Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 10 Surrender
The next morning, Olika woke up and found the letter on her pillow, and she was instantly frightened out of her mind. It goes without saying how scary it is to have someone sneak up next to you in your sleep. After opening the parchment and seeing what was written on it, I became even more frightened.
Even though Orica was the second son, he knew why Baron Lorient declared war with Baron Stewart, just to catch the other party off guard by relying on his strength.
The "Continental Convention" clearly stipulates that the Church of the Gods will not prevent but will not participate in wars between nobles.
The reason for not stopping it is because the force of war will not be produced if there is no war. How can the belief in the God of War be spread without fighting? Doesn’t strictly prohibiting war between nobles mean that the God of War will fall? If the gods dare to do this, the God of War will dare to pull it before they die. A few backs.
Naturally, the reason for not participating is to avoid turning the war between nobles into a war between believers, but no matter which noble occupies the other's territory, the beliefs of the original territorial residents cannot be forcibly changed.
Of course, if Baron Stewart wins this time, as time goes by, the descendants of the people who originally believed in the God of Order may gradually believe in the Dragon God. But if Baron Lorient wins, won't the belief in the God of Order expand? Well, since it is fair to both parties, the True God Church will not interfere.
Although there is a unified mercenary guild on the mainland, the branches in various countries are very independent due to communication difficulties. No one can afford to use the communication array of 100 gold coins once unless there is an emergency. The timeliness of relying on manual transmission of information is very difficult for mercenaries. It's too slow.
Therefore, the situation of uniformly releasing tasks in mercenary guilds basically does not exist. Ordinary mercenaries only come into contact with county-level guilds. They go there mainly to learn various mercenary knowledge and martial arts skills and to obtain mercenary levels. Then there is the purchase of weapons and equipment. After all, ordinary merchants are not allowed to sell weapons.
As for hiring, most adventurers and mercenary teams have fixed areas of activity. For example, there are some adventurers and several mercenary groups of different sizes in the Baron of Stewart, but they dare not participate in wars between nobles.
Let’s not mention the Thieves Guild. Their strength lies in acting in secret. For Baron Lorient, there is no need to waste money on a war that can be won openly. Moreover, the people active in this area are all low-level thieves, and even if they go for an assassination, they may not be successful. Even if they succeed, it is really inappropriate to have the reputation of someone who pays to kill someone.
The largest organization on the mainland besides the churches of powerful gods is the Mages Guild, which is even stronger than some weak churches of true gods.
Regardless of the fact that the number of mages is very small, there are less than thirty official mages in a county's mages' guild, half of whom are less than fourth level, but their strength is too strong.
If a fifth-level mage who has mastered the "Flying Technique" is willing to spend money to use the "Fireball Technique" scroll, he can use guerrilla tactics to destroy an army of several hundred people with one or two fifth- and sixth-level knights, let alone master it. A high-level mage with powerful group spells and a legendary mage who can destroy a city.
Because of this, Baron Lorient made a special trip to the Rennes City Mages Guild before declaring war and obtained their promise to remain neutral in the war. After all, Baron Lorient himself is a fifth-level mage, and his favor is more valuable than the dead Baron and Mrs. Stewart.
But he never expected that Baron Stewart's former mage friend would show up at this time. The probability of this is not much higher than that of an elf falling in love with a goblin.
But this kind of thing is really reasonable. Many mages like to go out for a walk from time to time. While broadening their horizons, they can also harvest some rare magic materials. So I caught up with this mage and wanted to see what his old friend had to say.
Olika immediately summoned everyone and circulated the letter to them, which also frightened them and made them at a loss. In their opinion, if the opponent can sneak into Orika's room, he can also sneak into their own room. Even a knight cannot sleep wearing armor, and he will die if he is hit by an attacking spell in his sleep.
However, surrender cannot be said by them, as it would appear disloyal and cowardly. Everyone felt that even if the other party went on a killing spree, they would probably start with Orika first, and they would probably have time to surrender by then.
Olika thought the same way. Although he would lose face by surrendering, he would save his life. He did not dare to bet that the other party would not kill him first next time.
The Baroness had no idea at the moment, and she might lose her life at any time in the shroud of fear. Earl Rennes' mediation could not quench her thirst, so she did not object after seeing Orika's look asking for advice.
Clearing her throat, Olika said: "Everyone, Baron Stewart has such a powerful wizard to assist in the battle. Considering the safety of our family members in the castle, I decided to surrender at the expense of my family's shame."
After hearing his words, others responded one after another.
"Mr. Olika, your kindness is admirable."
"Mr. Olika, we are humbled by your courage to take responsibility."
Since nothing can be done, surrendering is a good thing for everyone, and no one wants to die. Olika made up her mind and others would naturally prepare the steps for him to make him look better.
The rest is easy, just send a knight out to negotiate.
The place where Christine lives is the original manor of the Lorient family. Although the cost of all the facilities is not as luxurious as her own, it is still at the standard baron level.
"Miss, the Baron of Lorient has sent people, and they have agreed to surrender." Elena, the personal maid, came in to report.
"Ask him to wait in the living room."
Naturally, you can dress however you feel comfortable in the room, but when visiting guests, you must put on formal clothes.
Seeing Christine walking in with Liam Knight, the knight who delivered the message immediately stood up and greeted: "Good day, Miss Stewart."
"Good morning, Chevalier Jules Weber."
The knight who delivered the message was an old acquaintance. He was also the one who delivered the declaration of war last time.
"Miss Stewart, I brought a letter from Mr. Olika." He took out a piece of parchment.
Elena took it and presented it to Kristine. After opening it, it turned out to be a letter of surrender.
"Knight Jules Weber, I hope Mr. Orika can come here this afternoon to discuss surrender, and I promise again that he and everyone else will be treated accordingly."
"Thank you for your generosity, I will definitely tell Mr. Orica." Knight Jules Weber saluted.
The fact that he came to deliver the letter was just a formality. As long as any noble surrendered, it would not violate the "Noble Covenant". After all, in a world with a true god, no one would dare to violate the rules.
Therefore, Olika had already made preparations for the relevant matters. After receiving the reply, he took the housekeeper and his lords and knights to the manor in the town according to the agreed time.
