Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 53 Tulip City
Tulip City has gradually returned to its former appearance. The wide and tidy streets in the city, the crowds, and the burned houses have disappeared. Instead, they are replaced by neatly trimmed wooden huts and clean and straight streets, rather than the messy buildings that were randomly built before.
The messenger from Mustang Town sighed a few words, and then rushed towards the Tulip Mansion following the instructions of the wooden sign erected beside the Lime Path.He whipped and galloped, shouting at the same time, motioning pedestrians to step aside.

Pedestrians on both sides hurriedly dispersed, leaving an avenue empty, talking a lot.

"Where did the war happen again?"

"I don't know, but it looks like it should be in a hurry."

It turned out that Shire had issued an order that galloping horses were not allowed in Tulip City. Of course, if there is an urgent matter, an exception can naturally be made.

The residents of Tulip City were worried. They had experienced the destruction of the city and their homes once, and they never wanted to experience it again. They secretly prayed in their hearts, hoping that Baron Shire would be safe and invincible.

The messenger didn't have the slightest intention of staying. After a while, he arrived at the Tulip mansion. After talking with the guard briefly, he was taken into the Tulip mansion.

In the hall, Fina Tulip, dressed in casual clothes, received him. Now she is the one who can make decisions in Tulip City. Butler Loki went to Sakura Town, and Shire was away in battle. In the huge mansion, except for the servants and the doorman As the guard of the Iris infantry, she was the only one left.

"Earl Geithner Coriopersus has sent troops and even occupied Flower Town." After hearing this, Fina repeated it to herself, feeling a little worried.

She hurriedly asked, "How many troops did Earl Geithner send?"

The messenger replied: "1000 people, about 500 knights, and about 500 infantry."

After all, the numbers are estimated from observations, and there can only be a rough idea, and some errors are normal.

Fina hurriedly called the servants beside her, and said, "Go and call Mr. Mina, the political officer, and Mr. Andrew, the deputy head of the Iris Flower Infantry Regiment."

The messenger stepped back knowingly.

After a while, Mr. Andrew walked in wearing a military uniform. It seemed that he had just finished training the Iris infantry.Andrew first bowed to salute, then stood aside, lowered his head, looked down, and remained silent.

A few quarters of an hour later, Mr. Mina also came, dressed in casual clothes, with sweat on his forehead, walked quickly into the hall with small steps, and stood aside, lowered his head, looked down, and remained silent.

These are derived from their respect and admiration for Charr.

Fina suppressed the worries in her heart and repeated what the messenger said just now, but unconsciously, her voice was still unavoidably sad.

The two of them were also startled, they couldn't help feeling flustered, and couldn't help asking: "Where is the young master stationed now?"

"On a hillside near Flower Town."

"The army must be dispatched as soon as possible. The young master's current situation is very dangerous, and there should be no delay." Andrew said in a deep voice.

Mina also nodded aside. After all, all their honor and disgrace belonged to Charles, and Mina was born as a castle servant, and Andrew was born as a serf, and both were promoted by Charles himself.

"At the same time, we must also inform the knight commander, Mr. Rice, to leave immediately." Andrew suggested that he often held meetings with Charles, and was taught by Charles from time to time, and he was quite familiar with the war.Without cavalry, facing the enemy, they are like blind men, and their situation will be very passive.

"Charles has sent a messenger to inform Mr. Rice. What we need to do now is to gather food and grass, and attack quickly to help Charles." Fina said with a determined face.

She put her eyes on Mina, and Mina immediately replied respectfully: "Madam, yesterday Battalion Commander Lake led a hundred Iris infantry to bring back 150 carts of food, and the food can be assembled today."

Fina put her eyes on Andrew again, and Andrew also replied: "Madam, Iris's infantry can be assembled today, but how many people should be left to protect Tulip City?"

Fina looked stern, and said: "Let's all go, leave no one behind, and Mr. Barron will lead the guards to take care of Tulip City."

"But, who will guarantee your safety." Mina looked worried. After all, Fina is the first daughter of the Tulip family and is the hope of Master Charles to inherit the earl. Her safety is naturally very important.

"Iris soldiers can't protect my safety." Fina looked at the two and explained, "I want to go with the army."

"Madam, the situation of Master Charles is very dangerous. This march will be very fast. It is estimated that he will travel 60 miles a day. Even the long-trained Iris infantry may not be able to keep up. Madam, you..."

Andrew felt that this was absurd. He wanted to dispel Fina's idea of ​​joining the army. After all, this is the young master's wife, and the army is full of men. If there is a mistake, even if he apologizes with death, it will be difficult to offset it. .

"As Shire's wife, I naturally have to live and die with him." Fina looked at the two of them and continued, "What's more, the Knight Commander Hardy in Flower Town was promoted by my father himself. If you don't believe that he will betray the Tulip family, I will personally persuade him to surrender."

"Don't worry, everything is based on Shire's safety. If I can't keep up with the march of the Iris infantry, you can send a team of soldiers to escort me back immediately. Don't delay the trip for me."

Andrew could only nod helplessly in agreement. After the three of them reached an agreement, the entire Tulip City began to operate like a big machine.The grain that had just been unloaded was reloaded, and the residents of Tulip City spontaneously gathered to help transport the grain. They had been looted by Earl Violet and they no longer believed in the army of other earls.

The Iris infantry went to the craftsman to repair the damaged ordnance. On the battlefield, this guy was alive, but there was no problem.

All these preparations have been completed, and it is already evening. If we follow the normal situation, we will take a rest for a day and start tomorrow morning.After all, when marching at night, there may be a team of 500 people, and there may be only 200 people left by dawn.

However, although the Iris infantry were born as serfs, after joining the army, they had plenty of food, and Shire had ordered that some animal livers must be added every five days, so the night blindness of the Iris infantry improved a lot.

The iris infantry went out against the night, the bright moonlight scattered on the ground, the wind passed through the forest, the iris infantry lit torches, and moved forward slowly under the moonlight. I can't explain the meaning of the unknown, like a giant beast with its mouth wide open.

Calla Potato Collar
A very sad thing happened. All the men in the Calla Lily family who had the right to inherit the title died 'unfortunately'. The despicable and shameless Baron Harmon and Baron Vasha not only killed Barty Barty, but also killed his two sons. son.

The brave and fearless Knight Riser came one step too late, and only two people, Heath and Jaina, were saved.Now only the two of them can inherit the title.
