Chapter 19: The Man on the Road to Despair
"The person you're talking about should be Head Short, and he's not bad, but sometimes he seems ...... Uh, it's ruthless." Sparky stepped out the door and whispered to Feng Luo.
Feng Luo didn't say anything, and continued to listen carefully to the change in the other party's tone, hoping to find a little flaw. In fact, I hope that Sparker is not lying.
"Believe it or not, I really don't know what Short did. Duke Manton is dead, and I may be able to take his place, but the situation will be dire, and the Kingdom of Davao may be destroyed!" Sparker said in an accentuated tone.
Feng Luo nodded, indicating that he understood. The Duke of Manton was old and dignified, and his prestige was very high, and he was at the front line, and everyone did their best. And with Spark, the morale of the army is bound to be weakened, and it is no longer the ability or courage that can make up for it.
Once some people refuse to support Spark, such as those on Stitch's side, the stability of the entire front will be impaired, and defeat will come quickly. Spark's territory is here, and what you have worked hard for a lifetime will be lost.
And from the current situation, it is difficult to reverse. And I have to hope that the army of the Haori Kingdom will not come soon.
"Why did Schott do this?" asked Feng Luo. From a big point of view, the harm of killing the Duke of Manton far outweighs the benefits. SCHOTT can be the head of a group, it can't be a stupid, there must be a purpose to do such a thing.
Sparky smiled wryly, and a few wrinkles appeared in the corners of his eyes.
"I think he's going to have to think about the family. Sparker said slowly, "His family is not in a good situation, so he will get closer to me." I'm standing firm here, it's good for him, so he'll try to help me. ”
As a result of his help, a Duke of the Kingdom died!
Feng Luo suddenly discovered that the place of death was not terrible, and killing people was very direct. In some places where you can't see it, you can't see blood when you kill people, and even the dead don't know how to die.
"Isn't he afraid of failure? I mean, once the Haori Kingdom invades, even the Davao Kingdom will be destroyed, isn't Captain Short worried?" Feng Luo asked puzzled. After the eggs are laid under the dangerous nest, the country will die, how can the family survive?
Sparky let out a long sigh and said, "Many families have existed longer than the history of the country, and when the country has perished, they have just changed their allegiance. If Davao is destroyed, the situation will change drastically, and the opportunity for the weak family will come!"
"The establishment of a new country still requires the help of the big family. So, they don't really worry much about war!" Sparker concluded with a final conclusion.
The family is the big tree, and the country is the forest. Of course, families need to be protected by the state, and the country is inseparable from big families. With the change of dynasty, some families may be weakened, but there are still opportunities for some families to develop.
Feng Luo thought for a moment and understood. If he becomes the new ruler of the country, he will suppress some of the most powerful families in the past, and then win over the weaker families to maintain the balance of power.
He suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Spark, and the real target of Short's calculations was actually the commander of the heavy cavalry.
Sparky has been cornered, and the only way to do this is to hold the touchline and secure victory for Davao. He has no family, and the Haori Kingdom will eradicate this general without scruples. His territory is a military stronghold, and it will definitely be taken away.
Feng Luo found that once Davao destroyed the country, he could go, and Sparker would definitely die.
"I hope you'll be able to help me, at least until the battle is decided, and don't rush to leave. Sparker also seemed to think of his fate, and said to Feng Luo in a pleading tone.
"Don't you think this is the best chance to be promoted to duke, Count Spark, and I hope you will help me get a reward when you are developed. Feng Luo replied.
Sparker was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw Feng Luo's smiling face, and couldn't help laughing.
"As long as you defeat the Haori Kingdom, I will send you another five miles, no, ten miles. If you're going to expand your territory to the south or below, I'll support you with five squads of heavy cavalry, free!" Sparky was in a cheerful mood, putting his worries aside.
The greater the challenge, the greater the opportunity. A man like him, who had nothing before, at most goes back to the beginning, and there is nothing more to lose. If you seize the opportunity, maybe the opportunity to really build a family has come!
The third-class earl, if he can't get one step closer, even if he establishes a family, it will be unstable. If the children and grandchildren do not fight, after two or three generations, they will decay and be excluded and eaten away by other families.
Sparky patted Feng Luo on the shoulder, and the meaning was obvious. Also starting from the bottom, in the face of challenges and opportunities, the two of them are natural comrades-in-arms!
Not far from the city lord's mansion, there were many soldiers lined up one after another. In an open place, you can also set up a formation. And in the small alleys, only people can be crowded.
A clear dividing line that separates the soldiers on both sides. One side is slowly squeezing forward, and the other side is trying to stop the decline and protect the mansion from encroachment.
The fire in the city lord's mansion was mostly extinguished, and there was still some fire.
The soldiers did not know what was happening, only to obey orders. But the high-ranking generals have undergone great changes, and their fates have turned so quickly that they may not experience it again in their lives.
After escaping, the regimental commanders sent elite troops to besiege the city lord's mansion as quickly as possible. It's a pity that after their identities changed to army generals, they did not have the previous tacit understanding and fought separately. And the streets of the city are not spacious enough to be carried out.
After Spark's mediation, the various forces reluctantly launched an orderly attack. But the combat effectiveness is low, far less than in the open field. This also had to do with the lack of a unified command, after all, Sparky did not officially take over the position of Duke of Manton.
On both sides of the confrontation, many people know each other and often fight side by side. The battle order was given from above, and the specific reason would not be stated, so the soldiers did not do their best. This is also one of the reasons why the battle situation is changing slowly, but it is still very intense on the surface.
"Stop the attack!" Spark, when he arrived, loudly issued an armistice order.
The soldiers on the attacking side breathed a sigh of relief and raised their shields at the front. And the soldiers on the defensive, too, stopped attacking and held their positions.
The other regimental commanders came over one after another, puzzled by Spark's order. The city lord's mansion was surrounded by a group of people, and it could be breached within an hour, so why did it suddenly stop?
"Spark, why don't you attack, that kid is as cunning as a fox, don't give him a chance!" a regimental commander asked. Despite the dissatisfaction, there is still a minimum of respect for Spark.
Spark's face was full of seriousness: "There is no time, if we continue to fight, Stitch will not be able to escape, and we will not have much way to live!"
