After more than half a year, William once again found the feeling to admonish his father.
Although in fact, it is not impossible for him to annex Sandomici and Vitra as Charumi. otbnkotgt The person who did this was the hero of the Great Border War, the Red Knight Baron Otto.
Things are different again.
Just like what the two earls discussed before.
The vast majority of the nobles in Mazovia have very complicated feelings towards Baron Otto.
Mixed with awe, jealousy and hate.
If Baron Otto suddenly controlled such a large territory and became a decisive force in the Grand Duchy of Mazovia, then there is indeed a possibility that the nobles in the Grand Duchy united to be hostile to him.
However, William felt that there was another possibility, that is, they would surrender.
Will surrender, will surrender to Baron Otto out of fear.
After all, the various nobles in Mazovia had many conflicts among themselves.
It is indeed not very possible for them to work together to cause trouble for Baron Otto.
In addition, there is another reason why William attaches great importance to convincing Baron Otto.
That's the unity of the Hereford family.
Yes, sometimes there are disputes within the family, and relatives fight each other and plot against each other, which is more vicious than dealing with outsiders.
The main reason for this is for profit.
Yes, benefits.
Relatives have inheritance rights.
If you assassinate this person, you have the right to inherit everything from him, land, people, army, and most importantly, money, money, money, money.
William had heard about various human tragedies more than once.
Between brothers, even between father and son.
He was glad that there wasn't so much mess in the Hereford family.
He hopes to maintain his current status.
And if the two territories are forcibly annexed without the support of Baron Otto, then the originally harmonious relationship between father and son will naturally have cracks.
Even if William felt that Baron Otto would hold his nose and admit it later, help him, and give him shelter.
But he still didn't want this kind of rift to arise.
So, William told what he was considering, hoping to persuade Baron Otto.
Of course, the former reason can be given, but the latter one cannot.
But that's enough, yes.
Enough, enough to impress Baron Otto.
He only had a son like William.
He also bore the surname Hereford.
So how could he not want the Hereford family to prosper, and how could he not want his son to be successful?
What is a father's responsibility?
Isn't it to protect his children from wind and rain?
As the patriarch of the Hereford family, there is nothing wrong with seeking the development and growth of the family.
After thinking about this, Baron Otto made a decision.
The four counts, plus a barony equivalent to the count, accounted for a quarter of the strength of the Grand Duchy of Mazovia.
And they are connected together, not scattered.
As long as the Hereford family remains united, its rise will be unstoppable.
Not even His Highness the Grand Duke can prevent this from happening.
"Then, it's decided."
Baron Otto nodded, and then asked: "Then what are we going to do next?
What are Yelich and Perchberg going to do?
Kill them?
Capture them?"

We still have to do it secretly."
When talking about the last option, William felt that his father's smile was very "unnatural" and looked like some kind of bloodthirsty monster.
Although this bloodthirsty feeling was not deliberately directed at William, and the next moment, Baron Otto noticed something was wrong and returned to normal.
But William still felt his heart tightening.
At that moment, he was really scared.
He thought that he had experienced life and death several times, and had been on the battlefield.
He had seen dead people and too many fights.
There was nothing to be afraid of in this world, but he didn't expect that.
Against someone like Baron Otto, he still had no ability to resist at all.
"Is this the strength of a great mentor?"
William thought in his heart, and couldn't help but be amazed by it.
It was not until many years later that William, who had experienced many things and had greatly improved his strength and power, recalled the scene that night and realized that Baron Otto had already surpassed the level of "Grand Mentor" and became a A world-class "paragon of knights" whose power is at its strongest, even close to the legendary "Ten Plagues".
After that, William finally understood that Baron Otto had agreed to him, perhaps not because his eloquence was good enough.
Or maybe he really changed his mind and psychology.
A greater possibility is that Baron Otto is extremely confident in his own strength.
He is confident that nothing in this world can stop him.
Yes, that's it.
However, this was much later.
William currently doesn't know about this.
In his excitement, he could only think about continuing to discuss with Baron Otto what needed to be done next.
"Can't kill.
Just like what my father said, we can't become prisoners of enemies of the Grand Duchy of Mazovia.
It's best to capture them.
After that, force them to sign an agreement and ask them to give up their territory.
After that, we'll salute Send them out."
"Keeping them alive will be a problem after all."
Baron Otto frowned: "What if someone uses their name to attack us?"
When Baron Otto said this, he still seemed to want to kill people.
William couldn't help but think to himself: "My father seemed quite elegant before.
Why is he so murderous now?"
But that was what he thought in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"The families of Horwich and Leil are not small, and Perchburg and Yelich also have brothers and heirs.
Even if they are killed, these two families still have claims in Sandomici and Vitra Right.
We can’t kill them all.”
"Indeed."
Baron Otto nodded: "Then, the matter is settled like this.
Next, we will march towards Sandomici.
As long as we defeat Sandomici Castle, the next thing will be simple."
Here, Baron Otto sighed: "The soldiers you trained are really good."
William knew that Baron Otto arrived on the battlefield earlier than he thought.
Only in this way could he accurately grasp the opportunity or deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at the critical moment.
Or at a critical moment, save the new Circassian army that is about to collapse.
In other words, Baron Otto watched the entire small-scale battle, so he came to this conclusion.
Hearing what Baron Otto said, William naturally felt very happy.
Because this is a compliment from Baron Otto, and it is not a casual compliment, but a sincere compliment.

Baron Otto has two identities: one is his father, and the other is an outstanding commander who has made great achievements in the military field.
These two identities make his praise much more valuable than ordinary people's.
Just like that, the conversation became relaxed again.
William took the opportunity to please Baron Otto with a few words.
And exchanged opinions with Baron Otto about the next thing.
The most critical point is the name under which these four counties and one border barony are governed.
Although in theory, Baron Otto could hold several counts concurrently.
But in terms of social status, Baron Otto can still only be a count.
It is not very good for unifying his territory and the prestige of the Hereford family.
Therefore, William hoped to seek a duke's title for his family.
"In this case, what will the Grand Duke think of me?"
Hearing what William said, Baron Otto hesitated: "Isn't this a little bad?"
"What's wrong?
The person who canonized us is His Majesty the Emperor, not the Grand Duke of Mazovia.
We just happen to be in his name in the feudal sequence."
William, as always, instilled the correct feudal principles into Baron Otto.
Doctrine of ethics: "From beginning to end, we don't need to be loyal to him."
This time, Baron Otto frowned when he heard what William said.
But no words of rebuttal were said.
"Then that's how it is."
Baron Otto said at last.
Although there was no formal consent, it was regarded as acquiescence.
"The search for the two earls cannot be relaxed."
William then added.
It was at this time that Little John's voice came from outside the camp: "Your Excellency, and the young master, there is news."
"Come in."
Hereford and his son looked at each other.
Then William answered.
Little John walked in immediately, and then said: "It is said that Perchberg, Count of Vitra, was caught.
He originally wanted to resist, but our people were all wearing muskets.
So he had no choice but to surrender."
"Well done, little John."
William was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
He had just finished talking to his father about this matter, and then the news came out.
This is a pretty good bonus.
Since coming to this world, he has seen too many supernatural phenomena, and William has naturally become more and more superstitious.
And after spending such a long time with that priest Peter, William can be regarded as a pan-believer in the Lord of Glory. 160420oshow7:
