Chapter 398 A Scam (Part 2)
As the days passed day by day, Cons had sent someone to inform the news, but Baron Hal had no reply yet.
As for the need to lead Cons to leave, no one agrees. Who knows whether the nobles will admit their achievements after they leave?
So while waiting, the soldiers transferred from Earl Beck slowly returned to the town to guard, but they were obviously stunned for a long time when they saw the bright stock.
When I heard that it was a group of mercenaries who had gained a bargain while the town was scarce, they couldn't help but get angry and prepared to find the mercenaries to teach them a lesson.
The most important thing is of course to get back your losses.
Several soldiers from the town near Anlou Town who were attacked by Cons gathered together and came to Anlou Town with great momentum to scold, asking Cons to get out of the town immediately and hand over all the supplies.
Thousands of soldiers gathered in Anlou Town to beat and kill, and on one side were the direct commanders of Earl Bick, and on the other side were the mercenary group hired by Baron Hal.
It was just a bit strange that the soldiers in the territory were outside the town, but the mercenaries from other places were inside the town. Such an interesting thing was immediately spread. It was only at this moment that Baron Hal also captured four towns and a castle of Earl Bick.
At this moment, Cons's red background, white vines and black rose mercenaries officially made the entire Earl Beak realize.
When Cons was very satisfied with this change, Baron Hal finally sent someone to send an order.
A sled car appeared outside the ice wall of Anlouzhen in a strait, and the Picks who surrounded the ice wall obviously received some news and did not stop the sled.
The person on the sled was obviously frightened by the huge ice wall and suddenly stopped. After a while, someone on the sled opened his throat and shouted at the city tower: "We are the messengers of Lord Hal, come to convey the latest orders of Lord Viscount!"
"prove!"
After a message came out of the city tower, a bamboo basket tied with a rope was thrown down.
"It's so cautious." A man jumped off the sled and muttered, putting the sealed certificate into the basket.
After a while, the town gate opened.
The Pic soldiers outside the town were in a state of chaos, but they had obviously received the order and did not take the opportunity to attack the town. Instead, they settled down on both sides of the city gate under the leadership of the officers.
When Cons saw the appearance of Pick's soldier, he obviously knew that the two nobles had already agreed. Since their merits were spread, there was no need to worry about someone seizing the credit. After all, he was just a mercenary recruited by Baron Hal, not his direct-level soldiers, and he could not suppress the credit even if he wanted to suppress the credit.
With this feeling, Cons simply took his hands down to the door to greet these messengers.
The messenger obviously knew Cons, so when he saw Cons coming to greet him in person, a complacent smile appeared on his face.
However, they did not delay and took out a parchment and handed it to Cons and said, "Sir, this is an order issued by Lord Viscount himself. Please confirm it and execute the order immediately. After all, the peace agreement between your delegation and our Lord Viscount has not been terminated yet."
Cons took the parchment and opened it to watch it, and saw it said---
Lord Har of Viscount Har of the Red White Visage Black Rose Mercenary Group was a great military achievement. My Lord already knew that the achievements of your group in capturing four towns and one fort were rewarded according to the pre-war peace agreement. Now, since he had negotiated peace with Lord of the Earl, he needed to return the occupied land, so he asked your group to move his troops to Har of the Castle in order to accept my Lord of the Congratulations.
This order to seal the Viscount Har of
"Thank you, this mercenary group obeys the order."
Cons put away the sheepskin roll and smiled at the messenger. As he waved his hand, hundreds of carriages and nearly a hundred sled cars immediately rushed out of the wooden door.
When everyone saw Cons's attitude, they all understood that they had already prepared it.
Seeing so many carriages full of supplies passing by quickly, the Pics on both sides of the town gate were all trembling with anger.
But the boss is right, these are all spoils, what kind of face do we have to come back?
Ignoring those little-hearted Pics, Cons and the others quickly led Hal.
Now the world is so chaotic. If you don’t take advantage of this good time when the soldiers fight and the thieves hide, you will transport the seized materials back. Should you wait until the thieves are everywhere before you can get the fortune?
By then, I'm afraid I'll be stopped after walking a mile.
After entering the Har Territory, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They rushed back all the way. At this time, everyone couldn't help but miss the base of their own mercenary group in Qingxiang Town.
There were tents near Hal Castle again, but this time there were obviously many more tents than last time. Although many people died in battle, there were more mercenary groups who joined the battle halfway, and most of them were cut down to one or two heads and waited for the bounty here.
These things were not something that Cons had inquired about, but that several messengers said it themselves when they saw Cons noticing the tents. Judging from his expression, his tone was completely like his family.
But Cons thought about it again. His corps occupied four towns and one fort, and his contribution was very great. He was sure to get a title. In other words, as long as he accepted the title, he would be stamped with the Hal faction. No wonder they regarded themselves as their own people.
Cons had no objection to whom he became, except when he was a prince on Feidu Peninsula, he had no boss any more than when he was no longer a boss.
Even during the reign of the Grand Commander, there was an emperor above, and now there is an extra vassal.
Cons would not foolishly bring the seized materials here, but transport them back to the station as soon as possible.
If they are transported here, it will be jealous. If these people have won several heads, they will come here to wait for rewards. You will know what they have obtained on the battlefield.
Seeing Cons with A II and A Ze Ze and A and A walk into the castle accompanied by several servants, the mercenaries next to him just glanced at him and didn't care.
Many people are still inquiring about why the mercenary group of white and black roses, which was so fat that it was not arrived in this battle.
Baron Hal, no, it should be Viscount Hal. Just look at the viscount badge on his chest. Although the promotion documents have not been released yet, he has already begun to regard himself as a viscount, and now even the badges are made. This also shows that the aristocratic system of the Snow Kingdom has changed a long time ago and is probably about to enter the era of separatism.
No one dares to call one's titles randomly now, but all nobles are unified and suppressed for their own interests. Sooner or later, someone will call themselves kings.
Thinking about the fact that Earl Beck alone has at least 500 cavalrymen with all the knights, you will know how valuable the title is.
But Cons didn't bother to pay attention to these trivies. Since you hung the Viscount badge, you should call it "Baidu Tieba. Thirteen" according to this title. So Cons bent down and saluted: "Master Viscount, this group has fulfilled your mission and has completed your commission. I wonder when the reward of this group can be given?"
When separated from the main force, Heli and other veteran mercenaries came over to remind: "The regiment commander, when he saw Baron Har, the first greeting, and the second sentence was to give him a reward, otherwise these nobles would be talking and not know where to go! When others don't meet you, the bounty will be in no time!"
Cons, who didn't know much about the nobles of the Snow Country, certainly followed his advice.
Viscount Hal, who was originally happy and smiling, was stunned when he heard this.
Ultrahan, who was originally jealous, was also stunned. Seeing the viscount frowning, Ultrahan couldn't help but feel happy.
"You mercenary leader is really a mess. You know that your merits are enough to become a top-notch person, and you are so rude. If such a guy joins our sect, it would really embarrass the Harr noble faction. It seems that the lord should have changed his mind."
Viscount Hal nodded with a smile: "Captain Cons, your group's courage is really admirable. Since there are too many warriors waiting for Ben Jue to personally reward him, please allow Ben Jue to be in this simple place and reward you here."
Upon hearing this, Ultrahan's mouth trembled for a moment, but he still stood beside Viscount Hal with a standard knight smile.
Cons also felt that things were a little weird.
Because title is a very grand event.
To be granted titles to the heroes under your command, you must have lords and knights in power and people with status in your territory to watch the ceremony.
During the empire, even if I was already a local emperor, the imperial power was incredibly down and out, but when the title was awarded, it was still lively and grand. It was impossible to hold it in this slightly narrow room, just a place where two or three people watched the ceremony.
But Cons thought about it, the living environment and customs of the Snow Country, which were a bit backward, probably their low-level titles were so casual, so Cons didn't care, and just bent down and said, "The will of the adults is mine."
Sitting on a chair and writing on two pieces of sheepskin Viscount Hal said while writing: "Well, according to your merits in the four towns and one fort, you can get at least 30,000 gold coins and a lord's title, okay."
Halfway through his words, Viscount Hal got up and came to Cons, knocked Cons on the shoulder with his sword and said, "I conferred Cons-Relent as the lord of Qingxiang Town with the title of Lord of Fine Yao, and the lord of Earl of Bickey."
Viscount Hal didn't wait for Cons to react, pointed to the parchment on the table and said to Otham and others, "You sign your names in the Witness column."
A knight next to him opened his mouth with a dazed look on his face and wanted to say something, but Othan pulled him first and said, "Okay, let's sign it now."
The knight might have remembered something, looked at Cons with a little regretful look, and then signed the sheepskin.
Finally, Viscount Hal picked up a red-grilled iron seal and printed it on the junction of two portions of sheepskin.
This is an act to prevent forgery and backup.
Once you have any doubts, you can use the vassal's territory documents to identify them here, so it will be very troublesome if the vassal loses this document.
If the vassal king loses the documents, the vassal will automatically obtain independent qualifications. Of course, this is only useful when the aristocratic system is sound. At this time, it is almost entirely based on force.
Viscount Hal threw one of the scorched sheepskins to Cons, and said in a lazy tone: "From the future, this Qingxiang Town will be your territory. One hundred gold coins will be handed over to the Lord every year and send 100 troops to serve for 40 days every year. In addition, other rights and obligations are the same as other jazz. Before leaving, you can use this territory document to receive the bounty you deserve to be from the Fortress Library."
Viscount Hal waved his hand after saying that, indicating that Cons could step down.
Cons was also a little stupid. A rich and fragrant town is used as a territory for himself? It feels a bit of a play.
