Huo Teng smiled slightly.
Who knows, as long as the money is enough, Huo Teng has absolute control over them.
……
Göttingen Abbey.
Dean Skok, who had just talked to the emissary of the Bishop of Göttingen, wiped his forehead with sweat.
His and Howard's plan fails.
The Huo Teng he sent out had some shit luck and accidentally recruited reinforcements. He first defeated the orcs who besieged the Countess, and then defeated Howard's rebels, making his reputation step by step.
Now the county calls Huo Teng "lucky monk".
But Skork, who secretly helped Howard, became the biggest clown.
Now, Skok has ignored his grievances with Huo Teng, so he can only rely on Bishop Matt to force Conosha to admit his status.
Save your life first.
However, just as he was expecting to keep his power, news came from the monastery that was raining all night. A group of robber knights wandered around the monastery and just ambushed and took away a cart of wine.
Chapter 14 Look, who am I?
"What, they wrote me a letter? These villains!"
Skurk's small eyes gleamed with treachery and malice.
Wine is a specialty that only monasteries can brew, and most monasteries earn a lot of money from selling wine.A carload of wine was robbed, worth dozens of gold, and could buy many acres of arable land.
After taking the letter and looking at it, Skok was taken aback!
Yesterday, I reported to myself that the two children of my brother who were lost in the robbed Marian Manor were also taken away by these robber knights.
Skok couldn't help pacing the room.
When he heard that the manor had been robbed, he mistakenly thought that Marianne had betrayed him.With such a comparison, it seems that Marianne is not lying.
It is true that a group of robber knights raided the manor, searched the vault, and took the two children for ransom.Although some people gossip about Huo Teng, but Huo Teng should have rescued the countess at Gaogang at that time, how could he have time and troops to fight back?
This kind of robber knight is familiar with the road, obviously an old and habitual offender.Skok prepared a generous gift, hehe laughed.
Although it was heartburning to spend money, when he thought of Huo Teng and Conosha's expressions of extreme pain, Skok felt as happy as eating watermelon on a sunny day.
"Wait, brat, if you dare to kill my brother, we will never end this matter!"
Thinking about it this way, Skok prepared the escort to go out according to the agreed place.
……
Robber knights are also a specialty of the Middle Ages.
Although the Middle Ages was a period of poverty with less people and more land, due to insufficient productivity, the number of farmers determined that there were always a small number of nobles with fiefdoms.As a result, non-inherited heirs of various families, self-cultivating farmers and warriors in the countryside, and even dreaming farmers, all came out to become bandits, robbing limited land and wealth.
Of course, they call themselves chivalrous.
For a robber knight, the best thing is of course to have a rich abbey nearby, or a rich widow whose husband has just died, so that they can raise troops to invade the country.For the monastery, they can grab a big fortune; and the widow is even better, the leader of the robber knight will besiege the widow's castle, force the widow to marry him, and seize the widow's territory.Then become a noble with a fief.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Skok sent out a secret envoy to discuss the ransom with the robber knight.
"Your plan is perfect, my master." A young man dressed in fancy clothes saluted Huo Teng.
Geoffrey, the leader of the Chivalrous Masked Han.He was born into a noble family, but lost in the family struggle.Angry at this, he decided to act chivalrously and roam the rivers and lakes, and set up a group of chivalrous hideouts who specialize in robbing the rich and helping the poor.This group of wandering bandits is very prestigious nearby, but they are also being chased and intercepted because of this. They just moved from the Duchy of Saxony in the northeast to the Duchy of Lorraine last month.
Huo Teng handed over the scattered militia army to Connorsa to deter the nearby nobles, and then personally brought longbowmen and pilgrims to the monastery to ambush Skok.
Then, Huo Teng told the whole story.
He wants to lure Skork out and kill him.
On the one hand, it was because of the hatred between him and Skok, and on the other hand, it was because Huo Teng had no money now.
He used all the money he got to reward the subjects of Bowendeng Village, but on his own side, he had to pay a full 20 gold coins a month for maintenance.
Skork's vault must be extorted from the interrogation.
The two ignorant little boys have suffered so much that they dare not say anything now.Huo Teng promised them that he would let them go after extorting a sum of money.But the stupid boy didn't know, without a wealthy family, they didn't even know how they died.
In the evening, the spies in front came the news of Skirk's presence.
Huo Teng immediately put on a towel and told everyone to hide in the forest.
As dusk approached, Geoffrey and several attendants tied up two boys and waited in the shade for Abbot Skok.
He was still short and chubby, but in Huo Teng's view, he was no longer the dean who held the life and death power of the whole hospital, but a fat pig waiting to be hunted.
"Put my skill points into strategic skills." Huo Teng took advantage of this time to continue to point his skills into strategy.
[Looting Like the Wind Level 1 · Post-battle looting income increased by 5%]
Unexpectedly, what was pointed out this time turned out to be a sustainable growth skill.
Huo Teng gradually figured out a truth.The traits obtained in the battle increase attributes more, but they are one-time.As for the skills you point, although the attribute is added less, it can gradually increase with the upgrade, and in the end it is not inferior to the combat trait.
But having said that, Huo Teng's accumulated plundering buff is already +20%. Is it suitable for this kind of blackmail?
When he was feeling uneasy, Skok stood still.
He rubbed his hands and said cunningly: "Dear warriors, I brought you wine and white flour, which are special products of our monastery. This is a treasure that only the count can enjoy. In addition, I also offer an expensive ransom of one hundred gold coins, I beg you to release my elder brother's two sons. He just died heroically in battle, and he should not be a pitiful last. You are all knights with seven virtues, and I believe you can empathize with me."
These words were impeccable, if he hadn't personally killed his brother, Huo Teng might have believed it.
Jeffrey learned about Skok's character from Huo Teng, he laughed mockingly, and questioned: "How do I know if you have poisoned?"
Skok was actually prepared. He then took out two scrolls and said, "I would like to offer an additional one hundred gold coins. Please kill two enemies. How could you poison them?"
Oh?
The unexpected situation made Jeffrey turn his head to look at Huo Teng.
Huo Teng found out that he was exposed, so he simply walked out of the grass with his face covered.
"It seems that you are their leader." In fact, Skok had already noticed that these people's eyes frequently shifted to the grass.
"That's right, tell me, who do you want to kill?" Huo Teng said gruffly.
Skok sent a wagon full of wine, meat and flour.
Then he said: "The first person I want to kill is the countess who hurt my brother. She is despicable and shameless. She suppresses the real important ministers, uses traitors, forces my brother's cavalry to rebel, and supports justice. And the one I want to kill The second person, I am ashamed to say, he is my subordinate. He is ignorant and only likes to come and go with the bandits. He led the bandits and shamelessly attacked my brother, causing the entire Göttingen County to once again Occupied by a crony countess. Just..."
Huo Teng couldn't take it anymore.
This bastard fat man even talked nonsense, slandering the two who fought back righteously as bad guys.
He unbuttoned his mask and looked at Skirk coldly: "Look, who am I?"
Chapter 15 Havoc at the Abbey
"what?"
Surprised, Skok couldn't dodge in time, twisted his waist, injured himself and fell down.
When he saw Huo Teng, he couldn't help but turn pale with fright: "You...you dare to share a room with robbers, you are no longer an ordinary hooligan! I want to apply to His Majesty the Pope to excommunicate you! You, you, you... ...From now on, you are the most evil bastard, I...don't come here!"
Holding the spear upside down, Huo Teng approached Skirk step by step.The latter not only broke his voice in fright, but even squirmed and tried to escape backwards.
It's a pity, how many of Skok's servants serve faithfully?
The whole monastery was turned into a mess by Skok, and the upright people had already transferred to other counties, or simply practiced in the wild.The consequence of the rampage of flatterers was that when Skok turned his head and wanted to run away, all he saw was the scene of the servants kneeling to Huo Teng.
The thumping servant knelt on the ground, still in the posture of throwing himself on the ground.Don't look at how much Europeans boast about freedom and equality. In fact, in the Middle Ages, Europeans themselves were the least free and equal civilizations.Christianity has boasted about the abolition of slavery for thousands of years, but the countries developed under their civilization have actually created the global slave trade, which has to be said to be a sharp irony.
"We are willing to be your slaves! Don't sell us to the border of Saxony or Meissen!" The servants put their heads on the ground one after another, begging Huo Teng for forgiveness.
Göttingen County, where Horten is located, is located at the junction of later France and Germany.Saxony and Meissen are located along the Rhine River in the north and east of Germany respectively.These two areas have a large number of pagan slaves due to their proximity to places where pagans lived.On the surface, the local church claimed that there were no Christian slaves, but in fact a large number of Christians were trafficked into local manors.
For the sake of profit, who cares about shit beliefs?
Seeing Huo Teng approaching step by step, Skirk panicked.
He changed another speaking strategy and started to play the status card: "Huo Teng! Huo Teng! I will give you all the manors under my name, can we reconcile? Don't you know how I treat you? You are also a person of status, that little girl in Connorsa, she is sweet in her mouth, but in fact she will not give you any benefits. How generous I am, I will give you all my wealth! You let me live... ..."
Just when Skok kept begging for mercy, Huo Teng had already stepped on him.
Holding up the spear high, Huo Teng joked: "Where is the gate of the treasure house in your wine cellar?"
Skok gritted his teeth and put on the most obsequious smile: "Under...under the third wall, under the middle piece of wood."
Sure enough, he lied to Marianne, using the name of the wine barrel, but actually hiding it under the humble wood.Those logs are used to make wine corks.
However, just when Skok thought his deception was successful, the spear in Huo Teng's hand suddenly fell and stuck straight on his shoulder!
"Ouch!"
The painful Skok was like a fat big white pig, rolling on the ground and begging for mercy.
Huo Teng looked at Skok's miserable rolling with great interest, and not only laughed, "If there are any other tricks, just tell them."
After Skok screamed and was tortured continuously by Huo Teng, he probably realized that he would die today, so he taunted miserably: "Do you think I'm done? Do you think no one in the principality will deal with you? You Do you think there is no one behind me? You kill me, you will never know who is targeting you and Conosha! Hahahaha, if you... Ugh!"
Still with this set of weird words, Huo Teng directly sent the spear into Skok's neck, and a stream of blood spurted out four or five meters high. , and finally died under the skin of his mouth.
In this way, it means that the Viking brothers in Göttingen County were wiped out by Horten in one fell swoop.
But after the war, how should the territory be allocated?
Huo Teng knew that there were people above Skok watching over him.Each family has countless illegitimate children and relatives vying for inheritance.As the son of an ordinary knight, he has no inheritance rights or claims, so he is naturally at a disadvantage in the competition.
This is the cruel and merciless Middle Ages.
Everyone is judged by blood, no matter how hard you try and how successful you are, you can't compare to the bonus that your father's sperm gave you.
At this time, the system sent an appropriate reminder.
[Main task: A leaky house can still shelter from the wind and rain.You, who were born ordinary, solved the troubles of the whole county.But how do you match earnings with merit?Requirements: Obtain any type of fief.Reward: One random elite affairs officer. 】
The so-called elite affairs officer is someone who completely transcends the existence of the leader of ordinary arms.They have all kinds of extremely high skills and characteristics, whether they are managing the territory or fighting on the battlefield, they are all first-class players.
"Hmph, good news. Jeffrey, clean up the battlefield, it's time for us to surprise the monastery."
Huo Teng got up and motioned to the chivalrous concealers to kill these servants together.
……
In the evening, Huo Teng and the chivalrous concealer appeared near the monastery together.
Horten's plan was simple.
That is to deliberately create a big enemy to deter the nobles in the whole territory.
Do you want to give me territory?Alright, then I won't do anything and let these robbers rob and kill all your homes!
It is also the so-called strategy of raising the bandits' self-respect.
For the self-respect of this supporter, Huo Teng is going to do something big.
Grab the cultural highlands and monasteries of Göttingen!
With such a commotion, not only Göttingen County, but the entire Duchy of Lorraine will cast their sights on Göttingen.
Although in the process, Conosha will lose a lot of face, but as long as more raptors enter the game, the local local snakes will have to fight.Only in this way can Huo Teng's achievements be valued.
The night light was dim and it was past 5 pm.
The monks in the entire monastery have had their supper and are doing their last chanting before going to bed.
From time to time, guards at the door nervously raised torches, asking when Skok would return.
At this time, there will be a dung truck to transport the dung out of the monastery.Europeans at this time have not yet learned how to compost human manure.All their farmers knew was that it seemed that the dung of livestock could be used for fattening.The agricultural grain yield is extremely low, even to the pitiful point of harvesting three per mu of land.
Huo Teng turned his head and raised his chin, and the chivalrous concealers rushed forward, kicked the dung truck over the door to prevent the guards from closing the door, and then blocked the entry!
Huo Teng, who is most familiar with the monastery, immediately led people into the church of the monastery, swept away the gold and silver vessels on the altar, then broke into the dean's bedroom and study room, and locked the large amount of wealth inside. Cash box snatched.Then there are long blankets, silks, spices, etc. in the storeroom.In the end, Huo Teng kept an eye out and stole one of the most important items of the monastery, the coin template for making silver coins!
After such a commotion, Huo Teng left calmly, while the monks were shivering in the dormitory, still holding their Bibles.
[System prompt: The looting income is equivalent to 632 gold coins, do you want to exchange it? 】
