Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 41 The Dilemma of Baron Barty

In the study of Alocasia Flower Castle.

The bright moonlight shines into the room through the window. There are a few candles burning in the room. The moonlight and candlelight complement each other. The whole calla lily is very quiet. If you hold a glass of red wine, lean against the window and enjoy the moonlight, it will definitely not be interesting. .

The calla lily castle is relatively simple, roughly divided into three parts: the main building of the castle (inner fort), the fortress, and the outermost curtain wall (outer fort). Now the curtain wall has been breached, and the fortress has also been occupied. Batty Alocasia Baron Hua led dozens of people to defend the main castle.

Under such a critical situation, how could Barty Calla Lily Flower have the mood to look at the moon? Baron Barty looked around the study, and finally fixed his gaze on the front of his eyes.His wife Isabel Calla, his eldest son Libby Calla, younger Beam Calla, and youngest daughter Heath Calla, who is still unmarried, besides his married The eldest daughter, all his relatives are here.

Batty looked carefully at the faces of the four of them.Isabel's dignified and beautiful face couldn't hide her haggardness, and her usually beautiful big eyes were a little dim, as if there was worry hidden in them. Her long golden hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and it seemed that she hadn't taken care of it for a while.

Then his eyes slowly swept over the remaining three people.The eldest son, Libby, has matured a lot these days. The younger son and daughter seem to be very flustered. These days, they are frightened and frightened.

A hoarse voice sounded in the room, "Calamia Flower Castle can no longer be defended."

This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, and Libby Calla Lily said in disbelief: "Father, how is this possible? The main building of the castle is more than ten meters high. Even if they break through the gate, they have to follow the stairs one by one if they want to break in." How could the rest of them break through the main building of the castle."

The other three looked at Batty worriedly, as if expecting that Batty was just playing a joke on them.

"It's true that they can't get in, but the food in the inner castle is not enough." The unrealistic expectations were ruthlessly pierced, how could Baron Barty make a joke at this time.

"Isn't the first floor a warehouse? The food stored in it is enough for us to eat for at least two months, and it's only been a dozen days now."

Batty Calla Lily shook her head and said, "I cleared out some of the old grain inside. I originally planned to make room for this year's autumn grain, but who knew that Baron Harmon and Baron Vasha came to attack together and were rushing During the last autumn harvest."

After speaking, Batty sighed heavily, as if he was telling the misfortune of the Calla Lily Family.

"Father, how much food is left now?"

"The remaining food is not enough for everyone to feed for ten days." If the food of the knight order is reduced, it can last for another month, but this kind of thing is not realistic at all. Batty can guarantee that he will be loyal to him even after the food shortage. That is, the Knight Commander and another Lord Knight. As for the rest of the Knights, if they heard that there was no food in the main castle building, it would be fine if they didn't collapse and surrender on the spot.

So now the food of the Knights must be the same as before, and the news of the lack of food must not be leaked, otherwise they may not even last ten days.

Everyone panicked and turned their attention to Baron Batty, hoping that he could figure out a way to get out of this predicament.

But it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, what else can Batty do at this time.Now there is only one way that is not a solution, escape.

"There are two tunnels in the castle. I plan to divide you into three parts." Batty walked to the bookshelf as he spoke, fiddled with it a few times, and the bookshelf slowly separated. Batty knocked, opened the false door, and said : "Libby, you take your valet and walk this way."

"Bim, come with me." Batty led him to another tunnel, and showed him how to open it. Seeing that he had memorized it, he took him back to the study.

People were arranged for both tunnels, Heath Calla Lily was a little worried, how could her father arrange for her, but if her father hadn't made arrangements, it would be impossible to call her over in the middle of the night, she stared at Batty intently, as if waiting for him Open your mouth.

"In a few days, I will arrange a team of knights to lead you out." Batty set her sights on her daughter and her wife.

"Batty, what do you do then?" Isabel couldn't help but said, he arranged for everyone, but he didn't arrange for himself.

"I will lead the Knights to attack with you. When the time comes, I will attract their attention for you. Hurry up and evacuate. Remember, the sooner the better."

Batty stared out the window in a daze, and it took a while before he spoke slowly, as if answering a question they hadn't asked. "Someone has to stop and stall for time. If everyone wants to leave, none of them may be able to leave. Besides, the glory of the Calla Lily family will always be defended. Even if the price is life."

Batty looked at his two sons, and said: "If you two can escape, go directly to Wangcheng, and don't think about going to Tulip Town to rescue soldiers. The messenger has been away for nearly a month, and Earl Tulip hasn't sent troops yet. Come to help, maybe he is already in danger."

It turned out that as early as Barty Calla Lily learned that the two barons were attacking together, Baron Barty sent a messenger to ask Lord Tulip for help. Counting the time spent on the road, the reinforcements should have arrived long ago.

But it hasn't come yet, which means that there is something wrong with Earl Tulip.The two barons joined forces to attack, which made Batty more convinced of his guess.

Batty was afraid that his two sons would ask for trouble for their so-called dignity, so he couldn't help but continue to ask, "Remember, the first mission of the family is continuation, and then revival. Never try to take revenge when you are weak. Sending you out is not to let you and the enemy perish together, but to keep the calla lily family from becoming extinct."

"Yes, father, we remember." Libby and Beam said rather humiliated.

Batty felt a little ashamed in his heart. He did have his own selfishness in this arrangement.In the past few days, he will rectify his morale, open the gate of the castle's main building, take the initiative to attack, and at the same time send a team of knights to protect his daughter and wife to break through.

But his daughter and his wife don't know how to ride a horse, so a carriage has to be arranged. When the enemy can't see the people in the carriage, they may mistakenly think that his son is also inside.By the time……

Both he and his daughter, his wife, are attracting the attention of the enemy. In order to cover the safe evacuation of his two sons, Batty sighed heavily in his heart, hoping that his daughter would not hate him. After all, only men can inherit the sea. In the Yuhua family, the daughter will change her surname after she gets married, how can she inherit and revive the Callaja family.
