Section 106, in crisis
Looking at the knight who was carried down on a stretcher, the face of the Lion Henry showed an angry expression, but he was helpless. This was already the best knight in his hands. Frederick was a king with a irritable personality but indulging in pleasure. He did not hide his excitement for his victory.
"Congratulations to you, the best warrior in the whole kingdom." Frederick ordered the court servants to bring a glass of wine to his knights, congratulating him on his victory.
"I will hand over the money to your chief financial officer." Lion Henry sat back in his position with a pale face. He was in a very unhappy mood, but he had no choice but to do anything. Force is everything.
"Hahaha, my respectable duke, if you have a good warrior, you can still continue to fight." Frederick was in a good mood. He sat next to Henry the lion and patted his shoulder.
"No, if you send a cavalry to fight again, it will be unfair to your people." Lion Henry said to Frederick.
"Don't worry, Baron Weaverde is not that fragile. He can continue to play ten games." Frederick said proudly, and he was very upset in the eyes of the Lion Henry, and he suddenly slapped the seat and stood up.
"Then, Your Majesty, I am willing to come out in person to compete with Baron Weaverde." The Lion Henryon said to Frederick, which surprised Frederick a lot.
"Dear Duke, your identity is too noble. You should enjoy the fun of watching in the stands. There is no need to end up in person. Let me go on your behalf!" At this time, a voice came from the bottom of the stands. The Lion Henry and Frederick looked over at the same time, and saw a mysterious knight wearing a full cover helmet, chain mail, and leather gloves.
"Sir Legras?" Lion Henry was a little surprised. He didn't expect Legras to fight for him.
"Why haven't I seen this sir? Your family's emblem is also very strange." Frederick looked at Legras in front of him. He knew almost every famous family's emblem, but he had never seen Legras, so he asked curiously.
"I am the new knight who joins the Duke, a nameless person." Legras said to Frederick.
"Why not take off your helmet?" Frederick narrowed his eyes and said to Legras, feeling a little uncomfortable. Any knight who saw him should take off his helmet to show respect for the king, otherwise it would be an irrespectful act.
"Sir Legras is a swearing knight. He vowed not to take off his helmet in public before he confessed his sins before he saw the true cross." Suddenly, the lion Henry explained to Frederick, which surprised Frederick, but some knights did swear to make strange moves out of faith, and people generally appreciated this pious behavior.
Sir Legras walked towards the competition field. Frederick's Knight looked at the new opponent. He was not careless because of the continuous victory. He held the heavy sword in his hand tightly and lifted the pointed shield. Sir Legras did not choose the shield. He just took the heavy sword and strode towards Baron Weaverde.
"Ao~~." Baron Weaverde saw the approaching Legras from the peephole of his helmet. He blocked his shield and rushed towards Sir Legras like a rhino.
Rudolph rode on his horse, and he looked at the wastelands and scattered villages of his territory. As the actual ruler of Schwarz County, Rudolph led Rodney and several cavalry to patrol his territory, which could calm the people in the territory and understand the actual situation of the territory.
"My Lord Regent, because of the rebellion of the Brotherhood without Flags, many villages in the entire territory were destroyed to varying degrees. Some farmers were bewitched and joined the rebellion. The manpower of each village was insufficient." Baron Hedwig accompanied Rudolph to patrol the territory, and he said on his horse and behind Rudolph.
"What's the situation for the nobles?" Rudolph thought for a while and said to Baron Hedwig.
"Most of the nobles are very calm. Regent's bounty and fiefs made them praise you, but~~~." Baron Hedwig said to Rudolph truthfully, but at the end he was a little hesitant.
"What's wrong?" Rudolph looked at the scenery in front of him, and was actually quite proud. Schwarz County is located on the north side of the Alps. The climate is humid and warm. After a long journey, the cold air in the north has slowed down under the mountains. If used, the fertile land here can be turned into fertile fields and manors.
"Regent, I can only say the following words at this time. I will never admit it after leaving here." Baron Hedwig was very grateful to Rudolph. It was because of Rudolph that he had a large fiefdom, and from a ruined noble with only one baron, his family became one of the prominent families of Schwartz County.
"Say." Rudolph glanced at Baron Hedwig, who knew exactly what the baron was thinking.
"Although the nobles will be moved by your temporary reward, the nobles' desire for land and wealth is like a bottomless pit. The land of Schwarz County has no extra land to be enfeoffed except for the Count's direct territory. The nobles may not continue to support you at that time." Baron Hedwig said to Rudolph.
"You mean, the loyalty of the nobles is not with me?" Rudolph frowned. He was actually worried about this. A local noble is not scary, but the local nobles in Schwartz County have been uniting in groups for warmth since ancient times, especially after being inexplicably conquered by the Habsburg family from Bern, they often united in private to oppose the Habsburg family.
Although Count Schwartz gradually divided through marriage and other means, no one could guarantee that they would be in power without Count Schwartz's inability to take charge, Rudolph, as a shallow ruler and without powerful relatives as foreign aid, the local nobles would inevitably expel the Habsburg family and complete their plans to become independent.
"Regent, although my family also belongs to Schwartz's local nobles, your friendship with me forced me to say this. If others know about it, I am afraid my family will become public enemy." Baron Hedwig said with a wry smile. Nobles do not refer to individuals or a family, but to the entire class. If the local nobles in Schwartz County knew that Baron Hedwig had betrayed them, I am afraid that the entire family of Baron Hedwig's family would be excluded or even chased.
