Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Carr City Incident
"Sarina? Sarina? ”
Locke softly came to Sarina's room, pushed open the door and called softly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Locke, is that you?"
Sarina opened a gap in the quilt, and then looked nervously at the door, until she confirmed that it was Locke.
Now the only person she can trust and trust in is Locke, without Locke, she would no longer exist in this world.
"I'm fine!"
Sarina got out of the quilt and saw Locke, and she inexplicably felt safe, which may have something to do with Locke buying her from the auction.
The man who made her bite her hand without squeaking made her feel both grateful and more inexplicably relieved.
Locke breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that Salina was well, and he had previously worried that Sarina would be nervous because of the war outside and the war in his own tribe, but now it seemed that this worry was a little unnecessary.
"Is the battle outside, is it over?" Sarina asked cautiously.
She didn't know what was going on outside, but the barracks were behind the tower, and she could tell from the sound outside that the battle must be fierce.
"Of course, we won, defeated the invading army, and captured them all. Tell you, they were defeated by me! ”
Locke gave Sarina a big smile, and he promised her that he would help her go back to get revenge!
……
In the City Lord's Mansion of Xitu City, Spo looked at the battle report from the front line with a dark face, the army he sent out had been completely wiped out, and even Sloan, his cousin, was killed in this battle!
Taking a deep breath, Spoo pondered what had happened to allow Jose to wipe out a thousand Situ troops, and don't forget, there was still a Kleiman in Karl City who was in line with Sloanry.
If they had gone according to their original plan, José would not have had any chance of winning the battle.
"What the hell happened!"
However, no matter what is wrong with Karl City, Spo will not let this matter go, and now there are about 500 or so Situ troops still being held as prisoners in Karl City, and he will give those prisoners back no matter what.
Situ City is about the same size as Karl City, both are medium-sized cities, and even the defense force is the same as Karl City, which is the standard configuration of medium-sized cities in the Holman Kingdom, a brigade of 1,500 people!
If there is no way to get those Xitu soldiers back, then Xitu City will become an empty city, with only 500 city guards left, who can only barely maintain law and order in the city, and if the bandits outside the city are in rebellion, he will not be able to suppress them at all.
Spo would never allow such a thing to happen!
And Locke wrote clearly in the letter sent by the people, he wanted to let the people from Karl City go, yes, but each person needed a ransom of five gold coins.
Five gold coins per person, more than 500 people is close to 3,000 gold coins, which makes Spo a little painful, not that he can't afford it, but 3,000 gold coins is indeed a big expense, and it can even allow him to recruit 500 recruits again for training and equipment!
But recruits are not as useful as veterans after all!
"What about Commander Kleiman? Any news of him? ”
Spoo asked one of the soldiers with a dark face who had come up with the battle report, Kleiman had disappeared since the battle was over.
But Spo knew he wasn't dead, because he had disappeared with a group of his men.
"Back to the city lord, Commander Kleiman... Missing, even when our spies went to follow their tracks, they disappeared inexplicably. ”
The soldier honestly told Spoo everything he knew, although some people had told him that if he concealed some military information, there would be unexpected benefits, but he still didn't dare to hide it, after all, it was his head!
"Missing! Hum! ”
Spo snorted fiercely, Kleiman was definitely afraid of taking responsibility and deliberately hiding.
After all, they have been planning this plan for a long time, and now that it has failed, someone has to take the blame, Sloan is dead, and the best person to take the blame is Kleiman, but if he goes missing, I'm afraid the ministers above will be angry with themselves!
All the rest of the mess had to be left to Spoo to clean up by himself, and now he was also the first two big.
The most important thing is that Carl City's side has not been beaten, and I don't know what means Jose will have to counter him, although now they have the strongest strength of the Holder family, but the gas of the royal family has not completely dissipated, and they still have some hole cards.
And those hole cards, they need to be hard to eat little by little, if he is not lucky, he will become cannon fodder, and the people above will be used to fight the royal family to redeem it.
However, Spo was able to become the lord of Xitu City, and he also gave his cousin Sloan the position of the leader of Xitu City, he still has some connections and abilities, and I hope that this time he can win back a city above the court.
After sorting out his thoughts, Spo began to pick up a pen and write letters to his superiors, since this was the case, he could only pay for the redemption of the soldiers, and at the same time hoped to rebel against Jose's army through his performance in the court.
In short, he must bring down Jose, otherwise, he, the lord of Situ City, will also be at the end, and even his family will become a decline from now on!
With the occurrence of the Karl City incident, Antok County, where Carl City and Situ City are located, were shaken, and the Marquis of Snooker sent people directly to Situ City and Carl City to investigate.
But unfortunately, snooker is also a member of Holder's family, so when the snooker messenger led nearly a thousand people to appear outside Carl City and asked to enter the city to investigate, the defenders of Carl City directly refused.
It's all too obvious to bring so many people over to 'investigate', and José is not a fool.
Thankfully, Locke was so strong in the battle that day that he turned what was supposed to be a fierce battle into his personal show, so the main force of the city guard in Karl City was preserved.
In the face of Jose, who still has a thousand regular troops, the snooker messenger has no choice but to go back in disgrace, but it is certain that the results of this investigation must be unfavorable for Jose!
But none of this is Locke's business, the biggest enemy for him is one word, poor!
As long as there is enough money, he will dare to do it if he wants to rebel immediately!
Drifting by silently, begging for a recommendation ticket!!
