Verse 19 - The fate of the town

Aristocrats can be greedy, they can be bastards, they can be weak, they can be scoundrels, they can have all sorts of shortcomings and strange hobbies, but they must not be stupid, especially the head of the family.

Everyone knows that a swordsman led by a stupid pig can't even beat a group of unarmed farmers.

What Cedar Town's armaments were, they all knew.

Lacking professional training and outdated equipment, the town guards can't even do the bodyguards of passing merchants, so they can only bully the honest people in the Bart family's territory.

Some members of the Bart family set their eyes on Lin Mo, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.

"What are you afraid of, we still have Lord Dragon Knight! ”

"You're crazy, let him summon the golden dragon, you might as well face the army of the Republic of Portland, that murderous dragon will kill us and the enemy together!"

“......”

The short-term heat cooled down in the blink of an eye, and some people whimpered in their hearts, how good it would be if the dragon of the dragon knight in front of them was not a golden dragon!

One can imagine how terrifying the image of the ferocious golden dragon is in their minds.

"It's great to be like a bunch of headless flies, hmph, what can you do with dragon knights here, without dragons, what can you do against a real army, and soon I will be a nobleman of the Republic of Portland, Uncle Klaas, if you are smarter, you better marry Semier to me, and swear that the entire Bart family will obey me and become vassals, and I can leave the Bart family alive. ”

Roger was sitting at the dining table, and there was a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes, and the calmer he was without saying a word, the more he snickered in his heart.

"Shut up! I'm not dead yet!"

Lord Klaas Bart, who had pushed away the messenger, slammed the table and swept away the members of the family who were already in disarray before the enemy arrived.

The head of the family suddenly exerted his might, which silenced everyone, and the restaurant immediately fell silent, and a heavy breathing could be heard.

"Inform all the clansmen, pack up their belongings and food, prepare the carriage, and everyone evacuate Cedar Town and go to Li'an City, Roger, you and my housekeeper will set off at once, bring me a letter to Baron Hong Yu, the lord of Li'an City, and tell him that the Republic of Portland has launched an invasion, and Cedar Town has been lost, and ask him to send someone to pick up our Bart family. ”

Klaas Barth withdrew his gaze from his nephew, his eyes suddenly lost his mind, and he lowered his head, as if he had lost all his strength, and said: "Let the town guard inform the civilians inside and outside the town, and let them find a way to hide or flee to Lean City, our Bart family can only do so much now." ”

Although the epic is sung one by one heroes who turned the tide, it is just a legend that has been beautified by poets and authors, who would have thought that the innocent bones abandoned behind it, and the beautiful fantasy will never be able to defeat the cruel reality.

Upon hearing that the troops of the neighboring country had successfully crossed the natural barrier along the border, the Bart family did not hesitate to abandon the civilians and Cedar Town within the territory.

For a long time, Cedar Town, on the eastern border of the Empire, was almost an undefended town, and Lord Klaas Barth, as the local lord, never thought of resisting.

What resistance do they have when they have more than enough heart but not enough strength?

In the face of enemy soldiers armed to the teeth, any hostile acts and actions may only invite bloody and brutal slaughter.

Although he had not experienced a war, from the rumors of the war between the Slan Empire and the Tessie Empire, Klaas still had some psychological preparation.

"Don't worry, Uncle Klaas, I'll hand over the letter to Baron Hong Yu myself. ”

Roger bent slightly, as if he was happy to accept such a task, at least not to stay in this place that was about to be deserted, and to leave sooner and safer.

"Be careful along the way, Roger, and say hello to your mother for me. ”

The Lady Kelly instructed the maid to fetch pen and paper for her husband while telling Roger.

The backbone of the family is still there, so she is not panicking.

Klaas had no son with her, and no matter how hard she tried, after giving birth to Sammel, Lady Kelly's stomach never reacted at all.

Therefore, having a clever nephew is naturally easy to be liked by the lord and his wife who are eager to have a son.

If he was good enough, Kelly and Klaas wouldn't even mind letting him kiss his own jewel, Sammel.

Klaas said apologetically to Limmer, "I'm really sorry, Lord Morin, I hope you and your friends get out of here as soon as possible, it's no longer safe here, of course, you can go to Lean City with us." ”

He also knew very well that a dragon knight who was not by his side was at best stronger than ordinary knights, and the role he could play in the face of a fierce enemy army was quite limited.

The battlefield of the Dragon Knight is in the sky, not on the ground.

I heard that in the tragic battle of the Central Mountains of Hailar, even the dragon knights would not be spared once they fell into the frantic siege of the ground forces.

"It's a shame, but I'd like to have a night's rest in town. ”

Lin Mo sighed in his heart, he should have come, he still came, but he was not in a hurry to leave.

Ever since he killed the Wyvern Knight of the Republic of Portland, he knew that sooner or later, the opposing army's army would invade the eastern part of the empire through the Mist Forest.

Without the two natural barriers of the Ice Rock Mountains and the Green Mist Forest, the enemy army will occupy one town after another with the momentum of sparks, and by the time the Slan Empire reacts, it has already lost the opportunity.

"Please take care. ”

Lord Klaas did not persuade any more, returned to the table, pushed away the cutlery in front of him, took the paper and pen handed by the servant, and began to write a letter to the lord of Lean.

He knew very well that with the strength of the dragon knight, as long as he didn't make any stupid moves, it would be absolutely more than enough to protect himself, not to mention that there were two helpers beside the other party.

Although I don't know what the skills of the two exotic female rangers are in Lu Dao, I believe that they are not far behind being able to be with the dragon knights.

"Oh my God, these damn Portlanders, the gods should punish them severely. ”

The Lord's daughter, Semier, could only reluctantly get up and leave the dining room at the urging of her mother, Lady Kelly, to pack up her things.

A sumptuous dinner party had to be aborted because of this sudden bad news, and neither Lord Klaas nor the rest of the Bart family had any intention of continuing to entertain the dragon knight, and they were anxious to pack up what they could take with them and prepare to leave Cedar Town.

"Lord Morin, I'll go first!"

Roger, a young merchant, held a torch, straddled his horse and greeted Lin Mo's chest, and without waiting for the other party to respond, he flicked the reins and rushed into the night outside the manor with the butler of the Bart family under the protection of the two manor knights.

The sound of horses' hooves faded away like the beat of a war drum.

"Lin Mo, do you believe that Roger will deliver the letter to Baron Hong Yu?"

Li Mubing, the younger sister of the twin stars, tossed a bag of gold coins in her hand, which was one of the little intentions used by the local lord Lord Klaes Bart to curry favor with Lin Mo, and now it fell into her hands.

There are times when women are really the same as dragons, such as knights, gold coins, gems, and many other shiny things.

She once opened the mouth of the bag and glanced inside, the golden light was dazzling, and the weight was at least a hundred gold coins, which was a lot of money.

Of course, this also includes severance pay, after all, Cedar Town is no longer a place to stay for a long time, and the Portlanders' army may appear outside the town at any time, and war is threatening this town.

In addition to this, there is a black steed and an elegantly decorated two-handed knight's greatsword.

The two-handed knight's greatsword was originally a collection of the Bart family, but now it happens to be given to the dragon knight as a gift by Lord Lord, which is somewhat like a sword for heroes.

Of course, it can't be compared with the dragon slashing sword made by master craftsmen and dedicated to dragon knights, but the blade is like a mirror, and the cold air is pressing, and it is a rare weapon.

Being able to get a dragon knight is definitely a good deal for the Bart family.

Lin Mo smiled noncommittally at Sister Gemini's words, beckoned to the Bart family servant standing at the gate of the manor, and said, "Please tell Lord Klaas, if you can, let him send a second team to deliver the letter to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

He answered Li Mubing's cold ridicule with practical actions.

"Yes, my lord!"

The servant of the manor nodded his head in acknowledgment of the note.

Lin Mo had never thought of solemnly warning the Bart family, and I was afraid that Lord Klaes Bart would only trust his nephew more than his own relationship and trust with the other party.

Even if it was a reminder, the people of the Bart family had no power to change the fate that Cedar Town was about to face.

What's more, Klaas, as the head of the family and the holder of the title, has already made the decision to abandon the territory and flee to Li'an City for refuge.

"What are you talking about? Well, Merlin, you must not have eaten enough, look! I just secretly hid a little, hahaha, enough for us to eat. ”

Charlie took out a large chicken leg from his bosom with his oily claws and handed it to the dragon knight.

It's no wonder that this guy came out of the manor with a bulging chest and abdomen, and he secretly hid a lot of food when the people of the Bart family were surprised to hear about the enemy, and it seemed that he had gained a lot from listening to the tone.

"Thank you, Charlie!" Lin Mo didn't mind taking the chicken leg and taking a hard bite.

He and Charlie looked at each other and laughed loudly in unison, not at all worried about the impending military disaster.

The twin sisters withdrew their gaze from the heartless foodie pair and glanced at each other, the two sisters were almost identical at the moment.

A town about to be abandoned by the lord, a group of combat-useless, scattered civilians, a group of invaders armed to the teeth, the fate of this Cedar Town seems to have been sealed for a long time.
