The time for the once-in-a-decade Western Expedition has arrived again. I wonder how many old nobles will fall and how many new nobles will rise.
No one can predict the future.
So they could only organize all their soldiers and knights and make full preparations for the upcoming war.
As one of the nobles of the principality, Baron Klar naturally had to respond to the order of the Grand Duke. In order to show his respect for the Grand Duke, Baron Klar decided to bring all the official knights and apprentice knights in the territory to the battlefield.
There are currently three official knights in Deepwater Territory, but the second son, Kraus, is serving in the Earl's Knights Order and cannot return to the territory to participate in the war under the name of the Baron.
The second is the old knight Foster. After the death of Lilith Golden Rose, Baron Klar no longer had the qualifications to command the old knight. After all, the old knight had the title of knight.
Therefore, the old Knight Foster should be called Sir Foster, not Grandpa Foster as Krober calls him now.
However, this way of calling is more intimate and can bring the two sides closer together.
After all the calculations, the only official knight that the entire Deepwater Territory could command was Baron Klar himself. The baron was quite brave when he was young, but after living a life of luxury for a long time, he began to become afraid of death.
The final conclusion is that the combat power of the official knights in the entire Deepwater Territory is zero.
This conclusion is quite shocking in the entire Knight Continent. A baron doesn't even have a formal knight to command. It would be a joke if it were made public.
Baron Klar, who was sitting below and listening, naturally felt that something was seriously wrong.
You have to know that according to the normal marching process, a small noble like him who was enfeoffed by a great noble would need to lead his soldiers to set out in advance and assemble under the command of his lord, and finally set out to the battlefield together with the great noble directly enfeoffed by the Grand Duke.
Baron Klar's lord is naturally Count Stephen Moonlight Mushroom. Although there are not dozens of barons and nobles under the entire Moonlight Mushroom family, there are at least eight or nine including his own family.
And these barons have at least one or two official knights under their command.
In this comparison, the Oat Family is probably the weakest among all the nobles.
So, he turned his gaze to Knight Foster, the guard standing behind Krober on his right side, and spoke:
"Sir Foster, I wonder if you are willing to assist the Oats family in this war. As a reward, I can grant you any territory except Lakeside City as your knight's territory."
Lakeside City is the center of the barony. Unlike ordinary nobles who build castles outside the city, Oatmeal Castle is built in the central area of the entire city. Although it will delay the efficiency of military activities and increase the risk of military intelligence leakage, it has one biggest advantage, which is safety.
If Deepwater Territory was invaded by the enemy, the first barrier they would face would be the simple earthen walls of Lake City, followed by the residents living in the outer city, and finally the Oatmeal Castle in the center of the city.
From this point of view, Baron Klar's cowardly nature is very obvious.
In fact, the construction site of Oatmeal Castle was chosen by the first generation Baron Deepwater Ridge. At that time, he mainly thought that the terrain was flat and close to the water source. Fishing could also enrich the food variety of the castle. If it was besieged, it could rely on the aquatic products in the lake to survive.
But in Baron Klar's opinion, these conditions are sufficient to support the establishment of a city.
So the lakeside city was built, with convenient transportation, dense population, and flat and fertile land.
It must be said that Baron Klar was quite wise in governing his territory, although Krober believed that the baron built the city to protect the safety of his own castle.
Baron Klar directly allowed old Knight Foster to choose a fiefdom as his knighthood, which undoubtedly expressed great sincerity.
The farmland outside Lakeside City is an oat-producing area built by oat elves and other oat and wheat elf insects. It is the largest grain-producing area in Deepwater Territory.
Most of the other elf bugs are placed in the vegetable village in the south.
Vegetable Village is located on the south side of Deep Water Lake. It is not far from Lakeside City, but it is definitely not close either.
There are several vegetable-type elf bugs placed there, such as cabbage elf bugs, carrot elf bugs, etc. It is the second richest place in Deep Water Territory.
Judging from what Baron Klar said, he had no objection if Foster chose Vegetable Village.
Foster, who was standing behind Krober, was not moved by the Baron's sincerity at all. On the contrary, his cold expression directly reflected his current mood.
joke!
Who do you think I am?
I am an outstanding knight noble from the Golden Rose Family Knights Order. I called you Lord Baron and obeyed your orders out of respect for Lady Lilith. Now that Lady Lilith has passed away, do you still expect me to be kind to you?
It's only been a few days since Lady Lilith passed away and you've already married your new love into your family, yet you keep saying you miss her.
Ugh! Disgusting!
Moreover, the cause of death of his lord Lilith is still a mystery. Before the truth comes out, Foster will never give this so-called baron a good face.
Not convinced? If you don't agree, then have a fight with me and see how I can knock your pig brains out.
Seeing Foster's unhappy face and slightly clenched fists, Baron Klar reluctantly chose to give up recruiting him. After all, he really couldn't beat him if they really fought. After all, Foster was already a formal mid-level knight before he came to Deepwater Territory. Now, after so many years, he is not a formal knight at the peak level, but at least he is a high-level one. As a low-level person, he should not provoke him again.
