Chapter 84 Trading
Prince Jandar knew he was exposed when he saw the cavalry coming straight towards them on the way out of the city, all in full armor and holding spears.

The Ghazi warriors under him put their hands into their bosoms one after another. There is the blood of beasts refined by the shamans of their tribe. As long as they drink it, they can burst out with terrifying power several times higher than usual.

Of course, the price is also extremely heavy.

The duration of the blood of the beast is limited, after the eruption, everyone will fall into a long period of weakness.

Those cavalrymen with feather decorations on their backs, holding lances, blocked their way forward.

In the rear, there are heavy infantrymen holding two-handed axes and wearing countless layers of black chain armor.

These cunning Franks have set up a trap from which there is no escape!

Lothar raised his lance and pointed at the opposite side: "Catch it without a fight, Turkic. I knew something was wrong with you as early as that night, but I didn't expect you to dare to do it."

Keng——

Sword unsheathed.

More than a dozen Ghazi warriors guarding Prince Jandar nervously made a defensive posture.

But they knew very well that even if they drank the blood of wild beasts, they would surely die today.

It is impossible for them to defeat a cavalry in this exposed street, and then fight a bloody road for their master to the outside of the city.

Moreover, Lothar specially chose an unpopulated street to block them, which made the Turks incite chaos, and the possibility of escaping by taking the opportunity also failed.

Prince Jandar suddenly shouted: "We can talk!"

He spoke very fast, as if he was afraid that Lothar would give an order to attack in the next moment: "We have cut up the werewolf's body, because we want its body to make a potion—for you Franks In other words, it has lost its value, even if you take it back, it is impossible to serve as a holy object again."

Lothar sneered, "So?"

Jandal said loudly: "We are willing to spend money, take out all the gold and silver treasures on our bodies, as well as the mounts and pack animals we have stored in our residence!"

Lothar snorted coldly: "Confused! Kill you, these are mine too."

Jandar was startled, and then shouted again: "But you have to know, we are from a Turkic tribe that still adheres to the ancient traditions. Our shamans have mysterious and extraordinary powers, which is why we seek the werewolf corpses." The reason, I swear to Changshengtian, if we try our best, at least half of you will die!"

"So let us go, it's better for you and better for us."

Lothar looked at Fringela.

The latter immediately whispered: "There is indeed a strange aura, but with me and the big fool here, if we really fight, we shouldn't lose many people."

How many people are "not many people lost"?
Lothar weighed in a little bit, and said: "If you make a transaction request at the beginning, maybe I will agree."

"However, you chose shameful theft and only made a request for a deal after being discovered. If I agree to you, where will the laws of Jerusalem be? How can I explain to a high-ranking clergyman like Archbishop William? ?”

Prince Zandar said nervously: "What exactly do you want? To put it bluntly, we have paid all the price we can, and if we can't reach an agreement—the people of Changshengtian will never be afraid of death!"

Lothar said bluntly: "You have to pay more."

Prince Jandal said angrily: "But we have already decided to hand over all our wealth to you. Do you still want us to sell ourselves into slaves and work for you?"

"Let me tell you, this is impossible. The people of Changshengtian are free-flying eagles, and they will never humiliately serve pagans like you!"

Lothar thought for a moment, and said unwillingly: "Add some more, such as potion formula, or the mystic knowledge mastered by your shaman?"

Prince Jandar bluntly refused: "No, it's impossible. This is something only the shamans in the family know. We can't leak it to you."

It seems that there is really no room for squeezing more oil and water.

Lothar hesitated for a moment, and said: "Well, I swear in the name of the heavenly father, as long as you lay down your weapons and hand over all your belongings, you will be allowed to leave Jerusalem."

Prince Jandar breathed a sigh of relief: "Put down your weapons. I've heard of this Lothar. He is a pious man. The oath of such a person is credible."

"puff--"

Lothar stared at the sound, only to find that it was Fringilla.

She coughed lightly and covered it up: "I choked on my own saliva."

Lothar sent troops to escort them back to the hotel where they were staying, and fetched the leather, gold and silver coins, gems, precious clothes, etc. they brought. According to rough statistics, it should be worth five hundred Suledes, which is also considered Great value.

Lothar also specially left some coins for them, barely enough for their board and lodging expenses in recent days.

As for what will happen to Archbishop William, he doesn't care.

Anyway, he won.

A werewolf corpse, in exchange for prestige and money, has both face and face.

Only Archbishop William Wounded reached the world!

Before leaving, Prince Jandar asked with some doubts: "By the way, I have a question to ask you, what is 'Tifa'? I mean, what 'Sandy area' you set up for the church guards cannot The meaning of the password without Tifa'?"

On Lothar's face, there was a rare strange expression. He thought for a moment, and said nonsense: "It is an ancient Norse language, intended to emphasize the importance of Jerusalem to Christians."

"I understand."

Prince Jandal showed a dazed expression, and he said: "So farewell, Baron Lothar. You are a money-grubbing person, but you are also a very honest person. I am willing to deal with Franks like you. One day, maybe we can still See you later, hopefully we won't be enemies then."

"Heh, if you want to be an enemy, I hope you still have enough money with you at that time."

Lothar and his party watched the Turks leave.

Flynn was a little puzzled and said: "If you don't do it again, they will really run away!"

Lothar shook his head: "I've been squeezed out of oil and water, can't I see them and have to leave on foot? Killing them all, what good is it for us?"

These Turkic people are just thieves, not vicious murderers, and a "fine" is enough.

When returning to the city.

A cavalryman covered in yellow dust was galloping through the streets, shouting as he galloped: "Saladin is here, his army is coming from the east, and it is about to approach the city of Kaleburg."

Lothar was slightly taken aback.

This day has finally come.

He turned over and jumped on the horseback, speaking very fast:

"Hans, you go back to the knight order first, and order all the members of the regiment, whether they are sergeants, fief knights or hired knights, to return to their posts and camps immediately, and be ready to leave Jerusalem to go out to fight at any time.

Flynn and Banruo, come with me to the main hall, Leonard's request for help must have been submitted to the imperial court, the most important thing right now is to fight for a more favorable position in the expeditionary army. "

The commander-in-chief of the original army must be selected from among the members of the queen mother's party. After all, there are too many nobles behind them.

If the commander is someone else, it is impossible for them to accept it.

But you must know that the key figure in the queen mother's party, Earl Leonard of Kaleburg, is now under siege by the enemy, and it is impossible to assume the position of commander in any case.

It would undoubtedly be in his best interest to elect the most prestigious Baron Godfrey, who is currently staying in the city, as the commander-in-chief of the army.

In the memory of Lothar's previous life, the one who fought against Saladin was King Guy who had married Sibylah and sat on the throne of the King of Jerusalem.

His stupidity and eagerness to prove himself and overwhelm many resistance forces resulted in the loss of almost the entire main force of Jerusalem in the "Battle of Harding".

It shows how terrifying a stupid commander is to the destructive power of an army.

Although Baron Godfrey may not have the ability to command, at least he can listen to Lothar's advice, and there is room for choice in the tasks assigned.
