Shortly after Fang Yuan and his party entered the castle, the Frey family's army suddenly appeared and surrounded the entire castle.
"Now... the wolf is really coming!"
Fang Yuan stood on the wall and looked at the army in the distance.
Under the green military flag, Sir Frey's army suddenly exceeded a thousand men, and even carried a large number of farmers with pitchforks to guard all the main roads up the mountain.
"Is this... preparing to drive out the people and attack the city with ants?"
When Fang Yuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Sir Frey's move was indeed quite ruthless, because the men he used were all strong men captured from the direct jurisdiction of the baron!
At this time, the hundreds of troops in the castle who had just lost a battle and had low morale could not be consumed for long.
Even if either party dies, it doesn't matter to Sir Frey.
"A baron's castle was under siege, but the nearby nobles did not respond. It seems that the baron has the right, Frey has the strength, and the other lords have all chosen to sit back and watch?"
This is indeed not good news for the Baron, because it means that no reinforcements will arrive.
"It seems... the office is also a broken ship. Grand Duke Stan is almost in a state of distress, right?"
Fang Yuan sneered silently in his heart.
At this time, a cavalryman rushed out from Frey's army camp, came to the castle, and shouted loudly:
"Sir Frey is a kind man. As long as Baron Shawshank admits his mistake and signs a letter of repentance, he will promise not to pursue it further!"
"Otherwise, we will destroy this castle! What will happen then is something that no one wants to see!"
"Even if the Baron is determined to resist, if other soldiers and knights choose to surrender, Sir Frey will never pursue them, and will guarantee your wealth, fiefs and other rights!"
…
"Hmph, protect our fiefdom and wealth!"
Knight Gray came to the side without knowing when, with an ugly expression on his face: "Who does he think he is? Lord Baron? He's just a mere knight like us, and he dares to do this..."
"In fact, Knight Frey's strength is already at the level of a baron... If the Crown Prince relents this time, perhaps the canonization order will be issued soon!"
Fang Yuan shrugged: "The winner dominates everything, it's that simple!"
"Sir Rune... shouldn't you..."
Gray's eyes instantly became cold and wary.
"Of course... As a noble knight, it is a shame to accept forgiveness from another knight! So I will fight with him to the end!"
Fang Yuan made an impassioned speech.
In fact, he was just following the rules of the nobles' game.
The ruling forces in this world are still the nobles and priests.
Among the nobility, if you want not to be regarded as a nouveau riche, you must pay attention to your heritage and connotation!
So what if people like Frey are stronger, no matter how powerful they are? Haven't they been met with unanimous contempt and cold treatment
Even if he can win this time and even be canonized as a baron, I am afraid that he will still be overtly or covertly resisted by the aristocratic circle in the future. Unless this is broken, it cannot be changed.
Because in the eyes of all nobles, he is "that guy who breaks the rules"!
On the contrary, Baron Shawshank is an orthodox man with a inherited pedigree and a long history.
Sometimes, righteousness is not worth a penny, but sometimes it is as heavy as Mount Tai!
"Even...even if the Nott Kingdom can win, I'm afraid it won't treat such a guy too much... Just like in ancient times, guys who turned their backs on their master often didn't end well. Instead, they were loyal ministers, even loyal ministers of the enemy. You will also be praised and honored. In the final analysis, it is to establish values!"
In Monger's world, aristocratic values are prevalent.
Frey, who is like a nouveau riche, will find it difficult to truly squeeze into this circle within a few generations!
Therefore, Fang Yuan would not choose the other party at all.
Although, if it weren't for the legitimate inheritance, his means of starting a business might be similar to that of the other party!
"Run Knight..."
Gray was deeply moved.
Even he, who is also a subordinate of the Baron, was shaken for a moment just now. At this time, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his selfish thoughts.
"Actually... I think we can still surrender!"
Fang Yuan suddenly blinked his eyes.
"You mean... fake surrender?!"
Gray's expression changed: "Do you still want to continue the war?"
"Of course, how can you become a loser for no reason? There are still two hundred soldiers in this castle, plus your and my retinue, and all the servants, it is enough to fight!"
Fang Yuanyi clenched his fist: "If you want to turn defeat into victory, this is your last chance!"
"This... I need to inform the Baron!"
Knight Gray felt a little moved, but then he continued to speak in a deep voice.
"Of course... such a big thing must be decided by the Baron!"
In fact, Fang Yuan was already 80% sure about the Baron's choice, and the other party would agree with his proposition.
Because at this time, the Baron has nothing to lose.
…
At night, the moonlight shines, calm as water.
Sir Frey led a group of elite cavalry and warriors and approached the castle in the dark.
"What do you think is the possibility of this?"
He held a letter in his hand, with a hesitant expression on his face.
"According to common sense, the conditions you gave Sir are tolerant enough. Even if the knight is tempted, it is not impossible!"
Beside Sir Frey, Bishop Daniel spoke slowly.
Although the vassals and vassals of this era also have the relationship of monarch and minister, it is definitely not as absolute and close as the Eastern Dynasty in Fang Yuan's previous life. Instead, they include mutual rights and obligations.
There will never be any situation where the king wants his minister to die but the minister has to die.
It is more common for the lord's orders to be ridiculous and for the vassals to refuse to obey. The two sides mobilize their armies to fight.
Even losers will not be deprived of everything, but will retain the last hope of a comeback. This is the kindness of the nobles and the rules of the game in their circle - of course, only for the nobles.
At this point, the situation is at the end of the rope, and it seems reasonable for a knight to betray Baron Shawshank.
"I think so too!"
Knight Frey felt a little hot inside, as if he had already seen the moment when he occupied the baron's castle.
The night was dark, and even if the castle was lit with torches, it could not dispel the heavy sleepiness.
In the silence, Frey waved his hand, and a thief came forward, imitating the sound of a mouse, and barked three times regularly, which was the agreed code.
Bang!
Not long after, there seemed to be a slight commotion on the city wall, and soon, the castle door slowly opened.
"Bishop... do you think?"
Looking at the black hole-like entrance of the castle, Sir Frey hesitated again and looked at Daniel for help: "Great God of Death, can you give me guidance?"
"Sir Frey, we are God's servants and we can only obey God's will. God is so high above us, why would he pay attention to such a trivial matter?"
Bishop Daniel immediately scolded him with displeasure.
If Hess comes, even if it is just a ray of will, the enemies in the castle will naturally be able to hide whatever tricks they are playing.
However, priests and priests are only servants of gods. How can they ask gods to do things for them in turn? If it were the Son of God or the Pope, there might still be some hope, but he would be just dreaming.
However, as a supporter of the Death Church, Sir Frey must still meet some of his requirements.
Therefore, Daniel closed his eyes and had feedback instantly:
"I feel the breath of death! In the castle, someone should have returned to my Lord at this time!"
"So, the Fire Queen is real?!"
Frey's eyes widened and he no longer hesitated: "Come in!"
Swish!
A large number of soldiers filed in with excitement and desire for wealth, or the purest desire for destruction, maintaining amazing discipline.
Soon, a safety signal came from the city.
Seeing this scene, Frey chuckled, also rode his horse, and rushed into the castle.
However, what he didn't know was that just after he rushed into the castle gate, Fang Yuan, who was observing secretly, immediately ordered: "The action begins!"
Boom!
A violent explosion emerged, and a large ball of fire filled the castle gate. The surrounding warriors were immediately torn to pieces by the storm, or were simply blown away and passed out in mid-air.
"This is... a trap!"
A layer of magical light appeared on Bishop Daniel's body, protecting him from harm, but he saw dully that the original city gate had been completely buried by rubble, turning into a chasm that isolated the inside and outside!
"kill!"
"Kill all the intruders!"
Waves of shouts emerged from all directions.
At this time, Frey's side no longer had the numerical advantage, and fell into a carefully laid trap. Many people were immediately killed by a burst of arrows, and the team completely fell apart.
"Natural disaster halo, turn on!"
Two haloes appeared on Fang Yuan's body, staggering and releasing light that enveloped the battlefield.
The advancement of the natural disaster knight originally requires undead and resentment, coupled with the talent of the dream master, it is naturally a piece of cake to create an illusion and hide it from a small priest.
"Scavenger Knight!"
Bishop Daniel looked at the invincible Fang Yuan who rushed into the crowd, but his expression was very strange: "Lu En, we meet again... At this time, you really gave me a big surprise!"
…
While the sky was boiling outside, deep in the castle, inside the baron's bedroom.
The sound of crying came, and the Baroness, Timo, and Tanya were all there, looking at the Baron on the hospital bed.
At this time, he had reached the end of his life.
"Dear... listen, the plan was successful!"
The Baroness looked at Baron Shawshank, and when she saw that he kept his eyes wide open, paying attention to what was going on around him, she couldn't help but step forward and speak softly.
"very good… "
Baron Shawshank pointed at Teemo with difficulty: "Everything that follows will be left to you, and Tanya, you have to help your brother..."
After saying the will, he looked at the direction where the noise came from, his face full of regret and unwillingness, but in the end he couldn't say anything, and his arms fell softly on the bed...
