Charles II selected four thousand elite Swiss mercenaries, all elite veterans. There is no problem with dealing with the two thousand Saxon defenders. Even if the number of people is smaller, it can be easily handled. What's more, it's double the number.

However, when selecting troops, the regiment commander Zieg, who had always performed well, refused to lead troops to East Friesland and gave the opportunity to other Swiss mercenaries.

The leader of the Sieger Mercenary Group was very afraid of Marin. You should know that with some of the methods he learned from Marin, he has now become the star leader of the Swiss mercenaries. Then, as a teacher, Marin has become more capable. In other words, the ability of the Sieger Group is only part of Marin. Marin, who has full firepower, is the real demon king!

Zieg was always guilty when he asked Zieg to go to Marin's nest to cause trouble. So he gave this opportunity to another Swiss mercenary group.

But Zieg didn't know that something happened to him...

What happened? It was the bad habits of those Swiss mercenaries...

Although Swiss mercenaries are brave and good at fighting, they have many bad habits. For example, the habit of not keeping prisoners (mainly not leaving recruited prisoners, because soldiers cannot exchange for ransoms). And the habit of looting.

Swiss people like to leave many cuts on their clothes, but that is not for fashion and fashion, but for opening a few more pockets on their bodies to facilitate the stolen property.

In short, in addition to strong combat effectiveness, Swiss mercenaries have many other bad habits and are definitely not good people. Only Zieg's mercenary group emphasized discipline after stealing from Marin and rarely acted randomly.

The Roman mercenary group that replaced Zieg's expedition was the traditional Swiss mercenary group - strong combat power, but also very greedy and cruel...

When they first entered East Friesland, the Roman Mercenary Group did not do anything. After all, as the best in the mercenary world, the Swiss had a good military literacy. At least, they knew that before they succeeded in sneak attacks, they should not make any trouble.

After arriving on the west bank of the Ames River, they waited for the ferry ship secretly sent by Groningen. Then, they used the ferry to send all four thousand Swiss mercenaries to the other side.

It was still early in the morning. Because the Swiss mercenaries set out at night. Seeing that the Saxony barracks were right in front of them, the other party probably hadn't woken up yet, so the Swiss mercenaries launched an attack...

The Saxons never expected that the other party would dare to cross the border and send troops to attack, so they were caught off guard. In a panic, hundreds of elite Saxon knights led Baron Leeuwarden Ztel and rushed out of the baron on horseback.

The Swiss immediately divided their troops and chased them relentlessly. They instinctively felt that Baron Lywarden Ztel was among the group of cavalry that rushed out.

Although the hundreds of people rushed out were all riding horses, the pursuers sent by the Swiss were also riding horses. Because the Swiss occupied the stables of the Saxon barracks.

Soon, hundreds of Swiss mercenaries rode their horses to chase them, surrounding Baron Ztel of Leeuwarden and hundreds of elite Saxon knights in an ordinary manor in East Friesland.

Afterwards, more than 800 most elite mercenaries launched a strong attack on the Saxons who fled into the manor...

After half a day of fighting, half of the hundreds of Saxony heavy cavalry were killed, and the rest were either injured or captured. As for Baron Lywarden, Ztel, naturally fell into the hands of the Swiss.

Baron Leeuwarden Ztel knew that he was finished and would definitely not escape death. However, he was unwilling to die in vain. So he turned his eyes and decided to trick the troops in front of him...

How to cheat? It's just to encourage these people in front of you to rob East Friesland...

As Marin's old opponent and old friend, Baron Leavarden Ztel knew Marin's strength and Marin's character of revenge. Therefore, he knew that if the troops in front of him robbed East Friesland, they would definitely not escape revenge. In this way, it would be considered avenge for himself.

So he talked with the Swiss officer intentionally or unintentionally, and told the Swiss that in the manor, he found a large amount of food and various property...

The Swiss indeed took the bait...

After searching, the Swiss found mountains of food and many various kinds of goods in the manor - such as various coins, silver and bronze ware, and other daily necessities. In addition, there were a large number of high-value daily necessities such as salt, oil, and cloth.

Because of the high grain output and great profits of Marin, he is naturally not stingy with the manor managers and serfs under his command. Therefore, every manor under Marin has very rich supplies.

The Swiss immediately became jealous. Faced with wealth, they forgot Charles II's request to not cause trouble. They threw away the spear and put all the coins, gold, silver and bronze ware on their bodies. As for the cloth, they directly wrapped them around them.

When the valuable property was loaded, they began to rob high-value materials such as salt, oil and grain. However, in a single manor, there were more than a thousand bags of rye stocks, so they had to force the serfs in the manor to transport the food to the Ames River, and then ship it back to the west bank... What they didn't know was that these more than a thousand bags of rye were only supplied for daily consumption in the manor, and they were also the old grains from the previous year. If they went to the official warehouses of Orich and Lair counties to take a look, they would probably be scared to death...

After this army joined the large army, they reported the profits and the regiment commander Roman. Roman was also a greedy man, and he heard that a small manor had such great gains. So, after the entire army crossed the Ames River, he ordered a large-scale robbery on the East Friesian ground of hundreds of square kilometers on the west bank of the Ames River...

Then, more than a dozen manors on the west bank of East Friesland were all stolen. A total of 10,000 bags of rye, coins worth 1,000 gold coins, two thousand pounds of salt, various silver and bronze ware, as well as cloth and cooking oil, were all stolen by these Swiss mercenaries.

In addition, they took away 50 horses, 100 cattle and 500 sheep...

That's not all. Some young and strong people in the manors were also killed when they resisted, and the total death toll reached 96 people...

Of course, Roman also was afraid of being criticized by the Gedes people. Therefore, he sent people to kill all the cattle and sheep they stolen and pickled them into jerky meat. The grain was also hidden in the temporarily abandoned fortress in Marin's border area. Moreover, Roman also sent people to contact the grain merchants and come to transport the grain. As long as this batch of grain takes action,

Afterwards, the unlucky Baron Ztel of Leeuwarden was also silenced by Roman. So what he brought back was not the "preferably a living person" that Charles II asked, but a corpse...

Before his death, Baron Leeuwarden Ztel told Roman confidently—"I will wait for you below, and I believe you are not far from death!"

Roman didn't believe Ztel's words, because he had killed so many people, and no one came to take him to hell...

But what he didn't know was that the spy who stayed on the west bank of the Ames River recorded all this and found out the origin of the Roman mercenary group...
