Chapter 54: Blow
Early the next morning, Dani led a servant and hurriedly knocked on Lynn's bedroom door.
Lynn opened the door sleepily.
"Miss Dani, what's the matter so early?"
Dany and the servant bowed respectfully.
"Your Excellency, the ship returning from the widow's hope has docked in the harbor, and Lord Hood has asked you if you would like to go to the harbor and see it yourself. Dani cautiously looked up at Lynn.
Lynn looked up at the sky, which was still shrouded in a thin layer of sea fog.
Looking at Dani's dress, or yesterday's pastel-colored sleeved jacket, Lynn said strangely, "You stayed in the mansion last night?"
Dani nodded, lowered her head and said, "My lord, you brought back too many goods, and after urging the workers to carry and count, it was already the second half of the night." ”
Lynn looked at this little girl with approval, what a good assistant who was dutiful, not bad.
However, thinking of what Dani had reported, Lynn couldn't help frowning.
Harry Kane was ordered by himself to bring 100 cavalry infantry to escort the Countess of Fettling back to Widow Lookout.
Before leaving, Lynn sent two fishing boats to accompany her, intending to return from the widow hope some farming seeds when Harry Kane returned.
After thinking about it, more than ten days have passed since this time, how can such a close distance be delayed until now?
According to Mrs. Fettling and Vayne, there should be no other ghosts outside the widow's hope, and some of the ghouls will not be able to defeat the Horsemen.
Could it be that Hood, the leader of the guards, shouted that he would go to the port and pick up the goods himself?
Do you need to do this by yourself?
Dani saw Lynn's confusion.
She explained, "Lord Hood, the carriage is ready, and he is waiting at the gate of the house, and he says that the soldiers who have entered the city to report that Lord Harry Kane seems to be seriously wounded. ”
When Lynn heard this, a trace of uneasiness welled up in her heart.
After thinking about it, he said to Dani: "I'll put on some clothes, you go and inform Hood, and ask him to send someone to the camp of the cavalry camp, go and ask Anna, a field doctor, to let the carriage wait for me at the gate of the mansion for a while." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Lynn turned around and was about to close the door, but saw the golden pig poking out the head of the eagle beak and lion head from the doorway, and the tiger's head was at Lynn's feet, arching outward.
Looking at it, it seemed that she was very curious about Dani and a middle-aged woman servant outside the house.
Before Dani could turn away, when she saw such a strange thing as the golden pig, her face turned pale with fright, and she pursed her lips and didn't know how to react.
The servant woman was even more frightened, and her legs trembled a little.
Lynn sighed, kicked the golden pig back into the house, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, this is a little Hippriff, and he will be a member of the Lord's Mansion in the future, so he will get along very well." ”
What Lynn said is light and light, just like saying, don't be afraid of being a small shrimp, harmless.
After speaking, he lowered his body, grabbed the golden pig's head that was about to arch outward, and threw it into the house.
smiled at the two people who were stunned outside the door.
Then the door was closed.
It wasn't long before Lynn walked out of the bedroom dressed in a black and white aristocratic dress and wearing a thick fur coat.
In the north, especially by the sea.
Even though it's still a long summer, it's freezing in the morning.
Lynn tightened her collar and arrived at the door of the mansion to get into the carriage that she had been waiting for for a long time.
The golden pig followed Lynn's footsteps and scurried into the carriage.
Hood, the leader of the guards on horseback, was also stunned by this little thing at first, but when he found that the lord's expression was calm and there was nothing abnormal, his face returned to normal.
The carriage, escorted by the knight Duncan and the Shifu, slowly drove out of the city gates.
Lynn asked Hood, the leader of the guards who was traveling with him, "The messenger said, 'Is Harry Kane doing now?'"
Hood sat on his horse and leaned over, saying, "The only source is that Commander Harry Kane has been seriously wounded, and that there are many wounded among the soldiers of the Cavalry Regiment who have returned to Hong Kong. ”
How could it be? Lynn's face was full of confusion, and his brow was furrowed.
Moments later, the carriage was on the docks, and Lynn had just jumped out of the carriage when several horses' hooves were heard behind her.
Anna, the captain of the field medics, and several female soldiers arrived in a horse-drawn cart, escorted by two Knights Templar.
Lynn waited for Anna in place, and then, converging up with the fishing boats that had docked in the harbor.
At the beginning, an extra fishing boat was specially arranged to go north, and Mrs. Fettling helped Zhang Luo to bring back more supplies.
But now, the two fishing boats that have returned from the widow's hope have only returned with one of them.
Obviously, something must have happened.
Lynn's face was not good, and she walked into the boat along the suspended pedals set up on the dock.
As soon as he stepped into the inner deck of the ship, a sickening, bloody gas rushed towards him.
Lynn rubbed her nose.
Guided by a soldier of the Cavalry Regiment, he came to a room at the bottom of the cabin.
The cabin was dark and dimly lit, with only one porthole that opened outwards and let in little natural light.
Lynn saw Harry Kane lying on a plank, his face a little pale. The abdomen was wrapped in gray-black gauze, and there were traces of blood that turned red to black.
Beside him, there were also a dozen or so wounded soldiers of the Cavalry Regiment.
The cotton armor on all of them seemed to have been torn open by sharp arrows.
A soldier was lying on a plank bed with two unremoved arrows on his back, striking in his back, but the wound was crusted over.
It seems that the accident has been going on for some time.
Lynn was spotted approaching the house.
Harry Kane opened his eyes with a somewhat weak expression, and he tried to get up and salute, but Lynn reached out and pressed his arm, motioning for him not to move.
Anna, with a few female medics, began to go around to help the wounded of the Cavalry Corps care for their wounds.
Seeing Harry Kane lie down weakly and slowly close his eyes, Lynn asked, "Kane, what happened?"
"My lord, ahem. Harry Kane's voice was weak, and the wound in his abdomen had not been treated in time, and it was clear that an infection had developed and even injured his internal organs.
"Your Excellency, we escorted the Countess of Fettling into the Widow's Lookout at your command, and fought the blue-eyed ghouls at the docks, but the losses were not great, but when we entered the Widow's Lookout Castle, the guards of the city suddenly snatched the Countess and attacked us. “
Speaking of this, Harry Kane paused, his face was extremely embarrassed, and he continued with a crying voice: "Most of the brothers of the Xiao Cavalry Regiment have been explained in the city, they have set up an ambush in advance, and we can only break through with the living brothers, my lord...... Of the more than 100 brothers of the Riding Regiment, less than 20 came back alive, including 12 people like me who were seriously injured. The sailors of the fishing village harbor we brought with us also took their lives, and we could only drift slowly down with the sea breeze on the sea, and then we were dragged back by the nearby fishermen's boats. ”
Harry Kane's eyes were tightly closed, his hands clenched into a fist, and his face was full of guilt and self-blame.
Lynn asked for some more details, then comforted him a few words and told Anna to take care of the wounded.
Back on the deck of the fishing boat, Lynn's face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were cold, looking at the sea to the north.
From Harry Kane's account, it is clear that the widow had changed hands during the time of the Countess of Fitlin's departure.
Lynn couldn't tell who did it.
It could be a vassal of the Fettling family, or it could be a nobleman or mercenary from outside.
However, no matter who it is, Lynn must make those guys pay the price of blood for ambushing his own cavalry group.
Suffering such a major blow for the first time, Lynn had to fight tooth for tooth and blood for blood.
Let the forces in the north face up to their strength.
If you dare to provoke the head of the fishing village port, even if it is the dragon king, you will knock out a mouthful of teeth.
Moreover, Widow's Hope is still the only way for Lynn's ships to go north, and Lynn will never allow a hostile force to exist in the waters of the east coast of the north.
Imagine that in the territory above your head, there is a navy that can go down the river at any time, and within a day, you can reach your territory by sea ship and launch a sneak attack.
What would it feel like?
It's like having a Dharma sword hanging from Lynn's head at all times, making him sleepless.
Lynn said in a deep voice, "Hood." ”
"Your Excellency. ”
"Immediately send someone to convey the story of the widow Wang's rebellion and attack on the soldiers of my territory to the White Harbor City to inform Lord Eel, and ask him to send the White Harbor Navy to support our fishing village to go north for revenge. Lynn grimaced and gritted her teeth.
I have paid a lot of the tax to Bai Gang, and the knights of your family have also made a lot of money in me.
As a vassal of White Harbor, Fishing Village Harbor has been bullied, so you should always stand up and administer justice.
Back on the docks, Lynn pursed her lips and thought about her thoughts.
At his feet, the little eagle lion 'Golden Pig' suddenly flapped its wings and screamed, and plunged into a box of fish that had just been unloaded by a harbor fisherman.
