Chapter 465. Negotiations with the Wayne family
While Viscount Wayne and the other Barons were embarrassed, on the flat and barren land of the Northern County Lord, the group had begun to advance, forming a long dragon with the goal of Grothenburg.
It was the government and political center of the Northern County Lord, and it was also the family residence of Viscount Wayne.
To the north is the wilderness.
To the south is the more fertile Lion Mountain.
Numerous streams converge in the mountains, most of which flow to the south, but a small number to the north, forming small streams that barely nourish the soil at the foot of the mountain.
At the very least, Viscount Wayne's family can be self-sufficient in agriculture.
It's the only good place in the North Commandery.
But now this good place has seen a lot of changes.
Right on the walls of Grothenburg, the troops responsible for guarding the castle were on standby.
Swordsmen and shieldmen, pikemen, archers, and crossbowmen were also on standby behind the gates and on the city walls, all fully equipped with weapons, nearly 1,000 people, all of whom were elite, resolute and fearless of life and death.
These are the true foundations that the Wayne family has trained and cultivated over the course of a hundred years.
There are even 2 great knights in this group.
With the addition of Viscount Wayne and the 6 big knights below, the Wayne family already has 9 big knights.
I have to say that these nobles are really cleverly hidden, in the official records of the Lion Principality, Viscount Wayne of the Northern County Territory is the great knight, and there is no one else but him.
But if you think about it carefully, there are 2 people even at the Solid Stone Pass, plus the castle where Viscount Kevin is located.
It's all too good to hide!
But even so.
It didn't matter to the cavalry below, outside the castle, who numbered close to 3,000.
The 50 royal knights are all great knights, and they have mastered extraordinary strength, except that they can't directly attack the city, but in the field, they can form an assault force of such a scale, and they can easily cut through the infantry phalanx of tens of thousands of people.
With those 1,500 heavy cavalry and 1,300 light cavalry, it is no problem to defeat an infantry cluster of less than 30,000 people!
Even without these royal knights.
The number of heavy cavalry and light cavalry alone was enough to deter.
Now, the members of the Wayne family were already trembling with fear, even the sons of Viscount Wayne, wearing heavily armed chain mail and chain mail, their faces were still pale.
Heavy cavalry troops of this scale are rare in the Northern County Territory.
The most critical thing is.
His father was inside.
And also ask yourself, open the door to these strange troops.
Thinking of the past, the aristocratic coalition army went together to attack the stormy stone pass, and now they are being coerced back by a strange army, thinking about the ending, it is really not difficult to guess, it is definitely defeated.
If it's an ordinary defeat, it's just a big deal to close the castle and hold on.
But his own father.
The heads of the Wayne family are all underneath.
How, so that these young people really don't know how to be good.
But more than that, after a brief meeting, they decided not to open the city gates.
Now there is still talk of opening the city gates and letting that strange army storm the castle, then there is nothing to talk about, and even their safety will not be guaranteed, let alone the families inside.
The Wayne family can be without a family head, but it must not be severed!
It's not that the head of the family has never died on the battlefield.
But there is a point.
As a noble family, you must not cut off all your bloodline!
The bloodline indicates the inheritance of the family, look at the once glorious families in history, but in the end the inheritance was cut off because all the members were killed, which also means that the glory of the family is cut off and completely wiped out in history.
Although their Wayne family is not a high-ranking family, it is definitely not a small family.
If you can occupy the North County Territory, you can see your own strength.
I want to continue.
Learn how to sacrifice!
Even those young people, who had not yet completely taken over the family, also had thoughts in their hearts.
Once, their father, Viscount Wayne, was still in the prime of life, so it was not their turn to speak, and now suddenly their father was captured, and he went into battle to control the power of the family, this kind of feeling... Very good!
Even in less than half a day, the hearts of the entire family gathered into their hearts.
Because now they are in danger of perdition.
There is no way.
That's why we can unite as one!
However, just when this group of people wanted to get into trouble, an envoy arrived.
Fatis himself led the team, followed by 10 royal knights, and went to the gate to tell the defenders above that they wanted to talk.
The willingness to negotiate was quickly determined, and a huge basket was put down on the city wall, just enough to seat 3 people, and Fatis was not surprised, and took 2 royal knights to the city wall to negotiate with the infantry of the Wayne family who were secretly on guard.
As an experienced nobleman, Fatis also sensed their uneasiness.
A smile at the corners of the mouth.
Fatis looked elegant: "We don't have any hostile thoughts. ”
"Really?" In charge of the negotiations was Viscount Wayne's eldest son and first in line to the throne: "Then please send my father back to the castle, and then ask your troops to leave the castle within 3 kilometers." ”
"That's actually okay." Fatis smiled and nodded.
"Okay?" The eldest son frowned: "So what do you mean, there is a price?" ”
"That's right!"
Fatis nodded.
Looking at this eldest son who is the same age as himself: "Logistics supply, this is our price!" ”
"Huh?" The eldest son's face was stunned: "What do you want to do?" He looked at Fatis like a madman: "I know that you are Baron Kant's subordinates, but you must know that the troops of the Southern County Commander are ten times stronger than the Northern County Commander, this is definitely not alarmist, this is a fact!" ”
"Really?"
Fatis chuckled.
But his words remained firm: "I still need to tell you, give my troops a logistical supply, and then nothing, or we will do something irrational." ”
"Yes!" The eldest son had no objections, gritted his teeth and said, "But I can only secretly fund you and not sign any contract!" ”
"No problem!"
Fatis smiled and nodded: "Happy cooperation." ”
But the eldest son silently said, "What about my father? And the troops that my father took away, I need to meet them! He said, his tone was extremely solemn: "The nobles of the Nanjun Territory are absolutely powerful in our eyes, and it is impossible for us to follow you to attack the Nanjun Territory, especially when you fail, we will be liquidated!" ”
"That's not going to work." Fatis still chuckled: "Your Wayne family is already willing to cooperate with us, and at the same time, Viscount Wayne has also represented the Wayne family and is loyal to Baron Kant, this is a fact!" ”
