Chapter 342： The spoils are yours

Narant did not hold the count's favor towards him and leaned on the long table, and chose to sit casually on the wooden chairs a few rows behind with Boris.

Seeing Narant's actions, Bernard nodded with satisfaction, obviously praising Narant's sensibleness.

Although Narant sat on the long table, no one dared to say anything, but it would definitely make some old-fashioned nobles feel unhappy. After all, the long table was full of senior aristocrats like Andrew.

In fact, Stella has been paying attention to Narant's actions from the corner of her eye. Although she still looks cold on the surface, she is still slightly surprised by Nalant's actions.

"I called you here today because there were a lot of casualties in the Rangers last night." Bernard didn't hesitate. After the vassals were settled, he immediately began to get to the point.

And what he said was exactly as Boris had guessed. It was precisely because of the loss of the Rangers last night that he was ready to dispatch a group of vassals to fight.

When all the nobles heard that the Northern Principality was so insidious, they even sent out the knights to kill the rangers of the Onyx Principality at night.

"Lord Count, what are you going to tell us to do?" After listening to Narant's cheap father Andrew, he was the first to ask.

His father is rough, and he is not very good at making money or teaching children.

But when it comes to fighting, it is definitely a brave existence, so Andrew, an upright and heroic vassal, is most relied on by Bernard, and even he does not favor his own younger brother.

"Well, what His Majesty means this time is that you vassals don't move, but send your children out." Bernard nodded and began to talk about the arrangement, "According to the report from the rangers last night, the northern Although the Principality sent title knights to participate last night, few of them are above the silver knights, most of them are bronze knights."

"Lord Count, will this be too risky?" After hearing this, the nobles immediately questioned.

If you let them play by themselves, there is nothing to say.

But to let their children play, that's somewhat worrying.

After all, the children who brought Qiu Zheng are their heirs, and the purpose is to make them adapt to the atmosphere of this kind of war, and they don't need to take risks now to be on their own.

"His Royal Highness the King and several counts have discussed this matter. For the sake of safety, you can send one of your own vassals to accompany you, while you still stay in the army to recharge your batteries!" Bernard Open your mouth softly.

"Actually, there is one thing I haven't told you yet. I just got the permission of His Majesty the King this morning, so I can tell you now!"

"That is, His Majesty the King has investigated and learned that the Northern Principality suffered from the disaster last winter." Next, Bernard began to talk about the autumn expedition plan made by the King when he was in the palace a few days ago.

"So, His Majesty's meaning is that if it is possible, then two new counties will be developed on the land of the Northern Principality, and this year's autumn expedition is likely to be the most glorious one in recent decades. Battle!"

"Open up a new territory?" The nobles were instantly attracted by Bernard's words, and their eyes were all gleaming.

Having new territories to open up means being profitable.

At that time, two earl-sized territories have been captured. As long as the credit is sufficient, the newly acquired territory will be enriched from top to bottom.

Of course, this pioneering territory is too far away. Except for the king, the nobles cannot get involved. After all, it is impossible to take an enclave, which is not realistic.

But the enclave is not good, but the territory in the duchy can be used as a reward.

For example, if the Tulip family deserves enough credit, the king will confer a territory near the Tulip to the Tulip family.

Correspondingly, the Tulip Family has obtained a new territory, and which vassal under his command has the credit, Bernard will cut a canonization reward in the adjacent vicinity.

In this way, the king has obtained a new development order, and the nobles below can also obtain new territories, which is a great joy!

"Yes, this new territory development is His Majesty's autumn war plan this year. Therefore, all of you vassals need to keep their spirits up, and then make their contributions when they truly enter the territory of the Northern Principality!"

"In addition, His Majesty the King has also ordered this time, saying that letting your children play is not a risk for nothing. Any spoils of war they capture this time belong to individuals, whether it is a warhorse or armor!"

This time, the king was very generous in order to achieve the expected autumn expedition plan.

After all, compared to the territory, these rewards are just a drizzle.

Whoa!

"All the spoils belong to us?" As Bernard's voice fell, the nobles were immediately surprised.

"That's right, but the premise is that your heirs kill the enemy yourself. If it is the enemy that you kill with the Rangers, you still need to report it according to military merit!" Bernard nodded.

"His grandmother's, His Majesty the King is too generous this year!" Boris also exclaimed in surprise at this time.

All the materials seized on the battlefield in previous years need to be turned in uniformly and distributed after the war.

First, the king gets 50%, the big counts and nobles get 30%, and the small nobles can only get about 1.5%.

And half of the extra is used to reward nobles or soldiers with outstanding meritorious deeds.

Although this regulation can only be used at the current stage, if the offspring are powerful enough to kill a few more ordinary rangers, the horses they will get are not small fortune.

In particular, the Northern Principality has a rich source of war horses. In previous years, even the rangers used real war horses Boris, don't be too happy, do you have any children? "At this moment, Narant interjected.

Boris: ""

Boris almost lost his temper.

Yes, he has no heirs. Even if the king is generous this time, it has nothing to do with him.

Boris's dream was ruthlessly shattered, and he was a little unwilling. He clenched his fist and finally summoned his courage, "Lord Count!"

"Boris, what do you want to say?"

"Lord Count, Narant and I have no children, but we also want to participate!"

Narant: ""

"Well, you young vassals without heirs, if you really want to participate, then let's do it together!" Bernard was not stubborn.

He is very aware of the virtues of these young vassals, except for Narant and several second sons who participated in the competition, such as Boris, who currently only know how to eat, drink and enjoy.

When the time comes to really enter the Northern Principality, I don't expect them to play much role, and now it's time for them to play against the enemy's rangers.

"Yes, thank you Lord Earl" Boris was overjoyed, and immediately sat down and patted Narant on the shoulder.

"Okay, then this matter is settled like this, you all go back immediately to gather your own children, and let them come to me to gather, and they will be distributed uniformly later!"

"Yes, Lord Earl!" After speaking, the nobles got up and left the tent.

"Lord Count!" Narant did not leave immediately, but came to Bernard.

"Narant, what's the matter with you?"

"Lord Count, can I take my own subordinates out of the camp later? The more than 20 subordinates I brought have war horses, but their equestrian skills are not particularly skilled. I want them to take advantage of this situation. The next opportunity is just to exercise more!"
