The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Nalant decided to work harder to capture the city in the hinterland of Marquis Lisen.
The purpose is very simple, one of which is to force the Northern Principality to return reinforcements and relieve the pressure on the Agate Principality's army, as originally planned.
Although Nalant does not know the situation of the Agate Principality's army now, there is no need to think about it, it must be very desolate.
As long as the whole army is not wiped out, they will definitely still be chased and beaten by the army of the Northern Principality.
Secondly, it is a trophy.
Although the small nobles of the Northern Principality are somewhat poor, a large amount of their wealth consists of food and animals.
But a baron's castle would allow him to harvest at least 200 gold coins worth of loot, not including the ransom he would have to pay for the captured noble heirs.
Therefore, as long as he works hard enough and captures enough castles, it will be a very considerable income.
Guaranteed to make him a lot of money
…
"Let's go!" The next morning, Nalant had a delicious breakfast in the castle and then came to the vestibule.
Following the order, he led a team of dozens of carriages and continued deeper into the north.
Time flies so fast, and it’s noon again in a blink of an eye.
At this time, they finally arrived at the next target territory.
This is also a barony, the territory of a man named Baron Jindel.
When the team arrived outside the baronial town, they saw that the entire town was deserted. Apart from the mess on the streets, not a single person could be seen.
"It seems that the news has completely spread, but I don't know if it can achieve the effect I expected!" Looking at the empty town, Nalant was not surprised.
After all, he specially released four castle stewards last night to let them publicize his arrival.
This thing sounds ridiculous. If the enemy takes precautions in advance, isn't that causing trouble for himself?
In fact, this is not the case, everything has two sides.
Nalant's idea was to let these four stewards promote the superior combat power of their team and put pressure on the castles behind them.
As the stewards of the castle, I believe that many people know them, so that what they say can be believed by the nobles at the rear.
When these nobles believe in their own terror, they will naturally have fear and pressure in their hearts. Maybe they won't need to take the initiative to attack these castles, and they can just persuade them to surrender.
At present, it seems that publicizing the news of his arrival has been done.
As for whether he can persuade the following castles to surrender as he expected, he still needs to wait and try it out later.
Soon, Nalant led the team through the town and arrived directly outside the baron's castle in this territory.
"Coming! The enemy is coming!"
Dang Dang Dang!
As Nalant and others approached, a continuous sound of alarm bells immediately sounded from above the castle.
Groups of guards and serfs with weapons appeared on the wall, nervously watching Nalant and others approach.
Soon, the eldest son of the baron who stayed in the castle and a knight vassal appeared on the city wall.
"Uncle Neff, their number is exactly what the four stewards said last night!" The young heir swallowed and spoke to the family vassal next to him.
"Master Keira, you don't have to worry too much. Although the number of people is right, I still don't believe that the power of divine punishment will really appear in this world." Although the vassal Neff looked solemn, after all, he was older and had experienced life and death.
Having participated in many wars, I can still barely remain calm at this moment.
It turned out that the four castle stewards arranged by Nalant did pass by their Jindel Barony last night.
And he told Keira and Neff exactly what happened in their castle, which served as a warning to them.
But speaking of it, what the four housekeepers said was so fantastical that Keira and Neff almost arrested the four housekeepers as liars.
The reason is simple. When they heard at first that there was an enemy invasion and four castles had been captured, they still believed it.
Even if they heard that the enemy only had 500 people, but relied on trickery to capture three castles, this was still reasonable and acceptable to them.
But when several housekeepers talked about the fall of Baron Carlo Castle, it was hard for Keira and Neff to accept it, and they began to doubt the identities of the four people.
The reason is very simple, it's because of what the four butlers kept saying, 'The Wrath of Glory'.
As nobles, although they all believe in the existence of the God of Glory.
But this does not mean that they think that such fantastic things as divine punishment can occur in the world.
Moreover, this divine punishment can still produce a loud noise that shakes the earth, can directly blow the castle door into pieces, and can even kill people from more than ten meters away.
Isn't this a scene that only appears in those fantasy novels?
Therefore, both Keira and Neff felt that the four housekeepers were treating them as fools.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the steward of Kindel Castle and the steward of Baron Will's Castle hadn't gotten to know each other, which proved the true identities of the four people, otherwise the four people might have been dropped outside the castle and used as flags.
Of course, even though the identities of the four people were 100% confirmed and the four people gave repeated assurances, Keira and Neff were still doubtful about the divine punishment.
However, no matter what, since an enemy is coming, precautions are necessary.
And they specially sent several servants to accompany the four housekeepers along the road to Marquis Lisson's castle to report the news.
Since the enemy has captured four castles, the news must be conveyed to the Marquis.
…
"There are quite a lot of people. It seems that they have been preparing all night!"
When Narant arrived more than two hundred meters outside the castle, he could have a panoramic view of the situation above the castle without a telescope.
This time, the strength of the Jindel Baron Castle was larger than the previous encounters. A rough estimate showed that there were at least more than two hundred people.
Of course, more than 170 of them were also serfs armed with hatchets and dung forks.
However, the number of hunters has increased this time, and there are now more than twenty longbowmen on the castle.
"I hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot!" Nalant muttered. If it fails to achieve the desired effect, then he, the lord, will be very embarrassed.
"Quick, bring Ryan and the others!" After muttering, Nalant started to give orders without delay.
Whether it is self-defeating or not, we will know soon.
Of course, he did not go up to persuade him to surrender today.
After all, he is not very persuasive.
However, the few young nobles who were captured by him are the most suitable candidates to be the ones who are qualified to persuade them to surrender.
They are all vassal nobles of Marquis Lisen, so they must know each other, and the effect of their words must be stronger than that of his enemy.
Soon, the four Ryans were brought to Nalant.
Keelin, who was captured just last night, has already recovered a lot from his injuries.
Although his hearing has not completely recovered, he is able to walk freely thanks to the physical blessing of the title knight.
"Your Excellency Nalant, why did you ask me to come to my door?" Several people looked at Nalant with awe.
"It's nothing, I just want you to do me a favor!"
"Help?" the four of them were confused.
"Yes, you should have seen the power of divine punishment I used yesterday. It is not difficult for me to capture such a small castle!"
"It's just that one thing about me is that I love peace!"
"I can't bear the death of too many people because of the battle, so I need you to help me persuade the nobles in the castle to surrender!"
Do you love peace?
Then don’t we become apostles of the goddess of life?
The four people who heard this suddenly twitched their lips.
