Chapter 683 Promotion
In the early morning, the dawn sun shines on the earth and turns into strands of golden threads.
In the castle of the Shawshank family, the atmosphere did not have much joy of victory in the war.
Because just last night, when they defeated the Frey family's army, Baron Shawshank, the lord of the knights and the owner of this land, died of his injuries, leaving a big mess behind.
Sir Frey didn't need to worry about it anymore. The other party died in the explosion as early as last night when the door was closed.
But Bishop Daniel, because of his extraordinary strength, left a small life and became a prisoner.
At this time, he was tied up with other valuable captives and sealed in a dungeon, waiting for trial.
In the baron's living room, the baroness's eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried more than once.
"Since the baron is dead, Timo should inherit his title and become the new Baron Shawshank!"
Fang Yuan, Gray, and several prominent figures in the castle gathered together, and after a brief discussion, they immediately decided to honor Timo as their new lord, and Xiang changed into new clothes, with a reserved and sad expression His Excellency the baron saluted.
Of course, since the baron is still too young to handle many affairs, it is logical that the baroness will take care of him.
"Ahem...everyone!"
After discussing this series of matters, Knight Gray received a wink from the mistress and coughed: "There is another issue, which is the engagement between Sir Lune and Tanya. After his death, his soul in the underworld cannot rest in peace..."
"Sir Rune, what do you think?"
The former baroness looked at Fang Yuan.
‘Since you even brought up the baron’s soul, what else can I refute? '
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes inwardly, and hesitantly appeared on his face again: "Of course I don't have any problems, it's just that the baron just passed away..."
"It doesn't matter, we don't need to hold the wedding for the time being, just make a marriage contract!" A scholar-like person next to him said immediately.
"Okay, let's do it like this! Maester Luwin, you need to prepare another gifting procedure!"
The baroness wiped her red eyes: "The baron is going to give the Storm Hills as a dowry to Sir Loon!"
"Storm Hills?"
Fang Yuan was shocked.
This is just a small hill bordering his territory, so it wasn't a big deal.
But the key point is that after adding this area, his territory will be completely connected with the thousand-acre enclave where the Wind Howl Manor is located, forming a new fiefdom with almost two knights around the Storm Hills as the center!
In this way, he surpassed many knights in an instant and became the number one powerful faction under the new baron.
'This is both a draw and a split! '
Fang Yuan looked around. Although many people's eyes were smiling, the meaning inside was somewhat intriguing.
This is when he led the soldiers and won the big victory last night!
If you accept these fiefdoms without establishing any meritorious service, I am afraid that you will immediately become the target of public criticism, right?
Fang Yuan sneered in his heart, feeling the kind of soft knife culture among the nobles, it is indeed killing without blood.
‘However, there is no reason not to eat the meat that is brought to your mouth? '
He smiled: "Since it is the baron's kindness, I will thank him from Tanya!"
Looking at this scene, Gray couldn't help lowering his head.
If the baron can survive until today, seeing the brilliant victory of Luen last night, he will definitely change his previous approach.
Unfortunately, by this time, it was too late.
"However, it's just an extra knight collar, making Rune the number one knight under the baron's command... After all, he is a newly promoted nobleman. It will not take a year or two to integrate his territory and increase his strength..."
Thinking of this, Gray immediately calmed down a lot.
Unfortunately, he doesn't know that there are people in this world who do things completely beyond other people's expectations.
"Okay, the last thing is the captive issue this time!"
Fang Yuan threw out this difficult problem, and then fell silent, as if he was waiting for other people's opinions.
At this time, when an ordinary soldier is defeated, he either waits for his lord or his family to pay for his redemption, or is demoted to a slave. There has long been a set of rules.
But what Fang Yuan was talking about was not those ordinary soldiers, but Bishop Daniel and some contacts of other churches.
Without their help, Sir Frey would never have the power to challenge the Baron, or even surround the Baron's castle.
It's just that, except for Fang Yuan, no one here has the courage to really shout and kill - after all, they are members of the church, even if they interfere in the secular world, they cannot judge at will!
So, everyone lowered their heads, looking like they were thinking.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly: "Since you all have no ideas, why don't I tell you how to deal with it? Let's give them as a gift to His Excellency the Grand Duke!"
Although these captives are a bit hot for a baron, they may not be for the Grand Duke.
Even, it may be used as some bargaining chips. Although it may not be very important, it is better than nothing.
"That's a good idea!"
The baroness's eyes lit up, seeing other people nodding, she immediately said, "Just do it!"
Seeing this, Fang Yuan immediately laughed secretly in his heart.
These nobles are afraid of the pressure from the church and the Kingdom of Nott, but they don't want to lose their autonomy. They have always been like ostriches.
Unfortunately, what they don't know is that the Kingdom of Nott may never have the chance to invade the Principality of Stan.
Because, this world is about to undergo drastic changes!
...
Daqian world, in the cave.
The storm swept across, the rain poured down, and the originally quiet ocean, under the action of the strong wind, instantly turned into a roaring monster, setting off a stormy sea.
In such a terrifying environment, a three-masted sailing ship tenaciously supported it without sinking.
Crash!
A wave hit, and a huge amount of seawater rushed onto the deck, sweeping away a lot of supplies and sailors.
The mast of the ship was cut off early, and at this time it could only drift with the current in the storm.
"Left full rudder!"
In the cockpit, Ge Fei was wearing a gray shirt, showing his broad chest and acquainted abs. At this moment, he roared hysterically: "Idiots, if you don't want to die, quickly find a rope to tie yourself to the boat. Bind up!"
Due to the increase in fighting spirit, his figure is as stable as Mount Tai at this time, and his eyes are as sharp as a falcon: "O sea, you can't stop me, I will definitely find the legendary Treasure Island!"
...
The night passed, the sky was clear, and the white seagulls were singing in the sun.
The sea returned to calm, as if everything that happened last night was just a nightmare.
Ge Fei put down the steering wheel, returned to the captain's room, and began to write a certain letter: "Dear Your Majesty Wellington: I am sorry that due to the sudden storm, my ship cannot complete the ocean voyage on time, but please believe that I I am more and more sure of my deduction, our continent is not alone, in this world, there must be its brothers and sisters..."
"...Thank you again for your support, which gave me the possibility of ocean voyage, and I will dedicate all the charts and routes to Your Majesty as agreed...Yesterday, we encountered a huge storm, which made the Our course has been deflected, and we don’t know how far we are from the original target, may God of Creation bless us..."
...
"Captain, you'd better come out and have a look!"
At the same time as Ge Fei was writing, there was a hurried footsteps, and his first mate slammed on the door: "Ahead...found the port!"
"Huh? The port, this doesn't seem to be our supply island? Did a storm last night blow us back to our hometown? Thank you Father God!"
Ge Fei made prayer gestures.
"No! That's not our city!"
The first mate's expression was a little frightened: "It's a whole new world!"
"new world?!"
Ge Fei was startled, and came to the observation deck, holding up the binoculars.
In his line of sight, a continent suddenly appeared in front of him, and a huge port stood quietly.
Above, a large number of ships are moored, and their shapes are completely different from those of the Avalon Empire.
"With such a big port, it can be ranked among the top five in the country, right? And...the other side seems to be also human..."
Ge Fei muttered, and suddenly put on a smile: "Everyone, we will all be recorded in the annals of history because of the great geographical discovery. Of course, more generally speaking... we are going to get rich!"
"Wow!"
The sailors cheered.
In this era, most of the sailors who can risk their lives to fight are poor people with nothing or even exiles from all over the world. The only motivation to motivate them is gold and silver wealth!
Seeing hope at this moment, I couldn't suppress it anymore.
"I don't know how big this land is. Can the empire send troops to conquer it...or is it purely a business object?"
Just as Ge Fei was thinking, their ships were obviously found in the port.
After a burst of noise, several giant ships sailed out, surrounded by many small boats, surrounding his ship.
Ge Fei keenly noticed that the flag the opponent was flying was a black mountain, and he didn't know what it meant.
At this time, on the opposite deck, a warrior in armor appeared, speaking loudly in an incomprehensible foreign language.
If it were an ordinary mountain countryman here, he would immediately know that this is their sea patrol captain, who is issuing a final warning to the intruders: "You have entered the border of the mountain country, put down your weapons immediately and accept inspection, otherwise don't worry Unpredictable!!!”
...
Fang Yuan didn't want to take care of conflicts among mortals.
However, at the moment when the civilizations of the Light and Darkness Continent and the Five Elements Continent converged, a kind of mighty power was suddenly generated and turned into a holy light, pushing the entire cave sky up.
"Dongtian, promoted!"
The true spirit that he returned in an instant sent out a wave of surprise: "If this continues, the future will become the world, and it is not a dream!"
