Law of the Devil Chapter 223: [White Feather Knights]
Chapter 223 [White Feather Knights]
Holding a glass filled by Dewey himself, Alpha quietly looked at the amber-colored liquor in the glass, as if a bit shocked.
... well, have a drink with me ...
Have a drink with me ...
The count who patted himself on the shoulder, boasted that he did a good job, and then pulled himself to drink ... now?
I'm afraid he has returned to his original hometown of Rollin, guarding the castle, dissipating his pride, and slowly growing old in the ordinary ...
Yes, that's it.
Along with mediocrity, slowly grow old.
Thinking of this, Alpha suddenly felt an impulse in his heart. He really wanted to throw the glass of wine out of his hands!
He wants to laugh, laughs loudly, and laughs wildly!
I once vowed to guard my mission ... it's gone!
I, the family for whom I was willing to die ... It's gone!
I, the vow for which I could give my life ... It's gone!
And ... the one who could make himself willing to die with an order ... he's gone now! !!
Count! grown ups! Raymond ...
Now you are probably sitting in the study in Rolling Castle, sitting in front of the fireplace, baking on fire, and covering your knees with blankets. The only thing that needs your thinking is the biggest thing, I'm afraid it's just something for dinner, or tomorrow's Will it rain ...
Funny! !! !!
It's not just you, it's ridiculous, I'm Alpha! !!
For more than forty years of my life, most of my life has been dedicated to that mission in my heart! But in the end ...
I still hobbled and tried to move forward ... but Count Raymond. How about you
You left? !!
Joke! A joke! !!
So what am I? What is my alpha?
You shared your lofty aspirations and you left. Yes, you failed, you can retreat.
What about me? Can I return it?
At this moment, Alpha's heart suddenly felt extremely tired.
He sighed softly, retracted his gaze at the wine in the glass, and closed his eyes. Drink it all.
... that's it ...
A little smile suddenly appeared in the corner of Alpha's mouth. The smile was full of mockery and exhaustion.
I have lost my goal for a lifetime, now I do n’t even know what I am doing.
The only thing I can do is to follow the man ’s last charge before leaving: help his son until ...
Hum, know the day you die.
Alfa lowered the glass slightly and nodded at Dewey. Just turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute, Uncle Alpha." Dewey suddenly called out the old guard.
Alfa stopped and looked back at Du Wei: "What else is there to command, Master?"
Du Wei took a deep breath and looked at the handsome middle-aged knight in front of him. Du Wei suddenly felt a little unease.
Because he sees the ground from the eyes of this man is a kind of numbness that cannot be shaken! Even ... in his eyes, he had a faint hint of ... death! !!
"Uncle Alpha." Dewey rounded from behind his desk and walked to the guard. His tone was serious: "I think, since we left the imperial capital, we haven't had a chance to talk about it well. I remember when I was a kid, you held me ... At that time, in my opinion, you were me The strongest warrior I know. And the most trusted guardian in the family. "
Alpha seemed to smile, and said lightly: "Master ... that's just my duty."
"It's not that simple." Du Wei shook his head, his voice was low: "I know. You have been very depressed since your father disappeared and retreated ... Have you been desperate for the family?"
Alpha didn't speak.
Du Wei slowly said: "Everyone now calls me 'Duke of Tulips'. Even on the official records of the Empire, my last name has been changed to 'Rudolph'. But ... I want to say to you What I said was that I knew in my heart that my land name was Dewey Rowling! It was 'Rolling'! Not 'Rudolph' !!!! "
Alpha still didn't speak.
"Uncle Alpha, I know your disappointment with the family." Du Wei tried to use the most sincere tone: "But do you know ... I promised my mother! As long as I have one day, the Rollin family hopes It will never be cut off! Although everyone now calls me 'Tulip'. Or 'Rudolph'. But I assure you that one day, I will let the name 'Rowling' stand on the mainland again! "
Looking at the determined expression on Dewey's face, Alpha's eyes didn't seem to fluctuate much. The middle-aged knight groaned for a while and suddenly asked, "Master, did you see any scene when you first returned to the Rollin Plain?"
Dou Wei froze.
He then suddenly appeared in his mind two years ago, he was "matched" back to the Rollin Plain, when the team just crossed the Rollin River, when the team stepped on the Rollin Plain, The knights and the family members of the Rowling family cheered for joy.
Remember that at that time, all the cavalrymen were cheering, and some people even forgot the discipline and rushed back and forth, letting the horseshoes trample on the black dirt happily! Even their chiefs did not restrain these excited subordinates at the moment, but sat on the horse and looked at it with a smile!
Everyone's face is filled with that proud smile from the bottom of his heart. All of them took off their hats and threw in the sky and shouted, "Here we are !! The Rollin people have returned to their own land! ! "
This is a sense of belonging and honor to the family! It is a sense of belonging that has been deeply imprinted in the blood!
Even Mard ... this predecessor, who is not so good in his daily life, said to Du Wei very seriously, "Don't call us Kot provinces, but call us Rollin Plains! Yes. Luo Lin, not a province! "
That was the first time Du Wei was shocked when he came to this world. It was also the first time that he was infected by those who were cheering home, facing the rich plains of the Rollin Plain, listening to the cheers of the cavalry. Even Du Wei, who had been so ashamed. Can't help but give birth to a few expectations for this "home".
Everything, all glory, all cohesion, all devotion, all come from one name:
Rolling!
Recalling the scene of the original place, Dewey suddenly felt that he could understand the heart of Captain Alpha!
"Master." Alpha whispered: "Perhaps you are still young. At your age, you can't understand what the name Rollin means to people like us. What does it mean! Maybe you do n’t know, when After the collapse of the family, there were crying sounds everywhere on the Rollin Plain. When the private army of the Rollin family was forcibly disbanded, there were even faithful knights who committed suicide on the spot to accompany the family to funeral! These ... you do n’t know . "
Du Wei opened his mouth and he couldn't speak.
Alfa bowed deeply to Dewey. At this moment, the knight's face finally showed a touch of excitement: "Maybe. It's ridiculous to say such words in my capacity ... but my heart That's it. In my heart, I am already a member of the Rollin family ... My father, my grandfather, and even my great-great-grandfather are all loyal members of the Rollin family! People like me. I have been educated since birth. It is my mission to be loyal to my family all my life. Even if I sacrifice my blood and life, I must defend the glory of the family! When necessary, I can hold my sword without hesitation, But I challenged any enemy! My life was tightly tied to the family, even my offspring, my bloodline ... But all of a sudden, everything changed! The bonds that originally held me tightly were cut by the knife. The ground is cut off! My land's mission. All my land, my land's glory, and my loyalty suddenly cease to exist! Master, at this time, although I am still alive, my heart is dead. "
Du Wei stared at Alpha quietly.
"Although ..." Alpha sighed slowly, his voice deepened: "Although. Master, you are determined to reinvigorate the family ... Although you are from the Rollin family. But ... it may be difficult for you Understand. From the perspective of all Rollins, even though your current title is higher than that of the Earl of the Year! Even if you now have power over the Rolling family ... But in my opinion ... Oh, please forgive me, in my opinion, you can't represent 'Luo Lin'. "
"... Why ?!" Du Wei's voice was a little hoarse.
"Because your current title is 'Duke of Tulips', not 'Earl of Rollin'! Because your current territory is the province of Desa, not 'Rolling Plain'! Because your capital is built by Loulan Lake , Not on the side of the "Rolling River"! "Alpha said without hesitation:" For an ancient family like the Rolling House ... Tradition is better than everything! "
"But I will try to recover everything!" Du Wei clenched his fists: "One day, I will get back to the Rolling Plains! Return to the Rolling River! Rebuild the Knights of the Rolling Family! Uncle Alpha ... If you are depressed now, who else can I count on to help me? Although I have a lot of people now, there is only you who is the real Rollin family !!! "
Looking at the Alpha Guard still silent, Du Wei added: "And ... my father wants you to stay with me, not just to help me, someday ..."
"Master!" The head of Alpha Guard suddenly flashed a spark in his eyes! So ... seems to be angry?
"Master!" Alpha's voice suddenly became cold: "Don't mention your father to me anymore. Because in my heart, the real Lord Count Raymond of the Rowling family is dead! Now live The one in Rolling Castle is just a body that has lost its soul and is willing to grow old in mediocrity! "
Du Wei was surprised. He couldn't imagine that when Alpha mentioned his father, he had such a grudge in his heart? !!
Isn't he supposed to be loyal to Old Raymond?
"For ... why?" Du Wei asked.
"Because he didn't die bravely! He survived cowardly." Alpha said slowly: "The family fell down ... I would prefer Lord Earl to accompany the family to the funeral instead of watching him. Become an aging mediocre man! If that is the case, my Alpha will also commit suicide with him for funeral !! The coup failed that day, and if he wants to, I can fight to protect him from the imperial capital! Return to the Rollin Plain for rectification Army, fight again in Japan! But he chose to surrender! He thought that this would save the family. Avoid more bloodshed? Wrong! Raymond was wrong! "
When Alpha was extremely angry, suddenly a strong spirit appeared in his body! His emotions seemed a little out of control, and he said loudly: "When we Rollins lost our soul, lost our family's glory and dignity ... It is more uncomfortable to live in humiliation than to die! Raymond was wrong! Wrong !!! "
Looking at Dewey's surprised look, Alpha suddenly flashed a deep heartache in his eyes, his fighting spirit converged and he bowed his head. Slowly said: "Master, please forgive me for losing my way ... I believe in your determination and I also believe in your sincerity. But now, I don't see any hope!"
"Why ... why can't I see hope?" Du Wei frowned.
"You!" Alpha sneered suddenly: "You are already the Duke and you have the territory of a province ... Then, why should you go back to the Rollin Plain? Whether it is the Regent or any emperor, OK. Will one of his subordinates be allowed to own two territories? What is a family? To be clear, they are: land and people !!! Now, your land is in the province of Desa! Your people are Desa People in the province! These people are not members of the Rollin family! The real Rollin family people live on the Rollin Plain! For hundreds of years. They have lived on the Rollin Plain for generations, drinking the Rollin River Grow up! Even if one day, you really erected a Rollin flag in the province of Desa ... I would not agree that this is the Rollin family! Because this land is not Rollin's land! And here it is People ... None of them are Rollins !!! "
Du Wei was speechless at last. Alpha glanced at Dewey, and suddenly he fell on one knee. With one hand across my chest, I made the most solemn knight ceremony: "Master, I deeply understand your aspirations. However, I don't really see any hope now. Maybe you will achieve far better than that of Luo Perhaps the great achievements of the Lin family's ancestors will always be engraved in history ... but, forgive me, these glories do not obscure the fact that the real Rolling family no longer exists.
After all this, Alpha got up, stopped talking, and turned away from the study.
Du Wei was silent for a long time, and he sighed long. He had to admit that Alpha was right, really right!
Even if I really raise the Rollin flag in the northwest in the future ... can it be regarded as the "Rolling family" here?
Hundreds of thousands of people who live on the Rollin Plain. Is really the Rollin family! Desa Province ... After all, Desa Province!
Looks like this. He said to himself that the glory of the family should be restored ... It was too easy to think.
If you want to really restore Rollin, unless you can get back to Rollin Plains. Take back hundreds of thousands of true Luo Lin people! But ... how could Prince Chen agree with such a thing? How could he return the Rollin Plain to himself? How is it possible to return hundreds of thousands of Rollin people to themselves?
This night ... it's long!
During the day, Du Wei did not let himself go down. He shivered and walked out of the study.
No matter what the future holds, the question at hand is the most real.
The 40,000 Northwest Army is ten miles outside the city. Another 10,000 prairie wolves have sneaked into their territory.
As a lord and master of this land, of course, Du Wei cannot allow such things!
After convening everyone to board the gate, Du Wei looked into the distance, and the hawk-eye technique was exhibited. Du Wei could easily see the camp of the Northwest Army.
Overnight, the Northwest Army settled in a camp ten miles away from the city.
"Last night I sent a few brothers to inquire while taking advantage of the night." Longbatton pouted and said, "The Northwest Army's gang of **** have increased their troops again. Last night they sent a large number of puppets. People from an infantry regiment escorted the supplies. According to my estimation, the grains sent were heavy enough to allow these 40,000 people outside to eat and drink here for a month. That is to say ... these guys want to surround us in the city A month. "
Du Wei sneered: "It really cost me!"
Then he announced: "Gentlemen, I have bad news to announce. I got reliable news. These Northwest Army troops came here with bad intentions! They blocked the door to keep us out. In fact, Cover the prairie people! I get reliable news that at least 10,000 prairie people have infiltrated our territory and become zero. Now they are wildly spreading in our territory.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Du Wei's group changed their faces!
Staff Philip's brain moved fastest, he said immediately: "Master! We must send troops out as soon as possible! Everyone knows the terribleness of prairie people! They are a group of bloodthirsty wolves! If you let such a group of wolves enter our land In terms of territory ... then the people of Dessa province will suffer huge losses! These guys will burn and plunder, but they will not be soft! "
"But we don't have enough troops." Dardaniel frowned. "Master. Are you sure that the prairie people have been reduced to zero? In this case, we have only a few thousand people in our hands, and we'll figure it out, Desa. The province is so big, where do we go to find those bastards? "
Philip immediately exclaimed: "Master Dardanil! Do we just watch the prairie wolves scatter wildly on our territory? It ’s all our people who bleed!"
Dadanier immediately defended: "Mr. Philip, I don't mean that! But I'm thinking from a purely military perspective. We don't have enough troops. If we want to deal with steppe people. We must use cavalry, and Cavalry ... "
At this point, he glanced at Longbatton. The meaning of this look is obvious: not many of our cavalry!
For the first time, Dewey had doubts about Longbatten's "elite soldiers" strategy. Because of the high requirements of the two hundred and fifty generals on the quality of cavalry, Du Wei now has only one cavalry regiment.
Three thousand cavalry.
How to deal with ten thousand prairie wolf? And it's also a prairie wolf that turns into zero scattered action! These people will definitely wreak havoc like locusts!
This Long Barton, although Du Wei also supports the strategy of elite soldiers. But ... the number is too small! It's been a year since I came to the Northwest. The infantry has nearly 20,000 people, and a full division has been created, while the cavalry has remained at a poor 3,000 ...
"Cough !!!" Longbottom finally coughed and spoke.
He made that noise. The people nearby were quiet. After all, at present, Du Wei's men, only Lombarton is the only orthodox military origin, the richest military experience. Other people, whether Philip or Dada Neil, have never really stayed in the army.
"Gentlemen, I don't think the situation is so bad." Longbatton's eyes showed a hint of savageness: "Don't forget. Outside, there are Robert Knight and his two infantry regiments!"
Robert Knight is not in Loulan at this moment. As the infantry leader of the tulip family's private army that Du Weichen designated, Robert Cavaliers now has four infantry regiments with a nominal name of 16,000. In fact, one of the most elite infantry regiments remained in the capital, Loulan City, to guard the capital.
An infantry regiment was ordered to be stationed in the former capital of Giliat, now the "secret factory" in Deauville.
The remaining two infantry regiments, eight thousand, are scattered throughout Desa province. Serve as a local garrison.
Philip frowned. He raised his own worries: "That's right, but the two infantry regiments under the Cavaliers of Robert are scattered and stationed. And ... the two infantry regiments are a mix of veterans and recruits, and their combat effectiveness cannot It is absolutely reassuring. If you encounter a large number of grassland cavalry, you can easily be eaten by the opponent if you can't catch it. "
"But don't forget ... the prairie people also broke up and sneaked in." Longbatton cried out, "Although they have 10,000 people, they are not so terrible after being broken up. And we All the troops are stationed in towns. With the cautious character of Robert Knight, the officers he mobilized should be very careful. These days, in the spring exercises, the Northwest Army relocates, and the Duke has long ordered that the guards everywhere be careful. Grassland If people want to sneak attack, there are not many opportunities. As long as our local guards strictly guard the portal, there won't be much problem ... Of course, we can't wait to be killed, we still have to send someone out. But I mean, you do n’t need to Too pessimistic, the situation is not as bad as expected.
Du Wei groaned. As the supreme leader, he made the decision: "I trust Robert Knight. He is a trustworthy man. I believe that under his leadership, those prairie wolves will not occupy How much cheaper ... only. Our problem now is that we have to find a way to send cavalry out! Otherwise, it will take a long time and it will always be reassuring. "
The Duke makes a decision, so the people below will not argue. Everyone looked at Dewey.
"We need a way to get out." Dardaniel said: "The Northwest Army made it clear that it was a siege! Since they colluded with the prairie people, we will never let our army out of their encirclement! Long Patton's generals went out to inquire last night. These prairie men sent several thousand-man cavalry to patrol around our city. They were very vigilant. It is impossible to dive out. If you want to go out ... Only forcibly! My lord ... maybe we need to be ready to fight with the Northwest Army !! "
Dou Wei glanced at Dardanelle. He looked at Longbatton and the officers behind him, and everyone had a look of determination and eagerness.
"Did you fight?" Du Wei thought for a moment, his eyebrows were raised, and he was about to order. Suddenly Philip whispered, "Master. Maybe I have a solution."
"Huh?"
Philip didn't panic, with a smile on his face: "Sir, you have forgotten, Marquis Liszt is still in the city now. I heard that General Lugau of the Northwest Army is faithfully the Marquise. Minister under the skirt! Presumably, the people of the Northwest Army did not dare to stop the people of the Liszt family from leaving the city.
A pause, Philip laughed: "Mrs. Liszt is here this time. Bring a team of Liszt's" White Feather Knights! "
Dewey's eyes lit up.
Philip continued to laugh: "As an adult, you and the Marquise of Liszt have a friendship. It should not be difficult to borrow the name of the White Feather Knights. The only difficult thing is the equipment. Fortunately, the White Feather Knights The most famous feature is the white horse and silver armor. We have a lot of white horses. If not enough, we will use some fuel to fake. The other party can not see any flaws in haste. As for the silver knight armor, it should be able to gather in the warehouse. Enough ... Finally, you only need to borrow the white feather knight regiment of the Liszt family. You can feel sorry to stop the Liszt cavalry in the Northwest Army. Medium, they dare not intercept it! "
"But ... the White Feather Knights came here with a total of only 200 people ... and, everyone knew. The White Feather Knights had only a total of 500 people. Our cavalry has 3,000 people! Rush out, everyone knows it's fake. "Dardanelle frowned.
Philip smiled. Without saying a word, Du Wei already smiled and said, "This is not difficult! According to a knight with four concubines, as long as we do not check 800, we will not cause doubt. We divided the 3000 cavalry into four teams , Going out in four directions. Hmm, even if they meet the cavalry of the opponent, they can't see anything ... "
There are no phones or cellphones in this world! Even if the four teams encountered enemy interception at the same time, the opposing armies could not contact each other! No immediate contact, even if the four teams were found at the same time, the other party did not know that we had four "White Feather Knights" going out at the same time! When they found out, our cavalry had already left.
The only problem is ... I owe Marquis Liszt again!
Sure enough, the marquise of Liszt asked Dewey without hesitation. Even she took the initiative to lend all the real two hundred White Feather Knights she brought to Du Wei! Two hundred people were divided into four teams, followed by Du Wei's four teams of cavalry, and each team carried dozens of real white feather knights, so that even if they encountered enemies, it was easier to mix them up.
In addition, Mrs. Liszt made a small request to have Muse go out with Dewey.
"After all, the Muse is the heir of the family. With him by your side, even if the Northwest Army really intercepted it, and Muse came forward, presumably ..." When Marquis Liszt said here, she smiled slightly: Even if Lu Gao is present, it will give our family this face. "
Du Wei thought for a while, although it was not convenient to go out with the boy Muse, if it really hit him ... nothing! As long as this kid is honest with him, take care of him a little more, with his current strength, a magician with level 6 strength, can't he take care of a kid?
Philip is indeed a capable guy. In the shortest time, he picked up enough silver armor from the warehouse, even if it was not enough, he simply painted it with paint. As for horses, it was the same. Dealt with.
Until noon, the four gates of Loulan City opened at the same time, and the four cavalry rushed out of the capital city from four directions.
According to the distribution, Dewey has a team, Longbottom has a team, Hussein has a team, and the last team lacks a leader. Although there is a cavalry captain, the officer's samurai level Not high, it's hard to guarantee that if you meet the prairie wolf ... Those guys might bring a shaman wizard! After all, there must be a master to follow the army!
After thinking about it for a while, Dewey asked Captain Alpha to follow the team.
In this way, the four teams, their own team, have their own existence, a sixth-level magician, and although they can't be summoned on weekdays, they will definitely save their Saimel at critical moments. Twenty-eight magic students also followed their own team. So many people are enough.
Lombatton's team, this two hundred and fifty general is quite good. Just in case, Du Wei also invited the two disciples of Master Alec to follow the team of Longbottom.
Hussein needless to say ... As long as the Dragons do not come to trouble, then there is no one on the mainland who can put Hussein right! Shaman? Hmm, a paladin, even if a white robe magician meets, he must weigh his weight!
The Alpha Guard, also has eight levels of strength. A master who can charge against the Holy Knights, should not be a problem with the grassland cavalry.
The only thing to explain is the people who stay in Loulan City!
Dadanier stayed as a city defender. But Du Wei hesitated, and finally found Miss Nicole and Vivienne.
"Dada Neil, Her Majesty Medusa, you know." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "You should also know that her identity should not be exposed, otherwise, the trouble will be great! So, Unless it is a last resort, unless the Northwest Army really dares to attack the city, you must never ask Medusa to take a shot! Do you understand? "
Dada Neil had experienced the frozen forest adventure with Dewey, and was naturally very impressed with this terrible beautiful snake, and he repeatedly agreed. With this terrible queen sitting in the town, even if the Northwest Army really attacked the city, Dardanelle felt that he had a lot more control over the town.
"What if the opponent really sieges the city?" It was Medusa who raised this question.
"So ..." Du Wei sneered: "Don't hesitate ... let go and kill someone!" But Du Wei sighed: "Unfortunately, Miss Nicole, although your petrochemicals are powerful, they are not mass destruction Sexual magic ... you are not afraid of meeting a single master, but you are not good at it.
Unexpectedly, Queen Medusa's indifferent face suddenly smiled, she still closed her eyes, but raised her head to face the sky.
"Dou Wei, don't worry, I still have ... hair. When necessary, I don't mind turning ten miles below the city into a **** on earth."
