Start as Inherited Baroness

The next day, at noon.

The people of Maple Leaf Castle, led by several mercenary groups, followed the river road and came to the outside of Spark Castle.

They looked at this small castle, a little surprised, and hesitated.

According to the information they had inquired, there was no stone fortress in the Courageous Territory.

"Why did you stop? Sir Hols is in Spark Castle.

We are all family, and now I must have prepared delicious mutton soup for you."

Honorary Knight Odf saw that they were not leaving, so he carried a long-handled axe and grinned.

The leader of this Maple Leaf Castle team was Rod Maiman, who was full of suspicion and said, "Where was Knight Hols sealed?"

"I don't know about this." Odf shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Rod Maiman stopped talking, stopped where he was, and fell into deep thought.

At this time, in the Lord's Hall in Spark Castle, Simon had someone escort Hols out of the dungeon.

"You despicable fellow! What do you want to do now!?"

He looked quite embarrassed at this time. Although he was not disheveled, his cheeks were much thinner.

After all, he could only eat rye porridge and black bread these days, and at most brought a little butter. Compared with the past, it was not a little bit more miserable.

"Someone from Maple Leaf Castle came to die again. Tell me how I should eliminate them." Simon said calmly and a little coldly.

"Baron Simon, you have proved your strength. There is no need to continue.

We in Maple Leaf Castle will not entangle anymore. You can ask for ransom. I am just the second son of a viscount. According to convention, it is one hundred golden eagles."

Hors's expression gradually calmed down and said.

He made a judgment in his heart that Maple Leaf Castle could not obtain the Courageous Territory again.

Just relying on such a small fortress, it was not something they could conquer.

"You are sensible, but I don't know if the one outside thinks so." Simon smiled slightly.

"His name is Rod Maiman. He is a recognized illegitimate child. He was originally assisting me and was stationed in Changlin Town.

Let me write a letter to him and ask him to take it back to Maple Leaf Castle. My family will not give up on me and will definitely give you a ransom."

Horses said with a firm face.

Simon thought for a while after hearing this and ordered: "Bring paper and pen."

"Yes!"

Mailan beside him responded and took out a piece of parchment from the wooden cabinet beside him. After cutting a piece, he sent it over.

"Write it." Simon waved his hand and said softly, indicating that the things should be sent to Hols.

Mailan immediately sent the paper and pen over.

Soon, Hols sat at the end of the long table and buried his head in writing. In less than half an hour, he finished it.

Mailan sent the letter to his lord. Simon read it carefully and nodded slightly.

Horses did not say the specific reason why they were defeated. Anyway, they failed and fell into the hands of the Baron of Yongyi, and asked the family to pay for the ransom.

"Okay, send it to Rod Maiman..." Simon had negotiated, and Mailan was about to deliver the letter.

However, outside the castle at this time, the situation was tense.

Because Rod Maiman was reluctant to move forward and had the intention of retreating, Odf could not wait any longer and directly called the mercenaries to block their retreat.

When Airey and others in the castle saw that they were about to take action, they immediately opened the castle gate, lowered the drawbridge, and rushed out with their men.

Kelley was also among them. Two hundred golden infantrymen quickly formed two spear squares and pressed towards the Maple Leaf Castle soldiers.

"What are you going to do!? I want to see Baron Simon! I want to see Halls!"

Sir Rod looked around and shouted nervously with a little fear.

They formed a circle and also formed a well-defended circular formation, with spearmen in front and archers in the back.

But they were surrounded by seven or eight hundred people, and the atmosphere of despair spread among them.

"Put down your weapons! You are captured! If you resist, you will be killed!" Ai Lei shouted.

"Let us go! Otherwise, we will die together!

Let us go!!" Some of Rhodes' guards shouted fiercely.

Rhodes himself did not follow the shouting, but carefully observed the strength comparison of both sides and came to a helpless conclusion.

If he took action, the whole army would be destroyed.

Because the enemy's knights and cavalry were cruising in the distance, even if they broke out of the encirclement, the remaining soldiers would find it difficult to escape the pursuit.

Rhodes panicked for a while and didn't know what to do.

"Put down your weapons!!"

"Retreat!!"

"Surrender and you won't be killed!"

"Retreat! You son of a bitch...ah!"

The soldiers on both sides were arguing and getting more and more angry, especially those mercenaries, who had poor discipline.

A bearded man seemed to be scolded to the point of pain, and his eyes were as big as a bull, and he stabbed the spear in his hand fiercely.

An elite soldier in armor from Maple Leaf Fort screamed and fell to the ground.

It turned out that the spear had just pierced into the gap of the waist armor, and the armor worn by the soldier did not work.

Iron light armor cannot provide full coverage protection. If it is lined with a single or double layer of chain mail, it will be much better and will not be killed instantly.

"Kill!"

Someone died on the side of Maple Leaf Fort. Thinking that the fight had started, the soldiers no longer restrained themselves and began to kill.

The two sides immediately fought together, and suddenly, curses and screams came one after another.

Soldiers at the enemy's side fell from time to time, and scarlet blood appeared on their spears and iron swords.

And the archers on Simon's side, standing in the rear, stood on a slightly higher ground and began to shoot at close range, and the archers of Maple Leaf Castle did the same.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere for a while.

And the mercenaries were also very brave, holding the line tightly and killing many Maple Leaf Castle soldiers.

They were still quite good at this kind of favorable battle.

"Open a gap! Chase and kill!"

At this time, Kelley, who was riding on a superior warhorse and observing the situation, shouted loudly.

He found that the Maple Leaf Castle soldiers who were tightly surrounded were all desperate, with red eyes, fighting hard, fearless of death.

There was even a person whose arm was chopped off, who flew up and bit off the ear of a mercenary.

The Maple Leaf Castle soldiers triggered the momentum of the pitiful soldiers. Anyway, they were going to die, so it was better to kill a few more scapegoats.

"Retreat! Retreat! People of the Iron Axe Mercenary Group retreat!!"

Odf seemed to have noticed something wrong and immediately shouted loudly.

Soon, the Iron Axe Mercenary Group retreated, paying the price of several casualties, and opened a way for the Maple Leaf Fort soldiers to survive.

"Lord Rhodes! The gap has been opened! Get on the horse! Retreat quickly!" A loyal guard shouted.

"Okay! Okay!" Rhodes nodded in a panic, and was lifted onto the warhorse by several people beside him.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

But the next moment, several arrows shot over, three of which were inserted into the right breastplate, and one was stuck in the shoulder guard.

Another arrow hit the side of the iron helmet, but it bounced off with a clang.

Heavy armor can really save lives on the battlefield. If Rhodes was not wearing a heavy scale armor, he would have been dead by now.
