Therefore, even if Chen Mo privately occupied the territory of the noble baron under his command, he did not make any reaction, but just watched from the sidelines.
In this way, a year passed quickly, and this mysterious lord did not do much except frequently purchasing various ores and other resources from surrounding territories.
Until a few days ago, he received a letter from this mysterious lord, hoping to buy a batch of fine war horses from him at a high price. He also stated that due to the limited military strength in the territory, he hoped that Count Warren would send someone to escort him to the territory and accompany the letter with him.
Also sent was a large piece of extremely pure gold.
According to the price of war horses at this time, this gold is enough to buy the war horses he needs. However, Lord Gu said in the letter that these are only half of the deposit. After the war horses are escorted to his territory, he will pay the remaining half of the gold.
.
Although as a great lord, Earl Warren owned a vast territory and more than a dozen vassal nobles. The annual income from the territory plus the taxes paid by his subordinate nobles amounted to a huge sum of money.
But at the same time, maintaining the luxurious life of the nobles and supporting the powerful army under his command also cost him more than half of his funds, and what Chen Mo spent can be regarded as a huge sum of money.
Sell Chen Mo a hundred war horses at more than twice the price. From Count Warren's point of view, he really had no reason to refuse.
Even if Chen Mo had a war horse, it would be impossible to train a powerful cavalry unit in a short time. Any knight could only be born after more than ten years of careful training and life and death experience.
Moreover, Earl Warren still has his own thoughts.
Initially frightened by Chen Mo's appalling strength and the large number of werewolf corpses, as time passed slowly and Chen Mo did not make any move, Count Warren gradually had other ideas.
Knights are already the strongest fighting force among humans. Even the most powerful knight cannot defeat a werewolf alone, let alone kill dozens of werewolves alone.
This is simply impossible!
The more he thought about this matter, the more Earl Warren became suspicious of Chen Mo. How could human beings be so powerful? Now that he thought about it carefully, this matter itself was very strange, and it was a bit too absurd.
The fact that Chen Mo killed dozens of werewolves alone has always been just a legend, and no one saw it with his own eyes.
As for the pile of werewolf corpses, Count Warren guessed that the original lord and the knights and soldiers under his command probably died together with the werewolves. These werewolf corpses were specially collected after Chen Mo discovered them, specifically to scare them.
He originally intended to test Chen Mo, but before he could make any move, Chen Mo showed up to the door himself.
Looking at the gold packed in the box with the letter, Count Warren was surprised that Chen Mo was so negligent, and at the same time he also became extremely interested in the wealth in Chen Mo's hands.
What kind of huge wealth did this mysterious lord who suddenly appeared have in his hands that he would so easily offer twice the price to buy valuable war horses from him in large quantities, and put such a large sum of gold directly in a box?
My soldiers sent it, but they didn't even connect the chain.
Is he too rich to care, or is he too stupid to be defensive?
How could Count Warren know that Chen Mo's ability to penetrate people's hearts, combined with his keen perception and extremely developed brain?
One year is enough for Chen Mo to thoroughly understand the hearts of everyone under his command.
Chen Mo knew each of their personalities, moral character, family situation, behavior style, and degree of loyalty to him.
Not to mention that the soldiers he sent would not disobey his orders and open the box privately. Even if he accidentally knew that there was a huge amount of gold inside, it was basically impossible for him to betray him and abscond with the money.
Not to mention, this soldier was a filial son, and it was even more impossible for him to betray Chen Mo for gold, regardless of his parents.
Gradually losing his fear of Chen Mo's strength, and coveting Chen Mo's vast wealth, Count Warren immediately decided to agree to Chen Mo's request, and sent a knight force powerful enough to wipe out any of his subordinate territories. The purpose was
Find out Chen Mo’s true identity, kill him, and get all the gold back!
At this time, five days had passed since Earl Warren sent the knights.
This place is not too far from Chen Mo's territory. It can be reached in a day at the fastest with the speed of the cavalry. However, the knights bring a large number of horses, and the speed will definitely be affected. Plus the time spent in Chen Mo's territory, it is almost the same.
came back.
Wonder how much gold his knights brought him?
If it is enough, he will build a more majestic and luxurious castle.
Just when Count Warren was thinking about what his new castle should look like, the sound of rolling horse hooves suddenly reached his ears.
My knights must be back!
A hint of joy appeared on Count Warren's face, and he couldn't wait to see what the Knights had gained.
He wanted to know how much wealth the lord who had deceived him for a whole year left him and whether it was enough to atone for his sins.
Pretending to be calm, he slowly stood up from the chair and calmly arranged his gorgeous noble robes. Just as Count Warren was about to go to the castle gate to greet his victorious knights in person, he was startled by the sound of the alarm bell that followed.
He stopped and stood there blankly, without reacting for a long time.
It’s been a long time since I remembered the alarm bell in the castle. The last time was when the werewolves attacked a few years ago.
The territories of more than a dozen vassal nobles distributed on the periphery of his direct territory are his natural barrier against external attacks. Except for the swift and stealthy werewolves, no one can silently break through the territories of the peripheral nobles and directly attack his castle.
Unless, the territory under his command rebels!
In the territory near him, there are a large number of war horses, and they are coming at this time...
A terrible thought flashed through his mind, could it be him!
Doesn't that mean...?!
Count Warren was extremely hopeful at this moment that the soldiers guarding the watchtower had mistaken the situation, or even if other nobles under him rebelled, in short, it must not be Chen Mo who came!
Although he knew that this was almost impossible, just by listening to the loud sound of horse hooves in the distance, he knew that the number of horses in this team must be more than a hundred, and the only one with such a number of horses under his command was the one who had just purchased from him
Chen Mo from War Horse.
If it was really Chen Mo who came, it meant that his knights had been killed, and Chen Mo was indeed as powerful as the legend. He didn't think that Chen Mo could train such powerful soldiers in just one year.
, kill dozens of knights he sent.
Legends that he thought were rumors appeared in his mind again. How should he deal with such a powerful Chen Mo?
They must not be allowed in!
Thinking of this, Earl Warren no longer cared about maintaining the noble manners, pushed away the coffee table filled with various precious fruits in front of him, and rushed towards the city wall with the two knights.
At this time, outside the castle, a group of men and horses were all wearing cold silver armor. The heavy armored knights numbered more than a hundred people, carrying an indomitable momentum. Under the leadership of a black-robed knight, they were like an army.
The silver sword rushed straight towards the castle gate.
