In the early morning, the dawn sunshine fell on the earth and turned into strands of golden thread.
In the castle of the Shawshank family, the atmosphere was not filled with much joy and joy of victory in the battle.
Because just last night, when they defeated the Frey family's army, Baron Shawshank, the lord of the knights and the owner of this land, died of his injuries, leaving a huge mess.
Sir Frey didn't have to worry anymore. The other party had died in the explosion as early as last night when the door was sealed.
On the other hand, Bishop Daniel, because of his extraordinary strength, was spared a small life and became a prisoner.
At this time, he and some other valuable prisoners were tied up and sealed in a dungeon, waiting for trial.
In the Baron's living room, the Baroness's eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried more than once.
"Since the Baron is dead, Teemo should inherit his title and become the new Baron of Shawshank!"
Fang Yuan, Gray, and several other prominent figures in the castle gathered together. After a short discussion, they immediately decided to respect Timo as their new lord, and Xiang changed into new clothes, looking cautious and sad. The baron salutes.
Of course, since the Baron is still young and cannot handle many affairs yet, it is only natural that the Baroness should take care of it.
"Ahem... everyone!"
After discussing this series of things, Knight Gray received the look from his mistress and coughed: "There is another issue, which is the engagement between Sir Rune and Tanya. The Baron had always intended to promote it during his lifetime. We can't do it at this time. His soul in the underworld will not be able to rest in peace after his death..."
"Sir Rune, what do you think?"
The former baroness looked at Fang Yuan.
"Since you even brought out the baron's soul to speak out, what else can I say to refute?"
Fang Yuan secretly rolled his eyes and showed hesitation on his face: "Of course I don't have any problem, it's just that the Baron just passed away..."
"It doesn't matter. You can skip the wedding for the time being and just make an engagement first!" A scholar-looking person next to him said immediately.
"Okay, let's do it! Maester Luwin, prepare another donation procedure!"
The Baroness wiped her red eyes: "The Baron is going to give Storm Hills as a dowry to Sir Rune!"
"Storm Hills?"
Fang Yuan was shocked.
It was just a small hill that bordered his territory, so it wasn't a big deal.
But the key point is that after adding this piece, his territory is completely connected with the thousand-acre enclave where Whistling Manor is located, forming a new fiefdom of almost two knights with Storm Hills as the center!
In this way, he instantly surpassed many knights and became the most powerful faction under the new baron.
"This is both drawing together and dividing!"
Fang Yuan looked around. Although many people's eyes were smiling, their meanings were somewhat intriguing.
This was after he led the soldiers and won the great victory last night!
If you accept these fiefdoms without establishing any meritorious deeds, you will probably become the target of public criticism immediately, right
Fang Yuan sneered in his heart, feeling that the soft knife culture among the nobles was indeed killing people without blood.
"However, there is no reason not to eat the meat that is brought to your mouth?"
He smiled: "Since it is the Baron's kindness, I would like to thank him on Tanya's behalf!"
Gray looked at this scene and couldn't help but lower his head.
If the Baron could survive until today, seeing Luen's brilliant victory last night, he would definitely change his previous approach.
Unfortunately, by this time, it was too late.
"However, it is just an extra piece of knight territory, making Lu En the first knight under the baron... After all, he is a newly promoted noble. If he wants to consolidate the territory and increase his strength, it will not take a year or two..."
Thinking this, Gray suddenly felt much calmer.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that there was a kind of person in this world who did things completely beyond other people's expectations.
"Okay, the last thing is the prisoner issue this time!"
Fang Yuan raised this difficult problem and immediately fell silent, as if waiting for other people's opinions.
At this time, ordinary soldiers who were defeated in battle would either wait for their lord or family to pay for redemption, or be demoted as a slave. There was already a set of rules.
But what Fang Yuan was talking about was not those ordinary soldiers, but Bishop Daniel and some liaisons from other churches.
Without their help, Sir Frey would never have had the strength to challenge the Baron, or even lay siege to the Baron's castle.
However, no one here except Fang Yuan has the courage to really shout and kill - after all, they are members of the church, and even if they interfere in the secular world, they cannot judge at will!
So, everyone lowered their heads, looking like they were thinking.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but smile: "Since you all have no idea, how about I tell you how to deal with it? Just use them as gifts and present them to the Grand Duke!"
Although these prisoners are a bit hot for a baron, they are not necessarily for the Grand Duke.
It may even be used as some bargaining chips. Although it may not be very important, it is better than nothing.
"That's a good idea!"
The Baroness's eyes lit up, and when she saw the others nodding, she immediately said: "Just do it!"
When Fang Yuan saw this, he immediately laughed secretly in his heart.
These nobles are afraid of the pressure from the Church and the Kingdom of Nott, but do not want to lose their autonomy. They have always been like ostriches.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that the Nott Kingdom might never have the chance to invade the Principality of Stan.
Because this world is about to undergo drastic changes!
…
Daqian world, in the cave sky.
Storms swept across, heavy rain poured down, and the ocean, which was originally as quiet as a virgin, instantly turned into a roaring beast under the influence of the strong wind, setting off turbulent waves.
In such a terrifying environment, a three-masted sailboat stubbornly held on and did not sink.
Wow!
A wave hit, and a huge amount of seawater surged onto the deck, carrying away a large amount of supplies and sailors.
The ship's mast was cut off early, and it could only drift with the waves in the storm.
"Left full rudder!"
In the cockpit, Ge Fei was wearing a gray shirt, exposing his broad chest and familiar abdominal muscles. At this time, he was roaring hysterically: "Idiots, if you don't want to die, quickly find a rope to tie yourself to the ship." Tied up!"
Due to the increase in fighting spirit, his figure is as stable as a mountain at this time, and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle: "Ocean, you can't stop me, I will definitely find the legendary Treasure Island!"
…
One night passed, the sky was clear, and white seagulls were chirping in the sun.
The sea returned to calm, as if everything that happened last night was just a nightmare.
Ge Fei put down the steering wheel, returned to the captain's cabin, and began to write a certain letter: "Dear Majesty Wellington: I'm sorry that due to a sudden storm, my ship cannot complete the ocean voyage on time, but please believe that I I am becoming more and more sure of my inference that our continent is not alone. There must be its brothers and sisters in this world... "
"... Thank you again for your funding, which makes it possible for me to sail across the ocean, and I will dedicate all the charts and routes to His Majesty as agreed... Yesterday, we encountered a huge storm, which made our The course has deflected, and we don’t know how far we are from the original target. May the God of Creation bless us... "
…
"Captain, you'd better come out and take a look!"
While Ge Fei was writing, there was the sound of rapid footsteps, and his first mate slapped the door: "Ahead... the port has been discovered!"
"Huh? Port, this doesn't seem to be our supply island? Did a storm last night blow us back to our hometown? Thank you Father God!"
Ge Fei made a praying gesture.
"No! That's not our city!"
The first mate's expression was filled with fear: "It's a whole new world!"
"new world?!"
Ge Fei was startled and came to the observation deck, holding up a monocular telescope.
In his sight, a continent suddenly appeared in front of him, and a huge port stood quietly.
Above, a large number of ships were moored, and their shapes were completely different from the ships of the Avalon Empire.
"Such a big port, it can definitely be ranked among the top five in the country, right? And...it seems that there are also humans on the opposite side..."
Ge Fei murmured, and suddenly he smiled: "Everyone, we will all be recorded in history because of the great geographical discovery. Of course, to put it more informally... we are going to get rich!"
"Ouch!"
The sailors cheered.
In this era, sailors who can risk their lives to fight are generally penniless paupers or even exiles from various places. The only motivation for them is gold and silver wealth!
At this moment, I saw hope, and I couldn't hold it back any longer.
"I don't know how big this land is. Can the empire send troops to conquer it... Or is it just a business object?"
Just as Ge Fei was thinking, their ship was obviously spotted in the port.
After a commotion, several giant ships sailed out, surrounded by many small boats, surrounding his ship.
Ge Fei keenly noticed that the flag held by the other party was a black mountain peak, and he didn't know what it meant.
At this time, on the opposite deck, a warrior wearing armor appeared and loudly spoke an incomprehensible foreign language.
If you were an ordinary Shanguo person here, you would immediately know that this is their patrol captain, issuing a final warning to the invaders: "You have entered the Shanguo border. Put down your weapons immediately and accept inspection, otherwise there will be no consequences." Unpredictable!!!”
…
Fang Yuan didn't want to get involved in conflicts between mortals.
However, at the moment when the civilizations of the Light and Dark Continent and the Five Elements Continent met, a mighty force was suddenly generated and turned into a holy light, driving the entire cave sky to rise.
"Dongtian, promoted!"
His true spirit, which returned in an instant, let out a wave of surprise: "If this continues, the future will turn into a world, which is no longer a dream!"
