Chapter 164 Noldo's army is dispatched(1/2)
The leading ebony gauntlet knight didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to salute first.
"Ah, Your Excellency Li Ang! Nice to meet you again..."
Seeing Li Ang, an ebony gauntlet knight suddenly left the team and came over to say hello, with a smile on his face.
"It's you...I'm not very happy to see you in this situation...Tell me, what's going on in this scene now? Why do you beat my men every time I meet you? How can I
Do you feel like you look down on me?"
Seeing the smiling face of the knight, Li Ang remembered that this was the ebony gauntlet knight who had besieged Lisa Dilan in the Long River Forest.
But Li Ang still didn't give him a good look. The lord was not here to resolve disputes.
"I am Dumbledore, Mr. Leon. We are going to the Long River Forest this time. Everything here is all a misunderstanding... You know, our life is to use a mace to crack the skull of Noldor. We don't want to be with him.
There was a conflict between people in your territory. It was really just a small misunderstanding."
The knight didn't mind Li Ang's attitude. He obviously saw John next to the Lord and wanted to settle the matter.
But the lord was not prepared to accept his kindness.
"Dumbledore, attacking my subordinates in my territory can be called a misunderstanding? Who were the people who attacked people in my territory just now? Come forward and let me see."
No one stands up and no one is a fool.
But the businessmen next to them had already begun to point and point: "Sir, this, this, and this, they attacked Mr. John, and this, he just pushed me..."
The Lord Lord nodded: "Okay, everyone else can get out. Those of you who have done anything, according to the laws of Mai Xiangling, this is provoking trouble and disturbing public order, and you have been arrested!"
The ebony gauntlet knights looked at each other in confusion: "Looking for quarrels and provoking trouble? Is there still such a crime?"
There really isn’t such a security clause these days, so it’s normal to have a fight...
"Sir, they just wanted to snatch these carriages away!"
A coachman saw that the lord was obviously going astray and quickly began to accuse.
"Oh? Robbery of Maixiang collar in broad daylight? You are so brave! Looks like they are going to rebel! Arrest them all!"
The lord, with a sinister smile on his face, looked like a villain, waving his hand to signal his men to arrest people.
This time it was no longer a matter of arresting three or five people. Hundreds of soldiers separated from the crowd, their swords drawn out of their sheaths, watching eagerly.
Naturally, the Ebony Gauntlet Knights all took out their weapons.
At this time, John behind Li Ang raised the golden griffin flag in his hand.
"I disobeyed the control orders, plundered the noble territories, and tried to attack the border governors of the kingdom! And this was when I was transporting prisoners of war from the Bacchus Empire..."
Li Ang began to read the charges loudly.
To say this, it is not an injustice to them, it just magnifies everything a few levels...
"No! Lord Li Ang! We will withdraw from your territory immediately... We promise not to step into the Maixiang collar!"
But before the lord could finish reciting the charges, Dumbledore stopped him by waving his hands.
At the same time, he also pulled several ebony gauntlet knights to apologize to Leon and John, and even took the initiative to take out a large amount of dinars for compensation.
That was several hundred dinars, and they were given out without blinking an eye. The Knights of the Ebony Gauntlet were indeed rich.
This Dumbledore seemed to be a very smart guy. Seeing that the lord was obviously trying to criticize him, he knew that he could not have a bigger conflict with Leon at this time, so he quickly surrendered.
Dumbledore is a noble from Cliff Bay. He knows that the flag embroidered with the golden coat of arms cannot be used by everyone. It means that Leon is now a rebel, which means King Ulric's trust——
In the past, Alfred, the Lion Duke of the Kingdom of Pendor, was a rebel.
In other words, Li Ang can directly attack this "rebel" on the grounds that "the Ebony Gauntlet Knights intend to rebel" without reporting or asking for instructions from anyone.
As for the evidence proving their rebellion - judging from Li Ang's current behavior, if the Ebony Gauntlet Knights don't leave, the evidence may be produced at any time...
After all, the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets are not very popular. Except for the nobles of Cliff Bay, I am afraid that no one will speak for them. Then again, those great nobles and kings may also be happy to see them become illegal knights.
group……
In fact, the entire Ebony Gauntlet Knights has a total of 600 people, including more than 100 knights and 500 retinues. They are all well-equipped heavy crossbowmen and war hammermen, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong.
Even counting only those currently on site, there are nearly 400 people.
If there really was a fight, Li Ang would probably not be their opponent.
But they neither wanted to become rebels, nor could they clearly say that this mission was the king's order, so they wisely did not create a bigger conflict with Li Ang.
If they attack Li Ang, it will be the rebels.
Who wants to become an illegal knight?
And judging from what Li Ang means, it seems that he wants the Ebony Gauntlet Knights to attack him?
Considering Li Ang's golden coat of arms...
So Dumbledore made a decisive decision and planned to withdraw from the McLean immediately to avoid further escalation of the situation.
But the lord still stopped them.
"Dumbledore, this is not to embarrass you. Ayrshire just fought a battle with the Bacchus Empire two days ago. I captured more than a thousand people, including a governor - you should be able to understand this.
Is it important?"
Leon looked at Dumbledore suspiciously.
"I understand, Master Li Ang, we really shouldn't step into your territory at this time. It's understandable that there will be misunderstandings. We will leave immediately."
Dumbledore nodded frequently, his attitude was quite good.
"It's not enough to just leave Wheatland, Dumbledore... In order to prevent the prisoners from getting into trouble, and for the safety of the entire Ayrshire, I must see you stay away from Ayrshire with my own eyes. I don't care why you came here.
What, but you can’t set foot in Ayrshire, otherwise I will think you are rebels!”
The Lord shook his head and pointed in the direction of White Deer Castle: "I am referring to the entire Ayrshire."
"Lord Li Ang, but we at least need to rest in the village, right? We don't have to enter Maixiangling and Bailu Castle, but we can't even have a place to station..."
Dumbledore frowned.
"You have been in the market for so long. The supplies you need to purchase should have been completed, right? I can take you to a suitable place. That is the camp that the Bacchus Empire established before to attack White Deer Castle. It is enough to station thousands of people.
Dumbledore, take your people and these mercenaries from who knows which country, follow my men and go there now, I will keep an eye on you from behind..."
So, with ugly faces, the Ebony Gauntlet Knights followed Li Ang's cavalry to the large camp two hundred miles south of White Deer Castle.
We walked this way for a day and a half, and the lord was indeed watching from behind.
It feels like a small army of more than 100 people is escorting an army of more than 3,000 people...
Those mercenary groups actually think it doesn't matter. Most of them come from other countries. The nature of the mercenary group's work determines that they must obey the requirements of local lords wherever they go. As long as the requirements are reasonable, they will not have any problems with local lords.
conflict.
But being stationed in the wild is uncomfortable. Although the mercenaries can understand that military control will definitely be implemented during the war between the two countries, it is inevitable to make noises and complaints all the way.
Although the people of the Ebony Gauntlet Knights felt that it was very shameful, completing the king's mission was more important, so they didn't care about it that much, and they didn't even make any noise.
The Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets are, after all, a knightly order, and the overall quality of its members is still much higher than that of pure mercenaries.
There were so many armed men operating at the edge of the Noldor Forest, and they even settled in the camp with great fanfare. Anyone with eyes could see this.
Especially the mercenaries' military discipline is not very good, they are noisy all the way...
Of course Noldo can see it too.
When the lord first discovered the camp, he felt that the location would be easily noticed by the Noldor elves.
Amy, who has lived in White Deer Castle for a long time, is more familiar with the Noldor elves. In Amy's opinion, the two thousand people who cut down trees to build camps were not attacked by the Noldor elves. It is probably because the Bacchus people are lucky...
And Rissadilan also told Leon that he met the Noldor people behind White Deer Castle-this means that the Noldor people are actually very powerful.
Follow Bailu Castle.
Probably, as long as there is a war near the Noldor Forest, the elves will keep an eye on it, but they will not participate in the human struggle.
This is a very normal thought - if your neighbor is fighting with another group, you will definitely pay attention, and you will probably watch the whole process, but most likely you will not participate...
But if they stop fighting, and a lot of hooligans come to squat downstairs in your house, not only that, but you also find that one of the gangster leaders has a grudge against you - then you will definitely have to participate in this situation, and you will probably rather
Even if the miners are absent from school, they have to deal with these hooligans first.
And at this time, if the neighbors come forward and start to expel those hooligans, and directly call the police, showing a hostile attitude towards those hooligans...
Even if the hooligans who have been expelled by your neighbors are still in the stairwell of your floor, at least you can know that these hooligans have nothing to do with your neighbors, and you will share the same hatred with your neighbors.
Therefore, the lord wants to create a conflict, and then use the conflict to expel these more than three thousand mercenaries and let them squat in the 'stairwell' built by Governor Livius...
Moreover, after the Lord completed this matter, he closed the White Deer Castle.
After returning to White Deer Castle, Li Ang's first order was to close the city gates. Except for the side doors that allowed civilians to enter and exit, any strangers would be strictly interrogated, and those carrying weapons would be expelled on the spot.
He also asked Amy to send a large number of soldiers to announce decrees in various rural knight territories and control the entire county, not allowing any armed personnel to enter even an inch of land in the county.
Once a knight is found to be providing supplies and accommodation to foreign armed personnel, it will be regarded as "suspected of treason."
At the same time, Roland was asked to drive away the rest of the people around White Deer Castle again.
This is the first time such strict control has appeared in Bailu Castle.
