Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 51 Occupy the Flower Town
Flower town, in the mansion of Baron Patel.

Baron Patel was tall but very respectful and cautious. Hardy, the leader of the Flower Town Knights, had a deep scar on his face, and looked weather-beaten. The two stood in the study in silence.

Although Baron Patel had someone to help with government affairs, he did not appoint a so-called political officer.So this gathering is just the two of them, one is in charge of the government affairs of the flower town, and the other is in charge of the military affairs of the flower town.

Finally, Baron Patel broke the silence, and he said cautiously, "I wonder what plans Knight Commander Hardy has?"

Now they face a difficult choice, whom to surrender.Is it the murderous Baron Shire or the Ottoman Knight Commander in front of him.

Their original plan was to surrender to Baron Shire. After all, Baron Gilles was a lesson for them, and Hardy was more inclined to Baron Shire.

But Osman, the knight captain of Earl Geithner Coriopersus, rushed to the flower town first, which completely disrupted their plans.

Generally speaking, few small towns build cities, but there are low walls around Huahua Town, which were built by Baron Patel to defend against wildlings.

The so-called savages are people who do not pay taxes, who may be runaway soldiers, serfs who cannot pay taxes, or criminals.

These people gather together and usually reclaim wasteland in the wild, and they also play guest roles as robbers. During the severe drought more than ten years ago, the wild people who had nowhere to go decided to play a big one. town, looting.

Since then, Baron Patel has left a deep shadow, and he is very insecure. After all, no one wants to sleep well at night, and he is gone.So Patel started building the walls.

Where does the money come from, and it is the privilege of the nobles to withhold some taxes reasonably. Patel has done a good job, taking no more, no less, and there is no need for Earl Keith Tulip to argue with him.

As for Patel's formation of his own Knights, a baron without a fief, embezzling taxes, and forming a Knights loyal to him, this is courting death.

Seeing that Patel was building the city wall, Earl Keith Tulip sent his trusted Knight Commander Hardy and ignored it.After all, he had seen it in person, the city wall was not high, so it could only be used against savages who did not have siege equipment.

Facing the Ottoman Knight Commander, it is definitely impossible to defend, but the problem is that Baron Shire's messenger has arrived at the Flower Town one step earlier, and has also shipped away this year's autumn grain.

Not long after he left, even the serfs were signs of him a few days ago.After all, Baron Shire and Patel, who murdered the whole family, would never dare to offend.

Baron Patel, who may be offended by both sides, now just wants to live on, get through this turmoil, and maintain the continuation of the family. As for who will get the flower town, and whether he can continue to be the mayor in the future, Baron Patel doesn't know. Don't care, living is the most important thing.

Besides, the Hardy Knight Commander of this flower town, he was appointed by Earl Keith Tulip. Earl Keith Tulip promoted him from a small serf to the current state. He is naturally dead to the Tulip family. loyal.

But Knight Commander Hardy spoke slowly: "You can surrender to Osman, but the Knights of Flower Town cannot be dismantled, and must continue to be led by me."

Hardy is loyal to Earl Keith Tulip and the Tulip family. Even if Shire says that he married the first daughter of the Tulip family, let’s not tell the truth. Even if it is true, he will become the Iris family in the future.

Before life and death, he offered selective loyalty to Charles who married Tulip's prostitute daughter. If he could only choose one of the two, he would choose to surrender to Charles, but who made Osman Knight Commander? Come one step earlier.

The two hit it off immediately, and immediately sent their personal servants to Carlisle to negotiate with Osman Knight Commander.

"Chief Osman, my lord has two conditions. One is to retain the Knights of Flower Town, and Knight Commander Hardy must continue to serve as the commander. The second is to retain Baron Patel as mayor of Flower Town. If you will promise, we will surrender immediately."

"Is Baron Patel joking? There are [-] knights and [-] infantry behind me. How many knights and iron armor can there be in Huahua Town? Dare I negotiate with you here."

Carlisle had expected this for a long time. Baron Patel had rehearsed with him several times in order to prevent accidents. This situation was expected.

"In my opinion, the number of people mentioned by the Ottoman Knight Commander does not match the actual number. The number of cosmos soldiers outside the city is more than 1000. Where did the [-] knights and [-] infantry come from?"

The messenger chuckled, and continued: "Besides, there are thousands of people in Huahua Town, so what if there are only a few dozen knights, relying on the strength of the city wall, it can hold for a few days, but does the captain of the knights have so much time to attack?"

"It should be noted that Baron Charles is also on his way, and the situation will be difficult to say then."

Osman's expression darkened, and he tried to intimidate Carlisle, but seeing that he was unmoved, he said helplessly, "I can at most guarantee Baron Patel's safety."

"I don't have the right to decide for the Earl, the mayor of the flower town, and the fate of the flower knights. The most I can guarantee is that the situation can remain the same now. But after I go in, I must fully take over the flower town ,"

Carlisle thought to himself, this was far beyond Baron Patel's minimum requirements, so he nodded in agreement.Baron Patel's desire to retain the mayor is not greedy for power. If Earl Geithner wants to pursue it in the future, the most he can do is to remove his position, otherwise it will be too ugly.

The low city gate of the flower town opened slowly, and Osman walked into the flower town with a face full of glory. The knights and infantry behind him also lined up and walked slowly into the flower town to welcome the flowers and applause.

Baron Patel and Knight Commander Hardy greeted them with smiles. Osman was not immersed in the appearance of prosperity for a long time. He got off his horse and walked with Baron Patel and Knight Commander Hardy.

"How much food is there in Flower Town?"

"There are still 50 carts of grain." Patel replied respectfully. He knew what his goal was, so he set his position right.

"Why is there so little?" Osman looked at the two of them viciously, "There are more than 1 people in the Flower Town, so why did they collect so little food?"

"Chief Osman, this Baron Shire sent a messenger a few days ago to ask for autumn grain." Petel said cautiously: "You also know that this Baron Shire kills people without blinking an eye. Baron Les's family, how dare I disobey his orders."

"You are the mayor who was personally ordered by Earl Tulip. You don't need to be afraid of him, a small baron. The heroism of a nobleman has not been reflected in you, Baron Patel." Osman couldn't help but scolded .

Although Osman was also deeply influenced by the Korio Perseus family, opportunistic and profit-seeking, he didn't value the so-called face, and he didn't like to humiliate others.But this was really beyond his expectation. What is he, he marched in a hurry, and in the end most of the food was transported away.
