Tonight''s letter seems to have frightening magic.
When the knight took out the letter paper, the vassals were surprised, and his hesitant appearance disturbed all the people. They guessed that there must be some unacceptable bad news.
"Give it to me!" Sir Cyrus lackson snatched the letter paper.
"Sir, please calm down... This may be false news." the knight looked worried and said a consolation that he didn''t believe.
The handwriting was his wife''s, and serro lakson read it quickly. With the example of hard Burton, he just swept away Arthur''s "numerous crimes". Although he was angry, he did not get out of control. At the end of the reading, his wife''s handwriting looked scribbled and flustered, and there were traces of tears on the paper
"No! No... God, ah..."
When he saw the news of the death of his two sons, he sent out a long and hoarse cry in his throat. He only felt a bone chilling cold rush to his head, dizzy and fell back.
"My Lord!" the knight hurried forward to hold him, and the surrounding vassals were surprised.
"No, no, how could this happen..." paralyzed in the arms of the knight, serro lackson uttered a wail, as if he had encountered the most desperate thing in the world.
This scene frightened everyone. The warm fire in the tent seemed to turn into the cold of winter. For a time, everyone seemed to be thrown into the ice cave without intoxication.
"Damn it, what happened!"
"Did the boy really run behind us!"
The vassals all stood up and asked questions in a panic. The tent was chaotic and noisy. Ted Barrett stepped aside quickly and asked the knight loudly, "Damn it, what''s in the letter? What''s going on! Cyrus lackson, what''s going on!"
"Marquis..." the knight looked sad and his throat was hard to speak.
"Kill him, I''ll kill him!!" at this time, serro lakson, who was slow, violently rose, pulled out the knight''s sword and rushed out of the tent.
"Stop him!" Ted Barrett shouted to the guards outside, and the knight rushed forward to stop him.
"Go away!!" waving the long sword, serro lackson''s eyes turned red and shouted madly, "who dares to stop, I''ll kill who now! Kill everyone! Ah!! bastard in hell, he killed my son, my two sons! Ah!!"
Hearing the speech, everyone took a cold breath, and Ted Barrett was stunned on the spot, and the guards who came to stop were at a loss.
"Cyrus!" when he recovered, Ted Barrett immediately shouted, "you can only die if you rush to the wall now. The boy is not here! Lay down your arms and let''s renegotiate the battle plan. I won''t stop you from taking revenge!"
……
After much confusion, the vassals sat in the tent again.
The campfire is still warm and bright, the smell of food has not dissipated, but the singing and happy laughter are gone. Everyone''s mood is extremely gloomy, with suffocating hatred and seriousness on their faces.
After a long repressive silence, Ted Barrett said: "The attack on the berten family and the lakson family confirmed that Arthur tustra had indeed led troops into our territory. The route should be the swamp and wetland in the East. In addition, according to the information, they were light and simple, went deep alone, did not carry any luggage and serfs, and the team of nearly 100 people was composed of knights. As for the boy''s purpose, it must be Want to force us to withdraw and give up attacking the Cambrian leader. "
The vassals listened quietly, their faces gloomy, and no one suspected that it was false news. Arthur tustra did lead soldiers into their territory and was killing and setting fire everywhere.
"This is somewhat unexpected. Now most of the knights in the territory are here, especially the farms. Their strength is empty. Arthur tustra is likely to attack other places, or has attacked. The letter bird is on its way."
Hearing the speech, several vassals adjacent to the lakson family turned dark and had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Looking at the crowd, Ted Barrett continued: "It''s hard to stop each other only by the people left behind in their farms. Now we have three options. One is to withdraw our troops directly and return to the territory to encircle and suppress each other, so we have to give up the fight here, which is also the boy''s purpose. The other is to divide only a part of the troops and summon another part of the people from the territory to fight on the two lines. The third is to gather the left behind troops from all over the territory and let us fight together Stay here. "
"You can''t withdraw all!" as soon as the voice fell, the red eyed Cyrus lackson said gnashing his teeth. "In any case, you can''t let the boy be happy! Sir, give me a hundred knights and I can kill him alone!"
"I''ll go back too!"
"And me, the other party may have run into my territory!"
"My Lord, I''ll go back too. I''ll take only a few guards. I''ll call the rest in the territory!"
……
Hard Burton and several other vassals also spoke immediately. At one time, seven vassals planned to return, nearly half of them.
Looking at the people who spoke, serro lakson said, "you stay here. I''ll just go back with hard berten! You write back and ask the people left to watch out. The boy has no supplies. Even if he can get food, his weapons will soon be exhausted. Take him and two hundred Knights will be enough!"
"That''s right!" said hard Burton. "The boy took a group of knights to deal with him. We don''t need so many people! We don''t need to mobilize people from all over the country to avoid letting the boy get into the gap. You stay here with the Marquis, take Xiangguo town as soon as possible, and then go straight into the upper river collar and kill it all! Let the boy taste the same!"
After some discussion, no one agreed to withdraw troops. Arthur''s behavior greatly provoked everyone here, and it is indisputable to send troops back.
Finally, at the decision of Ted Barrett, Yves battel and Sir Meru Pacheco returned together, allowing them to take 200 Knights respectively, set out early tomorrow morning, return to their families as soon as possible, investigate the situation, re recruit the required manpower and encircle Arthur!
……
The next day, before dawn, milt, who had not slept all night, hurried up the wall, held the telescope, and carefully observed the movement across the river in the face of the cold wind from the river.
"Why didn''t you respond at all? Haven''t you received the news yet?" an hour later, there was still no movement in the dark camp except for several jumping flames.
Different from the balite vassals, he was excited to stay awake all night when he learned about Arthur''s heroic deeds. He stood on the wall until midnight and wanted to hold a banquet to express his joy.
"Lord milt, I didn''t expect you to be so anxious."
Behind him came the voice of Sir bank Trish. Putting down the telescope, milt quickly turned and said, "I''m looking forward to Ted Barrett''s going away! But it''s almost dawn, and the guys opposite are still quiet. Lord bank, do you think they haven''t received the news yet?"
Bank turned and looked at the peak across the river bank. The morning light at the top of the peak was as weak as a firefly.
"Lord milt, you might as well eat some food first. Here I''ll watch for you. But don''t expect too much. There aren''t enough bad news. They''re unlikely to withdraw like this, and they may not believe it so easily."
Hearing the speech, milt pursed his mouth and looked rather unwilling.
"All right," said milt helplessly. His hunger really made him miss the hot food.
"Wait, Lord milt!" said bank, holding a telescope, just as he was about to step down the stone steps. "Would you like to see something to please yourself, perhaps it will help to appetizer."
