Lord: Have many children and many blessings, build an empire from baron

"murder? Rebellion? How is this possible?"

In the hall of Tusk's castle, the nobles are talking non-stop.

Such news is too sensational.

A few days ago, everyone was still immersed in the cheerful atmosphere of the banquet.

Duke Vincent often drank with the guests.

Although he Old, but still kind to people.

And now he was murdered by Lynn?

How is this possible!

The nobles, together with their families, were controlled in the castle in the name of protection.

Now Duke Fitch is everywhere Since the death of Duke

Vincent, the castle has been under martial law.

According to the new Duke, he suspects that there are still Linn's accomplices in the castle, and he must wait until he investigates clearly.

"Lynn assassinated Duke Vincent? This makes absolutely no sense! They have never had any grudges, and the Duke has been very courteous to Sir Lynn these days. I really can't imagine him doing such a thing."

"I don't understand either. I always feel like there is some misunderstanding."

"Lin En has managed Mons well in the past two years. He now has a strong army and might be growing in ambition. Maybe he made some excessive demands to the Duke this time."

In the hall, there was a lot of noise and different opinions.

Some people questioned the truth about the Duke's death, and some people were looking for sufficient motives for Linn's behavior.

Fitch sat on the chair that originally belonged to his father. He found that no one was listening quietly. His opinion.

This made Fitch very angry.

He did not expect that more than half of these nobles did not believe that Linn murdered Vincent.

Fitch suddenly felt that it was lucky that Linn escaped.

Otherwise, he would have been on the spot. Caught.

He also doubted whether Linn could be convicted.

But Linn ran away.

Even if the murderer was not him, he now became the most suspected person.

There was another thing that gave Fitch a headache.

Since Linn After running away, his sister Diana also disappeared from the castle.

Fitch vaguely felt that she probably ran away with Linn.

If she was returning to the Knights of the Dawn, she wouldn't have left without saying goodbye.

These damn things Why are all the women so obsessed with Lynn? Now even Diana is no exception!

Fitch suddenly stood up.

With a face full of resentment, he said:"Everyone, I know you feel unbelievable about this matter.

I feel the same way, and I hope Lynn is innocent more than you do.

My father, the former ruler of the duchy, left the region of Mons under the rule of Linn.

And at the beginning of his reign, he specially sent many gifts.

But how did Lynn repay my father?

As you saw with your own eyes that night, Linn was invited to his room. Within half an hour, my guards found my father's body in the room.

You are sitting here fine now, and where is Lynn?

Where is his figure? There was also Sir Norton. He had probably been planning with his son-in-law for a long time, and after succeeding, the two of them absconded together.

I didn't believe that Lynn was the murderer of my father, but the reality is right in front of us!"

The hall fell silent.

The nobles began to discuss and analyze again.

Their positions changed.

Some people still think that Linn is innocent.

Some people have begun to support Duke Fitch.

But more people feel that this matter has something to do with it. They have nothing to do with each other, it doesn't matter who killed the Duke, they just want to leave now.

This banquet has made them feel enough.

Fitch is waiting.

At about the same time, he continued to announce his thoughts:

"All of you here are loyal subjects of my family, and I hope you will continue to be loyal to me.

Soon I will lead an army to conquer Lin En and avenge my father!

At that time, I ask you to fulfill your military obligations as vassals and appear on the battlefield with me!"

I heard that there was going to be a war.

Of the more than 20 nobles present, only two responded.

"The soldiers of House Linton will be by your side!"

"The Alva family will not let you down, Your Majesty the Duke!"

These two families have a deep friendship with the Walter family.

The death of the old Duke made them equally sad and angry.

Naturally, they took the lead in responding.

But other nobles did not want to fight.

Especially they did not want to fight for such a thing.

After all, there was no such thing. Direct evidence can prove that Linn is the murderer.

What's more... this is a waste of money and unprofitable war.

No fool is willing to do this kind of loss-making business.

Feiqi had expected this reaction.

He continued to announce:"Walter never disappoints loyal people. After the traitors are wiped out, the rich land in the Mons area will be awarded to those with outstanding merits.

In addition, I will also pay you a considerable reward from the family treasury!"

Fitch's proposal had a very good effect.

Half of the nobles immediately defected to him.

The remaining few nobles were reluctant because their families were now in the castle.

Only Can be forced to join Feiqi's side.

Feiqi nodded with satisfaction:"Then please invite all the knights to go back to their respective fiefdoms to gather troops.

The journey is difficult and dangerous, so you and your family members can stay in my castle for a while.

I will instruct my servants to take good care of their lives, so you don’t have to worry about that.

After the war is over, I will send reliable subordinates to personally escort them back to your fiefdoms."

Everyone understands that this is taking their family members as hostages.

But no one dares to tell the truth on the spot.

Many people are dissatisfied with this, and they can only say thank you to the Duke for his kindness.

They say it with gritted teeth.

After all, the entire principality is now All the nobles united to deal with two mere earls.

Such a war would have no suspense for everyone.

Almost no one present thought that the winner of this war would belong to Lin En.

Naturally, No one wants to be squeezed out.

Even if they don't use their full strength on the battlefield, they have to stand by the Duke.

However, to everyone's surprise, after the opinions of all the nobles reached a high degree of unity, people actually raised objections..

It’s Ser Mormont.

Even though because of Duke Vincent’s death, Mormont wished he could kill the murderer.

But his reason made him feel that such hasty mobilization of war was unwise.

"Lord Duke."His tone was humble and his attitude was sincere:

"Even if Lynn is the murderer, we should listen to his defense and see what explanation he has for his actions.

If he is indeed guilty, it will not be too late for us to send troops to conquer him.

If Lynn is not the real culprit in killing the Duke, then this war will only make us bleed in vain and will not achieve a just result!"

Fitch finally got the nobles to support him.

Of course he would not let the old knight mess up the matter again.

Fitch burst out laughing:"Sir Mormont, are you kidding? How can any despicable person in this world be willing to admit that he is the murderer?

Linn's escape was enough to prove that this matter was closely related to him. Why bother?

What's more, now you all want to avenge my father immediately, don't you have such a plan?"

His meaning is very simple.

If you don't choose to join the Walter family at this time, you are a traitor and an accomplice of Linn.

It's just that Fitch considered that Mormont has excellent command skills.

He will need to use this next An outstanding general did not speak so absolutely.

Mormont knew this very well.

But he also knew that the nobles in front of him had been blinded by interests. Their greedy desire made them ignore the terribleness of their opponents.

They forgot how Lord Gordon's carelessness caused his army to be wiped out in just one night.

The family also perished.

And these people here today are undoubtedly making the same mistake.

Mormont is better than them. They are all more aware of Linn's ability.

No one can predict the outcome of such a hasty war with such an opponent!

In order to wake up these people,

Mormont did not care about etiquette.

He He almost shouted:"But we are facing a Kasar!

Even before your grandfather was born, the soldiers of this family were already famous! Loyalty and courage are their mottos!

No commander who has ever fought against them will despise such an opponent like you do!

What's more, the Cassar you are facing now is named Linn. (If you want to read cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Are your brains confused by wine these days, or are you blinded by that milky white cock?

Has no one noticed how Lynn has been acting these days? In the arena, even the famous Black Luolan was no match for him.

Haven't you seen the dozens of knights accompanying him? Which of you can have such an elite retinue by your side?

Or have you become deaf in the past few years? No one has ever heard the news from Mons.���

The Cassar family is now more powerful than ever before. Today, Linn only needs to raise his arms and shout to get thousands of soldiers who are willing to die for him!

Are you willing to let your soldiers bleed in vain?"

The whole place calmed down.

The nobles looked surprised.

They were not surprised by this shocking speech. They were surprised by the rudeness of this landless knight.

They were all respectable nobles in the principality.

But he was regarded as a fool by Sir Mormont.

Mormont did not expect that his words had a completely counterproductive effect.

"how? Does Ser Mormont think we are a ragtag bunch?"

"Could it be that all the soldiers from so many of our families couldn't deal with a little Kasar?"

"He is so rude! Get him out!

Even Fitch started to smile and said:"Loyalty and bravery?" That's the best joke I've heard today, Ser Mormont.

If Lyn was loyal, he should not have murdered his lord, my father.

If Lynn was brave, he wouldn't run away, but should stay and prove his innocence!

I see him as neither brave nor loyal.

And you, Ser Mormont. I understand your caution, this is your usual style. But I don't want to hear your opinion on this matter right now.

If you are still loyal to my family, you should plan this war for me. This is what you have to do!

If your fear of Lynn exceeds your loyalty to my father, then please leave. For the sake of your loyalty to the Walter family for many years, I will let you go."

For Mormont, honor is higher than life.

He has not forgotten that he has sworn allegiance to Vincent and to Walter.

So he knows better that he cannot leave now.

Sir Mormont's eyes dimmed:"I'm sorry, Duke Sir, please forgive me."

"I accept your apology."Fitch walked over and patted Mormont on the shoulder.

He pretended to be quite graceful. He felt that he was already a very qualified ruler.

Fitch glanced at the Duke's throne, and he started talking to himself again. Father's soul dialogue:

Look, those nobles who used to be aloof from us are now united by me.

With just a few words, they will fight to the death with Linn for the Walter family!

It's best to let them all die. Are you right? Old man.

Don’t you admit that I am better than you and more suitable for this position? You should have made room long ago!

…………

Three days later.

Linn and his party have entered the Mons area.

They no longer had to worry about being tracked, and their speed slowed down.

It was a rare moment to have a chat, and I finally recounted the whole story.

Obviously, the principality is now divided into two war camps.

Fitch and Lynn.

The Duke and the Rebel.

And on the surface, there is indeed a huge disparity in strength between the two sides.

Linn had only an earl father-in-law as an ally, and in addition he had three baron vassals.

There were more than twenty noble vassals on Fitch's side, far more than Lin En.

Along the way, several knights who followed him were worried about this matter.

"When did the number of troops become a necessary condition for victory in war?"Lynn asked with a smile.

The gap in the number of troops this time seemed much larger than that of Earl Gordon's invasion.

But for Linn, this time he was not as nervous and exciting as last time. After all, when fighting against Gordon in 690, he had almost no available troops except the Vali mercenary group.

But now?

Just these one thousand Guards knights can bring a little shock to the opponent. Got it

"Then we have to make some preparations, gather soldiers, and set up defense lines. Fitch has too many supporters!"Norton said worriedly.

He has experienced many battles, but he has never felt that any of them was as dangerous as this one.

He also believed that Lin En might be able to deal with it.

However, the disparity in strength between the enemy and us was so great that Norton could not help himself. Nervous.

In his opinion, the most important thing now is to concentrate all efforts and prepare defensive measures on the battlefield in advance.

If it can be delayed for a while, the enemy will come from afar, and supplies and morale will be affected.

As long as it can be delayed They blocked the first two attacks.

Then the opponent's number will not be an advantage.

Instead, they can use this to drag them down.

After all, no place in the entire principality has more food storage than the Mons area. More.

They couldn't consume Lin En's.

However, Lin En just said unhurriedly:"I have a different view, father-in-law.

We have worked hard all the way, now please go back to your fief with a few other knights to rest.

By the time all the enemies were assembled and they arrived in the Mons area, it would already be two months later.

We can eat and drink first and wait for them here."

"wait?!"Lewis and Sir Aiden were both dumbfounded.

They didn't expect that Linn would be so nonchalant about this war.

Did he already have some amazing plan?

"Don’t we need to make any preparations at all?"They asked about their doubts.

Lin En smiled and said:"I would like to ask you, assuming we win this war relying on defense, what next?"

"Then what? What then?"Sir Aiden was confused.

Lewis obviously didn't expect that Lynn would ask such a question:

"We don’t even have a clue how to deal with the current problems. Are you already thinking about what will happen after the war is won?

I hope you are really sure, Lord Lynn."

Lynn was a little disappointed.

These people are too short-sighted.

Even if this war is won through defense and attrition, what will happen after that?

He will still be regarded as a traitor and conspirator by the world.

There is no way to continue to expand the results..

In this way, it seems that such a victory does not have much value other than continuing to survive.

Now Lin En is not thinking about winning without a fight at all.

What he is thinking about is how to become the ruler of the principality after winning.

In Linn's opinion, Master Fitch underestimated himself.

He deliberately made such a ridiculous conspiracy, and undoubtedly gave up the title of duke.

Linn pulled the reins:"I can't say that I am completely sure. But there are still 60 to 70 percent.

Everyone, please follow my arrangements and go home and have a good rest.

I will invite you to come to Mons for a gathering in a while, and you will naturally understand by then."
