One hundred and fortieth chapters return with a reward
"Ding, the side mission to keep Quint alive for a while, and a big blow has been completed, and the system mission Blacksmith's Loyalty has been distributed!"
Listening to the system prompts, Nalant left the castle directly with the two horse-drawn carriages he borrowed from Quint Castle. The two carriages contained three trebuchets and the armor of the dark creature.
"Narant, taking these three trebuchets back may lead to the investigation of the Black Iron Earl!" On the way back, Boris became frowning.
In addition to the original two conditions, Nalant actually took away all three trebuchets on the city wall.
Each earl family has strict control over these trebuchets. Now that Nalant has taken away three trebuchets, it can be said that the importance of this matter is second only to the matter of asking Quint to cede the territory.
Boris is really worried that the Black Iron Earl will also be concerned about him.
It would be very uncomfortable for a baron to be interested in a count, even if he was not a direct lord.
"Boris, I have obtained the territory contract and the yellow elf from Quint. Do you think that even if I don't take this trebuchet, the Black Iron Earl will cause trouble to me?"
"definitely will!"
"That's right. Since he will always make trouble for me, why don't I take more points at once? Moreover, we are vassals of the Tulip family, so he won't directly send troops to attack me!" Nalant was really worried at this time.
It became hob meat.
"This...should not be possible!" Boris thought for a moment and shook his head.
Although the Storm Territory is Nalant's territory, it is also the territory of the Tulip Family. If the Black Iron Earl directly sends troops, no matter what the cause is, the Tulip Family cannot sit idly by.
Therefore, the Black Iron Earl has only two ways to deal with Nalant. One is to openly negotiate with the Tulip family to ask for an explanation, and the other is to secretly send someone to trouble Nalant.
The second thing is not to mention, Boris feels that he can't help, and he is not sure whether the Black Iron Earl will do it.
After a pause, Boris focused on the first method, "Nalant, are you sure our Lord Earl will help you then!"
After hearing this, Nalant thought for a moment, then shook his head, "It's hard to say this now, but no matter what, the earl won't really ignore me!"
Nalant kept talking about it, but in fact he had also considered these issues and already had some ideas.
The Charlie incident in Sir Valade's caravan, plus Quint's use of barbarians to frame him.
These two actions are tantamount to Quint's murder of the nobleman Nalant, and the evidence is conclusive.
Therefore, Narant can package himself as a victim and stand on the moral high ground.
And he himself brought dark creatures to invade the Quint Territory. This was an unexpected incident.
His strength is low, and it is a helpless move to lead towards Quint in order to survive. He cannot be asked to stand and wait to die.
Although he blackmailed Quint now, he also saved Quint and wiped out all the dark creatures in Quint's territory.
After all the calculations, as long as the Earl is a little partial, there shouldn't be much of a problem on the surface.
Of course, the only thing he can't control is what the Earl's attitude will be when the time comes.
Will he favor him under the pressure of the Black Iron Earl? After all, he, Nalant, is nothing now.
The only identity bargaining chip is that he is the second son of Andrew. This identity may be of some use to the Earl.
Nalant was already prepared to send a messenger to give his father some air as soon as he returned to the castle.
What is really more dangerous is that he needs to be prepared for the Dark Iron Earl's secret attack. Therefore, after Nalant returns, he prepares to strengthen the security of the territory. He needs to react whenever there is any trouble.
"By the way Boris, I invited you to come for the exercise this time. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing!"
"To express my apology, when you go back, I will give you two of the trebuchets!"
Putting down the troublesome matters for the time being, Nalant changed the topic to the ownership of the trebuchet.
"Give it to me?" Boris was stunned.
"Yes, this time I won the yellow elf and the territory. You also contributed a lot this time, so you can use the two trebuchets!"
"I...I still don't need it, Nalant. In fact, even if you have a contract, it may not be easy to really get the territory of Quint!" Boris swallowed hard.
He was naturally covetous of this trebuchet, which was a deadly weapon in war and was as powerful as dozens of archers.
However, he is really not as courageous as Nalant. He is afraid that if he accepts it, he will attract the revenge of the Black Iron Earl.
Besides, Narant had spent so much effort to get it, and he was too embarrassed to accept it, and there were two of them.
"Quint has already signed and pledged that territory. You have to acknowledge it if you don't want to. Who knows that Quint has already sworn an oath to the God of Glory!"
"As for this trebuchet, Boris, don't refuse, just accept it! This time the Black Iron Earl probably hates me the most. Your territory is not bordered by the Black Iron Earl's territory, so you are afraid of what he will do."
Narant directly waved his hand to Boris not to shirk.
In fact, when he tricked Quint's trebuchet this time, Nalant wanted to give it to Boris as a sweetener. Otherwise, Boris would be frightened out of his heart this time. If he didn't make up for it, he would definitely not get along with him next time.
I am a little friend who deceives my teammates.
Of course, there is actually another reason why Nalant would be so generous.
That's because as a time traveler, he lived in a world where aircraft and cannons could be made in his previous life. Although he couldn't master those high technologies, he could still understand the principles of some simple ancient instruments.
As long as he spends some time thinking about trebuchets, crossbows, etc., he is sure to make them, and they will not be worse than in this world.
Therefore, he only needs to leave one trebuchet behind so that he can deeply understand the structure, and then imitate or innovate to make it. Wouldn't it be more delicious?
The extra two trebuchets are used as favors, which also maximizes profits.
"This...that...ok! Thank you very much, Narant!" Boris, who originally felt that he had been cheated this time, reappeared on his face, and his eyes when he looked at Narant even gleamed.
I feel that although this ally is a bit deceitful, he is still a nice person.
This trebuchet is a good thing. If you have money, you can't buy it anywhere. Even if you don't use it normally, it will be very dignified if you put it on the castle.
Next, Nalant and others moved forward and encountered many corpses of dead Quint guards on the road.
Narant immediately ordered the guards to collect all their weapons and equipment and put them on the carriage.
Although the weapons and equipment of these guards were not in good condition due to the fierce fighting, taking them back to dismantle and repair them was still a good thing.
You must know that there were hundreds of Quint guards who died on the road this time, and all of them were equipped with armor and weapons.
