In the dim main castle hall, oil lamps flickered brightly and dimly, and wisps of burning smoke rose slowly.

The atmosphere in the hall just solidified. Seeing that Lena's expression changed, no one dared to say a word at this moment. Even the breathing was controlled as much as possible, afraid of making a sound.

Everyone's hearts mentioned their throats.

If someone is careful, you can find that there are dense beads of sweat on Baron Samun's forehead.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Apart from the sound of breathing in the hall, only the sound of Lena tapping on the tabletop can be heard.

The sound of knocking on the table was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's chest.

The clothes on the back of the nearest Baron Samun were soaked in a large area, and he looked down at the tabletop with dry mouth, not daring to face Lena's face.

After a while, Rainer stopped the movement of his hands, leaned back on the back of the chair, and slowly said, "This... is it your meaning or the meaning of other vassals?"

There was no joy or anger on Lena's face, no expressions of meaning.

Baron Samun's body trembled insignificantly, then he lowered his head and said, "This...this is what many lords mean...I...he...They all think that there is no need to help that Samuza. baron……"

"Because... the enemy we have to face is too strong... the risk is too great..."

Listening to Baron Samun's words, Rainer didn't say anything immediately.

Everyone in the hall was even more silent, and Baron Samun also looked down at the tabletop.

Their hearts were very uneasy, and Rainer's silence seemed to be accumulating energy, and it suddenly broke out without knowing when.

After a while, Rainer said: "I understand. I will answer you why I did this in the future. Now I am writing to call for my vassals to gather together, so are you willing to follow me to the grassland? ?"

This kind of question made Baron Samun embarrassed. He moved his lips slightly and was silent. The sweat on his forehead fell on the table with a audible sound.

After a fierce ideological struggle in my heart, he said slowly: "Yes... Lord Earl, you are my monarch, and I am willing to follow you as an enemy..."

After speaking, Baron Samun gasped like a fish out of the water.

Although Reiner is only seventeen years old, a series of victories and lofty status have made him full of confidence and also brought him great prestige.

When Baron Samun faced Rainer's questioning and mildly questioning words, he seemed to be facing a big mountain.

No one can understand the pressure of Baron Samun at the time.

"Very good! As expected to be my loyal vassal, I will not treat you badly!" Then Lena smiled and took a wine glass and handed it to Baron Samun.

"Uh...Yes...Yes, Lord Earl..." Baron Samun's hand trembled slightly, and both hands held the wine glass steady, his pale face barely squeezed a smile, and he squatted. Said.

From the power of the prison to the spring breeze and drizzle, God knows how great the fear in Baron Samun's heart is.

Baron Samun took the glass and drank it, and the atmosphere in the hall eased, and the joy he had just resumed again.

After the banquet, Rainer returned to the room that Baron Samun had arranged for him to rest.

Lying on the bed, the bright moonlight cast on Lena through the small window, and his expression became serious.

The vassal's opposition... This was the first time he encountered such a thing.

Rainer knew long ago that often times the relationship between the prince and the vassal was not so harmonious.

Even more powerful vassals were able to fight against the princes, and it was not uncommon for them to oppose the guest.

None of this happened to Lena earlier, and he naively thought that such a thing would not happen to him under his command.

Now it seems that I think too much.

Rainer put the quilt on and closed his eyes.

"Don't let me down!"

Early the next morning, Rainer's horse archers took his summoning order and galloped to the vassal territory.

On June 15th of the twenty-fourth year of the Empire, eight days have passed since the day when the Leiner's levy order was issued, and Leiner's vassals began to lead the army to assemble to Fort Samun one after another.

Rainer sat blankly in the main fort hall.

Today is the last day of the conscription date, that is, today is the deadline for all lords to arrive.

However, there were only twenty-six lords present today, which still included Baron Cod, Baron Varas, and Baron Leyland.

In other words, two of Rainer's twenty-eight vassals did not follow their orders to bring the army to serve.

However, it was not this that angered him most.

One of these two people is Reiner's **** supporter, Baron Azac.

Sarang, who was standing next to Rainer's chair, also had an ugly face. Such behavior by his father would definitely leave a very bad impression in the heart of Lord Earl.

"You don't need to be upset, it has nothing to do with you!" Lean said nonchalantly, no one else understood, but Sarang knew that he was speaking to himself.

Rainer stood up and said blankly: "I won't wait for them, we will leave tomorrow. Do you... have any comments?"

After hearing this, the vassals began to look at each other.

Rainer watched all this coldly, waiting for them to speak.

After everyone pushed and shoved for a while, someone finally spoke.

"Bir... Lord Earl... If we think in our minds, we really don't want to help that Baron Samuza..."

As he said, the other person stood up, saluted Leiner, and said: "Your Lord, Baron Samuza is not a Redka, nor are they a holy father. Moreover, it is difficult for us to be sure whether he is really willing. Just like us, we would not hesitate to sacrifice our lives for Lord Earl!"

"We are afraid that the Baron Samuzha will turn his face and deny after he got through the crisis with your help from the Count~lightnovelpub.net~ Refusing to admit that he is your vassal, Lord Count, why should we risk a huge The risk of loss to help such a person?"

The vassal's logic is clear and his language is sharp.

He didn't even mention whether he could win or not, and he directly acquiesced in winning under the leadership of the earl.

He emphasized that the loyalty of Samuzha Dulina has yet to be discussed, and that he will pay a huge loss.

I have to say that he is much stronger than the other vassals.

Lena looked at him with a smile, and although he said so, Lena knew exactly what was in their hearts.

What they doubted and feared was the enemy's 6,000 prairie cavalry, and they were worried about whether they could win.

In the final analysis, they are still unwilling to pay any price or take any risks, or in other words, they don't believe that Rainer can defeat six thousand cavalry.
