i have a shelter.

Thinking of this, Anthony rubbed his fingers and made a decision.

"Well where did my eggs go"

It didn't take long to walk this last mountain road, and the ground immediately leveled up.After checking the goods, everyone got back on their horses and walked through the fog.When the sun was high, an abandoned manor gradually emerged from the fog.

The group circled around the area around the manor, and after confirming that there were no ambushes or monsters, they left the wolf outside and led their subordinates into the manor.

This manor is a typical holiday manor with few fields and many gardens.The square and surrounding supporting buildings are very particular, and the manor castle house in the center is also a simple one-character pattern, which looks very grand.It is not the kind of intricate and closely connected defensive system architectural deployment of Johannes Castle.

However, this piece of territory that was once reserved for enjoyment has now become a ruin.It can only be vaguely recognized, its once luxurious traces.

0088 Lords Meeting. Debut

The entire garden has turned into a wilderness. The delicate trees and flowers that were specially transported from various places died soon after no one took care of them.The square was overgrown with weeds and covered with mud.Those beautiful arches, sculptures, flower ponds, and pools were all cracked or simply shattered on the ground.

On the lawn in front of the castle house, there are some horses tied, some people standing, and some in front of the door.They are all dressed up as soldiers, colorfully dressed.It seems to be a few soldiers under the lord who have just arrived here.They are divided into several strands, each occupying an area.Some were there, cracking crude jokes with their fellows, and looking undisciplined.Some are silent.

And several knights wearing armor and battle robes of different colors were also surrounded by their subordinates, talking at the door.

The fog stirred, and a pair of tall and sturdy figures suddenly appeared amidst the sound of horseshoes.They galloped like lightning and reined in their horses in front of the gate of the manor, and the surrounding fog couldn't help being blown away.

The soldiers in front of the door suddenly came back to their senses in amazement. Looking at the mighty knights in white shirts, they slowly closed their mouths.How could they not recognize which territory they came from.

Although these soldiers who had never been out in their entire life could not understand the coat of arms and complicated patterns on those people's shirts, it was obviously not something that the gentlemen of the Black Pearl Valley could afford to wear.

"This is the manor you mentioned." George raised his whip, raised his head, and looked behind the knights who stretched their heads and stared.That defiant and arrogant attitude is exactly the same as those great priests in the temple.

"Yes, my lord." After Mi Shan answered with a slight nod, he turned his eyes to a knight in a red cloak in front of the door with a half-smile.I couldn't help showing a trace of disgust and joy in my eyes, "Hehe, Mr. Alf, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

""

Alf's face was a little pale, he pursed his lips, and led the two knights around him into the door without saying a word.

The place where the surviving lords negotiated is in the main hall as soon as you enter the door.It's full of cobwebs and dust everywhere.The furniture and decorations have long since decayed, and the only thing that is still intact and clean is a few stone chairs.They were placed irregularly and orderly. Some stone chairs and tables were even turned over on the ground, and there were some dusty and dried blood stains on them.

Those stone chairs weigh a hundred catties. It seems that not every gathering is harmonious and orderly.But judging from the dust, it should have been a long time since there was a direct fight on the spot.

The environment is terrible, but no one cares.Some lords who have participated in many gatherings even chose a place to sit down without even blowing the ashes under their buttocks.And the knights beside them also stood behind them casually, but their hands were always on the hilts of their swords.

I have been to this kind of gathering many times.So some simple rules have been formulated long ago.

Everyone will not bring too many things, mainly to reconcile some things and talk about the list.After confirming, take out the deposit, and the two parties, with the participation of the notary party, agree on a time to exchange goods.

If there is a problem, people will be singled out, don't fight in groups here, and get everyone into trouble.

Those who are disobedient will be killed by the union. Generally, these people are the new bandit leaders who have no noble status.In the eyes of the lords, they are like nouveau riche, ignorant of the rules, and very vulgar.At the lowest end of the chain of contempt among lords.

This kind of people, let alone now, even in the past, were untouchables who could cut off their heads with just a word.

So there are not too many conflicts during the party.

There have never been some ignorant guys who led people to surround the place and rob the lord. Although those were the only ones, the soldiers would only bring one or two teams.But it will bring most of the knights.These knights add up to thirty or forty each time.So even if there are [-] people surrounding this place, these people can ride horses and rush into the mist and flee far away.

And if it is less than four or five hundred troops, it is not necessarily who will fight who. The situation will be similar to when George fought Mishan.

Since the rules were formulated, many unnecessary conflicts between lords have also been reduced.But there are also some hungry guys who participated in this meeting just to find out who is suitable for them.

Of course, those who take the initiative often suffer a little.

And when some people go too far and make everyone feel threatened, they will join forces to destroy and divide them up.However, the winners generally will not occupy the territory of those eliminated, they only want some resources and some useful people.

It is rare for the lord to send people to stay in certain areas for too long, because there is no stable and reliable transportation line, and there are not so many useful people.

Even some villages, or camps that can produce resources, will be specially reserved by the lords, so that the continuous blood-sucking lords generally call this taxation.

In these years of big fish eating small fish, the overall strength of the lords is not too different.And as long as the resources are not particularly scarce, when everyone gets together, the atmosphere is generally harmonious.

But occasionally there will be some newcomers, most of whom come from newly gathered survivor camps, or people from some remote areas.

At times like this, things tend to get a little more interesting.Just like today.

The lords came in one after another, and each of them would put a few boxes next to them.Usually at this time, everyone can't help but ask each other what they brought.These northerners are relatively rough and unrefined, and they always shout when they talk. As the voices and voices become louder, the party will slowly start.

But today it was a bit quiet. Many people couldn't help but turn their eyes to the door. They looked at Alf and the others who were walking in the door, and the dozen or so knights who had dismounted outside the door and walked into the door. .

The seats were already full at this time, and the lord who came in glanced around and raised his eyebrows.

Afterwards, the tall armored giant next to him walked to a stone chair that was lying on its side without making a sound, picked it up with one hand, and put it in its original position.

This scene made some people's eyelids twitch.

The stone chair weighed at least five or six hundred catties. If anyone present could move the five or six hundred catties, or someone could stand up.But it is like erecting a wooden chair, and no one dares to say that he can lift it up and put it down so casually.

Take another look at the sword and long spear slung across his waist on the horse. I am afraid that he can cut the horse in half with a single sword.Can't help but make people feel cold.

Today, nothing like a duel can absolutely not happen here

Several knights had already wiped off the dust on the stone chair with their cloaks, and the lord also sat down.Then this group of people stood behind him like javelins, leaning on the hilt of their swords.

The battle suits on the chests of these people are all unusual, and the patterns on them cannot be sewn by ordinary skilled craftsmen.

Looking at the equipment they were wearing, even though they were not plate armor, the people present were all people who knew the goods, and their value could be seen from the density and thickness of the mail armor.

After the party was temporarily cold, some people began to chat in low voices.But what they said seemed to be short-sighted by the parents, and few people talked about the goods.And they didn't bring the topic to the newcomers, as if they were the ones who came to the party today.

George leaned on his arm, touched his chin, and sighed helplessly, as if everyone had misunderstood.It seems that I have to pretend to be aggressive today.

0089 I'm in charge!

Looking at the group of lords with short parents, George secretly felt a little funny.According to what he knew from Mi Shan, the guys here who are usually somewhat hostile don't have such a good relationship.

"My lord, when I came last time, there were still 15 lords, but it seems that only 7 came today." Mi Shan bent down and said in the lord's ear, "It's only been a few months."

When Mi Shan said these words, his heart was still very complicated.As the survivors struggling together in this last days, he hopes to have fewer competitors.I also hope that more people can fight against the fog.

Seeing that there were only seven people here today, Mi Shan, who was still somewhat interested, couldn't help feeling depressed.

After a pause, Mi Shan saw that the lord did not speak, and continued to speak, "Not all of you here have hereditary titles, many of them are knights. The person sitting at the top is the Baron Garvey I mentioned, his The territory is closest to the west, and he has some exchanges with the lords in the west. He is also the representative of our dialogue with the west. Resources such as ores basically flow out of his hands. He has the most knights under him, a total of twelve, and There are more than 500 soldiers. Today he only brought eight knights, but many of these knights were not from Banquo, and there are not many old people now."

Hearing this, George nodded.

For this person, he knows.His full name is Lord Garvey Emer.This family has a long history, and the town of Bianhe ruled by it is also an important place in the play in the entire Black Pearl Valley.

Although every Bianhe lord is a baron, he is extremely good at managing his territory.At the very beginning, the ancestor of this family was just a herder.

After several centuries, the small town of Bianhe has become a huge area with a population of tens of thousands.If wealth accumulates for a period of time, a city will also rise there.

The concept of tens of thousands of people is the population of thousands of households. Those tall and short houses piled up together are not much smaller than a city.As for the Black Pearl Valley itself, the population is dispersed, so Lord Bianhe is naturally very eye-catching.
