Chapter 63 The Three Great Nobles Unite
The Maine Valley is almost the most fertile area around. In addition to the Eagle Ridge chosen by Thor, there are more than a dozen pioneering lords around the Maine Valley. The best construction is undoubtedly the Lawrence family, followed by the Valmy family and the Graton family.
Although the Valmy family and the Graton family are not as powerful as the Lawrence family, as they have been canonized as barons ten years ago, their strength should not be underestimated.
With the invitation of the Lawrence family.
The lords of the Valmy family and the Graton family have arrived in the Lawrence territory with their men and horses.
However, after arriving, the two lords of the Valmy family and the Graton family could not help but raise their eyebrows slightly.
The entire Lawrence family seems to have changed.
The familiar knights in the memory seem to have disappeared, and in their place are completely unfamiliar knights.
"Master Valmy, have you noticed that something seems to be wrong here?"
Baron Valmy rode his horse and whispered to Baron Graton next to him.
"Something is wrong indeed. These people seem to be hired knights of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce, not of the Lawrence family."
Baron Graton nodded, and his expression was somewhat suspicious.
They naturally knew about the hired knights of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce. The hired knights of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce also had exclusive armbands. They could tell at a glance that these were hired knights of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce.
Such a result made them full of doubts.
When did the Lawrence family hire the knights of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce.
What are they going to do.
The cost of hiring the knights of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce is not low.
Looking at the current scale, the number of people hired is not small, and it is impossible to do it without thousands of gold coins.
Thousands of gold coins, both of them were shocked.
For them who were established by the pioneering lords, thousands of gold coins are already an astronomical value.
Suspicion is spreading.
And the footsteps of the two gradually came to the Lawrence Castle.
But when they arrived at the Lawrence Castle, both of them were stunned.
The eyebrows were slightly raised.
Because the person who appeared outside the castle at this moment was not Pape, Lawrence, but a hired knight of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce, and not just an ordinary knight, but a great knight.
The two looked at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
The great knight, the annual hiring fee is as high as one thousand gold coins. At this moment, the Lawrence family actually hired so many formal knights, and even hired a great knight. This must be a big thing.
"My Lords, the Lord has been waiting for a long time."
"Please follow me!~"
The great knight of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce spoke softly.
Then he led the two to the castle.
The two suppressed the ups and downs in their hearts and followed the great knight slowly into the castle.
The castle was very large, and it was much more prosperous than their castle.
Under the guidance of the great knight of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce, the two soon arrived at the hall.
However, there was no Pape Lawrence in the hall, but a figure that made them frown slightly.
"Oper, where is your father? This is not a good way to treat guests!"
Baron Graton couldn't help but speak first, and his eyes went straight to Opal Lawrence at the top.
Baron Valmy next to him didn't speak, but carefully observed the surroundings.
"Uncle Valmy, Uncle Gratton, I'm really sorry, my father may not be able to come to greet you."
Oper Lawrence pretended to be sad.
And listening to his words, Valmy and Gratton couldn't help but twitch their eyebrows.
"Oper, what did you say?"
Valmy couldn't help but speak.
"Uncle Valmy, Uncle Gratton, something happened."
"A few days ago, my father and my eldest brother died in battle!"
Oper Lawrence spoke with a sigh.
"What?"
"What did you say?"
And listening to his words, Valmy and Gratton couldn't keep calm at this moment.
He, what did they hear.
Baron Pape died in battle.
This time made them unbelievable.
It was just in this kind of disbelief that the two suddenly remembered what they had seen along the way.
The disbelief gradually turned into suspicion.
And in the suspicion, the eyes began to flicker.
The benefits of a baron territory, especially an old baron territory like Lawrence, are undoubtedly extremely huge.
Before Baron Pape was still there, they had no idea.
They didn't dare to have any ideas.
Pape was stronger than them, and Lawrence's territory was also stronger than them.
But now it seems that Baron Pape died in battle, and the entire Lawrence territory was greatly damaged.
This is completely their opportunity.
Thoughts flowed.
"That's right, my father and my elder brother have died in battle."
"My father discovered a large iron mine in the lower reaches of the Maine River Valley, so he brought a large number of knights to take it down. Unfortunately, he failed. My father and my elder brother have been killed by their lord. I can only go to the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce to hire some knights to see if I can avenge my father and my elder brother. In addition, I would like to ask my two uncles for help!"
Oper Lawrence pretended to be more sad.
Valmy and Graton were originally thinking, but at this moment they suddenly widened their eyes and stood up.
It's not that they are not calm.
But the information brought by Opal Lawrence has given them too much impact.
Large iron ore.
That's a large iron ore.
There is a chance to produce mithril iron, and it is a continuous production of mithril iron.
Its value is unimaginable.
It can even be said that if a family has a large iron ore, they can have the potential to be promoted to Viscount.
At this moment, how can they not be restless.
"Are you serious?"
"There is really a large iron ore there."
"Oper, who is the lord there? Isn't there a pioneer lord in the lower reaches of the Maine Valley?"
Valmy and Graton couldn't help but speak. At this moment, neither of them was in the mood to care about Pape's death in battle.
After all, the temptation of a large iron ore is greater than everything.
In comparison, what is the interest of Lawrence's territory, what is Pape's death in battle.
"Of course it's true!"
"Otherwise, my father wouldn't have brought the elite forces of the territory with him."
"As for the territory there, it seems to be a newly established pioneer lord, which has just been established in less than half a year."
Oper Lawrence nodded and explained slowly.
"A new pioneer lord~!"
"Less than half a year!"
Valmy and Graton's eyes lit up at this moment.
