Chapter 60 Idiots are everywhere
Laurence Territory.
Renee Black, the wife of Baron Pape Lawrence, was really panicking at this moment.
Her husband, Baron Pape Lawrence, led a large number of elites from the territory to attack Eagle Territory, but never came back. She had nothing to worry about, after all, the strength of their Lawrence Territory was the strongest in the entire Maine Valley, and she didn't think there would be any accidents.
However, the next morning, the letter from Eagle Territory made him completely unable to calm down.
"Fuck, my God, this is impossible!"
Renee Black said with some disbelief.
"Ms. Renee Black, nothing is impossible. Baron Pape Lawrence has been captured by the adults. Please collect the ransom as soon as possible, otherwise the adults can't guarantee the safety of the baron."
The knight smiled lightly and then turned and left.
But the knight left, and the letter sent by Eagle Territory caused an uproar.
The entire Lawrence Territory was restless.
In the castle.
"Crazy!"
"They are simply crazy!"
"Why don't you go and rob them!"
"This is impossible!"
In a panic, Renee Black quickly looked at the letter.
However, when the content appeared, Renee Black couldn't help but widen her eyes, and anger inevitably spread out.
She, what did she see.
Pape Lawrence wanted 3,000 gold coins, Lawrence 1,000 gold coins, 500 gold coins for each official knight, 100 gold coins for each trainee knight, and 3,000 serfs and 2,000 gold coins for war compensation.
This is simply the goddess of life playing a joke on her.
If you count it, the entire Lawrence Castle will probably be sold to the Eagle Territory.
"Mother!"
"This is indeed impossible!"
"This is too much, the Eagle Territory has no intention of releasing Father."
Opal Lawrence next to him also looked at the letter, but after reading it, his eyes lit up all of a sudden.
It's not anger.
But seeing an opportunity.
That's right, it's an opportunity.
As the second son of the baron, he had no right to inherit the territory, especially under the premise that his knight talent was far inferior to his elder brother.
Even if the current baroness was his mother, not Lawrence's mother, the result was the same.
Originally, he had no way.
But at this moment, he seemed to see hope.
As long as his father and elder brother could not come back, then the inheritance of the territory seemed to be only his.
This time, he was really moved.
"This, this!"
Renee Black heard her son's words and became more and more flustered. She was not from a noble family, but a merchant's daughter. Because Pape Lawrence's first wife died unexpectedly, she had the opportunity to take the throne. Faced with this situation, she had no idea what to do.
"Mother, since they have no sincerity, why should we pay the ransom? It's probably worth tens of thousands of gold coins."
Opal Lawrence pretended to be indignant.
"But your father."
Renee Black said subconsciously.
"Father may not be alive!"
"And mother, if father and elder brother come back, I will not be able to inherit the territory."
"Maybe this is our chance."
Oper Lawrence's eyes flickered, he pursed his lips, and spoke slowly.
"You!"
Renee Black was startled, and looked at her son with shock.
After being shocked, Renee Black's heart began to beat violently.
As her son said, this really seemed to be an opportunity.
But the excitement only lasted for a moment and was soon suppressed.
"No, without your father, a great knight, the territory will soon fall into turmoil, and your father has taken away a large number of knights. Relying on the current strength of the territory, it cannot be defended, and it may even be annexed by other Lawrence families."
Renee Black was not overwhelmed by excitement, he soon discovered the problem.
That is strength.
They are just the descendants of merchants, they are not strong enough, and they can't defend it.
"Mother, you seem to have forgotten that the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce can provide protection. It only takes one thousand gold coins to hire a great knight to guard for a year. Now, instead of giving so many gold coins to the Eagle Territory, it is better to give them to the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce. At least the lord will not be the eldest brother."
Oper spoke with twinkling eyes.
At this moment, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
One thousand gold coins can hire a great knight for a year. He only needs to take out three thousand gold coins to hire for three years, plus his own training. With the power of Lawrence Territory, it will be able to restore its original strength in about three years.
And he always felt that his strength could not keep up, that was because his father gave all the resources to his eldest brother. If he could get a lot of resources, he might be able to quickly break through to the official knight, or even break through to the great knight, then the entire territory would not have any problems.
Even at this moment, he even had a dangerous idea in his mind.
"This!"
Hearing her son's words, Renee Black's eyes lit up.
She has always been worried about the issue of inheritance of the territory.
Once Lawrence inherits the title, their fate can be imagined.
The best outcome is to give them a sum of gold coins and kick them out.
She was used to being a baroness, so she didn't want to face this kind of situation.
This time seemed to be an opportunity.
"Mother, in order to avoid accidents, we can say that Eagle Territory has a large mineral vein. What about the iron ore? As long as we spread the news and let Eagle Territory know that we spread it."
"Then there will be no accidents."
Renee Black was excited, and Opal spoke again.
The words he said made Renee Black's scalp numb, and his figure stood up all of a sudden.
"Oper, you!"
Renee Black looked at his son with disbelief.
"Mother, this is our only chance. Once the eldest brother comes back, the territory will no longer belong to us."
Oper spoke seriously, but the words he said were extremely cold.
After being shocked, Renee Black fell silent.
After a moment.
"Okay!"
Renee Black took a deep breath and made up his mind.
Even though she knew that such a decision would inevitably make her husband never come back, she still chose to agree for the sake of her son and the entire Lawrence territory.
With the consent of his mother, Opper took action.
He first needed to go to Loren City to hire a great knight and some formal knights from the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce.
Then it was time to take action.
