"This...did I hear it wrong just now? What did Earl Black Iron say? Nalant forced his second son to cede his territory, and also took away three trebuchets?"
"Well, you heard that right, you missed one yellow elf!"
"Then Quint is a baron, right? Or the Black Iron Earl has a second son, and Nalant seems to be a baron even if he has his father Andrew, right? Can these be compared together?"
"How old is this? Are you still trying to force nobles to cede their land?"
As the Black Iron Earl spoke, the crowd was in an uproar.
This news was as explosive as the Earl's on-the-spot announcement to recruit Lant as his son-in-law.
This was the second son of an earl, and he was ripped off by a little-known Narant who had only been a knight for three months.
They really didn't know whether Nalant was too bold or whether Quint was too weak.
Perhaps Nalant feels that the Honorable Black Iron Family can no longer afford the sword?
"Kaman, are you sure it's Nalant?" Not to mention the vassals around, even the few earls around didn't believe it.
Comparing their feelings, they felt that if their heirs could be blackmailed by a little knight, they might as well just go back to their old ways.
"Bernard, it's you who has your vassal Nalant!" Kaman said with certainty, paused, and then said, "Let my second son tell you the story!"
As Kaman spoke, Quint stood up immediately.
Although Quint felt like a clown under the strange gazes of everyone, in order to get back his belongings, Quint told everything about what happened that night.
Of course, now that he has a backer, he can naturally describe how bad Nalant is, and how bad he is.
For example, Nalant invaded his territory with dark creatures without permission, and then his castle was breached, and all the guards and servants were slaughtered.
In addition, Quint also focused on how Narant refused to save his life and forced him to sign a humiliating and unequal treaty.
When everyone around heard this, they were all stunned. Nalant was so cheating, and they couldn't help but feel pity for Quint.
Especially when Quint said that he didn't need Nalant's treatment, but Nalant wanted to buy and sell him by force. He just helped him bandage and fix it, and then snatched away three trebuchets. Everyone was speechless for a while.
When Kunt heard that he was sad, he was crying and he was complaining, everyone couldn't help but look at Narant.
"Narant, Boris, is what Quint said about the Black Iron family true?" Bernard asked.
Faced with this question, some people with Boris on the side did not know how to answer.
Fortunately, Nalant still looked normal at this moment, and Nalant stood up immediately.
"Your Excellency, I will report to you the matter and ask you to make the decision for me!"
"What's going on?" Bernard was stunned.
"My Lord Earl, I want to accuse this Quint of being shameless and despicable, and trying to murder me over and over again!"
"The Earl should know about one of them. He placed guards in Sir Valad's caravan, intending to destroy the Storm Territory and assassinate me. The witness was handed over to you, Earl, last time!"
"In addition, in fact, earlier, Quint had sent people to deliberately lure barbarians into invading my territory..."
Next, Narant also began to make vivid accusations.
As for the evidence, although Nalant did not bring anyone with him this time, the confessions and detailed information of the guard prisoners were brought over by Narant.
These include the positions that Quint's guards have, as well as their family situations.
This information cannot be verified by the small nobles, but it is very simple for the big nobles to verify it. Each of them has spies planted.
Besides, as for the witnesses returned in Nalant’s territory, it’s only a matter of time before they can be brought over now.
"Wow! There is such a thing, hundreds of barbarians, how come Sir Narant is still alive today?"
For a moment, the nobles seemed to have eaten a big melon. It was hard to believe how Nalant resisted the barbarian invasion when hundreds of people were invaded.
"Please, Lord Earl, make the decision for me!" After submitting the evidence, Narant finally ended his speech.
"Kaman, what do you think about this matter?" Bernard took a deep look at Nalant, with surprise in his eyes, and then looked at Kaman.
Obviously, Quint did not tell the Black Iron Earl about this matter. At this time, the Black Iron Earl couldn't help but look at Quint.
As a result, Quint's eyes dodge, and the previous guards had detailed information, and Carman knew that his second son had indeed done it.
This made him a little angry. If his second son had explained the situation earlier, he could have made arrangements in advance to deal with those guards and their families, so that the evidence Nalan had had would no longer be evidence.
Fortunately, there is a crime of murdering nobles, which is more serious than Nalant luring dark creatures into Quint territory.
Quint actually didn't expect that several of his guards would be captured. He always felt that the guards were either killed by Nalant or simply killed by barbarians.
Otherwise, how could Nalant have endured it for so long and only reported it to Bernard now.
Could it be that he was just waiting for the invasion of dark creatures to use it as a way to offset his mistakes?
In fact, Quint was not wrong. The reason Nalant did not have an attack for so long was because he could predict the invasion of dark creatures and planned everything so that the two people's faults would cancel each other out.
Otherwise, how could he, a little knight, have the confidence to escape unharmed after the invasion?
Otherwise, with the evidence in hand, he would have come to the Earl to complain, and then extorted money.
"Bernard, then this is no excuse for you, a vassal, to rob my Black Iron territory and those three trebuchets!" After pondering for a moment, the Black Iron Earl finally had to change his mind.
The aggressive and imposing manner at first has calmed down.
Comparing the culpability of Nalant and Quint, in the end, Quint was more guilty.
Murdering a noble lord is a capital crime. Even if he protects her, it is still possible that if the situation gets too big and the title is deprived of her, she will never be able to join the nobility.
Even if Nalant suffers the same crime at that time, it will be because his Black Iron Family is not worth it.
"Kaman, how do you want to solve it?"
"Bernard, let you, the vassal, tear up the contract to cede the territory and return the three trebuchets, and this matter will be solved!"
"Father, the yellow one I returned..."
Quint was anxious when he realized that his father had forgotten to mention the yellow elf.
Unexpectedly, he was only halfway through his words when he was glared at by Kaman.
Obviously, the Black Iron Earl was ready to settle the matter, and also offered the yellow elf some benefits.
Of course, this is also because Kaman doesn't know what kind of mine is in the yellow elf, otherwise he wouldn't choose this way even if he didn't want the territory.
Bernard nodded, feeling that Kaman had intentions, and immediately looked towards Nalant.
"My Lord Earl, I disagree. This is my reward for saving Quint, otherwise he would be dead!"
"However, I am not unreasonable. Since the Black Iron Earl said so, I am willing to return a trebuchet!"
"I have the others, but I won't return them, otherwise I might as well let Quint and I have a life-and-death duel, and whoever loses gets it!"
If there was something in his mouth, how could Narant vomit it out?
"..."
The vassals didn't realize it, but now they know that Nalant is surprisingly courageous.
Whoever dares to say that Narant is timid and cowardly will have to spit hard in the future.
This is already the second count he has attacked!
