Chapter 141

Heishui river flows quietly, and a convoy drives south along the river bank.

In the luxurious and spacious carriage, viscount tnis sat in his seat and looked thoughtfully at the jockeys of the York family through the window.

"Tnis, didn't you say that the Duke of York was a real country aristocrat? Why did you stare at his cavalry?"

The female Knight winijong has a nose and mouth. Her skin color is like jade. She has long blond wavy hair. She stretches her waist. Her full chest and straight and slender legs stretch an attractive curve under her skin armor. Tenet's heart beat and he took back his eyes and didn't dare to look more. Seeing that tnis was unmoved, Winnie's eyes couldn't help showing disappointment.

Tnis naturally understood the wishes of the female Knights of the family, but he was determined to become a palace minister. In addition to his political achievements, his marriage was also an important political capital. Tanis had to live up to Winnie's affection.

Seeing the atmosphere in the carriage become awkward, the middle-aged Knight Romon said: "The York family is a standard local aristocrat. They are very different from our royal aristocrats. For example, the attendants and maidens of the York family have good martial arts skills, which is incredible to us. But it is normal for the local aristocrats. Don't you see that cavalry is yesterday's guard of honor Warrior?"

"Really! I didn't even notice." Winnie looked at the cavalry outside the window and said in surprise, "how could the Duke of York let the real warriors act as a guard of honor? Are they too poor to afford a guard of honor?"

"It's nothing strange." Said Viscount teness: "The Lord's attendants are the second sons or daughters of the vassal. Although they have no status as vassal, they have received the education of vassal since childhood. They serve the Lord and ultimately have to find a way out for themselves. Most of those attendants will become soldiers of urban defense, soldiers of Public Security Office and officials of tax office. If they can't become the personal attendants of the nobility, most of them will marry other vassal, she said We have to shoulder the burden of training our children, so it is also necessary to learn martial arts. "

Winnie frowned and said anxiously, "so the local leader is much better than us!"

"On the contrary." Tennessee raised his chin out of the window and asked, "Winnie, who do you think is better than the jockeys we brought?"

The cavalry outside the carriage is divided into two groups. The jockeys of York family are inferior to the cavalry brought by viscount in terms of equipment, mount and physique.

"The York cavalry can't compare with our cavalry, but it's the Royal Guard cavalry! It's not a soldier of our family." Winnie shook her head and sighed.

"It depends on what you say." Tenet smiled: "Our family doesn't even have cavalry. How can we compare with the York family? However, we are all nobles and royal families. To be exact, we are all vassals of the royal family. Our etiquette, attendants and maidens completely imitate the standards of the royal family. The soldiers of the royal family are soldiers, and the attendants are attendants. They won't be ministers and children like local lords Soldiers. The soldiers of the York family not only have to hone their martial arts skills, but also take care of their own fiefdoms during busy farming. Therefore, their attendants can't compare with the attendants of the king's capital, and their cavalry can't compare with the cavalry of the king's capital. It's better to concentrate on one thing than anything. "

"Indeed." Winnie nodded and asked suspiciously, "then why doesn't the local Lord do this?"

"Because the Lords are too poor." Tnis explained: "The Lords of the whole kingdom pay annuities to the Kingdom, so that the royal family has enough wealth to train special talents. Craftsmen, soldiers, painters, attendants, horse breeders, and even our kings and nobles are trained by the royal family. For example, we send SIKO family, scholars to serve in the court, knights to serve in the guard army, we serve the royal family, and the royal family gives us salaries.

Romon is a knight of the guards, and his annual salary is 8000 gold sols, while the Knights of the York family receive less than half of Romon's salary every year. The salary paid by the royal family every year is a huge expense. The Lords have been very hard to support their own army, and there is still money to cultivate special talents. "

Tnis turned his tone and said: "However, the York family already has the foundation to change their own pattern. This time, although they have suffered heavy losses, they have gained a vast territory and canonized all their high-ranking knights as vassal Lords. The most important thing is that in the next 20 years, the York family will not only not pay an annuity, but also get financial support from the kingdom. Now they have full-time chefs and create unique talents Special dining etiquette... Well, maybe in more than ten years, the prototype of a kingdom will appear. "

"Tanis, I still don't understand one thing. Although the number of ant people is appalling, they are brainless insects with monotonous and rigid tactics. The kingdom is fully capable of blocking the entrance of the Everglades. Why give the man horse hills to the York family? Isn't this training opponents for the kingdom?" Romon Knight spilt.

Tnis took a look at Romon. The idea of family Knights represented the views of many kings and nobles. Everyone coveted the territory of Renma hill, but he didn't know that it was a royal taboo for the kings and nobles to manage the territory and establish family power. Tnis felt it necessary to clarify the powerful relationship with Romon, so as not to be used by interested people and hinder his promotion 。

"The original strategic focus of the kingdom was to expand northward and annex the declining dodo kingdom. Unfortunately, the situation changed too quickly. His majesty Ryan died, Emperor Rand rose, and the Sassanian Empire no longer attacked dodo. The Kingdom's strategy changed from attack to defense. Compared with the newly acquired human horse hills, it is more important to develop a mature hinterland.

The York family's high-end force is very powerful, but their comprehensive strength is far from that of the royal family. Fighting against the ant people depends on their comprehensive strength rather than high-end force. Since the York family is willing to stick to the human horse hills, what reason does the royal family have to refuse? Hey, hey, even if the York family seals three entrances, what will they use to build other castles? There are not enough castles , the man horse hills are not fortified for the kingdom.

Of course, as long as Mrs. rose is one day, the royal family will not take tough measures against the York family. If the York family loses Mrs. rose, they will not obediently submit to the royal family. Although Mrs. rose is strong, everyone knows her problems. And the Golden Knights of the Auguste family emerge one after another. In the final analysis, noble blood is the foundation of the royal family.

I would like to remind you that we kings and nobles must keep up with the royal family. Only when the king is strong can our families have the opportunity to grow. Romon, you must not be bewitched by others and do your work safely. When the royal family needs, it will naturally give us territory, just like Viscount Sauron. "

Romon looked solemn and said, "I see!"

But Winnie said, "how strong is Mrs. Sylvia to make the royal family give in on her own?"

"Eight years ago, the Sassanian Empire launched the battle of Whitewater castle in an attempt to open the door of Dodo Kingdom at one stroke. As a result, the battle ended in the defeat of the Sassanian empire. There were no Golden Knights involved in the whole battle. Do you know why?" Tnis asked Winnie.

"Why?"

In the battle between human kingdoms, it is easy not to send out Golden Knights, but the battle of Whitewater castle is related to the survival of the Three Kingdoms, and it is impossible for the belligerents not to send Golden Knights. However, five silver Knights fell in the tragic battle of Whitewater castle, but there was no Golden Knight. Winnie hasn't been a knight for a long time. She really doesn't understand it.

Romon said in a deep voice, "in the battle of Whitewater castle, the Sassanian Empire sent 9 Golden Knights, our three kingdoms sent 7 Golden Knights, and Gambis sent Lord Baron and Mrs. rose. The Golden Knights of both sides had a competition under the witness of the church. Mrs. rose "Don't be so naive. How determined the Golden Knight is! The Rose Queen will not be controlled by her lover." Romon said coldly.

"Of course I know that." Winnie glared at Romon discontentedly and continued: "I mean, it's so simple to keep in touch with Viscount victor and try to get his favor."

Tnis thought for a long time and said with a smile, "very thoughtful!"
