Chapter 161 Clean up the house
Ahmed paced the room anxiously.

In the room, the flames of the fireplace were blazing, and various patterns of lines, squares, triangles, and colorful tapestries were depicted on the walls.

Because Zoroastrianism prohibits idol worship and the depiction of all creatures and creatures, they rarely use animals and portraits.

Therefore, during the battle, you can find that the Lords of Christ and the knights often hold a large banner of lions, eagles, dragons, bulls and snakes, while the Saracens hold a large banner composed of lines, moons, and flames. banner.

Of course, the "Saladin Eagle" flag is excluded, which is most likely related to the belief in the old Egyptian gods.

The servant brought up a plate of watermelon cut into strips, exposing the red flesh: "Master, don't worry about it."

"How can I not be worried? That's the dragon slayer, said to be the bravest knight in Jerusalem. Who knows if those Assassin's assassins can succeed?"

Ahmed let out a long sigh.

Lothar is well-known, and he is known for his personal bravery. If it wasn't for Lothar breaking the rules and intending to attack them, they would definitely not dare to fight against Lothar.

In addition, the servant they sent to communicate with Leonard has not yet heard from him. If he can get the support of the old earl, he will feel more at ease now.

The servant reassured: "Master, don't worry, these Assassins are not afraid of death, and they carry magic-blocking gold weapons, even if the Frankish lord really has some extraordinary powers, there is absolutely no possibility of being spared. "

It seems that the mouth has been opened.

The voice just fell.

Then there was a loud bang, and the whole mansion trembled.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of shouting and killing surrounded him from all directions.

Ahmed's face immediately turned pale: "It's broken, the holy fire is on, this killer came to me first, didn't it mean that Assassin's assassins are all dead?"

It’s good to be a dead man, but Lothar doesn’t need their confession at all, and he knows who did it. Taking a step back, even if Ahmed didn’t do it, Lothar will put this shit on his forehead .

At this time, he was personally leading the team and sent soldiers to hit the gate of Ahmed's mansion with huge hammers.

Ahmed came to the courtyard wall and looked at the remaining veterans who were fully armed, wearing iron armor and lobster helmets outside, and their faces became even more ugly.

With a hint of luck in his mind, he shouted: "Master Earl, why did you attack my mansion? I have pledged my allegiance to you and contributed money."

boom--

Heads were thrown out by the small trebuchet below, and fell like raindrops in the mansion, causing screams full of fear.

"Ahmed, you hired Assassin's assassins to attack me. Now that their heads are here, do you still want to deny it?"

Lothar sneered.

Ahmed trembled all over. He is a landlord, not even Hussein's kind of cruel and murderous, and his psychological quality is extremely poor.

With a hint of crying, he cried out: "My lord, I, I was also coerced, and Adan and Ebeni ​​are the masterminds."

"Okay, don't quibble, tonight, none of you can escape."

Lothar's side was all the way, and Fringila followed Rangna and led another team to march overnight to attack the mansions of Adan and Albenny.

Due to the reduction in the number of troops led, each team only has more than fifty people, so the group night vision lasts for a long time.

He was in no hurry.

boom--

The wooden door was knocked open.

Lothar shouted: "Attack!"

The remaining veterans flocked into the mansion.

The screams were endless.

...

That night.

The three of Hebron have a prominent position, monopolizing the tax collection rights of tens of thousands of acres of land, and their local tyrants were swept away by Lothar.

The belongings, spices, and fabrics transported out of their homes are simply countless-these are all accumulated by them through hundreds of years of hard work.

"Confiscating property is really a shortcut to making money. If Emperor Chongzhen could learn from me in the late Ming Dynasty—no, if Emperor Chongzhen dared to follow me, he would only die faster."

Lothar felt a little emotional.

But the sequelae brought about by copying the house are also huge. If it weren't for this era, there would be a saying that the vassals of vassals are not my vassals.

This made Lothar's vassals, as well as the local tyrants under the other lords, unwilling to get involved in the situation on Hebron's side.

Otherwise, the rebel army should have gathered tens of thousands of people and besieged the castle of Hebron by now.

In this era when even kings and emperors (especially the Great Germanian Emperor) were just big feudal lords, how a lord can increase his authority is actually very simple.

Just keep expanding your land.

Get more goods and taxes, and the allegiance of more knights.

But Lothar has already provoked the local tyrants of the pagans, and it will be difficult to expand within the territory.

For example, if Lothar tried to deprive a vassal of his title and territory on the charge of "passing the sword" and "fencing", it would easily attract joint opposition from the vassals and local tyrants.

At that time, it is impossible not to fight a few civil wars, and even attract the intervention of external forces.

Because these pagan tyrants are absolutely unwilling to replace the lord riding on their heads with a ruthless role like Lothar.

But it's okay.

Lothar has not yet planned to burn the three fires of the new official's appointment on the heads of his own vassals. Even Leonard has expressed his allegiance to Lothar.

From a legal point of view, there are no mistakes, and it would be too ugly to annex their fiefs with such matters related to personal morality, or some trumped-up charges.

What he wants to use is another way - for example, making a vassal his own imperial knight - this is not uncommon.

A knight is not only a low-level nobleman, but also a profession. When Lothar led troops to charge in a simulated battle, he was not only a knight, but also the king of France and the Duke of Niger.

At this time, it is the best choice to gradually erode and assimilate the fiefdom of the Earl of Transjordan from top to bottom.

After breaking through Ahmed's mansion.

Lothar and Prajna took the lead with a team of guards, escorted the prison car back to the lord's hall in Hebron.

Jeanne will also be responsible for the "division" of the next day, and Fabio and Andreas will act as Jeanne's assistants.

It's a pity that you can't get equipment like a barracks, although you don't need to spend money to change your job to become an imperial order knight.

Fortunately, Marles' blacksmith shop can already produce full plate armor, which is not bad.

Tonight, Lothar will take away the three largest local tyrants under his command, and a public trial will be held tomorrow-to expect these people who cover the sky with their hands in the local area will not do evil, it is too much to look forward to the glory of humanity.

They were not as smart as some landlords of a certain Eastern Dynasty, who could annex land while opening warehouses to stockpile grain.

After the trial, they will be hanged on the gallows-the wives and children who have done less evil will be reduced to slaves, and they will all be sold or thrown to work in the mine.

He is not in the mood to fight slowly against these places.

He wants to integrate the forces in the territory as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the recovery of the captured Aila Port and Alandele City.

what?
Alandre is the bishop?

What are you thinking!

If Alandele is recovered, Lothar will at best grant Alandele to Urdin in name and ask him to be the Archbishop.

It is absolutely impossible for Lothar to spit out Alandele again and return it to the church.

As for regaining lost ground.

His goal is the adjacent Sinai Peninsula. Although most of the land there is uninhabited desert, the northern coastal area is quite livable and rich.

If he can really capture the Sinai Peninsula, then his title as earl may also be changed—becoming the earl of the frontier, which can also be translated as feudal lord.

It's just a nominal difference, no one cares about a title.

No one would think that Lothar, the feudal lord, is a head higher than Earl Raymond of Tripoli.

But Lothar felt that he should be able to get a new reward. Who made the saying in the past that "the West also implements the canonization of princes and uncles" already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

Back in the castle, Lothar returned to his room to rest after a brief wash. Tomorrow is not only the day for the public trial, but also a new week of lucky draw.

　I wish you all a happy new year, and wish you an early year in advance.

　　Love you guys.

　　mua~
　　If you want to listen to bang bang bang bang bam.

　　I'll hit everyone on the spot.

　　Bang Bang Bang --
