Chapter 181: Misunderstanding
Embarking on the road back to the city of Rien, William's heart was filled with emotion. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWho would have thought that he would leave the city of Rien as the leader of the rebels, and when he returned, he would have returned to the Empire. It's really the impermanence of the world, and the providence of God makes people!
At the head of Rien City, Viscount Murphy looked at this vast city, and sighed in his heart that the world was impermanent, and he couldn't imagine that Rien City was easily occupied by the southern rebels, and it was so easily recaptured by himself, maybe the people of Rien City are used to living in too peaceful and stable days, and they can't withstand the slightest wind and rain, and for those with ill intentions, it is basically like being undefended.
"Viscount Murphy, come on!" Baron Leon greeted at the other end of the wall.
Viscount Murphy retracted his divergent thoughts, walked quickly to Baron Leon's side, followed Baron Leon's guidance, and saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, and it was obvious that a large army was rushing towards this side.
"According to you...... Is this the army of the Empire or those southern rebels?" Viscount Murphy turned his head and asked Baron Leon, who was now the only nobleman who knew military affairs to temporarily take over the position of city defense officer.
"Previously, when the southern rebels left Ryan City, I estimated that nine times out of ten they went to ambush the Imperial Rebels, but I don't know what the outcome will be. However, according to my guess, the Grizzlies have already suffered a loss to the Southern rebels, and they should not be easily ambushed again. And the rebels are not strong enough, looking at the scale of those smoke and dust, it seems that the Imperial Counterinsurgency Army is coming. Baron Leon rubbed his chin and guessed.
However, speculation is speculation, there should still be no less vigilance, Baron Leon informed the soldiers of the city defense and those noble private soldiers to prepare for battle, if there is an enemy army, then the city must be defended.
As time passed, a black line appeared on the avenue in the distance, and as the distance gradually approached, Baron Leon's face became more and more ugly, and the color of the southern soldiers' uniforms could be faintly seen in the group in the distance.
"Damn, how can it be the Southern rebels, is it really a name for nothing? It will be defeated twice in a row by those damned rebels??? shit! It's all damn rubbish!" After all, it was a military aristocrat from the ranks, and Baron Leon's mouth spat out a series of swear words and kept cursing.
Viscount Murphy's face was also a little pale, he had just taken the city of Rien, and he didn't want the city to fall back into the hands of the rebels.
"All the soldiers go up to the wall, pick up your bows and arrows, pick up your knives and guns, and never let the damned rebels plague our city again!" Viscount Murphy didn't care about any aristocratic demeanor, ripped off the button on his collar, and commanded the soldiers to prepare for battle.
When Archduke William and Leo arrived at the city of Lyon, they found that the flags had already changed at the head of the city, and the walls were densely packed with soldiers with guns.
Seeing the scene on the city wall, Leo nodded secretly, it seems that the rebellion work of Baidi Xingzhong is still very good, and the nobles of Rien City have really seized control of Rien City.
For William and the southern soldiers, they were full of joy. Fortunately, he listened to the persuasion of Count Leo and returned to the empire in time, otherwise what if he could defeat the Grizzly Legion?
With the Wei soldiers in front and the southern soldiers behind, a team of men and horses came to the gate of Lien City, but found that the gate of Lien City was closed, and there was no intention of opening the door to let them go. At this time, Leo suddenly realized that the matter was probably a big oolong, and the nobles in the city of Lane seized control according to the plan, but their side recruited Archduke William to surrender, and the city of Lane saw those southern soldiers following him all the way, and they must have regarded themselves as rebels.
Sure enough, just as Leo thought, when the hundred generals Mu Fang stepped forward to call the door, he was almost hit by the arrows shot from the city, but fortunately, the Wei State military armor was more thorough, so he was able to retreat.
"Hmph, do these rebels think we are fools? They even dare to say that they are the Imperial Counterinsurgency Army, and that they also say that the Count Leo, the commander of the Counterinsurgency Army, is there in person. They didn't even want to change their uniforms and wanted to open the city gate by fraud? It's really wishful thinking, and I don't want to think about the noble status of the commander of the Pingping rebels, under the heavy protection of the Grizzly Legion, how can they get involved with their group of rebels?" Baron Leon felt that his IQ had been insulted by the southern rebels, and kept complaining that the rebels were really too naïve, even if they wanted to open the city gates, they had to at least make up a decent reason.
Viscount Murphy at the head of the city also turned his nose up at the southern rebels who came to call the door, but out of his usual caution, he still sent someone to the city to inform Baiji Yushige. After all, Baidi Yushige is Count Leo's person, and whether the following is Count Leo or not, it will definitely not be able to hide the eyes of Baidi Xingzhong.
Outside the city, Leo hammered each other with both hands, somewhat irritated. Of course, it wasn't the nobles of Ryan City in the city who were annoyed by him, but that he himself was able to neglect things to such an extent, which was really embarrassing.
Leo ...... Excuse me, Lord Count Leo! I'm afraid we, the southerners, have misunderstood. Archduke William stepped forward with some embarrassment and said to Leo that he was still a little uncomfortable with the change of identities between the two at the moment.
"You don't need to be so polite, just call me Leo, and I'll just call you William!" Leo wouldn't blame William and the southern soldiers even if he was annoyed, this matter was obviously not thought through himself.
Leo's straightforwardness and friendliness relieved William's heart, after all, he had just joined Leo's command and encountered such an embarrassing situation, and he had been worried about whether it would affect Leo's opinion of him and the southern soldiers.
"For now, we can only wait for Captain McShunner and them to come over, let's find a place to camp and rest first. Leo looked helplessly at the soldiers of Ryan City who were waiting on the city wall in the distance, spread his hands and said to William.
Looking at Leo's helpless appearance, William's heart suddenly wanted to laugh, this is the real Leo, don't look at his repeated miraculous achievements, the title has soared, but in the end he is just a young man under the age of twenty, some small mistakes and small negligence make him more real and easier to get close to.
Since this combat mission was to recover the three southern provinces, and even to take revenge on the Kingdom of Lorraine, the Grizzly Bear Legion had to escort a huge amount of baggage grain and grass all the way to maintain the battle, so the marching speed was really not fast, until Leo felt that he was about to be roasted into jerky by the scorching sun, and the rumbling footsteps of the march were heard in the distance.
