Volume Two: The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 189: The Bloody Battle of Amondin (12)
Yesterday, I saw a lot of comments from my friends on my mobile phone. They expressed their support. I was so touched. I thought no one would read it. I am so touched that I want to write it down!
When Balin saw Sir Rudy coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted, "Dear Sir Rudy, Balin salutes you."
"Oh, get up quickly, brother Balin." Sir Rudy stepped forward and helped Balin up.
Sir Rudy knew Bahrain's status in Norland Castle and his position in Balian's heart, and he did not dare to neglect this guy who seemed to be somewhat unattractive.
"Come on, sit down quickly. Why are you here to see me? Is there anything important?" Sir Rudy directly asked the questions in his heart without mincing words.
Balin smiled, and when he picked up the painted pottery water glass, he gave Sir Rudy a look that only he could see. Sir Rudy immediately understood. He said to the old servant who came in with him: "Go and give it to Madam.
Tell me, we will entertain guests at our family banquet at noon today, and then you go to the stables and feed the guests’ horses some fodder and water.”
After the old servant retreated and they were the only two people left in the room, Balin handed the letter in his arms to Sir Rudy.
After Sir Rudy read the letter from Balian to him, the expression on his face was extremely wonderful. He widened his eyes, looked at Balin and said: "How is this possible? The two of them sent so many pirate heads to the city.
"
Balin motioned for him to be quieter, and then he lowered his voice and said: "Sir Rudy, whether you believe it or not, within ten days at most, the city of Amundine will be captured by pirates. At the moment, you should listen to my lord and hurry up.
Get out of here."
After hearing Balin's words, Sir Rudy leaned on his chair a little dejectedly. He frowned, closed his eyes, and thought about it.
After a long while, Sir Rudy finally spoke, "Bahrain, today, I asked Liv to pack her things and take the children to Fort Noland. You will be my escort along the way. I'm sorry to bother you."
"
"Sir Rudy, what are you talking about? I will send my wife and children to Nolandenburg safely. Please rest assured." Balin promised firmly.
Then, Balin hesitated for a moment and said to Sir Rudy: "You'd better follow along. This group of Toba pirates is extremely cruel. After being captured by them, ordinary nobles will not receive preferential treatment at all and may even be killed.
.”
"Hi!" Sir Rudy sighed painfully, and then said: "But what can I do? Sir Pippin has taken the main force of the defenders out of the city, and now I am the commander of the city defense battalion in Amundine City
Officer, if I abandon my post and run away, I'm afraid the Sheriff will report to the palace to arrest me, and it will also bring trouble to Balian."
Balin thought for a moment, and he felt that he had the obligation to rescue Sir Rudy from the predicament, both publicly and privately. For the public, Sir Rudy was his own uncle, and helping him was also helping him;
Privately speaking, although Balin and Sir Rudy have only met a few times, they are very at odds with each other. Although there is a gap in status, Sir Rudy has never looked down on him from a high position. Instead, he has lowered his stature and treated him as a friend.
treat.
"Sir Rudy, even if you stay in the city, I do not recommend you to serve as the commander of the city defense battalion. The Tuba pirates are not bad at siege. If you are responsible for defending the city, your hope of survival is very small.
.
I suggest that you pretend to be ill and ask the county guard to change the city defense commander, and then you take the opportunity of going to the manor outside the city to recuperate and leave." Balin suggested to Sir Rudy.
Upon hearing this, Sir Rudy pondered for a while and responded: "Is it really that critical? Although I know that Balian is a genius, and I choose to believe in him, I still can't believe that what is said in this letter will happen.
.”
Seeing that Bahrain was stunned because of his sudden question, Sir Rudy smiled and said: "I will find a way not to take the responsibility of defending the city, but I can't leave the city of Amundine now. I have to stay here. Since
My duty is also to see with my own eyes whether Balian’s prediction is correct.”
"Sir, you don't need to take such a big risk to gamble! Really..." Balin was about to continue persuading, but Sir Rudy raised his hand and asked him to stop talking. Balin had to stop and raised his hand to his throat.
Yan'er took his words back.
Sir Rudy walked up to Bahrain, gave him a hug, and then said to him with a smile: "Don't worry, the lives of the Tucker family are at stake. If the coalition forces are really defeated, I will definitely escape as soon as possible.
At that time, I drank with you two brothers at Nolandenburg."
Balin also smiled when he heard this, and then took out a copper whistle and gave it to Rudy to sleep, "Okay, Sir Rudy, my people will be lurking outside the city. If there is any need, you can blow this whistle outside the city."
, as long as the soldiers from Fort Noland are nearby, they will definitely come to find you."
After Sir Rudy took the whistle, he smiled and said, "Okay, I will try not to use it by then, but I will keep this copper whistle."
After the two of them finished talking, Sir Rudy went to find his wife and sent a maid at home to take the children home, ready for them to pack their things and head to Fort Norland.
Mrs. Liv felt very strange after hearing Sir Rudy's request, but Sir Rudy refused to say the reason, but insisted that she could only obey her husband's words.
At dusk, before sunset, Mrs. Liv and her two children, Dany and Karl, accompanied by an old servant and a maid, went out of the city with Balin. Outside the city were five cavalry and a group of Norlandenburg residents.
Soldiers from the Corps came here specifically to assist.
After Balin handed the people over to them, he gave Sir Rudy's autographed letter to a cavalryman and asked him to hand it to him when he saw Balian. Here, Sir Rudy explained that he was unwilling to leave.
The reason, and the words to get rid of Balian and take care of his family if he were to die.
The war situation was urgent. The Toba pirates sent out multiple teams of sentinels to eliminate the opponent's spies and robbed and killed the lone messenger cavalry. In addition, due to the disturbance of the Toba pirates, many farmers fled their homes but failed to hide in the castle.
They gathered in the forest.
They have a tendency to evolve into robbers and robbers. As Balian knew, there were five or six robberies on the Avenue of the Knights in a week. Although Balian tried his best to attract the refugees to Novo with food.
Landenburg worked hard, but those farmers who enjoyed the benefits of robbery were further and further away from becoming robbers.
That's why Balian sent a team of thirty people to escort Mrs. Liv and his cousins. After all, the road is too unsafe now. If they make a mistake, his uncle will hate him to death.
That's just good intentions leading to bad things.
Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way, and Mrs. Liv and her younger siblings arrived at Fort Norland safely. After a sumptuous family dinner, Balian asked Huck's mother to take Mrs. Liv and the others to the bedroom to rest.
, and he opened the letter from his uncle to himself.
After reading it, Bellion said with emotion: "It seems that in every era, there are some idealists, but idealists are destined to be beaten by cruel reality.
