One hundred and one ransom
The proud Duke of Bohemia could not swallow the bitter fruit of failure anyway. He wanted to completely destroy this army that dared to offend him, so that the Masons knew the fate of the tiger beard. Although the attack on Count Lauziz's castle caused a lot of losses to his army, he also obtained a lot of supplies. At the same time, more than 100 surrendered troops of Count Lauziz, who were accepted by the three wild boar brothers. With these additions, the Duke of Bohemia had enough confidence to seek justice for his father-in-law, Earl Zheroymo.
"What is this?" When Arod looked at the movements of the new Bohemia Duke brought to him by Julian's death. The interval between this kind of intelligence has become longer and longer. This cannot be blamed for Julian. Although ordinary people cannot recognize this method of using birds to transmit intelligence, if birds often fly out in Bohemia camps, it is inevitable that the Bohemia will not be discovered by the Bohemia. Julian would wait for a night owl to secretly release a night owl at night. Most of the time, these night owls were regarded as rare toys and placed together with some livestock.
"The latest trends of the Bohemia, which Bohemia Duke has been furious and mobilized all its troops to fight us." Arod wrote the letter translated in his password book to Baron Wendell. The Duke of Bohemia was trying to kill a warning to a hundred people and destroy the other nobles of the Principal of Mason to resist.
"I thought he would be afraid that his father-in-law would be caught by us, so he would ask for a peace talk first." Baron Wendell said with a shrugging.
"Father-in-law?" Aruod asked in surprise.
"Yes, the Count Zeroimo who was caught is the father-in-law of the Duke of Bohemia."
"Is that right? But my father-in-law should be killed just like my mother-in-law. No wonder the Duke of Bohemia doesn't care at all, ha." Aruod laughed and remembered the jokes from later generations. The losers who couldn't afford to get married were probably wanted to do this in their hearts.
Arod and Baron Wendell walked to the tent that imprisoned Earl Zoroimo. At the entrance of the tent, two German knights were guarding. As the highest level of Bohemia captured, Earoimo enjoyed the treatment of the highest level of prisoners of war. In the individual tent, except for the disarming of Earoimo's personal armor and weapons, the other items had basically not been moved.
"The Lord Prime Minister of the Principal of Mason and Baron Wendell, the owner of the Fort Leda, are here to see you." A Germanic knight unveiled the curtain of the tent and said to the Earl Zerouimo who was lying on the blanket on the ground, and the Earl Zerouimo quickly sat up from the carpet.
"Earl Zeruoyimo, are you still used to it here?" Aruod bent down and walked into the tent. He looked at the count who had been stripped of armor and exposed the lining. He looked at the age of forty, but his face was majestic and neither humble nor arrogant, but his right eye was blue. It was said that it was caused by the captain of the first company hitting the eye with a flagpole.
"Dear Lord Gong Xiang, forgive me for being unable to get up because of the pain." Earl Zheruo said weakly, but the injuries on his body were not serious. It was just a few flesh injuries when he fell down from his horse. But he knew very well that the Germans imprisoned him alone, must be because they were afraid of the Duke of Bohemia's army and wanted to use himself as a bargaining chip.
"Then you have a rest, but I need you to find someone you trust to bring a message to the Duke of Bohemia." Arod's mouth moved, his eyes filled with smiles, and he was not angry at the disrespect of Earl Zerorimo.
"With the message?" Earl Zerorimo raised his head and looked at the young and indifferent Gong Xiang. When he first saw that the one who defeated him was such a young noble, he couldn't believe his eyes. He would rather believe that Baron Wendell, beside Arod, was the real commander of this strange army, but the subsequent facts completely shattered his fantasy.
"Yes, don't you want to know what the amount of ransom you are worth?" Arod and Baron Wendell looked at each other and said to Earl Zeroimo.
"Rank?" Earl Zheruoymo looked at Arud in confusion. Could it be that these Germans treated him well because of the ransom? Did he expect that the Germans would make peace with the duke as bargaining chips?
"Yes. As a captive noble, isn't it normal to pay the ransom for redemption? I plan to ask the Duke of Bohemia for ten thousand silvers." Arod stretched out a finger and said to Earl Zeroimo.
"What? Ten thousand silver stakes, and a king is not worth the price." Earl Zheruoyimo's eyes widened, his mouth widened, and his saliva splashed on his chin and his beard was unconscious.
"Yes, the Bohemians must leave all the spoils and withdraw from the territory of Duke Mason's vassals. When passing through every farmhouse, they must dismount and apologize to the people you exploited inside." Arod put away his smile and said to Earl Zeroimo with a serious expression.
"This is impossible. Even if I am the Duke's father-in-law, he can't agree." At this time, Earl Zheruoyimo understood that the other party had not released his sincerity at all. If the money was okay, at most he could give up his spoils and then make up money from his fiefdom. However, apologizing to the peasants was simply related to the dignity of the duke. These damn Germans were trying to anger the Duke of Bohemia.
However, Count Zeruoyimo appointed a captured guard knight and asked him to ride his horse to the captured castle of Count Lauziz, and told the Duke of Bohemia about the Germanic conditions. After all, it was his life, and even a slight hope was Count Zeruoyimo who was unwilling to give up.
"It's time for us to transfer our positions." When the guards left the camp hill and headed to the castle where Count Lauziz was captured, Arod ordered his army that the entire German mercenary group moved. They packed up their luggage, threw away the spoils of armor and weapons that could not be used, and walked towards a valley that had been reconnaissance long ago. Arod decided to make up for the gap in numbers with the right time and place.
"This idiot is so embarrassing." When he heard the news that the Germans were asking for ransom by the guard knight, the Duke of Bohemia was furious. He broke several precious ceramic items in a row and almost killed a slave with a whip to humiliate him. This was the naked humiliation of "chiluo". The Duke of Bohemia had never encountered such a humiliation since he grew up.
