Chapter 558 Recapture the Lord's Mansion
There is no doubt that the words of Director Ford and Director Hayden plunged the police and militia into chaos.
Everyone looked at each other blankly, not knowing how to react, as if they were expecting their companions to give them an idea.
Bilaire McReynolds, who was controlled by Ruth Hayden, looked ashen. His intimidation just now was his last effort, hoping to survive, but Not only did he not frighten the people present, he actually heard even worse news for himself from Old Ford. Paul Graiman was actually still alive!
Now Bilaire McReynolds has completely collapsed! There was a question swirling in my head: how did the people in the Lord's Mansion get external information.
Old Ford and the officials from the Government Affairs Council looked at the police and militia nervously. Although the guards in the Lord's Mansion were elite, there were only thirty, and they were not fully prepared for the conflict. Facing the police and militiamen who had a numerical advantage, In the militia, no one dares to say what the outcome will be once action is taken.
Everyone just stood in fear.
At this moment, a decisive voice broke the deadlock.
“I believe what Director Ford said!”
Lucas in the police team spoke his judgment loudly.
"I have long felt that Captain McReynolds is abnormal! Brothers!"
He walked out of the team, stood in front of all the police, and said to them: "What are you still hesitating about, Butler Philip?" , and Mr. Ford. As residents of Lake Town, you must all know their character. They have served three generations of Earl Grayman. If their words cannot be trusted, who else can be trusted outside the city? There is definitely an army led by Lord Schroeder. Not to mention..."
He glanced at the police detachment leader who had fallen into despair.
“Bilaire McReynolds has just admitted personally that he and Burgan participated in the rebellion against Count Grayman. As police officers loyal to Count Grayman, how can we associate with traitors? ?”
“Yes!” someone responded immediately, “We must not stand with the traitors.”
Lucas was a little surprised. The person who responded to him was not his colleague, but the militia captain, who seemed to be named Zane.
I saw Zane also stood up and saluted Manager Ford, "Master Manager, please give us an order. Just ask if you need us to do anything."
But Before Controller Ford could speak, he raised his hands and turned to the militiamen in Tata Village and shouted: "Long live Graiman! Long live Alda!"
"Long live Graiman! Long live Alda!" "The militiamen in Tata Village responded to Zane one after another and made their own choices.
“Yes, Burgan is definitely unpopular!” Perhaps infected by the momentum of the militiamen, the police also made their own choice.
"I am loyal to Count Paul Greyman!"
"I have always been loyal to Count Paul Greyman, all because of McReynolds' deception..."
Now, the hall Everyone here has drawn a clear line with the traitors.
"Okay!" Old Ford and others saw that the situation was developing in the direction they expected, and finally let go of their worries.
The Chief Superintendent of the Government Affairs Council ordered: "Now you will be under the unified command of Director Hayden to defend this castle. And you must make a big statement to let the traitor Burgan know that something is going on in the castle and disrupt their military morale. . "According to the order of Director Ford, everyone took action immediately.
All combatants - guards, militiamen, policemen, more than 200 of them, were divided into several groups by General Hayden, and assigned areas responsible for defense one by one.
The castle gate, which had been closed, was piled with stuffing - boxes, furniture, sandbags, etc., including Hansel, Bernard, Cecil and others. portage.
Then, a cannon placed at the castle gate was fired.
The roaring sound of cannons conveyed some kind of message to the distance.
...
At the junction of Lakemore and Emden, two armies were confronting each other.
The party with the largest number of people, probably nearly a thousand people, except for a few knights riding tall horses and wearing neat armor, most of the rest - they should be soldiers - are wearing clothes of different colors and styles. , the clothes are mostly made of linen, and in addition to the knights, the soldiers also have a variety of weapons, including spears, swords, and even pitchforks. They line up in a loose formation, constantly waving their arms to the opposite side, making various gestures This is a provocative move, and his mouth is full of dirty words.
The side facing them was also a smaller one, probably less than 300 people, but they were lined up in neat lines, with soldiers standing closely side by side, and they were holding good guns and ammunition. With his bayonet and musket, he stared straight ahead without saying a word. In sharp contrast to the noise on the opposite side, these soldiers said nothing, did not whisper or whisper to each other. It was in sharp contrast to the noise of the troops on the opposite side.
In the open space between the two armies with different styles, two men on horseback were talking.
"This is simply unreasonable!"
Earl Barzel asked Lieutenant Colonel Walton angrily.
"I was obviously invited by Huxin Town to come in and kill the bandits, but you...you ignored your master's order and stopped me here!"
"Bazel Earl! Our own army can handle the things we have here, we don’t need outside troops to come in to help!”
Walton said without being humble.
"What's more!" There was a suspicious look in his eyes, "Are there really any bandits? They couldn't be...you made them up, right?"
"You...are bold!" Bazel The Earl screamed in a high voice, "You...this...how dare you doubt me!"
In the past, Bazel wouldn't even bother to talk to people like Walton, just a mere one. A guy with only the title of knight is not qualified to sit in the saddle and talk face to face with the noble earl. It is really shameful.
"I am Count Barzel, a nobleman of the kingdom. How dare you...how dare you? This is an insult to me!"
"Listen up, Walton! Just a week ago, a group of extremely vicious gangsters attacked my territory, killing people, setting fires, and looting property. It took a lot of effort to find clues... They were from Emden, and Lake Center Town promised to give me a Say, let me personally lead the troops to find these bastards, I think you should have received the order!”
Although he said this, Earl Bazel was still pounding in his heart. What's going on? Didn't you promise that you would let me in? Why is this Walton so arrogant?
No, what happened to that group of people?
