It is precisely because the brave Aji is a tough opponent with ridiculously good luck that De Lassel tried every possible way to understand this person from all aspects, which led to his current inference.
So, he came up with a plan: "How about this, brave Aji, I won't make it difficult for you, 500 is 500! But I have one condition, you have to say a word of begging for mercy, then I will let him go, how about it?"
"What do you want me to say to beg for mercy?"
"Well, just say it, the great De La Serre, please ask you and your mother's brothers and friends to forgive me, Aji, and my men! After all, my troops were trained by my mother and my friends, and it was very hard for them to come here."
The brave Aji on the wall felt a little strange when he heard this request, but it didn't seem to be very insulting...
He changed his mind and decided, well, just think of it as saving his nephew. He had already lost face by not saying anything when he was scolded just now, so what if he lost a little more now
In fact, he was not afraid of fighting with De Lassel, but the supplies in his own castle were also very empty.
After the previous two battles, the castle's stock of javelins and throwing axes was almost gone, making it difficult to defend against a third wave of siege.
So he could only swallow his anger until now, and he has been waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the Nord Kingdom.
"Well... Great De La Serre, please, you and your brothers and friends, forgive me, Aji, and my men! Are you satisfied now?"
After saying this, he threw a bag of 500 dinars of gold coins off the city wall in the direction of De Lassel.
"Satisfied, Captain Bo, take the money and let him go."
"Yes, my master." So the jailer Bolcha trotted over, picked up the purse, threw the guard toward the city gate, and left.
After the brave Aji sent his men to bring his nephew back to the castle safely, he was furious and shouted, "De Lacel, you wait for me..."
But at this moment, the brave Aji had returned to the hall of his castle, and De Lassel did not hear the shout.
And De La Serre wanted to use that plea to make the other party say "fuck you" in disguise. Seeing that the mission was accomplished, he immediately turned around and went back to the camp.
Said to Count Harlan: "Attack the city!"
"What? Attack the city directly?"
"That's right."
"You are kidding me, De La Serre! You, you! You are so unreasonable!" Count Harlan was so angry that his hair stood on end and his beard stood up. He didn't take his previous defeat seriously at all.
De La Serre started to brag at this time: "Don't worry, if you trust me once, a full-scale charge to attack the city will definitely be unstoppable."
"No, how can you ask me to believe you? Absolutely not. I won't agree."
"Just charge straight ahead. If the siege fails, I will hand over Uxhall and its three subordinate villages to you, and my Wolf King's sword will also belong to you."
"You...are you serious? Even though we are brothers, you have to keep your word, De La Ser!"
It is now known to the whole world that Uxhall and its three subordinate villages are a fertile place. The vineyards and the luxurious Yanluo Casino alone make everyone salivate.
"I'll never regret my words even if I die. But Brother Harun, I've solved a big problem for you and helped you win a victory. It's unreasonable for you not to be nice to me, right?"
Hearing this, Count Harlan even wanted to sneer a little, but he held back and replied:
"Drasel, I haven't won yet, so why are you so confident? Aren't you really afraid of getting slapped in the face in a while? So tell me, what benefit do you want?"
"Your two siege engines, catapults, look very sophisticated... Unfortunately, I am a poor little lord, De Lacel, I don't have them yet."
System prompt: Good guy, it turns out you were coveting someone else’s catapult, you are so bad, I like it so much!
For Count Haren, his fiefdom, Harenburg, was very close to the center of the Kingdom of Swadia, so it was convenient for him to purchase siege equipment such as catapults.
However, the price of two siege engines, catapults, is not cheap, nearly 10,000 dinars. This is a big bet!
But Count Haren could not bear the temptation of Uxhall and its three subordinate villages, several vineyards and a luxurious Yanluo Casino. He estimated that the income was at least 15,000 a week!
After thinking it over, Earl Harlan made up his mind: Damn! Bet!
Even if we lose the battle, there are only 14 brothers in total, they are not worth much money. So what if we lose face? We can then take over Uxhall and its three subordinate villages. This is a huge and fertile land!
What's more, the Sword of the Wolf King is a divine weapon of the time. Count Harun has seen De Lassel defeat his opponents with it several times.
The huge temptation has made him lose his former honesty and clarity, and he also believes that the current De Lassel is just being mysterious. How can he win by attacking the city now
"No problem, but De Lassel, I want you to write a guarantee or a promise!"
De La Serre waved his hand and showed an extremely confident smile. He was more confident than ever before and his face showed it all. He said:
"That's too much trouble. I will give you the Wolf King's Sword and the King's appointment letter of Uxhall and its three subordinate villages right now! Take these with you to fight. If you win, return them to me. If you lose, just take them away!"
After saying this, he immediately took off these things from his body and handed them all to Count Harun.
"Good boy, De La Serre, are you really not afraid that I will lose on purpose?"
"I'm just afraid that you want to lose but can't."
"Hahaha, great! I'll lead the team to charge right now!"
So, Count Harlan immediately led the remaining 14 soldiers and rushed towards Fort Gilly without hesitation.
This wave of operations made Safiya beside him very worried. She hurriedly shouted:
"Baron, why are you so impulsive that you want to risk your entire life and property?"
"My lovely Princess Safiya, my life and property depend on you. Where did it go?"
System prompt: Your friendship with Safiya +2, current friendship is 52.
Safiya's fair face flushed slightly, and she replied shyly: "You... Oh, now is not the time to joke~ You... What if he really loses..."
"How bold a man is, how productive the land will be. I believe in the information provided by Arthur, and I also believe in my own destiny and judgment. If I really lose the bet, as long as you and Ryan are by my side, I can win everything back."
