These robber knights are often accused by the church, or the chamber of commerce and craftsmen's guild.And if the local lord has a good relationship with him, he will issue a pardon order to free him from legal sanctions.If a pardon cannot be obtained, a choice will be made between paying a fine, deportation, or arrest and imprisonment.

All in all, robber knights are not real robbers, everyone has their own ecosystem.

[Upgrade, available skill points: 1]

Huo Teng saw the hint, but he was not ready to put it into the strategic skill line.

For the three lines of personal, army, and strategy, Huo Teng believes that it is time to point to the personal line.In the future, Huo Teng will have to attend banquets and go to battle. If he is not good at martial arts, it will not be fun to be captured on the spot.

So this time, Huo Teng chose to increase his martial skills.

[Level 1 Killer Warrior: Personal Martial Skill +10%]

In an instant, Huo Teng's body was not only stronger, but he also awakened to the advanced use of swordsmanship, spears, bows and arrows without a teacher.Of course, the system gives talent and a quick guide.Right now, he is still relatively immature, and after a period of training, he can fight against a knight without falling behind.

"Kill him?" Widow Amelia caught up with a cold expression.The consequences of her husband's murder have already made her murderous.

Seeing Jones, who was like a bright sun, and Amelia, who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and as sharp as a sword, Henrik, the robber knight, couldn't help begging: "Dear ladies, don't kill me! I...I'm just Pawn of Earl Schmaelen von Nossenburg of Millhouse, I... I can tell you his plans. Schmaelen is raising a temporary force of robber knights for the invasion of Göttingen County. He promises us, as long as If successful, all the knights in Göttingen will be expelled and the territory will be re-divided for us."

Jones and Amelia snorted at the same time.The two beauties stared at Henrik as if killing their father and enemy.

Huo Teng was also very cold and angry.

In the Middle Ages, invasions were of two types.One is to seize only the territory directly under the lord, leaving the original vassals intact.In this regard, most vassals can accept de jure conquest.

The other kind of invasion is very abhorrent, which is to deprive the knights of the original territory of all the territory, and then centrally distribute it to their subjects.A typical representative is the Duke of Normandy, William the Conqueror.This descendant of the Vikings confiscated the land of more than 2000 large landlords across the country and transferred it to about [-] or [-] barons.

Those unlucky landowners had no choice but to flee overseas and rely on adventure to survive.Many people went to Constantinople and joined the Varangian Guard, replacing the original Rus and becoming the new main force of the Varangian Guard.

The second kind of invasion made the nobles hate it.

Now, for the sake of his own free city, Huo Teng also wanted to fight Shimalun to the death.

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Henrik hurriedly raised his hand: "I...I have a way to help you find the marching route, just let me go back! I can swear in the name of God."

"So you're pretty disloyal."

Huo Teng snorted coldly.

There is no need to think that Henrik will go back on his word.Because the pious medieval man swears in the name of God, and almost never breaks his covenant.This almost stupid paranoia was characteristic of medieval man.It is difficult for modern people to understand.

"I just heard that I can get the territory, so I came here." Henryk smiled obsequiously.

"Okay, pack your men and horses, go back and tell Schmalen that Göttingen County has nothing to do with him." Huo Teng thought for a while, and suggested on a whim: "If Shimalen has doubts about you, you can trick him , I can still discuss."

Henryk naturally agreed.

So, Henryk yelled at his subordinates, leading thirty or forty people to fight where they came from and where to go back.

[Battle search income: 20 gold coins]

After the battle, Huo Teng had a small income.The wealth of the robbers is not valuable, but the valuables are dozens of slaves.These people are enough to sell another fortune.

"Aren't you afraid that he will miss the appointment?" Amelia clutched the sword tightly.

"I don't care if I miss the appointment or not. If Schmalen's plan is clear, we can unite internally."

Huo Teng let Henrik go, just to prepare for the rumors.

To be precise, it is not a rumor.It was just to tell the knights in Göttingen County what Schmallen was going to do.

In terms of protecting their property, the Gottingen knights will show great combat effectiveness.

After all, they really have a lot of cattle and fields.

Chapter 32 New Troops!

Horten led the cavalry back.

The continuous galloping horseshoes brought up the midsummer mud, and even a group of poor horses was astonishing enough as long as they were in numbers, not to mention the cavalry on horseback, who carried all kinds of trophies.Whether it was a corpse or a bound slave, it was enough for Huo Teng to show off his strength to the surrounding villagers.

After defeating the bandit knight and deliberately showing off in the surrounding villages, Huo Teng's reputation has grown a bit.And from the "lucky boy" in the mouth of the nobles, he became a "knight with both civil and military skills".

Those villagers who participated in the free market also strengthened Huo Teng's belief that the city is unbreakable.

This era is pure, and a belief can make people remember for a lifetime.

When the army retreated to Bowendeng Village, Huo Teng saw his old father Ma Di standing on Cheng's head looking at him from a distance, feeling a little complicated.

"I won't go back. You take half of the slaves away and let my uncle supervise them to repair the castle." Huo Teng stopped on his horse and said to Amelia.

There are only three knights left in Bowendeng Village, Amelia and two distant relatives. She looked at Jones, whose expression suddenly became ugly, and nodded her sincere thanks: "Actually, we didn't pay much this time, but... ... Anyway, thank you very much."

With that said, the knights and followers of Bowendeng Village took half of the slaves and walked back to their village.

"Really, give her half, what about you?" Jones pinched Huo Teng's waist slightly dissatisfied.

"Me? I don't need it. Take the remaining half back to the manor." Huo Teng held Jones in his arms with his backhand, and said with a smile, "After all, it is the territory left by my brother, so please take care of it. It's not like you here His estate is so rich."

"What if the people in the church find out that they are using slaves?"

Huo Teng was slightly taken aback, thinking of the covetous Dean Andreas, and then said thoughtfully: "When the time comes, we will see what you do. Just say they are serfs. If you press them again, you will accuse the monastery of serious corruption. There are many The monks even engage in homosexuality and hurt each other."

Huo Teng did not lie here.

Human nature is inherently immutable.The closure of sexual desires allows teenage boys to gather together, and they can't see half of women. The consequence is that boys fall in love more commonly.Not only unhygienic, but also distorted human nature.Medieval frescoes were very bold, and these things dared to daub on the walls.

In addition to boys, there are men and women in the wild, women and monsters, etc., which modern people can think of, and medieval people may have drawn similar ones.

Moreover, Huo Teng really came out of the monastery, knowing that in recent decades, the voice calling for church reform has never disappeared.Reputable priests in many places are trying to establish new types of monasteries to prevent common aristocrats seizing church property, inferior and uneducated bishops and priests monopolizing promotion channels, and priests marrying and having children to inherit church property.

What's more, the last pope was the pioneer who tried to launch the reform of the church.

It's a pity that he died a miserable death. He was dug out of his five sense organs, exiled to a monastery, and died within a year.

The seat of the Roman Catholic Church, the city of Rome is a city full of killers and an alliance of noble families.If the pope elected from other places dares not to listen to the nobles in the local area, he has to weigh his own death.

According to Huo Teng's observation, it has not yet reached the middle and late Middle Ages when the pope stomped and the European continent trembled.

The pope is still just a plaything of Roman noble families, a puppet who has nothing to choose.Even if there is real power, there are only two ways, either to rely on a powerful king in other places, or to form an alliance with the local Roman family.

Go out in the morning and return victorious in the afternoon.

Huo Teng's return gave Conuosha more confidence.

But what made her unhappy was that the relationship between Huo Teng and Jones seemed to be too good, and the two actually rode back to Göttingenburg side by side.

For Conosha, she hoped that their marriage would be a transaction-based business rather than a real spark of love.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at her snow-like beauty in the mirror, Conorsha clenched her fists and cheered up: "Believe in yourself, you can do it."

Connorsa quickly found a more useful position among a bunch of official positions.

ranger.

Since the Middle Ages, the lords generally believed that the mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, and swamps in the leading drama were exclusive properties, so these places were not open to the common people.For example, in the forest, farmers can go in to collect firewood, but if they cut down trees, they will be punished.

Therefore, in addition to the guardianship of people, the guardianship of forests is also a power that can be rented out.

Conosha occupies about 42% of the forests in Göttingen County, most of which are concentrated in the north-central part of the territory.These forests can be hunted, logged, and have various outputs.

The countess thought that handing over the guardianship of the forest to Huo Teng was a good reward.

Soon, Huo Teng and Jones entered the meeting hall together, and Conosha, surrounded by several attendants and the knights of the inner palace, announced the reward to Huo Teng.

"Huo Tengqing, thank you for your dedication to Göttingen County. I will appoint you as a ranger to guard my forest."

[Unlock official position: Forest patrol officer. 】

Unlock common arms: [Forest Axe]

Basic arms: Forest Axemen (the basic number is 40 people, the monthly salary is 3 gold, and the recruitment cost is 12 gold. The large axe infantry who lack armor lacks discipline just like armor. They will neither line up strictly nor defend The function of the enemy. There is only one axe, and the enemy will fight to the death. Traits: Combat bonus in the forest, large ax armor piercing attack)

Unlock excellent units: [Ranger]

Excellent arms: Rangers (40 base members, 6 gold per month, 24 gold for recruitment. Robin Hood never appears out of thin air. These ordinary people who love freedom and hate the powerful, hone their shooting and fighting skills in the forest, Relying on the accumulated wealth, you can obtain decent armor with amazing combat power. Traits: suitable for both near and far, and will not be punished by melee combat.)

Unexpectedly, the two types of arms that the ranger unlocked for Huo Teng were both unique types with their own characteristics.

The first forest axe is an obvious field unit, which is only suitable for use in the forest.If they were on the plains, they had no armor and couldn't even stand in formation, their morale would collapse after a few salvos.But if it can be used properly in the forest, it is also a great surprise soldier.After all, this is the first armor-piercing unit that Huo Teng has seen.

The second Ranger was even more surprising.Ordinary long-range troops, when fighting in close combat, have melee penalties, and the damage is directly cut in half.However, the ranger not only has a good range and sufficient damage, but also can fight in close combat and has good armor. It can be said to be a very good unit.

With these two guarantees, Huo Teng's plan is more sufficient.

So at the meeting, Huo Teng pretended to mention it casually: "Speaking of which, the robber knight who was beaten away by me claimed that he would attack our Göttingen again with Earl Millhouse and carve up all of our territories. Maybe Just kidding."

Chapter 33 Send my wife to blow on Huo Teng's pillow

It turns out that most people have nothing wrong with their hearing.Pretending not to hear is just not wanting to hear.

When Huo Teng "accidentally" thought that Schmallen might launch an invasion to seize the territory and expelled all the knight families in Göttingen County to other places, everyone pricked up their ears, and those ears were smarter than rabbits.

The extremely beautiful countess also shook her hand, and the wine spilled on the table.She opened her mouth wide, surprised and ecstatic, and even couldn't suppress her joy: "My brother, Schmallen, is delusional...to take away all the territories in Göttingen County?"

"Of course. Robber Knight Henrik, and other robbers said so. And I need to remind everyone that recently, there have been many non-native robber knights in our southeastern forests, which has made many people overwhelmed." Disturbance." Huo Teng was holding a glass of wine, wandering around in the crowd, inadvertently spreading anxiety.

On communication, spreading anxiety is more mobilizing than spreading happiness.

If, like ordinary lords, you keep claiming that 'the advantage is mine' and 'as long as we concentrate our forces, we will win if we go up in a wave', the result is actually likely to be that everyone holds 'I won't go' , I can do it', but if you don't go, I won't go, and you will lose thoroughly.

When William the Conqueror landed in England, if the big landowners in England could really abandon all unity, the Norman army with less than [-] people would be an opponent of millions of Englishmen?But no, everyone is busy standing on the sidelines and choosing a team to fight in the civil war.

Therefore, even though the corners of Conosha's mouth were splitting from laughter, Huo Teng still pretended to be anxious: "I heard that there are copper mines in Millhouse City, they must be very rich?" "Millhouse City is in In the basin, they must be easy to defend and difficult to attack, right?" "I heard that there is peace and wealth, rich and many villages, they can gather more troops."

After some anxiety instilling and training, many people began to worry and didn't know where to put their hands and feet.People who like drinking wine the most on weekdays are unwilling to eat, and they are unhappy with their wine glasses.

Without him, Huo Teng's methods are a bit out of date for them.

A bit unacceptable.

Many rough knights couldn't even read words, let alone Horten's gossip about words.

Of course, the reason for all this is still Schmallen's whimsical attempt to snatch all the territory of Göttingen County and redistribute it.

Distribution is a matter of life and death.

William the Conqueror dared to play with the distribution, which was based on the fact that the old English nobles fell apart, fought wars of secession for decades, and competed with the kings of Denmark and Norway for the crown and destroyed the country several times.Moreover, his throne has not always been stable, it was overturned once a few years ago.

You Schmallen von Nossenburg, you are a sender, dare to try to confiscate the territory of all the knights in Göttingen, and play distribution?

Just when all the knights were anxious and were about to talk to Huo Teng about joining forces, abandoning old and new hatreds, and beating Schmalen back to his hometown with an old fist, Huo Teng signaled Connorsa to end the meeting quickly. Lose.

Although she was so happy from ear to ear, Conosha quickly detected Huo Teng's intentions by relying on her brother's resourcefulness.

If we talk about cooperation at this time, it is the lord who asks the lower-level knights to cooperate.This puts Conossa at a disadvantage.

If we don't talk about it at this time, we can talk about it before the next battle under the pressure of anger. The knights are begging the lord, and Conosha will have the upper hand.

All in all, the Cavaliers disbanded sullenly.

Moreover, the Knights of the Inner Palace were also repaired and disbanded, and the knights with territories in the family all went home to help defend.

This made Göttingen County once again face the cold wind of the enemy.People who have just experienced a difficult summer battle, hastily put the grain in the warehouse, and have to hold a pitchfork to prepare for the autumn famine in the training ground.

Knight Wagner, as a relatively well-known figure in the current territory, his territory happens to be in the northeast of Bowenden Village, and it is also the first place to be invaded.He wanted to urgently urge Kang Nuosha to help defend, but he didn't want to pull himself off and ask Huo Teng to borrow troops.

In fact, everyone knows that Huo Teng is very popular with the farmers. A few days ago, he called dozens of farmers on horseback and drove the robbers back to their hometown.

But no one was willing to lower their faces and beg Huo Teng.

Besides, Huo Teng will definitely not agree.He had to defend Bowenden Village, Liberty City and Jones Manor, as well as the capital Gottingenburg, and his troops were stretched.

Anxiety tactics were initially successful, and many knights began to join forces in private, hoping to have a decisive battle with Schmalen in the field.

Without him, it would be embarrassing if they were surrounded and defeated one by one.Many crude castles cannot sustain a long-term siege.Because I didn't receive much food at all this year.

But in series, in series, there is no one who takes the lead to organize.

At this time, a person stood up.

That is Dean Andreas, who is worthless except for the aristocratic contacts, but still pretends to be lofty.

Although the monastery is the property of the church.However, because the local nobles often stuffed their children into it, the church land began to be hereditary, and then it was counted as part of the wealth of the noble family. Therefore, in Schmalen's plan, it was accidentally revealed that he wanted to transfer the monastery to him. illegitimate son of another priest.

Andreas, on the other hand, honestly sent him back to the principality's capital.

But for the latter, he has no real estate wealth in the capital, so what's the use of having a big face?Mrs. Sharra appointed to divorce him.

That's why Andreas realized that he was a fool.

Patronizing to help Grand Duke Theodoric win Conosha, but forgetting the Northumborg tribe in the neighboring territory is also a waste of fuel.
