Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

The surrender process went smoothly. Those knights who surrendered did not even need to collect their armor and horses. They could just arrange for them and their attendants to live in the villa in Dragon Claw Town to entertain guests. In this case, let alone resist, they will not run away until the ransom is paid, and no one will bring shame to the family honor.

After the soldiers confiscated their weapons, they were imprisoned in the barracks of Stewart Castle. After all, the dungeon could not hold nearly a thousand people, so only a team of guards was needed. The previous group of prisoners of war have now become formal soldiers and been granted additional fields. This group of people are still thinking about working hard and getting paid well in the future.

All the troops in the Earl of Rennes surrendered, not even a single soldier ran away. This was Kristine's intention in letting them all come over in the first place. After crossing the bridge, you won't be able to escape even if you want to.

This also means that the people in the Rennes Territory did not know the news of the defeat and death of the Earl of Rennes at all, so when the knights of the Stewart Baron led soldiers to attack the Earl of Rennes and occupied the village, no one reacted.

According to the minimum standard for canonizing nobles in this continent, knights and lords must have at least one village. In addition to the village where they live, the village here also includes a large area of ​​surrounding territory.

A baron must have at least five villages and one town, and the villages entrusted to knights will also be counted. There is no requirement to have a castle, but it will basically be built.

A viscount must have at least fifteen villages and three towns, and a castle is a must.

An earl must have at least thirty villages, six towns, and a city with a permanent population of more than ten thousand people, and an earl is also the largest real noble in a county.

The whole county of Brittany had an earl, a viscount, four barons, and some lords to whom no one belonged. The purpose of introducing these is to explain that the Earl of Rennes occupied two-fifths of the entire county. To occupy all the villages and towns would not only require a large number of soldiers, but also take several days.

For this reason, Christine mobilized almost all the militiamen in the territory to gather the number of soldiers to occupy the villages and towns, and this could only ensure that ten people were left in each village and twenty people in each town. You must know that it is not just the villages managed by Earl Ren, but also the fiefdom villages of the knights.

Fortunately, the occupation of villages and towns on the mainland is only symbolic. The occupying troops are like guests in the village. The villagers not only do not resist but also entertain them warmly. Because in the end, the ownership of the village depends on the agreement between the nobles. If it is assigned to the other party, everyone will be under the jurisdiction of the same lord.

Besides, there is no benefit in resisting in a world where personal force is respected. Ten occupying troops are nothing to a village of more than a thousand people. But what if you kill the occupying troops? Can all the villagers run away? If you don't run away, the other side can bring in a few knights to knock down the village. At that time, it will be beheading, not just one unlucky person out of ten, but one household out of ten and beheaded.

It is common for noble wars to last for a month or two, months or even years. Therefore, the people in the city did not find it strange that there was no news from Count Rennes for a week.

But when the soldiers guarding the city reported that they saw the flag of Baron Stewart outside the city, everyone felt that something was wrong.

At this time, some Yanzu may be surprised. It has been so long, and all the villages and towns in the Earl of Wren have been occupied by people from the Baron of Stewart. Has no one gone to tell the people of the Wren family in the city?

Not really.

The residents of each village, the merchants coming and going, and the adventurers all thought that the war was a matter between nobles and that it had nothing to do with them.

It is true that you can get a reward for reporting the information, but the problem is that if Baron Stewart wins in the end, he will not be able to escape if he finds out who reported the information. At that time, it will be a matter of killing the entire clan. Who dares to risk this? risk?

Although Count Rennes took away all the 200 city guards when he led the expedition, he recruited another 200 militiamen as guards, and even left four knights. But the problem is that with troops approaching the city, it is impossible for these people to defend the castle.

Yes, everyone in the Rennes family did not even think about defending the city but retreated into the castle. The city wall is only six meters high and three meters thick. It was built to protect against wild beasts, but it cannot stop knights and soldiers. Besides, the city is so big that you can crawl in anywhere you want.

When the soldiers of Baron Stewart entered Rennes City, priests, residents, businessmen, professionals, etc. came to watch one after another, as if this war had nothing to do with them, but in fact it really had nothing to do with them.

Rennes Castle is located in the center of the city. Not only is it built magnificently and solidly, but it is also surrounded by a ten-meter-wide moat that brings in the running water of the river. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

With the strength of Baron Stewart's three knights and more than 400 soldiers, they can't defeat them even if they fight for several years. Moreover, the opponent has four knights who may be killed if they are not careful.

However, with Christine, a fifth-level mage, the people of the Wren family were thinking about how to surrender gracefully.

Earl Renn left with many knights, a master-level mage and several mid-level mage, but now he was pushed to the door of his house. He must have lost, and he lost a lot. No one is a fool. Can a castle be useful in this situation? If you continue to fight, you will only lose your life.

Lane family manor, drawing room.

The knights and officials of Christian and Stuart Baron were sitting on one side, and the knights and officials headed by Miledere Renn, the eldest son of Count Rennes, were sitting on the other side. In the middle was Bishop Seleman, the God of Order. ·Clos and several priests.

Priests of various churches and mages' guilds, including Bishop Seleman, were extremely shocked after hearing the news that Earl Renne and Master Gottfried were both defeated and killed.

Everyone knows how difficult it is for a master mage to be killed. How can one say that he is dead? However, Baron Stewart, who witnessed the incident, does not want to say that there is nothing others can do, because as long as evil means are not used, the church has no power. Ask.

The so-called negotiation is an honorable surrender for the Wren family. According to the aristocratic rules, except for the property in the castle, the entire Wren Territory is Christine's spoils.

For the Wren family, they have been living in a comfortable manor for hundreds of years, and their wealth is also here. And because Stuart led the army to attack too quickly and too suddenly, the property in the manor had not had time to be transported into the castle. In this case, how could there be money to redeem the villages and towns in the territory.

So the final agreement reached was: Christine paid the Wren family 100,000 gold coins, and all the knights loyal to the Wren family except Pascal Wren, the remaining 22 knights changed their allegiance to the Stewart family.

It is absolutely impossible for a knight to betray the lord, but if it is initiated by the feudal lord, it doesn't matter. Besides, without the territory, Earl Rennes cannot afford to support so many knights.

The money will be paid with part of the Rennes family's treasures. After all the agreements are signed, the Rennes family will leave. Many great nobles have fiefdoms in other counties or even other countries. The Wren family has two villages in Picardy County.
