Chapter 459

"Let's go, the gates are open. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Jonas watched the city gate slowly open, and said to several knights beside him, taking the lead, and then went in the direction of the Turin city gate, and in less than a while, the war horse stopped in the Turin city gate, and many soldiers were waiting on the avenue at the city gate, and on both sides were the six knights, as soon as they saw Jonas, they immediately bowed halfway, Jonas was not their lord, but his status in the principality was very high, so they took the lead in saluting, in line with the etiquette system.

Seeing Jonas riding into the city on horseback, Kohler just wanted to speak, Jonas on the opposite side pulled the reins, stopped the war horse in front of several people, and then stretched out a hand in front of them, that hand held a ring, Kohler's eyesight is not bad, naturally saw the shape of this ring, and couldn't help but be surprised, the ring of the Al Ramici family is the most authoritative in the entire principality, representing Il, even ordinary people know his shape, seeing this ring, Kohler immediately understood that Jonas's arrival was a little unusual, he quickly let the soldiers around him resume duty, dispersed the crowd, and then took the remaining six knights, to salute Il again, this time, exactly to the lord.

In this era, although the system pursued is that the vassals of my vassals are not my vassals, but the Duchy of Susa is slightly different, although Il does not have the same rights as the vassals of the central dynasty, but compared to other peers, his authority is much greater, and Jonas, who holds the ring of Il, is naturally regarded by these people as the incarnation of Il, even if Karst sees it, he will not say anything.

In Susa, Il is a well-deserved ruler, and no one dares to question this.

"Lord Jonas, do you have any orders from His Royal Highness the Duke? Kohler saluted and stood up, and immediately asked in a low voice, Jonas looked at him, and saw that the remaining five knights around him were standing next to Kohler, as if they were looking at Kohler's horse, and knew in their hearts that he should be Karst's commander who stayed in Turin, so he no longer concealed it, but this matter was too complicated to say here, Jonas looked around, and then said to the person in front of him: "His Highness Il does have an order that I need to convey, but this is not the place to speak, let's find a place to talk about it first." ”

"Yes, is it okay for the administrative hall in Turin? Kohler immediately replied, Jonas nodded when he heard this, the best house in Turin is naturally not the administrative hall, but the karst residence, but the karst is not there, he can't ask the other party to let him live in it out of courtesy, which is a kind of disrespect for the karst, so he didn't object, anyway, he had lived in the administrative hall before, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he said: " Of course, Mr. Knight, I have an army behind me, I think you have seen it, please help me to take them to a vacant place in the city of Turin, they need to rest. ”

"No problem, Your Excellency, please go this way, hey, you leave one behind, and wait for His Excellency's army to take them to the empty barracks in Turin, please. Kohler hurriedly said to the four knights, and then led Jonas to the direction of the administrative hall with Franz beside him, the administrative hall is located on the side of the city gate avenue, and it is very convenient to find this two-story building, at this time the administrative hall is full of people, Kohler and Franz walked in first, and after a while, many people came out of it, lined up, very neat, and bowed when they saw Jonas, as a sign of respect.

It's just that most of the people have a little doubt on their faces, obviously they don't understand why they have to be kicked out during working hours, and there are two knights, Kohler and Franz who drove them out, they think that something is unusual, but what happened exactly, no one knows, many residents around also heard the movement, and looked towards the administrative hall, and saw Jonas riding a horse, standing in the middle of the avenue, and began to discuss.

Jonas naturally heard their discussions, and Jonas didn't care about this, because the discussions of these residents were completely meaningless, as long as things were arranged, as the armies arrived in Turin, everyone would know what was going on, besides, for the people of Karst, Jonas still adhered to the principle of prudence, he didn't want to wait for Karst to come back, come to him to ask why he wanted to communicate with the people in his territory, offend an earl, this is obviously not in his interests, so Jonas remembered that the purpose of his coming here was to prevent Marshal Petain's army from entering Susa, as for other issuesJonas didn't even know.

Jonas sat on his horse and warned him of what he was doing, while Kohler and Franz quickly ceded most of the entire administrative hall, leaving only some necessary institutions to keep it running, and then Kohler walked out and said to Jonas: "Your Excellency, the room is ready. “

"Okay, let's go in and talk. Jonas nodded, got off the horse, and followed Kohler into the administrative hall, and then entered a room, the room was very large, and there was some paper and ink on the desk, obviously it was still in use here just now, which made Jonas a little embarrassed, it seems that his arrival has disturbed the normal work order of the people here, thinking of this, he can't help but want to solve the matter quickly, so without waiting for Kohler to speak, Jonas took the lead in saying:

"This is Eir's ring, and here is Mr. Eir's letter, you can open it and look at it to see why I'm here. Jonas moved very neatly, took out the letter sent to him by Il, took out the letter from his pocket and put it on the table, Kohler immediately picked up the letter and began to read it, Franz on the side also came up, Il's letter, they really haven't read it, but since it was taken out by Jonas, the person holding Il's ring, naturally there is no need to doubt it, and the two looked at it seriously.

The content of the letter was undoubtedly shocking, and so were Kohler and Franz, especially since the Alpine checkpoint was too close to Turin, and if they rushed down from the mountain, it would only take half a day to reach Turin City.

Jonas saw Kohler's violent reaction, knowing that he recognized the seriousness of the problem, which made Jonas breathe a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the people left behind by Karst were reckless men like him, if this was the case, the matter of mobilizing the army to gather in Turin City would inevitably make the people of Turin City unhappy, and even uncooperative was possible, which would make Jonas's work difficult to continue, and now that Kohler could realize the seriousness of the problem, Jonas immediately followed and said:

"Lord Il has ordered me to assemble the entire Third Knights of Susa, they will arrive in Turin City one after another, in addition, there is an army of 20,000 people, which will also be gathered around Turin City in a short time, I need you to arrange some military camps and open spaces as much as possible during this time, so that the soldiers who are rushing can rest, Knight Kohler, can you in Turin City do it?"

"Will the Third Knights be assembled?" Kohler glanced up at Jonas, then looked at the letter, and found the message that Jonas said, the line of 'Viscount Jonas Ruger temporarily appointed as the interim head of the Third Knights', Kohler finally confirmed the truth of Jonas's words, he looked at Jonas, Jonas felt a little strange, and said in his heart that he was unwilling to let the Turin City pour in the army, but he didn't expect that at this moment, Kohler and Franz were both half-kneeling on the ground, and Jonas was stunned all of a sudden.

But before he could ask, Kohler and Franz said in unison: "In the Seventh Brigade of the Lower Third Knights, Knight Kohler's Standard-bearer/Franz Standard-bearer, see the captain." After speaking, his right hand hung down his chest, and then lowered his head to show surrender, and then Jonas understood, it turned out that these two were also members of the Knights, no wonder they looked at themselves so much when they heard their words, it turned out that they had misunderstood.

In the knight system designed by Il, if there is no conscription, then each knight is free, even if it is the commander, he is not qualified to command any knight, but if it is recruited, all knights must obey the command of the commander, even if the commander's order is contrary to the lord's order, they must be the first to carry out the commander's order, and whether to be recruited or not depends entirely on the order of Il, and because of this, the vassals of the Duchy of Susa are not as unscrupulous as other places, but unite around Il, obeying orders。

"Get up, Knight Kohler, Knight Franz, I need you to hurry up and prepare the tents and the camp of the army, and inform the citizens of Turin about this, in addition to this, I have given an order to the entire Piedmontese lords, the food, meat, and cattle needed by the entire army will be delivered in the near future, I think you should also need to organize people to receive these things, we are short of time, you see, what should be done to complete it?"

Jonas wasn't used to being treated like this, especially when two of his peers knelt in front of him, which made Jonas very awkward, and he had too many problems at hand now, and the time left for them was too short, so he had to hurry up and solve all these problems.

"Please rest assured, our Turin City will definitely do our best to assist you in completing this mission, the people of the entire Turin City are the most loyal people of Turin City, the great Turin is in trouble, everyone will work together, we will arrange all this, God bless Susa." ”

Kohler immediately said that the news that Marshal Petain's army had entered Savoy made Kohler a little unresponsive, and Jonas's words gave him a direction to work, and he hurriedly said to Jonas, the emergency situation made him never as nervous as he was at this moment, and Jonas saw that he was going out, and quickly stopped him, saying:

"Wait a minute, Knight Kohler, in addition to what I just said, I think we need to get in touch with the defenders of the Alpine checkpoint, Turin is a mountain city, I think you should have some people who are good at mountaineering, we have to keep in touch with them, so, can you send an advance team to the Alps?" Jonas asked, it wasn't that he was reluctant to let his troops climb the mountain, but because most of his troops lived in the plains, and let them climb the mountain, not to mention the slow speed, maybe they would be lost in the vast snowfield and disappear forever.

The people of Turin are different, they have lived in a mountain town for a long time, next to the majestic Alps, which gives all Turinese people a natural skating rink, for ice and snow, no one is more familiar with them, they know the many paths in the Alps, and they also know how to survive in the ice and snow, and it is precisely because of this that when Karst crossed the iceberg, all the knights were able to pass smoothly, and no one died in it, which has an inseparable relationship with the deep snowy feelings of Turin City.

"Of course, I'll immediately organize the troops to go to the Alpine checkpoint, sir, do you have any other orders?" Kohler agreed, then looked at Jonas and asked, Jonas was shocked by the speed of his quick question, and for a moment there was really nothing more to say.

"No, knight, you can go about your own business. Jonas said.

"Then I will leave, Your Excellency. Kohler and Franz stood up straight and bent over, and then left the room, of which Kohler stayed in the administrative hall to work, while Franz went to the barracks, arranged for the people to prepare for the mountaineering, everything went on tense and orderly, two days later, the third knight was all in order, and the 14,000 elite troops were also assembled outside the city of Turin, looking at the army in front of him, this was the first time he commanded such a huge army alone, Jonas's heart was full of tension, but at the same time, a proud emotion also accumulated in his chest, making him feel full of energy。

It's a very magical feeling, but it's not annoying, standing in front of Jonas, there are a thousand knights, they are divided into ten brigades, each of which is a hundred people, arranged quite neatly, everyone is wearing heavy armor, standing in the front row, like a sea of steel, breathtaking, and behind them, there is a boundless army, everyone is strong, they are all born by selection, looking at them, Jonas is suddenly full of confidence in Susa.
