In this cruel world, everyone is like a floating ephemeral, even aristocrats.
Almost nobility could live beyond fifty years old, and countless people died in battle.
Ellie, who already has three children, has already felt that her death is approaching. Even if it is not this year, it will be in the next decade, outside and inside - the subjects want a strong man to lead them, not a woman.
As the child grows up and becomes stronger, the countless relief, joy, pain, and fear are mixed in tears.
What can escape this result? It seems impossible. At this moment, Fang Xin suddenly realized that this small plane needed a savior and a hero.
Fang Xin was silent while patting Ellie's back gently. After a moment, Ellie stood up. She calmly wiped away her tears, calmly sorted out her clothes, and then said with a smile: "Knight Hannit, what's the matter with you? Why don't we eat and talk while talking?"
"As far as you want, Mrs. Ellie!" Fang Xin bent down and bowed, with a calm and peaceful manner.
Ellie walked forward, trusting her hands, slowly heading towards the tabletop of the hall along the ancient etiquette tradition, the old housekeeper greeted quietly and then saluted.
The one on the table was roast goose. The housekeeper separated half of it. Fang Xin didn't care. He took it and ate it forked. In Hannett's case, this crispy, tender and soft taste was lingering in his memory, but the other party believed that it was just a mere thing.
Even civilians are used to this kind of food in their own world, but even nobles cannot eat it every time.
Ellie ate a little, then looked at Hannet with a smile, and was very satisfied with Butler George - because George knew what she wanted.
In fact, it is impossible for a knight to eat this kind of thing often, so every time he comes, Ellie will make some delicious food for him. Roast goose is Hannett's favorite food. Even without orders, Housekeeper George automatically understands the meaning and makes arrangements.
"Mrs. Ellie, the war is about to begin, I want to make some preparations." Fang Xin said in a low voice.
"Oh, do you want to make those preparations?"
"How many warriors do you have now to fight on horseback?"
"In addition to you and the attendants of Knight Alec, I also have an apprentice, James, and twenty-three attendants of Knight, and mobilize two hundred soldiers." Ellie replied.
"Leave all the attendants to me. I will take one hundred and fifty soldiers away, and I will take them out."
“Take them out?”
"Yes, the war is about to begin. Instead of letting them face the terrifying dark army directly, it is better to let them face wild beasts first and learn how to fight. In this way, the combat power will be improved." Fang Xin ate the last bite of food and said.
Ellie suddenly remained silent, her smile disappeared, and a strange look appeared in her blue eyes. She thought for a while, and after a few minutes, she replied: "Is this the idea you came up with?"
"Yes!" Fang Xin said, looking at her, her eyes as deep as the sea.
After looking at it for a few seconds, Ellie avoided her eyes and said, "This is also a good idea. If you go down, just say what I said, so that all the knight attendants and apprentices will return to their posts. The soldiers will also be divided into 150 people, and the food will be prepared for you."
"I only need to bring rations for ten days. I will solve other things." Fang Xin said decisively, stood up, bowed, and then said, "Please rest assured that everything will be fine."
After Fang Xin left, Butler George stepped forward and said, "Miss, it's very strange..."
"I already know this, I have my own opinions." Ellidu stepped forward, looked up from the upstairs, and fell on Fang Xin who was walking below.
Her eyes were strange and strange.
After a moment, the call of the horn sounded immediately.
Summoning knight attendants, conveying orders, and reorganizing the knight attendants organization. Each knight attendant leads ten soldiers, and the extra ten knight attendants, headed by Fang Xin, form the most elite cavalry team.
When the horn sounded, the apprentice James was scrubbing his own iron pot at home, and his heart was heavy. He certainly understood the war that once every ten years was once, and was thinking. When he suddenly heard the call, his heart trembled.
"James!" His wife rushed out of the house inside, her face pale.
"Don't worry, it's okay, my dear." James said, and there was not much time when both of his knight attendants came, both young men in their twenties.
No one spoke, and quickly brought his armor and tied it on the horse, then led the horse and gathered directly in the square.
When we arrived in the square, many soldiers had already arrived. James saw the leader of the Hannet Knight.
"Knight Hannit, has the war begun?"
"Not yet, but it's almost done. You'd better let the craftsmen repair your armor. There's oil here." Fang Xin looked at him and the horses and said as he ordered.
The knight's armor was sent to the craftsman, and the craftsman immediately wiped away the rust from the armor with a file. A harsh scraping sound followed, and the endothelium was made of precious cowhide, which was also sewn at a critical position.
There were already some veterans who had already divided the white bread and wax intestines with the military chef. Some veterans seemed to be familiar with it. They took it and ate it voraciously. The new recruits looked pale and a little at a loss. They also knew that they were going to fight. Although the snow-white bread was so nervous that they couldn't eat it.
Fang Xin looked at it calmly. At this time, the sky became gloomy. Although the rain was not heavy, the rain was filled with the chill of spring.
After eating, the whole team was full, so naturally the servants went down to arrange it. Batches of weapons were taken out of the warehouse. The craftsmen were busy in the light rain, polishing the weapons one by one, and some even oiled them.
Many veterans took over the weapons, looked carefully, and made requests. At this time, the craftsmen would agree to their requests whenever possible. Some veterans, when they obtained the weapons, danced on the spot in the square. These veterans had to adjust their physical strength and mentality to enter the battle.
Among these veterans, each of them understood what they were going to do, without speaking or morale, and they were already used to killing and fighting.
There were not many sounds in the square. For this world, this was a regular action once a decade. Although there were elderly people, children and even women nearby, they were silent.
"Open the flag!" Fang Xin said so when he saw that everything was ready.
The red lion tooth flag was raised. Fang Xin looked back and accurately met the eyes of the lord Ellie. Then he smiled and gave a knightly gift to her. Then he turned around and said, "Go!"
The cold rain increased, mixed with the fog that had been produced at some point, adding a bit of solemnity to this afternoon.
Chapter completed!
