Chapter 223 [White Feather Knights]
With a glass filled with Dewey's own hands, Alpha quietly looked at the amber liquid in the glass as if it was a little dazzling.
… well, have a drink with me……
Have a drink with me...
The Earl who patted himself on the shoulder, praised himself for doing well, and then dragged himself... now?
I'm afraid he has returned to Rollin's hometown, guarded the castle, dissipated his pride, and slowly aged in the ordinary...
Yeah, that's it.
In mediocrity, age slowly.
Thinking about it, Alpha suddenly had an impulse in his heart, and he really wanted to throw this glass of wine out of his hand!
He wants to laugh, he wants to laugh, he wants to laugh!
I, who vowed to guard it... it's gone!
Me, the family that was willing to die for it... it's gone!
I, the vow to give my life for it... it's gone!
And... the one who could have given an order to make himself willing to die... he's not here now!!
Count! Raymond...
Now you, probably sitting in the study in Castle Rollin, sitting in front of the fireplace, burning fire, blankets on your knees, the only biggest thing you need to think about, I'm afraid is just what to eat for dinner, or will it rain tomorrow...
Funny!!!
It's not just you, it's me, I'm Alpha!
More than 40 years of my life, most of my life, have been dedicated to that mission in my heart! But in the end...
I'm still walking in a shaky, barely... but Count Raymond, what about you?
And you left?!
Joke! Joke!!
So what am I? What am I, Alpha?
When the common pride was strong, you said to leave. Yes, you failed. You can go back.
Can I back off?
At this moment, Alpha's heart suddenly felt unusually tired.
He sighed gently, retracted his gaze at the glass, closed his eyes and drank it.
… so be it.
A smile suddenly appeared in the corner of Alpha's mouth. Smiles filled with ridicule and exhaustion.
I've lost a lifetime of goals, and now I don't even know what I'm doing.
The only thing I can do is follow that person's last instructions before he leaves: help his son until...
Hmm, know the day you die.
Alpha gently lowered the glass, nodded at Dewey and turned away.
“Please wait, Uncle Alpha.” Dewey suddenly shouted at the old guard.
Alpha stopped and looked back at Dewey: "Anything else, sir? ”
Dewey took a deep breath and looked at this handsome middle-aged knight in front of her and suddenly Dewey had some hidden anxiety in her heart.
Because what he sees in this man's eyes is a numbness that cannot be shaken! Even... in his eyes, he has hidden a hint of... death!!
“Uncle Alpha.” Dewey came around the back of the desk and walked to the chief guard, and his voice was serious: “I don't think we've had a chance to have a good conversation since we left Didu. I remember you hugged me when I was little... at that time, you seemed to me to be the most powerful samurai I ever knew. He is also the most trusted guardian of the family. ”
Alpha smiled as if, "Young Master... that's just my job. ”
“It's not that simple.” Dewey shook his head, his voice was low: “I know, you've been depressed since your father's loss... have you been desperate for your family? ”
Alpha didn't speak.
“Everyone now calls me the ‘Tulip Duke', and even in the official records of the Empire, my last name was changed to ‘Rudolph’," Dewey said slowly. But... what I want to say to you is, I know in my heart that my name is Dewey Rollin! It's "Rollin"! Not ‘Rudolph'!! ”
Alpha still hasn't spoken.
“Uncle Alpha, I know your disappointment in the family.” Dewey tried to be as sincere as possible: “But you know what... I promised my mother! As long as I have one day, the hopes of the Rollins will never be broken! Although everyone calls me Tulip now, or Rudolph, I assure you that one day I will have the name Rollin back on the mainland! ”
Looking at the resolute look on Dewey's face, Alpha's eyes didn't seem to fluctuate much. The middle-aged knight shrugged for a moment and suddenly asked, "Young Master, when you first returned to the Rollin Plains, did you see anything? ”
Duvi stunned.
Then suddenly, two years ago, he was “assigned” back to the Rollin Plains, and when the convoy had just crossed the Rollin River, when the convoy had stepped on the Rollin Plains, the accompanying knights, the Rollins' ministers, cheered the scene.
Remember that time, all the cavalry cheered, and some even forgot the discipline and went back and forth to Mercedes-Benz, leaving the horseshoes to tread on the black soil with joy! Even their chief didn't mean to restrain these excited men at the moment, but to sit on the horse and smile and watch it all!
Everyone, their faces filled with that proud smile from the heart, everyone took off their hats and threw them in the sky and shouted: "Home!! The Rollins returned to their land!! ”
This is a sense of belonging and honor to the family! It is a sense of belonging that has been deeply branded in the blood!
Even Mudd... his seemingly untouchable predecessor, Marv, said very seriously to Dewey, "Don't call us the Kot provinces, but call us the Rollin Plains! It's Lorraine, not some province! ”
That was the first time Dewey had been shocked in the world. And for the first time, he was infected by those who cheered home, facing the rich Rollin Plains, listening to the cheers of the cavalry. Even Dewey, who has always had a dead heart, couldn't help but expect a few points from this "home”.
Everything, all the glory, all the cohesion, all the love, all comes from a name:
Lorraine!
Looking back at the scene, Dewey suddenly felt he could understand the heart of the Alpha Guard!
“Young master.” Alpha whispers: “Perhaps you are young, at your age, to understand what the name Rollin means to people our age! Perhaps you don't know, when the family collapsed, there were cries all over the Rollin Plains, and when Rollin's private army was forcibly disbanded, even loyal knights committed suicide on the spot to accompany the family to burial!! None of this... you don't know. ”
Dewey opened his mouth and he couldn't speak.
Alpha bowed deeply to Dewey, and at this moment the knight's face finally showed a little excitement: “Perhaps it's a little ridiculous to say this in my capacity… but that's how my heart works. In my heart, I am already a member of the Rollin family... my father, my grandfather and even my great-grandfather are loyal members of the Rollin family! People like me, educated from birth, have to remain loyal to the family for the rest of their lives. My mission is to defend the glory of the family even at the expense of their own blood and life! If necessary, I can challenge any enemy without hesitation to hold my own sword! My whole life was tied tightly to my family, even my offspring, my bloodline... but suddenly, one day, everything changed! It was tied tightly to my life and cut off by a knife! My mission, my everything, my glory, my loyalty, all of a sudden it doesn't exist! Young Master, at this time, although I am still alive, my heart is dead. ”
Dewey watched Alpha quietly.
“Although...” Alpha sighed slowly, his voice went down: “Though, Young Master, you are willing to revitalize the family... although you are from the Rollins family. But… it may be difficult for you to understand that for all Rollins, even though you are now a higher title than the Count of the year! Even though you now have more power than the Rollins did back then... but in my opinion... oh forgive my words, you do not, in my opinion, represent ‘Rollins’. ”
“… why?!” Dewey's voice was a little hoarse.
“Because your current title is‘ Duke of Tulips’, not ‘Count Rollin’! Because your territory is now Desarrollo Province, not the 'Rollin Plains’! Because your capital is built on the shores of Lake Lulan, not on the edge of the 'Rollin River'!” Alpha said it without a shred: “For an ancient family like the Rollins… tradition is better than all! ”
“But I will try to restore it!” Dewey, hold on to your fists: “One day, I'll get the Rollin Plains back! Retrieve the Rawling River! Rebuild the Knights of the Rollins! Uncle Alpha... if you're depressed now, who else can I count on to help me? I have a lot of people now, but you are the only real Rollins!! ”
Watching the Alpha Guard remain silent, Dewey added: “Besides... my father asked you to stay with me, not just to help me, but one day..."
“Master!!” Guard Alpha's eyes suddenly flashed a hint of Mars! So... anger?
“Young master!” Alpha's voice suddenly got cold: “Don't mention your father to me anymore. Because in my heart, the true Count Raymond of the Rollins is dead! Now living in the castle of Rawling is nothing but a lost soul, willing to age in mediocrity! ”
Dewey was surprised. He had no idea that Alpha had such a grudge in his heart when he mentioned his father?!
He... shouldn't he be loyal to old Raymond?
“Why…?” Dewey asked.
“Because he didn't have the courage to die! It was a cowardly survival.” Alpha slowly said: “The family has fallen… I would rather Lord Count bravely accompany the family to burial than watch him become an old, mediocre old man! If that were the case, I would have killed myself and buried him with me!! The coup failed that day, and if he wanted, I could fight to protect him from the Emperor! Return to the Rollin Plains to rehabilitate the army and fight again! But he chose to surrender! Does he think this will save the family and avoid more bloodshed? Wrong, Raymond! ”
When Alpha was so angry, he suddenly had a strong fight! His emotions seemed somewhat uncontrolled, shouting: "When we Rollins lost our souls and the glory and dignity of our family... this humiliating life is worse than death!! Raymond, he's wrong! Wrong!! ”
Watching Dewey look surprised, Alpha suddenly had a deep heartache in his eyes, his fighting temper converged, his head lowered, and he slowed down: “Master, forgive my faults... I believe in your determination and in your sincerity. But now I can't see a glimmer of hope! ”
“How... how can you not see hope?” Dewey frowned.
“You!” Alpha laughed suddenly: “You are already a Duke and have a province… So why are you going back to the Rollin Plains? Will any emperor, regent or king, allow one of his men to own two territories? What do you mean, family? Let's be clear: land and people!! And now, your land is in Desachon province! Your people are from Tessa province! These people are not Rollins! The real Rollins live on the Rollins! For hundreds of years, he lived on the Rollin Plains, drinking water from the Rollin River and growing up! Even if one day you really put up a Rollin flag in Dessarong Province... I wouldn't agree with that this is the Rollin family! Because this land is not Rollin's! And the people here... none of them are Rollins!! ”
Dewey finally stopped talking. When Alpha glanced at Dewey, he suddenly knelt down on one knee, laying on one hand in front of his chest, doing one of the most solemn knighthood rituals: "Young master, I know your aspirations very well. But I really don't see a glimmer of hope right now. Perhaps you will achieve far more than the great achievements of the Rollins' ancestors of that time, and perhaps the names of the possible will always be inscribed in history… But, with all due respect, these glories do not conceal the fact that the true Rollins no longer exist. ”
After all this, Alpha got up, stopped talking and turned away from the study.
Dewey was silent for a long time and he sighed a long time. He had to admit, Alpha was right, really right!
Even if I do raise the Rollin flag in the northwest in the future... can this be considered a "Rollin family”?
Hundreds of thousands of people living on the Rollin Plains are the real Rollin family! Dessarong Province… Dessarong Province after all!
Looks like it's too easy to say that you want to restore family glory…
If you really want to get Rollin back, unless you can get Rollin Plains back, get those hundreds of thousands of real Rollins back! But... how could Prince Chen agree to such a thing? How could he return the Rollin Plains to himself? How is it possible to return hundreds of thousands of Rollins to yourself?
This night... a long time!
•
Dewey didn't keep himself depressed when it wasn't dawn. He shook his mind and walked out of the study.
Whatever the future, the problems before us are the most real ones.
Forty thousand Northwest Army is ten miles outside the city. And 10,000 prairie wolves have infiltrated their territory.
As a lord and master of this land, Dewey certainly cannot allow such a thing!
After gathering everyone to climb the gates, Dewey looked far away, and Eagle Eye spread out, and Dewey could easily see the battalion of the Northwest Army.
Overnight, the Northwest Army had settled the camp 10 miles outside the city.
“I sent some brothers last night to snoop around in the dark.” Lombardon leaves his mouth shut: “The bastards of the Northwest Army increased their ranks again, and last night they arrived with a large number of returnees, some of them from an infantry regiment, escorting supplies. According to my estimation, the grass delivered was heavy enough to allow these 40,000 people outside to eat and drink here for a month. That means... these guys want to surround us in town for a month. ”
Dewey laughed coldly: "It really cost me money! ”
He then declared: "Gentlemen, I have some bad news to announce. I have reliable information that these Northwestern troops are not coming this time! They're blocking us from going out, actually to cover the savannahs! I have reliable information that at least 10,000 savannahs have infiltrated our territory, turned into zero, and are now wildly spreading their wilderness on our territory. ”
Everyone in Dewey's squad has changed their face as soon as that happens!
Clerk Philip's brain moved fastest, and he immediately said, "My lord! We must send troops out as soon as possible! Everybody knows the prairie's horrible! They're bloodthirsty wolves! If we let such a bunch of wolves enter our territory... then the people of Desarrollo will suffer tremendous losses! These guys burn and loot, they won't be soft! ”
“But we are understaffed.” Dardanelle frowned: "Sir, are you sure those prairie people have turned into zero action? In that case, we don't have thousands of people. Even if we go out, where are we going to find those bastards? ”
Philip immediately said, “Lord Dardanelle! Do we just watch the prairie wolves scatter wild on our soil? It is our people who bleed!! ”
Dardanelle immediately argued, "That's not what I meant, Mr. Phillips! However, I consider it from a purely military perspective. We are understaffed. If we are to deal with the Prairie, we must use cavalry, which is..."
Speaking of which, he glanced at Longbottom. This look is obvious: not many of our cavalry!
For the first time, Dewey questioned Lombardon's "elite” strategy. Due to the high demands placed on the cavalry's qualities by the 250th General, Dewey now has only one cavalry regiment.
Three Thousand Cavalry.
What about 10,000 grassland wolves? And turned into a scattered grassland wolf! These people are gonna want locusts everywhere!
This Lombardon, though Dewey also supports the elite's strategy. But... the number is too small! It has been a year since I arrived in the northwest, the infantry has nearly 20,000 men, and a full division has been formed, while the cavalry remains at the poor 3,000...
“Cough!!” Lombardon finally coughed and said.
His voice calmed the people next to him. After all, only Lombardon, now with Dewey's men, comes from the only orthodox army with the greatest military experience. And the others, Philip and Daniel, have never really been in the army.
“Gentlemen, I don't think it's that bad.” There's a glimmer in Lombardon's eyes: “Don't forget, outside, there's the Knight Robert and his two infantry regiments! ”
The Robert Knight is not in Langcheng at this moment. As the infantry leader of the Tulip family's private army, the Robert Knight is now nominally full of four infantry regiments, 16,000 men. In fact, one of the most elite infantry regiments stayed in the capital, Lancheng, to guard the capital.
An infantry regiment was ordered to be stationed in the former capital city of Gillatte, now the “secret factory” of Dewey.
The remaining two infantry regiments, 8,000, were scattered throughout Desa 'a province to serve as local guards.
Philip frowned and raised his concerns: “True, but the two infantry regiments under the Knight Robert were scattered throughout the country, and… those two regiments were mixed with veterans and recruits, and the combat power was not absolutely reassuring. If you encounter a large stock of prairie cavalry, you can easily be eaten by the other party if you can't help it. ”
“But don't forget… the prairie also broke up the army and snuck in.” Lombardon shouted, "Though there were 10,000 of them, they were less terrible when they broke up. And our troops are all stationed in towns, and with the cautious character of a Robert knight, the officers he transferred should be very careful. These spring plays, the Northwest Army moves, the Duke has long ordered guards everywhere to be careful. If the prairies want to attack, they don't have much chance. As long as our local army keeps the door tight, there won't be much problem… Of course, we can't just sit around and send someone out. However, I mean, don't be overly pessimistic, it's not as bad as you might think. ”
Dewey muttered for a moment and, as the supreme leader, he made the decision: “I trust the Knight Robert, who is a trustworthy man, and I am sure that under his leadership, he will not let those prairie wolves take advantage of much… However, our problem now is to find a way to send the cavalry out! Otherwise, it's been a long time and it's always a relief. ”
The Duke made the decision, so the people below stopped arguing. Everybody look at Dewey.
“We need a way out.” Dardanelle: “The Northwest Army has laid out the siege! Since they colluded with the prairies, they would never let our troops out of their siege! General Lombardon's men went out last night to spy, and these prairie men sent several thousand cavalry men to patrol around our city, and they were vigilant. It's unlikely you want to dive out. If you want to go out... it's just a break-in! Sir... Perhaps we should be ready to fight with the Northwest Army!! ”
Dewey glanced at Dardanelle and looked at Lombardon and several officers behind him, all with a tenacious and leapfrogging expression.
“Strike hard?” Dewey thought about it, his eyebrows raised, and he was about to give the order, and suddenly Philip whispered, "My lord, perhaps I have a way. ”
“Hmm?”
Philip didn't panic and smiled on his face: "My lord, you forgot that the Marquis of Lester is still in town. I hear General Lugo of the Northwest Army is under the Marquis' loyal skirt! I'm sure the Northwest Army won't dare to stop the Lesters from leaving town. ”
After a pause, Philip laughed: "Mrs. Lister is here this time. But there's a team of Leicester's White Feather Knights! ”
Dewey's eyes shine.
Philip continued with a smile: "In your friendship with the Marquise of Lester, borrow the name of the Knights of the Whitefeathers, it shouldn't be difficult. The only hard thing to do is equip it. Fortunately, the most famous feature of the Whitefeather Knights is the White Horse Silver Armor. White Horse We have a lot of it ourselves, if not enough, make some fuel fake, in a hurry, the other party can not see any blossoms. As for the silver knight armor, it should be able to gather up in the warehouse... Finally, just borrow the name of the White Feathers Knights of the Lester family. If you want to come to the Northwest Army, be embarrassed to intercept the Leicester cavalry regiment. If necessary, we can lie about the Marquise being in the line, and they won't dare to intercept! ”
“But... the White Feather Knights came this time with only 200 people... and, as everyone knows, the White Feather Knights had a total of only 500 men, and we had 3,000 cavalry men! Everyone knows it's a fake.” Dardanelle frowned.
Philip smiled, without saying anything, and Dewey smiled, “It's not that hard! According to a cavalier with four squadrons, our team would not be suspicious if they hadn't checked 800. We divided the 3,000 cavalry into four teams and went out in four directions. Hmm, even if they meet each other's cavalry, they can't see anything...”
There are no phones or cell phones in this world! Even if four teams encounter enemy interceptions at the same time, each other's armies cannot communicate with each other! Unable to communicate instantly, even if the four teams were discovered at the same time, the other party did not know that we had four “White Feather Knights" out at the same time! By the time they found out, our cavalry was long gone.
The only problem is... I owe the Marquis Lester another favor!
•
Indeed, the Marquis of Lister agreed without any hesitation to Dewey's request. Even she offered to lend all the real 200 White Feather Knights she brought to Dewey! Two hundred men split into four teams and left the city with four cavalry units under Dewey, each carrying dozens of true White Feather Cavaliers, making it easier to mix up even if you encounter enemies.
In addition, Mrs. Lister made a small request to have Muse go out with Dewey.
“After all, Muse is the heir to the family, with him beside you, even if the Northwest Army really intercepts and Muse shows up, I'm sure...” Marquise Lister smiled when she said here: “Even if Lugo was present, she would give us the face of the family. ”
Dewey thought about it. Though it's a little inconvenient to go out and take the muse with him, if you do fight... just do it! As long as this kid is honest with himself, take care of him a little more. With his current strength, a magician with six levels of strength, can't you take care of a kid?
Phillip was indeed a capable man, and in the shortest possible time, he had built up enough silver armor from the warehouse, even though it wasn't enough, to paint it with simple paint, and so did the horses.
Before noon, the four gates of Lulan City opened simultaneously, and the four cavalry teams stormed out of the capital city from four directions.
According to the allocation, Dewey brought his own team, Lombardon took his own team, Hussein took his own team, and the last team lacked a leader. Although there was a cavalry captain, the officer's samurai rank was not high, so if you encounter a prairie wolf... those guys might come with a Shaman wizard! After all, there must be a good accompaniment!
After a while, Dewey invited the Alpha Guard Captain out to follow the team.
In this way, the four teams, their own team, have their own existence, a Level 6 magician, plus even though they can't summon them on a weekday, the key moment will surely save their own Semel. Twenty-eight magicians are also on their own team, so many people have enough weight.
The Lombardon team, this 250th general, is pretty good. In case, Dewey also invited two disciples of the Erik Mage to follow the team in Lombardon.
Hussein doesn't have to say... as long as the Dragons don't mess around, there's no one on the continent who can get it right with Hussein! Shaman Wizard? Hmm, a saint, even if the White Robe Magician meets, weighs his weight!
Guardian Alpha, also has eight levels of strength. A master who can fight opposite the Holy Knights won't be a problem against the Prairie Cavalry, will he?
The only one left to tell is the one who left Lancheng behind!
Dardanelle, as Lord City Watch, stayed. But Dewey hesitated for a moment and finally found Miss Nicole and Vivian.
“Dardanelle, Her Majesty Queen Medusa, you know each other.” Dewey smiled bitterly: “You should also know that it is best not to expose her identity, otherwise she will be in big trouble! So, before you have to, unless the Northwest Army really dares attack the city, never ask Medusa to do it! Do you understand?”
Dardanelle and Dewey had an ice-covered forest adventure, and was naturally impressed by this horrible beauty snake, who even promised. With Her Majesty the Terrible Queen sitting in town, even if the Northwest Army did attack the city, Dardanelle felt much more confident.
“What if they do attack the city?” It was Medusa herself who raised the issue.
“So...” Dewey grinned coldly: "Don't hesitate... let go of the murder!!” But Dewey sighed: “Unfortunately, Miss Nicole, your petroleum technique, though powerful, is not mass destructive magic… you are naturally not afraid when you encounter a single master, but a thousand horses, you are no longer good at it. ”
Unexpectedly, Queen Medusa, who had a faint face, suddenly smiled, still closed her eyes and raised her head to the sky.
“Dewey, don't worry, I have... hair. If necessary, I won't mind turning the city within ten miles into a hell of a world. ”
