This is a mercenary, when he saw Baron Edmund, he asked clearly that he was going to Namibiburg, took out a letter from his clothes, and handed it to Baron Edmund, Baron Edmund opened the letter, looked at the seal and lacquer seal on the envelope, and then looked at the seal on the letter paper, which proved that it was the letter from Count Lane, and then read the content of the letter.
His face immediately became ugly, it turned out that Count Ryan did not expect the enemy to move so quickly this time, he was trapped in Namibiburg, Count Edward's general, Viscount Bill, known as One-Eyed Bill, broke through the defense line and suddenly appeared in Namibiburg, Namibiburg had only three hundred troops, and was surrounded by nine hundred people, known as a thousand, and nearly a hundred knights, and there was no way, a mercenary group secretly tied down from the castle at night and came out to move the rescuers.
Most of Earl Lyon's men have not yet gathered, and the soldiers under Baron Edmund are only seventy or eighty, if they go, it is not enough for Viscount Bill, if they don't save it, the letter has been delivered, and in an instant, Baron Edmund's eyes showed a fierce light, staring at the mercenary, and he had the idea of killing people in his heart.
Killed the mercenary who delivered the letter, pretended not to know anything, and did not go to rescue Earl Lane, Wang Qinian saw this scene, and probably understood what was going on in his heart, and glanced at Franklin, Franklin was stunned for a moment, and said: "Father, we should speed up and rescue Count Lane." ”
Baron Edmund sighed in his heart, thinking about it, even if he killed this mercenary, his seventy or eighty soldiers could also see it clearly, and it was difficult to ensure that he would not get lost, so it seemed that he could only go to the rescue.
But the enemy is nearly a thousand, ten times his own, what should he do? Baron Edmund was in trouble for a while.
"Father, can we contact the others, I wonder where the knights of my cousin Friedrich have gone?" said Franklin.
"The knight Friedrich had entered the castle and stormed it while it was besieged, losing five knights. The mercenary said, everyone was stunned, although a knight could not be compared with a magician, but it was not cheap, and five of them were lost at once, although they were all low-level knights or subordinate knights.
"What kind of person is Viscount Bill?" Wang Qinian spoke.
"Viscount Bill is a general under Earl Edward, with a fiery personality, but he is not stupid, he is more suspicious, and he seems to be a little contradictory, but since he lost an eye, his personality has been more irritable. Raymond replied.
Wang Qinian had a smile on his face.
