prince of europe in quintiles

Should we go back too?Huo Teng's youngest wife, Jones, is about to reach her due date.

Although I keep reminding myself in my heart, it's not over, it's not over yet.

After all, Huo Teng had won two games in a row. The second battle of hearts broke out suddenly when our side was at a disadvantage, and ended in an unexpected way. It was hard for Huo Teng not to feel complacent.

Facing a huge principality dozens of times his size and a giant that has dominated the north for decades, although Huo Teng had exhausted countless financial and material resources and put all the chips he could over it into, Huo Teng had to go The walking was difficult, like walking on shaved ice, but it was relatively smooth.

While inspecting the camp, Greb, an old subordinate, sneaked over and said, "Boss, let's get the supplies out first! There is no road by the river, and our supplies have been piling up for so long, so hurry up and evacuate to Castle Notheim." Here, hold a lively victory ceremony, and send out invitations to the surrounding places, let's make a big show of our prestige!"

"Why, you want to enjoy it before you completely win?" Huo Teng didn't feel that Greb was too ostentatious, but habitually wanted to suppress this atmosphere.

"Hehe...not..." Grayb rubbed his hair and said with a playful smile, "It's not you...you need to spread your reputation. You think we can show our faces."

Huo Teng could see that Greb was trying to accumulate fame and work hard for himself to obtain the fief in the future.

Now it is only the eve of the heyday of the Middle Ages, and it is far from the time when the order of the feudal aristocracy is strong and ordinary people cannot break through.It took only half a year for Huo Teng to become an earl from a monk, and Conrad went from being the eldest son of a wealthy family to being elected king in just one thought.

"Okay, you go and make preparations. First, send a batch of livestock to bring food back. It's true that it's not safe by the river, so go ahead."

It was inconvenient to dismiss Greb's face, so Huo Teng temporarily allowed Greb's return plan.

In fact, Greb also mentioned this.He didn't pay special attention to allocating supplies, but only assigned two captains, and dozens of people escorted the ox cart to Northheim slowly.

Just on the way back, I ran into a wave of cavaliers head-on from south to north.

"Grebe?"

The leading knight, wearing a black and white sword-wielding angel robe, was clearly a member of the Bowenden family.Taking a closer look, it turned out that the leader was a female knight.She has long chestnut curly hair, a handsome appearance, and a pair of beautiful eyes flickering, smart and beautiful.

Grab was terrified at the sight of her.

This woman is Brother Huo Teng, Schneider's widow Amelia who died in the war.

Although many people are discussing in private, saying that if they can marry Amelia, Huo Teng's father, Old Madi, has already let everyone know that no one should think of a way to get this widow's idea.

In order to maintain the continuation of the Bowendeng family, old Madi openly declared that Bowendeng Village and Amelia will definitely belong to Huo Teng in the end, and no one should get involved.

As for Amelia, she was also very disappointing, and became a woman who liked to fight and kill, which disappointed all the knights.

"Mistress, do you... have a happy event?" Greb cautiously probed.

Amelia has always been stationed near the Free City of Göttingen.If she went north temporarily, there was only one possibility, and that was that Jones gave birth.

In October of pregnancy, Huo Teng's first child was finally born.

"It's a good thing, but it's not the time to announce it yet." Amelia raised her hair, and although she didn't reveal the real situation, she still asked responsibly, "What are you doing? Driving back in a bullock cart?"

"I, it's like this..." Greb told Amelia exactly what his request was.

Naturally, in his explanation, he beautified himself a lot.

But Amelia has already seen through Greb. This veteran's cautious thoughts cannot be concealed from others, and he will show everything on his face.

"Let me take charge of this matter. Just don't disturb our family Huo Teng."

Amelia, who is thrifty and thrifty, sees through Greb's careful thinking, but is afraid that this old fried dough stick will sell the food secretly.There are many problems with veterans, and Amelia does not allow any moth to steal her family's wealth.So she stopped and personally supervised the operation of the grain.

Greb could only sigh to himself that he was unlucky, turned around and left.

Amelia is a woman known throughout the territory and the entire army, Huo Teng's sister-in-law, so no one dared to disobey her order, coupled with Grebe's evidence, so it was originally an order to transport a small batch of food, It turned into walking back together with food, ordnance, etc., basically no discount.

Since the food and supplies are returning, the manpower is naturally returning freely, and we will go back to the city of Nottheim together and find a place to live first.

Huo Teng has been soaking near the sentry post to supervise the old Bernard, but he didn't notice that the camp behind him was being moved by ants, bit by bit under Amelia's supervision, not a single grain of wheat was left.

In the evening, it was time to change shifts.

Huo Teng relaxed, and just sat in the tent, but found that there was no dinner that should have been prepared for him.

"Guard, what's the matter? Where's my supper?"

The Earl lost his temper and called the guards to question him.

The young guard was particularly aggrieved. Just when he was about to say something, Amelia lifted the curtain and said, "What else are you eating? Didn't you tell the camp to be moved back to Notreim Castle? I followed your instructions." Order, I have moved most of the supplies in one day, you must not reward me?"

The appearance of Amelia surprised Huo Teng.

Seeing his sister-in-law sitting down comfortably and looking at him with a smile on her face, Huo Teng was indescribably dazed.

Sister, if you take all the food away, I will have to send people to bring food from the castle every day in the future?

Huo Teng never expected that he just casually arranged a small matter for Greb to prepare, but there were layers of distortions, and to Amelia's ears, it was a big move.

"I……"

The Earl, who was about to continue losing his temper, didn't have time to get angry, but the guard outside the door shouted in panic and fear: "It's not good! The enemy... the enemy is out!"

Huo Teng hurriedly pulled up Amelia's arm in shock: "Run, run on horseback!"

Unexpectedly, Huo Teng ran to the observation deck of the camp without any mental preparation, and saw a group of majestic sea dragons dispatched, the earth trembled and the mountains swayed across the Rumo River, and then there were thousands of strong knights, regardless of death When rushing across the river dangerously on a floating reed bag, he was thinking about hell and heaven.

The good news is that a small order that I didn't expect at all saved the whole battle situation!

Bernard's crazy attack was completely beyond Huo Teng's expectation.Doesn't he have no food and is hungry?

Taking advantage of Huo Teng's army changing defenses, using this extremely small time difference to break through Huo Teng's defense line, Bernard's military art can be said to be ruthless.

Can Huo Teng's army turn defeat into victory at this moment when they are hit to the death spot?

At least he himself has no confidence.

If Bernard was allowed to get the food in the army granary, then Huo Teng could go home directly and live in a monastery, preparing to continue to eat fast and chant scriptures for the rest of his life.

Therefore, Amelia's stinginess saved the battle!

But sadly, the defense line of the Rumer River has been breached. Can the small Nottheim Castle withstand the attack of the sea dragon war behemoth?

"It's too late, order all of us to retreat quickly. We don't want the food, clothes, and tents that are left, and abandon them all! Guards, take the Earl to escape...turn in!"

Amelia saw this formation and knew that her side was unable to defend.She hurriedly helped Huo Teng, and fled south on horseback under the protection of the guards.

After Huo Teng got on his horse in embarrassment, he looked around and found that there were less than half of the people left in the big camp, and the rest were looking for a house in Notheim. The horse-drawn carts and ox carts fled south.He couldn't help hugging Amelia, kissed her on the lips, and couldn't help saying, "Good sister-in-law, you are really my lucky star!"

Amelia didn't even have time to be shy, and rode the same horse with Huo Teng, escaped from the camp at the Rumer River, and rushed to Nottheim.

Leave it to Bernard of the desperate assault, a camp with empty warehouses.

Chapter 170 The fifth man-eating demon

Huo Teng didn't remember who said that the army with the best team is not necessarily the strongest when attacking, but the army that retreats in an orderly manner must be invincible.

Unfortunately, Huo Teng is only talking on paper.

When Bernard's army crossed the Rumer River with a determination to die, or rather fear of Bernard himself, and broke through the blockade of Horten's River Fork sentry amidst the waves, the remaining half of the Horten camp The manpower has already abandoned everything in a panic, running at extreme speed on the barren farmland in winter.

When they were suddenly attacked for no reason, they collapsed instantly.

When Huo Teng and Amelia rode together and fled to Northheim with the guards, he also knew that his fast escape would leave a very bad impression on these soldiers running on foot.

But it's already like this, is it possible that Huo Teng will stay and fight against the Saxon army with the soldiers?

At this moment, another big problem that Huo Teng has not thought of is that the people in the ten miles and eight villages have already pricked up their ears. Once the Saxon army crosses the Rumer River, they will immediately push the animals and carts, and take their families with them. The pigs, chickens, ducks, and silly sons ran wildly to Northeim.

There are so many people, almost no one will stay at home.

It is said that there are more than 1000 people in Nottheim, but as far as Horten can see, at least 3000 people are running on the fields.Most of the people on the outskirts fled to the forests and hillsides, but a few went straight to the castle.

Running to the gate of the castle, Huo Teng's subordinates blocked the gate with an extremely bad attitude, not allowing anyone to close the gate, just to ensure Huo Teng's safe return.

Caron caught a man on the side of the road. He was wearing notation, and in this cold November, he was wearing a summer linen jacket and trousers, but he stuffed a lot of weeds and chicken feathers to keep him warm.

"My... Lord Earl! We must run away! People from all over the side say that the Saxon army... is eating people! They are catching poor people nearby and stuffing them into secret mills. They all They said they were going to grind noodles, but why didn’t anyone come back? Some people went to see it, and it was all blood oozing from the bottom. We panic during the day and can’t sleep at night, and this is what we’ve been waiting for.” The man frightened His legs trembled like sifting chaff, but his words frightened the hearts of all the people around him.

eat human!

To be honest, the recent life is too rich, you can eat wheat cakes and throw one away, one fermented and one dead cake, so that Huo Teng almost forgot that this is a world where food is extremely scarce.The people are hungry, and the harvest of the whole year may be eaten up in half a year. In the second half of the year, they rely on wild vegetables and livestock to make ends meet.

But the fact that all the Saxon troops were eating people shocked Huo Teng to re-understand the status quo.

The enemy would rather run out of food and eat people than retreat, and fight to the end with the people of Göttingen.

Could the Romans do it?

Can the Arabs do it?

They can't.But the Saxons really can.

This primitive barbaric spirit, the will to achieve goals by any means, may be the instinct that Huo Teng once forgot.

It turns out that it is easy to forget hunger and become weak after eating a full stomach.

"My mother, cannibal?! Hurry up, gather the people into the castle!" In this dark moment of silence, Amelia, who was stingy, was afraid that these people would be caught and eaten by the Saxons, so she hurriedly ignored the castle. The current situation of being overcrowded still strives to protect the people.

Maybe she doesn't sympathize with these poor people, maybe she just thinks that the people are tools for producing wealth, but her decision showed the benevolence of the Bowendeng family in the result.

Huo Teng suddenly woke up like a dream.

That's right, if you don't hurry to protect the people at this time, are you still planning to give up on them?

The enemy has already eaten people in order to defeat him, so Huo Teng must have the determination to fight the Saxons to the end.

That is to occupy the position of benevolence first.

The more unscrupulous they are like beasts, the more Huo Teng will take the opposite path, and not miss any opportunity to promote his reputation for benevolence.

Huo Teng's family is not high, and has nothing to do with the all-important Emperor Otto.

Without the attributes of Emperor Otto's subordinates, he is bound to be criticized as a poor family.Huo Teng can only rely on kindness and reputation to build himself up.

No matter how one acts, fame has many benefits.

And there is another advantage, that is to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and not let the food be left to the Saxons.

eat human?

I hide everyone, you eat wood and grass, can you beat the people of Göttingen who eat bread every day?

"That's right, bring in all the people, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks. Does anyone know if there is a well in this city?" Huo Teng immediately ordered the gates to be opened to let people go, and no grain could be left in the wilderness.

When leaving the camp, Huo Teng took the opportunity to set a fire, trying to burn all the remaining supplies.

"some."

In the crowd, Earl Imdine, who had no sense of existence, said in panic, "We have a deep well, and it must be enough to drill dozens of feet... definitely enough!"

Imdin was also terrified to death.

He did feel that the opportunity had come after he found out that Huo Teng's army had fled for no reason, but the news of the Saxon cannibalism interrupted his delusion again.

God, what if they ate the populace of Notreim?

The battlefield was ruthless, but Nottheim suddenly became a haven of warmth, gathering [-] troops, hundreds of horses, and nearly a thousand people, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks.

squeeze.A small castle, packed to the brim.The people held hands and hugged their livestock, and seemed to have difficulty even moving.The soldiers didn't panic. In order to give the horses room to move, most of the soldiers simply lived on the city wall.Most people sit in the open air, because even the space to lie down seems stingy.

In a few days, the place will become an open-air latrine where human and livestock waste accumulates.If it rains at this time, I am afraid that it is infinitely close to the real picture represented by the image of "sewer soaking in rain".

Huo Teng no longer complained about the small playground in the school. If the castle was as big as the playground, there would be no need for such embarrassment now.

During the two-hour rescue, Huo Teng continuously sent cavalry to the village to collect the remaining people, which was also recorded in the files by the monks in the local monastery.

The old monk cried out in sorrow and wrote pen and ink in pain.

[On November 11th, the Saxon army summoned demons at the cost of cannibalism and broke through the defense line of the righteous Earl Horten of Göttingen. shelter.O God, send down your roar, and slay the army of man-eating demons.But please don't let the showers fall, the cold winter nights can't stand the attack of ice picks. 】

Chapter 170 Six Shameless Realm

The remnant stars with flames extinguished were silent on the scorched and tattered tent under the splash of the river water, just like the moon overlooking all the mortals in the sky at dusk.

A pair of muddy and rotten boots stained with drinking water, trampled on the small pool where the water flows between the tent and the broken wood, and the water drops from the man's cloak also merged with the muddy dirty water , as if to symbolize the fusion of filth and purity.

The old Duke Bernard, whose bloodshot eyes were about to burst out, had half a beard and white hair. Although his waist was still strong, his sad and sad back suddenly bent, and he was temporarily set on fire by Huo Teng. In his granary, he dug out a handful of toasted but not completely carbonized wheat, and stuffed it into his mouth with nothing left.

He chewed vigorously, as if what he ate was not wheat, but Huo Teng's blood and flesh.

It wasn't until he greedily swallowed the burning wheat that Old Bernard slowly said: "Good boy, you can run so fast that you can dodge faster than those dirty mice and bats."

Behind him, countless Saxon troops were slowly passing through the temporarily built bridge, crossing the river fork barrier, and entering Horten's camp.

The only fly in the ointment is that Huo Teng, the grandson, had to throw a fire into the camp when he ran by himself, burning down many tents and granaries, and he would also take away small merchants, acrobatic troupes and prostitutes in the military camp. , so that the gentlemen of the Saxony army have neither to eat nor to play.
