As a lower-level soldier, Eaton has also come into contact with some nobles. In his impression, the nobles are all arrogant and very passionate about power. This viscount should have deprived himself of his command rights as soon as he arrived.
It's only right to capture the entire army in your own hands.
However, not only did Roger not care about Eton's late arrival, he also promised to solve the supply problem as soon as possible, and even retained Eton's command. This really surprised him, and even found it difficult to accept it for a while.
"Mr. Eaton, please arrange a place for me and my subordinates to rest." Seeing that Eaton was a little dazed, Roger reminded him in a funny way: "You have a lot to do, don't waste time here!"
"Yes!" Eaton, who had come to his senses, was also very happy. He quickly gave Roger a military salute and ran away happily.
Seeing Eaton's happy look, Roger was also secretly amused. To be honest, Roger was not interested in commanding these soldiers. This was a completely thankless job, and now having Eaton do it for him was just what he wanted.
As for those unruly soldiers, Roger didn't even take it to heart. To him, these soldiers were worthless. Now that Idun can suppress these guys, he doesn't have to worry about what trouble they will cause. And these are
Veterans who have seen blood on the battlefield admire most those who fight without concern for their own safety and kill countless enemies. Roger believes that after a few battles, no one will dare to despise him like he does now.
Originally, Roger wanted to take over Gettysburg in a relatively peaceful way. After all, the soldiers stationed here were considered very loyal to the kingdom. Although Roger himself was not very loyal to the Kingdom of Thorne, he still
I admire these principled people very much, so if possible, Roger would not mind taking care of these people on the battlefield and helping them survive this war.
However, when Roger was about to enter the tower of the castle to rest, he overheard a conversation between two soldiers, which made him change his original mind.
"Let's go to the girl in red, she's so tempting!" A soldier whispered to his companions: "If I can spend one night with her, I'm willing to die in battle tomorrow!"
"Bah, stop thinking so wildly!" Another soldier said immediately: "She is a woman from a noble family. How can she be an ordinary soldier like us?"
The first soldier to speak sneered: "You are stupid and you still don't admit it. Why do we have to have women's consent when we play with women?"
"You mean..." the second soldier suddenly realized: "Use strong ones?"
"Why not?" the person in front said sarcastically: "The nobles will also die in this war. As long as the pretty boy dies, who will care about his woman?!"
"We can't do this just by the two of us!" The soldier who spoke later also became interested and whispered obscenely: "I'm going to ask who else dares to do it. Only with more people can we succeed. By then, everyone
Take turns, I'll let you take the lead at worst!"
The first soldier smiled lewdly and said: "Hehe... it's settled. We'll contact each other separately, and when it's done, we'll have a carnival. As long as the brothers who contribute, everyone will have a share!"
The voices of the two people talking were very low, but Roger, as a senior silver expert, still heard their words clearly, and couldn't help but get angry immediately. You said that the soldiers rejected the new commander and did not trust the airborne Roger.
Forget it, now Sophia actually used her brain to conspire to kill Roger and seize the dragon girl. This has touched his bottom line, and he will never let go of any soldier who has this idea.
"These bastard soldiers and ruffians actually dare to mess with your brain!" After entering the room, Roger angrily said to Sophia: "They actually discussed using force against you! They are really such bastards and must be taught a lesson.
them!"
Sophia is stronger than Roger, and she can naturally hear clearly what Roger can hear. To her, most human beings are like ants, and she has no idea about the bad minds of these soldiers.
Take it to heart. In contrast, Roger's angry look amused Sophia even more. She smiled at him and said, "You are so angry about such a trivial matter. Do you think you care about me?"
"Hmph, do you need my concern?" Roger would not admit it, but just gave Sophia a hateful look and said, "But since you are my woman, you can't let others get involved!"
Roger didn't know that his domineering words unexpectedly touched Sophia's heart. The dragon girl has always been a very powerful existence, and no one of the opposite sex dared to say such words to her. Although Sophia did not
Roger's protection was not needed, but the desire to protect her revealed in Roger's words made Sophia feel the warmth of being cared for. At this moment, the dragon girl felt that her hard and cold heart was surrounded by a warm current.
There are gradually signs of thawing and thawing.
This feeling made Sophia no longer argue with Roger, but lowered her head and asked quietly: "Then what do you want to do?"
The angry Roger didn't notice anything strange about Sophia. He slammed his fist into the palm of his hand and said, "Kill a few people to establish your authority!"
Early the next morning, Roger and Sophia got on their horses and asked the soldier guarding the gate to open the door to let them out. The soldier guarding the gate didn't take the new nobleman seriously at all and refused without thinking.
acceded to Roger's request.
So Roger immediately took the noble's arrogant and condescending attitude to the extreme. Not only did he scold the soldier guarding the door, but he even left a few blood marks on the soldier with his riding crop. This incident immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Other soldiers gathered around the gate one after another, watching the conflict that took place in front of the gate. Although no soldiers dared to step forward to accuse Roger because of his noble status, it could be seen from the disdain and contempt on the soldiers' expressions that everyone had an unfavorable attitude toward this new arrival.
There is no good impression of a nobleman who puts on airs in just one day.
After receiving the news, Yidun quickly rushed over and asked loudly from a distance: "What happened? What happened?"
"I want to go out to meet the supply team, but this bastard won't let me leave!" Roger was furious on the horse: "Am I still not the commander of Gettysburg? What is the punishment for disobeying the commander's orders during war?"
Roger's words made everyone around him take a breath. Disobeying orders during war is a capital crime. If the crime is proven, the soldier will be hanged from the flagpole of the castle.
Eaton was an officer who was very protective of his subordinates. At this time, he quickly said with a smile: "Sir Viscount, he is also worried that it is not safe for you and this lady to go out alone. He did not deliberately violate your order."
In fact, Roger was just talking and had no intention of actually hanging the soldier guarding the gate. Now that Eton had spoken, Roger wanted to give him face, and immediately said carelessly: "I don't have to argue with this soldier, but now.
Open the door and let me out! If it delays the time of receiving supplies, which of you can afford it?"
Seeing Roger greeting and leaving, Eaton had no choice but to obey his order. The gate of the castle was soon slowly opened, and Roger and Sophia left slowly along the road on horseback.
"Bah, you bullshit nobles!" The beaten soldier cursed in a low voice as he closed the door: "What will you do when you encounter those desert bandits!"
The gate of Gettysburg slammed shut, and it seemed to have returned to its previous calm. But just where the city wall was damaged, a group of soldiers were creeping out along the city wall. These guys were all people who coveted Sophia's beauty. After last night,
After colluding with each other, he was determined to play with this rare beauty at all costs.
Originally, these people thought they would have to wait a few more days, but they did not expect to encounter such a good opportunity the next day. This stupid noble actually left the castle alone with the beautiful woman. These ruffians who had been ready to make a move naturally couldn't help it.
, they immediately gathered and took action.
Eaton, who was patrolling the tower, saw these soldiers, but he just laughed at them and had no intention of stopping his men. Eaton knew his soldiers very well and knew that they would never become deserters. Now he quietly left the castle, maybe just to go
Find some food in nearby villages, or sneak into the city of Sellis that has not yet fallen to find a low-level prostitute to vent your anger. In short, they will come back quietly after dark.
This is also a way for many soldiers to vent their stress. An experienced commander will never prevent his men from having fun and relaxing, as long as they don't go too far, and Eton is no exception. But he will soon regret his decision at this time.
I regret it, because it is equivalent to letting a dozen experienced soldiers die in vain.
Roger and Sophia came back not long after they left. However, they came back with several fully loaded carts. A group of soldiers pulled the carts forward slowly. In the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city,
They suspected that they were the troops escorting supplies from Luo Jie's mouth.
In fact, these soldiers were also trained by the Lord of the Castle. Roger just summoned them. Since they have gained basic intelligence, these soldiers can also do simple tasks, such as pulling carts and so on. Naturally, they are full of pressure.
"The supplies are here!" The guard guard who saw this scene was also a little excited and immediately shouted at the top of his voice.
This roar immediately attracted many soldiers, and even Yidun happily ran to the gate to wait for the arrival of supplies.
Since the war began, Gettysburg has not received supplies for a long time. Not only have weapons such as arrows been used up, but food has also been in short supply. Eton has also sent men to Sellis several times.
The city asked for supplies, but to no avail. Roger got supplies for everyone as soon as he arrived, which made many soldiers have a better impression of this nobleman.
However, when these large cars were slowly entered the castle, Eaton discovered a problem that had been ignored before, and the expression on his face became less happy.
