Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 30
In the hall of Iris Castle.

The busy Yaden returned to the territory without delay, and rushed to report the news, "Master, Earl Violet is gathering soldiers to attack Iris Collar."

"Can there be a specific date and how many troops will be dispatched?"

"Not yet. Ndom went to Tulip Town to inquire further. When I come back, I will report to the young master to make preparations. The rest of the people are still gathering the blacksmith nearby."

Charles turned his head and said to Fina: "Go and tell the housekeeper Loki to call Iris Vice Captain Andrew, Knight Commander Rice, and Political Officer Mina to discuss urgent matters."

Charles looked at Yaden and said, "It took a few days from when you heard the news to when you came back."

Arden replied: "I got the news and went back immediately. I didn't care about the horses. I arrived in one day and one night." Arden felt a little distressed when he thought of this. His war horse was bought by the young master from Tulip Town not long ago. Concerned about horsepower, it seems to be useless.

Charles estimated that if Earl Violet sent troops to start from Tulip Town, it would take three days to march normally to Maitun, and it would take another day to reach Iris Town.

"It's been a long journey, let's go down and wash up first." Charles called the servant.

After a while, Knight Commander Rice, Deputy Commander Andrew, and Political Officer Mina came together.

Rice was the first to speak, "Master, what happened?"

Charles' face was solemn, and he said, "Earl Violet is about to send troops."

Rice continued to ask: "When will we set off and how many troops will we send?"

Arden said, "I don't know for now, but all the Violet infantry who looted near Tulip Town have been summoned, and they should come out in full force."

The number of people should be about the same as last time. Earl Violet couldn't recruit soldiers from Tulip Town, which was burned, killed and looted.

Mina said cautiously: "It's better to send some Iris infantry to Maimaitun, relying on the defense of the village, gather the troops near the castle, and they will be able to defend the castle."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone stopped talking and turned their attention to Charles, as if they were waiting for him to make up his mind whether to take the initiative to attack or passively defend.

Charles caught the expressions of the crowd, Mina looked a little scared, he looked like a dove, Rice should be a neutral, as for Andrew, the deputy head he just appointed, rubbing shoulders, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers , the hawks are undoubtedly.

Charles felt that someone was staring at him closely. Charles turned around and saw his future wife, Fina Tulip, staring at him closely, shaking her head at him.

Although there is a family hatred, Fina firmly remembers what her father taught her. The most important mission of the family is to continue, not revenge. She suppresses the anger and sadness in her heart. As long as Shire guards the castle, she will send someone to report to the king, Iris Both the flower family and the tulip family can be preserved, which is the safest way.

Charles shook his head at her, turned around, looked at the crowd, and said, "This time we can defend the castle, but Earl Violet sent people to plunder. The newly established Iris Town, Baiyangtun, and the former Wheat Tun, Stone Tun, Yecao Tun, all of them are gone.

There are fewer serfs in the territory, how can they support so many soldiers, next time Earl Violet sends people to attack again, then how to deal with it.To ask the king for help? "

"No, how can the safety of the territory depend on others." Charles looked at Andrew and said, "Which village are you from?"

"Leader, I'm from Maitun."

"Earl Violet sent troops to attack. The first one is Maitun. Do you want to watch your relatives and friends get killed?"

"Regimental Commander, I am not afraid of death. I served as a soldier, worked hard, learned martial arts, and practiced fighting spirit. In the end, I watched my hometown being robbed in the castle. That's why I died of aggrieved death. Good man, defending your hometown and dying is a well-deserved death." .”

"Okay, that's what I want." Charles walked around in front of Rice and the others, returned to his original position, and said, "There is no word for surrender in the dictionary of the Iris family, and now Iris has an infantry regiment." With 1000 people and 200 knights, in the face of Earl Violet, who just had a big battle with only 500 infantry and 500 knights, he didn’t even dare to fight in the field, so he retreated directly to the castle.

"Mina, you dispatch ten days of food and grass to Maitun. Rice summons the knights, Andrew summons the infantry, and tomorrow I will review the troops. I will fight the dignified Earl Violet."

Charles knows that the centripetal force, cohesion, and spirit of his territory are all on the rise. If he loses this time or simply gives up the territory and defends the castle, he may never have another chance in the future. This battle must be won.

"Yes, sir."

"As ordered."

……

Tomorrow, on the school field.

The Iris Flower Infantry Regiment and the Knights gathered on the school grounds. Charles walked up to the high platform and looked down. The Iris Flower Infantry Regiment on the left was lined up neatly and silently, but they were wearing tattered armor and leather armor. Some of them didn't even have armor, and held machetes, large shields, and wooden spears in their hands.

The Iris Knights on the right have better equipment. At least one veteran has a piece of leather armor. The armor rate is above 60%. The horses neigh, as if they can feel the killing intent on the school field.

Charles sighed in his heart. If there were enough weapons, he would not say that he would win this battle, but at least he would not be defeated. But now he can only use all his means to motivate the soldiers, and the rest depends on God's will.

At this time, a coffin was lifted up to the high platform and placed next to Charles, and several large boxes were lifted up.The soldiers below looked at this scene in puzzlement.

Charles said: "In a few days, Earl Violet will attack Iris Collar. Someone suggested that I defend the castle. Earl Violet has more than 1000 soldiers, and we also have more than 1000 soldiers. It must be no problem to defend the castle."

"But, I don't want to. If Earl Violet can't attack Iris Castle, he will send troops to plunder wantonly. He will kill your parents, children, and rob your wives. The rich life in Iris Territory is built by everyone together. Can you let them be destroyed like this?"

The pre-arranged people in the crowd shouted: "No, if you dare to rob my wife, I will kill them."

"I have a knife in my hand, but I don't dare to protect my family. I'm no longer a bastard."

This atmosphere gradually infected everyone, "No."

"When he comes, I dare to fight them hard."

"They are all good boys of Iris, what is there to be afraid of." Charles took the machete handed over by Les, raised the knife, dropped it, and cut off the lock on one of the boxes. The box seemed to be overwhelmed, and the gold coins inside Roll out.

Xia Er said: "Have you seen the coffin next to me? There are only two results in this battle, victory or death. These are all the gold coins in the territory, a total of [-], and each person can receive one A gold coin, and it will be sent to you later."

"Tell me, warriors of the Iris family, are you willing to protect the glory of the Iris family and your homeland with blood and life?"

"Damn it, stab your head and lock your head. Even if I die on the battlefield, my children and mother-in-law can still live with this gold coin."

"I have a knife, what am I afraid of?"

This voice of personal discussion was gradually replaced by the simplest, shortest and most powerful voice, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Charles set the tone for this battle, carrying the coffin to fight, life and death!
