Chapter 537 Rebellion 5
In the dead of night, the knocking on the door seemed so out of place.
Lieutenant Colonel Carter Hawley, commander of the 8th Infantry Battalion, opened his door sleepily.
He complained with an unhappy look on his face: "Lord of Light, what happened?"
Standing at the door was his guard, who stood up straight and saluted. Military salute, and then handed over a note.
"Sir, the sentry on guard received a note, which seems to be a souvenir from Lord Grayman."
"Lord Grayman?"
I heard that the handwritten note was from the lord Yes, Carter Hawley stirred up a lot of sleepiness.
He accepted the note handed over by the guard and immediately opened it to read the information on it.
At first glance, the lieutenant colonel was shocked. He grabbed the guard's hand and asked impatiently:
"Who sent this note?"
"Uh..." the guard hesitated.
“Say it!” the lieutenant colonel urged his guards in a very stern tone.
"A... big parrot..."
An incredible expression appeared on the guard's face.
"Big parrot? What are you talking about? Now is not the time for joking." The lieutenant colonel seriously criticized the guard in front of him.
"Lieutenant Colonel, I'm not kidding, it was sent here by a parrot."
The guard replied seriously, "It's Sentinel Ochoa at Post No. 2. According to his recollection, he was there at that time. A parrot fell from the sky, landed on the guard tower fence, and then raised its right paw. Ochoa soon discovered that it had this note tied to its right paw. "
Okay, Holly. The lieutenant colonel decided to take the guard's words as truth.
“You immediately send someone to wake up all the officers and soldiers, but there is no need to assemble for the time being. Let them stay in the barracks and wait for the call.”
"Yes, sir!"
......
Twenty minutes later, in the battalion office of the 8th Infantry Battalion, the battalion commander Lieutenant Colonel Carter Hawley and the battalion instructor Pal Major Cobb looked at Paul's warrant together.
Lieutenant Colonel Holly held the note to the candlelight and observed it repeatedly, "It's unmistakable. This is indeed Master Graiman's handwriting. It's so ugly... such a unique handwriting, my impression. Very profound."
"I think so too." Instructor Pal Cobb agreed. Both of them knew the lord's handwriting.
"But..."
He glanced at the green parrot standing on the table in front of him.
“The identity and appearance of this [signal soldier] are too incredible.”
Lieutenant Colonel Holly said: “I don’t think it’s a big deal. Since pigeons can deliver letters, why are parrots No.”
“But that’s using pigeons’ ability to find nests. This parrot’s nest is obviously not in our camp. I’ve never even seen it. How did it find our place? What?”
Lieutenant Colonel Holly waved his hand and said: "In any case, since this warrant was written by Lord Graiman himself, then something must have happened in Barbor Village, yes!"
Lieutenant Colonel Holly Suddenly he hit his palm and said with enlightenment: "Isn't the nearest garrison to Babor Village our 8th Infantry Battalion? It is very logical for the lord to think of asking for help from the army in the nearest area in a critical situation."
"You're right." Major Cobb agreed with Lieutenant Colonel Holly's inference.
"In this case, no matter what happened, we should rush to Babol Village immediately to have a look."
"But..." Major Cobb said with some embarrassment: " Babol Village is nearly a day’s journey from here.”
Lieutenant Colonel Holly stood up and walked around for a few times. Suddenly he raised his head, looked at Major Cobb and said: "I will contact the mayor of this city and ask him to recruit a group of horses for us. The whole battalion rode to Babol Village."
"Okay, let's do it!"
Major Cobb nodded in agreement. "Right!" Major Cobb suddenly thought of something, "We must use the signal station to report this matter to Lake Center Town immediately."
...
In Lake Town, the militiamen who heard the news of the assassination of their lord were horrified.
Lord Paul Grayman was assassinated? That powerful lord, the lord who wiped out the pirates, the lord who defeated the Kent family, such a powerful figure was assassinated like this?
Burgan on the podium looked at the shocked militiamen and continued to shout: "Now, in order to stabilize the situation and prevent unrest, we need to immediately impose martial law on the town in the center of the lake. Unfortunately, , the original garrison in Huxin Town went out for field training, and now only your militia can be used. I announce-"
Burgan shouted: "The original training plan is cancelled, and the militia is currently at this stage. The mission was changed to martial law in Huxin Town. "
At this time, there were about two thousand militiamen gathered in front of him. They were a considerable military force, and they also mastered formation, marching, and sword operation. , firearms operation and other military skills.
"Now, follow your respective instructors and go to the armory to get weapons. Each of you has a musket."
...
The armory administrator looked at him with a troubled face and asked to go in and get the gun. officer, and behind the officer were the bewildered militiamen.
"But, we have not received any notification..."
"What time is it now, and you are still waiting for notification?" the officer shouted at him.
"But..."
"Come here, get this person who is obstructing military operations immediately!"
Two muscular guards flashed out from behind the officer, and they couldn't help but say Just push the armorer to the ground.
"You can't be like this! Wuwuwu——"
His mouth was blocked.
"Everyone! Follow me in to collect weapons!"
The officer waved his hand to the militiamen behind him.
......
When Schroeder, the chief of staff who stayed in Lake Town, learned of the unusual movements of the militiamen, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He was currently in his residence.
As the chief of staff—the number one military leader besides Paul—he did not participate in the field training and stayed in Huxin Town.
Logically speaking, no matter how big something happened, Burgan should come to ask for instructions first.
Why do night gatherings outside of the training plan occur? Why did you break into the armory to get weapons despite the regulations?
This is definitely a very problematic operation, maybe... it's a rebellion!
"I must go in front of the militiamen immediately and reveal to them that this is a conspiracy!"
Schroeder was very anxious, and he said this to his police officer.
"Master Schroeder, no! Now the entire military camp may have fallen under the control of the rebel organizers - if this is indeed a rebellion! If you go, you will be falling into a trap."
"You're right!" The guard's words made Schroeder calm down.
“We must first find a military force we can rely on—a force other than the Huxin Town militia.”
“If it is not a rebellion, that would be the best! But if unfortunately it is a rebellion, then we can use our military power to fight it."
Schroeder made a decision immediately.
"Hurry up and prepare my horse! I want to leave Huxin Town before they find out."
This is Chapter 533, I accidentally wrote it wrong.
