King of German Mercenaries

A family on the easternmost beach on the island of Schiemonek looking southeast - that's the direction of East Friesland...

Mrs. Mary was overwhelmed with sighs and emotions. She seemed to think of the time when she was fleeing as a child, while old Hoffman said nothing, just hugged his wife tightly...

Marin felt that the timing was good, so he set aside the three little guys and the guards, and solemnly said to Mrs. Mary:

"Mother, I want to retake East Friesland!"

Mrs. Mary was stunned, and Old Hoffman's mouth grew in surprise. Even Adler and Liv, who were originally with you and me, turned their heads in surprise...

"Are you crazy? Marin, how can East Frisian be so good!" Madame Marie rebuked. Although Mrs. Mary is smart, she is also comparable to old Hoffman. After all, she has been trapped in Hoffman Manor for many years. Although she is a talented woman, her knowledge is inevitably limited. Moreover, she also has a habit of thinking, thinking that it is difficult for a knight family to compete with a country.

"No, I'm not crazy, mother, do you still remember the previous war? Didn't the mighty Frisian Republic be defeated by me? What's more, I'm still a side branch of the Brock family, and I have the Brock family on my body. bloodline..."

"However, my parents belonged to an intermarriage of nobles, and I am not eligible to inherit East Frisian, let alone you..." Madam Marie hesitated.

"Even if you are eligible to inherit, our Adlers will have priority!" Liv, who was outspoken, interjected. Adler frowned, but still didn't say anything.

"Marin, my son, I know that you fight a lot. However, winning a battle and occupying a country are two completely different things... To become a count of the Counties of East Friesland, you not only need a strong force, It also needs legal support!" Old Hoffman interjected. He's not smart, but he's not stupid either. In this era, the inheritance of European aristocracy paid the most attention to legal principles. Only legitimate children are eligible to inherit their father's title. Even if there are no legitimate children, it is a collateral inheritance in the family, and it is not an illegitimate child. If it is not according to the law, those nobles who have no legal children will definitely be happy to leave the family business to the illegitimate children, not those nephews and the like. However, the jurisprudence is the jurisprudence, and the nobles must abide by it...

"Yes, I no longer have the legal possibility of inheriting the East Frisian Country, because my mother is from a commoner family. So, child, even if you lay down East Frisland, it will be difficult to be recognized and accepted. No. My parents were intermarriage between nobles, so I guess I'm still being hunted down..." Madam Mary said calmly.

"What if... I can find the law? Mother, are you willing to appoint me as your heir?"

"Why? Even if the legal theory is found, it will be inherited by our Adler!" Liv was not a woman willing to suffer, and she was a little outspoken.

"Liv, don't talk about it, there is no shadow of this, what are you arguing about?" Adler pulled his daughter-in-law.

"Uh... Sister-in-law, even if you find the law, if you can conquer East Frisian, I have no problem with my elder brother inheriting East Frisian..." Marin spread his hands indifferently. Not to mention that others can't figure out how to forge documents with fakes and reals, but even if there are documents, heavy troops will have to go to take down East Frisian. Besides, East Frisian's combat power is very strong, at least stronger than the Frisian Aristocratic Republic.

"Father, mother, I'm sure I'll take East Frisian. But if I'm not the heir, I don't want to do thankless things..."

"Are you sure?" Old Hoffman asked seriously.

"Of course, the two most difficult fortresses in East Frisian to conquer are the capital Emden and the important city Aurich. But Aurich was originally the base camp of the Blok family, the blood of the Blok family, and it is still there. There is some appeal. As long as you capture Emden, where the Serksner family is located, and capture the current earl, then everything will be easy..."

"Then why are you talking to us about this?"

"First establish the issue of inheritance rights,

Otherwise, I will not send troops in vain? "

The family was silent, only Liv's face was full of resentment.

"What are you going to do?" It wasn't the old Hoffmans who spoke first, but Adler.

In fact, Adler also went through a fierce ideological struggle. The temptation of the earl's position almost made him feel lost. But calm down, Adler knew, it was just a dream. Even with the de jure inheritance, without an army, Adler would not have been able to defeat East Frisian, not at all. Even, because of this inheritance, he will be hunted endlessly.

"Adler, I would like to ask you to sign an instrument stating in writing that you will renounce the succession of the county of East Friesland..."

"Why?" Liv quit again...

"If I can't think of a way, let alone Adler, even my mother has no legal right of inheritance at all. But I can find a way to prove that my mother has the right to inherit. Without my way, Adler would have no right to inherit. This, you understand ?" Marin explained, holding back his impatience. He now regrets leaving Liv, a stupid woman, to participate in such a big event. He just came to make trouble...

"It's true, your mother does not have the right to inherit. If she still has the right to inherit, the country of East Friesland will definitely not let her go." Old Hoffman nodded and agreed with Marin.

"But after I tried my best to prove my mother's inheritance, the first in line was not me. Then, my efforts were in vain. I can't give everything I have, and fight my life to help Adler build a country Right? You know, I'm the baron myself..."

Everyone nodded in understanding...

Indeed, no one in this world is a fool. Even though Marin and Adler were brothers, he did not do his best to help Adler build a country. At most, among brothers, help each other in some things within their power.

Marin's attack on the East Frisian country was actually a gamble. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If you fail, you may never be able to do it again. Because Marin initiated the war, even if the counties of East Friesland occupied the Wadden Islands, Marin had nothing to say. Because if you dare to invade others, you must be prepared to be slapped by others.

Therefore, Marin has no problem in laying down a small village or a knight's collar for Adler, that is what he can do. But for Adler to attack a country, that is impossible.

Moreover, Mrs. Mary did not have the qualification to inherit the position of earl. If Marin found a way to find this qualification, the credit is indeed mainly attributed to Marin.

Everyone understands what Marin meant. To put it bluntly, Marin wanted to get the qualifications before he started, so as to avoid disputes in the future. Everyone can see that if the matter mentioned by Marin is not handled properly, there will definitely be problems in the future. Not to mention anything else, Eliv's unwillingness to take losses, if this matter is not dealt with in advance, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.
