Master Overlord - Chapter 359
Two days later, after the peace talks, the news of the Palit family waging war again spread throughout the kingdom.
For a time, everyone was in an uproar. However, in the discussion of contempt, no one spoke for Arthur or milt. All the nobles of the kingdom were watching quietly, waiting for the direction of the situation in the north after the collapse of the tustra family.
No one cares about the life and death of Arthur or milt, and no one doubts whether Ted Barrett can win this time – if this cannot win the war, Ted Barrett and his vassals should remove their helmets and armor – the war is not for them.
Only the Duke of Cleveland.
As a witness of the peace talks, seeing that Arthur’s notices and complaints have spread all over the Kingdom, for his reputation, he finally sent an inquiry letter to Ted Barrett, saying to ask him to explain and reply immediately!
On the avenue north of Monge Town, the horses moved slowly. Ted Barrett sat on his horse and looked at the news from the castle with a disdainful smile.
The Duke still cherished honor and fame as always, and the hypocrisy made him sick.
“Sir, this should need a reply?” Carlos Menger, the vassal, said.
“Of course, the duke said, let’s explain and reply immediately!” rid of the torn letter, Ted Barrett said to the attendant, “Write back to the Duke and say that Arthur tustra robbed a village, killed five innocent civilians and raped four girls after the peace talks. The other party first destroyed the peace talks. As the Lord of andolia County, I can’t be indifferent to it!”
The valet knight took orders to drop the horse and ordered someone to write back.
Looting civilians and raping women are felonies. They are regarded as robbers who seriously violate the spirit of chivalry. They will not only face high compensation, but also be tried and even lose their lives. If looting occurs in other people’s territory, it is like a direct declaration of war.
However, all nobles know that such behavior is normal in war – fighting is not to rob property.
The Duke’s letter simply meant to ask him to find an excuse for reopening the war. Even if the excuse was as rotten as mud in the swamp, it didn’t matter, as long as it sounded legitimate.
When the order was given, no one objected. They didn’t care whether Arthur tustra had really done these things. This was an excuse they had already thought of.
Just as the crowd was ready to speed up and speed up their journey, the knight in charge of guarding the letter bird shouted and rode forward again.
“Your Excellency, a letter from the castle.”
“Another letter from the castle.” Ted Barrett was a little surprised. The difference between the two letters was less than half an hour.
He took the letter and when he saw the content on it, his face suddenly showed a surprised expression.
“What’s the matter, my lord?” asked the vassal mark, and the rest of the people looked at him.
“It’s Lingfeng castle’s new declaration of engagement, warning us that if we don’t stop the war immediately, we should quickly arrange the matters in the territory, otherwise we will have no chance and let them wait to die!”
With a cold hum, Ted Barrett stopped the team, looked at several people around him with a dignified face, and asked, “you said, how long does it take to make a statement from Lingfeng castle to the school city, and then the school city to inform all places?”
“Lingfeng castle… It will take about two or three days, and two days at the fastest!” answered a knight.
Carlos Menger, who had recovered his mind, immediately said, “Sir, if so, the actions of Cedric and others have been known by the other party!”
Mark anbit said, “if they were fast enough, they should have entered Xiangguo town by now. Even the serfs should have retreated to Bedouin town.”
“But this reputation was made at least two days ago!” Carlos Munger added.
“Don’t be nervous,” Ted Barrett interrupted them and said calmly, “The army has returned. Even if the fortress of Xiangguo town is closed, Cedric and others can’t successfully enter the fortress. Don’t forget, we have sent people to wait in the swamp in the East. As long as we don’t let the people of Lingfeng Castle enter our territory again and take the fortress, it’s only a matter of time. The initiative is in our hands this time. What we need to do now is to contact the grain fleet.”
Ted Barrett’s words did not bring any comfort and confidence to the people. On horseback, the vassal and knight looked at each other, and their eyes were full of anxiety. Somehow, a very bad premonition rose in their hearts.
“Sir,” said the vassal mark nervously, “what if Arthur tustra doesn’t lead the soldiers to leave… If they can’t enter the town, Cedric, they should at least report the situation on the front line. I’m worried…”
“What are you worried about?” Ted Barrett interrupted Mark’s uneasy voice, as if to stop the spread of this uneasy emotion.
“Cedric and others have nearly 700 knights. Even if they divide some of them to look at the serfs, at least 400 or 500 people will act together! The experience of hard berten and others is just because they underestimate the enemy’s carelessness, and the enemy will always consume. Are you worried about the recurrence of the tragedy? There is no such possibility! Ten times, unless the boy is a god!”
Reason gradually calmed the uneasy people. Yes, the enemy will also consume. Such a situation can never happen again.
“Look at you!” stern eyes swept the faces of the people. Ted Barrett taught, “there will be failure in war. Failure is not terrible, but don’t be frightened because of a temporary failure!”
He tried his best to calm the uneasiness of the people and stabilize the morale of the army, even though his heart was also full of a bad feeling – Cedric’s guys really should send a letter to report the situation. Did they successfully enter the fortress and are fighting?
“In that case, sir, send a message to the grain fleet to stop on the bank near the camp,” said the FengChen Ralph Roman.
“Cedric and others also sent letters to ask about their situation.” FengChen Mark said again, “and the serf army in the rear also sent letters to speed them up.”
Seeing that the crowd had regained their composure, Ted Barrett nodded calmly and asked the attendant to write a letter again.
Just then, a huge letter bird flew from the north, circled for a while and fell behind the team.
Seeing this scene, the dignified look on the faces of the people relaxed instantly. The tacit understanding even made the two nervous Knights smile.
Soon, the knight in charge of taking care of the letter bird immediately came forward, took the letter box and said, “Sir, it’s the letter bird of Sir Cedric and others.”
“Ha, look what I said, isn’t this coming!” heard the speech, and kept serious, Ted Barrett took the letter box happily, looked at the people and said easily, “they sent out 500 war horses. It’s estimated that many people ran wildly on mules and horses. It’s understandable that they were a little slow, which scared you to a bloody face!”
Now, the feudal ministers laughed one by one. Receiving a reply naturally proves that the other party is OK.
After admonishing and educating the people, Ted Barrett opened the letter plug and poured out the letter paper.
Everyone stared at the letterhead, hoping for good news. However, what poured out of the letterhead was not light yellow stationery, but dark red paper obviously infected by blood!
Everyone was so excited that they suddenly opened the honeypot, but suddenly found the horror of a poisonous snake in it.
