Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 378: Ed Walker

"My lord, good morning." Several patrolling soldiers stood at attention and greeted Ed Walker. Ed Walker nodded at them and turned to the stairs to the roof.

This is the city of Pidro. Hundreds of years ago, an earl named Pidro built a fortress here to resist the looting of the grass-barbarian tribes, hoping to block the gap in the Piedero mountains into Winston. The grass barbarians ride in the province. Hundreds of years of wind and rain, this fortress was destroyed and built, built and destroyed. The huge stone steps covered with moss still left many sword marks and axe marks, and some rock foundations have been stained with blood from the past. After the rust color, it seems to be recounting those cruel offensive and defensive battles...

It was not until the establishment of the Christen Empire that a large plot of land was taken from the grass-barbarian tribes on the Northeast Prairie and the Muyeyuan Province was established. The Fortress of Pedero finally settled down and became Winston and Muye. Fortress checkpoint between the original provinces. As Windbury City has become the largest livestock trading center in the Northeast, the Pedro Fortress checkpoint has gradually become a must-pass for the herders of the Pastoral Province to go to Windbury City. Herdsmen who drive livestock stop here to stop and stop. , So many merchants took a fancy to the location here to open a trading point in Pidro City, and in this way, Pidro City slowly developed into a fortress city.

The struggle for the throne of the three kings and the seven-year civil war in the empire did not affect the peace of Pidro City, but the livestock market in Windbury City was abandoned due to the war, but it was a fatal blow to Pidro City. Apart from the herders who drove cattle and sheep to Windbury City to trade, the trade spots and quilted herder-friendly industries in Pedrow City lost their business and closed down one by one due to depression. When the second prince established the Iberian Kingdom, the squeezing tax on Pedro City accelerated the loss of businesses and residents. Especially in order to go to the Principality of Melaine, the Second Highness also transferred the last defensive team of Pedro City, almost giving up Pedro City.

Soon the city of Pidro became a retreat for deserters, horse bandits and robbers, a safe haven for lawlessness. Then Grand Duke Fesabrunn dispatched his family armed forces to wipe out the horse bandits because of the horse bandits looting the herdsmen in Muyeyuan Province, and put the city of Pidro under his jurisdiction. Compared with the incompetent and ignorant second prince, the Grand Duke Feisabrun takes Pedro City very seriously. He regards Pidro City as a strategic place to suppress the second prince and meet Windbury King City, and specifically orders himself Viscount Christophe, his major disciple, led two border ranger regiments stationed here.

Later, the Kenmes family built a chain bridge linking the Northland and Makino Plain in the eastern part of the Northland, so the Kenmes family territory in the eastern Northland went to Makino Plain, and then to the Eastern Desolation Province or Winston Province. Through these two trade routes, all kinds of goods produced by the Norton family in Northland passed through the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce hosted by the Earl of Kenmes (the Earl at that time) to reach the Fesabrunn family territory and Windbus. Liwangcheng is very popular. Pidro City also benefited a lot as a resting place for the caravan to go to Windbury King City, and finally restored some of the lively atmosphere of the past.

But then the Norton family in Northland sent troops to the King City of Windbury in order to avenge the second prince by sending the Carinan Great Swordsman to assassinate the Patriarch Lorist, and captured the second prince. Viscount Christopher, who was stationed in Pidro City, led two frontier ranger regiments to fight with the Norton family, but was defeated and captured. Although Archduke Fisabrun eliminated the enmity between the two families by customizing armaments and other friendly means, and redeemed Viscount Christopher and other captured soldiers of the Border Rangers from the Norton family, he has since been against allied soldiers. The four Beidi families became jealous.

It’s just that Archduke Fisabrunn did not expect the attacks from the four alliances of the Northland to be so sudden and violent. As a resident of the Fourth Border Rangers, Pedro City was in the Flying Tigers led by Tiger Ross. After a surprise attack, it was lost after only one night. As the Fourth Border Ranger was beaten by the Norton family’s Cavalry Regiment, they had to retreat to the east bank of the Sochus River, and the city of Pidro has begun to be rebuilt. A fortress with a tight defense system.

As the commander of the twenty-third battalion of guards, Ed Walker was very anxious at this time. Three days ago, the city of Pidro accommodated dozens of defeated soldiers from the Cavalry Regiment. They brought Ed Walker After a very shocking news, the Cavalry Hunting Corps was defeated. The soldiers said incoherently that they were all cavalry. They fought with these enemies all night, and finally separated from the large troops, so they had to run to Pedro City. Remember that the last command received is to break through, and to protrude is victory...

The most painful thing was that the 23rd Battalion of Guards did not deploy Xinying, so there was no way to pass the news up. After all, the cultivation of these faithful eagles is also very difficult. Basically, they take care of the main army and sea regiments in the field. One guard regiment, five regiments and twenty-five guard battalions, each regiment is allocated two heads to facilitate communication. The guards and corps still rely on messengers and messengers.

Although the city of Pidro has been captured for nearly six months, there are only three thousand family soldiers garrisoned by the 23rd Battalion of Guards, and more than 10,000 strong laborers are working on the construction of the castle fortress. In six months, only more than half of the scheduled project was completed. The only thing that made Ed Walker happy is that the completed half of the project was for Makinohara Province. In other words, when the grass barbarian cavalry attacked in large numbers, the soldiers of the 23rd Guards Battalion still had complete defense facilities to rely on.

After receiving the news of the defeat of the Cavalry Regiment in the report of the rout, Ed Walker immediately sent someone to the King City of Windbury to deliver the letter and ask for help. He had a strong premonition that the Fesabrunn family armed and the cavalry would soon Coming to attack the city of Pidro, thinking of the grass-barbarian cavalry who were out of sight by the soldiers, he didn't think that the three thousand guards under his command alone would be able to defend the city of Pidro. Reinforcement!

But the messenger who came back the next day brought him bad news. The commander of the legion, Baron Farrea, was not in Windbury. In the city, there were only Baron Camora and the acting lord appointed by Lorist, the family who had taken refuge before the war. Viscount Edith. After receiving the news from Ed Walker, Baron Camora instructed to defend the city of Pedro no matter what, but the city of Windbury had only one guard, the 21st Battalion, and the commander of the army, Baron Farrea. No, they can't transfer troops...

However, Baron Camora and Viscount Eddies still gave Ed Walker two hopes. Baron Camora promised to order them to reinforce the city of Pedro as soon as the five garrison battalions under his **** for the transport of materials returned. The 21st Battalion of Guards garrisoned in the Royal City can be assigned to maintain the city’s security, but Viscount Eddies, the acting lord of the city, decided to immediately summon the private soldiers and family armed forces from the traditional territories of Winston Province to help Pidro , But it takes time. It is estimated that Ed Walker will have to hold Pedro City for five or six days before the reinforcements arrive.

Baron Camora finally gave Ed Walker an idea, organized and armed the more than 10,000 strong laborers, and rushed to power. Now he can no longer care that the commander of the guard battalion, Ed Walker, did not recruit soldiers. Power, as long as he can hold Pedro City, what consequences Baron Camora is willing to bear. It is the most important key to know whether Pidro City can hold onto the family strategy.

Ed Walker did not hesitate to adopt Baron Camora’s suggestion and forcibly recruited more than 10,000 strong laborers as reserve soldiers. In the face of some unwilling to become soldiers, Ed Walker told them, Grand Duke Feisabrun This time he brought not only his family armaments, but also countless cavalry. Moreover, it is said that Fiesabrunn promised that these grass-barbarian cavalry could looting wildly after breaking the city, and that all the things they looted belonged to them.

That's it. Think about it, do you want to become the slaves of the savage or rise up to resist and protect your family in Winston from falling into the hands of the savage cavalry? It is necessary to know that being taken into captivity and becoming their slave is simply better than death. The experience of countless freed slaves in the past century has already well illustrated this point. If you die bravely as soldiers of our Norton family, you don't have to worry about the insecurity of your family's lives. All soldiers who sacrificed will receive generous pensions every month, enough for your family to live a happy and healthy life.

If you did not die on the battlefield, you will also receive generous rewards after victory. Whether you choose to retire or continue to serve as a soldier, you are free to choose. The Norton family never treats people who work for the family badly. Even if you are discharged from the army, the workshops in the family territory will give priority to recruiting you, whether it is the distribution of fields or houses, you will get priority. So think about it, even though you are going to go to the battlefield and face life and death struggles, this is also an opportunity for you, and it depends on whether you can go to the game. Ed Walker said.

All the elite laborers obeyed Ed Walker's call. This is a troubled time. Ed Walker is right. This is also an opportunity to grasp his own destiny and become a soldier of the Norton family. At least his family will get good Life is better than being captured by cavalry and being forced to become a siege cannon fodder. If you win and you survive a catastrophe, then a bright future is not a delusion. Almost all strong laborers think so.

With a team of ten thousand people on hand, Ed Walker was finally relieved. What only made him strange was that it had been three days, but the expected Armed Forces of the Fesabrunn family and the cavalry had not been seen for a long time. This allowed Ed Walker to win three crucial days, day and night, let the labor of more than 10,000 who had just become the reserve soldier of the family dug countless horse pits and more than ten depths in front of the city of Pedro. The different trenches serve as an obstacle for the defense of the cavalry to quickly attack.

"If the corps of the Flying Tiger Corps, the logistical battalion, the scout battalion, and the female battalion were still stationed here, it would also have a bottom line, at least there would be people who are more guilty than our officer..." Ed Walker leans on Thinking wildly on the fence of the rooftop. It is a pity that the Flying Tiger Corps was transferred to the front line of the Southern Province three months ago. Because the Flying Tiger Corps made great achievements in the field during the second offensive and defensive war in the Southern Province, its own casualties were also heavy, and it needed this logistics corps to supplement and take care of it.

At that time, the Cavalry Army was still galloping horizontally and horizontally in Muyeyuan Province, with great prestige. Although Pidro City is a strategically important place, the fortress city on the border of the two provinces has always been stable and peaceful. No one thought that in the past three months, the Cavalry Corps planted a big somersault in Makinohara Province, and even the city of Pidro is about to usher in a cruel attack and defense...

"Time flies, it's been ten years..." Ed Walker Nannan muttered to himself, looking at the large and chaotic land under the **** of Pidro City, but he was wondering how to defend. Pidro City felt a little uneasy.

This is the first time Ed Walker has faced a real battle, and it is also the first time he is responsible for commanding the 23rd Battalion of Guards to conduct a real defensive battle. This is not a daily training, nor an exercise, but a real one. Defensive operations.

Ed Walker clearly remembers the first time he saw Lorist ten years ago. At that time, he was just a small carpenter in the family castle manor. He was responsible for sawing wood, collecting sawdust and then giving it to his mother, the kitchen supervisor. He mixed the sawdust in flour and baked it into unpalatable brown bread and distributed it to the castle. The handyman in the manor. I remember that he once asked his mother why these sawdust were soaked in toast, and her mother only replied: "This is a family tradition."

At that time, the family was in the most difficult period. The eldest master died early in the battle, the third master also died, and the master died on the expedition. Although the master was the biological father of Ed Walker, he did not feel sad when he died. On the contrary, his mother cried very sadly. Then came the news that the Kenmes family next to the territory was in trouble. At that time, the viscount Kenmes led his family private soldiers and besieged the family castle and manor for nearly three months, and finally retreated without food.

At that time, people in the family castle manor were in panic, and there was no one who was the master of the house. The old Chief Kress dragged the sick body to support the family. I remember that at that time, Miss Baisha wanted to push the posthumous child left by the eldest master as the head of the house, but she met unanimous opposition. And the mothers of Morozinger and Willie Gesang, who are also the illegitimate children of the master, jumped out and said that the blood relationship is that the two of them are closer. They are both of the master's blood, and of course they can inherit the position of the head of the family.

At that time, his mother was unwilling to be lonely, saying that he was also eligible to inherit. Lovely Dworker knew very well in his heart that he was just the result of the master venting on his mother after drinking. At that time, the mother was still young and was the master's personal maid, but none of the seven or eight personal maids around the master had ever had **** with the master. Bed, my mother was appointed as the kitchen supervisor to compensate after giving birth to herself. But the mother seemed to love the master so much that she never remarried, unlike the mother of Morozinger and Willigsang and other maids who later married the servants in the castle manor.

It was at that time that Lorist came. Although he was exiled by the family, he is now back to inherit the family domain and the title. No one has any objections. I remember that the first day he took over the power of the family, Lorist learned a lot. The grumpy Miss Baisha asked herself what she saw every day? When I told him the whole story and explained that it was a family tradition, I heard Lorester say arrogantly. Then Ed Walker found out that he was unemployed~www.readwn.com~ He asked Lorist what he should do. Lorist looked at him and said that he should go to the family arm, work for the family, and live up to his Norton. Bloodline...

In these short ten years, the Norton family has soared into the sky. Thinking about the initial difficulties and the current development, Ed Walker is very fortunate that Lorist returned to be the master of the house, and he grew up from a kid who knew nothing. The family knight who is a two-star silver, carries the great surname of Norton in front of his name. Now Morozinger and Willigsang are the commanders of the garrison regiment in the remote Hanea Bada Islands, and they have become the commander of the 23rd Battalion of Guards.

Maybe he couldn't pass this level. Ed Walker looked at the angry bear flag flying over the city of Pidro, and his eyes began to firm up again. I am a descendant of the Norton family, and I swear to live up to the honor of the great surname Norton. As long as I stand here, the city of Pidro will not fall!

A wisp of black smoke rushing straight into the sky appeared on a hill in the Pespel Mountains in the distance. It was an alarm smoke that was lit by a scout sent by the Guards Battalion. It showed the meaning: An enemy is coming!

"Blow the trumpet, ring the bell to warn! Attention everyone, the enemy is coming!" Ed Walker shouted loudly.
