#10 - Are you afraid of Blackwood?

Chapter 10 Are you afraid of Blackwood?

Exciting general method.

This is an old method, simple but very effective.

There were three heirs of the great nobles present, and the remaining minor nobles, second sons of the family, free knights, sworn knights, etc. added up to about forty people.

Coupled with their entourage and the escort sent by the landlord Shili City, the entire team can reach a size of three to four hundred people.

There is no need to summon the soldiers of the Bracken family, it is more than enough to deal with the 150 soldiers of the Blackwood family.

As for the conflict between Shuangbu, in the Riverlands, even the dogs of noble families have heard about it.

Everyone present was a noble from the river, and Hendry would not lose face in front of them.

"I hear your suggestion. Are you afraid of Blackwood?" Arthur asked.

Hendry's expression changed slightly, he glared at Arthur, and then said: "My nephew, Genos, is afraid of a little Blackwood?"

When the nobles surrounding heard Hendry's statement, they immediately yelled at Arthur:

"Afraid, when have we Bracken ever been afraid of Blackwood?"

"You, a knight with a big territory, dare to figure out Hendry's thoughts?"

"You asked from Riverrun to Harrenhal to see who is afraid of whom?"

It was obvious that they were outsiders, and Arthur was from the Bracken family, but the tone of these nobles sounded as if Arthur was the outsider.

But this is a good thing. As long as they continue to output, they can always stimulate Hendry's competitive spirit.

But the nephew of Earl Janos thinks differently from Arthur.

After Hendry waited for the sycophants behind him to stop talking, he added: "Although we are not afraid of Blackwood, don't expect me to send troops. We are civilized people, and it is okay to let a group of soldiers from poor backgrounds fight. mean."

Arthur was a little surprised that Hendry's thinking was so advanced and he was willing to plan for the soldiers.

He thought for a moment and asked: "But Blackwood robbed my people and may be killing them right now. Isn't this interesting?"

"Those assholes will die if they die."

"That's right, they only lost their lives, but we were disturbed from our hunting mood."

"Get out of here, there is no place for you to talk here."

This group of sycophants started to chatter again, which made Arthur a little annoyed.

Hendry turned around and glared, and the martial arts arena suddenly became quiet.

Then he turned to Arthur and said: "Do you know how much it costs to train a peasant into a qualified soldier and equip him with weapons and armor? I will not let them die in vain."

He held his chin with his right hand and added: "But your subjects...well, that's also a problem. They are also people from Bracken, and I can't let them die miserably."

Hendry was silent, tapping his index finger on the armrest of the chair.

Karel Vance on the left suddenly laughed out loud, "Since your appeal is not to let Arthur's subjects be robbed by the Blackwood family, why don't we go to Count Tytos and make it clear? We The dignity of these people is enough for Titos not to care about Arthur kidnapping his son. "

"Titos is not an easy man to talk to. At the very least, he has to show force to calm him down." Marco Piper added.

"Showing force? Sending troops there will definitely cause conflicts, and conflicts will definitely kill people. The dead people will cost money, which is not worth it." Hendry's tone changed slightly, and he seemed not to want to send troops.

Arthur was a little angry, this Hendry was grinding like a girl.

"You just said you won't send troops, right?" Marco Piper may have been impatient by Hendry's hesitation.

Arthur was not sure what Hendry was thinking, so he asked straight to the point: "Under what circumstances can you agree to send troops?"

"Of course it's bloodless." Hendry replied quickly, "Well, I'll give you a chance."

"What chance?"

"If you can defeat the three knights I designated, I will agree to send troops to negotiate peace with the Blackwood family."

Hendry's original intention was not to care about this matter.

But with so many people present today, he would not lose the respect of Arthur, a member of Bracken's own family.

So Mei asked his name to give him a chance.

Judging from Arthur's size and rumors that he is not good at fighting, three random people can defeat him.

This way, we don't send troops, but we also have an explanation to Arthur.

I gave you a chance, didn't I? It’s just that you haven’t grasped it!

"Fighting? I like it." Marco Piper excitedly slapped the armrest of the seat.

Arthur was happy, but he didn't expect Hendry to decline in such a way.

But what the nephew of Count Janos didn't expect was that Arthur's favorite thing now was duel.

"Then it's settled. As long as I win the three knights you designated, you will send 500 troops to expel the Blackwood soldiers from my territory?" He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and carefully finalized the plan.

Hendry nodded with a smile.

Marco Piper is obviously a fighting enthusiast. After Hendry confirmed the gameplay, he actually stood up and directed the followers to start setting up the venue.

At one moment he asked the servants to bring more chairs, at another he scolded a certain knight to move away.

Finally, after a commotion, forty or fifty noble knights sat down, fruits and drinks were prepared, and everything was ready.

"Well, Marco, Carle, how about this, we each appoint a knight, how about that?" Hendry asked, sitting on the main seat outside the field.

"Great, I agree."

"I have no objection either."

Both agreed.

After some humility, Marco Piper appointed Arthur's first opponent.

Aegor Mallister, a free knight from the Mallister family in Seaside City, was strong and skilled in martial arts.

After being appointed by Marco, Aegor was obviously very excited: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission, fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."

The people around laughed, and someone shouted: "Wrong, winning is fortunately fulfilling your mission."

Aegor took the helmet handed over by the servant of Stonehedge City, turned around and found the person who shouted, "It's the same, it only takes a few moves to win."

Arthur was also happy, why are these people so confident?

"Hey, is there anyone betting? One gold dragon, I bet Mr. Arthur will win." Someone shouted strangely.

Another round of laughter.

But someone was obviously tempted. It seemed that it was a sure win for Aegor, so it would be better to make some money.

The free knights were not very well off, so any money they could make was a good one.

Looking at the people around them, Hendry suggested: "How about this? To add to the fun, I, the landlord, will open a betting table. What do you think?"

"What a good idea."

"I agree."

"Then Hendry must lose money, because no one will bet on Arthur."

The atmosphere was very lively. After thinking, Hendry announced the odds:

Aegor Mallister, ten to one.

Arthur, one to ten.

In other words, if Aegor won, he would get one gold dragon for every ten gold dragons he bet.

Arthur won, and he would get ten gold dragons for every one gold dragon he bet.

Arthur was very upset when he saw the people around him betting enthusiastically.

Because he had no money to bet.

Why did the opportunity to make money slip away?

And Hendry, the landlord, was very considerate and saw that Arthur wanted to bet but did not act.
