Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

Listening to the faint sobs coming from behind, Duke Olsson, who was about to walk out of the room, silently sighed, his steps did not stop because of sobbing, and he walked out unswervingly. And he took the door to the room.

How he didn’t know Teresa’s mind, he was also very pleased with it, but birth, aging, sickness and death are such is human nature, and no one can change it. That’s what he thinks. , So told Teresa.

Although Siphos is not as strict as the bishop of the other world, if someone finds that Teresa secretly believes in a cult, she will still be caught by angry civilians and executed on the square. He is expensive as a duke and cannot save his daughter’s life.

Siphosism is deeply rooted in the northern countries of the West Guinness Peninsula. Its influence has been weakened a lot in recent years, but the old duke still keeps in mind the religious madness of his childhood. At that time, as long as If someone is accused of being heresy, the pastor of the church will bring so-called apologists to the door, forcibly arrest the other party for trial, and finally use burning to purify their sins.

The religious authority of Siphos religion has been weakened to the present level. The main reason is that the kings of the northern West Guinness Peninsula cannot sit back and watch religion shake their ruling foundation. They jointly promulgated policies to weaken Siphos religion and adopted iron and blood. The means suppressed the riots of one after another group of fanatics, and with countless lives and the blood that gathered in a river, the Siphos believers were forced to bow their heads.

Although the religious authority has been weakened, and the arrest of heretics is not like the madness of the time, if there is conclusive evidence, even if Duke Olsson wants to protect Teresa, there is nothing he can do.

Therefore, the old duke warned Teresa to keep her from contacting those black robed man. He would pretend that today’s things did not happen, and let Teresa concentrate on preparing for her wedding.

As for whether Teresa will listen to his warnings, he doesn’t know. The only thing he can do is to silently finish the work behind his back, trying to make his daughter not Something happened.

……

“Mein City, I am back.”

Looking at the city standing between two hills not far away, Richard relaxed , There is a feeling of going home.

Since the attack, he has been deliberately vigilant in the city of Kleiner, for fear that he will be assassinated again. Now that he has returned to his Fiefdom, he finally feels relieved, anyway. , Your own home is always safer than outside.

The return of the earl attracted the attention of many civilians. They looked at the more than 300 people behind the lord in surprise. Although those people were not equipped with armor and weapons, the sturdyness radiated from them. The fierce breath can tell that their identities must be not simple.

At least no one would foolishly think that those people are simply civilians abducted from Krener by the lord.

After returning to the city, Richard gave the three hundred veterans who had come back with him to the long-awaited Cassia, who looked at these unarmed veterans and suddenly had a kind of as if having a fish The feeling of bone stuck in one’s throat, how should I put it, he originally thought that Richard would bring back a fully armed elite force, but that was the end?

Richard also noticed Cassia’s subtle expression, he smiled helplessly, how to explain this, even if Duke Olsson is his prospective father-in-law, it is impossible to give away the weapons and equipment of three hundred people. Give it to Richard, and these three hundred people are nominally veterans who have been dismissed from the army, so all of them can only retreat with their outfits and follow Richard with their salutes.

After the soldiers were handed over to Cassia, Richard specially ordered Cassia to divide these soldiers into groups. People who knew each other were scattered and assigned to each Hundred Men Squad and its subordinate Ten Men Squad (card West Asia later added a new squad, as the name suggests, ten people are divided into a squad), to ensure that they do not have the opportunity to team up and engage in small organizations.

After this, what Cassia will do with them is not what Richard needs to care about. As a superior, he must delegate power to his subordinates so that they can exercise freely, and he can only develop his subordinates by doing everything by himself. Dependence on him, is this good, this is not good.

After the handover with Cassia was completed, Richard, who had returned to Naiburg, summoned his seal minister, treasurer, and Mayor Mein to discuss the wedding less than a month later with the three.

The location of the wedding is undoubtedly in the inner fort of Mein City. This point will not change. The most important issue is the scale and cost of the wedding, as well as the accommodation and accommodation of the guests after entering Mein City. Security issues.

On the issue of the scale and cost of the wedding, the Secretary of the Seal Jacob and the Treasurer Marlowe actually reached a common opinion. In their view, this wedding is more than a simple There are many factors behind the wedding. The scale of the wedding is related to Richard’s face and financial resources. The grand wedding scene represents the rich financial resources of the new Earl of Mein. The guests will show sufficient respect for Richard, and vice versa. Although the guests will not say anything on the surface What, but secretly will definitely agree that Earl Meen is only this.

Richard’s opinion is the same as them. This is the first wedding in his life. The bigger the scene, the better. It just happens to be able to show the strength of the Earl of Meen for the nobles who came to attend. Therefore, he is going to go to the world before the wedding to get a lot of spices. If he wants to show his financial resources, using splurge without money is the best way-there is no one.

Moreover, he can also use this to reveal to the guests that he has the ability to purchase enough spices, so as to personally intervene and dominate the spice trade in Touraine Kingdom and even the surrounding kingdoms…

Richard revealed that he has abundant financial resources and strong military power. Even if he took out a lot of spices, no one would dare to attack him. An innocent man treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime would not happen to Richard.

Therefore, an agreement was quickly reached on the scale and cost of the wedding. Richard instructed the two cabinet ministers to devote all their current energy to the preparation of the wedding and allowed them to use the treasury at will He also said that he would get a lot of spice from the channels he controlled.

For Richard’s words, the two cabinet ministers and Mayor Mein were undoubtedly a little skeptical. Apart from their doubts, they decided to prepare to buy spices from southerners first, in case their lord said If it is not done, there will be no spice.

As for the issue of accommodation and security, Mayor Fulk of Mein is about to be handed over. Fulk said that he will go all out for this burden. He will cooperate with the sheriff and the city defense army before the wedding. The gangsters in the city will be rectified to ensure that there will be no accidents during the wedding. In addition, he will choose a place suitable for the nobles to stay in the hotel in the city to solve the accommodation problem of the guests.
