"Ding, the side mission has kept Quinte alive for a while, and the hard knock has been completed. The system mission blacksmith's loyalty has been distributed!"

Listening to the system prompts, Nalant left the castle directly with the two horse-drawn carriages "borrowed" from Quinte Castle. The two carriages contained three trebuchets and Dark Creature's armor.

"Nalant, taking these three trebuchets back may lead to Earl Blackiron's investigation!" On the way back, Boris became frowning.

Nalant In addition to the original two conditions, in the end, all three trebuchets on the city wall were taken away.

Each earl family has strict control over these trebuchets. Nalant has now taken away three trebuchets. It can be said that the importance of this matter is second only to the matter of letting Quinte cede the territory.

Boris is really worried that Earl Blackiron will also miss him.

It would be very uncomfortable for a baron to be interested in a count, even if he was not a direct lord.

"Boris, I have obtained the territory contract and Yellow Sprite from Quinte. Do you think that even if I don't take this trebuchet, Earl Blackiron will cause trouble for me if he finds out."

"Definitely!"

"That's right. Since he will always make trouble for me, why don't I take more points at once? Moreover, we are Tulip Family's vassals, so he won't directly send troops to attack me!" Nalant really became a piece of meat at this time.

"This... should not be possible!" Boris thought for a moment and shook his head.

Although Storm Territory is the territory of Nalant, it is also the territory of the Tulip Family. If Earl Blackiron directly sends troops, no matter what the cause is, Tulip Family cannot sit idly by.

Therefore, Earl Blackiron has only two ways to deal with Nalant. One is to openly negotiate with the Tulip Family to ask for an explanation, and the other is to secretly send someone to trouble Nalant.

The second thing I won't mention is that Boris feels that he cannot help, and he is not sure whether Earl Blackiron will do it.

After a pause, Boris focused on the first method, "Nalant, are you sure our Lord Earl will help you then!"

Hearing this, Nalant thought for a moment, then shook his head, "It's hard to say this now, but no matter what, the earl won't really ignore me!"

Nalant Damn it, in fact, he has also considered these issues and already has some ideas.

The Charlie incident of the Sir Walade caravan, plus the incident of Quinte using barbarians to frame him.

These two actions are tantamount to Quinte murdering the noble Nalant, and the evidence is conclusive.

Therefore, Nalant can package himself as a victim and stand on the moral high ground.

And he himself took Dark Creature to invade Quinte Territory. This was an unexpected incident.

His strength is low, so running towards Quinte Territory in order to survive is a helpless move. We can't just let him stand and wait to die.

Although he blackmailed Quinte now, he also saved Quinte and wiped out all Dark Creature of Quinte Territory.

After all the calculations, as long as the earl is a little partial, there shouldn't be much of a problem on the surface.

Of course, the only thing he can't control is what the Earl's attitude will be when the time comes.

Will you favor him under the pressure of Earl Blackiron? After all, he Nalant is nothing now.

The only identity bargaining chip is that he is the second son of Andrew. This identity may be of some use to the Earl.

Nalant is already prepared. As soon as he returns to the castle, he will send a messenger to ventilate his father.

What is really more dangerous is that he needs to be prepared for Earl Blackiron's secret attack. Therefore, after Nalant returns, he prepares to strengthen the security of the territory. He needs to react whenever there is any trouble.

"By the way Boris, I invited you to come to practice this time. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing!"

"To express my apology, when you go back, I will give you two of the trebuchets!"

Putting aside the troublesome matters for the time being, Nalant moved the topic to the ownership of the trebuchet.

"Give it to me?" Boris was stunned.

"Yes, this time I won Yellow Sprite and the territory. You also contributed a lot this time, so you can use the two trebuchets!"

"I... I still don't need it, Nalant. In fact, even if you have a contract, it may not be easy to get Quinte Territory's territory!" Boris swallowed hard.

He was naturally covetous of this trebuchet, which was a deadly weapon in war, as powerful as dozens of archers.

However, he is really not as courageous as Nalant, and he is afraid that accepting it will trigger Earl Blackiron's revenge.

Besides, Nalant had spent so much effort to get it, and he was too embarrassed to accept it, and there were two of them.

"That territory Quinte has signed and pledged it. You have to acknowledge it if you don't want to. Whoever is named Quinte has already sworn an oath to God of Glory!"

"As for this trebuchet, Boris, don't refuse, just accept it! This time Earl Blackiron probably hates me the most. Your territory is not bordered by Blackiron Earldom, so you are afraid of what he will do."

Nalant directly waved his hand to Boris not to shirk.

In fact, when Quinte was cheating the trebuchet this time, Nalant wanted to give it to Boris as a sweetener. Otherwise, Boris would have been frightened this time. If he didn't make up for it, next time he would definitely not play with his friend who cheated his teammates.

Of course, there is actually another reason why Nalant is so generous.

That's because as a time traveler, he lived in a world where aircraft and cannons could be made in his previous life. Although he couldn't master those high technologies, he could still understand the principles of some simple ancient instruments.

As long as he spends some time thinking about trebuchets, crossbows, etc., he is sure to make them, and they will not be worse than in this world.

Therefore, he only needs to keep one trebuchet to let himself have a deep understanding of the structure, and then imitate or innovate to make it. Wouldn't it be more delicious?

The extra two trebuchets are used as favors, which also maximizes profits.

"This... that... ok! Thank you very much, Nalant!" Boris, who originally felt that he had been cheated this time, reappeared on his face, and his eyes gleamed when he looked at Nalant. He felt that although this ally was a bit cheated, he was still a good person.

This trebuchet is a good thing. If you have money, you can't buy it anywhere. Even if you don't use it normally, it will be very dignified if you put it on the castle.

Next, Nalant and others walked forward and encountered many dead Quinte bodyguards on the road.

Nalant immediately ordered the guards to collect all their weapons and equipment and put them on the carriage.

Although the weapons and equipment of these guards were not in good condition due to the fierce fighting, taking them back to dismantle and repair them was still a good thing.

You must know that there were hundreds of Quinte guards who died on the road this time, and all of them were equipped with armor and weapons.
