Chapter 493 War 3
Hearing the coachman’s plea, the three soldiers holding long swords did not show the slightest expression.
They just looked at each other, and the oldest one stepped towards the coachman who was kneeling on the ground and Liszt who was standing next to him.
This man is tall and strong, wearing chain mail, with a thick beard, sunken eye sockets and piercing eyes. He looks like a powerful warrior.
As he approached the coachman and Liszt, he said slowly: "Two gentlemen, please don't be nervous. The three of us just happened to pass by this place."
But Liszt instinctively felt that the man's whole body was tensing up, as if he was preparing for an attack. He felt like a leopard about to charge towards its prey.
Just when the situation felt like it was going to take a turn for the worse, Liszt made an immediate decision, raised his voice and risked being discovered by the church troops outside Linzi and shouted:
"I am Aldo The special envoy of the lord, Count Paul Greyman!”
Lord! count!
These two words suddenly shocked the bearded man who was about to take action - in Liszt's opinion -.
He seemed to start to hesitate. Seeing his hesitation, a companion said viciously: "Raja, no one knows that we passed here anyway?"
The companion glanced at Liszt and said, "Except for these few people "
"Shut up, idiot!"
The bearded man named Raja gave his companions a fierce look. These guys have never experienced the pain of being retaliated by a noble. What kind of confidant does this person look like at first glance?
Liszt's heart was beating wildly. From the conversation between the two, he could almost conclude that the bearded man was going to kill him and the coachman.
He tried hard to slow down his heart and keep his face calm - even he began to admire his strong will.
“I was originally ordered by Count Greyman to go to Jebu to negotiate a business deal for his family, but I encountered rebels on the way out.”
He “wasn’t in a hurry. He slowly took out a roll of parchment from his arms and said, "This is my voucher! If you don't believe it, you can read the content on it."
Then he handed the parchment coupon to the bearded warrior. .
That was indeed a piece of identification. It was modeled after the passport of Paul's previous life. The content on it was to ask the local ruler to facilitate merchants from the northwest bay. There was also a pattern printed on it. Lehmann family coat of arms.
Of course, this world does not yet have the international system of the previous life. The current main function of this thing is to prove that the holder is from the Northwest Gulf. Whether the local ruler is willing to sell it to Paul depends entirely on his mood.
Liszt was betting on whether the bearded warrior and his companions could read or not, and whether... he could scare them with a noble heraldry.
Actually, he didn't have much hope. The companions of the bearded warrior just now didn't seem to be afraid of killing a noble envoy - without others knowing. If there wasn't a glimmer of hope supporting him, Liszt would have collapsed on the ground long ago.
"The decoration around this coat of arms is indeed the style of the Aldo noble! He is really a messenger."
The bearded warrior is "well-informed" and recognizes the noble coat of arms Chapter, but Liszt was right in his bet. He didn't know the words and didn't see the content on the parchment.
So simple! Liszt sighed in his heart.
"I've heard of Paul Gleiman's name."
The bearded warrior said.
"Oh? Have you heard of my lord?"
"Yes, two years ago, I was an adventurer making a living in Nisborg. I heard from my colleagues that it was The warriors under Count Grayman rescued the wife and sister of the Archduke of Eton from the wolf plague. ”
"Ah? Really."
This is the first time Liszt has heard of this.
"Excuse me, your name?" "Friedrich Liszt, just call me Liszt."
"Okay, Lord Liszt , we...we really just happened to pass by here...as you can see, we..."
The bearded warrior's tense body relaxed, but he began to hesitate when speaking.
"Okay, I know who you are. Please rest assured that I will not tell nonsense. I swear to my lord and my heavenly father."
Liszt raised his hand The right hand said solemnly.
In fact, judging from the other party's attire, these three should be Jebu's deserters.
The face of the bearded warrior turned slightly red, "This is a joke, sir, but... we just don't want to become prisoners and then slaves in a battle that is bound to be lost."
His face turned to resentment again, "The lord of Jebu, that coward, when he learned that the church army appeared outside the city, he used the lame excuse of hunting to run away, leaving behind all the people in the city and those who were still loyal to him. His army."
"When I learned the news, I immediately felt that the oath I had made was worthless, so I led the other two brothers away."< br>
When he finished saying this, the warrior named Raja spat hard on the ground.
"Well...I understand your mood at that time. Of course, in my opinion, your behavior is completely moral. After all, that lord violated the contract first."
Li Si What else could Te say, of course, he would say it by stroking the opponent's hair.
Just when he wanted to ask himself, the coachman and his wife when they could leave, the soldier named Raja suddenly asked: "Sir, where is your guard?"
Guard? Where do I have any guards?
Liszt's face immediately turned into a trace of sadness, without showing any trace of surprise or panic.
"In order to protect me, alas... not everyone is as reasonable as Mr. Raja. I must tell the Earl when I go back and ask him for revenge."
Sad His expression immediately turned into a fierce one.
"Then..."
The Raja made a proposal that surprised Liszt:
"If you lack guards, you can hire three of us to provide you with security. ”
“Huh? ”
……
In the autumn of 1995 in the Holy Calendar, the War of the Corner Bay finally broke out. The Church of the Corner Bay labeled the coastal countries as heretics on the grounds of blasphemy and assassinating high-level members of the Holy See, and organized a skitarii army based mainly on the inland country of Collins. Announced a crusade against coastal countries and vowed to bring the faith there back on track.
The coastal countries responded tit-for-tat, publicly stating that only the rising new sects could represent the Lord of Light, and organized a new religious army led by the Corner Bay Alliance to compete with the Guardian Army of the Corner Bay Church.
Having long foreseen the inevitability of war, the well-prepared Corner Bay Alliance organized a well-equipped and powerful army of 15,000 men within a month after the assassination. He was stationed at the border to prevent the invasion of the church's army, and planned to join the armies of the coastal allies and continue to attack the church's territory, all the way to Corinth.
However, what no one expected was that the Skitarii would declare war without declaring a war, brazenly invading several small neutral countries located in the northern part of the Horn Bay, and extending their tentacles into the original territory through the territories of these countries. The northern coastal countries that are not bordering - this is also the territory of the Protestant Army.
These countries located on the northern coast, because they are not close to the Skitarii, did little defense before the war, and some of the country's troops have already set off to join the forces of the Corner Bay Alliance, facing the Skitarii. The army's "borrowed" attack suddenly fell into a dangerous situation.
The war in Corner Bay became confusing from the beginning.
