Chapter 682: Surrender
Not long after Fang Yuan and his party entered the castle, the Frey family's army suddenly appeared and surrounded the entire castle.
"Now... the wolf is really here!"
Fang Yuan stood on top of the wall, looking at the army in the distance.
Under the emerald green military flag, Sir Frey's army broke through a thousand people, and even engulfed a large number of farmers with pitchforks, guarding all the main roads up the mountain.
"Is this...preparing to drive out the people and attack the city?"
Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan couldn't help shaking his head.
Sir Frey's move was indeed quite vicious, because the servants he used were all young men from the baron's direct command!
At this time, the hundreds of troops who had just lost the battle in the castle and had low morale could not be consumed for long.
Even, no matter which side died, it didn't matter to Sir Frey.
"A baron's castle was under siege, but the nearby nobles did not respond. It seems that the baron has mastered righteousness, Frey has mastered strength, and the other lords, have they all chosen to sit on the sidelines?"
This is indeed not good news for the baron, because it means that there will be no more reinforcements.
"So it seems... the office is also a broken ship, Grand Duke Stan is almost in a state of distress, right?"
Fang Yuan sneered silently in his heart.
At this moment, a cavalryman rushed out from the camp of Frey's army, came under the castle, and shouted loudly:
"Sir Frey is a benevolent person. As long as Baron Shawshank admits his mistake and signs a letter of repentance, he promises not to pursue the matter any further!"
"Otherwise, we will break this castle! What happens at that time is something that no one wants to see!"
"Even if the baron is determined to resist, if other soldiers and knights choose to surrender, Sir Frey will never pursue it, and will guarantee your wealth, fiefdom and other rights!"
...
"Hmph, protect our fiefdom and wealth!"
Gray Knight didn't know when he came to the side, his face was ugly: "Who does he think he is? Your lord baron? He's just a mere knight like us, dare to do that..."
"In fact, Knight Frey's strength is already at the baron's normal level... If the office is soft this time, the canonization order may come down soon!"
Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "The victor dominates everything, it's that simple!"
"Sir Loon... you wouldn't..."
Gray's gaze instantly became cold and a little wary.
"Of course... As a noble knight, it is a shame to accept the forgiveness of another knight! So I will fight the other party to the end!"
Fang Yuan spoke generously and honestly.
In fact, he was just following the rules of the nobles' game.
The ruling power in this world is still nobles and priests.
Among the nobles, if they want not to be regarded as nouveau riche, they must pay attention to the background and connotation!
For someone like Frey, no matter how strong the army is, so what? Haven't they received unanimous contempt and cold reception?
Even if he can win this time and even be canonized as a baron, I am afraid that he will still be resisted by the aristocratic circle in the future. Unless everything is broken, it cannot be changed.
Because in the eyes of all the nobles, he is 'the guy who broke the rules'!
On the contrary, Baron Shawshank has a pedigree and a long history of orthodoxy.
Sometimes, righteousness is not worth a penny, and sometimes it is as important as Mount Tai!
"Even... Even if the Kingdom of Nott can win, I'm afraid they won't treat such a guy too much... Just like in the ancient times in the past, the guy who turned his back on the master often didn't have a good end. Instead, he was a loyal minister, even if it was an enemy Loyal ministers will also be praised and honored, after all, it is to establish values!"
In the Munger world, it is the values of the aristocracy that prevail.
It is difficult for Frey, who is like an upstart, to really squeeze into this circle within a few generations!
Therefore, Fang Yuan would not choose the other party at all.
Although, if it weren't for his well-known inheritance, his means of starting a business might be similar to the other party's!
"Knight of Rune..."
Gray was deeply moved.
As the baron's subordinate, even he was shaken for a moment just now, and now he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his selfish thoughts.
"Actually... I think we can still surrender!"
Fang Yuan blinked suddenly.
"You mean... a false surrender?!"
Gray's expression changed: "Do you still want to continue the war?"
"Of course, how can you become a defeated for no reason? There are still two hundred soldiers in this castle, plus you and my followers, and all the servants, it's enough for a fight!"
Fang Yuan clenched his fist: "If you want to turn defeat into victory, this is your last chance!"
"This... I need to inform the Baron!"
Gray Knight was a little moved, and then said in a deep voice.
"Of course... such an important matter must be decided by the baron!"
In fact, Fang Yuan was 80% sure about the Baron's choice, and the other party would agree with him.
Because the baron at this time has nothing to lose.
...
At night, the moonlight is shining, and it is as calm as water.
Sir Frey approached the castle in the dark with a group of elite cavalry and soldiers.
"What do you think is the possibility of this?"
He held a letter in his hand, with a hesitant expression on his face.
"According to common sense, Sir, the conditions you gave are tolerant enough. Even if the knight is tempted, it is not impossible!"
Beside Sir Frey, Bishop Daniel spoke slowly.
Although the monarch and vassals in this era also have the relationship between the monarch and the ministers, they are definitely not as absolute and close as the Eastern Dynasty in Fang Yuan's previous life, but they contain each other's rights and obligations.
There will never be a case where the king wants the minister to die and the minister has to die.
The order of the lord is absurd, the vassal refuses to obey, and the two sides pull up the army to fight, but it is more common.
Even the losers will not be deprived of everything, but will retain the last hope of making a comeback. This is the benevolence of the nobles, and it is also the rule of the game in their circle-of course, it is only for the nobles.
At this time, the situation has reached the end of the mountain, and it seems reasonable for a knight to betray Baron Shawshank.
"I feel the same way!"
Knight Frey was a little fiery in his heart, as if he had seen the moment when he occupied the Baron's castle.
The night was dark, even if the torches were lit on the castle, the heavy sleepiness could not be dispelled.
In the silence, Frey waved his hand, and a thief stepped forward, imitating the sound of a mouse, and called three times regularly, which was the agreed signal.
bang!
Not long after, there seemed to be a slight commotion on the city wall, and immediately, the gate of the castle was slowly opened.
"Bishop...do you see?"
Looking at the black hole-like gate of the castle, Sir Frey hesitated again, and looked at Daniel for help: "Great God of Death, can you guide me?"
"Sir Frey, we are God's servants, we can only obey God's will, God is high above, how can we pay attention to such a small matter?"
Bishop Daniel immediately reprimanded him displeasedly.
If Hess came, even if it was just a wisp of will, there would be no way to hide what tricks the enemies in the castle were playing.
However, pastors and priests are just servants of the gods, how could they ask the gods to do things for them in turn? If it was changed to the Holy Son or the Pope, maybe there is still some hope, he is purely dreaming.
However, as a supporter of the Church of Death, some requirements of Sir Frey must still be met.
Therefore, Daniel closed his eyes, and there was an instant feedback:
"I feel the breath of death! Inside the castle, someone should have returned to my Lord's return!"
"So, the fire is not real?!"
Frey's eyes brightened, and he no longer hesitated: "Rush in!"
Swish la la!
A large number of soldiers, with excitement and desire to get rich, or the purest desire to destroy, maintained amazing discipline and filed in.
Soon, a signal of safety came from the top of the city.
Seeing this scene, Frey chuckled lightly, rode his horse, and rushed into the castle.
However, what he didn't know was that just after he rushed into the gate of the castle, Fang Yuan, who was watching secretly, immediately ordered: "The action begins!"
Rumble!
A violent explosion emerged, and a large group of flames filled the gate of the castle. The surrounding soldiers were immediately torn apart by the storm, or were simply blown away, and passed out in mid-air.
"This is... a trap!"
A layer of magical light emerged from Bishop Daniel's body, protecting him from the damage, but he saw dully that the original gate of the city had been completely buried by rubble, turning into a moat separating the inside and the outside!
"kill!"
"Kill all the intruders!"
Waves of shouts emerged from all directions.
At this time, Frey's side had no numerical advantage, and fell into a well-arranged trap. Immediately, many people were shot and killed by a burst of arrows, and the team completely fell apart.
"The halo of natural disasters, open!"
Two halos emerged from Fang Yuan's body, interlacing and releasing light covering the battlefield.
The advancement of a Scourge knight requires necromancers and resentment, coupled with the talent of a dreamer, it is naturally a piece of cake to create a false appearance and hide it from a small priest.
"Scary Knight!"
Bishop Daniel looked at the invincible Fang Yuan who rushed into the crowd, but his expression was very strange: "Lu En, we meet again... You really gave me a big surprise at this time!"
...
While the sky was boiling outside, deep in the castle, inside the baron's bedroom.
There was the sound of weeping, and the baroness, Timo, and Tanya were all there, looking at the baron on the hospital bed.
At this moment, he had already reached the end of his life.
"My dear... listen, the plan has succeeded!"
The Baroness looked at Baron Shawshank, and saw that his eyes were wide open, paying attention to the movement around him, she couldn't help but stepped forward and spoke softly.
"very good……"
Baron Shawshank pointed at Timo with difficulty: "I will leave everything to you, and Tanya, you must help your brother..."
After saying the will, he looked in the direction of the noise; his face was full of pity and unwillingness, but he couldn't say anything after all, his arms fell limply on the mattress...
