In addition to the elite earth knight Vader Drywood, Liszt also selected four earth knights. Bookmark this site┏Ⅹ④③⑨⑨┛Counting the three selected by the earl and the fifteen selected by the viscount, there are eight old and weak earth knights left for the barons to choose.

in this way.

This is the first time to recruit knights, and that's it.

The loyalty of these knights cannot be guaranteed, and their future depends on their performance. As for those knights who choose to pay the ransom, they are simply bound. But there is no need to worry, the knights are a relatively trustworthy group on the battlefield.

Being a prisoner is nothing.

You can still eat, drink, sleep, and even participate in banquets, as long as you pay enough ransom when the time comes.

Nationalism did not develop in this era, and the enfeoffment system led to a lack of national color, so the most fanatical nationalism and patriotism did not germinate. The wars of knights are all for the benefit of each other, and it is wrestling between nobles.

Similar to wrestling each other's wrists.

The victor will not abuse the captives, so the captives naturally don't have to think hard about escaping. They should eat and drink, and wait for the family or the lord to send the ransom, so they can go home happily.

As long as you don't fight to the death.

The battlefield is as leisurely as a vacation—of course, once defeated, the captives bleed profusely to redeem themselves.

Watching the five earth knights who had just chosen their allegiance while resting in the castle, they soon became one with the knights of the flower team and raised their glasses to drink. Liszt still finds it ridiculous that such a serious matter as war is like a game to the knights.

Maybe it's really just a game, a game about plundering... Attacking the Sardinia area itself is coming to plunder resources and will not occupy land.

He picked up the cup and took a sip, responding to a new loyal earth knight who toasted him.

Suddenly he felt that this was fine, if one day he was defeated in battle, he could also pay a ransom to redeem himself, and it would be best if he could not die.

My lord, Vader has a request, I don't know if you will allow it. Vader Drywood suddenly saluted solemnly, and what he said was snake language.

The Sardinian Bay area is close to the Kingdom of Iron Ridge, and borders the Cock Pheasant Hills. Many knights can speak both wind language and snake language.

Speak, Vader Knight.

On the eve of the war, my family just moved, and I let them hide in a village in a nearby town. I want to ask my lord to allow me to pick them up, and I will return to the Grand Duchy of Sapphire with my lord after the war.

Allegiance to the knight's family.

Of course, this must be allowed, after all, with the fetters of family members, loyalty will not be too bad.

At least when the knight is defeated, he will choose to pay the ransom with a high probability-provided that he has enough money to pay the ransom. It is precisely because the local viscount has died in battle, and there is no lord to pay the ransom for them, these civilian land knights without titles will easily choose to be loyal.

You can't be stubborn and wait for death.

Mr. Marcus, I need you to take someone on a trip and ask Vader to write a letter to bring back his family. Then let them leave here by boat and return to the territory with the serfs. Liszt did not let Vader hadn't trusted enough to pick up his family himself.

He was going to pick up the other party's family and send them to Heima Island first.

In this way, Vader, who has no worries, can quickly integrate into the Cavaliers team.

Then, he looked at the four earth knights again: Where are your family members, do you need to pick them up?

The three earth knights revealed the location where their family members hid, and only one earth knight hesitated: Master, I am an illegitimate child, and I am not valued in the family. They are just a group of strangers to me. I His mother, who was a serf, has died.

In my territory, illegitimate children will not be an obstacle. Liszt raised his brows, You are still young, after you follow me, opportunities to change your destiny are everywhere.

The Earth Knight immediately knelt down on one knee: I am willing to serve you!

Look very excited.

Once, as the second son of a nobleman, he was not valued, and was even suppressed. The lords he followed also ignored him, and it was almost hopeless to change his fate. So after the defeat, he couldn't even pay the ransom. He thought that in this life, he would probably be sent to work in mines and workshops until he died.

I didn't expect to be able to choose to renew my allegiance. This is simply great news-the former Grand Duchy of Sapphire did not allow prisoners to be taken in. They had to pay a ransom or be imprisoned as hard labor.

more importantly.

The lord didn't even care about the identity of his illegitimate son.

...

Weapons, armor, utensils, food... After the materials paid are counted, they are immediately apportioned to each knight according to his military achievements.

Of course, these materials will not be divided up now, but will be transported to a small port town by the sea. There, there will be many mercenary groups and second-hand dealers coming to trade - gems, crystals, jade, and metals are all part of the trade, and of course the serf trade is also part of it.

Father, I don't need other supplies, I just need serfs. Liszt's purpose was very clear.

I will ask Captain Mickey to convert all of your spoils into serfs, and the merchant ships brought along will also allocate part of them to transport the serfs for you.

Thank you father.

Don't forget to pay the gratuity for the lease.

You have to give me a discount, at least 20% cheaper than my uncle's merchant ship.

Ten percent, no more. If you are not my son, I will pay a premium of 30 percent.

Okay. Business talks between father and son are also a normal state among nobles. After all, Liszt has been entrusted and belongs to an independent individual.

He asked Marcus to leave the knight squad and take charge of the serf trade alone.

Mr. Marcus, the serfs sent by the mercenary group can be accepted as long as they are not sick. Even disabled serfs, as long as they have some skills, they can be sent to Heima Island.

My lord, I understand!

...

The serf trade has begun.

And the pace of the war is also advancing rapidly, maintaining contact with other knights. The Coral Island Knights set off again after a night's rest in the Fort of the Reach, attacking a wider area and plundering all the wealth on the earth. The knights of the little lord could not stop their attack at all.

Especially Liszt, each time he led nine Blizzard beasts to participate in the charge, and a burst of rock spikes could always disrupt the formation of the hostile knights and complete the defeat.

Harvest one brilliant victory after another.

Even if those knights hid in the castle, they couldn't resist Blizzard's earth-type magic. For a while, they were overwhelming. Using him as an arrow, the Coral Island Knights went down to four small cities and directly marched into the first big city - Hayabusa City. The territory of Earl Peregrine.

The meaning of the name of Hayabusa Castle is the city witnessed by the peregrine falcon, and the peregrine falcon naturally refers to the earl of the peregrine falcon, Tusker Xiangcheye.

At this moment, Falcon saw the Xiangche Yebao on the hillside to the east of the city.

Count Peregrine Falcon had a gloomy face, and held a follower meeting: Received the warning from the Marquis Rattlesnake, the swarm of disgusting flies from Sapphire came again. This time they chose the Sardine Bay area. The Marquis Pheasant on the opposite side also came, so we All the lords of Sardine Bay must unite!

The followers howled: Follow your lord's order!

Tusker glanced at all the knights with falcon-like eyes, and showed a satisfied smile: Very well, then, let's... defend Xiangcheye Castle!
