Chapter 271: friendly meeting
"Thanks a lot."
Baron Lunet's guard thanked the guard.
Then he turned around and walked to the carriage, leaning against the curtain, and said softly, "Lord Baron, we are going to enter White Bear Town."
"Keep the team neat and tidy, let everyone be more energetic, and don't lose the face of Shadie Town."
Inside the carriage, the voice of Baron Lunet came.
"Yes, Lord Baron."
Afterwards, the guard sorted out the formation, and then rushed towards White Bear Town.
At the same time, a guard on the border patrol line mounted a war horse and walked in front of the convoy in Shadie Town to give them directions.
Baron Manor.
"Lord Baron, I really didn't expect that before the dispute started, and it was still in a situation of saving, some people started to be unable to hold back."
At the entrance of the manor, Sandor stood beside Willy.
Just ten minutes ago, someone had just sent a message to Sandor, who was busy with government affairs, saying that the baron had called him to the manor to receive the upcoming Baron Lunitt of Sanddie Town with him.
After Sandor heard the news, he immediately drove his horse to Willy's manor.
Baron Willy had already informed him about the visit by Baron Lunet of Sandie Town, so he was not surprised.
Nominally speaking, Baron Willy and Baron Lunet have similar status, so Sandor, the mayor of the town office, still needs to show his face when receiving guests.
"Sandol, maybe you think too much, Baron Lunet just wants to promote friendship with me."
Willy looked back at Sandor with a very relaxed tone.
"Perhaps so..."
Sandor also smiled softly.
It's just that the two of them looked at each other, and both saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes.
Would Baron Lunitt's visit to Baron Willie be purely to promote friendship?
What a joke.
The purpose of visiting Baron Willy at this time point is too obvious.
The biggest theme in the era of independent lords is strife in chaos, the big eat the small, and the strong eat the weak.
There are only two ways to survive this cruel game without being eaten.
Either you can achieve your own strength through various means, and become an existence that people dare not provoke or even actively avoid, or you can only rely on a strong person and become his vassal.
These two options, for ordinary lords, are undoubtedly the second easier to do.
Because it is too difficult to realize one's own strength, whether it is a top extraordinary genius, or resources that can ensure the continuous enhancement of the territory, are very scarce, not every territory is as special as White Bear Town.
This Baron Lunit of Sanddie Town is a typical ordinary lord.
His purpose can basically be inferred from the humble tone of his previous letter.
Baron Lunitt should be a vassal, a vassal of White Bear Town, in exchange for a greater chance of ensuring the survival and continuation of the territory when disputes come.
Willy and Sandor stopped talking, waiting quietly for the arrival of Baron Lunitt.
Behind the two, stood several other town officials, as well as a neat team of manor guards.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the baron's manor.
"Are you coming..."
Willy's originally unwavering face suddenly squeezed out a polite and warm content.
Soon, the carriage came.
"Welcome Baron Lunite to White Bear!"
The carriage had just stopped and no one had gotten down yet, when Willy stepped forward and greeted warmly.
Immediately afterwards, there was a rustling sound from inside the carriage. It was obvious that the people inside were in a hurry and were about to get off the carriage.
"Baron Willie!"
Soon, a middle-aged man in a black dress jumped out of the carriage with a smile on his face.
It was Baron Lunet of Sanddie Town.
Baron Lunet was quite surprised when he suddenly heard Willy's voice in the carriage just now.
He also thought that a powerful baron like Willy would only send a senior official to greet him, and then bring himself to the parlor to meet with Baron Willy. Moreover, the collapse of the fief system in Daweibull Province will further aggravate the status gap caused by this difference in power.
But what Baron Lunitt didn't expect was that Baron Willy took the initiative to greet him and greeted him so warmly.
This made Baron Lunitt, who was still in a very uneasy mood, suddenly feel relieved a lot of pressure.
The purpose of his trip was exactly what Willy and Sandor had guessed. It was because of what he wanted, and in the face of such a powerful baron that even surpassed many viscounts, Baron Lunet was naturally a little nervous.
"I didn't expect Baron Willy to greet him in person, I'm really grateful."
Baron Lunit's tone was a little excited, as if he had sensed the hospitality from White Bear Town.
"This is as it should be. Baron Lunitt has come from a long way, so he should greet him thoughtfully."
Willy greeted him with a smile like a textbook, and said softly.
Looking at the young and powerful Baron Willy, Baron Lunitt felt sighed for a while.
At this age, it seems that he has not yet been determined as the heir to the Baron of Sandie Town. And this Baron Willy, not only has made White Bear Town so prosperous and prosperous, but also has the strength of a great knight, which is really something people can only look up to.
"Have seen Baron Willy."
At this time, several people who got down from the back of Baron Lunitt's carriage also began to greet Baron Willy.
One of them, a half-grey-haired man in his fifties or sixties, dressed in official clothing, stepped forward first and bowed to Willy.
"Lord Baron, this is His Excellency Mirda, who was appointed by Baron Lunite to present a gift last time."
At this time, Sandor, who was beside Willy, said softly to Willy.
Hearing this, Willy nodded without a trace.
"I have seen Baron Willy, I am the mayor of Sanddie Town and the first secretary, Mirda."
Mirda introduced herself again.
The official position he held in Sand Butterfly was exactly the same as Sandor's official position in White Bear Town.
"This is the captain of our personal soldiers in Shadie Town, Baijute."
Immediately afterwards, Mirda introduced another official behind him.
After Berjut, the captain of the Guards in Sandie Town, saluted Willy, Mirda introduced all the other officials behind him.
Including the first deputy mayor, the second deputy mayor, the deputy captain of the personal soldiers, and the first law officer of Shadie Town...
Basically everyone is a big man in Shadie Town.
After these officials greeted Baron Willy one by one, Baron Willy showed a fleeting smile.
"Almost brought the core characters of the entire Shadie Town..."
Willie chuckled inwardly.
This Baron Lunit, in order to show his humility, brought all the core officials of Sandie Town directly.
At the same time, this is also Baron Lunit's statement to Willy that he brought all the core of Sanddie Town to White Bear Town, which is his respect and trust for Baron Willy.
After all, in the era of independent lords, when a lord reaches another lord's territory, there is the possibility of going deep into the enemy's camp.
"I've met Baron Lunitt, I'm Sandor, the mayor of White Bear Town."
After the sanddie town side finished the introduction, Sandor also took the initiative to introduce himself and the town office officials behind him to Baron Lunet.
After the two sides got acquainted with each other, Baron Lunet was invited to Willy's drawing room.
Willy and the others sat on one side of the long table in the living room, while Baron Lunet and others sat on the other side.
The waiter in the manor began to put tea and snacks on the table.
"Baron Willy, I was very surprised when I came to White Bear Town."
Baron Lunitt seemed to be chatting, with a tone of envy that could not be concealed: "Although the news of the upheaval has spread, the guards and townspeople of White Bear Town still give me a sense of calm and self-sufficiency. I even said that I also sensed their positivity and progress. It seems that the news of the drastic change in the situation has no impact on White Bear Town, but has prompted them to live more seriously. "
Baron Lunit said this from the bottom of his heart, especially after comparing Sanddie Town, this difference is particularly obvious.
The current Shadie Town, although it has digested the impact of the upheaval news under his own pacification and privately tough measures, Baron Lunet is very clear that the tranquility on the surface of Shadie Town In the middle, there are waves of people's hearts. As long as there is a strong external cause, the calmness of Sandie Town will be completely detonated.
But Baixiong Town is different. The rich material resources and strong military guarantee make the civilians of these Baixiong Town feel at ease from their hearts.
This sense of steadfastness is built on a solid foundation.
And this kind of foundation is something that Baron Lunitt cannot provide to the civilians of Sandie Town.
"Baron Lunite is overrated, but the townspeople of White Bear Town have lived by the sea for a long time and live a comfortable life, so they seem more indifferent."
Willie modestly made an excuse.
"Baron Willy is too humble."
Baron Lunet said with a smile: "When I just arrived at the border of White Bear Town, I was shocked to see the city wall being built. You know, we in Sandie Town are also preparing to build the city wall, but we are still in the process of building the city wall. At the stage of mobilizing resources, manpower and money, it will take some time before the official implementation. However, the boundary wall of White Bear Town has now been constructed in prototype, and this efficiency is really too high."
"It's just one step ahead. In fact, it doesn't matter if the city wall is built sooner or later." Willy responded with a smile, "In the early days of the independent lord era, it was quite calm, at least a year or two. Inside, we should all be at peace with each other. Moreover, we are in the southwest border, far from the palace and the Golden Flower City, so even if the war spreads, we may be affected for a few years at night, so Lu Baron Nate, don't worry about these issues for the time being."
"That being said..."
Suddenly, Baron Lunite's expression changed, showing a sad look, and at the same time, his tone became low: "But the day of turmoil comes, I will come back sooner or later..."
"Sandie Town is not as good as White Bear Town. No matter in terms of prosperity or military strength, it is far behind you. Therefore, I am also very worried. When the chaos really comes, as the lord of Sandie Town, how can I? What to do. Keeping the foundation of the ancestors and protecting the people under his command is a very stressful thing for me."
After that, Baron Lunite looked at Willy: "I hope Baron Willy can show me a way and give me some pointers."
