Chapter 75
At this moment, the entire Wat Fortress was full of joy, but the two commanders Ferrara and Fedo were frowning. This battle in the northwest exposed all the incidents of their deducting military pay and embezzling military supplies. A few days ago, because the Luoyantar army besieged the city, Ruben did not dare to do anything to them in order to stabilize the morale of the army, but the enemy has been beaten away now. The two of them really didn't know whether they should be happy or unhappy.
Once Luo Yantar breaks the city, they will naturally be all over. I heard that the murderous demon king never leaves prisoners. He has accumulated so much property and all belongs to the grassland demon. He is afraid that his beautiful wife and concubines at home will be cheaper.
The city siege was lifted at this moment, I am afraid that the time to settle the accounts after autumn will come.
The garrison Feduo is a fool, but Ferrara is a powerful character. When his subordinates report to the Duke to agree to the banquet, the two of them feel a little calmer.
Ruben was not afraid of being defeated in the northwest, and he, the commander of the legion, had not had a few days left. It was not his turn to settle the score in the autumn, but the new Duke of Tulips a little uneasy. Ferrara was a viscount after all, and he had some background and knew a little about the Duke of Tulips. I heard that when this young Duke was in the imperial capital, he was also a famous playboy. He liked wine, beautiful women, singing and dancing, and even a fellow disciple. I think as long as he sat on his own, he might not be really selfless and slaughtered himself?
Ferrara thought a little more. Since this Duke was the special envoy appointed by His Majesty, he could basically be regarded as the number one person in the northwest. As long as he wins over, he will be blamed for the defeat on Ruben's reckless man, and even if he is suppressed by the imperial capital, things will probably not be overwhelmed.
Besides, the Imperial Capital will never sit idly by and care about his own destruction. After all, the annual income of millions of gold coins is earned! The man from the Imperial Capital takes half of it alone! The problem now is the young duke. Unexpectedly, he would defeat Luo Yantar as soon as he came. Ferrara was worried at first that he might be a powerful character. However, when he heard that he agreed to attend the banquet, the heart that had originally been hanging was finally let go. There is no wonder that the Tulip Family will win battles. As long as he likes those tones, he will not be afraid of no breakthrough!
After some discussion, these two people just didn't know what to use to impress the Duke. Qian family is not short of it. The Duke has his own territory. I just heard that this person was a seed of wind when he was in the imperial capital, and it seemed that he was going to attack the woman. Ferrara immediately said something to Feiduo. After hearing this, Feiduo's face hurt, but then Ferrara glared at her eyes, and Ferrara immediately softened. If he couldn't pass this level, his life would be gone, and what's the use of guarding that treasure? And depending on the situation, if things were to be irreversible and when the matter was lost and the person in the imperial capital would naturally not sacrifice. Ferrara was a viscount nobleman and had a certain background behind him. Then the pawns who were sacrificed at that time would probably be themselves.
At this time, he couldn't help but refuse to agree.
In the evening, a dinner to celebrate victory was grandly held in a noble manor in Watt Fortress.
After the fall of the northwest, after the nobles from all over the country fled, many people finally fled to Watt Fortress with their family and property. Some people ran to the hinterland of the empire from here, and some people ran slowly and were trapped here. At this moment, the danger was lifted. Naturally, these well-known people were indispensable for such dinners.
Ferrara also spent a lot of effort to prepare for this dinner. Although it was during the war, the people of Trier Castle naturally ignored it when he fled, but his family's property was loaded with more than a dozen carriages. Most of the other nobles were like this. Some even fled with their families, even the chefs of the band were brought. After some preparation, they were all ready.
On the lawn of this manor, in the wonderful serenade, the beautiful figures dressed in ink were passing through, and many women were even more charming. I heard that the young Duke was coming to participate, and I heard that the Duke was not married yet! This is definitely good news! Among the wealthy families in the northwest, everyone who has a beautiful daughter would want to dress up like a princess. If there is no daughter at home, a distant niece would immediately recognize her as a daughter and bring her. As for those who don’t even have a niece, they had to sigh to the sky.
For a moment, the lawn was full of colorful flowers, which made the young nobles around him secretly unhappy. Tonight's grand event had never been fought in the northwest. These young men who had long been depressed were waiting to have fun tonight. They saw the beauties in the garden, and they went up to chat with him, but none of them were willing to pay attention to him. They stretched their necks and looked at the door. Even those secret lovers who had some relationship with him on weekdays thought they were flies at this moment, and the expression on their faces wanted to slap themselves outside the city gate with one hand.
Ferrara and Ferrara stood at the gate of the garden, feeling uneasy, holding a wine glass in their hands and smiling bitterly, success or failure will be a hit tonight. Ferrara also took a special look at the woods behind, which was a secret weapon they prepared!
Suddenly, I heard the waiter in the distance whisper loudly: "Sir Duke is here!"
The garden was immediately panicked, and everyone lined up to meet the door, and the girls even quarreled for some more favorable positions.
Only a neat sound of "小小小小" leather boots were heard, and then a group of soldiers wearing the uniform of the Central Cavalry Legion walked into the garden. The officer in charge had a murderous look on his face, and his cold eyes were casually swept around. Then he stood on one side, ignored everyone's surprised gaze, and shouted in a low voice: "Line!"
A group of soldiers immediately stood on both sides, and the rude soldiers ignored the aristocratic ladies' curses and pushed them to the side. Then, when the sound of leather boots was heard, the referendum walked in slowly.
Everyone was stunned. The duke was dressed in military uniform and actually had a huge sabre under his waist. I don’t know whether the leather armor on his body was intentional or unintentional, but there were faint blood marks on it.
At this moment, everyone in the audience was wearing aristocratic dress, so how could he dress up like this to attend the banquet? Ferrara and the others could only step forward and make some politeness.
Roddy didn't say much, and responded casually, and walked slowly into the field as they slowly walked into the field. Behind him, the captain of the personal soldiers led four soldiers like wolves and tigers to keep pace. The nobles around who saw the Duke attending the banquet were originally surrounded like flies. Before he could say the flattery words in his mind for a long time, they were pushed one meter away by the soldiers. No matter what kind of wealthy businessman or the viscount baron the other party was, they were even timid noble ladies, and they were ruthless.
Everyone had no choice but to stand far away and talk. For a moment, "The great man is wise and powerful, and the pillar of the empire!" "The great man is well-known and is a model of the imperial army." "The great man will win the flag and will surely travel thousands of miles in the future!" These words that have been brewing for a long time are expressed one after another. However, the flattery is often mixed with a few "ahhhhh" screams when driven away by those soldiers, which is really a bit inappropriate.
Everyone learned their lessons and did not dare to rush towards Roddy anymore. But those who were originally prepared to pretend to be sincere and sincere in front of the Duke, shouting out a few meters away, which was really a bit uncomfortable. Even the few tears of excitement that had been brewed, I don’t know if they should squeeze out the tears - they were so far away, can the lord see it?
Ferrara's face was stiff and she could only lead Roddy to the seat next to the yard.
I have to admire the skills of these nobles in the romance and moon. At this moment, there was a shortage of supplies in the Watt Fortress, but they held the banquet in a colorful way. Although they could not get the exquisite food for a while, they still set up a huge oven in the middle of the yard with an iron fork on it.
Under the fire, the barbecue sounded and floated over from afar.
Several subordinates quickly cut off a few pieces of meat from the lamb leg and sent it over. Ferrara immediately pushed up a smile and said, "Duke, this is the special roasted lamb in the Great Moon Kingdom. It is managed by a famous chef in the northwest, but it is a wonderful feature here. I believe that the adults must have never tried it in the imperial capital..."
Roddy nodded, took a small sterling silver table knife handed by a waiter next to him, cut it on the mutton a few times, and showed an impatient look on his face, and deliberately said angrily: "Damn it! This knife is not fast!" Hula pulled out the one-meter-long sword below his waist, cut the lamb legs and mutton in front of him into several pieces, then smiled on his face, and with a casual "snatch" sound, he inserted a bright saber into the table of high-quality wood worth twenty gold coins...
Everyone was crying or laughing, but they just stared at the young duke in a daze. After a while, a clever guy suddenly shouted loudly: "My deeds are easy, and they don't deviate from the style of a general!" As soon as this sentence was released, it immediately reminded everyone that there was another wave of flattery. Some people secretly hated that they were slow to see the opportunity, and were taken first by others, and they tried their best to please them.
Roddy then smiled a little on her face, and slowly raised her glass toast her frequently. After winking, the personal soldiers around her pushed them aside.
The atmosphere finally became harmonious. Several nobles walked forward with courage, but did not see the soldiers coming up to stop them again. The people behind them immediately surrounded him. For a moment, they shook hands, hugged and saluted. Roddy responded lukewarmly, just saying some polite words, and the others toasted him, but they did not mention the war in the Northwest. Ferrara breathed a sigh of relief. He was originally a nobleman and had been in the imperial capital. He talked with Roddy about some scenery and anecdotes of the imperial capital and some nobles.
The wind, flowers, snow and moon. When talking about the cruelty and fierceness of Luo Yantar in the Great Moon Kingdom, the nobles around them all responded, and then loudly praised the Duke for using troops as if they were gods and defeated the demon king on the grassland in the first battle. When talking about Luo Yantar's burning, killing and looting in the northwest, many nobles were even more excited and burst into tears, looking grateful to Roddy for saving them from the fire and water. When talking about the cholera brought to the northwest by the Great Moon Kingdom, these nobles were cursing and complaining about their property losses in this war.
Roddy smiled slightly and comforted everyone, saying that the more you protect the northwest of the empire, the more loyal you are to the empire. Everyone immediately agreed, and wanted to exaggerate their losses ten times to show their loyalty to the empire.
When a nobleman shouted how he bravely organized his servants to pick up swords and fight the enemy to the death when he was defeated. If he fought to the last person, if he was strong and unyielding in the face of a strong enemy, Roddy sneered on his face and said slowly without rushing and slowly: "Very good and very good."
As soon as these words were said, the whole audience was filled with excitement, and they all talked about how they fought against the powerful enemy in blood, how they were strong and unyielding after they were defeated, how they fought bloodyly with the empire after "retreating" to Watt Fortress. They only asked to leave the city to fight against the powerful enemy several times, but were restricted by Ruben's perseverance order. If there were no perseverance orders, they would have rushed out with their subordinates to serve their country with death.
Roddy heard it one by one and just smiled from time to time, "Very good. When everyone finally couldn't make up new words and his voice gradually faded, Roddy slowly said, "I have fully understood your loyalty. I am dedicated to serving the country. I admire you very much! However, although the enemy is retreating now, you still have a place to play your mind to serve the country! Today I will lead the army to counterattack Luo Yantar! Since you have the intention to kill the enemy, I will definitely give you a chance! This way, this counterattack, it's better to choose from you to join the vanguard team. Those who just wanted to fight can sign up at the garrison mansion tomorrow! I will definitely satisfy your determination to kill the enemy!"
As soon as these words were said, the audience was silent immediately. Roddy glanced coldly and said unhappily: "What's wrong? Is your loyalty only on your mouth?"
Ferrara was sweating profusely, and used a wink at Ferrara, then smiled bitterly: "Sir, today is a celebration dinner. As for killing the enemy, it is better to talk about it another day. I believe that you are all loyal Your Majesty. As long as you give an order, we will definitely die!"
Everyone thought it was, but the sound sounded relatively low compared to the passionate crowd in front of them.
Roddy stopped talking, then changed the subject and asked about the customs and customs of the northwest at will, which slowed down the atmosphere.
At this time, Fei Duoyi smiled like a flower, grabbed Roddy and whispered: "Sir, the woods behind this yard are quite landscaped. The trees in the garden are all top-quality red-leaf maple trees transported from the south wind, which are rare in the northwest! You might as well go and take a look."
"Oh?" Roddy frowned, then followed Fedo to the woods behind him.
As soon as he walked to the edge of the woods, a figure suddenly came out of the woods and hurriedly rushed into Roddy's arms. He only smelled a gust of fragrant wind swelled in his face. Roddy subconsciously reached out and made a soft move. He heard a delicate voice in his ears: "Oh!"
The voice was obviously filled with a bit of pain. Looking at it, a young woman had fallen into Roddy's arms. She looked at Roddy with a pair of autumn-like eyes, and a delicate arm naturally hooked Roddy's neck. She was panting, and her face was a little shy and timid.
"Sir, I accidentally bumped into the Sir...I..." Speaking of this, I gently showed a row of neatly broken jade-like teeth, bit my lips gently, and showed a panic expression on my face, but my eyes showed a seductive look.
"Who are you?" Roddy immediately let go of her.
"Sir, I'm...Oh..." The woman had just stood up, but her feet became soft and fell into Roddy's arms. Roddy's face turned red: "What's wrong?"
"Foot... it seems like my feet are twisted." The woman leaned gently on Roddy's chest, her voice extremely charming.
Roddy frowned, then turned around and winked at the captain behind him: "This lady has twisted her feet, you can help her down!"
With a command, two thick soldiers walked up stalking, without any sympathy at all. They pulled the woman out of Roddy's arms, and then pulled her left hand and the other right hand, regardless of the woman's screams, dragged her down.
"What else have you prepared?" Roddy gave Ferrara and Ferdo a cold look. The two were sweating profusely and their faces were pale.
Roddy suddenly smiled slightly and lowered her voice, "I appreciate the kindness of both of you! But do you know why I am not happy?"
"Hmph." Roddy didn't wait for them to answer and smiled, "The war is imminent at this moment, what is it like like this? If I take the lead in enjoying myself, how can I lead the troops? How to fight? I understand the kindness of the two of you. But next time I do this, I have to look at the time and occasion. Some things should not be done so obviously, so that so many people can see it. Do you understand?"
Ferrara immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The scared soul finally got possessed. She quickly wiped her sweat and smiled bitterly: "Yes, yes, yes, it's my subordinates who did it too recklessly! Sir, please forgive me!"
Roddy smiled slightly, then said seriously: "I'm here to find you tonight, there is something else to do."
"Sir, just give me orders!" Seeing that things had turned around, Ferrara immediately nodded and said.
"Okay." Roddy pretended to ponder for a moment and said lightly: "Let's find a place to talk slowly!"
`
Just as Wat Fortress was celebrating the victory in the whole city, Luo Yantar, who retreated to the important town of Mudan, cut the six captains of the scouts and the scouts into seven or eight pieces in front of his generals.
Luo Yantar was really heartbroken. He siege the city without regard to losses, and lost nearly 40,000 infantry in one battle - for him, infantry is much more important than cavalry. The grassland has never lacked cavalry. As long as he ordered, 100,000 strong grassland men could immediately get on horseback and become brave knights. These aliens who grew up on horseback were born excellent riders and had used scimitars since childhood. But they all had a fatal weakness - without horses, these grassland warriors seemed not to fight!
Luo Yantar spent a year, with the help of the secret envoy from the Roland Continent, barely training tens of thousands of infantry. As a result, when victory was in sight, a large group of enemy cavalry suddenly emerged from behind! And according to the return, it was the Central Cavalry Legion, the elite imperial crimes! What's even more amazing is that the commander of the opponent was actually Duke of Tulip!
On the mainland, who doesn’t know the three words “tulip”? Back then, the “Thunder Whip” under the tulip flag conquered their nation with iron-blooded wrists! For the aliens on the grassland, the three words “tulip” are not only a shame, but also a nightmare!
In this battle, Luo Yantar lost 40,000 people! Two thousand of them were lost when siegeing the city, that would be fine. However, as soon as the tulip battle flag of the empire arrived, his army was defeated. He was killed from the back and to the front by the opponent. During the battle, the infantry lost tens of thousands of people, of which only a few thousand were killed by the charge of the Thunder Whip, and most of the remaining ones were trampled to death in the defeat! How could this make Luo Yantar not angry?
What's even more annoying is the special envoy of the Roland Continent! He actually walked away without saying a word when he saw his retreat. The Knights that he brought nearly 10,000 under his command ran away silently! Seeing that he was defeated, they looked like they were completely unrelated!
But Luo Yantar did not dare to turn against the other party. He knew the strength of the damn Roland Continental envoy. If he drew his sword at him, he would probably die! Although that guy had never seen anyone attacking him after he came, he often inadvertently revealed aura, which made Luo Yantar, who had been accustomed to dealing with wolves on the grassland since he was a child, was deeply afraid!
Luo Yantar fought with the empire for so long and had seen many so-called high-level warriors in the empire, but no one has ever brought such deep vigilance to Luo Yantar.
When he retreated to Mudan's important town, Luo Yantar was furious and once drew his sword toward the other party, but the special envoy from the Roland Continent just glanced at him coldly. The cold eyes actually made Luo Yantar feel cold...
It was an absolutely contemptuous look, from that look, from the ridicule and disdain for him overestimating his abilities. That look was like a lion watching an ant with teeth and claws at him...
In the dark night, in a barracks in Mudan's important town, he put down his pen and rolled up a small creed in front of him. Then he grabbed the Liaoying on an iron frame at the window and gently stuffed the paper roll into a small metal ring tied to the Liaoying's legs. Then, he let go of his hand, Liaoying flapped his wings and flew out of the window.
"The tulip battle flag reappears...things have really become complicated..." The man sighed softly, and a meaningful gaze flashed in his eyes on his veiled face-
