"Lord Baron, wake up quickly! The enemy is about to catch up. Where should we retreat?" On the hill, an old man in brown clothes eagerly shook the unconscious young man on the carriage. The clothes around him More than thirty soldiers with embarrassed expressions loyally guarded the carriage.
"Stop shaking it, where is this place?" Lin Fenghan drowsily touched his bandaged head and said hazily. He remembered that he went home to sleep in a daze, and woke up in a strange environment. Maybe this was a dream, Lin Fenghan rubbed his eyes in confusion.
"Lord Baron, it's so good that you finally woke up. I almost thought I would never see you again. If you die, how can I explain to the dead Baron that the glory of the Elant family cannot be cut off in my lifetime!" The old man held the young man's hand with joy and tears, and cried with excitement.
"Lord Baron? Descendant of Huangshi people Lin Fenghan*Elante? Baron Yiliuyun*Elante? Territory? I am" Lin Fenghan was stunned when he heard the strange title. Suddenly something seemed to explode in his mind, and one scene after another appeared. Flashing in his mind, layer after layer of mysteries slowly made him understand where he was.
"Ah!" Lin Fenghan suddenly held his head in pain. The continuous pain made him stop recalling. This kind of pain was several times more intense than the pain after gas poisoning before.
"Baron?"
"Baron?"
¡The old man and the soldier quickly pulled Lin Fenghan and shouted loudly.
After a while, Lin Fenghan sat up from the carriage with a pale face. Looking at the people around him who were looking at him with concern, he patted his forehead in disbelief and said confusedly: "Don't worry about me, everyone. I just got up from my horse and fell to the ground and hit my head. Now I'm much better. This time my father The sudden sacrifice and deprivation of the Elant family's glory and territory is definitely a conspiracy, and I would like to thank everyone who can bear the storm with me."
Lin Fenghan shook his head mockingly, sighing inwardly that he would just take care of himself. Then he stepped out of the carriage with a solemn expression and bowed affectionately to the more than thirty loyal soldiers around him.
"Baron, how can you bow to us because of your noble status? Please get up quickly." The old man and the surrounding soldiers looked at Lin Fenghan in panic and emotion, and hurriedly shouted.
"No! All living beings in this world are equal, and you and I are actually the same. Duke Brant has joined the Parliament of Nobles and is planning to deprive the Elant family of their title. It is very likely that I will no longer be a baron."
"But I will never give up the opportunity for revenge. Although his Sir Bertand has led more than 2,000 people to take away my castle, we still have power."
"Although we suffered a sudden blow in the battle just now, we relied on the strong castle to give them a heavy blow. Now they have injured more than 4500 people. Although our side was guarding more than 300 defenders, they fled when the city was broken. , However, we still have many troops in Haisha City and Hailan City. As long as we escape there, we can still gather strength to fight back against them." Lin Fenghan stood beside the carriage and explained the current situation to the loyal guards of the Elant family with a firm expression. .
After a pause, Lin Fenghan walked to the middle of the crowd and started drawing on the ground.
"The Elante family has been established for more than two hundred years. It has been governed by my ancestors for generations. In addition, it is located in the sea, east of the continental circle route. It has a beautiful environment and fertile fields. The seven surrounding islands add up to a usable area of ??570. With more than 20,000 square kilometers and a population of nearly 20,000, the Elante Islands are very prosperous.¡±
"But our wealth attracted the attention of bandits. Duke Brant was dissatisfied with his barren territory and assassinated my father in the battle with the pirates last month, causing the family to lose more than three hundred elite soldiers. and a fleet of five medium-flag ships, but the accumulated wealth and strength of the Elante family definitely exceeded his surprise. During the retreat just now, I have sealed the treasury of the family's castle and the secret passage connecting the inside and outside. Now we have to do The best thing to do is to advance to the east, gather there to recruit soldiers of House Elante, and then attack Sir Bertand."
"There is no need to panic now. Four Elant family warships have gathered at the seaport ahead. Although we unfortunately suffered a large-scale blow in the early stage, we will soon win!"
"That's it! The baron is wise!" The soldiers nodded in realization. The mournful atmosphere quickly dissipated, and the hope of victory restored the morale of the defeated soldiers.
"yes!"
¡¡
Lin Fenghan nodded with satisfaction and looked at the soldiers who showed smiles and hope, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's keep moving forward!"
The butler Myrtle Jacques quietly rode to the carriage, touched his white beard, lowered his head and said to Lin Fenghan in a low voice: "Baron, according to the information just received, the Brandt family has bribed five of your knights, two port town mayors, the finance minister Except for the small villagers, security guards, tax collectors, town guards and other small figures who have not bribed, everyone else is more or less likely to betray. It is really difficult for us to counterattack and restore the glory of the Elant family. .¡±
Lin Fenghan's expression condensed, and he said with a cold look in his eyes: "Yes! I understand, it seems that Duke Brant's layout for the Elante family is not a matter of a day or two."
"Although he can buy so many villains with money, as long as we act quickly and get rid of those spies as fast as possible, we can still win."
"What a great idea, Baron. The Elante Family Guards and I will definitely support you." A trace of relief flashed in Motel's eyes, and he said firmly to Lin Fenghan.
"Grandpa Motel, I really thank you. Don't call me Baron in private. Just call me Lin Fenghan. The carriage is very big, so you can come up too!" Lin Fenghan smiled movedly, Looking at the old man whose hair was half white, he was moved and pulled the old man into the carriage.
Hiss!
Mark!
¡¡
Suddenly, there was a sound of horses neighing.
"Enemy attack!"
"Protect the Baron."
¡The soldiers beside the carriage instinctively listened to the footsteps. The spearmen automatically turned around and pointed their guns forward. To the left and right of the swordsmen, the archers stood behind the spearmen and nervously pulled up the bowstring.
A plume of smoke quickly appeared behind the road, and the neighing of war horses continued to be heard. Lin Fenghan stood nervously on the carriage and nodded with satisfaction to the soldiers below. In the past, I played a lot of strategy games such as Total War, Red Alert, Warcraft and other series. I also played various books such as Biographies of Greek and Roman Celebrities, Chronicles of the Gallic Wars, Civil War, The Complete Book of World Military History, The Prince, Thirty-six Strategies, He has read a lot of general history of the world, the Long March he has some of his own insights into administrative management and leading troops in war.
"Is that you, Lord Baron?" A honest voice came from behind, and a bearded knight in his thirties or forties wearing armor slowly walked out in the smoke.
"Knight Commander Corland, is that you? I thought you were dead?" Motel happily jumped down from the carriage and looked at the knight in front of him in surprise.
"Knight Commander Corland!" Lin Fenghan also trembled in his heart and relaxed, and the previous memories kept coming back.
"Lord Baron, steward, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission. I led more than fifty brothers from the cavalry battalion to block and lead the way. Although twenty brothers were sacrificed and separated, the delay successfully confused the pursuing soldiers. We have a close range. More than three hundred brothers have already escaped and are gathering at the predetermined gathering point, Haisha Port. As soon as they arrive at the port, Lord Baron will see them." Corland smiled tiredly, got off his horse tiredly, and happily walked toward Lin Fenghan walked away.
"Knight Colander, I thank you very much." Lin Fenghan stepped out of the carriage gratefully, looked at the many cavalry slowly gathering, walked solemnly into the crowd, and said loudly:
"Brothers! I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Elante family."
"Although some of our brothers unfortunately died, God will bless these loyal and brave people in heaven. Their deeds are worthy of our admiration and praise."
"When I arrive in Haisha City, every brother who fights here will receive my sincere gratitude. In the future, I will never miss my land, wealth, and glory. I will give these things to everyone. A brother who truly cares for me."
"I swear to God here! No matter whether I get through this difficulty or not, I am willing to share the blessings and hardships with my brothers!"
The soldiers looked at Lin Fenghan¡¯s sincere face in shock, and they were moved and shouted one after another.
"Long live the Baron!"
"Long live Elantra!"
¡°Swear to protect Elantra to the death!¡±
¡¡
"The military spirit is usable! The Elante family has a good foundation for two hundred years. With so many loyal warriors and such wise lords, there is no need to worry about it." Kelande looked at the soldiers waving and shouting around him and said with sincerity.
"Uncle Corland, how many cavalry do we have now?" Lin Fenghan carefully counted the number of people and found that there were only more than 20 cavalry around him. He asked Knight Commander Corland doubtfully.
"Baron, we have more than fifty cavalry in total on this island plus the cavalry that went to gather. Now I have a small group of twenty cavalry with me. I have calculated that after the round, we will have fifty cavalry. There were nearly 400 infantrymen, including more than 100 regular soldiers.There are more than 100 town garrison troops and more than 200 militiamen. Their combat effectiveness is not very good. But as long as they are properly commanded and protect Haisha City and Hailan City in Xili Island, it will still be possible. "Kelan shook his head in despair, thinking seriously about the strength of the troops.
"It's not possible, but necessary. Knight Corland, you have to believe in yourself, we still have the courage!" Field, coal field." Lin Fenghan smiled slightly and looked at Corland confidently.
"You're talking about the countless slaves on the Sili Island Salt Flats, which are the property of several big families in the south! Are you not afraid of offending them? Even if you are not afraid of offending them. Even if you are not afraid of offending the nobles, the slaves hate the lords very much. With the nobles, is there any way you can gain the loyalty of those slaves?" Kelande looked at Lin Fenghan in surprise and asked in puzzlement.
Lin Fenghan smiled slightly, turned around and looked at the sky, and said softly: "When I get there, I will show it to you. What's more, the Elant family is about to be expelled, and the glory of the territory will disappear. I must seize every opportunity to get it. victory."
"Keland, you will see the glory of victory."
Ke Lande looked at Lin Fenghan in shock and said seriously: "Yi Liuyun, I never thought that you would be so wise after becoming a baron. Disasters can indeed make people grow their character. I see hope in you. Light."
After a pause, Keland solemnly lowered his head and half-knelt, and said solemnly: "I, Keland, have been favored by your Elant family throughout my life, and now I will continue to be loyal to the heir of the Elant family - you, Yiliuyun* Elant. Your Excellency. From now on, Colander will be the spear and sword in your hands. He will accompany you to fight until the last moment of time, until you die of old age and the end of life."
"I, Lin Fenghan, Yiliuyun*Elantra, the heir of the Yilante family accept your allegiance. I will bring you happiness and glory until the end of my life." Lin Fenghan gently patted Ke Lande's thick Shoulders, solemn Su said. Suddenly, his head hurt again, and Lin Fenghan walked towards the carriage with difficulty.
"Kelander, have you noticed? Lin Fenghan has changed since he woke up from coma!" Motel looked at Lin Fenghan's back and said softly to Kelander, who was half-kneeling and standing up.
"Yes! God bless the Elante family. Lin Fenghan has become wiser and smarter. I plan to protect him to Haisha City, and then go to the northern continent to become a wandering knight. Now it seems that the favor of the Elante family can never be repaid. I can follow him for the rest of my life.¡±
"Yes! We have benefited from the Elant family since we were young, and we must fight against the former's kindness. I saw kindness, simplicity, justice, and compassion in him. I hope that the Elant family can flourish in his hands, and we can also enjoy the glory. Wealth, if you can become a noble or an administrator, then it would be better."
"Haha! I thought so too." Colander and Motel smiled at each other and walked forward slowly.
