Chapter 416: Outsmarting the Viscount Castle(1/2)
Time passed and came to the morning of the next day. Nalant and his subordinates rushed directly to the Viscount of Will.
The Viscount family deserves to be called Viscount, and there are a total of two small towns with tens of thousands of people in the territory.
Among them, the town where the castle is located is faintly developing towards the scale of a small town. Apart from the lack of city walls, the population has exceeded 30,000.
Arriving outside the town, Nalant made the same preparations as yesterday, hiding the prisoners and barbarians in the woods outside the town, and then led the guards and convoy into the town in a high-profile manner.
He originally expected that this viscounty might fall into his hands as easily as yesterday.
Unfortunately, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.
I don’t know whether it’s because the Viscount family has a different method of educating their children, or because the family’s great business does not rely on hosting caravans as its pillar industry.
When Nalant took the team to wander around the town for a long time and spent money to purchase a lot of food and wine, he was surprised not to see anyone from the castle come to say hello.
However, I encountered a small group of patrolling guards wandering around the town. They approached and tried to get close to them, hoping to get some benefits.
Narant was speechless upon seeing this. He really didn't want to use force to attack the castle if it was not necessary.
It's too laborious to attack the castle. It's not as easy as attacking Huanglong.
After thinking for a moment, Nalant was still a little unwilling. He gave an order to Quick and called over the small group of patrolling guards who were wandering nearby.
"My dear sir, is there anything I can do for you?"
This guard team is a bit shabby. Except for the captain who wears a pair of worn leather armor, the other guards are all dressed in coarse linen and are only equipped with a few old long swords.
Upon hearing Quick's greeting, he immediately came to Nalant and nodded and bowed.
"Well, you are the Viscount of Will, right? Did your Lord Viscount go to the Autumn Expedition?" Nalant said with a friendly look on his face, and even handed over a plate of barbecue as a reward.
"Thank you for the reward, sir!" The captain of the guard took over the large plate of barbecue and immediately smiled from ear to ear. "To return to the noble lord, our Lord Viscount set off with his team a month ago!"
"What a pity! My father and Viscount Will were very familiar with each other before. This time I took the caravan to the desert, and he asked me to bring greetings to Viscount Will when I came back?"
"By the way, who is in charge in the castle now?" Nalant asked, changing the subject.
"Back to your noble lord, Master Ryan is in charge of the castle now, but... Lord Wick explained before setting off that Baron Perry is now in charge of everything in the castle!"
"Huh?" Nalant looked confused.
"My noble lord, Baron Perry is Lord Will's vassal. Your Lordship is worried about the safety of the castle during the Autumn Campaign, so he handed over the duty of the castle to Baron Perry!"
"Really?" Nalant nodded.
He was thinking that the situation now would be more difficult than before. As long as a baron did not inherit his father's legacy, his strength would definitely be high!
Nalant's mind changed and he immediately came up with a plan, "In that case, please help me inform Mr. Leib. Since Mr. Will is not here, I will not go to the castle. You ask Mr. Lane to come to the town.
, I will just hand over the gift my father gave to Viscount Will to him!!"
"By the way, my name is Harry Potter, from the Viscount Potter family!"
As he spoke, Nalant flipped his hand and another silver coin appeared, and then flicked it towards the guard captain with a ding sound.
The captain of the guard had quick eyes and quick hands, and he steadily received the silver coins.
"Okay, noble nobleman, please wait a moment. I will go and inform Master Ryan!"
After saying that, the guard captain quickly headed towards the castle.
Not long after, Master Ryan arrived, also a young man in his early twenties, with five guards behind him.
However, what made Nalant a little disappointed was that Baron Perry did not show up.
"Sir Harry?"
"Yes, are you Master Ryan?" Upon seeing this, Narant stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically.
"Yes, Sir Harry, I heard that your father is familiar with my father, but I don't seem to have heard..." Ryan said in confusion, with a little caution in his eyes.
"Haha, I'm not too sure about this. My father said that he met Viscount Will during the battle. Viscount Will saved him once, and this time he specifically asked me to bring a gift to greet him!"
With that said, Nalant waved his hand behind him, and Quick immediately pulled a carriage forward. The carriage was loaded with a lot of goods, including barrels filled with beer, some fine silk cloth, and several
Leather armor long sword.
"So that's the case, then your father is too polite. Sir Harry, this is not the place to talk. Why not go to my Viscount Castle and sit and chat!"
Faced with the gifts of this cart, especially the new sets of leather armor and long swords, Ryan immediately put down his guard and warmly invited Nalant to the castle.
"Okay!" Nalant was overjoyed and gave instructions to Quick and others, and then followed Ryan towards the castle with only a few lucky girls and a carriage.
I have to say that a viscount is a viscount. Although the castle is far less majestic than the Earl's Castle, it is still twice as big as the Baron's Castle.
Moreover, the Fort of Viscount Wick is rare to be built on a hill, which makes it really easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Uncle Perry, this is the son of my father's friend, Lord Harry of the Potter family. Please open the door and let us in."
Arriving under the castle, Ryan immediately shouted towards the city wall.
Immediately, Nalant saw a middle-aged man with primary silver strength appearing above the castle.
"Master Ryan, Lord Will told you before departure that for the safety of the castle, no guests can be entertained in the castle during this period!"
Contrary to Nalant's expectations, he originally thought he would be able to successfully enter the castle by deceiving Ryan, but he still encountered setbacks.
"Sir Ryan, since Uncle Will has told me, if you don't care, I will rest in the town for a while and then set off in the afternoon!" Nalant's eyes flashed and he immediately spoke to Ryan.
"How can this be done!" Ryan is indeed very aristocratic and very young!

That’s face!
The more Nalant behaves like this, the less likely he is to give up.
"Uncle Perry, this Lord Harry is a good friend of my father's. He came here specially to visit this time. If we turn him away, will anyone dare to visit our Will family after word spreads?" Ryan's tone changed.
Have to be strict.
Perry, who was above him, immediately showed a confused look. He hesitated for a moment, and seeing that there were only four or five people in Nalant, and except for the coachman, the others were all women, he finally said, "Master Perry, please wait a moment, I will come down and open the gate!"
Soon, the castle gate slowly opened, and the suspension bridge in front was lowered.
"Sir Harry, please!" Upon seeing this, Ryan's originally sulky face finally recovered, and he invited Narant to go towards the castle.
"Okay!" Nalant nodded with a smile.
After walking across the drawbridge and through the castle gate, there is a vestibule three or four times wider than the Lucky Castle.
Nalant looked around and saw that there were more than thirty guards in the castle. It was indeed a viscount's castle.
"Master Ryan!" At this time, Baron Perry came over to greet Ryan, but at the same time he kept looking at Nalant, and the alertness in his eyes was very obvious.
"Uncle Perry, this is Harry Potter!" Upon seeing this, Ryan introduced solemnly again.
Nalant also focused on this Perry at this moment. Judging from the aura, this Perry was much stronger than him. After all, he was a newly promoted Silver Knight.
"Nice to meet you, His Excellency Baron Perry!" Narant said hello first.
"Hello, Sir Harry, I wonder where the Potter family is located. I don't think I have heard Sir Will mention it before?"
This problem again?
Nalant was speechless. He originally wanted to take it slow, but it seemed he was about to start taking action again.
"Baron Perry, our Potter family is also a vassal of Marquis Leeson!"
"Is he also a vassal of Marquis Leeson?" Perry was stunned.
Clang!
But while Perry was stunned, Nalant pulled out the long sword in his hand.
"You..." Peili's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly took two steps back and pulled out his long sword at the same time!
when!
Narante is intertwined with Perry's sword.
"Enemy attack! Fire arrows! Enemy attack!"
After narrowly blocking Nalant's blow, Peri looked even more frightened, because although Nalant's power was not too strong, his speed was too fast.
At that moment, Perry retreated continuously while shouting orders to the surrounding guards.
Whoosh!
