Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 4 Chapter 38: Early summer, childish steps

A young soldier walked on a slightly rugged stone path, and on both sides of the road were various colorful and colorful wildflowers, the air was filled with a slightly moist grassy smell, and the blocks of bluestones covered by the path were washed away by the rain the night before Clean, this is a very refreshing and cool morning.

The path extended all the way to the back of a house, and then turned a corner from the window of the house to the left and disappeared behind the courtyard wall on the left side of the house, but the soldier did not continue along the path, but stopped at Under the window, picked up a small stone and carefully cast it gently towards the closed sash.

After a snapping sound, there seemed to be movement in the room, and the soldiers stood upright immediately, with a self-confident smile on his face.

The window opened, revealing a gloomy middle-aged man's face that made the soldiers stunned.

"I knew you didn't have a good intention to be a soldier," the craftsman looked at Orfley with disgust. "How many times have I said that, my daughter ..."

"Do not marry as a soldier." A pretty face appeared next to the window. Ashley looked at Aufrey, who was standing a little embarrassed outside the window, and stretched her hand around his father's shoulder to kiss on his cheek. After a while, "I didn't say to marry him. He just came to pick me up for work. Don't forget that my family lives better now than in the past, but it also has my credit."

"Why did he wear a peacock like a screen? God, I have only seen some noblemen in such big cities wear it like this." The craftsman said angrily when he looked at the shiny breastplate on Orfley. "Look at how clean his clothes are, the collar is so straight, and the cuffs are not dirty at all. As far as I know, the most elegant aristocracy is like this, so I can be sure that he is seduce you."

After this assertion, the Pompeni artisan lifted his chin, as if demonstrating to Aufrej, who was standing under the window with his neck sore.

"Dad, you are deliberately finding fault, don't you know that all the Earl's soldiers are like this, the Earl ordered that they must be dressed decently," Ashley said, looking at the Orpheus outside the window, and then corrected it slightly After a while, it ’s just that he is a little more decent than everyone else.

"Just that's it?" Pompeni snorted, and of course during this time he knew that Earl Gumbre seemed to have unreasonably harsh demands on the soldiers on his personal appearance. Yi guy,

, Speaking of Orpheus went to war with the count, the craftsman was still very happy, although there was no bad curse he died on the battlefield, but the craftsman still hoped that the staff would fight for a while, it is best to wait until the guy comes back He has been forgotten.

But this guy not only came back soon, but actually ran under the window of his daughter the next morning, which made the craftsman very unhappy.

"You are here to pick up my daughter, well, take good care of her, and don't let those soldiers bear her like a bear who sees honey," Pompeni pointed to Orfrey with his finger. "But If you look at my daughter, I will look at you. If you dare to do strange things to my daughter, I will let you know how terrible a person who has been dealing with stones all day long. "

Orfrey nodded his head and his neck was about to break. At this time, he just wanted to disappear from the eyes of the craftsman as soon as possible. Although Ashley was indeed very beautiful, her father was a little too unbearable.

There was already a group of soldiers waiting in the open area, where people in the nearby villages were originally used to dry food. Later, with the expansion of the fortress and the expansion of the town, it gradually became a meeting place in the later town of Montina. local.

Now it became a place where Alexander used to conduct a new cohort drill for experiments, and the Montina people watched the lively place.

The Montina called this small unit the "Peacock Army", which is not a good reputation, just as Pompeni ridiculed Ofrei, in the eyes of the Montina, these soldiers are completely a group of nobles. Toys for lords to have fun.

Seeing the comics that they moved back and forth as the craftsman daughter took the tunes of her men who sang exclusively, the people of Montina couldn't help but wonder whether they had a lord who was a little bit ill.

Ashley's singing is good, but mainly optimistic. She likes to hum those cheerful songs, but she is not used to it in the first place in front of so many people.

Fortunately, she realized that she only had to take care of herself, so she chose not to pay attention to the neighbors who were watching the lively and the soldiers who were not very obedient at first, especially when some officers used a stick to teach a few After the fierce stabbing, Ashley found that she not only sang those songs naturally, but sometimes she could deliberately speed up and slow down the tunes to tease those who were confused by her rhythm if she wanted to. soldiers.

The sound of drums sounded, it was a very small snare drum that you carried with you.

The drums stopped and the queue stopped.

The drumming became rapid, and the soldiers in the front row quickly squatted down and raised their spears.

There was another rhythmic drum sound, and the muzzle of the black hole of the musket protruded from the dense spear gap.

Then there is the continued drumming, the continuous steps and advances.

Ofrey stood by and watched Ashley seriously command the drummers, while the soldiers in the open ground were familiar with some mechanical movements after playing for nearly a month with the fun.

In fact, Ofolay himself was also a little confused. When he first proposed this to Alexander, it was more interesting, at most, it was that he could make the messy team more obedient on the battlefield.

But now he found that Ashley did much more than he thought, but he knew that it should not be Ashley ’s own idea, but Alexander ’s decision, which made Aufrei somewhat concerned about whether Lord Lord I'm a little too enthusiastic about this kind of trick.

And O'Fairy found a very strange place, that is, this weapon used by Alexander to test the army is also a bit strange.

The hot and cold comparison between the musket and the spear and the crossbow and sword shield actually came to a surprising 1:10, which made Aufrei wondering how such an army could survive on the battlefield.

Ofrey felt that it was necessary to remind the lord, although the Agri Musketeers were indeed brave, but even thought of the possibility of commanding such an army in the future, Ofrey still felt uneasy.

Of course, of course he knew the power of firearms. He had commanded the Agry Musketeers more than once, but even then, he could not imagine how an army with so many firearms would resist the enemy cavalry on the battlefield. It is the knights' charge. As long as you think about the knights who are covered with whole bodies and even the war horses are covered with strict armor, like a monster who rushed like a monster, Orpheus felt the need to talk to the lord.

Ofrey does not think that the entire army can become a hunting guard. It is not only that it requires too much money to replace weapons, but more importantly, his brave memory of those Milan knights is still fresh.

And he doesn't think that he can really be so lucky that he can always hide behind a wall fortification. Once he fights with the enemy in the wild, Orflaire still thinks that the spear and the strong shield are more reliable.

A galloping man caused the idea of ​​Ofrei, and he beckoned to the soldier a few steps forward to bring him to himself.

This is a weird man with a soft woolen cap buckled on his head. The wide sleeves rolled up because of the hot weather tied two big knots on his shoulders, which should have been tied in a belt. Scattered and exposed outside, except for the bottom two, the entire row of wood buttons had been untied, revealing a dark hair on the man's chest.

"Who are you and where do you come from?" Ofrey asked, looking at the gasping man warily.

"I am the servant of the Countess of Cosenza, my name is Bereri, and I want to see Gombre."

"Are you saying you want to see Lord Earl?" Ofrei frowned. Although this man claimed to be from the Countess of Cosenza, Butrei could perceive that he did not seem to respect the Earl, even in Speaking of the earl's surname was also ironic.

"Yes, I want to see the count," Burelli said impatiently. He thought the soldier in front of him was annoying, but thinking about Rusha's command, he still said patiently, "I will bring him Here comes a message from the countess and the money he needs. "

When it came to money, Burelli's tone became impatient, and he never understood why Ruosha worked so hard for the half-brother who did not know where, if Speaking of kinship, Burelli feels that as Rusha ’s half-brother, he is much closer than that of Gomblay.

I heard that he was here to give money to the count. Ofrei ’s attitude was slightly better. He heard that the count ’s half-sister seemed to be very capable and helped the lord a lot. The close correspondence between letters can be seen.

But he still decided to send someone to report to the lord before leading the Cosenza named Bereri to the castle.

"This is the new castle of Montina?"

Standing in front of the castle, Burleigh looked at the castle with a critical eye, and then he deliberately pouted.

"It looks like a castle that hasn't been completed yet, and there is not even the most decent ditch here. I think I already know why the Loviré family would treat this place as a dowry so generously."

Ofrely looked at Burelli with a heavy face. He really didn't expect a servant to be so annoying. Although what he said was true, it made Orfrey very disgusted.

"The inside of this castle is almost all masonry, this is a group of fortresses that have gradually formed stars after centuries," Ofrei moved out the history of the castle that Alexander said, seeing Bo With a slightly unexpected look, Lary finally felt comfortable. "And Lord Lord has decided to rebuild Montina Castle, maybe you will be surprised when you come back in a few years."

"Yeah, with the count's money." Burelli grumbled dissatisfiedly, then looked at the team behind him a little reluctantly.

Alexander is calculating the bill in the vault, or more precisely counting the money.

Calgino was pleasantly surprised. Not only did he send someone to 5000 Florin, which he had previously discussed with Alexander, but he also proposed another deal.

According to the report of the scout investigation, the Venice and Milan coalition forces have retreated to the edge of Romagna according to the route stipulated in the agreement. According to their speed of travel, the Milanese can completely withdraw from Romagna in 2 days, and the Venetians are slightly later, From the marching signs, Pitiliuno was indeed in a hurry to return to Venice as soon as possible.

In this way, the mission of the Genoese stationed in the city of Realo to monitor the withdrawal of the two directions is also considered to be a mess.

So Calgino, eager to return to Genoa, offered Alexander a seemingly cost-effective deal for him-the large coalitions hoarding in Realo did not have time to take away, and the discarded supplies were sold to Alexander at a low price. .

These materials include not only various weapons replacement parts, and many miscellaneous things necessary for marching, but also a batch of food that can be eaten for a long time.

According to Calgino, it is difficult for him to imagine his army returning to Genoa with so many so-called loot that is not very valuable, it will only make others laugh at him.

Looking at Alexander holding the list sent by Calgino's man, Carlo next to him grumbled dissatisfiedly: "Why didn't the Genoese send someone to just send a list, and then we sent a few people over to see The things he said are worth buying, can we just deduct the money from that money? "

Alexander looked up to see Carlo stopped, and then said: "First of all, no one of us can send over, because my men include you, many people do n’t know the word except the battle, let alone the numbers. The only thing that can be sent out is Gumpati, but do you think he is suitable? The other thing is that I think Calgino really wants me to feel this little embarrassment, because then maybe he will be happy. "

After speaking, Alexander looked down and continued to look at the rather scrawled list in his hand, looking at the specious things above, and soon he came to a conclusion that Calvino ’s military camp was like him. Lack of a qualified accountant.

But even then, after a rough calculation, Alexander couldn't help but admit that the business was really done.

At least compared to the supplies he got from Giovanni, Calgino didn't look much inferior.

To feed these current armies, and to prepare for Carlo's imminent recruitment of new armies in Agri, Alexander felt that he was just a little rich and safe, and he became a bit tight again.

So when seeing Burleigh, Alexander rushed up almost without thinking and gave the other a big hug.

"Welcome you my brother." Alexander greeted excitedly.

"Fake intimacy." Burleigh murmured, then reluctantly took out a thick book from the leather shoulder bag. "Miss for you, I don't know what was written on it, but the lady said it was important." . "

Alexander took the book and opened it, and immediately frowned a few times.

"Very important, really important," Alexander looked up at Burleigh. Of course he knew that this half-brother of Ruo Sha didn't like himself as much as he didn't like him, but at this time he still I am really grateful to Burleigh, who came so timely. "This is a gift that Rusha prepared for me. With it, we can have the opportunity to get enough money."

Alexander said that he solemnly put the book that recorded the log of the Carolingian Palace into his arms.

He knew that this precious material should have been obtained by Lusha Rezia, which made Alexander feel an urge to hug the two lovely girls and kiss them.

"Carlo, I think you can feel at ease with Agrig now, and I hope you can recruit me a group of Aggris as brave as these soldiers now," Alexander told Carlo, and then he looked at Austria. Frey "As for you and my army commander, I think you should speed up the training of the model army, of course I know you must be very willing to do this."

Before waiting for Orpheus to speak, Alexander looked at Burleigh.

"I think you might have to work hard for Burleigh," Alexander said, waving to Berari. "You probably only stay here for one night. I will write an equally important letter to Rusha, UU. Reading www.uukanshu.com, you told her to do what I said in my letter. "

"I am now a messenger between you," Burelli said slightly uncomfortably. "Then you need to write a letter faster. I don't need to rest. I just go on the road as soon as I have a full meal."

Alexander nodded indifferently. He didn't expect Burelli to hate him so much that he didn't want to stay with him for a while, but Alexander didn't care about it, and he really needed Burelli to return to Rome as soon as possible.

"Dear sister, I want to thank you for all you have done for me. This makes me think you are so cute. Even at this time I was already thinking, if anyone wants to propose to you, will I be jealous? When I challenged him, I didn't really hate the relationship we have now when I thought I didn't have a name that could prevent this from happening ... "

Alexander wrote quickly on the stationery, although he had already discovered that the content of the letter was indeed an adventure, or even revealing his own bottom, but thinking of what Lusha did for him, Alexander felt that this would not only give Trouble yourself, on the contrary, a **** affection between taboos and strangeness seems to further promote the relationship between him and Luo Sha.

"But what I want to tell you now is that some unexpected actions that may occur here may cause some people in Rome to react violently, so I need you to solve these troubles for me when necessary," Alexander wrote Stopped here, his eyes turned to a calendar picture placed on the table, looking at the days on which he was marked with a knife. After Alexander pondered a little, he continued to write "Remember an important day, Ruosha, 6 On the 15th of the month, that is, 12 days later, on this day, I want you to put down everything and stay with Lucrezia. Believe me, this is very important to all of us! "
