Huo Nan snatched a broadsword from the guards, he was not a little old man, but a real knight, the broadsword slapped over, Marina shrunk her neck, squeezed through the crowd and ran out, and ran out of a dozen steps in a blink of an eye, "Stinky old man, broken old man, you can chase if you have the ability!" ”

With Marina as a living treasure, it's hard not to laugh, Huo Nan's father and daughter acted in this play, and the rest of the people no longer felt how oppressive the atmosphere was. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Huo Nan threw away the broadsword in his hand and glared angrily, having such a daughter, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a tragedy. Marina fled back to her lodgings as if nothing had happened, and led her female soldiers to a new round of training. Not far away, Luo Weidenov and Royce stood side by side outside the fence, looking at the eldest lady's sassy and heroic posture for a long time, Royce smiled a little wryly, "Fortunately, I didn't directly agree to the marriage, and with Marina's temperament, I can't toss His Highness crazy." ”

"I can't say that, this eldest lady is not as simple as it seems, she looks like she has a bold personality and a big grin, but in fact she is like a mirror in her heart" Luo Weidenov has his own opinion, taking today's events as an example, it seems that Marina opposes Holnan's resolution, in fact, she has already accepted the reality in her heart, otherwise she would not have made a fuss and went back to her residence to train the army. Lalenk's matter is no secret, if Marina really carelessly behaves, it is estimated that she has already led the city patrol to Valenk Manor to take Lalenk's head at this time. The eldest lady seems to have no ink, but in fact she is very smart, but people know very well how important she is, and she will not venture outside the Varro Manor.

The eldest lady is actually a little witty, but her personality on the surface has confused many people. Luo Weidenov touched his chin and watched Marina train for a long time, "Although the marriage is dispensable, it is better to marry, the resources behind this eldest lady are rich enough, which is very beneficial to the empire's westward expansion strategy." ”

Lovednov and Royce pondered Marina's affairs, while inside the castle, Yakuta and Norrick sat in Khornan's study. It is not known what Lovednov said at the meeting, so Norrik waited for the others to leave, and then returned to the Varro estate. He and Holnan have a very good personal relationship, not only because of the family alliance, but more importantly, because they are from the same family, so compared to other nobles, the relationship between the two is much closer, "Hornan, what happened just now, let go of the city gate, it is obviously not good for us, why did you agree to Luo Weidenov?" ”

There are no outsiders here, the two have always called him by his name, and the two sides have long been used to it, and Yakuta is naturally not strange as a close confidant of Holnan. Pouring a little vermilion wine, Huo Nan smiled and said, "There are no outsiders now, it doesn't hurt to say it, according to Lord Luo Weide, there are two batches of reinforcements from Northern Lorraine, and a group of cavalry will arrive in Merlin City in the near future, so it is beneficial for us to open the city gate at this time." ”

Norrick put down his glass, reached out and knocked on his forehead, he still knew the situation in Northern Lorraine, when North and South Lorraine were called by the royal family, they barely managed to put together tens of thousands of red-capped knights, and after the battle of the Istrian heights, the red-capped knights suffered heavy losses. Although many people survived in North Lorraine, three thousand cavalry was already the limit of North Lorraine. It really makes people wonder how North Lorraine can form more cavalry? Noric had doubts in his heart, he was afraid that Luo Weidenov was using some tricks, Luo Weidenov was an outsider after all, although the Eastern Empire intended to absorb the Lorraine Kingdom, they would not send a single soldier. In the final analysis, even if Merlin City is in shambles, the Oriental people will not feel distressed, "Huo Nan, do you believe Luo Weide's words?" This person is scheming, we must guard against his scheming, you know, what will happen to Merlin City in the end, the impact on Luo Weidenov is not great, so, I suggest that Luo Weide be controlled in the next few days, in case of any accidents, we at least have some leverage. ”

Norrick also proceeded from the overall situation, considering the interests of the nobles of South Lorraine, Huo Nan shook his head with a wry smile, "It is estimated that it is difficult, people like Luo Weide are too smart, if we put him under house arrest, it is estimated that it will backfire." I also thought about the issue of reinforcements before, Luo Weide was so sure that the reinforcements would come, he must have confirmed the news in advance. Relying on the strength of North Lorraine, it will definitely not be able to take out more soldiers and horses, but with the help of the Orientals, it is different. From Hohenzollern and the Danube, the Easterners had completely taken over the kingdom of Saxony. The Kiev base camp also moved the council to the castle of Suprin, and after so many days, it is impossible for the Easterners not to know about the situation in the city of Merlin. In the Oriental way of doing things, it is impossible to say and do nothing. If the Easterners provided horses and ordnance, and Northern Lorraine provided soldiers, it would not be a problem to pull up a cavalry in a short time. After the Battle of the Eastern Crusade, the lords of Northern Lorraine had nearly 100 personal guards under their commands, and these people were equipped and climbed on their horses to be a cavalry. ”

Speaking of this, Huo Nan couldn't help but envy the wealth of the Orientals, and the resources in their hands were strong enough. The reason why the Easterners were able to defeat Kiporos in a short period of time and make the Holy Empire unpeaceful relied on the cavalry under their command. The Oriental people actually have nearly 50,000 cavalry under their command, which is terrible to think about, and raising such a group of cavalry is not just about having money. War horses, iron ore, all the same. The Kingdom of Lorraine is rich, but the iron ore is strictly guarded, and you can't buy it even if you have money. If it weren't for the need for Lothair and Dolle to have a knight order in the Kingdom of Lorraine to defend against the Franks in the west, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to pull up the red-capped knights. It seems that there are countless rich and noble people in the Kingdom of Lorraine, but in fact, they are all big fat sheep in the eyes of Haoqiang. Norrick knew that what Holnan said was very reasonable, but reason told him that the Orientals were not really so kind, "The Orientals came to Saxony like a flood of beasts, and they really didn't know whether it was good or bad for us." ”

"Norik, you sometimes just think too much, so it doesn't make sense, at least for now, it seems that befriending the Oriental is very beneficial to us" Hornan is a person who can afford to let go, the so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, and now all aspects have to rely on Luo Weidenov, if he is still under house arrest, it will definitely not have any good results. As he spoke, he felt that something was wrong, looked at Yakuta, and asked aloud, "What about Luo Weide?" ”

"It seems to go to the west" Yakuta is still very concerned about Luo Weidenov, the west is the residence of the eldest lady, heavily guarded, and he is not afraid of anything happening to Luo Weide, so Yakuta did not follow, "It should be to go to the eldest lady's side, Royce is also with him, and the chief of the Morino guard has been following, and nothing can happen if he wants to." ”

"Strange thing, what are you doing at Marina's?" Hornan felt that he couldn't understand Luo Weidenov more and more, judging from the previous situation, Luo Weidenov had always had a dispensable attitude towards marriage, why did he care so much about Marina now? If you want to say that Luo Weidenov really wants to marry, Hornan doesn't believe it, if it was before, it is still possible, now, Merlin City is in chaos, the Orientals have already gained the upper hand, there is no need to use marriage as a link, the alliance of interests of the two sides is already very strong. Norrick thought for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Perhaps, Lovednov really has a heart for Marina." ”

Whatever, Huo Nan smiled bitterly and shook his head, for now, it was important to solve the trouble of Merlin City first. Now that the situation in Merlin City is tense, every move of the Wei Ting family involves the interests of many parties, and the city patrol soldiers retreated in a big way, completely giving up the entire southern city. On the surface, it seems that he is afraid of the alliance between Raffle and Lalenk, so Lalenque did not have the slightest suspicion, and in the name of the lord of the Lukes family, he ordered Fabian to open the southern gates. On the twenty-third day of the first month of the sixth year of Taikang, after more than ten days of hard fighting, Meilin City finally ushered in a key point, and the royal army that had been waiting outside the city immediately drove into the city. At the same time, the cavalry of Northern Lorraine also bypassed the valley of Mount Lubo and entered the city of Merlin through the north gate. Merlin City ushered in a more tragic fierce battle, the two sides opened the city gates, more soldiers and horses entered Merlin City, so that the battle expanded rapidly, from Merlin Avenue to Lishui Bay, the Luke family and the royal family soldiers and horses divided into several roads, many attacks. With the help of the elite soldiers of the royal family, the rebels gained momentum, and a group of soldiers led by Jomi came from Merlin Avenue and rushed all the way to Varro Manor. Attacking Varro Manor is a plan made by Raffle and Moore together, and now that the troops are sufficient and they have the advantage, they must fight quickly, as long as they take Varro Manor, they can directly crush the will to resist of the old-fashioned nobles in South Lorraine. The addition of the royal family directly led to the fall of Merlin Boulevard, and now Varro Manor has become a key target, and the entire South Lorraine nobility finally feels a trace of danger.

Inside the Varro Castle, the judges and guards came and went, and it was a busy scene, with Hornan and Lovednov sitting in the hall, directing the battle of the manor. Luo Weidenov didn't expect to lose Merlin Avenue so quickly, so the situation became a little passive, "The top priority is to hold the two streets near Varro Manor, Lishui Bay has lost its defensive value, Lord Duke, I suggest that the defenders of Lishui Bay be transferred back." ”

"Okay" Hornan's deep approval of Lovednov's proposal, before the order was given, a personal guard hurriedly ran in, "Lord Duke, the rebels have broken through the first line of defense on the perimeter, and are now attacking the second line of defense. ”

"So fast" Luo Weidenov also felt a headache, did he believe too much in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Weiting family? The first line of defense, defended by nearly 800 soldiers, was broken through in less than an hour, which was really disappointing. If you have 2,000 Imperial soldiers in your hands, why are you so passive? The Kingdom of Lorraine is really not a military kingdom, and the aristocratic soldiers of Zhejiang and Western China have not been trained in war for a long time, so they seem too immature. Disappointment is disappointment, but we must find a way to resist it, "transfer the defenders of Lishui Bay back as soon as possible, pass through the flank and rear of the first line of defense, and strive to attack the rebels from the flank streets." Captain of the Yakuta Guard, please also lead the Guards Battalion to the last line of defense. ”

Yakuta didn't immediately agree, but looked at Hornan, and saw that Hornan didn't object, so he nodded heavily. At such a critical moment, there is no need to care about the suspicion of dominating the hosts, Luo Weidenov quickly entered the state, as if returning to the situation of the conquest of Festak and the siege of Yumsburg, "Everyone, no matter what kind of festival everyone had before, but now it has come to the moment of life and death, and I hope that everyone will abandon their previous suspicions and jointly resist the enemy." I know that many of you have a fluke mentality, and if there is, it is best to dispel this caution, the Luke family and the royal family have joined forces to want the whole of South Lorraine. If the royal family is allowed to win, none of our inherent forces will be able to stay, and no one will survive. ”

The gaze like a substance seemed to pierce people's hearts, and some of the South Lorraine nobles chuckled in their hearts before they reacted. In fact, many people are holding a fluke mentality, thinking that this is just a power struggle between the royal family and the Weiting family, and the royal family may not be wiped out. However, Lovidnov's words completely dispelled the illusions in everyone's hearts. Huo Nan secretly miscalculated, he should have thought of this a long time ago, he must block everyone's back road first, so as not to do his best when he gets it.

At this time, outside the Varro Castle, it had already been beaten into a pot of porridge, and Lovednov personally mobilized, coupled with the fact that Hornan led by example, the nobles of South Lorraine had no reservations. Obviously a restless man, Marina heard that the rebels were almost outside the Varro Manor, so she led her women's guard and broke out. Royce was like a little follower, protecting him every step of the way, which made Marina very dissatisfied, "What are you doing with you?" ”

"On the orders of Lord Royce, protect the safety of the eldest lady" Royce's face remained unchanged, he would not back down if he was killed anyway, Marina looked at it, and there was nothing to do with Royce, so he could only accept his fate.

On the last line of defense, Jomi was dressed in silver armor, with an iron helmet over his head, revealing only two eyes. The attack was quite smooth before, but on this line of defense, the royal army suffered a loss, and the conservatives got so much fire oil from nowhere, and sealed the street with a fire, and after a fight, more than 200 people were damaged, "Come on, let me break through the wall next to me, and bypass it from behind, I don't believe it, and the living can still suffocate urine." ”

With Jomi supporting behind, a group of people had no scruples, and tried their best to smash the wall next to them, where could the people living inside stand it, several people ran out and knelt directly on the ground and cried bitterly, "My lord, you can't smash the wall, you smash this place, how can our family live?" ”
