Chapter 2459 Out of the Jungle 4

 Chapter 2461 "Out of the Jungle" (6)

Georgiana came out with only about 20 guards this time, and they were drunk, so they were attacked by surprise.

But Napoleon once said that a single French soldier is no match for the Mamluks. The musket needs time to reload after being fired once. During this time, if there is no cover, it is easy for the cavalry to approach. The Mamluks also have spears and spears as secondary weapons.

Scimitar... Anyway, the scene was really bloody and not suitable for women and children to watch.

There were pairs of green eyes outside the manor, and she couldn't tell what kind of animal they belonged to. At this time, Raggett raised his pistol and fired a shot in that direction. She didn't know if he hit the railings.

The outside eyes have disappeared.

"I used to hunt with Joseph." Laget said to Georgiana. "I'm going to check on Philippa. You..."

"I can take care of myself." She said calmly.

Laget looked at her for a while, unable to tell what he could see with his white eyes, and then turned and left.

Georgiana took out her wand.

There was no snow on the ground, and the blood dyed the mud red. She smelled the smell of broken grass, and there was also the smell of alcohol. The Mamluks who had drunk looked like a pack of wolves, jumping around.

bite.

Georgiana did not stop them or encourage them. She stepped into the yard and cast a transformation spell on the iron fences, so that the railings that could only be used as barriers turned into sharp barbs facing outwards.

Then she walked towards the door. Whether she was holding on or rushing out, she needed to control the entrance and exit. There were several ragged people occupying the place. At first they were a little nervous when they saw someone approaching, but when they saw her hand

I let my guard down when I saw the "stick" in my hand.

Georgiana's wand is beech. This kind of tree is very common in the Sonian Forest. When Brussels built the city wall, it used local materials. Unlike a willow tree, a beech tree can grow into a big tree after just breaking it and inserting it into the ground.

The wood that has taken root again in the city walls is amazing.

Beech is an excellent hardwood, not only suitable for making furniture but also for making charcoal. After so many years of felling, the Sonian Forest has shrunk a lot, and later afforestation began. However, beech saplings were too expensive, so they were eventually replaced by elephant trees.

.

Who would regard a woman who picked up a branch and pointed it at them as a threat?

Just when Georgiana was about to use an "upside-down golden bell," a horse's neighing suddenly came from the darkness, and then she saw a group of knights rushing out of the woods, knocking down pedestrians on the roadside.

After seeing the situation in the manor, the leading knight blew the siren on horseback. The gatekeepers seemed to be afraid of them and fled one after another.

"Forest guard, put down your weapons immediately!"

However, no one paid any attention to him.

"Hand your gun and don't kill!" the forest guard shouted again.

"I surrender!" said an invader who was defeated by the Mamluks.

"They just won't kill you now, think about those people who were executed alive." Another intruder said.

The intruder who had just been thinking about it seemed to have changed his mind.

"I can spare you from death." Georgiana said at the side.

"Don't listen to that woman's nonsense!"

Georgiana's words seemed to have worked. Some people surrendered one after another, mainly people in ragged clothes. Some people were resisting, but they no longer posed a threat to the Mamluks.

The sneak attack ended as suddenly as it happened, and there was an eerie silence.

"Oh~"

A Mamluk howled.

Immediately afterwards, other Mamluks also began to celebrate their victory.

"I'm going to look into the house," Georgiana said to the cavalryman on horseback.

"I'll go with you." The forest guard dismounted and the two of them headed to the main house together.

After searching for a while, they found Lagot and Philippa. She fell into Lagot's arms and burst into tears in the wine cellar.

"They wanted to kidnap her," Laget said.

"Who are they?" asked Georgiana.

"A pack of beasts," cried Philippa.

"I think... they may want to arrest you." Laget looked at Georgiana and said, "You brought too few guards."

She did not continue to ask questions, but asked Laget to help Philippa up. She wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

Oldham is still a village in the valley, close to Botsford and Watermire. Since the Middle Ages, the Dukes and Earls of Brabantine have used this place as a hunting palace, so it has

A road from Brussels to Botsford.

Later, the Spaniards established the Governor's Palace in Tervuren, and connected Tervuren with Botsford, thus forming a thoroughfare from Brussels to Tervuren.

These three places were originally integrated into one city with expansion, but during the Directory era, the French forcibly divided them into three communes.

Oldham is located between Brussels and Tervuren. If the highway from Brussels to Tervuren is built in the future, transportation will be very convenient. If you don't care about the "lodging people" living in open spaces,

It is indeed a beautiful place with beautiful lakes and mountains, which is very suitable for building a high-end residential area.

There are currently no drawings of the Industrial Exposition Pavilion in Paris, but if the Belgian Industrial Exposition of 1803 can be successful and make boring Europe lively again, this is what the planners Georgiana saw at the castle planned.

After these news spread, the land price in Oldham will probably rise, but it is still a place that no one cares about.

Those "forest guards" who suddenly appeared have existed since the Middle Ages. They were originally the duke's forest guards, responsible for catching poachers. In the 14th century, Duke John III of Brabantine built a castle in the forest.

The moat and prison are specially used to imprison poachers.

A fire in the 16th century destroyed most of the castle, and now only the towers and newly added buildings remain. A National Guard is stationed here, the so-called "Forest Guard".

They usually patrol the forest, and in theory Aldheim is also their jurisdiction, although the trees there have been cut down. These forest guards provided Georgiana with a temporary residence, and also vacated the cells to hold those who surrendered.

of intruders.

Some of these people are wanderers who want to make money, but the mastermind is Baekeland's gang of robbers. Their target is indeed Georgiana, and they plan to kidnap her while her bodyguards are weak. However, the target of the kidnapping is revealed at the last moment.

Mistaken Philippa for Georgiana.

Including those who were shot dead, the bandit gang lost 10 male members. If Baekeland was smart enough, he should take the gold, silver and jewelry he looted and find a place to live incognito.

But his intuition told Georgiana that he would not give up.

She sent a messenger to inform Langhenhofen and Lupe of her current situation, and then think about what to do next.

She said she was thinking, but in fact she found a room to be alone for a while, without thinking about anything.

Pomona's hobby used to be sleeping, but her sleep quality was so good that she had no dreams all night.

Georgiana rubbed her face, and the cold wind mixed with snow numbed her face, making it difficult for her to express any intelligent expression.

Who would like such a woman?

She tried hard to smile, but found that she seemed to have lost her smile.

The death penalty sounds terrible at first, but what if you have to suffer it while alive?

"Go to sleep, you'll be fine after some sleep."

She seemed to hear Albus say this.

This time she wasn't going to disobey him and lie down on the table and sleep, even for a short while? She wanted to sleep for a while before others came, just hoping she wouldn't have nightmares.
