Chapter 243 The Battle of Biduo Fort 2
Everyone got over the novelty of having a musket, and then they remembered that there was still business. He wanted to discuss, so he returned to the conference room.
“What else is there to discuss? Our people are all here, let’s fight!”
“That’s right! Send someone to give them a gauntlet now! Take a look! Does that boy from the Kent family have any seeds? ”
"The fight has been finished and we should go home and farm early!"
"But judging from today's situation, I'm afraid reinforcements are coming from the opposite side!"
Many people advocate starting a war immediately, while others advocate caution. act.
Just when everyone was noisy and uncertain, a guard walked into the conference room.
"My lords, the Kent family has sent an envoy."
Earl Parker ordered: "Let him come in and listen to what he has to say."
The guard went out after the order, and after a while he brought in a person. Judging from his appearance, he should be a low-ranking noble.
The visitor first reported his name, and then started talking about business:
"On the order of Viscount Jais Kent, I am here to advise you to surrender as soon as possible..."
< br>Before the messenger finished speaking, a tall and thick knight suddenly cursed:
"Jais, that eggless boy, did he ask you to come here just to fart?"
The knight's words made everyone laugh, and the whole room burst into laughter. Although his words were rude, no one came out to criticize him.
Only the envoy's expression did not change at all. He seemed to have expected this result.
The messenger put on a look of regret, shook his head and said:
"That's such a pity! How many innocent lives will be lost..."
The knight just now said impatiently: "Forget it, mother-in-law. If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, hurry up!"
"Humph... What a rude person!"
Tell it quietly. After complaining, the messenger cleared his throat and said, "My other mission here is to convey Lord Kent's proposal to you - both sides should not use tricks or plots, and find time to set up formations in the middle of our confrontation, and act openly and honestly. I wonder if you would dare to fight?”
“What are you afraid of?”
“You’re looking down on me!”
"It should be us who say this to you!"
The coalition generals were filled with indignation, slapping the table and shouting.
The corner of the envoy's mouth curled up slightly, and he continued: "In this case, we propose to start the war in two days. After all, there was a melee today, and both sides need to repair. After two days, each side will come up with their best A duel in good condition..."
He changed the subject: "This is just our proposal. If you want to choose another date, we will agree, three days later, four days later, or even tomorrow. , the day after tomorrow, we will be with you at any time!"
There was a discussion in the room, and finally Earl Parker summarized everyone's opinions and said to the envoy: "Okay, then we will fight in two days. This is for you. It’s time to write a suicide note. If you want to die in advance, we will agree!”
The envoy saluted him and said: "Since you agree, I will take my leave first! Oh, by the way, I wonder if we can exchange the previous prisoners now?"
Earl Parker poses Waving his hands: "Let's talk about it after we decide the winner!"
"Everyone, I'll see you in two days. At that time, one of us will become the prisoner of the other."
The messenger bowed and walked out of the room.
Derrick said thoughtfully to everyone:
"I always feel that this is Jiaaisi delaying time. If we lead the army to kill now, with the help of fire crossbows...oh, muskets, and artillery, we will definitely achieve great results."
" Shut up, Derrick, think about the stupid thing you did today. Did you forget the pain before the scar healed?"
"You..."
That's what Earl Malken said. , Derrick blushed, but what happened today left him with no confidence to respond in kind.
"The envoy just now said that if we choose to start the war tomorrow, they will accompany us at any time. Is this delaying time?" "And since the time for the battle has been agreed upon, an early attack will damage our reputation! ”
Others also disagreed with Derrick’s suggestion.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the meeting was a bit stiff, Earl Parker said: "Okay, it's almost dark now, and it's obviously no longer possible to fight. And the troops we each brought need time to get used to each other. Let’s face off against the Kent family in two days.”
As the founder of the alliance, Earl Parker made a decision, and Derrick had nothing to say.
The serious discussion ended here. The servants brought plates of dishes and barrels of wine, and the coalition generals began to enjoy dinner together.
"Ah, by the way! Lieutenant Colonel Alder, am I right to call you this?"
Earl Parker greeted Bryce while cutting the steak on the plate.
"Yes, Lord Parker."
Bryce responded quickly, reluctantly putting down the knife and fork he just picked up.
"I need to arrange something with you. Bring me the map."
A servant trotted over and spread a map on the table.
"Come and take a look, Lieutenant Colonel Alder."
Bryce stood up and came to the count's side, looking at the map on the table.
The Earl pointed to a certain area on the map and said: "If your men and horses lack something, go to these three adjacent villages to get supplies."
Bryce Come to understand, "Thank you for taking this into consideration for us, my lord."
The Earl laughed loudly: "You're welcome."
Viscount Johnston, who was sitting not far away, raised his glass of wine towards Bryce.
"Hey, the Graiman family, don't be polite to the people and villagers here, they are all very 'hospitable'!"
Bryce smiled back at him, he knew What is the so-called "supply"?
According to the instructions of their lord, the Arda army should try to establish a good relationship with the local residents, and the necessary materials should be transported from the territory by the transportation company as much as possible.
However, Bryce doesn't mind taking some measures if he encounters extreme situations.
Viscount Johnston refilled the glass and raised it high.
“Cheers to the hospitable people of Bidoburg!”
“Cheers!”
Everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison.
Since we were in a war zone and were on high alert, everyone did not drink much and dispersed after eating.
"I want to remind you to take care of your soldiers and prepare for war in the past two days. Don't spend the whole day fighting with wine and prostitutes. Also, beware of spies."
Before leaving At this time, Earl Parker reminded us.
There are not only generals and soldiers in military camps in this era.
There are all kinds of people here, including merchants selling supplies, prostitutes doing the flesh business, and even family members of officers and soldiers.
Therefore, in their spare time during training, the officers and soldiers can easily find fun. They go to the tented tavern to have a drink, or go to the caravan brothel to chat about life with the lady. These are all things they like to do on weekdays.
Naturally, in this mixed environment, military intelligence can easily be leaked. Although everyone is desperately wary of spies, they have never thought of changing this environment. Probably because in the eyes of the world, the military camp has always been It should be like this.
