    Section 13 Battle of Starling Town (2)

    On March 8, 1921, the spring rain that had fallen all night did not abate but continued to intensify. The accumulated water on the ground slowly flowed toward the lower ground.  On the wide commercial road, a lot of water accumulated on the uneven road, and on the recessed road, a lot of water gathered together. This made the nobles of Starling Town very entangled, and everyone gathered together to discuss.

    "Your Majesty General, the rain outside is getting heavier and heavier. Judging from the appearance of the clouds, it is possible that it will rain until evening. The roads are now full of water. Although our soldiers and militiamen have rested, the treasures and salutes on our carriages are still there.  But we can¡¯t take it away, so we might as well stay here and rest today!¡±

    "yes!"

    "Agree!"

    "Anyway, Elantra's army can't move on this rainy day, we're afraid of birds!"

    "That makes sense."

    "I agree too."

    ¡­¡­

    Many nobles, including Lu Linsen¡¯s son Lublin, nodded and frowned at the weather outside the window.

    "Your Excellency, you cannot wait like this." General Tutus raised his hand and objected loudly, frowning: "According to the details of how we bribed them and the report just sent by our spies, they came from the west, north, and east.  Nearly 20,000 troops were mobilized in three directions, and the number of troops pursuing us in the rear was more than 10,000. Although we are close to 20,000 people here now, only 5,000 to 7,000 are truly rigorously trained and capable of fighting.  , in this area. Our strength is no match for the Elantra army."

    "Actually, we should have retreated overnight last night, but unfortunately it was delayed by the rain. But now the energy of the brothers has been restored, and the physical strength of our horses has also been restored. Although it rained and the roads were muddy, the threat of the Elantra army was still there.  We should continue to retreat backwards and not waste any more time, otherwise we will be blocked by their troops at any time in the next time."

    "Retreat!"

    "Retreat!"

    "How do you want us to retreat!"

    Starlin Town Baron Slarodin slammed the table angrily, pointed at Tutus loudly and said: "None of us are fools. Of course we all know how powerful the Elant army is, but you haven't considered why we are so stubborn and have to stand still.  , instead of escaping quickly?"

    "Why?"

    Tutus¡¯s guard captain looked at Baron Slarodin in confusion and asked.

    "Why?"

    Baron Slarodin pointed at the warrior and grinned angrily, looked at Tutus and said: "Your Majesty General, do you know how much stuff I packed when I was preparing to move yesterday?"

    Tutus looked at Baron Slarodin in confusion and shook his head.

    Baron Slarodin sneered, looking at Tutus's personal guard captain, he stretched out his finger and said loudly: "After I gave up a lot of bulky things, I also loaded up thirty carriages. Less than half of our family's wealth is in them.  .¡±

    "These carriages are tall and bulky, and they are even more difficult to move in this rainy weather. Young man, do you know our difficulties now?" Baron Slarodin looked at the twenty-four or five-year-old young captain seriously and asked.

    The captain of Tutus's personal guard pointed to the east in confusion and said: "Your Excellency Baron, although you have many carriages and vehicles, what does this wealth mean to the threat to us from the Elant army? What our general means is that everyone can  All the superfluous and unimportant things were discarded in the rear. Our personnel took the main gold coins and silver coins and quickly marched and gathered. In this way, our lives, wealth, and personal safety can be preserved."

    "You bastard! There's nothing unimportant in our carriage."

    Baron Slaraudin pointed at the young guard captain and shouted angrily: "We are all noble nobles, ancient paintings, antiques, swords, armor, nothing is worthless. Even if we bring gold coins with current value  Silver coins cannot be taken away. Do you know that any of you who are doing this have enough gold, silver, and copper coins to fill a carriage weighing hundreds of kilograms. Even if we don¡¯t want anything, it¡¯s okay to retreat in the rain with cash and silver.  It¡¯s difficult to move it, not to mention we have to transport weapons and equipment?¡±

    "So I think retreating in this weather and environment is a serious mistake. We must persist and wait for the arrival of sunny days." Baron Slarodin looked at Viscount Lulinsen and many nobles with bright eyes.

    "well said!"

    Lublin clapped his hands with raised eyebrows, turned around and looked seriously at Viscount Lulinsen, who was sitting in the center, and said: "Father, I very much agree with Baron Slarodin. Our family's numerous wealth cannot be given up!"

      "Yes!"

    "Our treasure cannot be given up."

    "Giving up the wealth accumulated by the family is equivalent to killing us. The reason why we are nobles and noble to others is because we have family industries and gold and silver assets. If we lose these, then we will really have nothing."

    ¡°Resolutely support Baron Slarodin.¡±

    "We will never run away!"

    ¡°Never give up wealth!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Many knights, knights, and barons shouted together, resolutely expressing their attitudes to Lu Linsen.  Lu Linsen sat on the sheepskin chair with a frown on his face, banging his fingers on the table, his face twisted and his eyes closed as he thought.

    Many nobles looked at Lu Linsen anxiously. Tutus and Heifer were more anxious than the others. The time passed by for two or three minutes. After careful consideration, Lu Linsen finally opened his eyes and stood up. He looked at everyone and said seriously.  :

    "General Tutus's words are very reasonable, and Baron Slarodin's words are even more reasonable. Our wealth must not be discarded, and our life safety is as precious as our future and destiny and cannot be given up. My decision is that our main army still has  There are retinue troops staying in the town to take shelter from the rain, and those slaves and servants will be driven by our soldiers towards the city of Tamira with silver coins, important treasures that are not afraid of rain."

    "At the same time, I will write to Viscount Tarsos and General Tarsola in the city of Tamira and ask them to send troops to meet us."

    "Now I order everyone here to immediately use slaves to carry the goods. At the same time, I order everyone to dig trenches around the town, cut down trees, build earthen walls, and strengthen the town's defense."

    "ah!"

    "The Viscount is so thoughtful!"

    "yes!"

    ¡­¡­

    Many nobles, including Tutus, Heifer nodded with satisfaction and went to do what they wanted to do.

    At this time, it was around 8 o'clock. In the headquarters of the Elantra Army in Stubb Village, Lin Fenghan pointed at the map seriously and said: "The war is about to begin. In a moment, Rana will attack the left, and Davou will lead the attack in the middle.  Muse will lead the attack on the right, and I will sit in the rear and take command."
