Vol 3 Chapter 134: ransom

Mainz, empire, palace, any of these words are enough to make people think together. If they are connected together, it is enough to surprise the origin of the proud old man in front of him.
In Europe, the Holy Roman Empire is the only one that can become an empire, and Mainz is one of the seven electors of the empire. These are amazing enough. The old man in front of him actually claims to be an imperial palace. Alexander feels that he seems to have encountered What a big deal.
Compared with Alexander, who feels a little unrealistic because of the unexpected windfall, the old man who claims to be an imperial palace looks even more disbelief in his ears.
He stared at the young man sitting on the horse in amazement, until the two soldiers walked over to salute him respectfully, while raising his arm again, the old man finally woke up to what happened.
"Are you French?" In addition to the initial accident, the old man quickly calmed down. He turned to the entourage behind him trying to resist, and then frowned and looked at Alexander. "So I was captured by you, then tell me Who is your protagonist, let him come to see me now, I can pay ransom for myself, and now I can return to my own tent? "
Alexander looked interestingly at the old man who heard that he was a captive and still holding a shelf in front of him. From his unhurried manner, it can be seen that this person should be a big person, and as long as you think about this person claiming to be Thrall The Earl of Fort can see that he should have come a long way.
"Sir, I am the lord of Naples." Alexander said with a smile. He saw that the unusual movements at the camp finally seemed to have noticed, and began to riot. He raised his hand slightly and made a gesture behind him. Time Bohemian cavalry made a cheerful whistling. They had watched the mountainous cargo in the camp already reddened their eyes. Now that they saw the order from Alexander, the Bohemians screamed and rushed towards the camp. .
A horrified shout rang out suddenly in the camp. Both men and women were frightened by the sudden appearance of a bohemian like a hungry wolf. They panicked and ran away. Some tried to resist and were immediately bent by the bohemians. Knife knocked on the ground.
"Who the are you, do you know who you are offending?" The old man was completely irritated by the bohemian savageness. He struggled forward twice, feeling that he could not break free from the soldiers who carried him. I stopped and looked at Alexander coldly. "You have to pay for everything you do now. Everyone under your offense is a big man you can only look up to. As for me, even the King of Naples has to say Due respect. "
Alexander nodded, but he didn't think the old man was bragging. When he heard that he was the prince of the empire, Alexander knew that this person did have the capital to indulge himself, but such a threat was of no use to him.
On the contrary, it made him somewhat interested.
"So your identity is really high?" Alexander asked with interest.
"Of course," the old man slightly made himself stand up straighter. "I am one of the four prime ministers of the empire, and a heavy minister after the position of the prime minister. If you now show enough remorse, then give me the due respect, I may consider pardoning your offense in front of your king, but now you must order to stop the harassment of the entire camp, and then let your soldiers withdraw from here. This is the logistic camp of the coalition. There are many noble nobles in the ranks. No offense is allowed. "
"It turned out to be the logistics camp of the coalition forces," Alexander looked up in surprise, because Pagasos was tall, so he could almost cover the entire camp, watching the mountains of various materials and large buildings. Small and large tents, Alexander felt that he was really profitable this time.
Carlo went to tell the Bohemians, do n’t easily hurt the people here, these are precious captives, each of them is worth a lot. . "
Carlo ’s eyes have also begun to shine. Although it sounds like this old man should be really a big man, but Carlo still did not understand who he is, but he understood what Alexander said, these look like mice. Like the chaos everywhere, but it is all a ransom.
"Hurry up, guys, you are too ruthless!"
"Oh, sir, are you okay? Let's see what it says. What are you doing and don't help him?"
"The Bohemian over there, if you dare to hurt him, I'll let someone hang you and hang on the flagpole to dry!"
Carlo's shouts began to rise and fall in the camp, only to listen to his anxious and desperate shouts. The dazed old man always felt something was wrong.
Alexander had dismounted, and he ordered Agrig to quickly occupy the camp while inviting him towards the palace to invite him to walk into the camp with himself.
"Please rest assured that you will get the treatment you deserve," Alexander said with a smile, which relaxed the old man's heart slightly.
In fact, what he really feared was those bohemians who looked like barbarians. As for the young man in front of him, if he was n’t crazy, how could he dare to ignore himself.
"But before that, I still want to reiterate that you are my captive," but Alexander's next words made Gong Xiang not so happy. He felt that this person's repeated repetition of his captive status was simply an insult to him. When he was about to protest, Alexander had continued to say, "So please write a letter now, preferably to the supreme commander of the coalition here, because I need to replace you with someone."
Gong Xiang showed a surprised look, and then nodded with ease.
"Do you have any relatives or friends captured by the coalition forces? Want to use me to replace him? Although this is degrading my identity, but I can still help you if I can help you." Gong Xiangji nodded, Alexander's The request made him already believe that the terrible situation in front of him would soon pass away, and since the person asked to exchange prisoners, he should be free soon.
Alexander smiled lightly without explanation, but just looked at the arrogant old man, his eyes narrowed slightly. This action reminded him of Sophia.
The old man ’s tent was very large, and when he walked in there was an illusion that he had walked into a palace room. Seeing that there were actually separate rooms in the tent, Alexander was somewhat concerned about the luxury of this palace-like lord. A little impression.
"Adult, I think we can talk about your ransom now." Alexander said with a smile.
The old man sat down slowly. He had completely calmed down at this time. He looked up and down at the young man in front of him, trying to see the origin and weight of the man from his clothing, but then he was a little disappointed.
Obviously, this young man should not be a person of status, and from his attitude of not respecting himself, Miyazaki can also feel that he should be a small lord in a small place, although such a person is actually very easy to pass. But often because of their ignorance and lack of due awe, at least Gong Xiang believes that if the captive is a certain aristocrat in Naples, they will clearly understand their status and influence, and naturally they will respect themselves a lot, after all Maybe it won't be long before everyone will meet at a court party, and those people might have to salute him by then.
But the little Lord Tubaozi with a group of Tubaozi army in front of him clearly didn't know how noble he was.
"I'm the Earl of Salzburg, so I won't bargain for my worth, it's insulting to me. And I want to remind you in good faith that you probably don't know that you have caused trouble," Gong Xiang looked at Alexander. Naples is the enemy of the French, but you attacked the logistics camp of the coalition. You may just be an ordinary mercenary captain, but I remind you that you may face a trial when you return to Naples. "
Listening to Miyazaki's "goodwill reminder", Alexander just smiled silently. At this time, he was only surrounded by Paul Busako, and everyone else was sent to accept the entire camp. After all, this camp looks a bit big and hoarded There are also a lot of supplies, which makes Alexander feel the need to find out as soon as possible how big a loot he hit, because he knows that he cannot take everything away.
"Sir, let's write a letter first. After all, this matter is very important. Then let's talk about your ransom. Do you think that 30,000 Ducat is in line with your distinguished identity?"
Gong Xiang showed a stunned expression on his face. He originally thought that this person should be so bold because he didn't know who he was. But now he heard such a ransom amount. Gong Xiang felt that this person was actually very clear. His identity made Miyazaki's relaxed heart instantly sink, and he began to look at the young man with serious eyes.
30,000 Ducat is undoubtedly a huge sum of money. This is not a small amount for any aristocrat even known as a rich man, and there are not many people who can pay such a large ransom in Europe. Alfred von Kotzach is one of them.
Kotschah is a prominent aristocrat in Salzburg. This family has produced five Archbishops of Salzburg in all generations. These Kotschah held the position of Archbishop of Salzburg for nearly a hundred years. They even wore publicly to represent Supreme noble purple robe to show his identity.
Just a few years ago, the current Archbishop of Salzburg arrogantly put the turnip grass, which foreshadowed the responsibility for the protection of the crown, as part of his logo into the family badge, which made the entire Kotszach family Completely became the owner of one of the richest territories in Salzburg.
It is precisely because of this that Leopold von Kotzach can become an imperial palace with the support of the Archbishop of Salzburg.
The Kotschah family can definitely afford 30,000 Ducat.
It's just, how did this little lord who looked like a mercenary buns know?
Alfred von Kotzchag gently stroked the thick, thick gray short beard on his jaw. His eyes were fixed on Alexander, and after a while he nodded: "Tell me you want With whom I exchange. "
"I should have known this person to you," Alexander gently placed the prepared quill pen in front of the palace. "The knight of France, the supreme commander of France in Rome, De Charlene of Savoy."
Hearing Alexander's words, Gong Xiang's hand holding the pen couldn't help but the ink on the tip of the pen dripped, leaving a small ink stain on the paper.
When Carlo walked into the tent, he saw Alexander looking through a large book and saw him walk in. Alexander signaled that he should wait a moment, but Carlo was obviously a little too excited to be quiet, so he was there. Alexander walked up and down in front of him until Alexander reluctantly put down the book in his hand.
"Say, what is there?"
"Sir, this time we sent it," Carlo said in a tone with a slang from his hometown, before breathing. "You probably don't know what we all saw, Chengshan's food and bacon, a few barrels of spices, There are also gold coins with a full carriage, which are all Florin and Ducat. God, I do n’t know how to describe those things. "
"What about the nobles?" Alexander asked with a smile. He almost knew what was in the camp, but it always made him wonder what the nobles were doing, or the war seemed to them like a war. Armed outings, there are still people willing to follow the army like a circus.
"Oh, by the way, we caught a group of nobles, who are now shouting to see you, and several people have offered to pay the ransom, but they want to leave immediately."
Alexander nodded and waved his hand at random: "As long as the ransom is paid, let them go. It is enough for us to have an empire's palace lord."
Carlo looked at Alexander a bit hesitantly, and seemed slightly dissatisfied, saying: "But lord, shouldn't we wait for the families of the nobles to redeem them, so that we can get more money, right?"
"Carlo," Alexander motioned for his cavalry captain to sit down. "Listen, what do you think we should do if we caught a bunch of nobles? If they can't exchange them for money, these people are useless, and don't Forgetting that we are still on the battlefield, the coalition will fight desperately with us to regain this camp, not to mention that we are not enemies of the coalition. "
Alexander said that he picked up a letter from the table next to it.
"This is a letter written by Lord Miyazaki, this is our biggest harvest this time," Alexander said and handed the letter to Busako next to him. "Paul, send this letter to the coalition forces to be handed over to the coalition forces. Commander, tell him that the imperial palace is in our hands, but before that you have to find out whether Constantine has rescued De Charlene. "Said Alexander with a slight smile. Say "If our friend has not been rescued, your condition is to get him away in exchange for the palace, if he is already saved, you have to tell the coalition commander, except for the ransom of 30,000 Ducat ~ EbookFREE.me ~ we Require the coalition forces to also pay a ransom for their logistics camp. "
Watching Busako leave, Alexander stood up and said to Carlo, who was still a little excited, "Okay, now let's go and see our trophies."
Paul nodded in excitement immediately, and after circling the entire camp, he believed that even the richest man could not be so calm when he saw those things.
The fact is that although I have read the accounts found in the palace tent, when I saw the supplies with my own eyes, Alexander couldn't help but get excited by the accident.
"It seems that we really did."
Learning Carlo ’s Agri slang, Alexander walked slowly along the pile of wooden barrels piled up with wheat, looking at Carlo who seemed to count the wheat barrel silently with his lips moving, Alexandria Smiled.
He knew that Carlo could not understand what it meant for the logistics camp they had inadvertently occupied. Looking at the Agri soldiers who were transporting a batch of bronzes from a carriage not far away, Alexander exhaled gently. , And then issued an order to Carlo: "Blow the trumpet, gather the team, prepare to respond to the enemy!"
