In a blink of an eye, it was November 1495. In history, Hungary and Austria had to fight another fight. However, because Marin offered 1,000 horses and 3,000 sets of plate armor. In addition, because Marin's heroic story, Austria's military strength increased a lot. The previous glorious record of the empire defeating the French in Italy made the Hungarians not dare to fight with Austria. So, a conflict that should have disappeared was invisible. Perhaps, this is the change brought about by Marin's flapping butterfly wings.

The Austrians were unable to attack Hungary because of insufficient financial resources. Although Austria had 2,000 French prisoners, worth a lot of ransoms. However, the emperor was still waiting for the French to come to negotiate with the ransom. However, the French King Charles VIII just returned to China and was still in shock. First of all, he had to explain the reasons for the failure to the nobles in the country. Otherwise, even the king would not have a good harvest. Of course, France is a country with concentrated royal power and the royal family has a relatively high prestige. If the emperor dared to fight such a big defeat, perhaps the electorate would want to abolish the emperor and choose another...

It is estimated that after Charles VIII sent people to Vienna to negotiate the redemption of the people and pay the ransom, it will probably take several months to wait. Therefore, the emperor does not have enough financial resources to support the attack on the Hungarians. Therefore, it is rare to calm down between Austria and Hungary.

At the Hoffman Manor in Bochum, the "teenage hero" Marin felt very miserable at the moment. He originally planned to rush to Texel Island early, but was kept by the old Hoffman.

Why did Old Hoffman keep him? Take him out to show off...

In order to show off his son, the Baron-sponsored, Hoffmann has been a frequent banquet for guests recently, and invites his old friends to eat and drink. By the way, he pulled Marin out as a model and showed off...

Old Hoffman is an old knight in the territory of Markbour. His friends are naturally also knights. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups." Friends with Old Hoffman are generally knights under nearby knights. He cannot stand up to the barons and higher-ranking nobles, and he does not look down on the common people. Therefore, the ones who interact with Old Hoffman are the knights. Of course, some children of the knight family, who are not titled, are all friends of Old Hoffman when he was young.

Old Hoffman had a brother named Yule. However, when he became an adult, Yule was kicked out of the house by Old Hoffman's father. Later, he heard that Yule went to the Teutonic Knights far away in Poland and became a Teutonic Knight. However, the Teutonic Knights and Markber countries were thousands of miles apart. Old Hoffman had not heard of his brother for twenty years, and he did not know whether it was life or death.

On the other hand, the relatives of Mrs. Mary died almost as much as they were rebellious in East Friesland. Therefore, they had no relatives.

The old Hoffman and his wife only had one of the cousins ​​of Old Hoffman, the Cavaliers of Renel. So, Old Hoffman invited his cousin Renel first, invited him to eat and drink, and showed his baron son by the way...

The Knights Renel lived in the north of the Kingdom of Markbour, while the old Hoffmann was in the south of the Kingdom of Markbour (the Kingdom of Markbour had territory south of the Ruhr). In the Middle Ages, the two cousins ​​did not often come and go. Only major events of weddings and funerals would invite each other.

Renelle didn't know that Marin was named Baron, when Marin wore a baron robe made of silk in Farley, wearing a newly designed family badge - a square black cross printed on a white shield (which was a bit like the badge of the Bishop of Cologne, but the black cross of the Bishop of Cologne was languid, while Marin's black cross was square, the same as the Red Cross of the Red Cross).

Renelle didn't know about it and thought Marin was playing cosplay, so he made fun of it:

"Little Marin, why are you wearing this costume? Want to be a baron? But you have to be a knight first!" Renel knew that the old Hoffmann's knight leader must have been inherited by Adler. Marin, 17, has to leave home and find opportunities after he turns 18.

"Cousin Renel, this is my own robe, which is rewarded by the emperor!" Marin said depressedly. Although it was his own robe and badge, it was regarded as a costume for acting by this cousin...

"Hahahaha, Little Marin, you're singing this opera very well. I'll give you a one-handed sword later." Renel obviously took Marin as an amusing one.

"Haha, Renel, you don't know this? Our Marin participated in the Italian war and led his troops to defeat the French. So, he was really named baron by the emperor!" Old Hoffman laughed happily.

"Cousin, are you here to tease me too? Do your family like acting?"

"Hehe, have you seen the camp to the west of the manor?" Old Hoffman knew that Renel didn't believe it, so he decided to take him to see some "dry goods"...

"What's wrong?" Renel curiously followed the old Hoffman to the camp where Marinna 400 subordinates were stationed...

Seeing the old Hoffman and Marin coming, the 400 subordinates who were still resting and having dinner stood up, raised their right hands, and gave a Roman military salute:

"Hi, Baron!"

Marin also gave a hand raising greeting with a reserved attitude:

"Slow down, soldiers! Don't worry about us, we're just here to see, you guys can continue to eat."

"Yes, sir!" Deputy General Schwartz replied immediately.

Although, in private, everyone calls Marin the boss, they still have to call him "Grandman" in front of others.

Renel looked at the neatly moved 400 soldiers and grew up with his mouth in surprise:

"Cousin, are you going to rebel? So many soldiers gathered..."

"Reneel, I told you that this is Marin's subordinate. These people were accompanied by him to the Italian battlefield, and they were all meritorious soldiers."

"real?"

"Nonsense, when did I have lied to someone?" Old Hoffman was a little unhappy.

Cavalier Renel thought about it and said that his cousin has always been a scheming person and has never deceived anyone...

Then, his tiger body shook, then shook again, and then shook wildly...

"Little Marin, you...you...really a baron?"

"Then there is still a falsehood?" Marin said helplessly.

Then, Renel began to surround Marin, looking up and down, left and right... as if watching giant pandas, or as if looking at mascots... His eyes made Marin feel uncomfortable...

And the old Hoffmann, holding his head up, humming proudly...

...

Not only this time, after Renel left, Old Hoffman invited many knights who had been friends with him. Even some knights who were just nodding were invited. The purpose was naturally to show off...
