Chapter 270: Borrowing troops (Part 2)
"If Apps City does not mobilize and keep silent, the Baron of the Abyss will certainly be more vigilant, but it may also clear the surrounding towns and territories first, so that we will be in danger. Now, we just need to remain silent."
"But the baron's title needs to be prepared quickly. I think that only at this time will the baron be the easiest to wholesale. Moreover, when we wholesale, at least the result of this small decisive battle will come out. I believe that no matter who it is, it will be a great opportunity for us to develop during this period - without the baron, it will be difficult for me to develop."
The words were very clear. The scholar Lulun nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
In fact, there is a reason. Romon didn't say it, and Lu Lun also understood.
That is the relationship between the knight and the noble.
Under normal circumstances, a Lord will only have one real knight, while a Baron can have ten knights.
The nobles and knights form the upper and lower levels of the entire aristocratic class. The nobles control the land and are responsible for maintaining local peace and public order. The knights are the assistants and dependents of the nobles, and they undertake military tasks.
Now Romon's territory and title are not enough to maintain such a huge army, and have four knights, let alone develop.
At this moment, the servant outside came in and said, "Sir, Baron Rocasse is here."
"Sure enough!" Romon said this and stood up.
Lu Lun immediately closed all three boxes, just closed them, only a piece of tea brick that had just been cut was placed on the tea set on the table.
When he arrived at the door, Romon greeted: "Baron Rocas, it's an honor to see you!"
"Oh, Lord Tatshaw, you are such a real nobleman, thank you for this rescue." Baron Rocas showed a warm smile on his thin long face. Behind him was Miss Alini and Knight Corriro, and behind him was a priest of the God of Order in a gray robe.
Strictly speaking, this meeting was the third formal meeting between the two. Compared to the first condescending and the second time, they were indeed much more equal and enthusiastic.
Sitting on the sofa in the small living room, the servant cooked milk tea with the tea brick to entertain him.
"Oh, Lord, you really have a way. This tea brick is the best, right?" Baron Rocas took a sip and said in praise.
"Oh yes, you know, I'm a sixth-level druid, so through some channels, I've got a set of silver tea maker, and this tea brick."
"Oh, it's amazing, but you should cut these tea bricks into small pieces and seal them with wax, otherwise they will soon get damp and lose their quality." The Baron suddenly realized and said with advice, but was shocked.
This kind of large tea brick with the highest quality intact and unmoved quality is too precious. Even the Baron himself would not be willing to buy this large piece at once.
At the same time, there is a new assessment of Romon - the level 6 druid, is there such a channel and energy?
Then I heard Romon say in surprise: "Is that so? Oh, Baron, you are so knowledgeable. If it weren't for you, I would have really wasted this tea brick."
After hearing this, Baron Rocas couldn't help but feel a little proud, and Miss Alini, who was next to her, almost spurted out the milk tea with a "pop".
If the druid doesn't know how to preserve this kind of tea brick, that's the news.
But this is necessary. After saying a few words about the tea bricks, the Baron said again: "I am a person from Ricca town. I did not read you wrongly. Come to help. Haha, today, I am here to fulfill my promise last time and transfer the territory of Suda Village to you."
After hearing this, Romon pulled his mouth secretly, maintaining a faint and a little respectful expression. In fact, in his heart, Romon had already sneered in secret.
This is what you should have, but looking at this, it seems to be a gift.
However, Romon is not ready to destroy this atmosphere. Anyway, getting the territory is the kingdom.
A map of Rocas was slowly unfolded with marks on it. Soon, the location of Suda Village was found. The Baron looked at the village and felt extremely distressed, but gritted his teeth and said, "Prince, please witness!"
The Gray Priest nodded and stood up, and from now on he fulfilled the responsibilities given to him by the God of Order.
"Lord Tatshaw, this is a contract for the transfer of territory. It has been prepared. There are three copies in total, one for you, one for me, and the other will be stored in the temple for custody. You can check it out. If you have no objection, sign it on it!" The Baron took out the contract prepared in advance.
Romon took out the agreement and saw that his expression was still calm at the beginning, and finally, a sarcastic smile appeared.
Seeing this sarcastic smile, the Baron couldn't help but feel a little in his heart.
"Baron Rocas, do you want to turn me into a vassal?" Romon said coldly, not going to give him some face.
The turn of face was like turning a book, which immediately surprised everyone present.
"This..." The Baron did not expect Romon to react so fiercely.
Miss Alini stared at her father, stood up, took the documents and changed color: "Father, how can you do this!"
This world is dominated by the relationship between vassals and vassals.
In ancient times, there were layers of control, and the king was the vassal of the duke and obtained allegiance to the duke.
The Duke was also the lord of the Marquis and was loyal to the Marquis.
The Marquis was also the vassal of the Earl and was allegiance to the Earl.
By analogy, until the jazz was loyal to the baron, but the reality relationship was of course much more complicated. First of all, this system was too over-the-top. In theory, the king could not even directly command the marquis and could not interfere with the vassals. Not only did it make the king almost a puppet, but it also made it very troublesome to mobilize and could not cope with complex forms.
Therefore, in order to cope with complex situations and strengthen the royal power, 2000 years ago, the whole continent basically officially entered the model of "all nobles are only loyal to the king". That is to say, although nobles at all levels have their own ranks, they are theoretically vassals of the king and have no relationship with vassals.
Of course, this system is not complete. If a nobleman gives land to a small nobleman, the small nobleman still bears many obligations to the nobleman, which is close to a vassal and is responsible to the king and the nobleman at the same time.
If you have a seal, you will have the responsibility for service. This iron rule still exists.
Originally, this time, it was a reward, and the baron gave it to the small mining village of Romon. Now, in this document, the essence is changed - the baron treats this land as a fief and grants it to Romon, and Romon has actually become a semi-vassal in law, and it will clarify that he should bear the obligation, especially after notarization by the God of Order, it cannot be terminated. This is also one of the contract characteristics of the law.
"Romon, I don't know about this in advance!" Miss Alini's mind was very clear. She turned around and said to the baron: "Father, you must have got the wrong document!"
Actually, it is impossible to get it wrong, but this is a step down.
Seeing that the baron was still hesitant, Miss Aline was anxious. Why was her father so short-sighted? It was simply a fraudulent nature. Once it became a big deal, with the promise of the previous letters and the evidence was in hand, the Church of the God of Order would definitely give the unfavorable baron a judgment.
Finally, the Baron was not too confused. After a moment, he said a little embarrassedly: "Yes, I got it wrong!"
The agreement was re-drafted. This time, Miss Alini took it himself and finished the work in a moment.
The priest of the God of Order, after witnessing, sign.
Romon showed the Baron no good look at this time. He waved his hand and said, "Sir Baron, sorry, I'm a little tired after fighting in a row."
This is the order to expel guests.
Miss Alini was distressed. She felt that her father was too stupid and Romon was too cold. She bit her red lips. She didn't say anything, and took the contract and left the villa.
As soon as she got to the carriage, Miss Alini couldn't bear it: "Father, why do you do this?"
"He was originally from my town, he was my leader!" The Baron also felt very angry: "I didn't expect that once I succeed, I would be this kind of face."
Miss Alini was really angry and anxious, not knowing what to say. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "Father, what are your ideas? If you don't say them, I really won't help you!"
"...I'm recruited by the city. It's very dangerous to fight against the demons. Romon has four knights. Even if he doesn't go, he wants to transfer two knights to follow him. This is much safer." After a moment of silence, the Baron finally told the truth.
"You can't use this method. You are bullying Romon as a new nobleman. You don't know the joints inside. Now you have completely offended Romon." Miss Alini pressed her forehead and was speechless.
Romon now has five squadrons of cavalry, a level six druid, and has made great achievements. His future is limitless. Even the viscount and bishop in the city are unwilling to offend him at any time. Unexpectedly, the baron is actually smart.
However, the Baron's consideration was true. It was of course very dangerous to be recruited in the city to fight. If there were several knights to protect him, he would not only get some merits, but also ensure safety.
After looking at the Baron, Miss Alini sighed and said, "Father, go back. I will discuss this with Romon again."
As he said that, he stopped the carriage, got off by himself, and asked the Baron to go back.
When she returned to the villa, Miss Alini felt a slump. She saw Romon giving orders and was about to evacuate. At this time, Lulun was getting on a carriage with three boxes.
"Romon, why are you?" Miss Alini asked quickly.
"The demons nearby have been concentrated. There should be no demons near Ricca Town and Castle. I just want to retreat. It is said that the demons in the mining area have also moved. I am afraid that there will be remaining little demons inside, so I am ready to sweep it." Romon still has a good attitude towards Miss Alini.
This reason is very sufficient, and Miss Alini could not object. After a moment of silence, she finally said, "Romon, I will discuss something with you."
"Oh, Miss Alini, you have been kind to me before. If you have anything to do, just say it." He was very kind, but Miss Alini felt bitter when she heard it.
However, at this time, she didn't care about anything else, so she told her about it.
