King of German Mercenaries

"Father, brother!" Marin came to the intersection and was surprised to see the old Huffman and Adler who came to meet him. But he reacted quickly, and dismissed and greeted the old Huffman and Adler.

The old Huffman clucked "um", but in fact he blossomed. He was an unlovable knight in Mark's country. He gave birth to a son and became the baron of the empire, whom the emperor proclaimed. How can he not be proud? But before his son had so many hands, he had to hold back a little.

Adler beside him was relieved. In the past, he was the boss who could inherit the family business. Moreover, because of his martial arts, he will definitely pass the assessment of Earl Mark in a few years and become a knight of the country. Therefore, his identity is naturally superior to Marin, who has no inheritance.

Alas, he was good to Marin before. But now Marin has become the baron of the empire, separated from the party, and has become the number one in the empire with a name and a surname, and he has not yet made a name, not even a knight. So he inevitably thinks a bit. For example, how to get along with Marin in the future ... Want to salute to Marin ...

Old Huffman and Mrs. Mary must not salute Marin. Although Europe does not promote filial piety, basic moral principles still exist. But Adler and Marin are peers, and they have no parenting grace. If Marin cares, it would not be impossible for Adler to salute him. You know, there is no such thing as a "brother-in-law" in Europe. Brothers are completely independent individuals and are most intimate.

Seeing Marin still treating him the same, Adler breathed a long sigh of relief. Overtaken by his underage brother, Adler must be uncomfortable. However, he is not stupid. Marin is developed, can he not pull him in the future?

After the two parties joined together, the father and son hurried back happily. Halfway, Adler asked:

"Marin, what's in your carts? It looks heavy." Adler pointed to the carts loaded with plate armor and horse armor.

那个 "Well, that's the plate and horse armor I captured from the French knight ..." Marin replied indifferently.

这么 "So, is it true that you defeated the French king?" Adler had seen Marin's letter before, otherwise he would not know Marin was going home. However, he was skeptical whether Marin defeated the French king. After all, it was the king of France, the first knight power in Europe, and he also brought 8,000 martial arts knights. However, Marin told him that the large vehicles were equipped with seized armor, which made him believe. Because the Huffman Manor currently has three knights, the old Huffman, Adler, and Marin. Marin also does not need to buy a few large car armors, and generally Marin cannot afford it.

"You still need to ask, can the seeds of Lao Tzu be inferior?" Old Huffman gave Adler a hard look. Does Adler doubt Marin's martial arts?

Adler was a little stunned, but he was not convinced and thought to himself:

"I'm not your species too? Haven't mixed up the title of a knight for Mao Lian?" Of course, he didn't dare to say it. Speaking out, it will definitely cause the old Huffman to explode. The old Huffman might not have sealed the Baron's Marin, but he was still pressureless ...

When the large-scale "Black Cross Mercenary Regiment" 400 people and a large number of horses drove into the Huffman Manor, the entire manor boiled.

Mrs. Mary personally stood outside the gate of the manor with three young children and a group of peasant women, and welcomed the return of her son and husband.

Seeing the loving Mrs. Mary, out of this physical instinct, Marin jumped off the horse in a hurry and rushed to Mrs. Mary ...

"Mom, I'm so glad to see you again!" It seemed as if rehearsing thousands of times, Marin couldn't help saying this. It seems that the original owner of this body is very attached to his mother. No wonder the original owner of this body was just a 17-year-old boy. The old Huffman was also a "tyrant", often beating him, so the original owner was naturally close to Mrs. Mary.

"It's such an adult, and the baron has been sealed, still so coquettish!" Madam Mary hugged her son, groaned. But that tone, meaning no blame, was very proud. Especially when it comes to the word "baron", Madame Mary raised her head high ...

"Well, don't be sensational, go ahead. The banquet in the manor has already been set up, take everyone to dinner!" Old Huffman said in a rare manner. Before changing, maybe he would give Marin a kick directly, suspecting his mother-in-law.

对 "Yes, Dad, is the food at home enough? I brought 400 brothers back this time. There are 1030 horses and they all need to be fed."

"Food is absolutely enough! But Marin, why are there so many horses? I don't have enough horse feed." Old Huffman was frightened by the number of horses brought back by Marin.

"Yeah, yeah, Marin, why did you bring so many horses back? Don't you have to hand in the war horses to the emperor?" Adler was also curious. Although he is mean, he is not stupid. He knew that war horses were in Europe, but that was a valuable strategic material, more important than armor. Because not all horses can be war horses. The war horse must be the proud horse.

"Adler, haven't you seen these horses basically without armor? Only 30 are war horses!"

"Thousands of others are horses?"

"Of course, it is a horse for the French heavy cavalry to drive on the road. Although it is not as good as a war horse, it is much better than an ordinary horse."

"The emperor asked you to bring so many horses back? Seized most of them?" Old Huffman was also surprised.

"Don't mention, Dad, the emperor is really stingy. I gave him 2,000 French captives, each of whom was worth at least 500 gold ransoms. In addition, I gave him 970 French war horses, 3000 sets of plate armor, 2000 A set of horse armor and 3,000 two-handed swords. As a result, Your Majesty only rewarded me with a baron title and an island as a baron leader, really stingy! "

"You're content, the baron is still young? Your father and I are just knights. You know, you can go from a civilian to a baron, and it's not too much to step into the sky in one step. Although it is costly, it is also worth it. Because, your Descendants and descendants are also barons! Moreover, it is not normal for your army to receive the emperor's salary. It is not normal for him to receive large amounts of spoils? "Although Hoffman was not very smart, he also had a wealth of life experience. He knew that Marin's future was never the same. Becoming a hereditary baron, his children and grandsons don't have to wait for the Grand Lord to give it away again. Just like Adler, he will go to Markburg at the age of twenty-four and accept the assessment and selection of the Court of the Marquess. After passing the assessment, they can be given the title of knight.

"What island? It's Italian or North?" Madam Mary interjected.

知道 She knew that in the territories controlled by Emperor Maximilian I, Austria and the Netherlands were all by the sea. However, the Austrian estuary is small and there are not many big islands.

"Texel on the north coast, the northern tip of the Dutch province of the Netherlands."

"Texel ... seems to be the westernmost island of the Frisian Islands? It seems quite large ..." Mrs. Mary was born in East Friesland and was familiar with the Frisian Islands.

"Yes, it should be the largest island in the Frisian Islands. The land above is about 162 square kilometers ... Well, you don't know what is a square kilometer? In conversion, it is almost 20,000 Eugram (40,000) Acre) ... "

什么 "What? 20,000 Eugram? That's not 40 times the size of Huffman Estate?" Adler's eyes widened in surprise.

废 "Nonsense, otherwise why is he a baron?" Old Huffman glanced at Adler, yelling.

"I ca n’t say that. I know the situation on the island. There are 20,000 Eugrams. But the coastal beaches, because of the tide problem, have high salinity and have little value for reclamation. In addition, there are some mountains on the island Yau, it is estimated that there must be thousands of Eugrams in the 20,000 Eugrams, which cannot be exploited. "Mrs. Mary grew up by the sea and was relatively familiar with those islands. However, her family is in East Friesland, and she is not familiar with the island of Texel near West Friesland.

"In addition, I can actually recruit some fishermen. You know, it ’s an island, and the North Sea is a famous fishing ground. I can completely recruit fishermen to fish, and then charge them more than half of their catch as a tax." Marin added .

"That's not bad, otherwise, you will have all the fish in our family?" Adler said happily.

"Woolen, there is a two-day journey (horseback) from Texel to Bochum. Sending the fish back has long stink. What can be sent back can only be dried salted fish. But, my Master, do you like stinky salted fish? "Marin gave Adler a scornful look.

"That's right ..." Adler was distressed. In fact, admired by Mrs. Mary, Adler also likes to eat fish. Although he was stuck by a fishbone last time, it did not prevent him from eating fish.

"Brother Adler is stupid, we won't run to Brother Marin's castle to eat fresh?" Little Roanne, beside her, couldn't help but anxious for the boss's IQ.

对 "Yes, Annie is still smart. Let's go to Marin's new house for fish!" Adler also responded.

"Brother Marin, do you really have a castle?" Simon, the third brother, looked at Marin with wide eyes and asked.

"This seems to have a castle. However, it was a holiday castle built by the Earl of the Netherlands more than a hundred years ago. It should not be big. And, it is said to have been deserted for decades ..." The news, Maximilian I told his. The Netherlands was annexed by the bold Duke of Burgundy, Charlie, and is now in the hands of the Habsburgs.

"That's the castle too! Unlike our house, there are only a few tile houses!" Simon said enviously.

中世纪 Nobles were associated with the castle in the medieval conception of the people. Without a castle, I am embarrassed to tell my own aristocracy. The average knight family cannot build a castle at all. Even many poor barons couldn't build castles. Marin can get a castle, even though it is an old castle, it is enough. After all, the castle was built of stone ~ www.readwn.com ~ It is not bad for hundreds of years.

"So what? If you and Albert are happy, Simon and you can live in my castle. But you have to wait until I renovate the castle to make sure I can live there."

真的 "Really? Brother Marin, how wonderful you are!" Simon and Albert both jumped up happily.

"Brother Malin is bad, don't invite me to live in your castle!" Little Lolly Annie is unhappy ...

"Okay, okay, I formally invite the beautiful and lovely Miss Anne to the humble castle!" Marin bowed gracefully and made little Annie giggle.

"Okay, don't talk about it, let's go to the yard to have dinner! In order to receive your men, I killed several pigs and made braised pork ..." The old Huffman was also a little stunned.

Last time Marin was at home, Mrs. Mary was taught to cook Chinese food. This time, to entertain Marin's men, it was the stewed pork cooked in a cauldron made by Mrs. Mary herself. This dish, for both the predator Huffman and Adler, is a tiresome one.

In fact, because of the lack of spices, the stewed meat made by Mrs. Mary is simply castrated. But even so, it was much better than medieval Europeans. Just looking at the two "not bad money" noblemen of the old Huffman and Adler, you know the lethality of this dish.

The mercenaries seated in the courtyard cheered when they saw pots of braised pork. You know, in Marin's army, they only serve this good dish when they are happy or when Marin is happy. Therefore, when a pile of braised pork is brought up, these guys know that they are blessed ~ www.readwn.com ~ Welcome the book readers to read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are in ~ www .readwn.com ~ Please read for mobile users.
