Release that Witch Chapter 103: Honeysuckle and Elk (below)
Petrov leaned towards the crowd. "What happened?" he asked.
"Master Hull," someone saw the Honeysuckle Family emblem on his chest, "we are talking about Border Town's feudal lord. He confiscated the property of stronghold noble in small town."
"Just call me Petrov. What is the specific situation?"
"Let me explain for Mr. Petrov," Simon squeezed forward, with a flattering smile, "Yes, we are in the order of Duke adults, usually living in Border Town, managing Northern Slope Mine for the host family. Every winter We will all bring the townspeople back to Longsong Stronghold to protect them from being hurt by Evil Beast. This year Months of Demons ended. One of my colleagues, the Fletcher family Cornelius was actually informed by Border Town feudal lord that his house has been demolished by the townspeople and no Any compensation! "
"Either admit that the house does not belong to you, or send you to a cell and hang yourself for the crime of treason," he imitated the words of Fourth Prince Roland. "Sir, listen, what is the crime of treason? This is every mine in the past 100 years. What managers will do. "
Petrov can't help but think of the appearance of the young ash-grey hair man. Although the prince is extremely unbearable from the outside world, Roland Wimbledon is by no means a general generation in terms of the two contacts he experienced. The crime of defection in this method of treatment is just a reason for the other side to find casually. Prince -- never thought of persuading these people with reason.
He has completely broken off with Longsong Stronghold. Petrov thinks, or thinks deeper, will the prince not know that every year the townspeople and noble will go to stronghold to take refuge? Obviously not. He knew it, but he wanted to impose a crime, force the other party to make a choice, and let the other party return such a brutal processing result to Longsong Stronghold. What did the prince want to do?
"But he is Border Town's feudal lord," said a person who had mocked Simon before, "feudal lord has the right to determine the law in the territory."
"Border Town is also under the jurisdiction of Western Region!" Simon unpleasantly coldly said, "Do you question the authority of Lord Ryan? Standing in small town to supervise the work of the mine is an adult's meaning. Now Roland takes all noble houses They all have their own. This is a blatant confrontation against Six major family. Adult Ryan will never sit idly by. "
"You are talking about the executioner who did not give document/secretary even after hanged Hiller Dmitry?" I do not know when Ryan came together, "My father made a big Thunder for this."
"Master Dmitry," Simon saluted, "it is this man. Now he acts even more madly, I am afraid only Duke can stop him, I hope you can convey for us."
"Don't worry. Regardless of whether this is the case, the Ryan adult is ready to do something to him." Ryan said indifferently, "I came back for this matter, my brother is negotiating a deal with Kingdom Capital, Elk Family can only bring Team up. "
"Really? That's great." Simon said happily.
Petrov frowned. Although he knew that since the document/secretary was issued in winter, when His Highness the Prince chose to stay at Border Town, such a day would come sooner or later, but he did not expect his friends to go to battle. Regardless of the strange eyes of everyone, he pulled Ryan aside directly and discouraged: "You don't want to go, it's a prince."
"I know he is a prince, a prince in a mountain stream," Ryan Dmitry patted Petrov on the shoulder. "Rest assured that the adult Ryan will not hurt a prince. Maybe we surrender as soon as we pass. Even if we want to resist, as long as we start and rush, will all the farmers and miners run out? Fourth Prince will not dance with the sword, I guess he will not hurt a single hair.
No, I'm worried that you will be hurt by him ... Petrov opened his mouth, but did not say, he knew that the other party would not believe in himself, because even he himself could hardly believe that the prince could rely on the miners, Defeat the coalition of Lord Duke. For some reason, he was always upset.
"Master Petrov, your father asked you to go back. He has something to ask for you." A housekeeper with white hair suddenly hurried to Petrov, Fu said.
"I see," Petrov nodded, and bid farewell to Ryan in advance, and boarded the carriage with the housekeeper to return to Count Honeysuckle.
"Father." He went into the study, and Scraff Hull was writing something on the table.
Hearing the voice of Petrov, Earl did not stop writing, "You go to the territory to collect the output, number of people and income separately and give them to me. I can arrange the spring expedition. The Duke Ryan call order has come down. We all need Five Major Families to provide Knight and mercenaries for his Border Town. "
"How much will be out?"
The Earl hand gave a slight meal, raised head, "What's wrong, you never cared about this kind of problem before." He opened a message at the table, "Border Town has at least 25 people, and the corresponding squire and horses. Maid. Forty soldiers must be fully equipped. freemen or more than one hundred serfs should be equipped with simple weapon. "
Petrov is estimated in bottom of heart, so that Five Major Families adds up to about 1,000 people, plus Duke's own team, which can be regarded as overwhelming Western Region's. Even if Longsong Stronghold doesn't come out, this team is not able to resist Border Town. There were only more than 2,000 people there.
"Father, can't you go to the battlefield?" He hesitated, still speaking.
"What's the matter," Earl asked strangely.
"I worry about your safety."
Scraff couldn't help laughing, "Do you know what you say? An elephant stepping on an ant would be dangerous? His Highness the Prince has only a few Knight and less than fifty personal guard teams, and our Ten times as many as he is! "
In theory, this is indeed the case. Before you have seen Your Highness, Petrov will think so. But ... "Father, everyone said that the mud-walled walls would collapse when it rains, but the walls built by His Highness the Prince are not. They also said that Border Town's miners and impossible blocked Evil Beast, but His Highness the Prince not only did this. Even after the end of Months of Demons, no one fled back to stronghold. "The more he said, the more uneasy he felt," Now everyone thinks that Duke beat Roland Wimbledon, but the elephant has run over an ant, father, and the result will really be Is that so? "
"Enough!" Scraff snapped the table. He shook his head, stood up, and walked to a wall -- where portraits of ancestors of the past were hung. "It's normal that you prefer to do business, to talk about business than to launch a battle. But businessmen are not the same as timidity! Those traders who sail across the ocean face the threat of death every day." He said loudly against the wall. "Look at it, your grandfather, your grandfather's grandfather, they all rely on swords and bows to stand on this place full of beasts, exiles, and mountain thieves. You are so afraid of fighting. I'm disappointed! "
No, father. Petrov lowered his head, no longer argued, but muttered in his heart, you also know that it is grandfather and grandfather's grandfather. Look at those strong faces of Kong Wu, then look at your loose waistband and overflowing double chin. Father, can you still get a horse bow now?
