Chapter 16: The Mysterious Merchant (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"I didn't expect that the knight of Nahull would have such a big courage to openly disobey his orders without even giving any explanation. At this time, the old village chief Cole was also close to the heater in the corner, and kept rubbing his hands and said.
"Obviously, the wings are stiff, when the old baron was still there before, he was a little disobedient, this time the young Baron Leo took over as the lord of the Barony of Akmund, naturally he was more arrogant and domineering, and he behaved like this, I was afraid that there would be someone behind him. Simon tore off a piece of black bread and stuffed it into his mouth, took a sip of the soup, and said, "But if nothing else, this heating for the Baron is still very useful."
It seems that this is a benevolent nobleman, and in today's Lion Realm Kingdom, there are not many such benevolent lords. ”
"Alas, according to my grandfather's description, at that time, the nobles still attached considerable importance to the survival of the commoners.
However, the current Lion Realm Kingdom, which has inherited most of the territory and inheritance of the Pande Kingdom, is why does it despise the survival of civilians so much. Old Cole Village Chief couldn't help but shake his head slightly, "Compared to the Raven Kingdom in the north and several other countries, our Lion Realm is really ......."
"That's because the civilian combat position in our Lion Realm is too weak, and the noble military position is too strong, so the status of the nobles in my Lion Realm is more and more respected, and correspondingly, the status of civilians is naturally declining more and more.
I didn't expect our Baron Leo to be so sad for civilians. Simon took another bite of the black bread and said, "On that basis, I am optimistic about him." ”
......
On top of the grand feast, there are all kinds of delicacies, charred and crispy roast chicken, and a few roast sheep flowing with delicious juice.
At this time, a burly and sturdy man was holding a huge leg of mutton and gnawing on it, and when he heard the report from the attendant on the side, he also said loudly, "That little cub really sent troops, hmph, Lao Tzu wants him to understand that this barony is not all up to him." ”
Seeing this scene, the two middle-aged men dressed as businessmen couldn't help but look at each other with a bit of bitterness, "Knight Hull is still cautious, no matter what, Baron Leo is also your lord, these words are spread, the matter is not small, you better ......"
"Got it, got it. The knight of Hel also scratched his beard impatiently and shouted, "Why are you so cowardly? I know you have ...... behind your back."
"Shut up!" Seeing this scene, the two of them also shouted in unison, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.
Even the original Knight of Hull was suppressed, and the huge roast leg of lamb stopped at his mouth, and the oil and water kept dripping down, staining his clothes.
"Knight of Hull, I hope you can understand that we are not representing anyone, we are just that we are not used to your situation and want to help you, and there is no one behind us," one of them snapped, "If you think we are under the command of anyone, then there is nothing to say, we just leave." ”
"Don't don't, don't either, it's me who said the wrong thing," Knight Hull left his seat directly and hugged the two of them, "Two good brothers, I drank too much and said the wrong thing just now, I know, you just can't see Leo's arrogance." ”
"Hmph," the two snorted softly, signaling their displeasure.
"Two brothers, the manpower you promised, but is it too fast?
I estimate that after Leo reorganizes his army, he will soon be able to rush to my Hull manor, although he is a yellow-haired child, but after all, the newborn calf is the lord of the entire Barony of Akmund, if you don't have enough manpower, I will inevitably be in a hurry. Knight Hull said with a smirk.
"Knights of Hull, don't worry," the two merchants looked at each other with a friendly smile on their faces again, "our thirty caravan guards, twelve elite militiamen of the Lion Realm, eight bounty hunters, and five mercenary infantry will be here soon."
Oh, by the way, I have a makeover plan to help seven more well-known fighters, all of whom are my treasures. ”
Lion Realm infantry, that is not everyone can train, only the nobles of the Lion Realm can be qualified to train, of course they have a lot of secrets, but if you want to put it on the surface, once the matter is opened, it will be a lot of trouble!
"Haha, my brother is really righteous enough," Knight Hull patted the merchant on the shoulder, and a large area of oil stained the merchant's silk clothes, making the merchant feel distressed.
"Alright, we've eaten about the same amount of food, so we'll go back to rest," said one of the merchants, "Won't the Knight of Hull's room be cleaned up yet?"
"Of course not," the chief of the Hal knights smiled, "come and take the two distinguished guests down to rest." ”
The two merchants, after returning to the room with the attendants, carefully closed the doors and windows, and then looked at each other, "What do you think?"
"This Hull Knight has some brains, but at best he is a smart man among the reckless, and I don't think I'm optimistic about him. "If this person is in the Long River City, it will inevitably attract the attention of countless people, and this is the famous big businessman in the Long River City, the master of the Mut Chamber of Commerce.
"Is there such an exaggeration?" on one side is obviously another big businessman in Long River City, Gatsbu.
At this time, when he heard what Mutt said, he also raised his eyebrows slightly, tore off the fake mustache on his face, and said in disbelief, "The strength we have to support this Hull knight is definitely a lot.
He himself is restless, there are nearly ten elite militiamen in the Lion Realm under his command, plus more than ten militiamen, with us, ordinary baronies can't resist, let alone such a long-weakened barony?
I know they've made a lot of money lately, but it takes time to convert wealth into strength. ”
"Haven't you also read the news? Baron Leo has recently taken in refugees on a large scale, and he is definitely a lord with great ambitions, don't look at the fact that he has just been sealed, but the strength under his command has also increased.
Besides, among the people we support, that is, a few bounty hunters and mercenary infantry, you know better than me the level of caravan guards. Mutt shook his head and said, "Forget it, no matter what, let's get out first, it's not safe here after all." ”
"Well," Gatsbu nodded, and as he did, with the moonlight, he disappeared into Hull Manor.
"What, you said they left?" said the Knight of Hull was shocked when he heard the squire's report that day, "Have they repented?
After all, the Akmund family is the master of the barony, and the prestige is still here, and the Knight of Hull is still extremely taboo for such a move, even if it is a successful reputation, it is stinky, but after all, this is the Barony of Akmund, as long as it can eat and live Leo, there will not be other nobles meddling in their affairs and presiding over justice.
However, the premise is that under the premise that his Hull Knight can defeat Leo, if the other party's support does not arrive, he is really a little weak in his heart, and during this period of time, Leo's reputation is really spreading very quickly.
But fortunately, a large number of teams in the distance raised a lot of dust, and one of the caravan guards in the lead made the intention clear, which still made the Knight of Dehull put his mind at ease, and muttered in his heart, those two people, maybe they really just have something important to leave?
But why did they leave in such a hurry and not even a letter was left?
He has verified the identity of the other party, no problem, it is indeed the people of the Namut Chamber of Commerce and Gatsbu, these newcomers can also be trusted, such a terrifying strength team, the other party will not throw it out at will?
Of course, the Knight of Hull at this time naturally didn't know that the two merchants he saw were not the right-hand men of the merchants, but the two famous merchants in Long River City, Mutter and Gatsbu!
At this time, the Hull knight was also extremely excited to deploy defenses everywhere, and then unified his own team with the new soldiers, looking at a large group of people who were pressed by the black, and there was a horse team of more than 30 people, at this time, the Hull knight also had a feeling of scolding Fang Xuan in his heart.
At this time, he was even looking forward to Leo's arrival, so that he could beat him up and see if he dared to go wild to himself in the future!
