Chapter 317: Viscount Eddies

"Unexpectedly, Winston Province turned out to be more desolate than the Northland. It seems that your two families are very dedicated to the captivity here." Lorist rode his horse and turned his head to face Baron Felim who was following behind. Talk to Baron Shaheen.

Baron Felim shook his head: "It wasn't for us. Since you took us back from occupying the Royal City, we haven't done anything to Winston Province. Maybe you don't believe it, but in fact our two territories Most of the additional leaders came here by themselves. The nobles of Winston Province themselves became a pot of porridge and were in a mess. We all intervened lazily. In order to survive, most of the civilians of Winston Province ran to the north. Taking refuge does not require us to take any manpower."

Baron Shaheen nodded, indicating that Baron Felim was telling the truth.

This was on the way to the King's City of Windbury in the Iberian Kingdom to participate in the Knights Tournament. Looking around, Lorist remembered a poem from his previous life: the bones are out of the wild, and there is no cock.

Ten years ago, before the civil war broke out, Winston Province was the fourth largest province in the former Christian Empire with a population of over 600,000. Its area was only one-seventh of the Northland, but commercial development was still growing. The empire is famous far and wide. It used to be the largest livestock trading market in the former empire. Merchants from Northland, Eastern Desolation, Muyeyuan, Southern and Central seven provinces gathered here. They brought all kinds of daily necessities and commodities and brought back countless cattle. Sheep have created the bustling city of Windbury.

I remember there was a saying at the time, which meant that being a baron in Winston Province was much wealthier than being a Duke of the North. This is the pride of Winston, and it is also a mockery of the people of the North. After all, Northland was the largest province in the former empire, and also the most desolate and poorest province.

Fengshui turns, and after only a dozen years, Winston Province has become more desolate than the former Northland. This is not only due to the two princes desperately searching for wealth and military supplies and repeated defeats, but also Lorist's contribution to the flames and the responsibility of deliberately depleting the vitality of Winston Province to prevent it from posing a threat to the North. And now the queen in charge of the King City of Windbury has no prestige and ability to mediate the conflicts between the nobles of the territory and the continuous fighting in Winston Province is also one of the reasons.

However, in the past two months, Winston Province has become very calm, and there has been no territorial war between the nobles. The reason is that Archduke Fesabrun brought two field ranger regiments back to the town of Windbury. There is this obvious former imperial warlord here, and any arrogant nobleman in the territory has to weigh his own family. Whether the strength can withstand the thunder strike of Prince Fesabrunn, all the nobles have learned how to play a safe guard.

Anyway, the purpose of Grand Duke Fesabrunn's visit to the royal city is very simple. It is to hold a grand knight tournament and select an excellent knight as her husband-in-law for Princess Silvia, who is over 25 years old. As long as everyone survives the past few months and allows Archduke Feisabrun to successfully end this knight tournament, then once he leaves, Winston Province will again become a place for the nobles of the territory. Besides, everyone has been playing for so long and just took this opportunity to take a rest and prepare for the next trouble. Of course, there are also many confident noble knights who believe in their bravery and are ready to show their talents in this conference.

Long cavalry troops walked on the broken national road. Lorist brought a 3,000-man guard battalion this time, and El, who was promoted to the Golden Knight, returned to the position of commander of the guard battalion. Pat, who had been seriously injured on the island of Silova, was mixed in the guards after healed. After more than a year, Lorist was re-recruited to the guard battalion to serve as deputy commander and captain. Speaking of which, Pat was also blessed from his injury. During his recovery, he successfully embraced the beautiful woman. After he recovered from his injury, he married the beauty Martha at the Shiratori restaurant, but at the time Lorist was still in Haneabata, back Later, he gave a generous gift to celebrate his childhood rival and playmate Pat.

Count Kenmes brought a thousand guards, while Baron Felim and Baron Shaheen each brought five hundred men. Because of Lorester's request, all three allies brought cavalry troops, which was for safety and to prevent accidents. A day away from them, there are also a steel armoured Lancer regiment and two chariot steel crossbow battalions led by Tiger Ross. In the event of a critical situation, more than 20,000 people will rush over to respond.

"This is too desolate. We have all walked for three days and there is no decent castle along the way. Where are the lords dead?" Joe, who left his position again and insisted on following Lorist to attend the Knight Conference Sk was puzzled.

Baron Shaxin laughed "pussingly".

"What are you laughing at? Henned..." Josk was a little angry. He and Baron Shaheen were old rivals. Back then, the Grand Duke of the North dispatched Golden Knight Chevani and Henned, who is not yet Baron Shaheen, to attack the Norton family territory. Although they had never fought each other, they knew each other after Henneide was captured by Lorist. They had a good friendship and were usually informal.

Baron Shaheen pointed to Lorist’s back: "This is your grown-up’s idea. You will understand when you ask Baron Felim. When Locke asked our two families to attack and loot Winston Province, he wanted to take this place. It caused people to live in trouble, especially this national highway leading to the King City of Windbury. We swept back and forth several times. You said where the lords went, they were hanged by us long ago. So to the lords of other countries For the territory close to the national highway, which symbolizes the wealth of money, in the Iberian Kingdom it means ruin and death."

Josk stopped speaking. Lorist's move was obviously a kind of alternative fortification and clearing of the wilderness, which increased the difficulty and trouble for the Iberian Kingdom to send troops to the north. Although the aristocracy of Windbury King City is not a weapon, but behind the Iberian Kingdom stood the Fesabrun family. It was necessary for Lorist to be so on guard a few years ago.

Baron Shaheen comforted: "Don’t worry, Joe, tomorrow we will arrive at Walker Town, which is the territory of Viscount Eddies, and his castle is also there. Last time we sent troops to the city, this Viscount Eddies is very I knew that he paid a large ransom and paid a large amount of food and grass so that his territory was not harmed. Because he had a good reputation, we also let him go. I heard that his territory has developed well in the past two years, and he is considered warm. A rare and good lord of Ston Province, but the relationship with the queen is not very good. For this reason, some territorial nobles are gathered to protect themselves, which is a bit of strength.

When we arrive at Walkertown tomorrow, we can have a good drink, all to blame on Locke, and no alcohol is allowed on the march. Not to mention you, even I can't stand it anymore. For the past three days, my mouth was so pale that I bite the meat every day and ate bread, staying vigilant or something... We were going to the knight tournament, why did we put up such a war? What looks like! "

When Baron Shaheen complained that Josk was unhappy: "What are you talking about, Henned, my lord is for your own good. This time we are going to participate in this knight tournament together with the four of us in the north, and the talents have to be so careful so as not to Any omissions. Otherwise, the lord will take me and El on it. So many people have been arranged to protect you. You still don’t appreciate..."

Baron Shaheen was angry: "You, I was kind enough to comfort you just now, and now you blame me on the other hand, it was you who started the topic first..."

When the younger brother arrived at Walkertown at noon the next day, the envoy who went to the King City of Windbury to inform him also rushed back, and also brought an aristocratic messenger, Earl Richard, who was sent by Prince Feisabrun to greet him.

Earl Richard was very enthusiastic to express to Lorist and others that Grand Duke Fesabrun welcomed the four great nobles of the Northland to join the Knights Tournament, and conveyed a message that shocked Lorist on behalf of Grand Duke Fesabrun. Proposal: In view of the lack of troops, Grand Duke Feisabrun is willing to entrust the southern gate of Windbury King City to the guardianship of the four great nobles in the North, and they will send troops to guard the southern gate of the Royal City during the convention.

Lorester finally let go of his heart at this time. The proposal of Archduke Fesabrunn is obviously to let the four great nobles of the Northland put down their guard, which shows that Archduke Fesabrunn really wants to hold this time. The Knight Tournament did not harbor any conspiracy, and being able to hand over the southern gate of the royal city also meant that he was upright and had a way out for the four great nobles in the north.

On behalf of the four great nobles of the Northland, Earl Kenmes expressed his gratitude to Earl Richard for the news, and praised Prince Fesabrunn for his upright demeanor and respect for the Feysabrunn family. The two of them just stood outside Walker town. You and I talked about nonsense for most of the day. There is no way. This is the diplomatic etiquette of the nobles. Even if they are impatient, they have to show their demeanor and politeness with a smile.

In the end, the negotiations ended with Lord Kenmax accepting the offer of Prince Fesabrun. He and Lord Richard held hands very closely, like two long-lost brothers who had reunited.

The landlord, Viscount Eddies, who had been waiting for most of the day, stepped up at the right time. He first welcomed the arrival of Lorist and others, then greeted Earl Richard, and then invited everyone to his castle to join him. A welcome banquet held for these nobles who went to the royal city to participate in the knight tournament.

Walker Town is very prosperous, and the number of residents is estimated to be 20,000 to 30,000. To Lorist’s surprise, the streets are lined with illuminated shops on both sides of the street, with signs and banners hanging everywhere to attract customers.

Perhaps it was because I saw Lorist’s doubts. The Viscount Edith, who accompanied him, said that since the second prince established the capital of the Iberian kingdom, Windbury, the first is the breakup of the trade route in the empire’s civil war. Second, the second prince disliked the stench of the cattle and sheep livestock market, and the livestock market in Windbury City was ordered to be closed by the second prince. In those years of war, no one was doing livestock business anymore. This is also helpless.

In the past few years, the second prince’s desperate toss, coupled with the stability of the situation, even if the territorial nobles of Winston Province had blood among the nobles, but the caravans from the four central countries came to purchase livestock still sometimes. See, just reopening the livestock market in King Windbury has become impossible. Nobody can bear a large sum of money to be exploited by the tax officials sent by the queen who asks for money to enter and exit the city. Viscount Eddies was keenly aware that this was an opportunity, and opened a livestock trading market in Walker Town, his own territory, and it really made his territory prosper.

Viscount Eddies smiled bitterly and said that although the current livestock market is not large and the transaction volume is not high, the most in short supply in the market is all kinds of fur and animal tendons. These are all high-priced military materials. There are so many shops processing and selling these products on this street.

Because of the vision of Viscount Eddies, Walker Town was prosperous and developed, but it also attracted greedy eyes. For this reason, he had several territorial wars with several lords, so he had no choice but to share the same reasons as Zhoubian. The profitable lord alliance of Walker Town protects itself. The same is true if the relationship with the queen is not good, because the queen sent her tax officials to demand that 70% of all commercial transactions be taken as a commercial tax rate, which was strictly rejected by Viscount Edith.

Lorist said in surprise: "The queen is going crazy for money, and such a request can also be raised..."

"Yes." Viscount Eddies was a little bit distressed: "Although the territory has developed and business prosperity has also made me rich, I have to put all this money into the defense of the territory for self-protection. Basically this money I just fought a turn in my own hands, and I have to spend a lot of energy training the territory garrison team, repairing my castle and the wall defense of Walker Town, so busy that I can’t even sleep peacefully. I really don’t understand how much I’m paying. Why do you develop the territory with great strength..."

Lorester can only express sympathy for Viscount Eddis’s complaint. If it’s a peaceful time, Viscount Eddis will definitely be able to do something. He has a good business vision and is very kind to the people. In Winston The nobility of the province has an excellent reputation. It's just that he is in troubled times now, and the better his family territory develops, the more evil wolves will be attracted, forcing him to invest all his wealth to form a territory defense team to protect himself.

The town of Walker was originally less than a hundred meters away from the family castle of the Viscount Eddies. However, due to the rapid development in the past few years, too many civilians who have settled down have to expand. Now Walker town is connected to the castle. Two more city walls were built in the open space, and four round stone arrow towers like bunkers were erected. Whether it is Walker Town or the castle under attack, the territory garrison can provide support at any time.

The family castle of Viscount Eddies also has a history of nearly a hundred years. According to the Viscount’s introduction, his grandfather took root here after he was awarded the title of Viscount for military service and became a nobleman in Winston Province. This castle was built by his grandfather. , And portraits of his grandfather and his father hung in the spacious hall.

Viscount Eddies mocked himself and said that his grandfather and his father were both famous golden knights, and his father was very famous in Winston Province. Later, he died while participating in the last expedition of the Fedford Business Alliance in the former Christian Empire. It was more than 30 years ago, when the Viscount was only sixteen years old when he inherited the title. However, his own qualifications are mediocre, and he is only two silver stars.

In the castle hall, Lorist saw the portrait of his grandfather with a white beard that Viscount Eddies said, and the portrait of his father wearing a knight armor. At the entrance of the hall, the Viscountess Eddies brought two sons, a daughter, and three nobles to greet Lorist and others.

Lorist and the others saluted the Viscountess and gave the gifts they had brought. Since the destruction of the Kingdom of Hanea Bada, Lorist has many precious gifts in his hands. Sure enough, the platinum necklace inlaid with sapphire was amazed by the nobles present. Although sapphire and platinum are precious, the nobles are more familiar with the goods. They are amazed by the craftsmanship of the craftsman who makes this jewelry~www.readwn.com~ because they don't know. In the Kingdom of Hanea Bada, slave craftsmen who are not skilled in their craftsmanship cannot survive.

After the Viscountess expressed her thanks, Viscount Eddies introduced his two sons and seven-year-old daughter to Lorist. His two sons, the eldest 24, are already a brave three-star silver knight, and the younger is 21, a one-star silver knight. The Viscount now puts the hope of becoming a golden knight on his two sons.

The three nobles are allies and neighbors of Viscount Eddies. The territory of Baron Klaus is a pasture, Baron Wade is a farm, and Viscount Schindler grows pasture. They have formed an effective livestock market with Walker Town. The complementary relationship has become an ally with the same interests.

At the welcoming banquet, Viscount Eddies asked Lorist to allow the four nobles to follow to the King City of Windbury to participate in the Knights Tournament. The main reason is that their relationship with the queen is really bad. Although they hope to bring their nephew with them to see it, because they are worried that their relationship with the queen will make the trip dangerous and they are unable to decide. If you can follow Lorist and his party, at least you don't need to worry about their safety, and you can withdraw from the southern city gate controlled by Lorist to the family territory under any circumstances.

Lorist thought for a while and agreed to Viscount Eddie's request, and the banquet went on until the evening before it ended.
