Tuman walked over and six infantrymen behind him took out crossbows at the same time.
Oran gave him all the training of crossbowmen.
"Miss Sally, Your Excellency Oran invites you to meet."
Tuman stared at Sally. She was interested in this woman's appearance and wanted to take a closer look now.
Sally bit her lip tightly, then she thought about something, breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended to be relaxed, "Let's go."
She didn't make any noise, didn't question, and didn't want to get into trouble with these people. Only when she met Oran would she have the chance to change everything.
Even in difficult situations, you must remain calm and do not give up.
Sally's appearance was outstanding, and her temperament was not comparable to that of a farm girl. Even Marcus looked at her twice, and he expected to cry.
"Put down your weapons and don't increase unnecessary casualties."
"Miss!"
"Put it down. Let's be guests of Mr. Oran. It's safe."
Sally then pushed Cledon's sword away with her fingertips and prepared to follow Tuman.
Clayton didn't expect Sally to be neither noisy nor fussy, and didn't even look at him. He was angry in his heart. He didn't want to be looked down upon like this!
"Stop!" Clayton said to Tuman and others, "Your Excellency Oran has given her to me, and she should stay with me."
"Knight Clayton, the order we received is to bring Mr. Earl and Miss Sally back. That's all. Even though there is only one of them now, we should do it."
Tuman put his hand on the sword at his waist and thought, "Are you kidding me? You can get your hands on this kind of woman?"
Marcus also took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to signal Sally to come over.
Clayton drew his sword in anger, pulled Sally back first, and then struck forward.
"Upper section?"
Marcus ducked backwards to avoid his opponent's angry blow.
The two of them were not as friendly as they had been during their midnight conversation in front of the guard tower a few days ago.
Clayton is also a good knight, but unfortunately there is a big gap between him and Marcus, a knight who survived the death journey.
Clayton was angry and had nowhere to go, so he swung his sword randomly.
Marcus made a move and dodged three more swords.
Then he pulled him to Clayden's side, quickly leaned back, and tricked Clayden into sweeping his sword, and then...
boom!
Marcus stepped hard, his sword rushed forward like a cannon, aimed at Clayden's left shoulder, and stabbed him.
He gave up his hand and stabbed the air.
Clayton wanted to move again, but Marcus turned his wrist and lowered the sword by two points, just placing it on Clayden's shoulder and neck.
"Don't mess around, I will kill you!"
Marcus withdrew his sword and straightened the slightly crooked mask on his face.
Clayton was stunned, watching Sally and others leave him.
There are only a few private soldiers left around him.
Finally he roared and had no choice but to lead others to follow him.
Marcus brought his own private soldiers on the border, who guarded Sally in the middle.
Except for the family cemetery, all his territory was taken back by Oran.
But Oran told him that as long as the term expires for two years, not only will these territories be returned to him, but he will also be granted the title of "Baron".
Marcus didn't believe this kind of beautiful promise about the future.
After fighting for it, he selected 20 people from the original people to leave. In the past month, he added another number and expanded it to 30 people.
And they chose a place to live in a small valley east of King's Landing as a temporary territory.
Tuman originally wanted to escort Sally alone to claim credit in front of Oran, but Marcus was dissatisfied with this approach.
In the middle, he actually asked his soldiers to bump into Marcus's soldiers, but Marcus, who had sharp eyesight and quick hands, drew his sword and knocked him to the ground, and stabbed the man between his legs with his sword.
"Whoever acts recklessly again, I will kill him and report back that he was killed by Miss Sally's people when he invited her to be a guest."
With a move of three fingers, Alger's sword-drawing skill that shocked Alger was displayed again. The moment Marcus stood up, he bucked the trend and sheathed his sword.
Marcus is crazy. From the day he joined the Oran camp, he refused to give face to anyone except Oran.
Because he knows a lot about Olan's temper.
As long as he is respectful and loyal to Oran and can help him kill people and relieve his worries, Oran will not care how arrogant he is in private.
Oran obviously prefers this kind of subordinates with outgoing personalities because they are easy to manipulate.
Marcus did not take anyone back to the Oran territory, but transferred directly to Haizhen and sent another person to report back to Oran. This caused Tuman to be dissatisfied, but Marcus replied, "Your Excellency said, let us adapt to the situation. Although we did not arrest We live in Er, but we have a pair of his sons and daughters, and the lives of several of his knight captives are also in our hands. As a condition for opening the city, it is enough.
It would be unnecessary to take someone to see Your Excellency and ask him to take us to walk the road to Earle Castle again. "
Marcus was extremely strong, so no one said a word except for a break during the escort.
And he guessed correctly. One day later, Olan arrived with people. He also loaded the disabled Chuuken in a carriage.
The thirteen-year-old boy was in high spirits in the castle a few days ago.
Now his hair is disheveled, his eyes are dull, his face is stained with tears and snot, and he cannot even walk. He has to be supported by two people.
No matter how strong Sally is, she can't help but shed tears when she sees her brother like this.
"Well done, Tuman, Marcus, and our loyal and amiable Clydon. I will reward you three. After taking the city, each of you will add 'a town' of land."
"Sir, I don't want these, you promised me." Clayton pointed at Sally.
"I have not forgotten it, but what we said is that we will settle this dispute before we discuss it. Don't worry, I will reward you with a sacred wedding that will be unforgettable and recorded in the records."
Oran patted Clayton on the shoulder, "Go down, I still have something to discuss with Miss Sally. The things you are 'worried about' are not something Ben is interested in and will not do. The maid will take care of her."
Orlando made it clear that he was not interested in Sally, so Clayton had no choice but to retreat.
In the spacious room, Chuuken was left half alive, Sally was angry, and Olan was proud.
"You win, I'm willing to do anything, don't let my brother suffer like this, let my father go."
"Uncle Ben is not a bad person. Your brother provoked the Vikings. He was injured by Haman's men, and I avenged him.
Your father is a noble, and so are you. I will give you respect,
I will let him get drunk every day and not have to worry about any political affairs,
I will heal your brother properly and bring him back to life,
As for you, tell me what you talked about with the Vikings, and how are you going to deal with me?"
"When you take down the sixth village fort, we will act in advance and defeat you."
"The sixth village fort and the surrounding dry water wells are hollowed out. In order to fight against the Vikings, the manor owner prepared an escape route in advance and dug an escape passage that could accommodate one person.
As long as you hide some people, they will suddenly appear beside your bed in the middle of the night.
"It's amazing." Oran smiled half-heartedly.
"I didn't expect you to take action so early." Sally walked over, knelt down and hugged her brother.
"Don't be afraid, sister is here and I will take you home."
"Ah...ah..." Qiu Ken responded with difficulty.
The love between brother and sister is deep, Olan clapped his hands and said,
"You are left with an isolated city. A few days ago, more than 60 people were killed or injured in my hands. Defeat will happen sooner or later. Don't increase my anger and increase your casualties. Go back now and let your father open the city. I guarantee everything is safe."
After Oran finished speaking, he stretched out his finger to ask Sally to come over. Sally could only put down her brother and slowly approached.
The two looked at each other, and Sally shook her sleeves to let out a sharp long needle hidden in it. If she shook it again, it would fall into her hand.
The last time she negotiated with Haman, she almost used this trick to keep herself innocent.
But Olan's right hand suddenly used gravity, stretched out behind Sally's shoulder, and pushed her towards the wall behind her.
bump!
Sally's whole back hit the wall, and she frowned in pain.
"The beauty trap can seduce Haman and Clayton, but it is of no use to Ben. Don't be clever. You can't bear my anger. After persuading your father to surrender, we will work together to eliminate Haman. Then I will let you and Clayton , and Haman, hold a wedding feast for three.”
"You're crazy!"
"No, you are crazy. Uncle Ben is the sober one."
Olan squeezed Sally's shoulders hard, her pampered body couldn't bear it.
Finally, his back slipped from the wall and he sat on the ground.
Oran walked away.
And the moment Oran stretched out his hand, Sally saw white wings accompanied by a devil's face.
"Lord, please bless me and get rid of this devil!"
…
The next day, Oran recruited 200 people from the towns and territories around Haizhen as a team to persuade them to surrender.
Chuuken and Sally were placed in the same carriage.
Oran took Chuuken out and tied up the knights and soldiers who were not killed.
Oran wanted to hurry up, he sent Ke to board back in advance and told everything clearly.
Clayton avoided being killed by the angry Earl in the castle and only asked his own soldiers to report the news.
He was waiting at the foot of the city.
Oran's letter stated that Earl had prepared everything, opened the city and walked out to greet Oran, otherwise Oran would build a wooden wall outside the city and come out to kill one by one.
If this castle is stormed, Oran may have to pay more than 200 casualties.
But if we switch to this style of play, with Earl's hundreds of soldiers in the city now, if he dares to come out to look out, he will die.
There is also a pair of children who have fallen into the hands of Oran and have no chance.
In the hall, Earl asked the soldiers around him.
"Strike out?"
"Your Excellency, where will you go after the fight?"
Yes, where to go?
Earl came to the city tower in despair and looked into the distance.
Those black spots in the distance are town houses, but none of them belong to me now.
Ever since Shi Meng and Jin Ya disrupted the border and Oran entered, he had avoided fighting until now. He had never fought a single battle personally. Finally, when he wanted to fight, there was no one around and there was no chance.
Finally, he said with a cry, "Open... open the door."
When the main building of the city gate opened and the archers on the female wall no longer ambush, Clayton breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to approach.
When Oran's team approached and there was a commotion in the castle, Earl regretted it. He suddenly wanted to fight to the death, but as soon as he turned around, two castle servants serving his wife Nanbei blocked him.
Nan Bei, who accompanied him out, said, "We have reached this point. Don't struggle to the death. Nobles should be elegant, live elegantly, and surrender gracefully."
"What did you say?"
"I said, you are getting old and it's time to take a good rest."
As the mistress of the castle, Nanbei also has a few cronies here. They hold Earl up and wait for Oran.
When Orland came on horseback, Earl felt dizzy and weak in his legs.
Oran rode his horse over, followed by four horsemen to protect him, advancing and retreating together.
"Sir Earl, long time no see."
Oran looked down at Earl who fell to the ground. One of them was in the sun, the other was old and trembling. The former didn't even think of dismounting.
"Your Excellency." Nanbei stepped forward and stretched out his hand to shake Olan's hand.
"Come in with me, madam, everything will be different from now on." Oran still gives some face to those who help him.
But just like other castles he had conquered before, Oran waited for his men to go in and eliminate the danger before entering.
He no longer cared about what happened to Earl and the other prisoners.
He quickly entered the library.
One day, he will have a copy of every collection of books circulating in England.
In the study, the Sachs family's personal letters are the most numerous. After reading these, Olan will treat them as waste paper, followed by theology books.
A big problem with theological books is that because they are all handwritten records and handed down, there are often errors and omissions in words and sentences, and even knowledgeable priests use their own meaning to misinterpret the original author's meaning.
The text of the same theological book may differ by one-fifth or even more between the version fifty years ago and the version five years ago.
Under the influence of accumulation over time, doctrines changed, and different schools of sacred doctrine emerged in various regions.
For example, Irish priests differed from Franks in regarding celebration and sacrificial time and sacrifices.
In the eyes of the local lords, they all belonged to the "righteous faith of God", but in the eyes of the Roman priests, they were regarded as "heresies", and they were even more disgusted than "heretics".
Oran kept the theological books in a unified way, and found time to let the priests choose the best version, and selectively add some doctrines that were beneficial to the lord's rule.
What he wanted to see most was the various account books and information in his collar.
Look at the history of each village, town, and family to see if there are any hidden professional talents.
The dusty library is a treasure trove in his eyes.
Oran even forgot the time, and the Titan serving on the side was the same as him.
Subtly, Titan likes this kind of static situation more and more
At this time, Lord Oran is no longer so majestic and terrifying, and he can even ask questions he doesn't understand.
Tai Tan still remembers that when he was helping you tidy up the study room in "King's Landing", you were holding a book in your left hand and a wheat cake in your right hand, while looking at it with your feet up.
It was a geographical travel book obtained by the guild merchants from "Mercia", describing many Mediterranean port cities.
Your Excellency is fascinated by this, with crumbs falling all over your body.
I mustered up the courage to ask, "Sir, you make me feel that reading is so beautiful, more attractive than the aroma of food."
"Food strengthens the body, wealth improves status, and fame makes people desirable, but only reading can strengthen your soul and blood. When you understand this benefit, you will be like me and forget everything while reading."
From then on, no matter how difficult the book was, Tai Tan would just memorize it if he didn't understand it, and then ask the priests or scribes in his circle for help.
Agricultural books, craft books, medical books, and geography books, these four types are Oran's favorite, while Titan likes "law books".
He began to compare the punishments of lords from various places.
Stealing an apple ranges from beheading, hanging, and imprisonment.
With five lords, there could be five laws.
There is even additional liability for close relatives who commit crimes.
Extremely unfair.
Some people are born kind, but all they have is an opportunity to express themselves.
Titan has been hungry and knows the pain,
I have been treated like a dog and know the humiliation of wandering.
After his status improved, he wanted more people to live with hope like him.
It would be nice if the so-called "strict customary law" was no longer used, but a "fair law" covering all aspects.
Even small people have great ambitions. Tai Tan took the territory diary and wrote down various records of the lord's judgments, silently writing them down.
