Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Inside the meeting hall of Ironwood Fort.

It was noon, and the conference hall was well lit. The bright sunlight shone into the conference hall, and the entire conference hall was illuminated extremely brightly.

When the spring sun shines on the body, it will not hurt the skin like the summer sun, but a warm feeling, which makes people very comfortable.

It's a pity that only Richard, Ron, and Viscount Salter felt comfortable. Viscount Nader and the other three barons didn't feel comfortable at all.

At this time, the meeting hall was very silent. Viscount Salter seemed to be digesting something blankly. The three barons looked down at the table, as if they wanted to count the lines of the conference table. Only Viscount Nader raised his head and wanted to say something. order something.

Just now, Richard proposed the integration plan of the theater during the discussion.

In order to further increase the war potential of each territory, the Hunter family will send sheriffs and tax officials to the villages in the four territories,

Naderland and the other three baronies are managed together according to the governance method of Hunterland.

In the future, the farmers and soldiers of each family will be trained and managed by the Hunter family, and the Ironwood City Official School will also select suitable schoolchildren from these villages.

In the future, each family will only manage the territory around their own castle.

At the same time, Richard also promised that the past income of each family will be verified, and the tax collected by each village will not be less than before. If the tax revenue is reduced due to the management of the Hunter family, the Hunter family will make up for the reduced amount. part.

Li Cha's proposal caused several nobles on the table to fall into silence.

Of course, the various families are not willing to accept this condition, especially the relatively large territory of the Nader family.

There are hundreds of large and small villages on the territory of the Nader family, and it is roughly estimated that they have a population of nearly 50,000 to 60,000, which is almost the same as that of the Will family before.

If Richard's conditions were agreed, then the Nader family would basically lose control of the village under their rule. If the Hunter family managed it like this for two years, who would remember that the Nader family was their lord.

In the same way, the land and population of the other three baronial lands are not much different from those of the Nader family. Who wants to let someone else manage it if they can be the emperor?

"Master Li Cha, I think this should be discussed again."

After a little hesitation, Viscount Nader still struggled to fight for it, but he may not have realized that under such a huge gap in strength,

Viscount Nader has unconsciously used honorifics to Richard, and he is completely unable to negotiate with Richard on an equal footing.

"What else can be changed, I think it's good, it's cheaper for you!"

Before Li Cha could speak, Viscount Sauter, who had been sitting on the main seat as a mascot, suddenly took the initiative to answer.

He stared at Viscount Nader with a very dissatisfied expression. In Viscount Sauter's opinion, this proposal is really good, and he doesn't have to manage daily affairs, and he can still receive the full amount of taxes.

This is a good thing that can't be found even with a lantern. If it were him, he would immediately agree happily.

"But……"

"boom!"

Viscount Nader wanted to continue to say something, but Viscount Salter slammed the table hard, making Viscount Nader swallow his words abruptly.

"Kang Dang, kang Dang..." A sound of metal collision came from outside the door.

As soon as Viscount Soter slapped the table, a few crusaders who were a little closer outside the door made a movement, and immediately rushed to the door to check inside.

Although they didn't directly enter the door, the crusaders who were all wrapped in armor walked loudly, and everyone's eyes were attracted to them at once.

Viscount Nader and the others even subconsciously wanted to touch the long sword at their waist.

Upon seeing this, Li Cha waved his hands to several crusaders, signaling that nothing happened, and told them to retreat.

Li Cha did not intend to throw the cup as a pretext and let the Crusaders swarm up to keep all these lords here.

After all, doing such a thing blatantly has almost no benefit other than embarrassing oneself, and even if they occupy their territory afterwards, they will not be legally recognized.

If one dared to rely on the power at hand to blatantly annex the territory, it would definitely provoke the intervention of the kingdom.

Li Cha doesn't have the power to deal with the Dragon Knights of Zhenguo now, even the Marquis of the Northland is not something Li Cha can fight against now.

However, the effect of this surprise was quite good. Viscount Nader was obviously a little frightened, and he didn't dare to continue speaking.

"Anyone else have an opinion?"

Viscount Soter stared around at the crowd, and several people lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Viscount Soter.

After Viscount Nader died down, the other three barons didn't dare to stand up and object.

"Since there is no objection, let's do it this way."

Viscount Sauter settled the matter with a few words.

Richard started paddling all the way after Viscount Sauter spoke, because he found that Viscount Sauter was confident enough.

Viscount Soter really felt that the conditions offered by his family were so good that others would not accept it because they did not know good people, good or bad, and flattery.

With this understanding, Viscount Sauter spoke with great confidence, and even made several nobles really have the illusion that the Hunter family is for my good for a moment.

"Come, come, sign the agreement."

Viscount Hunter dominated this kind of meeting for the first time, and was obviously a little excited.

He greeted the attendants on the side to place the agreements and quills that had been prepared in front of the lords.

Under Viscount Sauter's gaze, Viscount Nader finally signed his name on the agreement with some reluctance.

The three barons who wanted to wait and see saw that the most powerful Nader family had signed, so they did not hesitate to put their names on the agreement.

Because of Viscount Soter's true qualities, the whole thing took less than an hour to complete, which was much smoother than Richard imagined.

After signing the agreement, Viscount Nader put down his pen and let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had finally let go of some burden.

In fact, it is not completely unacceptable. The surrounding area of ​​the castle is still managed by the Nader family, and the tax revenue of the village will not be less than before. As long as the full amount of tax money can be received, the Hunter family can do whatever they want.

Viscount Nader, who signed the agreement, unexpectedly came up with this idea.

This is probably because the situation is stronger than others. If the Hunter family had only three or five knights, it would be impossible for Viscount Nader to sign such an agreement.

But now there are so many knights in the Hunter family that Viscount Nader is numb, and even the number seems to be increasing.

Next time, he might not be surprised to find that there are a few more knights, Viscount Nader, in the Hunter family.

Facing such a powerful Hunter family, Viscount Nader had absolutely no confidence in fighting. Since he couldn't resist, he could only comfort himself.

This is actually not bad?
