57 Mascot

In an instant, it was November 1495. Historically, Hungary and Austria had to fight one another. However, because Marin presented 1,000 war horses and 3,000 plate armor. In addition, because of Marin's hero story, Austria's military strength has increased a lot. The empire's glorious record of defeating the French in Italy made the Hungarians afraid to do anything with Austria. Then, a conflict that should have happened was wiped out. Probably, this is the change that Marin fanned butterfly wings.

The Austrians were also unable to attack Hungary because of insufficient financial resources. Although Austria captured 2000 French captives, it was worth a lot of ransom. But the ransom, the emperor is still waiting for the French to come to negotiate. The King of France, Charles VIII, had just returned to his country at this time and was shocked. First, he had to explain the failure to the domestic nobility. Otherwise, even the king has no good fruit to eat. Of course, France is a country with concentrated royal power, and its royal prestige is relatively high. If the emperor dares to fight such a big defeat, chances are that the emperors will want to abolish the emperor, and choose another ...

When Charles VIII sends someone to Vienna to negotiate a ransom and pay the ransom, it is estimated that it will take several months. Therefore, the emperor currently does not have enough financial resources to support the offensive operations against the Hungarians. As a result, there was a rare calm between Austria and Hungary.

At the Huffman estate in Bochum, "Young Hero" Marin felt very hard at the moment. He originally planned to rush to Texel early, but was left by the old Huffman.

Why did the old Huffman keep him? Take him out to show off ...

In order to show himself as the son of the baron, the old Huffman often banquets and invites his old friends to eat and drink. By the way, pull Marin out as a model and show it off ...

The old Huffman is an old knight in Markbo, and the friends he knows are naturally also knights. The so-called "things are grouped together, people are grouped", and the old Huffman friends are generally knights from the nearby knights. He could not climb the baron and higher nobles, and he did not despise the civilians. So, those who meet the old Huffman are the Cavaliers. Of course, there are some children of the Cavaliers family, the ones without the title, are old Huffman's young friends.

The old Huffman had a brother called Juler. However, when he was an adult, he was kicked out of the house by Old Huffman's dad. Later, I heard that Jules went to the Teutonic Knights in Poland as a Teutonic Knight. However, the Teutonic Knights and the Mack Kingdoms were far apart. The old Huffman hadn't heard of his brother for two decades, nor did he know whether it was life or death.

On Madame Mary's side, her relatives died almost because of the East Frisian rebellion. Therefore, there are no relatives.

The old Huffman couple, only a cousin of the old Huffman, the Knights of Renel. So, the old Huffman first invited his cousin Lenel, asked him to eat and drink, and showed his baron son by the way ...

The Renell Knights lived north of Markborough, while the old Huffman was south of Markborough (Markborough has territory south of the Ruhr River). Transportation was inconvenient in the Middle Ages, so the cousins ​​didn't come and go often. Only the event of marriage and funeral will invite each other.

Renell didn't know about Marin's title as a baron. When Marin wore a baron robe made of Wari silk, he brought a newly designed family crest, a white shield with a square black cross (this Like the coat of arms of the Patriarchate of Cologne, but the black cross of the Patriarchate of Cologne is thin and elongated, while the black cross of Marin is square, the same shape as the Red Cross of the Red Cross).

Renell didn't know it, thinking Marin was playing cosplay, so he teased:

"Little Marlin, why are you wearing this costume? You want to be a baron? But you have to be a knight first!" Renell knows that the old Huffman knight collar must be the successor of Adler ,

Marin, 17, has to leave home to look for opportunities after turning 18.

"Council Lenel, this is my own robe, the emperor rewarded it!" Marin said depressedly. Obviously his own robe and badge, but this cousin was used as the costume of the act ...

"Ha ha ha ha, little Marin, you sing this play very well, and I will reward you with a one-handed sword." Renell obviously made Marin amused.

"Haha, Lenel, don't you know now? Our family, Marin, took part in the Italian war and defeated the French with his troops. So, he was really baroned by the emperor!" Lao Huffman laughed happily.

"Cousin, are you kidding me too? Do your family like acting?"

"Hey, do you see that camp west of the manor?" Old Huffman knew Lenel was unbelieving and decided to show him some "dry goods" ...

"What's wrong?" Renell followed the old Huffman curiously to the camp of 400 men under Marine ...

Seeing the old Huffman and Marin coming over, the 400 men who were still resting and eating stood up, raised their right hands, and performed a Roman military salute:

"Hi Lord Baron!"

Marin also held back a hand gesture:

"Have a break, soldiers! Don't worry about us, we just come to see, you can continue to eat."

"Yes, sir!" Lieutenant General Schwartz replied immediately.

Although, in private, everyone calls Marin the boss, in front of people, they still need to be called "adults."

Renell looked at the neatly moving 400 soldiers, and his mouth grew up in surprise:

"Cousin, are you going to rebel? Gather so many soldiers ..."

"Lenel, I told you everything. This is Marin's men. These people are all accompanying him to the Italian battlefield. They are all meritorious soldiers."

"Really?"

"Crap, when did I lie?" Old Huffman was a little unhappy.

Lenel Knight thought for a while that his cousin had always been an old-fashioned man, and he had never lied to anyone ...

Then, his tiger's body trembled, and then trembled ...

"Little Marlin, you ... you ... are you really a baron?"

"Is there a fake?" Marin said helplessly.

Then, Lenel began to surround Marin, looking up and down, looking left and right ... as if watching a panda, as if looking at a mascot ... With that look, Marin was very uncomfortable ...

The old Huffman, with his head raised, hummed proudly ...

...

More than this time, after Lenel's departure, the old Huffman invited many knights who had made good with him. Even some knights who just nodded were invited. The purpose is to show off ...

Then, sadly Marin had to come out again and again to act as a mascot, giving the muscled German knights a strong crowd. Even more tragic is that sometimes these guys will pinch Marin and feel what it is like to pinch the baron ...
