Chapter 59 (1/2)
Lord's house, Donne opened the bedroom door and hurried to the study. Uncle Depp, the soldier and Fiona are all here at the moment.
”Lord!”
Uncle Depp said with a ashamed face, ”the letter has been delivered, but I haven't done it. Duvier wanted to kill us, so he had to use the transmission scroll. Please punish the Lord!”
”It's all right.”
Don patted uncle Depp on the shoulder. ”I just didn't think that duvier really dared to kill the messenger.”
Fiona said, ”not killing messengers is just a default rule. Since duvier dares to reach here, of course he is not a person who abides by the rules.”
”But Lord, I have brought back a very important message!”
Uncle Depp was so excited when he saw that Donne didn't blame him that he said, ”Baron duvier is going to send troops to attack Ellington!”
”Oh?”
Donne raised his eyebrows: ”I was going to settle with him, but he came to the door?”
”Lord!”
Fiona was worried: ”Ellington has just begun to recover and can't stand the war now! Unless -”
Fiona wanted to say that unless Donne did it, but she held back at the thought of his warning.
”I know.”
Donne waved his hand and looked at the soldier. ”What's the matter with this guy?”
This guy has been sitting on the ground since the beginning, with a dull face and constantly muttering ”abandoned” and ”the Lord is so ruthless”.
Uncle Depp said with a bitter smile, ”after reading your letter, duvier was angry and wanted to kill him together. I brought him back easily.”
”I see...”
Donne pondered for a moment and said to the soldier, ”if you don't want to die, answer my question.”
A soul stirring soldier said, ”no! Don't kill me!”
”Well, how many fighting soldiers does Baron duvier have? Listen, I'm asking fighting soldiers, not you losers.”
”This...”
The demobilized soldiers are collapsing. They're already elite, okay? But when Donne scolded him as a waste, he couldn't refute a word.
No way, 150 elite soldiers were defeated by 50 militias and more than 100 demobilized soldiers were captured. How can they say they are elite soldiers in front of Ellington militia?
”We are already one of the best soldiers under Baron duvier. In addition to the 150 brothers in the mine, there are 500 resident elite soldiers in castle caspami. They are responsible for guarding the baron. Their equipment should be better than ours, but there is not much difference...”
”Little difference? That is, Baron duvier doesn't have an apocalyptic army?”
”How possible!”
Before the soldiers could speak, Fiona shouted, ”every Apocalypse has self-esteem. How can they be willing to be an ordinary soldier of a baron? Even the viscount and count are difficult to recruit an apocalypse army. Baron duvier is just a baron. How can he afford the consumption of the apocalypse.”
”I see.”
Don't worry, ”don't worry. If it's such waste, there are not enough people to see, let alone only 500 people.”
”Lord, it's amazing that a baron has 500 soldiers...”
The weak soldier said: ”the number of private soldiers given to the Baron by the empire is only 500. The Baron's actual number of private soldiers is full and many... And he has several powerful apocalypses to protect him in the dark...”
”No amount of waste is waste.”
Donne shook his head. ”Don't worry, they don't even want to come in at Ellington's gate.”
The soldier opened his mouth and finally lowered his head. Of course, he knows why the Lord is so confident.
Fiona frowned: ”but duvier gave up these soldiers, that is to say, we will raise them for nothing?”
”Of course not... I think they are happy to fight for their lives.”
Donne smiled. ”Go, go to the dungeon.”
Donne took the private soldier to the dungeon again. The demobilized soldiers in the dungeon were still noisy. They sat around playing cards and chatting. They didn't regard themselves as prisoners at all.
The soldiers shouted at once when they saw Donne coming back with their companions.
”You're back! What did the LORD say? Let you take us back?”
”Is Lord very angry?”
The soldier opened his mouth and said dejectedly, ”brothers, we have been abandoned by the Lord...”
”What!? how is that possible!”
”Boo!” a hot soldier grabbed the railing of his cell and roared, ”we guard the mine for him. The mine has brought him hundreds of thousands of gold coins a year. Now he actually gives up us!?”
”You're lying to us. You're lying to us, aren't you?”
”I didn't lie to you!”
The soldiers shouted, ”if it weren't for the messenger of Lord Ellington, I would have been beheaded by the Baron! The Baron is very angry! Very angry! He decided to level Ellington!”
Hearing this, the soldiers' faces showed panic. If Baron duvier's soldiers really flattened here, it is estimated that they will be executed immediately!
Donne smiled, stepped forward and said faintly, ”I think you know what will happen to you after Ellington is broken.”
