"The wilfords?"
Wu asked.
On the continent of Searle, having a surname means having at least a little noble blood.
"Yes, the Wilver family is also a member of blue blood. James seems to be the second son of Baron Wilver. Unexpectedly, he formed a mercenary regiment to serve for Viscount Garcia! It must be an unbearable shame for old Wilver! You know, he's a staunch supporter of the count
Baron Terry has no access.
"Now what? Give him to Baron Wilver, or to Viscount Garcia? "
In traditional wars, prisoners with high status can get preferential treatment and extort ransom from each other.
Although James Wilver was only a mercenary commander, he was a noble second son and was not the only one in the Silver Eagle mercenary regiment.
The most important thing is reputation.
If the Viscount Garcia doesn't pay ransom for those who are loyal to him and fight hard to the last moment, they will betray their relatives and relatives. What mercenary and adventurer will be willing to serve him?
Therefore, there is no doubt that he will redeem James.
"Anyway, send it back to the barracks first!"
Baron Terry's face was full of embarrassment: "Baron Wilver is also my good friend. I want to give the disposal of James to Baron Wilver, William..."
Theoretically, James was still William's prisoner, even though Baron Terry could not dispose of him at will.
"Yes!"
Naturally, Wu Ming didn't make any trouble. He looked at the sky and said, "the count's cavalry has come to meet us. Let's go to the barracks together."
How could this Baron Terry not see that he meant to make friends with him?
Therefore, it is necessary to win over each other and enhance mutual friendship.
The relationship between the two families has become quite good in the past few years, and Wu Ming also needs such an aristocratic alliance.
At this time, seeing the cavalry of the count of blue mountain coming, they looked at each other and laughed. They both felt that the relationship between them was further.
The Earl of blue mountain's camp was very large, surrounded by a circle of wooden walls, dug trenches, and pointed sharp wooden tips at the enemy.
Just as soon as I entered the barracks, several barracks were scattered, and the flags of various families were hanging. It was a bit of chaos.
However, this is the normal situation of the aristocratic alliance, and Wu Ming believes that the Viscount of Garcia is not far away.
"My vassal and knight, are you here at last?"
Inside the main tent, the count of blue mountain stood up. He looked much fatter than before, but his eyes were still shining.
"I have brought a knight and hundreds of soldiers to serve you!"
Said Baron Terry.
"Very good!"
The count of blue mountain looked at Wu Ming and said, "my dear William, the wealth of your Carlos has spread all over the plain. What did you bring this time?"
"I've brought 400 people, all the weapons and equipment, and 50 horses!"
Wu Ming smile, not surprisingly saw the surrounding aristocracy of the commotion.
After all, with the previous 100 soldiers, his military strength has reached 500, more than a baron.
"Ha ha... William, you are my most loyal knight!"
With the coming war and the strong support, the count of blue mountain was very happy: "you are just in time. We are going to have a banquet, enjoy wine and food together, and then defeat Garcia completely!"
Wu Ming and Terry salute and take a seat, and immediately they are surprised to see that the beautiful black widow Tana is opposite them.
The other party's heart of the wolf mercenary regiment was incorporated by the count in the previous contest. After losing Alfred, Tana didn't get a knightly manor, but was awarded the title of Lord of honor. At this time, she came to fight with the heart of the wolf.
After seeing William, a charming smile appeared in the corner of each other's mouth, full and plump red lips swaying in the light.
Pop!
A roasted whole lamb was put in a huge tray, carried up by four cooks, and the aroma overflowed.
Around the roast sheep, there is a circle of fruits and vegetables.
The count of blue mountain got up, took out a silver dagger and cut meat for every nobleman and knight present.
This is his power and duty as the Lord, and represents his connection with the vassals under his command.
To dismember a whole sheep is also a great skill for the count of blue mountain. At the end of the day, he was out of breath.
However, it is worth mentioning that among all the knights, Wu Ming was the first to get his barbecue, and he was also the most delicious part of lamb chops, representing his important position in the count's heart.
Many aristocrats who saw this scene were full of thoughtful expression.
……
"William! It seems that the count values you very much. Maybe after the war, you will have to marry one of his daughters... "
After the banquet, Baron Terry followed Wu Ming back to the camp.
For the sake of closeness, they chose two neighboring camps, which were convenient for them to keep watch and help each other when something happened.
Of course, as far as Baron Terry is concerned, he has no role at all. He should pay more attention to getting Wu Ming's protection.
"In fact, I'm not against marrying a lady who has been granted a royal title, if the bride price she asked for is not so high..."
Wu Ming said solemnly.
"Well, unless you show more value in the war, the name of the Earl of blue mountain is not fake..."
Baron Terry's face was full of laughter. It was obvious that he had heard of Earl Blue Mountain's hobby for a long time.
"All right!"
After they had a chat with their boss and felt that their relationship had gone further, they began to talk about business. Baron Terry's face finally showed a sad expression: "I'm afraid the result of this battle won't be very good!"
"Well?"
Wu Ming looked at Baron Terry with a look of surprise.
This guy who looks like a dandy seems to be getting smart all of a sudden.
"It's not me... It's a relative in law of my family. She sent me a message in highland. The grand family won't wait for Viscount Garcia to fall. We need to be careful of the raids of highland knights when we fight against each other!"
"In laws in the Highlands?"
Wu Ming asked suspiciously.
"That's an aunt of our family. She married to the Highlands, where the Gregorian family, marked by Bauhinia and pigeons, is our in laws. They are very close by blood."
Baron Terry preached with some pride.
This is the noble's inside story!
Wu Ming slightly understood that in his previous life, it was difficult for the aristocrats of his family to continue to inherit their glory and interests for a long time, but these Western feudal nobles could!
Even if a knight family, as long as it exists for hundreds of years, it will always accumulate some cards and unknown relationship.
This is the so-called "inside information.".
"Did you inform the count?"
Wu Ming asked in a low voice.
"I've written to the count to warn him before, but... He doesn't seem to care at all!"
Baron Terry shrugged his shoulders. "But it doesn't matter. I'll be a prisoner again. Anyway, I've done my duty as a minister to the count."
Wu Ming looked at this rascal like guy and was completely speechless.
However, according to the common law among the nobles, even if these blue blood people lost their land, they would be treated in unison with their long history and blood ties wherever they went to Searle.
On the contrary, the Wallace family, which is a pure upstart, will only be despised by the upper class.
Therefore, it is necessary to say that what Baron Terry said really has some truth.
Even if the Earl of blue mountain was defeated or even deprived of his title, Baron Terry would not be in much trouble. At most, he would cut off his fiefdom.
"It's a pity... It's just for these old blue blooded aristocrats with complicated relationships. I don't want to have such preferential treatment... Most of the families in Fengying plain want to bite Carlos hard to get this fat meat!"
Wu Ming thought silently in his heart, but also strengthened his determination to seize the entire Fengying plain.
"The nobles are all grass on the wall. As long as they show their power of hegemony and guarantee their rights and interests, they will not care which one dominates Fengying plain!"
"And Baron Wilver, I've talked to him at the party, and he'll send for James in secret!"
Terry continued: "he is grateful for the kindness you and I have shown him, and he promises that he will send enough."
"Very good!"
Wu Ming had a slight smile on his lips.
Immediately, the voice of the guard came from outside the camp: "my Lord, Lord Tana, please see me!"
"It seems you have something else to do tonight!"
Terry's expression became rather ambiguous: "disturbing other people's wonderful night is to go to hell... Take advantage of it!"
He got up, saluted gracefully, and walked out of the tent.
Looking at the disappearance of Baron Terry's back, Wu Ming's impression of the nobility has changed a little. It seems that he is not a complete pig and moth, otherwise he would have died in the fierce inheritance and elimination competition.
Just as he thought so, a silver bell like smile suddenly rang out, accompanied by a fragrant wind blowing into the tent.
"Sir William!"
Tana came in. She was wearing tight clothes. She looked more and more mature and moving. She was like a peach. She was mouth watering.
"Lord Tana!"
Wu Ming nodded politely and looked at the uninvited visitor.
Of course, he knows that behind the beauty of this woman, there is a kind of extreme danger: "I haven't congratulated you on becoming a lord yet!"
"It's only in name but not in reality!"
Tana glanced at Wu Ming bitterly: "if you can, I think all the honorary Lords will not hesitate to use this title in exchange for a knight as a fief."
