Chapter 49: Stone Piles

The east bank of the river is also flat and fertile. Looking up, you can only see a rolling hill at the end of the horizon.

At least hundreds of thousands of acres of good farmland can be cultivated here.

Simon was jealous, but the boundary on the map only goes to the river, and the mark is relatively clear, so there is no room for movement.

He suppressed his thoughts and took people to look around on this plain. After a while, they came to the hilly area.

The Stone Territory is about 700 to 800 square kilometers according to the map, but there are more hills and only about 20% to 30% of the plain.

Not long after, a camp was found in a place close to the mountains and rivers, with a noble emblem flag on it.

Simon had no impression of this emblem, but it was probably the family emblem of Baron Werir.

He led people to walk around the camp for most of the way two miles away and observed it carefully for a while.

"My lord, their camp is well built." Sarit said.

"Yeah." Simon nodded. Although it was not as exquisite as Yaman's design, it did look like it was made by the army.

Baron Willier had at least one good military talent under his command.

He was slightly disappointed. It seemed that it would not be so easy to copy the Fearless Lord.

At this time, several cavalrymen ran out of the camp, all wearing iron-studded leather armor and carrying cavalry spears.

Soon, they came not far from Simon's team and shouted, "Excuse me, which baron is here?"

Sarit glanced at Simon and saw him nod slightly, so he shouted, "My lord is the Baron of the Courageous Lord, Simon Hollen!"

The light cavalrymen turned their horses around and ran back to the camp soon after hearing this.

After a while, a large group of people ran out of the camp, including about 30 people on horseback, but there were not many war horses among them, most of them were travel horses.

There were also more than 200 infantrymen, whose equipment was a little messy, with various styles and different styles.

About 30% of them were wearing iron armor, which was basically a single-layer chainmail lined with an iron breastplate, and the rest were either iron-lined leather armor or pure leather armor.

In terms of weapons, spears dominated the mainstream, and there were also some sword and shield soldiers, battle axes, and hammer soldiers. There were fewer archers, but they also existed.

"Wow! Not bad, there are slave soldiers from the Slave Bay." Simon pursed his lips and looked at them, thinking to himself.

Those who picked spears were slave soldiers, about a hundred people, and the others were a bit like mercenaries.

I have to say that Baron Werir has some strength, much better than Baron Hela who was a ghost.

After a while, the opponent's team was only fifty meters away from Simon, but they stopped.

"Hello, Baron Simon, I am Baron Werir from the Stone Territory, nice to meet you!"

A big man wearing yellow-edged plate chain mail shouted in the opposite team.

"Hello, Baron Werir!" Simon had to greet him out loud.

"I wonder what you are doing here?" Werir said in a kind tone.

"Just strolling around and visiting neighbors!" Simon also smiled.

"Oh! Then I have to show my hospitality.

Come on, kill a cow. I will not return until I am drunk with Baron Simon today!" Willier shouted boldly.

"Yes!" The guards beside him responded and rode away immediately.

"Hahaha, thank you for your hospitality!" Simon laughed and said without hesitation.

When the troops on both sides heard this, the atmosphere was obviously relaxed, and the weapons were slowly put down and pointed to the ground.

After that, the barons of both sides took their guards and walked to the middle of the team for a deeper meeting.

It was nothing more than chatting and making friends.

Baron Willier looked about 30 years old, his voice was relatively heroic, and he was very kind, always grinning and smiling.

Simon saw the other party's situation and did not want to make enemies. He smiled kindly, responded cautiously, and answered fluently.

Not long after, both of them dismounted, wearing heavy armor and holding each other's shoulders, talking and laughing, as if they were old friends reuniting.

"Oh my god, wasn't this Werir a freeman before? His rank is pretty good..."

Simon kept complaining in his heart.

The two sides' troops basically stopped fighting, and the horsemen also dismounted and gradually gathered together.

But it was still clear, with a clear boundary in the middle.

On this boundary, there were two barons and several knights from both sides.

Simon only brought one knight this time, that is, Sarit. Werir had a lot of knights, five of them, and each of them was a warrior with good strength.

And they were all fiefdom knights. Werir gathered a lot of power with the fiefdom in his hands.

Although in the long run, it may cause some confusion, but in this early stage of entrepreneurship, it can make him have good strength.

They sat on the ground and talked until noon. Werir's men roasted the cow and brought it over, and everyone shared it together.

There was definitely not enough food for so many people, so only the barons, knights and some elite soldiers could get some.

Baron Werrier did not leave the other soldiers alone, but cooked rye porridge for them.

For a while, the soldiers under the command of both sides felt warm in their stomachs and did not have much hostility, after all, they had eaten together.

However, the two barons seemed to have their own ulterior motives. While drinking and eating, they secretly inquired about each other's background.

The news was too closed, and Werrier had no idea who the baron of Yongyi was, nor did he know what Simon Hollen's background was.

Simon did know a little about him, but not much.

"Oh! So your family was founded by Swift Wolf Joren. My father and your uncle are good friends!

They are all the Marquis' personal guards!"

Weirel said with a happy face, and his tone was much closer.

"Hey! So we are a family!" Simon heard this and cooperated very well. He took off his helmet and threw it beside him.

Weirel also took off his helmet and ordered: "Go get some more wine, bring my collection of black broom honey wine!"

"Hey!" A knight next to him stood up and responded, then went to lead the horse back to the camp.

After this, Weirel seemed to have eliminated a layer of estrangement and became really close to Simon.

Simon also became more and more like a brother to him. This person's strength is good and they can be friends.

But he still felt a pity in his heart that such a good piece of land could not be annexed in a short time.

But on second thought, having a strong ally is also indispensable. You can't fight alone in the game of power.

The party lasted until dusk, and the two barons had a good chat and exchanged the information they had.

Moreover, he also promoted the granite in the Stone Pile Territory to Simon, saying, "We are all good brothers, price is not a problem!"

Simon readily agreed to buy some.

In fact, there is also granite in the Yongyi Territory, but this kind of stone is hard and not easy to mine. It would be good if we could buy some ready-made long stones from outside.

In addition, if there is some trade with the Stone Pile Territory, it can also deepen the relationship between them.

After all, the two sides are only separated by a river, and both are strong. At present, fighting will do more harm than good, so it is better to cooperate.
