Chapter 104: Divide
"Haitings?" Jiang Yuan thought in his mind. The other party was obviously the leading representative of the Lanhai County nobles. Combined with the news that the two cities were looted, there was a high probability that the old marquis and Esdeath would become allies in some respects.

If the other party is willing to treat itself as a subordinate, the level of trouble will increase a bit, because Esdeath is more protective of shortcomings, and if you want to deal with it properly, you need to show your own value.

Purple-black light flashed past, and the blond boy appeared. It took out a silk bag from Jiang Yuan's pocket, turned around and threw it to the old Marquis. Inside was the spices and high-quality salt needed for outdoor dining. The latter was produced by Count Theus. collar.

Hetings didn't think anyone would dare to take action here. After all, there were [-] troops of his own stationed outside the city. When he opened the silk bag, his face darkened instantly.

"I thought you would like it." Jiang Yuan said with a hint of regret.

"It's a bit stingy to give it as a gift." Hetings suppressed his anger. This was no less than a provocation. Lanhai County is the largest producer of old salt, supplying the entire northern part of the empire and even the central part of the imperial capital. Generally speaking, the output of new salt is large and the cost is low. , the upper limit of high-quality products is higher, which is a leap in technology.

The two sides are mortal enemies and will not even cooperate, because cooperation means the loss of monopoly status and huge sunk costs. Reason is quite powerless in the face of interests.

Seeing someone who still wanted to talk, Esdeath interrupted loudly. She was not here to listen to the quarrel.

"Okay, the winter hunt is coming soon. Put other things aside for now and give me a direct answer as to how much support the Berkshire nobles can provide."

"The Sabin family sent 3000 people, including 20 elite cavalry, [-] knights, and [-] dan of food and grass." Lite said solemnly, but his eyes were fixed on the blond boy who just appeared.

"We can gather [-] soldiers and [-] elite cavalry. We are self-sufficient in weapons and equipment. We may have to rely on the general for food and grass." Charlemagne said. Behind him were several viscounts and many lower-level nobles. The issue of food and grass involves too many things to solve. solve.

"There are five thousand county soldiers and one thousand and two elite cavalry. I only leave one third to maintain order." The prefect said with a smile.

"The Thius family has 3000 people and two imperial envoys." Jiang Yuan said calmly.

Leete stood up suddenly, slammed the table angrily, and shouted, "Nortius, you are playing with the blood descendants of the Sabine family! This is undying hatred. I request a duel at the military base."

"I refuse." Jiang Yuan sat on the chair moved by Chelsea. A military fortress duel refers to a head-on battle between nobles who send troops to fight in the wilderness or plains without any fancy. It is considered a part of the nobles of the North. kind of tradition.

"Can dolls use the Teigu?" Esdeath looked at the blond boy with interest. The appearance of the dolls is the same as that of normal people, but their eyes are lifeless. They retain all their fighting power and some instinctive habits. They can Complete simple commands without the user using the knife.

"Okay." Jiang Yuan said calmly, "The effect of military music dreams is to affect people's emotions, and it has a good effect on military operations."

Esdeath motioned for Little to sit back down and said directly: "Come and be my subordinate, Noel, I will give you the position of deputy general."

"General Esdeath!?" Lite was shocked and angry.

"Sit down, Leeteuk. You don't need to express any objection to my decision."

Chitong blinked. The general on the main seat had a slender figure, long blue hair and eyebrows that were very unique. He had a plump chest and fair complexion. Although he had strong female characteristics, he should not be what someone said. trouble.

Then she kept quiet.

"I am a baron, and I sometimes seek my own interests. If you can tolerate this, there will be no problem." Jiang Yuan's eyes were like pools. "Of course, I always treat my subordinates well, so that they will win for me...Stop!!"

Esdeath was still shaking her head and laughing. She didn't expect Jiang Yuan to suddenly burst into flames. The March of the Dead was pulled out from his waist. His murderous intention was as soft and hazy as a stream under the moon. This was the most basic sliding forward slash, but his movements seemed to have been refined over time. , smooth and natural while concealing sharpness. On the long knife, death finally turned into a cold light.

There was still a look of astonishment on Li Te's face, and then his body was split into two, blood splattered all over the Marquis of Hattings next to him.

The Military Music Doll protected Chitong and retreated. The next second, Jiang Yuan was kicked out by a round and slender leg and smashed straight into the wall of the second floor.

Esdeath's expression was gloomy, and the back of the military boot on his left leg was completely cracked. After the opponent completed the forward slash, he immediately used the knife to defend the side. In other words, the opponent had planned to kill Li Te for a long time. If it hadn't been for the ankle. Covered in ice, his entire foot might be shaved off.

She felt no fluctuation in her heart about the death of Li Teuk. In this world, the jungle is the strongest, and death can only mean that the strength is not strong enough. However, Li Teuk was a leading nobleman, and the consequences of being killed were extremely serious. She considered herself powerful, but the vast grassland north of the Great Wall She was not there to catch rabbits in the Binghai Sea.

"Give me a reason, Noel, you are too extreme."

"I am Noel Theus. The general is the leader of the central faction. If I join your army, I must first completely sever ties with the Theus family. The price of killing Lit is enough to deprive me of my family name. , Furthermore, before I become your subordinate, I must give something back to the Theius family as a parting gift."

Jiang Yuan stood up from the fragments of the wall. Of course, the opponent would not use all his strength before confirming the sharpness of the dead man's march, and he had no murderous intentions. But even so, he was still in severe pain, and the force-relieving skills he used with a bodyguard-level body were not enough. As expected.

Esdeath's tone was cold, "You mean I didn't think carefully about inviting you?"

"A general is not your pinnacle. He who is a commander is a good general."

Jiang Yuan patted the dust off his hunting dress.

The prefect wiped his cold sweat after hearing this. Generals command soldiers, and commanders are good at directing generals in battles. Their abilities do not need to be comprehensive, because there are always subordinates to help solve problems.This baron should be able to do well in court.

"You are responsible for solving the mess you caused." Esdeath sat back down and looked at Hetings with a cold heart. He really didn't care about the lives of the nobles.

"Leet's army was taken over by Viscount Charlemagne, and the territory of Sabine was represented by Theus. County soldiers, independent nobles and the Theius family jointly sent troops to Sabine. One share of the wealth was five. Except for the three, the general and I each Take a copy, and the captured soldiers from the territory can be given to the general’s headquarters.”

"Yes." Charlemagne replied half-heartedly. In fact, the baron did not consider his opinion at all. It is obvious that the wealth of the earl family in 400 years has been tempting to independent nobles, and he could not refuse on their behalf.

"Okay, but I want their caravan." The prefect geared up.

Everyone expressed their acquiescence to this.

"Okay." Chitong suddenly said, "On behalf of my father, I agree with this decision."

Jiang Yuan smiled softly. According to the rules of inheritance, Chitong was indeed more qualified to represent Theus's opinions than he was. The difference was not big, but it might be less troublesome.
