Chapter 5, Brotherhood Without Banners

"I heard you hit Katrisy?"

Jenny pulled Li Qing to the side, and she asked with some amusement. After Katrishi's nose was broken, the third-rate liar doctor in the fort treated him with pig manure, but he almost was suffocated to death.

"Is the message spreading very quickly?"

Li Qing smiled bitterly. He almost lost the right to inherit because of his impulse.

"Everyone is secretly happy about this."

Jenny smiled, and she looked around and said to Li Qing.

"So it turns out that Kaitrisy is so unpopular."

Li Qing said thoughtfully, but he was a little curious about what kind of person Rudolph was in the eyes of these people? So he asked Jenny.

"I actually came late, but I heard from other cooks that you are a very silent person, and people call you Rudolph the Lonely."

Jenny thought for a while and said to Li Qing.

"The lonely one is that he has no friends!"

Li Qing smiled bitterly. It seemed that Rudolph could not get the love of his father and his mother died. Some kind of mental illness must have appeared in this suppressed fortress.

"How did Lord Earl make the final decision?"

Jenny knew that Rudolph injured the count's favorite young son and would definitely be punished by the count, but Rudolph did not receive any whipping. Could it be that the count did not forget it easily? She was a little curious.

"It should be nothing to ask me to go to the church outside the fort."

Li Qing said to Jenny that it is better to reflect on anything than to be whipped, but Jenny frowned when she heard this.

"Rudolph, listen to me, you'd better find a way not to go to the church outside the fort."

Jenny looked around and found that no one was paying attention. She hurriedly approached Rudolph and whispered.

"Why?"

Li Qing was a little curious about why the church outside the fortress could not be visited, which made him a little puzzled.

"Because, because there are wolves in the night, no one will spend the night in that church."

Jenny hurriedly said to Li Qing.

"Wolf, wolves?"

Only then did Li Qing remember that this was an ancient world, a world where all kinds of animals had not yet become extinct, and the wolves in Europe were always very fierce, which once brought a lot of danger to the Europeans at that time.

"Yes, I don't understand why Lord Earl wants you to reflect on it, but if you want to go, remember to bring torches and weapons."

Jenny reminded Li Qing, and at this time she looked up at the third floor window of the main tower. Mrs. Agnes was looking at them with a gloomy face. Jenny hurriedly lowered her head and left quickly, leaving only Li Qing with a confused look on her face.

"It's too dangerous, you shouldn't get the attention of that old witch."

As Jenny quickly walked to the corner of the fortress, the man in a gray hood leaned against the wall and said to her.

"I know, but I don't want to see Rudolph who saved me be framed."

Jenny said to the man wearing a gray hood.

"We shouldn't take risks for a nobleman, who knows if he beats Kaitrisy because he is greedy for your appearance."

The man in the gray hood shook his head and said.

"Rudolph is different from other nobles."

Jenny defended.

"What's the difference? Aristocrats are all greedy pigs. They have to squeeze out the little value left by us to be willing to."

The man in the gray hood said with anger at Jenny.

"Most nobles are like this, but wouldn't God create some good people?"

Jenny said a little dissatisfied.

"Don't forget your mission. If you forget the mission, my father will be unhappy. I'm leaving here. Be careful, sister."

The man in the gray hood warned Jenny.

"Are you going to take action recently?"

Jenny hurriedly grabbed his brother's arm and asked to him.

"Yes, but it's not your business. You just need to tell us the movements of the Counts in the fort."

The man in the gray hood shook Jenny's hand away and reminded her before leaving.

In fact, what Jenny had not told Li Qing was another group of people who were more dangerous than the wolves. Schwartz County has not been safe recently. When the old earl was old, Mrs. Agnes and her greedy son controlled the government affairs of the entire county. The unforgettable taxes had already made the people miserable, and an uprising broke out.

They wore a flag made of animal skins, without any pattern markings to distinguish the heraldic flag patterns of the nobles. This group of insurrections, mainly fugitive slaves, landless peasants and bankrupt small handicraftsmen, claimed to be the Flagless Brotherhood, and carried out destruction and attacks in places beyond the control of the Earl Schwartz Fortress.

"Brothers Without Flags, ha, a bunch of hooligan villains, I should replace the sheriff, this idiot."

As night fell, the old count wore a funny long soft hat, dragged the thin linen pajamas at his feet, and sat on the edge of the bed with bare legs. He cursed angrily, but saliva flowed out from the gaps of his missing teeth and dripped on his chest. He sat in front of the dressing table and frowned in disgust at Mrs. Agnes, who was facing the bronze mirror, but she would not show it yet.

"Dear Earl, these robbers attacked the road and snatched the supplies transported by many villages and towns, and they killed the tax collector and robbed the taxes that belonged to you."

Mrs. Agnes stood up, and she walked to the old Count, picked up the thick linen handkerchief and wiped the earl's mouth, and said to him.

"It's so damn. If I catch them, I must hang them alive, with the bodies hanging on the top of my fortress wall, and let the crows peck at them, so that everyone can see what will happen to resist the Habsburg family."

The old count stared at the turbid eyes and said angrily at the head of the bed.

"Yes, my dear, but I heard from the sheriff that these rogues have gathered into an army, and their power is getting stronger and stronger."

Mrs. Agnes said to Earl Schwartz.

"What, army?"

Earl Schwartz looked at his wife in surprise. Why had he never heard of such a thing?

"So we should send troops to suppress these rogues before they become climate."

Mrs. Agnes continued.

"Ah, of course, but who will lead the army? Am I too old, riding on horseback will kill me. Could it be Katrisi? But Katrisi is too young for him to lead the army."

Although the old count was confused about many things, he had been in charge of military affairs for many years and immediately started to think about it.

"Of course, Katrisi can do it. He can definitely defeat those rogues. You should give your son a chance to make achievements."

Agnes said to the old earl.

"You ask me to think about it again, think about it again."
