Section 64: The Counterattack of the Lowland Lords
Chapter 64: The Counterattack of the Lowland Lords
The lord's judgment was correct. Shortly after he led his relatives and friends and followers to escape from the manor, the Eagle Warriors led by Schwab arrived outside the manor full of supplies. Through the guide of the arrested villagers, Schwab and others learned that the manor was the material accumulation warehouse of the local lord, and immediately led the army to occupy the manor. After the vanguard's soldiers fought with the armed servants for a moment, they broke up the armed servants left by the lord and rushed into the manor.
When the Eagle Warriors soldiers in the garden occupied the warehouse of the manor again, they saw the pile of clothes and cloths of various colors. After a moment of stunned silence, the poor Eagle Warriors soldiers shouted wildly. They rushed into the colorful clothes and cloths and put the dyed cloths desperately on their bodies. The dyed cloth was torn into strips and stuffed into their boots or in the holes of their ragged clothes. When the soldiers appeared happily in front of Schwab, Schwab was stunned.
"Mixed?" Schwab rushed out and saw the soldiers wearing multiple layers of clothes of different colors, and their feet were covered with long and short pantyhose. However, when they looked happy, Schwab was not easy to stop them. They must have been very poor not long ago, and only one life was left.
"Although the clothes are beautiful, how can others see them?" The soldiers who got a lot of clothes felt that it was a very regrettable that they could not show them in front of people in a beautiful and colorful dress.
"Haha, what's the problem?" The veteran in the team said to the recruits proudly. The veterans took off the outermost clothes, then pulled out a sharp dagger, and cut them randomly on their clothes, and then put the clothes that had been cut into many small holes again. When the veteran walked among the recruits, the bright clothes inside were revealed through the cut, and the colorful clothes were dazzling when they advanced. This very cool practice was immediately imitated among the soldiers, and the Schwab's army suddenly became as fancy as a peacock.
"Schwab, look at these soldiers, what are they doing?" General Bruce kept bringing Schwab into the manor's manor like a fly. When Schwab was telling Prince Masimilk about his strategic policy, General Bruce rushed into the manor's manor and said furiously.
"What's wrong?" Schwab asked dissatisfiedly.
"What's wrong? They robbed the warehouse and were still wearing gorgeous clothes. As poor soldiers, how dare they wear them like nobles?" General Bruce was furious at the soldiers' outfits that violated class.
"It's because of that." Schwab asked with his head tilted.
"It's because of this? Schwab, you have to be fully responsible. They are despising the nobles."
"Enough, General Bruce, forgive these people. Compared to you, they are just unlucky people. These gorgeous clothes are regarded as their reward for their unlucky life. They must have nothing but their lives." At this time, Prince Masimilk said loudly and made a special amnesty for the soldiers' actions. Prince Masimilk's pardon made General Bruce retreat helplessly. The pardon from the royal family, let alone the future king, is strong and effective.
Haas Berg Fort is located on only three hills in a lowland territory. The road to the castle is only a trembling wooden bridge. However, the castle walls and the main fort are piled up by thick rocks. It can be said to be one of the strongest forts in the lowland territory. There are a hundred knights guarding this castle. Therefore, when the lowland lords encounter danger, their first reaction is to hide in this solid castle. Today, new guests are welcomed in the castle. When these panicked guests hide in the castle, more messengers run around. They are asking for help from other lords, but in the remaining
During the time of the downfall, they found that there was no need to notify these lords at all, because Schwab led these troops to sweep the entire lowland territory in a month, and more than fifty villages turned into burnt ruins, countless food was plundered, and overnight the lowland lords found their property to be ashes, and their anger was unstoppable. Soon, the lords who received a messenger for help led their inner-domestic knights and troops to advance towards Haas Berg Castle, and soon gathered the entire lowland territory in Haas Berg Castle, with a total of 10,000 people, including 3,000 knights, and most of the others were recruiting infantry and town militias.
With so many troops gathered, the lords firmly believed that they could teach those hateful invaders a lesson, and that they should not think that they were easy to bully and that their property was lost. The lords who swear to retaliate. They held a meeting of lords in Haas Bergburg Castle, and the participants were all lords with status.
"We have never been ruled by those damn poor Purmenbruces. I feel sick when I think of their stiff voice as a groom." Lord Pedro spat hard, showing his anger at the invaders. The other lords sat on both sides of the hall and nodded in agreement.
"Now we should talk about how to fight."
"Go out and cut those invaders into pieces." Pedro said loudly, dancing with his powerful arms.
"Yes, that's right, send a knight." The lords nodded and echoed.
"Wait, everyone." At this time, one of the young lords of the lords spoke. He was from Lemondo, who was relying on the seaside territory. His family made a fortune by operating nautical trade through natural ports.
"What's wrong? Lemondo." Pedro asked.
"We do not know what conspiracies these Pummenbruces have. I suggest that we remain calm and let the villagers and citizens enter the castle to take refuge, collect supplies into the solid castle, and then send a small number of troops to test the Pummenbruces." Lemondo stood up and suggested to the lords around him, wearing a flat soft hat on his brown hair and a wool shawl robe, with graceful posture and firm will.
"We cannot be underestimated by the Pumbrus people. I know my friend Lemondo, you are afraid of war, but we are not cowards." Pedro shook his head and rejected Lemondo's suggestion. The other lords also felt that this combat plan was too timid.
"What if the Pumbrus people have a trap?" Lemondo continued to speak with a frown, but no one listened to him and was inexperienced in controlling a young lord's meeting.
"Don't worry, I know that those Pummenbruces only have one hundred knights." The lord who was first robbed the territory and said patting his round belly, he said with great certainty.
"Oh, how did you know?" Lemondo asked.
"Some of my farmers escaped the devilish Pummenbruces, they told me."
