Chapter 12: Clash of Lords
Bridget didn't know why he went to the mass grave first, and the reason why he went directly to this place was because he already had an ominous premonition in his heart, and his little daughter was probably already in trouble.
The housekeeper is looking for it with Baya, so if Baya lies, the housekeeper is afraid that the chance of being deceived will be greater, no matter whether Baya is telling the truth or a lie, it is necessary for him to plan for the worst, first make sure that his daughter is alive is more important than anything else, if it is true...... Bridget didn't dare to think about it anymore, but kept urging his subordinates to speed up and speed up.
The so-called mass grave is not a specific address, but a general term, each lord's territory is not small, plus the situation in the Kotler Empire has been in turmoil, there are many dead, people who have no money or have no identity themselves will be thrown directly into the mass grave to dig a pit and throw it in casually.
Of course, some people's deaths are not normal, and they will be dealt with if they die unexpectedly, and even if they have an identity, they can't escape the consequences of being hastily buried.
Bridget didn't believe Baya, since he dared to drug his daughter, then he could be ruthless to some people, what kind of person could keep secrets the most, the two lords were surprisingly consistent in this regard.
There were many mass graves, and Bridget's team began to disperse along the main road, and the guards around Bridget were no less than fifty people from beginning to end, and by the time his men arrived, the defense force around him had exceeded a hundred.
He had to prevent Baya from going down on him, and in fact last night's banquet could have been a turning point in the relationship between the two of them, but it was clear that Baya didn't get it right, and instead made things worse.
In the early spring, the spring rain is endless, but today is a rare good day, but the sun on the head does not bring warmth, especially in the rancid graves, which are full of rancid smell, and the smell is really not very good, and it is naturally more disgusting to be in it.
Bridget covered his nose with a handkerchief, and then walked on the muddy road, and on both sides of the path were buried corpses, some of which were even only half buried, and the cold winter had passed, and the frozen corpses had begun to melt, although the temperature was not very high, but there were already signs of decay, and the smell could be smelled even through the handkerchief.
There was old brown soil all around, and there was no new soil, and Brigitte knew that it would definitely not be here anymore, so he went to the second place, and naturally found nothing, but the third mass grave was discovered, and several new graves were found on the edge of the cemetery, which were not very old!
It's a poor short time!!I'm afraid it was dug up this morning.
When Brigitte arrived, the subordinates were already standing quietly next to the new graves, although their faces were forceful, but Brigitte still waved his hand to let the same unhappy subordinates open the new graves, because they did not bring tools, so they could only use their swords to dig the graves first, but they were all with sheaths, although they were not sure, but Brigitte was still afraid that if they hurt the body, it would not be good.
There were a lot of people accompanying him, and everyone knew the meaning of the master in the distance, so they quickly dug out the people in the new tomb.
It turned out that the first grave could not tell what it was, for the man's face had been cut out of shape, and he was not clothed, but when the second grave had been dug open, one of the servants cried out, and the stick he had picked up fell to the ground, and he himself sat down backwards with a look of horror.
The servant's unusual reaction immediately caught the attention of the others, and when all eyes turned to the corpse in the tomb, several more servants in the lord's mansion were frightened by the corpse.
"What's going on?" Bridget was far away, only seeing the abnormality, and his heart couldn't help but sink, but he didn't expect the worst to come.
"My lord, this person is a subordinate of our house, and he ...... with the two young ladies yesterday," a servant who was quite bold checked it again and again before telling Bridget what he had seen.
"How did you die?" asked Bridget, whose face grew more and more gloomy, but still forced to suppress the anger in his heart, and the private army general beside him also went over to take a look, and could tell at a glance how the servant had died, because the large blood stain on the servant's chest had already revealed everything.
But this general gave a more accurate answer, "From the back to the front, through the knife wound, one blow is fatal, and our men are unprepared." "
Bridget nodded, and asked everyone to open the other graves, so they found the body of a servant in the house, and the strange thing is that in the other two graves, there were only corpses with their faces cut off but no clothes, in contrast, it can be found that the time of the two graves is about the same, and the traces are the same, the only difference is that the identity of the two corpses is not known.
But anyone with a little bit of a brain can figure it out that this shoddy method of trying to cover up is not very clever.
"Now it is certain that these people are the servants of the lord of Baya's mansion, but the corpses of the other servants are ......," the general said halfway, but Brigi had fully understood what he meant, the servants who came out with the two daughters were not only these two people, but also the other thing was that the butler did not explain it when he sent someone to report the news......
Bridget's face turned pale in an instant, a feeling of being surrounded by conspiracy made him feel suffocated, and his body couldn't help shaking, the generals around him supported him, with a look of concern, but Bridget didn't feel the slightest warmth.
If everything is really as you imagined, then you have fallen into a shocking conspiracy, and it is not a temporary kind.
If it weren't for the housekeeper to send someone back to report the news, I'm afraid that I would directly take my own private army to ask for the crime, the bizarre news of a daughter's disappearance did not attract Bridget's attention at first, since it was just a daughter missing, then find out, but what happened next was completely unexpected, and the conspiracy opened its minions from this time and held itself in it.
One daughter was drugged, and most of the other daughters also suffered accidents, but under the stubborn idea of seeing people alive and corpses dead, Brigitte had to send his own private army to find the whereabouts of his daughter, before that, he was worried about the safety of the housekeeper, but now it seems that this worry is superfluous, because the housekeeper who has been living in the house, his henchman has betrayed himself and walked with that hateful Baya!
Thinking about it further, Brigitte already knew Baya's ultimate goal, and first sent four waves of people back to report the news, the old lord's face flashed with cruelty, and he turned his head to the general and said, "Go to Baya's City Lord's Mansion!"
Baya's conspiracy is to annex his own territory, but he should know that the same is true of the two lords who are almost the same in terms of military strength, and it is very likely that he went to his own territory and occupied his lord's mansion, but since he wants to capture it, he must bring enough troops.
The cunning Baya must know that most of his troops are in his territory, as long as he creates a fact, then he can only admit it, but he Brigitte is not good at it, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!
In search of his daughter's whereabouts, Bridget immediately gathered all his troops and marched towards the castle lord's mansion in Baya.
Sure enough, the small city where Baya is located has closed the city gates, all the staff are on guard, swords, bows and crossbows are readily available, even if Brigitte himself goes out, he can't open the city gate, at this time it is getting late, and Brigi, who knows that the attack is hopeless, has no choice but to rest first, at least until the double moon rises before making plans.
The subordinates who were sent out have not replied to the letter so far, it must be more than lucky, and it is not impossible for Baya to use the housekeeper to deceive the city gate, but Brigitte knows that the discipline of his private army is quite strict, and it is estimated that there is no way to do it even if the housekeeper thinks of this.
It's good that Baya can't take his own small city, but if he doesn't take Baya's small city in a short time, then he won't get any benefit, thinking of this, Brigi is a little uneasy, he needs time to think about how to deal with the situation in front of him.
If Baya hasn't taken the small city now, then if he attacks at night, can he take him in reverse?
Just as he sat down to discuss the situation with his subordinates, he saw the general who had seen the way the corpse died during the day running in with a panicked face.
"My lord, it's not good, Baya is coming with his troops!"
Bridget's face changed greatly, and the old lord who stood up suddenly couldn't help but shake his body for a while, and when he came to his senses, his face turned from white to red, and he roared angrily: "Call me back!"
Because of the sudden change, Bridget's troops immediately became chaotic, but fortunately, because the sentinels found out in time, Bridget still had a little time to prepare, but when they lined up their formation, they found out how treacherous their opponents were!
There was a rain of arrows coming at the head, damn the Bayan army, they actually used archers as strikers!!
This unprecedented way of fighting made Bridge's private army, which had already lined up in formation, suffer heavy casualties in an instant, but the enemy was already approaching, and it would be even more chaotic to change the formation, so Bridget's chosen battle strategy was that the formation remained unchanged, but the entire formation had to be pressed up!
"What an old stubborn. On the hillside in the distance, Jesse watched with some disdain as Bridget's army began to slowly approach Baya's private army, and said in a contemptuous tone.
"My lord, this old man Brigitte has taken the bait, can Baya also do it?" A big man with an unusually burly body looked at Jesse with some excitement, and his face was eager to try.
"Go tell Mr. Twelve, let's do it!" Jesse nodded, and the big man was about to leave, but Jesse stopped him.
"My lord's meaning, Bridget wants to live!"
