"Two big brothers, where are we going?"

Dreem, who was caught in the middle, still couldn't react.

"Of course it's a whip."

"Huh?"

"Don't worry, boy, we know the severity, and we won't really give you anything, but you have to cooperate, you know?"

"How do I cooperate?"

"Will scream? The worse the scream, the better. ”

The Varangian guard who escorted Dem spat and spat: "What kind of bullshit king's envoy, that's where our duty lies, otherwise we will have to ask him to get a fist." ”

The banquet couldn't go any longer.

Countless onlookers followed the Varangian guard.

"That knight stood up for the sake of our unpunished, and I would rather go and receive a flogging than stay at the banquet to eat and drink."

"What's his name?"

"I know, his name is Drem, and we prayed together in the Sanctuary of Lazarus last night, and today we were all knighted by the Marquis."

"That Drem, it seems to be a Kurd."

The solidarity seems to have suddenly become much quieter.

In the crowd, a knight suddenly stood up and shouted: "Guys, listen to me, is it difficult that Knight Ream is a Kurd, and his bravery, integrity, should be erased?" Isn't it precisely because he is a Kurdish that his actions are even more noble and rare? ”

"Lord Ulm is right!"

It was the chief hussar Ulm who stood up to speak for Drem, whose generosity and integrity were known to everyone among the lower ranks, many of whom had received his favors, and when he spoke, he naturally responded.

"I want to persuade you to take back your life."

"Even the Marquis, you can't punish a man of integrity."

Ulm then stood up again and shouted: "My brothers, do you think that Ulm should not be whipped here?" Didn't he violate military discipline and take the lead in provoking an attack on the envoys in the barracks? Although it is clear to each of us that he was defending the dignity of the Marquis and defending the honor of his own lord, this does not erase his mistakes. ”

He paused slightly, and then said, "Your Excellency has rewarded him for his loyalty and integrity, and promoted him to the heavy cavalry company, but correspondingly, his punishment will never be, and should not be reduced. Do you still think that the punishment of adults is too harsh? ”

A group of knights, quasi-knights, couldn't help but look at each other.

The heavy cavalry company, of course, is the most famous of which is the hussars, which are the guards cavalry who follow the adults, this honor makes many people can't help but have a strong sense of envy for a while.

However, many hussars who were originally in this sequence and were canonized as knights today, as well as armored archers, shouted one after another.

"I'd love to take this guy as our companion, because I can safely flank or back him on the battlefield!"

Dreem, who didn't expect to make such a big move, still looked at this scene with some blankness.

The Varangian guard, holding the whip, reminded in a low voice: "What's the matter, this whip is not unjust, right? ”

Drem nodded, with his cleverness, of course, he knew that after this whip, he would be completely accepted by his colleagues - he had already considered this when he stood up decisively.

"Then prepare."

was flogged, but the thunder was loud and the rain was small.

Dreem, who was escorted all the way to the wounded barracks by two Varangian guards, looked at the white linen hanging in the sun to dry, and the whitefriars who hurried in and out of the tents, and were a little overwhelmed.

"Two brothers, when will I be back at my camp?" ”

"Don't think about it, now everyone knows that you have been whipped thirty times, and during this time, you will stay in the wounded barracks for your life, don't mess around, it will damage the reputation of the adults."

Drem nodded hurriedly, thinking of Lord Marquis, his heart was also full of gratitude: "I know, I won't run around during this time." ”

"Well, let's go in, and we'll not hold you."

After saying goodbye to the two Varangian guards, Drem gathered his emotions and walked towards the inside of the wounded barracks.

He tried to talk to someone, but almost everyone who came and went was in a hurry to do his work, and for a moment he did not know what to do, so he had to pick a tent at random, and prepare to come in to inquire where Bishop Uldin's was.

In the tent lived two wounded soldiers, who were obviously almost healed from their injuries, sitting on their beds and chatting.

"The march to Egypt is about to take place, and hopefully we will have recovered by then, and I have heard that the land of the Nile Valley is so fertile that if you sow the seeds, you don't need any care, and when the harvest season comes, you can fill your granary."

"In comparison, the land in our hometown is too barren, hard, full of stones, and difficult to cultivate. Why do the Gauls always taunt us poor ghosts in the barracks, isn't it because their land is more fertile? ”

"I hope that this time we will make a meritorious achievement, and obtain a piece of fiefdom in the Nile Valley, even if it is only a small piece of the Nile Valley, and I will rent it to the tenant farmers, and watch them work every day, and enjoy the treatment of a noble lord."

"That."

Drem coughed lightly, "Excuse me, where is Bishop Uldin?" ”

"Who are you?"

The two wounded soldiers immediately became vigilant.

"I'm Drem, who has just been knighted by the Marquis, and this is my coat of arms. This morning, I made an appointment with Bishop Ulding to meet here, but he didn't say where I wanted me to find him."

Drame hurriedly took out his heraldic ring to prove his identity.

The two wounded soldiers looked at each other, and one of them said: "It turned out to be a noble knight, but I'm sorry, I still can't reveal to you where the bishop is, because during this time, there are too many noble lords who want to seek treatment from Bishop Uldin, and they have all heard that Bishop Ulding cured the miracle of His Majesty's leprosy." ”

The other said, somewhat indignantly, "Those noble lords want Bishop Ulding to see for himself for the little problems they don't lift in bed, or for the little problems of toothache and hemorrhoids—but we still have so many brothers lying in the tents wailing and waiting for treatment. ”

"Yes, I know that in the eyes of the nobles, we soldiers can't even compare to one of their toes, but we will never disturb Bishop Ulding at this time."

"Brothers, please believe me, I swear in the name of the Marquis to whom I am loyal that I am by no means a broker invited by a noble lord.

Previously, I was an ordinary soldier in the scout camp, guys, please look at the sun marks on my body, no one knows the suffering of our low-level soldiers better than me. ”

The two soldiers glanced at each other, in this era, taking an oath to the lord is quite a serious oath, once he dares to break it, it is an insult to the reputation of the Marquis of Lothar, and that price is by no means something that a knight can afford.

But they were still hesitant.

Bishop Uldin refused the invitation of many nobles during this time, and in their simple values, every time the bishop refused, it meant offending a group of nobles.

It doesn't matter if there are one or two, but if there are too many, no one knows what the consequences will be.

This made them reluctant to reveal Uldin's location easily, and not just because they were afraid that Uldin would be invited to treat the minor problems of the nobles, and let the wounded soldiers die.

They knew very well that Bishop Ulding was not that kind of person.

Drem said angrily, "Don't you even believe the Marquis?" Don't you know that the Grand Master of the Lazarus Redemption Order, who established this camp for wounded soldiers, is the Marquis himself? ”
