Chapter 135: Captured Alive(1/2)

Although Ansel patted his chest and said that he could capture Viscount Scott alive.

But his second young master was arrogant and expensive. The so-called capture of Viscount Scott alive was actually just taking Ander and Emilia to the roof of the car, sitting and drinking tea and watching the battle.

Everyone divided the guests and hosts to sit down, and their maids served milk tea with moderate temperature.

Ande picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea here is mainly milk tea, which is more in line with Ande's appetite than the bitter tea on the earth.

Putting down the teacup, Ander asked, "All, I have seen some war scenes in Leicester. Their combat queues seem to be different from yours?"

He was a little confused. When the four northern leaders fought, their phalanx was larger in size and closer in line with the military formations of the cold weapons era on Earth.

In front of us, whether it was the knights under Ansel or the soldiers of Viscount Scott, they were all in groups of ten and eight people, and the groups were kept at a certain distance. Rather than saying that they were fighting in a formation, they were fighting independently in the form of small teams. Such a tactic could not give full play to the advantages of large-scale combat.

"There is a reason. The four northern leaders, no, the entire Leonard Mountains belong to the low magic zone, so the soldiers lined up to fight." Ansel explained.

"What is the Low Magic Zone?" Ender was even more puzzled. He had never heard of this word.

"Some areas of the world have very weak activity in magic energy, and it is very difficult to build a plastic spell model in these areas, and the Leonard Mountains is one of them."

"When you get here, it's much easier to release magic. Low-level casters can also cast fireball techniques through scrolls and staffs - if the soldiers' array is too dense, a fireball technique will cause huge damage."

Ender nodded, gaining knowledge.

When he was in the four northern lords, he was a little confused. Even the most powerful lord, Baron Leicester, had only two low-level casters around him, and they could only cast some tricks such as amplification - lethal spells such as fireball. I have never heard of them using them.

In the past, Ander thought that the initial caster could not release intermediate spells, but when he arrived in Gra City, he encountered several initial casters, and could cast intermediate spells through enchanting equipment.

(The so-called intermediate spell refers to the spells of the fourth to sixth rings. The first spell is a trick, the second to third rings are the first spells, and the seventh, eighth and nineth rings are the advanced spells).

If the four northern leaders are not suitable for the caster to survive, that would be reasonable.

The sound of horse hooves sounded, the two armies fought, and the knights advanced first.

On Ainsel's side, there were only four knights, and they brought eight knight entourages to the formation; while on Viscount Scott's side, there were seven knights in the formation to charge.

The knights on both sides were surrounded by light, and they should have been blessed with spells. However, the knights on Ansel's side were lit like a lit light. In terms of visual effects alone, they were much stronger than the other side.

As soon as the two sides contacted, Viscount Scott fell into five knights, while the knights on Ansel's side were unscathed, and even the knight entourage sat steadily on the horse. There was also a knight on Scott's side, who was shot down by the knight entourage of Ansel's side.

"kill!"

The morale of Ansel's soldiers and the subsequent caravan guards rushed out was greatly boosted.

Originally, Leicester led the United Caravan with more than 300 armed personnel, and the Knights of Guerr brought about about 100 regular soldiers. After Ansel joined the convoy, he also brought hundreds of soldiers, not to mention that he was equipped with five spellcasters.

The strength of the two sides was quite different, and Viscount Scott's knights thought they were facing an ordinary caravan and were not prepared to prevent failure. As a result, after the Knights were defeated in the confrontation, the entire team was defeated under the superior forces of the caravan, and there was no chance to save the situation.

At this time, Viscount Scott was still sitting in the carriage with a swagger, and he was too lazy to see it even when he came out to take a look.

In Viscount Scott's view, most of the people in a mere caravan led by a Lord must be buddies and coachmen. Even if some caravan guards can compete with the elite knights and regular soldiers around him?

What's more, his knight is surrounded by a spellcaster. Those native buns from the north know what it means to fight together?

After taking the convoy in prison, you must find a suitable reason to swallow the caravan and make up for the financial voids of the Scott family over the years.

Well, this reason must be found well. You must speak righteously and firmly gain moral prevailing.

Otherwise, it would be too unfair to take the caravan to lead people to rob the caravan - yes, it would be better to use the reason why the caravan took the initiative to attack the Viscount's caravan.

Anyway, these businessmen will play robber roles when there is no one in the wild, which is not news.

However, in this way, the gangster knight Stilwell would have to become a righteous Knight who was lured and killed by the caravan in order to save people. Even with Viscount Scott's face, he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of praising Stilwell's garbage.

However, this is nothing compared to the profit you are about to get.

Viscount Scott carefully read the draft of the upcoming justice speech three times.

I am sure that this speech is not logically or tone-wise, and it is enough to convince the old guys of the Kingdom Court of Gilt - after all, he is a viscount, and the other party is just a lord who can barely be called a noble. This gap between the aristocratic identities is enough to make most people stand on his side.

Of course, if your subordinates can compete for some excitement, capture all the other party and throw them into their own territory, they will save even going to court.

Viscount Scott was thinking about it when a noise came from outside.

Viscount Scott opened the curtains with a certain sound insulation effect and asked dissatisfiedly: "What's going on? Isn't it solved yet?"

"It's solved, you can come down." A strange voice said.

——————————————

Viscount Scott did not surrender, and he fought hard.

However, when he was young, he still had two levels of warriors, but with the years of pampering, he is probably not even as good as a first-level warrior now.

Therefore, the viscount was lifted off the ground and was carried to Ansel's carriage.

"What are you doing? Let me go! You are so brave, you dare to treat a viscount of the Kingdom like this!"

Viscount Scott roared loudly, his voice was quite powerful, but he could not stand on the ground and could only slam his legs, which was a bit funny.

"Oh, can't treat a kingdom viscount like this? Viscount Scott, I want to ask you, who gave you the courage, just because I didn't give way to you, you dare to attack the Ottoll family - are you going to start a territory war with the Ottoll family?"

Ansel leaned against the back of the chair, holding a teacup in one hand, poked his head out of the roof platform of the carriage, looked down at Viscount Scott, and asked playfully.

Viscount Scott was howling in anger.

However, when Ansel's face appeared from the carriage, he felt like he was being pinched to his throat, his mouth widened, but he could not make any sound.

He knows Ansel.

For a noble like him who bullies the weak and fears the strong, he has long forgotten what Sir Rodney looks like, but he could never forget the appearance of the main characters of the royal family of the Gilt Kingdom and the two marquis families.

Attacking a noble's heir, even if it is not the first heir, is a kind of endless declaration of war.

Viscount Scott was stiff all over. He twisted his neck little by little, and his neck bones clattered, looking at the carriage door—the carriage door had a white conical sign.

That is the simplified geometric figure of the Frost Mage Tower.

Engage a territorial war with the Ottor family? Even the Gilt royal family must think about it carefully.

"Okay, take him down, and I will apply to King Osverd to fight the Scott family in territory."

Ansel waved his hand and signaled his knights to take the viscount away.

The superior nobles cannot take the initiative to launch territorial wars against the inferior nobles, but when they are severely provoked, the attack on the heirs of the superior nobles is second only to the attack on the superior nobles himself, and can definitely be used as a reason to start the territorial war.

"No, no, this is a misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding! Lord Ansel, I can explain, I can explain!" Thinking of the consequences of the territorial war, Viscount Scott shuddered and shouted loudly.

"Let me listen to your explanation when I have time." Ansel's voice came from the roof of the car.

"Thank you, thank you, this is really a misunderstanding!" Viscount Scott's voice became farther and farther away, and he was obviously taken away by someone.

On the roof of the car, Ansel blinked at Ander, with a prank-like smile on his face: "Okay, whether it is Mr. Rodney's territory replacement or your residence in the royal capital, there is a settlement now."

"Ah, why don't you just annex his territory?" Emilya asked curiously.

For the nobles, territory is not only fundamental, but also the most valuable thing.

In Emilia's view, since the Ottor family seized Viscount Scott's handle, they could only get the greatest benefit if they annexed his territory.

"Emilya, it's not that easy to annex the territory." Ansel shook his head.

"The Viscount Scott does not have a border with us, and the royal family will not let the Ottor family obtain a viscount territory near Kalantuo. He just scared him. However, this time we have to peel off a layer of skin from him."

———————————————

At night, the convoy set up a camp beside a farmhouse.

In addition to Karanju City, there are naturally satellite cities similar to Hanfeng Town.

But we were about to enter the capital, and the caravan had many things to be sorted out at the end, so the caravan did not continue to move forward, but stayed at the edge of a farm - this farm was still an enclave of the Scott family.

There is no need to worry about the sale of goods in the caravan. The caravan has its own sales channels. Even some specialties brought by Ende, such as spice powder, are also helped to sell them.

"End, how much did you bring?" Ansel asked.

This is a very realistic problem. The consumption level of the capital Karanyuan has always been the best. The cost of the capital cannot be measured by the living standards of the four northern leaders.

"Emilya, how much money do we have?" Ender asked.

"We have brought more than half of the money in the territory, and now there are more than 800 gold coins and silver coins left--"

Ansel waved his hand and said that the remaining fractions were not needed: "Don't forget about silver coins, this little money is not enough for you to spend three months in Wangdu, let alone Ande is still preparing to study in Wangli Academy."

Ansel knew that Inde came to Wangdu this time, in addition to broadening his horizons, a very important point was that he wanted to study at Wangli Academy.

The Wangli Academy in the Kingdom of Gilt has long been famous, but do not equate Wangli Academy with the higher education institutions on earth.

This Wangli College does not recruit students to the public, and there are only three ways to study here.

First, he has a noble status and has been approved by the royal family; second, he is a famous scholar and comes to Wangli College for academic exchanges;

As for the third way, it is very straightforward - pay money! If you spend 1,000 gold coins a year, you are qualified to study at Wangli College.

Moreover, this thousand gold coins are only qualified to enter Wangli Academy and attend ordinary courses. If you want to truly join a teacher and get the true teachings, you must also open up the teacher's path and gain his own recognition. As for how to open up the path, it is a matter of opinion, but money is absolutely indispensable.

"What should I do?" Amilia was a little worried.

"I can help with the money, but you know that in a big family like me, there is not something I can decide on alone."

Ansel looked a little embarrassed, but actually felt happy.

A legendary sword saint like Night Demon is irresistible to fight head-on, but not everything can be solved by a sword in this world - as long as you can drag Ende into the water, are you still afraid that the sword saint will not take the bait?

"I can solve the money problem, don't worry, Amilia." Ander gently patted his wife on the back, allowing her to relax.
