It was a small courtyard, with only two rooms and a gatehouse, and the two of them hurried into the main room in the middle of the courtyard after entering the courtyard.

After entering the door, the woman in front took off her cloak, revealing her full appearance, this is a young woman of about twenty-five or sixteen, melon seed face, pointed chin, with delicate skin and silky hair, and her haggard face gives her a morbid beauty. The girl in her arms was also pale, and the thin arms and legs of the little girl seemed to have no weight in the woman's hands, and she seemed to be sick, and there was an unnatural flush on her cheeks.

"Miss, young master, he still rejected us. The man in the cloak behind also revealed his true face, an old man of fifty or sixty years old, with a wrinkled face, who seemed to be the woman's servant.

"Alas, he himself is unable to protect himself, how can he be willing to send troops to escort my mother and son. The beautiful woman said, "Rafite, go and serve Christine a bowl of soup." The woman gently touched the little girl's head, placed her on the chair beside her, and commanded the maid who had just entered the door behind her.

"Miss, there is almost no food left at home. The little maid said with a crisp bow. When the woman heard this, she was surprised and asked, "Didn't I just pawn my earrings and bracelets, and don't you have enough money for these two meals?"

"Madam, the price of food in the city has risen again, and it is difficult to buy things if you have money. Raffi explained in a low voice.

"Forget it, you can last as long as you want, it's really not good......" The woman touched the sapphire necklace around her neck, which was her last piece of jewelry, and the most precious one.

The maid was ordered to go down and serve soup to the little girl, a bowl of unpretentious noodle soup was the only food in the house, and the woman and the two servants did not eat, and they (they) could stand up, but the sick little girl could not stand it. The two servants seemed to be strict family guards, and although they did not eat, they did not show anything, and the old servant consciously went to the porter to keep vigil, and the maid also went back to the room to rest at the woman's signal.

The woman took the spoon and carefully fed the little girl, and the little girl sat on the chair obediently, not noisy or noisy, but just drank the soup fed by the woman, and the little girl squinted and drank slowly, as if enjoying something delicious. "Sister-in-law, you drink too. The little girl's voice was very glutinous, probably because of her illness, and her little face was slightly red, revealing a sense of cuteness.

"My aunt has drunk it, and little Christine has drunk it, so I will get sick quickly. The woman looked kind.

"Yes, hurry!" the little girl nodded heavily.

"Auntie also drinks~" At night, the voice of the little girl came.

This woman's name is Grace, not an ordinary woman, she is the daughter of a marquis, and she is also a famous beauty in the kingdom of Charlotte, his father is Marquis Philip, one of the three marquis of Charlotte, as the marquis's beloved daughter is the pearl of the imperial capital and the flower of the kingdom.

But at this time, she is just an ordinary woman, a woman who is about to reach a desperate situation.

Grace comforted the little girl to sleep after feeding Christine, because the money she brought was spent, she couldn't take the little girl to the doctor, not to mention that if you have money, you may not be able to find a doctor now, doctors will be forced to enlist in the army in wartime, Charlotte is now in the realm of the kingdom's survival crisis, and the doctor is probably only in the hands of those lords with heavy troops, such as her younger brother, the current lord of Frans City, Willis.

Grace took care of the little girl and fell asleep in bed, and sat quietly on the edge of the bed, it was a cloudy night, there was no moonlight, it was pitch black, and it was like her heart was clouded. She couldn't help but think of her father, the famous Marquis Philip.

Charlot has a total of three provinces, corresponding to three marquises, namely Marquis Philip, Marquis Campbell, Marquis Clark, the three marquis sit in the three provinces to defend the kingdom, so far there are only two marquis left in the kingdom, Marquis Clark died in a bloody battle with the enemy in Gordon Heights, Marquis Philip and Marquis Campbell are now ordered by the king to garrison the city of Entre and Ellis to defend the royal capital.

That night a month ago, her father summoned her to meet her and told her to pack her belongings and take her eldest brother's daughter to her younger brother Willis. "The kingdom is at the time of life and death this time" The once high-spirited Marquis Philip is now just a bad old man with white hair, "You quickly take Christine to find your brother Willis, his territory is very close to the Murphy Forest, you ask him to borrow troops to protect you across the Morpheux Forest to the Karaman Kingdom opposite, I also have some manors over there, you can go there without worrying about food and clothing in the future." Marquis Philip's admonition is still vivid, "Remember, don't come back, the royal family is now staring at the people of our family and not letting them escape, the men in the family have no chance, only you and Christine are allowed to leave, you have to live, for the blood of the Philip family!"

Grace took Christine to his younger brother, who had always been ignored, under the protection of more than a dozen guards. Perhaps because he received too much cold treatment and contempt when he was a child, his younger brother, born to his father and a maid in the family, did not have a good impression of himself and Christine who came to defect, and even transferred his own guards to defend the city, but after arranging a few of them in a courtyard, he no longer cared about them.

"Willis is a property that wants to cross the map of the Murphy Forest and the estate of the Karaman Kingdom. As a famous courtesan in the royal capital, Grace can certainly find out his brother's intentions, and there is nothing wrong with everyone leaving together at that time, but his attitude seems to want to leave the two of them alone.

Fortunately, there are many people in the army in the city who know her, the daughter of the head of the family, and Willis does not dare to be blatant, so he can only adopt this method of house arrest.

Little Christine fell asleep quietly, Grace covered her with the quilt, and lay down beside her, but she couldn't sleep, she hadn't eaten with her maid Rafite and the butler for a day, and she had only stolen two pastries today when she met her brother at noon in the city lord's mansion, and Willis was going to force them into a desperate situation.

Just as Grace forced herself to fall asleep to escape her hunger, there was a commotion and cries outside. And it intensified, as if the city was in chaos all at once. "What's going on?" Grace opened the door and looked out.

"Miss, it's not good, the army of the Kingdom of Forstan is besieging the city!" the frightened voice of the old butler came, "No, let's go quickly, while the city has not yet been completely surrounded." The old butler hurriedly urged.

Grace immediately went back to her room, picked up Christine, who had not yet woken up, and fled with the old butler and the maid with the crowd, this place was inhabited by rich and noble people, and it was at least right to follow these people to escape. It's too late, so they can only fight to the death, the old housekeeper and the maid are both cultivated and vindictive, and I hope they can take them out of the Murphy Forest.

Outside the city, Baron Kaidozi and Baron Kashr sat around the campfire, seemingly roasting a pheasant, "This guy was caught by my bodyguard Harvey, Baron Kaidozi, you are blessed tonight." Baron Kashr said with a smile.

"It's an honor to be able to eat something baked by Baron Kashre. Baron Kaidozi said modestly.

The soldiers around the two marched quickly, and they had already discussed it on the road before, and they still used the previous method, surround three and lack one, Baron Kaidozi blocked one city gate, Baron Kashel blocked two city gates, and vacated one city gate, leaving a way for Frans City to retreat.

The reason why this was done was to prevent the city of Frans from fighting against the water, and to give them a hope, they would not leave all their forces to fight with them, and the gate that stayed was not so easy to run, Baron Kaidozi's cavalry squadron stayed at that gate and waited for them, and the task of the cavalry squadron was to intercept the fleeing merchants and nobles, these people were fat, and the Will knights with high-ranking knight attendants were stationed, and both of them were very relieved.

By the time the pheasants on the bonfire were roasted, the siege was over, and nearly a thousand soldiers had made two circles around the small city, and even the northern gate, which gave way to the city of France, was garrisoned by a squadron of Baron Kashre.

All the soldiers were replenished with food and maintained their spirits under the orders of their respective commanders, and the siege was not attacked tonight, mainly to overwhelm the resistance of the Charlottes, and the troops marched for a day, and they also needed to be adjusted, and everyone received the news that the siege would begin in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Locke is now in the West City Gate, this is their battalion responsible for attacking the Encheng Gate, I don't know what deal the Baron and the Baron of Kashr have, in short, which one will attack the city first, the squadron in the most advanced city will be richly rewarded.

Tomorrow, the third squadron will first test the siege and check the defensive strength of this city gate, and then the first and second squadrons will go together, this is the main event, and it will generally be finalized, this is just a small city, and the cities that have been won before have done so, and their squadron is on the third batch, mainly to clean up the mess.

Tomorrow's mission seems to be easier than others, Locke breathes a sigh of relief, to be honest, although he has been a soldier for four years and has seen blood and fire many times, Locke still has a great awe of death. Being able to get the least dangerous mission, although there is little oil and water, Locke is also very satisfied, and there is hope for him to live.
