European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 192

"There is a mission to defeat the enemy."

"Tsk tsk, since it is a defeat rather than annihilation, it means that there is no need to kill them all." Li Peijun groaned to himself, reining in his horse and staring at the front again.

The robber knights a hundred meters away were humming Norman songs and celebrating their hard-won victory. In order to prepare for this operation, this group of impoverished nobles also disguised themselves and went to manors everywhere to spy on the situation. , when they learned that Hafleur's manor was full of grain, they paid attention here.

Out of the need to deceive others, they deliberately chose to launch a surprise attack in the early morning, and arranged the strongholds for hiding food in advance, and after clarifying the opponent's complete defense situation, they picked the most lax place to launch an attack.

This is also why the other party was able to carry out the grain in the warehouse with such a swift speed. Unfortunately, a mouse is a mouse after all, without absolute strength, and it can't afford an inch of ambition in front of a lion.

Li Peijun looked at the group of guys in front of him coldly, and ordered the crossbowmen to string the arrows again, waiting for the opponent's arrival.

"I planted this tree, and I opened this road. If you want to pass here, leave money to buy roads."

The cold front of the sharp sword pointed straight ahead, a bit of cold light came first, followed by a shower of arrows.

"What should I do? The other party seems to have a lot of people. It's too late to escape now." The escorting knight found that something was wrong.

Wonderful, I quickly reminded Newland.

"Don't make noise, be quiet, I saw it." Newland frowned tightly. He was not unaware of the danger ahead, but even if he could run now, the luggage he was carrying would definitely be handed over to others, even if he escaped safely. After leaving Montivillier, this winter is still going to be hard.

There is only one way before him, and that is to negotiate.

Newland signaled the large army to stop, and he rode his horse forward alone and shouted to the other party: "Hello, my friends over there."

Li Peijun responded to his enthusiasm silently, and said perfunctorily: "No, hurry up and hand over the food."

Listening to the tone and looking at the other party's posture, Newland felt that the other party should also be a nobleman who couldn't get along and ran around and robbed houses, but his strength was much stronger than himself, but he still didn't give up hope of negotiating. Just a little bit, even if it's only for a week.

"Can you talk about it? They all came out for the same purpose. There's no need to hurt your peace because of this. Let's give in to each other. [-]% of the spoils in my hand belong to you, and I take the rest away. You won't suffer. I won't return empty-handed." Newland negotiated curiously.

"No, I can't give you even [-]%." Li Peijun didn't have to talk to him. If this guy had the sense to hand over the food obediently, he wouldn't embarrass him.

Newland still didn't give up and said: "Your Excellency, you can't be so greedy. How about it, I only want half of it. I don't have any food in my manor. Just treat it as helping me for a while."

Li Peijun felt a little impatient, "Is it possible that I still have to feed you and wait for you to come to my place next time? It was originally my thing, so I should take it back."

After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with angrily eyes: "You have only two options to choose from. Either put down your weapons and surrender, or fight to the death here. Anyway, you can't even take back a grain of food in your hands." , the property belonging to Harfleur, without my permission, anyone who takes it away is illegal possession, even if I exhaust everything, I will snatch it back."

"You can choose to try to resist. When you know that everything you have done is in vain, you will understand what real pain is." Li Peijun raised his sword and looked at the opponent, and the crossbow behind him also gained momentum ready to go.

Now Newland knew that the guy in front of him was the owner of the previous fiefdom, and this robbery cost his own life, but he really wanted to surrender, but he was a little unwilling, a viscount like this Being reduced to a prisoner, the fief couldn't afford the ransom to pay off his freedom, and he was afraid that he would become a marionette in the hands of others.

Let's fight to the death, but the outcome has already been decided, there is no need to wait for my side to fight, the arrows on the opposite side have already pierced the heart, even if it is a close hand to hand fight, the odds of winning are slim.

"Your Excellency, have you thought about it? My patience has a limit." Li Peijun glanced at this guy arrogantly, his previous high spirits were now full of decadence and confusion.

"I only hope that after I surrender, you can be kind to the people in my family. There is no food left on the manor. Please help me when the time comes to alleviate the urgent need." Newland untied the scabbard and threw it aside. , and tore off his shirt again.

"Lord Viscount, we cannot surrender."

"Your Excellency Newland, we still have the strength to fight."

"Yes, even if we can't defeat him, we will fight him to the death."

"That's right, we will die together."

"Shut up, resistance is meaningless, it just consumes the opponent's arrows. You don't have to sacrifice your life for me. If someone returns to the manor safely, take care of my family." Newland scolded angrily The clamoring knights ordered them to throw their weapons and shields to the ground.

"Very good, those who know the current affairs are heroes, come here, take them all back to me." Li Peijun gestured to the soldiers to move, and under the guard of the crossbowmen, dozens of battleaxe soldiers used thick hemp ropes to arrest hundreds of soldiers. The knight was escorted back to Harfleur with his hands tied behind his back.

The robbed food was also returned to its original owner, and the instigator of this incident was also publicly tried collectively in the court of Harfleur. Taking into account the Ling Lin's temperature, Li Peijun specially ordered the clerk to set up an open-air stove to relieve the pain. Take a look at the atmosphere.

After asking, I found out that Newland was originally the lord of Montivellier, and most of the knights who followed him in robbing families were also vassals of his subordinates. Now it was settled.

After further questioning, Li Peijun suddenly felt a little admiration for Newlander. Judging from his appearance, this guy is also a young and promising advanced element. Unfortunately, he was born at an untimely time. Not long after his succession to the title, the family happened. After rebellion, it can be regarded as ill-fated when natural disasters occur after finally reunification.

But getting into trouble with himself was also the worst misfortune in his life. After knowing all the situation, Li Peijun planned to take advantage of the emptiness of Montivillier's defense now. It seemed logical.

"I will help you take care of your people. As for returning them, naturally, you don't have to think about it. The Harfleur Tribunal officially announced that your fiefs have been legally deprived. Now, you are already landless nobles, but I also leave a way for you to choose to accept Hafleur's philosophy and become a member of the system."

Li Peijun leaned his head and looked at the group of nobles who were swearing with interest, but Newland's reaction was surprisingly calm. Logically, he is the nobleman whose interests have suffered the most, and his reaction should be the most violent. It caught Li Peijun's attention.
