Volume 2 The Iron Baron Chapter 155 The Battle of Nolandenburg (29)
"My God, God of Fire, you really scared me. I thought you dared to disobey your orders and drink during the battle." Gamlin raised his hand and punched Barrett.
After being punched, Barrett said with a smile: "I am not responsible for myself, but I am also responsible for this castle and the safety of hundreds of brothers. I am not an irresponsible person."
Gamlin looked at the setting sun in the distance and said with a smile: "Anyway, what happened today is over. When it gets dark, I will send someone to deliver a message to your lord, telling him the situation of today's war. I will also look at your lord."
What do you think of the instructions for the next city defense battle?"
"Yeah!" Barrett nodded, "Okay, just do as you say! Oh, by the way, you first find the two gate tower defenders. I want to ask them why they didn't notice the pirates' placement.
flammable oil."
Having said this, Barrett paused for a moment, and then continued: "Your Excellency, you have that telescope. He must have watched the whole war here. We didn't find the problem of the pirates placing oil barrels, and Your Excellency will definitely ask about it."
.
Rather than waiting for the adults to ask questions and the two of us falling into a passive situation, we might as well investigate clearly and tell him the cause and effect directly to avoid trouble again."
"Okay! You have thought this matter carefully. I'll go first. There should be five or six survivors of the defenders at the city gate tower. I'll call them over and let the two of us question these guys.
, what is going on." Gamlin responded.
Barrett also stood up, and he asked Gamlin: "Don't be harsh to them. Although they are a little careless, after all, they are also warriors who escaped death and fought bravely against pirates. You still have to treat them with an attitude."
Better.”
Gamlin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Barrett entrusting him with this. Usually, Barrett was a rough guy who didn't care about the feelings of the soldiers. He came to remind him, but today he turned around. It was really strange.
"Don't worry, my Captain Barrett, I am very measured in what I do, so you don't have to worry about how I speak. Take a few more sips of wine and talk to them later." Gamlin laughed.
He said.
Not long after, the militia soldiers who had been guarding the city gate tower during the battle came over. After Barrett and Balin inquired about the specific situation, they asked them to go back and have a good rest. After all, they were still counting on the next battle.
These soldiers play a role.
After the sun went down, two soldiers wearing black night uniforms came down from the top of Fort Nolanden. After they came down along the rope, when they shook the rope, the people on the top of the city knew that they had stepped on the ground, so they pulled the rope.
He was pulled up.
After observing that there was no danger around them, the two men quietly left and went down the mountain. After leaving Wind and Cloud Summit, they quickly ran towards Green Hill Village where Balian was located.
At this time in Green Hill Village, Bellion was a little tired after witnessing another day of fighting. After a simple dinner, he closed his eyes and rested on the couch in the bedroom.
This deck chair was made for himself by a carpenter who settled in Green Hill Village on his day off. Before he could enjoy it, the pirates came. After the carpenter hid in Green Hill Village, he learned that the lord also
After hearing the news here, I immediately dedicated this deck chair to Balian.
Although Balian did not want to accept gifts from common people, in order to take care of the mood of the villagers in Green Hill Village, he still accepted the chair and gave the carpenter a reward of ten dinars, which was regarded as a disguised purchase of the recliner.
.
At this time, only Bran, the squire, was standing by Balian's side. After Balian started snoring, he covered him with a wool blanket, and then sat there quietly to watch what Balian bought in the city of Yang Weichuo.
A book chronicling the characters of the Empire.
I don't know how long it took, but Balian suddenly trembled and he was awakened. He quickly sat up. Seeing Balian's appearance, Bran thought he was having a nightmare, so he quickly brought a wet towel and asked him to sit up.
Leon wiped his face, poured a glass of honey water, and brought it to Balian.
After wiping his face and drinking a cup of warm, sweet water, Balian felt much more at peace. He continued to lie on the recliner, but did not continue to sleep. He was no longer sleepy now, although he had been thinking about it for the past two days.
He couldn't sleep well, but the messenger sent by the defenders of Fort Nolandenburg to report the news hadn't come yet. There was always something pressing in his mind, and he couldn't sleep well even if he wanted to.
Not long after, the bedroom door was opened. Then a man came over quietly. He lay in Bran's ear and whispered: "My lord, have you woken up?"
Bran was about to get up and go over to see if Balian had fallen asleep again, when he suddenly heard Balian's voice, "I'm already awake, so there's no need to come over and see. Harker, what's the matter? Barrett sent the messenger here."
Is it done?"
Huck nodded and replied: "Sir, yes, you guessed it accurately. The messenger from the Fort Nolandenburg garrison has arrived."
After receiving a definite answer, Balian quickly stood up and put on an autumn noble uniform. This garment was thicker. Wearing it in the late autumn night, it could withstand a lot of wind and cold.
After Balian arrived on the first floor, the two messengers immediately knelt down on one knee to salute, and handed Balian the letter signed by Barrett and Gamlin.
After Balian received the letter, he was very happy. He asked a Guards soldier to go to the kitchen to get some food, because judging from the growling of their stomachs, they probably ran away without eating well at night.
Came over.
The food from the kitchen was quickly served, and the two orderlies ate in large chunks. They grabbed the chicken legs and sausages on the table and ate them ruthlessly. What they didn't know was that they thought they were soldiers from the militia regiment guarding Fort Nolandenburg.
There is no food to eat.
In fact, there are more than 100,000 pounds of grain in Fort Noland. It is not impossible for the few people under Barrett and Gamlin to eat for three to five years. Of course, there is a premise here, that is, they two
The number of subordinates will not increase.
While they were eating, Balian had already read the contents of the letter. Although during the day, he was on the roof of the surrounding house in Green Hill Village and used the original telescope to read today's city defense battle, there were many details.
Didn't see any.
Thanks to Balian's literacy education, Barrett can also write, not to mention Gamlin, an assistant who can read and write. They used accurate words to make a detailed description of today's battle situation.
He described and listed the gains and losses in today's city defense battle, which was very attentive.
Through this letter, Balian also knew how the enemy burned the gate of Fort Norland, because there were so many pirates attacking the city today, especially when the two sides were shooting at each other, most of them were hiding behind their shields and could not attack the city at all.
Not being able to see what was happening in the distance, the pirates successfully placed the oil drum at the city gate without the defenders noticing.
