Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 186: The Bloody Battle of Amondin (9)
From the city gate to the Sheriff's Mansion, it only took a while for Baron Collis and his party to walk at full speed. This made the people waiting at the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion a little anxious.
Sir Pippin said dissatisfiedly: "This guy Corliss, they win the battle only if they win the battle. He is still so high-profile, let's see what he can do in the next battle!"
"Hey!" The treasurer standing next to Sir Pippin sighed and said: "If the father-in-law and his father-in-law win two more battles, our county and city warehouses will be emptied. Just watch.
This time, this old fellow, Collis, wants to take away a lot of things from the Sheriff!"
"Hehe!" Sir Rudy, the Sheriff, couldn't help but smile when he heard the two of them sarcastically mocking Baron Collis, and then joined in and said, "Anyway, they have eliminated so many pirates, so they still deserve credit.
.
However, relying on our merits, it is really unreasonable for the three of us to wait for him in this cold wind for so long. This old guy only cares about his own glory."
Just as the three of them stood at the door of the Sheriff's Mansion, shivering and scolding Baron Collis, Baron Collis, who had enjoyed the flowers, applause, and cheers all the way, finally arrived at the door of the Sheriff's Mansion.
He was very energetic and enthusiastically hugged the three people in front of the door, and prepared small gifts for all three of them, a small purse containing fifty dinars. It seemed that Baron Collis also knew
If you make people wait, you will definitely make them unhappy, so you just use a silver bullet offensive.
I have to admit that after receiving the small purse, the three people immediately looked much better to Baron Collis. After all, the weight of the pressing hand made the three of them feel that the wait in the cold wind was quite worthwhile.
.
At the banquet that night, Baron Corliss, like a bard, vividly recounted how he and his son-in-law Sir Aemond used ingenious tactics to defeat more with less and annihilated 600 pirates in one fell swoop.
The main force of the Tuba pirates.
Baron Collis's wonderful narration was sometimes deep, sometimes high-spirited, sometimes tragic, sometimes fierce... The nobles present, including Viscount Merri, listened with excitement, as if they were on the battlefield.
Under the wonderful narration of Baron Collis, everyone was very happy and enjoyed listening to it, so much so that no one tried to explore how many Toba pirates they had really annihilated, but just reveled in the scene.
The next day, after sobering up, Baron Collis quietly took Viscount Merritt to interrogate several captive pirates. From the mouths of these pirates, Viscount Merrily believed what Baron Collis told him, that is, Pong was a pirate.
There is a large amount of property looted by pirates in the water town. If measured in dinars, it is probably more than half a million dinars.
Before coming, Baron Collis, who had interrogated the pirate prisoners and discussed it with his son-in-law, thought that Viscount Lamery would do a big job together. A regiment of county soldiers plus his regiment would be enough.
A thousand warriors.
With an army of this size, it would not be very easy to defeat those pirates who are about to collapse. When the time comes, the money will be equally divided among the three families, and the credit will also go to the three families. Everyone will be happy. Baron Collis thought that Viscount Merrill would definitely agree.
Although this level of wealth is not enough to tempt Viscount Merri, because after all, such wealth is just the icing on the cake for a wealthy lady, Viscount Merri is more concerned about merit.
Defeated the main force of pirates, seized a large amount of property, and rescued a large number of prisoners. With these dazzling military exploits, his status in the eyes of the monarch will be improved. With the help of Earl David and others, after the monarch also becomes king,
I will definitely be able to become a Earl Dangdang, which can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of several generations of my family.
However, although Viscount Merritt was a little tempted, he still had no attitude on his calm face. He only said softly to Baron Collis: "Your proposal is very good, but I need to think about it carefully. After all, it is too late."
Although the Pakistani pirates say they have lost two games in a row, according to you, the main force of pirates outside the city is 2,000 people. After you annihilated 600, there are still more than 1,000 people.
This is about the same as our total strength after joining forces. I feel that it is still a bit risky. Besides, the reputation of these drag pirates for their daily bellicosity has been spread for so many years. It should be true. I am afraid that there is fraud in it."
Hearing Viscount Merritt's recovery, Baron Collis felt a little unhappy. What do you mean? Do you think our great victory was faked? Although I exaggerated, these two hundred morons
The pirate's head is real.
However, although he felt unhappy, he continued to smile. Baron Collis smiled and said: "Master Sheriff, you are absolutely right to be cautious. However, the combat effectiveness of the Tuba pirates is really not good."
How else, how else could the boy from Fort Nolandenburg and his group of farmers annihilate five hundred pirates with such a weak force? Think about it, right?"
"Hahaha!" Viscount Merri laughed a few times and responded: "Brother Collis, I know what you mean, but the county soldiers of my regiment have just gone through less than half a year of training.
, although it has some appearance, its actual combat effectiveness is probably still average, so I’m a little worried.”
Hearing this, Baron Collis smiled slightly and said: "Lord Sheriff, actually fighting is just like a blacksmith training a sword. A sharp blade is the most important. As for the sword body, as long as it doesn't break easily,
If you drop it, it will be enough.
This battle group of Aemond and I is your sharp sword. With us here, the county soldiers can just harvest the remaining enemies and capture the prisoners. We are the main force fighting the pirates, my Lord Sheriff.
"
"Yeah!" After listening to Baron Collis's words, Viscount Merry nodded and expressed his approval. He seemed to be really tempted, "Well, I'll discuss it with Sir Pippin, who is in charge of the county soldiers in the past two days. After all, let
I can't just have the final say on the garrison's departure from the city."
"Well, I will wait for the good news from the Lord Sheriff. By then, you will defeat the invading pirates and seize a large amount of property, and you will definitely gain more trust from the monarch." The old guy, Baron Collis, said secretly.
Viscount Merritt said what he cared about most.
However, the cunning Viscount Mery did not accept the move, but smiled and turned away, leaving Baron Collis in the cold wind and dead leaves.
However, Viscount Merry was indeed tempted. As a palace viscount who was assigned to serve as a county guard in the barren land of the north, he wanted to return to the palace as soon as possible, but without any decent achievements, a nobleman of his level could not do anything.
It is also difficult to get promoted by the monarch in the operation. At present, the suggestion made by Baron Collis is indeed a good opportunity.
