Section 125, two vassals

Bruce's reinforcements arrived at noon on the third day, and the sky was unexpectedly clear, and the soldiers of the Byron and Wallace families arrived in a long line at Greenton.

"The Lord God is above, I thought this place had been razed to the ground?" Sir Wallace was on his horse, and he looked at the situation before him, and said with some surprise.

After receiving Bruce's summoning order, he did not hesitate to gather the men of his family, took up arms and set off from his own estate, but when he passed by the other vassal territories, he found that no one answered Bruce's call.

"Sir Wallace, where have you gathered your army in a hurry?" A nobleman who was familiar with Wallace walked out of the manor and handed him a glass of wine and asked.

"Didn't you get a summons?" Wallace took the glass and asked the nobleman.

"Do you mean the order of the new baron?" The nobleman said nonchalantly.

"That's right, you should be ahead of me as ordered, but why hasn't there been any movement?" Sir Wallace asked, puzzled.

"No one cares about that stinky boy's summoning order, not to mention that Lord Duke has already said that he is a family lover, Lord Wallace, you didn't swear allegiance to him at all, why do you need to do such a senseless thing?" The nobleman said curiously to Wallace.

"What, you're going to break your oath?" Sir Wallace's eyes widened, and he said angrily.

"Breaking an oath? Come on, we don't want to be loyal to a kin-loving person. The nobleman saw that Wallace was angry, and he was not annoyed, but said with a sneer.

"Here you go, your wine, and drinking the wine of a man who has broken his oath will stain my tongue." Sir Wallace turned his horse's head toward Glinton and turned his horse's head away in Glinton's direction, while the nobleman, who had refused to swear his allegiance, looked at them coldly.

The soldiers, who had intended to rest in the manor, complained and got up and had to follow their lord on their way, and Sir Wallace's brows were not separated along the way, and the vassals refused to summon the order because of the duke's words, in which case perhaps when Sir Wallace led his army to Gründon, he would have seen nothing but ruins, and worse, he might have to face the enemy alone.

"Lord God, you have brought justice, mercy and justice to the world, and may you give me the strength to face suffering." Sir Wallace wiped the raindrops from his face, and he looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

"Sir Wallace, I didn't expect to see you?" At this time, Byron Jr., the patriarch of the Byron family and Anne's uncle, rode up to him on his horse and said to Sir Wallace.

"Hello Lord Byron, I really didn't expect it." Wallace looked at little Byron, it had long been rumored that the patriarch of the Byron family was completely opportunistic, but he didn't expect that he would be summoned this time, which was unexpected by Sir Wallace.

"Haha, that's unexpected, isn't it?" Little Byron looked at the scene in front of him and felt very funny, he didn't expect Greenton's territory to be intact, and he thought that when he arrived, he would only see a ruin.

"Let's join forces and go meet the baron!" Looking at Glynton intact in front of him, Sir Wallace felt a fear of Bruce rise in his heart, this young man was not at all as weak and deceitful as he appeared.

The Byron family had thirty soldiers, most of them spearmen, while Sir Wallace's soldiers numbered sixty-two, of whom twenty-two were archers, fifteen hammermen, and most of the rest were levies, who marched towards Gründon in one force.

"Whoosh~~." A bolt was stuck in front of Sir Wallace's horse, and Sir quickly stopped, and he looked up to see the towers in the middle of the village.

"Stop, what are you?" As the army reached the edge of the village of Glinton, the warning sound of crossbowmen came from the tower.

"We are vassals of Lord Baron, patriarch of Sir Wallace and Byron." Wallace said loudly to the crossbowmen.

When Wallace shouted, there was silence in the tower, but after a moment the sound of horses' hooves sounded in Greenton, and a one-eyed dragon and a woman with a bow appeared before them on horseback.

"Is it Lord Bruce's vassal? Oh, it's Lord Wallace and Lord Byron, please come in. When Stukov and Eve saw the army at the entrance of the village, as well as the nobles leading the army, they confirmed each other's identities and welcomed them in.

"Why, didn't the war start?" Byron looked around curiously, except for some clutter, there didn't seem to be any signs of a large-scale invasion.

"The battle took place on the other side, near the river, and Jeffrey thought he could wipe us out at once, but we drove us away." Stukov introduced the two vassals.

"Ran away? How many of them are there? Little Byron asked in surprise.

"Hundreds!" Eve said to them.

"Hundreds?" Little Byron and Jeffrey looked at each other in surprise, they knew that Glynton's strength was only more than forty at most, and with more than forty people, he was able to repel the invasion of a hundred people, and without the help of vassals, which was really terrifying.

When little Byron and Jeffrey walked under the walls of Glinton, they looked at the arrow towers around them, and the tall walls made of unknown stone, and they had a new understanding of Bruce's strength.

"I thought Bruce had beaten his brother by luck, but now it seems like that may not be the case." Sir Wallace looked at the wall in front of him with emotion, and said to little Byron.

Little Byron looked at the wall in front of him but said nothing, he seemed to be thinking about something, and when the two men entered the wall, they found that everything was in order, and a tall warrior with an axe and animal skin armor stared at them with a fierce gaze, and passed by them.

"Don't be afraid, this is the Baron's retainer, Split Shield Danny." Stukov comforted the two.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~." The sound of arrows being fired was heard, and the two vassals looked to the other side, only to see that in the remote training camp, several women were shooting crossbows at the scarecrow's target.

"What's going on?" Little Byron asked in surprise.

"Oh, these are some female crossbowmen, you know Glynton is understaffed, and women can go to war in a crisis situation." Stukov explained.

During the castle defense battle, all those who have the ability to move will join the battle, but it is a last resort, and as weak women, at most, moving stones cannot be counted as combat effectiveness, but now they are holding a strange bow and training on the target.

"The lord's house has arrived, two vassals, please come in!" Stukov invited Sir Wallace and Byron Jr.
