Chapter 309: Too much thought
One day later.
Sighing at the high wall, the city lord's mansion.
The hall under the cascading buttresses is filled with warm and warm music.
After a big win, you always have to relax.
Now that the prisoners have been dealt with and the resistance forces have been basically eliminated, a cocktail party is inevitably held.
The melodious music was swaying, rich food was placed on the table, and the aroma of wine, wheat and meat was intertwined, and there was no trace of the tension of war at all.
In addition to those on duty, officers above the captain of the Eagle Army have gathered here.
Eric took Vesdon and Hyena aside to drink, and bursts of laughter broke out from time to time.
It was the first time for Hoyaz to attend such an occasion. He huddled in the corner and was a little overwhelmed. Occasionally, a few officers who had trained him would come over to joke and tell some jokes.
The atmosphere is quite harmonious.
Linden was also here, but he obviously couldn't fit in with Raven's circle of officers. He stood aside with a cold face and a glass of wine in his hands without saying a word.
In addition to him, there were other Eivors who joined Revan's side.
Just like Porky and Myron.
These two were both barons of the Principality of Eivor. They rebelled the most actively on the day the city was broken.
Although they have surrendered, in their eyes, most of the mud-legged people present who do not even have knighthoods are not worthy of being in the same room with them.
Only for the sake of Baron Raven did he reluctantly endure it.
"Linden, you bastard." Baron Poch returned to Myron with a glass of wine and spat lightly:
"I just went to toast with him, what do you think he said?"
"He actually ignored me."
"I really think Wanda is still alive!"
Myron's face also looked a little ugly, but he was not surprised:
"His bad temper has always been like this, so aloof!"
"Qing Gao, hey, Qing Gao." Boqi still couldn't let go of the fire in his heart.
In fact, it was the unanimous idea of Myron and Pochi to contact Lyndon this time.
These Eivor nobles who surrendered to Raven's command will find it difficult to squeeze into the core circle in a short period of time, so they must stick together in order for Raven to take them seriously and protect their own interests.
"They all come from the same dyeing vat, and Wanda also has his own share of wounds!"
"You have to build a memorial arch after being a bitch, how arrogant you are!"
Listening to Pochi's complaints, Myron also felt a little angry.
He sees a little further than Porky.
Myron didn't think Raven could hold on for long, sighing that sooner or later the high wall would return to the hands of the Principality of Eivor.
If he can be tied to Lyndon here in Raven and act like he obeys Lyndon's orders, then when he returns to Eivor, he can put all the blame on Lyndon.
After all, Lyndon had the highest title among those who surrendered.
Unexpectedly, Linden didn’t give him any chance.
Thinking of this, Myron said with some sadness: "Humph, then let him be noble. Does he really think that he, a third-level knight, is so valuable?"
"We didn't resist at all and just abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. He only regretted it later. How could he be qualified?"
"When Baron Raven comes later and talks and laughs with us, he will know that he regrets it!"
Pochi nodded vigorously.
Raven didn't keep them waiting long.
The reception was for relaxation, so Raven wore a dress that was not very luxurious, but very decent.
As soon as he appeared, Eric and others greeted him and congratulated Raven and toasted him.
When getting along with "his own people" like this, Myron would certainly not go up to ask for trouble, but he gradually moved his steps, waiting for the people around Raven to disperse, and then he would be the first to go up.
He had already begun to think about how to please Raven naturally, gorgeously and without being too obsequious.
What he didn't expect was that Eric and the others had just dispersed over there, and Linden's expression, which was originally like an iceberg, changed rapidly.
Holding the wine glass in both hands, with an old face full of smiles, he walked up to Raven without any reservation.
Then he knelt down on one knee and performed a knight's salute.
Myron and Porky were stunned.
Is this still the grumpy and dismissive Lyndon from before?
Could it be that he was possessed by a demon?
Even when Wanda was still alive, Lyndon didn't do this!
The pressure was immediately put on Myron and Pochi. Lyndon was a serious viscount, and he had to face Raven with knightly etiquette. Myron and Pochi were just barons.
How far do they have to go? !
It was Myron who said first: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, he is just showing off. We will send people back to the territory immediately and donate all the food and gold coins. When the time comes..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Linden's voice from over there: "Dear Lord Lei Wen, I am old and feeble-minded, and only have brute strength, but my son is both wise and brave."
"So I have written to you, and within five days at most, he will come under your command to take orders!"
This shocked Myron and Pochi again.
"It's broken!" Myron whispered:
"I thought he didn't think it through, but it turns out he thought it through too much!"
This guy Linden really wants to put his wealth and life on Raven!
The trick of taking the initiative to send hostages has come out.
At the same time, Myron and Pochi were forced to follow suit.
Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.
This is even more true for descendants like them!
The two looked at each other, made up their minds at the same time, and went forward.
"Lord Raven, isn't this a coincidence? My son is coming soon!"
"Lord Raven, although I don't have a son yet, my daughter and wife are on their way here because they care about me!"
……
The banquet in the city lord's palace was in full swing, and the soldiers also had their own leisure.
After a fierce battle, what is needed most is strong drinks and women.
Based on the tradition of sighing at high walls, these are the most indispensable things in the entire fortress.
Now in a hotel called "Donkey and Rug", Jacob Lai, the ten-man commander of the Second Legion of the Eagle Army, was holding a woman in his arms and chatting and laughing with his soldiers.
After taking a sip of ale, Jacob placed the wine glass on the table, drinking until his tongue was a little enlarged:
"Hey, you don't know."
"At that time, in the alley not far away, I was alone with a long gun pointing at three tin cans!"
"Three times, three tin cans, I knocked them all down!"
Unable to stand his bragging, someone next to him said, "Come on, what does that have to do with you? I was watching from behind. Didn't Simon knock down three of them with one sword?"
"According to what you say, those three are the ones I can stare at to death!"
Jacobai's face turned red, but luckily he couldn't tell because of the alcohol smell. He asked the woman in his arms, "It doesn't matter if he believes it or not. Do you believe that I can use my spear well?"
That woman was used to drinking with her, so she already knew how to speak, so she pretended to be shy and said:
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
There was a burst of laughter all around, and Jacobai also laughed loudly. He picked up the woman in his arms and walked to the single room upstairs: "Then let you have a good experience!"
At this time, the woman rolled her eyes and asked an inappropriate question: "Don't you need to wait for Simon?"
"A bitch is a bitch, isn't she?" Jacob Lai slapped her hard on the butt but kept walking:
"You don't have to think about him. He is a living saint. Not to mention that he is a knight now, even when he was a soldier, he would never look at you twice!"
With that said, he went upstairs amidst the woman's screams.
There was no words for the night, just singing that didn't make any sense.
Early the next morning, the woman woke up from her sleep, sat up from the bed, and sighed.
If not forced by life, who would do this kind of business?
And as a native of Lai Gaoqiang, she had spent most of the day yesterday listening to the Eagle Army's praise of the Eagle Leader and their disparagement of Lai Gaoqiang, and she felt somewhat dissatisfied.
Said that girls there can go out to work and work seriously!
He also said that as long as everyone is willing to work, everyone can have bread and everyone can eat meat.
It's like a mythical paradise.
Who would believe it?
She reached out to grab the headscarf on the bedside table, ready to wash up first, but her fingers touched a few hard and cold things.
"Hey, this is...?" The woman turned her head and looked without blinking.
It was a pile of coins. I counted them carefully in my hand. There were 8 copper plates in total.
Although it was money from the Keynes Empire, it could still be circulated here, and the food she bought was enough for her to live for two or three days.
A soldier will give you money when he comes to play with women! ?
There is no such thing as a good thing in a dream!
"Could it be that what they said about the Eagle Territory is... true?"
