Volume Two: The Iron Baron Chapter 129: The Battle of Nolandenburg (3)
Asedan stood in front of the two tree stumps. He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Brothers, we all look down on cowards, but if cowards have made meritorious deeds, we will give them a chance to survive." Iboka said
I have brought important information, would you like to hear it first?"
Hearing what the boss said, everyone exchanged looks with each other and nodded in agreement. First let Iboka tell me the information. If it is really important information, then he can be spared. But if you are teasing them, take this
Our two former friends had no choice but to be chopped into pieces and thrown into the lake to feed the fish.
After everyone agreed, Asedan waved and the pirate who controlled Iboka let go. Iboka rubbed his sore knees from kneeling for too long, without even bothering to wipe the blood from his face.
After receiving the amnesty, he smiled and said loudly: "Dad, brothers, what I brought is definitely important information. This idiot named Balian, Nolandenburg, put all his important wealth in the newly built castle.
, do you know how many there are?”
"You bastard! Speak up quickly, or I'll kill you immediately!" Seeing that Iboka still wanted to engage in interactive Q&A, a pirate immediately threw a small stone at him angrily.
Iboka, who was hit, was asking for trouble. He quickly said: "There are 800,000 dinars and 300,000 pounds of grain in it. If we knock it down, we can make a fortune!"
"Is this the important information you are talking about? You don't need to say it. I will knock down the castle and I will get it all together." After listening to Iboka's words, Asedan kicked him to the ground again and picked up the battle axe.
, I will chop him up.
Iboka quickly begged for mercy, "Dad, don't do it yet, just listen to what I have to say."
Asedan put the ax on his neck and said with a sneer: "Speak quickly, if you keep grinding like this, the ax will really cut down!"
At this time, Iboka was already sweating nervously on the low-temperature autumn night. He quickly said: "Although we can still get the entire Fort Nolanden by knocking it down, in that case, we will spend too much effort."
Not to mention, it is very likely that the castle will not be taken down.
Because their castle is newly built and very strong, and it is built on the only hill here. There is only one way to go up. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is impossible to attack it without concentrating troops.
If I hadn't escaped from prison tonight and came to give you information, I guess you would have to clean up the villages around the castle tomorrow first, but the villages in Norlandenburg are all surrounded by what the Brick people call them.
The villages are all small circular castles. If you want to chew them up one by one, it will definitely take a long time and a lot of brothers will be killed or injured.
By then, we will have suffered a lot of casualties, and we have been delayed for such a long time, but can't snatch much property and food from these villagers. Aren't we here in vain? And if we suffer too many casualties when cleaning the village,
, not only will Nolandenburg fail to be defeated, but the scheming Brick may also be able to counterattack, and then we will be completely defeated!
However, I sent information today and gave you suggestions. Dad, you will lead your brothers to Fort Nolanden tomorrow and concentrate your forces to capture him. As long as you get these 800,000 silver coins
, and with so much food, we will be rich, and the earl will rely more on you, dad."
After hearing what Iboka said, Asedan nodded, removed his feet from his chest, and took off the battle ax from his neck, and the pirates who were watching also nodded.
, expressing his approval of Iboka’s statement.
At this time, Iboka took the opportunity to exaggerate how he heard the information, got the key, and escaped with his life. This was at least ten times more exaggerated than the amount of money and food he heard about Nolandenburg.
However, his wonderful performance did allow him to regain everyone's recognition, and several familiar pirates even came to hug him.
By selling misery and exaggerating actual data, coupled with wonderful performances, Iboka successfully made Asedan and his companions accept him, and together with the crimes of the remaining two pirates who escaped with him,
Everyone no longer pursues the case. After all, one of them is dead and the other injured, so there is no need to punish them anymore.
In addition, the news that there were 800,000 dinars in Fort Nolanden really made this group of pirates excited. Although pirates can usually rob a lot of money, they can rob 800,000 dinars at once.
Except for wealthy cities, there is no place like this at all.
But whether it is the Kingdom of Xingal or the rich cities of the Briks and Valendi people, wherever the pirates can reach, there are always a large number of elite troops stationed there. The pirates do not have heavy siege weapons, and they do not
It may be like the wars of the same era, besieging other people's cities for half a year and starting in one year. Naturally, it is impossible to plunder such astronomical wealth.
Therefore, pirates usually rob villages, towns and small castles, and the property they can obtain is actually very limited. For a wolf lord like Asedan with five to six hundred troops, a robbery lasting about two months can usually only get
There are about 200,000 dinars, including grain, cloth and other goods, and direct gold and silver acquisition, which is not that much at all.
Moreover, these 200,000 dinars are the result of the collective labor of these five or six hundred people within about two months. Excluding what was handed over to the earl and the wolf king, the wolf lord and the leaders will divide it up. Ordinary Tuba pirates can
For a few dozen dinars, plus a slave, some grain and cloth, it's already pretty good.
They had never seen the big world in daily life. After hearing the news of 800,000 dinars, this group of pirates became extremely excited. For this order, it would be no problem for each of them to share a few hundred dinars.
Didn't the pirates realize that it was unusual for a small barony to have so much gold and silver?
If it were anyone else, they would definitely feel it was abnormal, but now that it was Nolandenburg, they wouldn't be surprised at all. Why?
Because, when they looted Yang Weixuo Province, they obtained a certain amount of exquisite painted pottery and soap. After they tortured the holders of these items, they knew the place where these exquisite and expensive goods were produced. Nolan
Denburg.
A country that can produce such exquisite utensils, and these goods can be sold well in a wealthy area like Yang Weixiao Province, then the place where these utensils are produced must also be very rich. The Toba pirates can logically understand this, and
Because of this, they were not surprised that Nolandenburg had so much money.
In the eyes of these pirates, it would be strange if Nolandenburg did not have so much money.
After Iboka and the others settled their affairs, Asedan ordered people to arrange a tent for them, and asked them to prepare new clothes and food for them to have a good rest. Iboka and the others expressed their gratitude to each other.
Asedan went down after thanking him profusely. Asedan and the other pirates were also in a good mood and were ready to go back to sleep. Their plan was to sleep well tonight, recuperate their energy, and strive to capture Fort Noland in one go tomorrow.
