Section 133 Reasons for Sending Troops
Duke Mason desperately walked his steps, but in the unfamiliar woods he tripped over the root stones from time to time and fell to the ground, but the ** of survival forced him to get up and continue to run, and finally he couldn't run anymore, from time to time because of his body, but a sense of loneliness and despair made Duke Mason stop.
"Duke of Bavaria, you hateful old thief, ah~~~." Immediately after that, anger welled up in his heart, and Duke Mason fell to his knees crying and cursing, he knew that he could take action against himself with a team to protect him, and the Duke of Bavaria must have Zhou Xiang's arrangement, and it was impossible for him to escape from the Duchy of Bavaria alone.
"Rustle~~." At this moment, the bushes behind Duke Mason made a sound of parting, and several Bavarian soldiers appeared behind him.
A few days later, a rickety caravan walked down the path, not alone, but followed by a group of itinerant entertainers, who in this day and age usually traveled in groups to avoid encountering robbers and robbers.
"We've made a lot of money in Bavaria, and we'd better go to Italy, where the city-states are most fond of art and juggling." The old man who was driving the carriage excitedly said to his wife sitting next to him, on the carriage.
"That's right, we can make a lot of money there." His wife also said happily.
"My daughter looks much better in the past two days and can train her to work." The man glanced behind the carriage and said to his wife.
"But we can't talk about the past in front of her, and she asked me some strange things yesterday."
"What's weird?"
"It was when I was passing by a castle that she told me that I had dreamed that I lived in it, the Virgin Mary, and I didn't even know what to say!"
"And how did you explain it to her in the end?"
"I gave her a slap in the face and told her to go to work."
"Well done wife. Ha ha. The man who was driving the car said with a laugh.
"However, you should sell the clothes and the embroidery as much as you can." The man's wife said a little nervously.
"You can't be in a hurry, these things are not something that ordinary people can have, you have to find a suitable and safe way." The bald old man looked left and right, and then whispered.
"Old Cole, let's take a break here." At this time, the other wandering artists greeted the couple. They hurriedly stopped the caravan, and the big guys quickly set up makeshift tents next to the woods near the roadside, these wandering artists were very adapted to life in the wilderness, unlike the peasants who were firmly fixed to the land, and different from the merchants who were bound by money, they were a group of people who really enjoyed a free life.
"Hahaha." A group of mischievous children pass through the middle of the camp, the children of itinerant artists, while their parents take the time to start training their skills in the camp. Then you will inevitably go hungry.
"Little sister, why don't you play with us?" A dirty, but wide-eyed little girl stood in front of the caravan, curiously eating her fingers and tilting her head to look at the girl in the caravan.
"Huh?" Sitting in the caravan and looking directly at the girl outside, looking at the little girl in front of her in confusion, the qiē in front of her was really strange to her, the couple told her that she was their daughter. But the girl couldn't think of anything, and her mind went blank.
"Jenny, what are you still doing in there, hurry up and get some water from the river. There's no time for you to be in a daze. Old Cole yelled loudly, urging the girl to get out of the caravan and go to work, and to work in the camp as long as she could carry a bucket of water, and there was no one to eat here.
"Oh yes." The girl named Jenny jumped out of the caravan, dressed in the same shabby thick linen dress as everyone else, but even that could not hide her beautiful face and blonde hair. It is the instinct of the little ones to love beautiful things, so by Jenny's side, the wanderer children are always around her.
"She should be smeared with a little mud on her face." Cole Sr.'s wife looked at Jenny's back worriedly and said to her old man.
"yes." Old Cole nodded in agreement, in this unstable world, it is not a good thing for people like them to have a beautiful daughter.
"No matter what. Now that she is our child, we must protect her from harm. "Old Cole's wife wiped her hand on her apron, she had just put some pig fat in the pan of iron tongs, they had a child, but the cursed smallpox took the child's life, and Cole Sr.'s wife never conceived a child again, so the girl they had picked up in the woods was raised as her own.
"Ahhh~~~~." Suddenly, the screams of children came from the forest, and they ran out of the woods, and the adults in the camp immediately grabbed the weapons they could use.
"What's wrong? Could it be that there are wolves in the woods? Old Cole reached out and pressed the leather long-eared hat he wore on his head, he picked up a stick and walked with the others, often encountering some dangerous beasts at night, and there was nothing more dangerous on the continent of Europa than the wolves.
"Old Cole, come here, I've never seen anything so terrible." The clown, wearing two horns with bells hanging from them, and a clown dressed in yellow, said to old Cole out of breath.
"Oh, this is ~~." When Old Cole came into the woods like the others, they were stunned by what they saw, as if they had been baptized by war, with the corpses of stripped soldiers piled in a heap, flies buzzing over the feast, and the smell of blood and corpses permeating the woods. Even more terrifying was the fact that the bodies of several strange knights were tied back to back, and the stake was located in the middle of the woodland, and they were called strange because the heads of these knights were missing, and the heads of horses and donkeys were sewn in the place where they were originally heads, and they were frozen here like strange and terrible sculptures.
"Jenny, Jenny, come here." When Cole's wife ran over, she saw her daughter Jenny standing on the slaughterhouse-like battlefield, and hurriedly called softly.
"Ah~~~." Jenny only felt that the images kept coming to her mind, the collision of swords and swords, the blood splashing everywhere, the knight who was cut in the head by the halberd fell, the breached castle burning, and the woods constantly moving back quickly beside her in the dark night, these images were mixed together and almost suffocated Jenny, and finally she covered her head and let out a scream before fainting to the ground.
News of the attack on the borders of the Duchy of Bavaria spread, some saying that he was attacked by Slavic tribes, others by pagan groups, because it was said that pagan ritualistic events were found at the scene, but in the darkest corners the rumors pointed directly at the Duke of Bavaria.
"What do you say? Duke Mason disappeared in the Duchy of Bavaria? When Arold learned the news, it was already a month later, and after the Blood Drops got the news and confirmed the information, they sent it to Arold through the Mecklenburg Blood Drops Brotherhood's own channels.
"Yes." Harvey nodded, and replied in confirmation to Arryd.
"But why?" Arold stared at Harvey and said, he had thought that maybe the Duke of Bavaria would be unfavorable to the Duke of Mason, but he expected that it would definitely be in other territories, so that the armed forces of the Duke of Mason would be enough to protect it, after all, it was impossible for the Duke of Bavaria to transfer the army to someone else's territory, and he would not know it.
"I didn't expect the Duke of Bavaria to be so bold that he actually started it directly in his own territory, isn't he afraid of the world's leisurely mouth?" Dylan. Matt said, standing aside and rubbing his hands.
"Tsk, but you didn't find Duke Mason's body, did you?" Arold paced through the chamber, and although Able had been unable to save his father, he was his wife's brother and he tried his best to save Duke Mason.
"Yes, Duke Mason's body has not been found, so it can be said that life and death are unknown." Harvey said to Arold.
"The Blooddrops must find the Duke." Arjod ordered Harvey, and at this time Dylan. Matt looked up and spoke to Arrod.
"My lordship, now may be the best time to deal with the Duke of Bavaria."
"What do you mean by that?" Arold looked at his hunchbacked think tank and asked curiously.
"Duke Mason has an accident in the Duchy of Bavaria, and the Duke of Bavaria is absolutely to blame for this matter, and you should immediately ask the royal family for instructions to investigate this matter."
"It's not hard to ask the royal family to investigate the Duke of Bavaria, but will that old fellow let us investigate? I'm afraid that the people sent to investigate will definitely be killed by them. Arold said with a frown.
"No, of course we can't take a few people to investigate, I mean take the opportunity to unite the royal family and the vassals of the Duchy of Mason to ask for the guilt." Dylan. Matt explained to Arold.
"Oh?" Arold gradually came to his senses, the Duke of Bavaria's appearance was too ugly, this matter would definitely cause dissatisfaction among other big nobles and middle-class nobles, and the royal family must be twelve points in favor of weakening the unruly Duke of Bavaria.
"Lord Duke, we must do our best, once others react and take the lead, it will be a heavy loss for us." Dylan. Matt urged Arrod to say.
"Well, prepare the carriage and retinue for me at once, and I will make a trip to the palace of the king of Arma." Arold slapped the table in front of him and commanded loudly. (To be continued......)
