Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Inside the Council Chamber of Ironwood Castle.

It was noon, and the lighting of the conference hall was very good. The bright sunlight shone into the conference hall, and the entire conference hall was illuminated incomparably bright.

The spring sun shines on people, it will not hurt the skin like the summer sun, but a warm feeling, which makes people very comfortable.

Unfortunately, only Richard, Ron, Viscount Sutter and others may feel comfortable. Viscount Nader and the other three barons feel uncomfortable at all.

At this time, the council hall was very silent. Viscount Sutter looked blank and seemed to be digesting something. The three barons looked down at the table, as if they wanted to count the lines of the conference table. Only Viscount Nader raised his head and wanted to say something. order something.

Just now, Richard proposed the integration plan of the theater during the discussion.

In order to further improve the war potential of each territory, the Hunter family will send sheriffs and tax collectors to the villages in the four territories.

According to the governance method of Hunter Territory, Nader Territory and the other three baronies are managed together.

In the future, the peasants and soldiers of each family will be uniformly trained and managed by the Hunter family, and the Ironwood City Official School will also select suitable schoolchildren from these villages.

In the future, each family will only manage the sites around their castles.

At the same time, Richard also promised that the previous income of each family will be verified, and the tax collected by each village will not be less than one cent. If the tax revenue is reduced due to the management of the Hunter family, the Hunter family will make up for the reduction. part.

Richard's proposal made several nobles at the table fall into silence collectively.

Of course, each family is not willing to accept this condition, especially the relatively large territory of the Nader family.

There are hundreds of large and small villages on the Nader family's territory, roughly estimated to have a population of nearly 50,000 to 60,000 people, almost the same as the previous Will family.

If you agree to Richard's conditions, then the Nader family basically loses control of the village under their control. If the Hunter family is in charge of it for two years, who can remember that the Nader family is their lord.

In the same way, the other three baronial territories combined are not too different from the Nader family's territory and population. If they can be the local emperor, who wants to let others manage them?

"Lord Richard, I think this should be discussed again."

After hesitating for a while, Viscount Nader still spoke with difficulty and wanted to win, but he may not have realized that under such a strong gap in strength,

Viscount Nader had unconsciously used an honorific to Richard, and was completely unable to negotiate with Richard on an equal basis.

"What else can be changed, I think it's pretty good, it's cheaper for you guys!"

Before Richard could speak, Viscount Sauter, who had been sitting on the main seat as a mascot, suddenly took the initiative to answer.

He stared at Viscount Nader with a very dissatisfied expression. In Viscount Souter's opinion, this proposal was really good, and he didn't need to manage daily affairs, and he could still receive taxes in full.

This is a good thing that can't be found even with a lantern. If it was him, he would happily agree immediately.

"But……"

"boom!"

Viscount Nader wanted to continue to say something, but Viscount Sauter slapped the table heavily, causing Viscount Nader to swallow his words abruptly.

"Bang dang, bang dang..." A sound of metal colliding came from outside the door.

Just as Viscount Sauter patted the table, a few crusaders near the door made a move, and immediately rushed to the door to check inside.

Although they didn't enter the door directly, the crusaders wrapped in armor made a loud noise when they walked, attracting everyone's attention to them at once.

Viscount Nader and the others even subconsciously wanted to touch the long sword on their waist.

Seeing this, Li Cha waved to several crusaders, indicating that nothing was wrong, and told them to retreat.

However, Richard didn't plan to smash the cup and let the crusaders swarm and keep all these lords here.

After all, doing this kind of thing blatantly has almost no benefit other than blocking yourself, and even if you occupy their territory afterwards, you will not get legal recognition.

If he dared to blatantly annex territories with the strength at his disposal, he would definitely provoke intervention from the kingdom.

Richard doesn't have the power to deal with the Dragon Knights of Zhenguo now, and even a Northland Marquis Mansion is not something that Richard can fight now.

However, the unexpected effect was quite good. Viscount Nader was obviously a little frightened and did not dare to speak any further.

"Does anyone else have an opinion?"

Viscount Salter stared at everyone, and they all buried their heads and dared not look at Viscount Salter.

After Viscount Nader died, the other three barons no longer dared to stand up against him.

"Since there is no opinion, let's do it this way."

Viscount Salt settled the matter in three or two sentences.

After Viscount Sutter spoke, Richard started to paddle the whole way, because he found that Viscount Souter was confident enough.

Viscount Sauter really felt that the conditions offered by him were too good to be true. If others didn't want to accept them, he simply didn't know the good heart, the good and the bad, and the praise.

With this knowledge ~www.readwn.com~ Viscount Sutter speaks with great confidence, and even made a few nobles really have the illusion that the Hunter family is for my good at that moment.

"Come here, sign the agreement."

For the first time, Viscount Hunter dominated this kind of meeting, and he was obviously a little excited.

He greeted the attendants on the side and placed the prepared agreement and quill in front of the lords.

Under Viscount Salt's gaze, Viscount Nader reluctantly signed his name to the agreement.

The three barons who wanted to wait and see saw that the most powerful Nader family had signed, and they did not hesitate to include their names in the agreement.

Because of Viscount Souter's true character, it took less than an hour to complete the whole thing, which was much smoother than Richard had imagined.

After signing the agreement, Viscount Nader put down the pen and let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had finally put down some burden.

In fact, it is not completely unacceptable. The surrounding area of ​​the castle is still managed by the Nader family, and the village's tax revenue will not be less than before. As long as the full amount of taxes can be received, the Hunter family can do whatever they want.

Viscount Nader, who signed the agreement, came up with this idea.

This is probably because the situation is better than the person. If there were only three or five knights in the Hunter family, it would be impossible for Viscount Nader to sign such an agreement.

But now the Hunter family has so many knights that Viscount Nader is numb, and even the number seems to be increasing.

Next time, I may not be surprised to find that there are more knights Nader Viscount in the Hunter family.

In the face of such a powerful Hunter family, Viscount Nader couldn't raise the confidence to fight. Since he couldn't resist, he could only comfort himself.

Is this actually not bad?
