479 Self-inflicted humiliation (4)
At the end of the street, a small emerald green manor came into view, the white marble arches were crawling with verdant vines, the doorway was a few withered purple fir pines, and some yellow-brown lilac trees in the corners, and grass sprang out of the walls, and in the middle of the emerald green lawn, a small quadrangular mansion made of marble came into view.
In front of it is a long turquoise blue pool, with graceful straight lines with a pleasing beauty, a simple and bright white frame that makes people feel elegant from the heart, and the sky blue pool water is like the tooth white of the villa to form a dreamlike picture.
"I really miss it, I haven't been back here for 8 years, my father was very busy when I was a child, and I spent most of my time at my uncle's place, because this place is so beautiful, like a dream that never wants to wake up" Looking at the familiar scenery in front of her, Nilai, who was not in good spirits, suddenly perked up, and looked around in confusion,
This beautiful and bleak little courtyard is the new mansion of the Berndt family, which was originally the residence of a vassal branch of the Berndt family, and it can be seen from the location how miserable the current status of the Berndt family is
"Really?"
Hearing the bell at the door, after a while, a middle-aged man with staggering footsteps walked out of the courtyard, followed by two elderly old servants, although they were still wearing aristocratic clothes covered with gorgeous silk threads, but from the tarnished vegetable yellow face and lonely figure, it can be known that the current situation of the Berndt family is not optimistic
"Uncle Oleg, it's me, Nilai" Nilai happily poked her head out of the carriage and waved to the middle-aged nobleman with a puzzled look outside
Miss Lai, it's great that you're here" The butler Oleg was almost exclaimed in excitement in his heart, his listless face suddenly turned colorful, and he hurriedly reported to the servants behind him,
"Nilai, is Nilai coming?" Soon, from the deserted courtyard just now, an old woman wearing a noble cloud-sleeved long skirt walked out surrounded by several old maids
"Uncle, it's me, I'm Nilai" Nilai rushed over, like a milk swallow throwing into the arms of the old lady, her voice was desolate like a cry, at the invitation of the Duchess of Berndt, Nilai took the fat man's hand and followed the back of the crowd, the door along the road was cold, and I couldn't see the group of servants that a great nobleman should have,
Beside the winding forest path in the courtyard, except for some old servants who have followed for many years, there is hardly anyone to see, not to mention the prosperous scene where guests gather during banquets in the past.
Who would have believed that the Berndt family, who were the masters of Hutu Beien, were quickly defeated to such a point a month after the death of Duke Bernt, this is a cruel and turbulent era,
There are soaring heroes like fat people, but more of them are losers like Duke Berndt, who have been eliminated by the times
Their situation is the epitome of this era, the fat man sighed secretly, fortunately, most of the nobles of Vekia, under their own deliberate cultivation and conquest expansion, gradually transformed into new business aristocrats, otherwise, such a scene would make the fat man feel guilty
"This is the Marquis of Vicsexton mentioned in my letter," said Nella and the fat man as they sat down in the hall, and Nelley introduced to the Duchess of Berndt,
The Duchess nodded, and then took Nilai's hand and chatted, when she heard Nilai tell her that Husavis in the north and the murderer of her husband had been killed on the spot by the fat man, Duchess Berndt's face was already uncontrollable with excitement, and big tears flowed from her eyes
"I've heard about the transfer of Kyoto this time," Nilai said to the Duchess, "Vicsetton has built a new manor mansion for the Berndt family in Wake New Town, and my aunt can move there at any time if she wants, so as not to suffer from the idleness of that Sufedo."
"Your kindness has been received," Duchess Berndt's face was moved, and she looked at the row of freshly sprouted flower clusters outside the door in a daze, and said, "I have lived in Hutu Beien all my life, and I don't want to go anywhere else.
This city is the brainchild of your uncle, and looking at the plants and trees here, I feel like seeing your uncle again, and he always likes to play with these flowers and plants."
"Actually, the life I have been living now is the life I have wanted for a long time," the Duchess smiled indifferently at the corner of her mouth,
His eyes were blurred, and he seemed to recall something, "Isn't it a good thing to be able to come here without false noise and without a mask, all of them are true friends of the Berndt family, and to be able to see your sincere smiles".
"Where's Bernlake?" Nilai looked left and right, and said with a puzzled expression, "Shouldn't he finish his training to be promoted to the Knight of Mamunuk in April this year, why hasn't he come back now, if he is here, Kyoto will not treat the Berndt family like this"
"Mamunuk's knight?" The fat man next to him was stunned when he heard it, and it was too strange to dare that there was an heir of the Berndt family who was left in Kyoto, and it was still a Mamunuk
Conspiracy? or coincidence?
Although the fat man can't look down on Mamunuk, who is full of useless decorations, he also has to admit that Mamunuk's supreme position in the hearts of Salander's people,
These elite knight groups composed of the children of the aristocratic class, under the influence of the Salander people's natural free and romantic complex, these horsemen who traveled in all directions to punish the evil Mamunuk, in the hearts of ordinary Salanders, are the embodiment of heroes and the idols in the hearts of Salander girls
Most of them were handsome and dashing young aristocratic children, with noble status, riding war horses decorated with silver glittering vests, and the armor on their bodies was as exaggerated as they were, and they wanted to dress themselves up as the legendary heroic god of war.
Although their combat effectiveness is not very good, they are extremely brave in battle, and even in the face of a powerful enemy, they have no concept of retreating.
Of course, according to the logic of the fat man, this is a large collection of stupid X who lack the most basic discipline, 10 Samour guards may not win 10 Mamunuk, but if it is 100 guards, it can definitely easily defeat 150 Mamunuk, the real battlefield is not the playground of these noble children who are full of romantic heroism and want to show off, it is a contest of iron discipline
No matter how good the commander is, he will have a headache when he encounters these guys who don't listen to the command, but these guys are still the heroes in the hearts of the people and the soul of the Salander army
These arrogant guys can never understand that what an army needs most is discipline, and then passion and blood, and if these most basic elements are lacking, the more brave the warrior, the greater the losses to their own people,
Facts have proved that the Salander Kingdom lost several general battles with the Normandians in the south, and the Mamunuk cavalry acted without authorization, as the most elite troops of the Salander Kingdom, their arbitrariness and indiscipline made the Salander Kingdom pay a lot of price,
Now the fat man deeply mourns for the commander of the Salanders,
In front are the most vicious Normans, and in the back there is such a group of self-righteous uncles to serve,
The fat man even thought that this time Kyoto spared no expense and sent so many Mamunuk, simply because these guys were too destructive, and it was better to send them outside to scourge than to stay in Kyoto
Sure enough, the Duchess's words confirmed the fat man's judgment
"In order to resist the attack of the aliens, Kyoto has assigned all the Mamunuks to the territory outside the capital," the duchess said with a slightly dark face, "Bernleke has not returned to the territory, and he has been assigned to the central county of Kuronze, and in the current situation of lack of information in the north, he may not know the news that his father has been killed in battle."
"These bastards, they are premeditated," Nilai stood up with an indignant expression and said, "Kuronze is only 2 days away from Hutu Beien, and they are obviously deliberately blocking the news of their uncle's death."
"Forget it, what if Burnlake comes back" The Duchess shook her head with a desolate look and said, "As a recent graduate Mamunuk, he must serve in the army for two years, otherwise, he will be deprived of his noble status, and now those people in the city are eager to let the Berndt family completely disappear from the city, and if they lose their noble status, the Berndt family will be completely hopeless."
"I'll send someone to Kuronze," Nellai's voice paused, "no matter what, I'll also bring Byrnelake back, as for the so-called nobility, to hell with it, what is needed most now is for the Berndt family to get back on their feet, so that those snobs can see, behind the Berndt family, there are still Vic and Lazar Collars"
Coming out of the Berndt family mansion,
Several Samor guards, escorting the fat man's carriage, turned to the gravel road of Hutu Beon Castle, the winding mountain road, like a long coiled snake, circling around the protruding hill,
The carriage stopped halfway up the mountain,
Looking at the uneven houses and streets at the foot of the mountain, densely crowded together, although bathed in the scorching sun at noon, it still looks lonely and dark.
The fat man looked out of the carriage window, and Nilai with a sad face said with a solemn expression, "Don't worry, the Berndt family will be the real masters of Hutu Beien, I can assure you"
From the Duchess's tone, the fat man could feel the hidden anger of this family, just like the city, waiting for an outbreak in silence, what was needed was just a fuse, and this was what he was best at
"Wait, I'll make Hutu Bei'en a nightmare for Saland's Kyoto" The fat man patted Nilai on the shoulder
"Your Excellency, I have just received news that the fleet of the Hulin tribe has blocked the port of Hutu Beien" A captain of the guard next to him rode his horse from the front and reported from the side of the carriage, "Lord Statunko, the governor of the South, has accompanied Miss Mao Mon Naqing into Hutu Beien."
