Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World
Chapter 12: Desperate neighbors
"Everyone is there, line up!" Just when everyone was stunned, it was Battalion Commander Bryce who was the first to react, "You, go and pull all the companies in the camp over."
Half a month of training had worked. The soldiers quickly lined up in their usual formation, holding their weapons tightly.
Bryce then arranged for two people and ordered: "Escort the Earl back to the castle."
This order made the stunned Paul wake up.
He refused loudly: "No, I'm staying here."
Bryce also ignored the persuasion, and focused all his attention on the suspected pirate boat on the lake.
The boat on the lake gradually slowed down, and finally stopped at a considerable distance from the shore. It is estimated that the other party saw that the island was prepared and knew that it would be difficult to start.
In this way, the two sides began to stalemate, and a sense of breathless tension slowly spread in the team.
As if a long time passed like a century, Bryce suddenly held up his shield to protect Paul, and then heard a "whoosh" sound. Looking through the moonlight, a spear stuck in the ground appeared in front of him not far away. arrow with a white cloth tied to it.
Then the small boats on the water slowly receded into the distance.
After all the suspicious ships were gone, Bryce ordered loudly, "Go and get that arrow."
…
"Too much deceit!" Everyone saw the earl slapping the rag with the tiny print on the table viciously.
Now it can be confirmed that the previous suspicious ship was indeed a pirate, probably thinking of raiding the town, and after seeing someone guarding the shore, they shot a letter with a bow and arrow.
The content of the letter: You'd better be more sensible, kid surnamed Graeman. The brothers are a little tight recently, and the poor ghosts by the sea don't have much money, so I come to you to ask for a little money for drinks. I think you just died. Dad, the territory under the rule is a place where birds don't shit, and we are embarrassed to ask for more, but silver coins and so on should be around 10,000, if you can't get it out, you can make do with a few thousand, pigs, cattle, sheep, etc. It's up to you, but if the brothers are not satisfied, then you don't want to live a peaceful life. I will give you a week, and we will come to pick it up after a week. The above asking price is already very conscientious, not long ago we tied the Jiaowan League's...
It should be because there is not enough space to finish the writing, and the inscription is "Quick I, the lord of the sea who is extremely great, extremely wise, extremely brave, extremely handsome, and all kinds of beautiful words are not enough to describe."
After everyone circulated the letter, they looked at each other for a while, and Bryce, the commander of the first battalion, stood up to challenge again: "Our army is almost trained, and it looks like a decent team. It is well-oiled and strong. , It is more than a little bit better than the last time the pirates were crusaded, it is time for them to see blood." The other officers present nodded in agreement.
Manager Ford retorted: "I think it's better to be a little more cautious. It's better to negotiate with them first. If the conditions can be lowered, it's okay to send them away temporarily."
Paul was not happy to hear that the boss, on the one hand, the negotiations were too aggrieved, and on the other hand, the recent military training made him run out of money.
"Have you responded to the request for help sent out some time ago?" He suddenly remembered this.
After hearing this, Manager Ford showed embarrassment on his face, and ordered his subordinates to fetch a large stack of thick parchment and put it in front of Paul, "You should read it yourself."
He picked up a letter, "Nephew Paul, long time greetings, I was surprised to learn that my father is dead. However, when the rebel party is in trouble, it is the responsibility of guarding the land. How dare you leave the fief without authorization. I wish I could come to condolences..." I can hear it To the sour smell of the last century, the whole article is full of old-fashioned aristocratic grammar and rhetorical formulas. After talking for a long time, he didn't respond directly to whether it was helpful or not. He glanced at it and threw it aside.
Pick up another letter, "To the young heir of the Greiman family, as long as you agree to become my vassal and swear allegiance to me, mere pirates are not a problem..." This is a looting, throw it away.
Pick up another letter, "Little Paul, aren't you just a pirate? Why should you care so much? They will leave after they have made enough money from the common people. He will be forced by him, and he will be forced by him. You stay in the castle." Huxin Town is fine,..." Damn, maybe this buddy also came from time travel, throw it away.
Pick up another letter, "Greyman, it is inappropriate for you to do this. As a non-violentist, I urge you to open the door and tell the pirates 'Come with your means of destruction, we will take half of the people I'll kill you, half of the people are left, we won't give in'..." There is no such thing as a messenger of nuclear peace in any world, throw it away. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Pick up another letter, "My good brother Paul, it's not my brother, I don't want to help you. Recently, a **** representative of the royal family came to my place and coaxed and threatened me. He recruited all the soldiers in the territory." Already..." He looked teasingly at Hansel who was listening, and threw it away.
…
"These **** are desperate to save each of them." After browsing through a pile of waste papers, he finally understood why Manager Ford advocated negotiating with the pirates.
After thinking about it, he finally agreed to the officer's request and went to war with the pirates.
…
"Lord Earl, gentlemen, we must first grasp the dynamics of the pirates, so we need to let the cavalry company spread out to investigate, focusing on the banks of the Weiss River..."
"The pirates have just arrived here, and they must not have traveled far in one night..."
"Bring back two companies from boot camp..."
"Huxin Town needs some people to stay behind..."
Everyone gathered around a medieval-style territorial map with extremely out-of-scale proportions, pointing and discussing the battle plan together.
The final decision is that the internal guards and an infantry company will stay in Huxin Town, and the remaining three companies will gather together and advance along the Weiss River all the way to the coast, looking for pirates to settle the score.
After discussing the plan, people were arranged to strengthen vigilance and patrol, and everyone went back to rest.
After tossing for a long time, the pirate's "God's Assist" was confirmed. It was indeed inconvenient for Arda to send troops. This blocked Hansel's mouth. After all, he was going to stay here for a long time, and he didn't solve these courageous problems. He can't live in peace even if the pirates are big enough to attack the lord's resident.
When I woke up, I got a report that I found traces of pirates. They did not go far, and they probably wanted to pick a nearby unsuspecting village to plunder.
