Chapter 127: tit for tat

"There is such a thing? Narant, why didn't you tell the count!" Boris immediately widened his eyes when he heard this.

It is better to say something about the exploitation of serfs. Although it looks ugly, as long as the nobles in the vicinity know that Quint is a mean and bitter noble, it is not surprising.

It is unbearable to violate the buffer zone, build a camp to garrison the army, and make rude words to the 'original owner' of the buffer zone.

"After all, I am participating in the competition. If I ask for help to the Count as soon as I arrive in the Storm Territory, I am worried that it will leave a bad impression on the Count!"

"So, I thought I'd wait for a while to report to the Count. However, it seems that my luck is good. I didn't know who it was some time ago, but it directly destroyed Quint's camp!"

Narant found a suitable excuse to explain.

After listening to Boris, he had no doubts. This is indeed normal. After all, everything is based on competitions.

Right now, the two returned to the castle while chatting!

……

"Xili!"

At the same time, Quint was also on the way back to White Salt Town, riding on the somewhat overwhelmed horse, Quint's expression was a little gloomy.

After thinking for a long time, he finally greeted a subordinate beside him.

"Sir, the little one is here!"

"You now contact Baron Nasher, Baron Leander, and Baron Carr, and tell them that I need their help, so that they can send fifty heavily armed guards to Gwent Land before tomorrow morning! "

"This... my lord, if the Count knows about it, I'm afraid it's not good!"

As the second son of the earl, if there is no authorization from the earl, Quint directly contacts the vassal to transfer troops, and his brother will probably use it as a source of attack.

After all, those barons are his father's vassals. Since Quint can order once, what if he wants to rebel in the future?

"You don't have to worry about this, just follow my orders! My father went to the capital during this period of time, and you tell the three barons to be quiet, and no one will find out about this!"

"Yes, my lord!" Although the guard wanted to say something after hearing this, he finally swallowed it when he saw that Quint's expression was not good.

Although he was authorized by Quint's mother to assist Quint, in general, he only had the right to report to Quint's mother, but did not have the right to command Quint.

"If you want to pull Boris up to show prestige in front of me, you don't even care what your identity is, but you're just the second son of a baron!" After his subordinates left, Quint secretly hated in his heart.

At this time, he asked the guards to go to the three barons to borrow soldiers, just to retaliate.

Since Narant thought that with a mere baron ally, he could show off his power, he also needed to teach Narant a good lesson.

Of course, with Quint's strength, there was no need to borrow soldiers, but after this period of 'spending', and Charlie and his party have not returned, the actual number of guards on his territory at this time was only 30. That's it.

Fortunately, his mother has also secretly managed the support of many nobles for him over the years. It is only a matter of saying that he wants to transfer troops. Anyway, he is not preparing for a real war.

……

Narant didn't know that Quint had already spent his time with him, so he sent someone to borrow troops to scare him.

Of course, Narant would be happier if he knew, because his last few words were to stimulate Quint and let him come to the border in person tomorrow, so that the gift he prepared for Quint would be better. Effect.

Time turned to the next morning again.

After a day's rest, the more than 80 guards that Boris brought were all full of energy.

"Narant, how do we conduct the exercise today?"

After eating a hearty breakfast with Narant and walking out of the castle, Boris looked at his more than eighty fully armed guards below the gentle slope, and opened his mouth to Narant.

"Boris, don't worry, I have already planned today's exercise. In the morning, we will conduct the exercise at the site of Maiye Village, and in the afternoon, we will go to the site at the edge of the blazing forest to conduct the exercise!"

Narant looked at Boris' 80 guards and laughed.

Of course, he was so happy because he felt that the rewards he gave were worthwhile, otherwise Boris would definitely not have brought so many subordinates.

"Okay, let's see what Narant has arranged for you later!" Boris nodded without thinking much.

Afterwards, Narant took all the guards under him out of the nest and went to Maiye Village with Boris's men.

When they arrived at the site of Maiye Village, Catherine was already waiting here with all the barbarians.

"I have seen the Lord!"

"I have seen the Lord!"

Catherine and Raymond quickly came to Narant to greet him.

"Yeah!" Nalanda nodded, then looked at Raymond, "Raymond, in order to cooperate with today's exercise, I've worked hard for you all!"

"Lord Lord, since we have become your subjects, we should do things according to your instructions!"

The barbarians are good at this. As long as they make their own decisions, they seldom go back on their decisions, especially Raymond. The treatment in Maiye Village these two days has been pretty good.

Except for dozens of clansmen who are called to work in the square every day, everyone else has a free food supply.

Moreover, even those working clansmen have wages, just like other ordinary villagers in Maiye Village.

This made his original worries go away completely, and he felt that it would be good to be a territorial citizen in this Storm Territory. As long as he brought his wife and children from the grassland, he would be able to live a stable life in the future.

"Very well, that Raymond, you can arrange your clansmen in the arrow tower field now!"

Narant's exercise in Maiye Village today is indeed an exercise It's just that this exercise is prepared for the arrival of dark creatures at night.

At the moment, Narant let all the barbarians enter the position of the arrow tower, and at the same time let Vivian and the longbowmen also board the arrow tower.

"Lord Boris, let's start the exercise now! However, we are on the offensive side, while the barbarians and my longbowmen are on the defensive side."

"The attacker?" Boris was stunned for a moment. He saw that Narant had built so many arrow towers, and he thought that his guards would defend him, and then let the barbarians attack.

"Yes, Boris, in my opinion, the best defense is offense!" Narant replied affirmatively.

"The best defense is to attack? It seems to make sense!" Boris felt full of style when he heard Narant's words, and nodded in response.

In fact, this time he brought troops here just to increase intimacy with Narant. As for who he would really cooperate with to attack in the future, he never thought about it.

In his opinion, Narant and Quint are basically incapable of fighting.

Then, the whole exercise started according to Narant's instructions.

Whether it was a barbarian or a guard in the field, they were all given a wooden stick as thick as a wrist.

The sword has no eyes, and Narant doesn't want to have problems at this juncture.

And even if the stick is knocked in the melee, it's just an injury.

"Prepare to attack!" Both the guards and the barbarians got the sticks, and the two sides lined up. Narant and Boris stood on the side and gave an order directly.

"Kill!" With their own adults personally supervising, even with wooden sticks, the guards cheered up and shouted.

In an instant, nearly a hundred heavily armed guards rushed towards the arrow tower site.
