prince of europe in quintiles

Their city council wants to decide its own future and doesn't want to be ruled by a fraudster.

Among them, the performance of Bishop Kesleben of Erfurt was the most intense.

There were several local dignitaries who ran textile workshops standing beside Kessleben. The bishop said, "Since Keshihai and the others came, I have even given up my home. But Huo Teng has not come for a long time and has betrayed his promise. Now It's just for us to regain power, and it's best to even pay Huo Teng..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the guards running over with their tails between their legs and screaming: "Oh my God, Huo Teng is here! There are...thousands of people, so many horses and livestock, so many...so many..."

The guard was speechless.

He looked at the past from the guard post, and the great plain was full of terrifying warriors wearing battle armor and armor shining brightly. Thousands of people came pressing forward, and the black and white angel of death flag that was held high seemed to be dying Like the ravens in the world, it urges the coming of war.

Bishop Kesleben hadn't finished speaking, so he could only force himself to say a word in embarrassment: "The share that should be given to Earl Horten must be... sent in double."

"Hurry up, get the people down, let's meet His Highness Huo Teng quickly."

The people of Erfurt were blown dizzy by the swirling political storm.

But they learned a fact.

Huo Teng was able to rush to the city before the enemy with a longer distance and heavier baggage.

Huo Teng won.

……

eighth day.

Little Eckard led an army of over a thousand to the east of Erfurt, vomiting blood.

They were hungry, tired, and bruised, with their armor thrown by the wayside.

"Finally... I'm faster...faster than Huo Teng..."

Little Eckard sat on the skinny horse, vomiting blood and sighing with joy.

But his dream was instantly shattered.

The city of Erfurt was built on a bend of the Gera River, and the east of the city was connected to the east bank by two ancient road bridges.

Just as they arrived, rows of warriors in bright armor poured out from the bridge.

In the first row, chain armor, wearing a big helmet, holding a huge shield, heavily armored sergeants from the noble class pressed down like a mountain with spears on their heads.

The next row, although they were peasants, wore scale armor made of heavy and terrifying sea dragon scales. They also carried spears, like the cornerstones under the mountains, tamping up majestic peaks.

Then hundreds of peasant archers on horseback and rows of peasant archers outflanked the two wings, approaching them from left to right.

Then came the arrogant and moving monster knight in red feathers, and hundreds of knights with family crests, surrounded by a terrifying centaur giant beast knight.

Little Eckard stared blankly.

He couldn't understand why Huo Teng could organize hundreds of knights, but he himself only had 80 knights.

He couldn't figure it out even more, why Huo Teng flew hundreds of miles and arrived in the city faster than himself?

"I was wrong, I was so stupid... From the beginning, I was competing with an unmatched enemy..."

Chapter 250 VII But There is Still Room for Utilization

Residents of Erfurt hid in their homes and watched with bated breath as the military confrontation took place here.

Perhaps only a few decades ago, the old people who watched the past of the Eastern Expedition knew the horror of the mighty power of war.

Huo Teng smiled, calming Laura's belligerent mood, picked up the big iron horn and mocked the ragged army that looked like beggars: "Hehe, little Eckard, it seems that your father's most acclaimed horse eagle is not The inheritance is in your hands. Riding a skinny donkey with green pus in its mouth, how dare you slap your face and pretend to be the orthodox successor?"

The horse eagle is a unique war beast mount of the Slavs, the main god of the Slavs, the symbol of Peron, the god of thunder, and the power and authority that only Slavic chiefs deserve.When Eckard I was young, like his father, when he bravely conquered the Slavic lands eastward, he had won the choice of a horse eagle, which made the Slavic tribes in Meissenia dare not make trouble.

But little Eckard didn't have this horse eagle, not only no horse eagle, nor any reliable war beast.In his dilapidated army, there were only more than seventy knights, and half of them had lost their horses and could only ride donkeys or walk.

"You... Horten Bowenden, how dare you trample on the power of my Otto clan with your lowly blood?"

Little Eckard almost vomited three liters of blood when he heard the rolling thunder from the loudspeaker.But he looked at Huo Teng's army with bright armor, but he couldn't find anything annoying about Huo Teng.

His sensuality, many women?If you attack this point, it is equivalent to pointing at the noses of the vast majority of noble men in the empire.There is really no lethality. Isn’t it the nature of men to show off their sexual abilities and sexual partners?

Apart from that, the only thing Huo Teng is not known for is that he comes from a low background.

The Bowendeng family is not considered tall, they are the "only one veteran" ridiculed by the nobles of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

So Little Eckard took advantage of this angle to fight back.

Little Eckard's counterattack had long been expected by Huo Teng.

Huo Teng smiled slightly, and continued to fight back with the loudspeaker: "You are a bullshit Otto family. Your family is the subject of His Majesty Otto II and III, but I, Bo Wendeng, follow Otto the Great A real warrior. Three generations of the Otto family have lived in Göttingen as the Caesar’s court, and our family is the real Otto family. You are a bastard who has never followed the emperor. How can you accuse me?”

In terms of seniority, Huo Teng took advantage of it.

Göttingen was once the palace of Emperor Otto the Great, Emperor II, and Emperor III also came to live there. Huo Teng's grandfather was a veteran who went to the east to guard the border during the Emperor's era. It can be called the army directly under the palace.However, Eckard and his father rose up during the reign of Otto II.

In this way, although the Huo Teng family is humble, but because of Huo Teng's rise, they turned themselves into Otto nobles, barely a generation higher than the Eckardson family.

In this era, the status difference between the nobles under Otto and the non-Otto nobles was obvious.

"you……"

Little Eckard couldn't spit on Huo Teng, and Jiage was stepped on because of Huo Teng's sophistry. What's more, he couldn't catch up with his voice without a tin horn.Now even the knights on his side were a little shaken, little Eckard couldn't help vomiting blood three feet, and fell off his horse in front of the army formation.

"Good guy, these are the first three curses of Huo Teng, so angry and stupid Eckard?" Ms. Adelaide, who was quite literary, was riding a horse in a cloak, flattering Huo Teng grotesquely.

These nasty words made Jones and the other knights tremble behind their backs.

But this catchy escort poem instantly became a little song sung by everyone, boosting Huo Teng's reputation.

Little Eckard's army saw the leader fall off his horse because he was so angry that he vomited blood, and hurriedly grabbed him, scattered like birds and beasts in a panic.An army of thousands of people fled on both sides of the road.

Just as the knights were waving their battle flags and waiting impatiently for Huo Teng to give the order to chase after him, Huo Teng ordered Jeffrey who came to support him from the flank: "You lead your chivalrous knights, and the peasants on horseback with bows and arrows!" Brothers, go hunting for a while and come back immediately. Pay attention, you must move forward slowly, explore carefully, and don't fall into the trap of little Eckard!"

Laura pursed her mouth angrily, turned around and grabbed Huo Teng and glared at him, as if asking, "Why didn't you chase after him?"

In front of the whole army, Huo Teng hurriedly settled on Laura's back, and comforted Laura: "My big baby, look around, our soldiers are exhausted because of the forced march, and the horses, donkeys and mules are exhausted. The warriors in armor were sweating profusely, and the legs of the horses carrying the knights couldn’t stand still. If you really want to catch up, what if you encounter an ambush? Little Eckard is a smart ghost. If he deceives me to lure me, he will pull me back If I entered the ambush circle, wouldn't I turn prosperity into defeat and be ashamed?"

Laura's performance is actually the common thought of most knights.

But Huo Teng's words made the knights face another difficulty.

Although the vast majority of people believe that Eckard the Younger should not be so cunning as a noble knight, Huo Teng cited the most crucial evidence: "In the Battle of Toyshane, Eckard the Younger was defeated by 2000 troops. Nine thousand Thuringians. Where are the other two thousand?"

"correct."

Under Huo Teng's guidance, the knights seemed to light up their tactical thinking.

If the total force is [-], and there are more than [-] people in battle, all of them are dressed in rags and look like skinny ghosts, isn't it a feint to lure the enemy into deep?

At this time, Natur, the giant deer knight who came out of the city leisurely, provided a new clue: "I ambushed and defeated little Eckard in the forest ahead. Maybe this gave him inspiration."

The three clues are intertwined, and the knights of Göttingen shouted, "The earl is wise and powerful, and he is brilliant" and "Little Eckard is scheming, evil and ugly." '

This was a battle that did not spare any blood except for little Eckard. Although Huo Teng won, he only had one spoil.

Congratulations on getting the trophy [Skinny Horse].

[Slim horse: A war horse that will die violently in about half an hour, giving it to someone will take effect immediately, and it will have a miraculous effect on your enemies. 】

"Isn't this just a ticking time bomb?" Mihail frowned. Who should I give it to? 2

At the end of the battle, Huo Teng was thrown off the horse by the angry Miss Laura, and he could only ride with Jones.

"Don't fool me. I read the battle report, and most of Little Eckard's knights have been tortured crazy by him. It's not bad to be able to send a thousand troops. What are you thinking?"

"Fool, do you really think that I can't kill little Eckard? You look at this city with your dog eyes wide. Where does it belong to me? It's all occupied by those idiots from the city council." Huo Teng took Jones's hand, Smiled softly: "The whole city's income, but the **** only gives me [-]%! Seventy percent, that seventy percent is all in their pockets. I stand here like a beggar, take him [-]% of the income has to be paid for smiling faces. How can I control this city if I don’t give them some color?”

"You..." Jones couldn't understand.

But she figured out one thing. In Bowendeng's city, she could only get [-]% of her income?

How can this work?

And it is not without people who have seen through Huo Teng's plan.

Ms. Adelaide is just one of them.But she didn't see through, but when she took the initiative to help Huo Teng clean up the room last night, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a letter written in Latin on the table.It was written to Huo Teng by the dignitaries of the city council.

It clearly stated on it that they were only willing to give Huo Teng [-]% of the income, while Erfurt still maintained autonomy.

Today, when she found out that Huo Teng was deliberately keeping the enemy's army, she felt that Huo Teng's bad luck was coming.

So in the evening, the flamboyant Ms. Adelaide appeared in Horten's room with her cloak covered.

"Who?"

Huo Teng pushed the door open and saw Adelaide standing by the bed.

"Lord Earl, you must need me to help you appease those rampant bastards." Adelaide put his hands on his waist and put on a humble begging look: "Please give me some tasks, and I will help you control them." Erfurt."

"Hehe, tell me, what can you do?" Huo Teng raised his eyebrows, he really didn't expect Adelaide to have such a high IQ.

"The leader of your blacksmith couple who accompanied the army is actually also a killer, right? Please hand them over to me, and I will take them to the bishop and mayor Kessleben." Adelaide clasped his hands and asked Huo Teng pray.

Huo Teng stared at Adelaide, trying to figure out what this woman was thinking.

She took the initiative to get involved in politics more than any other woman Huo Teng had ever met, the only one similar to her was her cousin Connorsa.

"Amidst the political waves, I can only take my daughter adrift around the world, please take me in." Adelaide repeated what she had said to Huo Teng again.

Huo Teng pondered for a moment and decided to give it a try.

Left and right are just the mayor and the city council, and their status is not high at this time.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance. But there's no need to send Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt. I have a scrawny horse here, and it will go bankrupt in a few days. You can give it to Kessleben for me."

Huo Teng showed an ambiguous smile and looked at Adelaide expectantly.

Of course Adelaide accepted the order and happily went.

……

At [-] o'clock in the middle of the night, little Eckard was lying in the camp tent, with his mouth crooked and his eyes slanting, almost dying.

But suddenly someone sneaked up and shouted in a low voice outside the camp: "Count Eckard II! We are the representatives of the citizens of Erfurt, and we are here to bring you food and guide the way!"

Chapter 250: The Dagger of Conspiracy

In the evening, Ms. Adelaide stood in the room specially prepared for her in the monastery, standing in front of a small bronze mirror, carefully preparing to go out in the middle of the night to meet with the bishop.

Her maid is also a low-level nobleman in Metzburg, and she is tidying up Adelaide's skirt.Adelaide has a small box, which contains all kinds of precious dyed long dresses, all of which are the best items for Adelaide to show off at various banquets. Become a witch.

"Ma'am, you don't need to see Bishop Kesleben anymore, right?" the maid grumbled in a low voice, "It would be great if Lord Horten was here. With Earl Horten, we will have food, drink, and lodging."

"What do you know, I can't be worse than my cousin." Adelaide tried a pure white and conservative nun's dress, but it was treated at key positions, making it look slim and dignified.She didn't say the next sentence, but it lingered in her heart for a long time.She knew that she was slightly less beautiful than her sister.

Connorsa is a natural beauty who dislikes makeup and color, and looks like a supreme natural beauty. As a sister with similar appearance, Adelaide has no choice but to show her ever-changing beauty to win Huo Teng's favor.

The maid couldn't figure out the struggle among the court women, and felt that the mistress had become more and more obsessed recently.

Putting on a nun's dress, Adelaide combed her hair again and wrapped it in a solemn turban. The left and right sides were specially sewn into the shape of a moon, which made her look like a moon on her head.

This wasn't a costume that existed in this era, but Huo Teng told the tailor at home and asked her to sew it out ahead of time, only a few decades in advance, so it wasn't a big problem.

It was the bishop and mayor of Adelaide, Chris Leben, who was ordered to meet privately.

In ancient times, the unity of politics and religion and the feudal system often existed as one.Bishops as feudal bureaucrats are characteristic of Europe.It is different in the Islamic world, where imams cannot interfere in government affairs, and those who preside over political affairs are often scholars, consultants and governors born in the urban class.

As soon as Chrissleben entered the drawing room, he saw the dignified and sacred Adelaide, and felt awe at once.

A celibate widow with her daughter, the king's sister-in-law, who is honorable and can meet secretly, which is very good for him.

"Dear Ms. Adelaide. Thank you very much for coming. What a great addition to the house..."

Without waiting for the bishop to say more, Adelaide immediately expressed his intention: "I'm in a hurry. My lord bishop, I hope you can understand that I didn't stay by Huo Teng's side voluntarily. It's just that the king treated me badly, and Huo Teng wanted to occupy me again. For my body. I beg you, quickly find a way to let me stay, and Huo Teng can go home and not harass me."

"This……"

This is a good idea, but Bishop Kesleben is still afraid of Horten's threat.

"Don't worry. You're like this. If you convene the people of the city council today, everyone will unite and not pay Huo Teng. He has no food and grass to feed his livestock, so he has to run home."

The bishop felt that the lady's method was okay, but he didn't think about it.

Huo Teng has nothing to eat, he will not go home, he must eat the rich people in Erfurt before going home.

Seeing that the bishop still had concerns, Adelaide said sincerely, "The skinny horse next to me may not look good, but it was actually Earl Horten when he was hunting in the wild. Uh, the child born by...Miss Laura is actually very durable, and it is said that it can travel hundreds of miles a day, so I will pass it on to you to show my sincerity."

'Laura? Bishop Kesleben saw that giant centaur yesterday, showing off its power and smashing through the city wall to vent its will. It was too scary.
