When Alben returned to the walls, his face pale as paper, and Mallory whispered, "You are doing well, Lord Earl Heda—do you need a break?" ”

Alben shook his head, turned to look at his sister-in-law and niece who came down from the city wall, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, no, I will take care of you and Little Fanny"

Esparo's wife wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, answered in a trembling voice, and pulled her daughter back, who asked in confusion, "Mom, aren't we going to Daddy?" When she heard this, she cried again, shook her head desperately, dragged her daughter and stumbled away quickly, and wanted to step forward to help her, but stopped, gritted her teeth, and ignored them

Alben closed his eyes, and Melori saw him, and sighed softly, he knew that he was forcing them to make a choice, but now was not the time to have mercy, and no way could be spared, so he asked in a low voice: "Your Excellency, next... How are you going to do it? ”

Alben raised his right hand expressionlessly, showed the shiny black ring on his middle finger, and said, "You know what? This is the proof of the head of the Hedda family, with it, he is the real master of the Hedda family, and he can command any property under the name of the family, as well as his subordinates."

Minna couldn't understand a little, the Hedda family's property had already been assigned to the other four families for custody, even if it was the head of the family, he could only control a part of it at most, did it make any sense for Alben to say such a thing now?

Melori's eyes lit up: "You mean..."

Alben tugged at the corners of his mouth: "That's what you think of, although our family has fallen and lost its power, but in fact, there are still many industries and people who are not known, and these things are all over the continent, even Nuojia is no exception!" Why do you think my brother was able to escape and live so well in Noga? Also, you probably don't know what it means that my brother can get such a high status in the Noga army, right? Hum food and forage, at least half of these things were provided by the Hedda family, but—" He suddenly stopped, and his expression ached

Melori stepped forward: "But what? Can you change that? ”

Alben glanced at him lightly: "My brother is in charge of these as the heir, but as long as I order them to stop all actions and leave Noga in the name of the head of the family, even my brother can't stop it."

Mallory took a deep breath and took another step forward: "Are you sure, will you succeed?" Who will obey your commands? ”

Alben glanced at him quickly and slowly raised his head: "Of course! Now the landlord is me! I'll bring the name of Hedda back to its former glory! ”

Minna looked at the confident light in his eyes, and couldn't help but think back to the carefree teenager he saw from afar when he pretended to be a little maid and sneaked into Heda's house, and he loved to play the piano. Hedda seems to have matured rapidly compared to the past, and the people who forced this teenager to grow up include her?

Another young man's voice came from the front: "Brother, where are you?" Minna looked up and saw that it was another little Heda, Aloy, who was a year younger than Alben, and now he was the same as the mischievous naughty boy back then, but strangely enough, he was with his eyes closed, and Minna looked at him a few more times, thinking that he was obviously very strong, why should he be helped?

As soon as Alben saw his younger brother coming, he hurriedly greeted him, staring at the butler reproachfully, the latter immediately lowered his head, and Alben frowned: "Why did you come out?" Doesn't it make you stay in the room? There's going to be a fight outside at any time, it's too dangerous for you to come out."

"I'm as manly as my brother, and my brother dares to go out, why should I be afraid?!" Aloy straightened his neck and said unconvinced, paused, and he approached his brother: "What did the eldest brother say?" I've heard people say... He won't come back? His eyes were looking in Will's direction, but there was no focus in his eyes

Alben was silent for a moment before he said, "In the future... We're the only ones left with Brother Eta."

Although he said this vaguely, Aloy had already understood and suddenly blushed: "He ran away alone, leaving us alone in the country, and my father and brother Ackus are still ... How could he do that? Alben hurriedly hugged him comfortingly and said, "Aloy, don't worry about him anymore, he is no longer our family in the future... I will do my best to be the head of the house, and you must work hard."

Aloy's eyes were red and she nodded vigorously, and the brothers helped each other to walk back, and Minna heard Alben whisper to her brother in the back where there were steps and stones, and suddenly realized: it turned out that Aloy's eyes could not see Ao

But... More than three years ago, he could see...

She suddenly remembered that she made her own herb tea back then, was it because of the poison in that tea? But she had already sent the antidote, and she wanted to ask Melori, but the latter was observing the situation of the enemy army, and it was inconvenient to disturb, so she pulled Will over and asked in a low voice: "Do you know why the youngest son of the Hedda family just now can't see Ao?"

Will said with some displeasure: "You don't care how blind he is!" Minna remembered that his father died at Heda's house, so she smiled and coaxed him a few words, and said: "I'm just curious, I saw him a few years ago, and I can still see it" Will softened a little: "Actually, I don't know very well, it seems that after their family moved to Meiat, the youngest son couldn't see it after he recovered from a serious illness."

So, it's likely to be a side effect of those poisons back then?

Minna's guilt kept coming up, although they were from the Hedda family, and their father and brother had done a lot of bad things, but they were just children at the time, and they were really innocent, and now they drew a line with their rebellious brother...

Minna hesitated for a moment, and when she saw Mallory coming down, she ran to him and muttered to him for a long time, and after listening with a frown, Minna said, "Yes, but your teacher's side, I want you to convince" Minna was overjoyed and hurriedly went to find Soren

After agreeing to several harsh conditions, Minna dragged a somewhat reluctant Sauron to the house where Heda's family was temporarily staying, where Melonory was already waiting, and he led Sauron into the door and persuaded the young brothers to try the treatment of the "Chief Demon Master of Shaonan", Alben was not sure what he wanted, but thinking that his brother had a chance to regain his sight, he agreed to let Sauron try

Minna stood outside the door, anxiously awaiting the result, and when she saw the servant of the Heddah family looking at her with strange eyes, she hurriedly shrank aside, and then heard an exclamation from the house: "I see it!" "I was busy with the probe and went in to look, and I didn't even care about the side glances of others

Aloy happily took her brother's hand and shouted, "I can see the light!" My brother is right in front of me, isn't he? This way... It's little Fanny! He groped his hands to his right, and sure enough, he touched the little niece's head, knowing that the vague shadow in his vision was not an illusion

Alben looked at Sauron excitedly, but the latter only lightly withdrew the bottle in his hand, and said: "Your brother's eyes have been greatly damaged, so my brother can only restore a little eyesight at most, if he continues to drink the ground, he will have a chance to see things ten meters away in two years, but it is impossible to recover to the previous level."

Even so, the Hedda brothers were overjoyed and thanked him again and again, and Alben leaned over to Melonory and whispered a few words, and the latter's face flashed with joy, but quickly calmed down and thanked him politely

Minna breathed a sigh of relief outside the door, and although the result was not perfect, it somewhat made up for the mistakes she had made as a child

The butler rushed through the door and said loudly, "Master! Master Etta has arrived! In a blink of an eye, I saw Aloy look at him with wide eyes, and called his name, and said hesitantly: "Little master, your eyes..."

Alben didn't care about answering, so he pulled his brother up and rushed out the door, Esparo's wife and daughter hurriedly followed Minna and hurriedly avoided it, and when they passed, they looked back at the teacher and them, only to see Melori smiling and thanking Sauron, who waved his hand casually: "If you have time to call your someone, help me collect more precious materials" Melori's face stiffened, and she reluctantly smiled in response

When the matter was over, Sauron strode back to his temporary inn and glared at the student when he went out, "Don't forget what you promised me!" Only then did she leave Minna crying and mourning, touching the two-foot-long list of materials on her body, a little crying without tears

Etta was very excited to meet his family, he lost a lot of weight, his face was full of scum, but there was no gloom in his eyes, only calm, he came with the army sent by the Northern Fortress, but the person who led this army was not what he originally expected, An Longmina looked at Yilu who was standing proudly in front of the army in full suit of light armor from afar, and she was depressed in her heart, she turned around and left, not wanting to meet this uncle as a member of the Security Service

Mallory went to receive the visitors, and after a long time, he came back with a straight face, and said to the leader of the southern district who came to wait for the news: "The plain outside the town is not big, and we originally had an army to defend it, so the reinforcements will be stationed thirty kilometers away from the town, and the daily supply will be taken care of by Siko, and I will let people send you the money that needs to be spent."

The chief said no, and said a lot of flattering words, and when he saw that Mallory would not let go, he took back his words in a curtled manner, and took them away

Minna hurriedly rushed to Melonory and asked, "Why is it the eldest uncle here?!" Isn't it Daddy?! ”

Mallory said dryly: "Count Cardo thinks that his younger brother has no combat experience and cannot serve the public, so he intends to play in person"

No experience? Qualifications can't convince the public? Could he have it?!

Minna was indignant, but Melonory smiled bitterly, "Your grandfather is a genius... Count Cado thinks that he is your grandfather's son, and he should go to the battlefield to prove his ability, right? ”

Minna pouted: "He's far from grandpa!" My dad is also my grandfather's son! Just after reading the brotherhood of Heda's family, she encountered such an incident in her own family, which really made her feel uncomfortable and paused, and she suddenly remembered something: "Could it be that the eldest uncle will be our supreme commander in this war?" No way?! "That's going to be a terrible death!

Melori smiled and said, "Don't worry, His Majesty has enough wisdom and judgment, your uncle is only leading the army, and he has no command of the battle."

The commander of the battle was a veteran general in his sixties, General Loward, who hurried from the Western Army with several subordinates, and immediately took over the command of all the armies from Mallory and Elon

He had led the troops against Noga's petty tactics many times, and had held important positions in the northern fortress and the western legion garrison only a hundred kilometers away from Siko for more than ten years

As soon as he arrived, he asked all the known information and decided that he would take the initiative and not wait for the other side to attack before resisting, he sent his army to the plain area outside the town that originally belonged to Fan'a, and took all the people who were not from Noga, and then built an earthen wall less than eighty meters in front of Noga's army, greatly reducing the territory that the other side originally occupied

The earthen wall was built in an instant by the great magician who was temporarily stranded in Siko, and the thick and hard Nogar army could not break through it, so they shouted that they were encroaching on their own territory

Novard sneered when he heard this, even if the Esther army really invaded the territory of another country, it had nothing to do with Noga - that land belonged to Van A!

In addition, he also sent people to guard the Toure Pass, so as not to sneak in from the Nogar people, and he also forcibly intercepted the food and other materials that were originally supplied to the northern district, and even forbade the residents of the northern district to go to other residential areas to get water, and even the water sources in the mountains on both sides, he sent people to guard them

As soon as these measures came out, the North District first made a move, and more people went to the barracks to persuade Jada, and the military rations that were supposed to be delivered were suddenly gone, and the Noga side began to feel anxious

On the Easter side, almost everyone was happy, but the people in the Security Department were a little distressed

Because this veteran general of Novart is indeed a very suitable leader, but he himself has some rejection and prejudice against the Security Agency, and is even more reluctant to cooperate with them, even to inquire about the enemy, he only sends scouts that he is familiar with

Mallory didn't pay too much attention to this, and when Minnaville and the other security agency personnel felt uncomfortable, he also said: "I'm not good at war planning, and having experienced generals in charge is the best choice, but we can't do nothing, from now on, all the members of our security agency stationed in Xiko must cooperate with the needs of the army, investigate the enemy's situation, and at the same time pay attention to the situation of the people in the town, and report the problem in time, understand?!" ”

Minna and the others looked at each other, and they all responded in unison, and then they began to cooperate with the scouts of the army, reporting the enemy's movements upwards, and it was soon found that at the rear of the Noga barracks, at some point, more than 20 carts appeared, covered tightly with thick tarpaulin, and they couldn't see what was inside, but they knew that it must be very heavy by looking at the deep flies left on the ground where the cart passed

General Novold sent several groups of people to investigate, but all failed, and several of them were excellent scouts, and they also sacrificed their lives, he looked at the thick stack of reconnaissance reports sent by Mallory on the table, there were many enemy movements on which his subordinates could not find out, and he began to think in his heart, maybe the security department was not completely useless

He called for someone to invite Mallory over, and said with some hesitation, "Maybe... You've heard... The thing about those carts in the Noga barracks..."

"Yes," Melori said very politely, "I have told my subordinates to pay attention, and tonight, our colleagues will go to investigate"

Novard raised his eyebrows and said a little sternly, "There have been six first-class scouts who haven't been able to come back, you know?!" ”

Melori bent slightly: "I trust my subordinates to fully task His Excellency General, your scouts are heroes, but, this kind of infiltration and inquiry... We're better at it."

(Tomorrow!) Minna and Jada will see each other again! Stay tuned! Tickets
