Chapter 59

Lord's house, Donne opened the bedroom door and hurried to the study. Uncle Depp, the soldier and Fiona are all here at the moment.

"Lord!"

Uncle Depp said with a ashamed face, "the letter has been delivered, but I haven't done it. Duvier wanted to kill us, so he had to use the transmission scroll. Please punish the Lord!"

"It's all right."

Don patted uncle Depp on the shoulder. "I just didn't think that duvier really dared to kill the messenger."

Fiona said, "not killing messengers is just a default rule. Since duvier dares to reach here, of course he is not a person who abides by the rules."

"But Lord, I have brought back a very important message!"

Uncle Depp was so excited when he saw that Donne didn't blame him that he said, "Baron duvier is going to send troops to attack Ellington!"

"Oh?"

Donne raised his eyebrows: "I was going to settle with him, but he came to the door?"

"Lord!"

Fiona was worried: "Ellington has just begun to recover and can't stand the war now! Unless -"

Fiona wanted to say that unless Donne did it, but she held back at the thought of his warning.

"I know."

Donne waved his hand and looked at the soldier. "What's the matter with this guy?"

This guy has been sitting on the ground since the beginning, with a dull face and constantly muttering "abandoned" and "the Lord is so ruthless".

Uncle Depp said with a bitter smile, "after reading your letter, duvier was angry and wanted to kill him together. I brought him back easily."

"I see..."

Donne pondered for a moment and said to the soldier, "if you don't want to die, answer my question."

A soul stirring soldier said, "no! Don't kill me!"

"Well, how many fighting soldiers does Baron duvier have? Listen, I'm asking fighting soldiers, not you losers."

"This..."

The demobilized soldiers are collapsing. They're already elite, okay? But when Donne scolded him as a waste, he couldn't refute a word.

No way, 150 elite soldiers were defeated by 50 militias and more than 100 demobilized soldiers were captured. How can they say they are elite soldiers in front of Ellington militia?

"We are already one of the best soldiers under Baron duvier. In addition to the 150 brothers in the mine, there are 500 resident elite soldiers in castle caspami. They are responsible for guarding the baron. Their equipment should be better than ours, but there is not much difference..."

"Little difference? That is, Baron duvier doesn't have an apocalyptic army?"

"How possible!"

Before the soldiers could speak, Fiona shouted, "every Apocalypse has self-esteem. How can they be willing to be an ordinary soldier of a baron? Even the viscount and count are difficult to recruit an apocalypse army. Baron duvier is just a baron. How can he afford the consumption of the apocalypse."

"I see."

Don't worry, "don't worry. If it's such waste, there are not enough people to see, let alone only 500 people."

"Lord, it's amazing that a baron has 500 soldiers..."

The weak soldier said: "the number of private soldiers given to the Baron by the empire is only 500. The Baron's actual number of private soldiers is full and many... And he has several powerful apocalypses to protect him in the dark..."

"No amount of waste is waste."

Donne shook his head. "Don't worry, they don't even want to come in at Ellington's gate."

The soldier opened his mouth and finally lowered his head. Of course, he knows why the Lord is so confident.

Fiona frowned: "but duvier gave up these soldiers, that is to say, we will raise them for nothing?"

"Of course not... I think they are happy to fight for their lives."

Donne smiled. "Go, go to the dungeon."

Donne took the private soldier to the dungeon again. The demobilized soldiers in the dungeon were still noisy. They sat around playing cards and chatting. They didn't regard themselves as prisoners at all.

The soldiers shouted at once when they saw Donne coming back with their companions.

"You're back! What did the LORD say? Let you take us back?"

"Is Lord very angry?"

The soldier opened his mouth and said dejectedly, "brothers, we have been abandoned by the Lord..."

"What!? how is that possible!"

"Boo!" a hot soldier grabbed the railing of his cell and roared, "we guard the mine for him. The mine has brought him hundreds of thousands of gold coins a year. Now he actually gives up us!?"

"You're lying to us. You're lying to us, aren't you?"

"I didn't lie to you!"

The soldiers shouted, "if it weren't for the messenger of Lord Ellington, I would have been beheaded by the Baron! The Baron is very angry! Very angry! He decided to level Ellington!"

Hearing this, the soldiers' faces showed panic. If Baron duvier's soldiers really flattened here, it is estimated that they will be executed immediately!

Donne smiled, stepped forward and said faintly, "I think you know what will happen to you after Ellington is broken."

In the dungeon, there was a moment of silence.

"After living in Ellington for a few days, you should know who I am... Ellington doesn't raise waste people. If you want to live, give me your loyalty."

Donne said, "so I can let you out and let you fight for Ellington and your own life."

"Why should we believe you?"

"Yes! You are also a noble! Baron duvier will give up us, and you will give up us!"

"Maybe you're right," Donne waved very casually, "but now, do you have a choice?"

Silence came again. As Donne said, they had no choice.

Either wait to die, or fight hard, and maybe you can qualify for survival in Ellington.

"If you have satisfied me in this battle, I can give you the identity of Ellington residents and allow you to live in Ellington."

After a pause, Donne continued, "if you choose to be silent, after I defeat Baron duvier, you will all become my slaves, be branded as slaves, and be sent to the mine to dig for a lifetime, or work hard in Ellington for a lifetime. Now, your destiny is in your own hands. You make a decision."

The sound of rapid breathing and heartbeat echoed in the dungeon. Facing this difficult choice, they all hesitated.

"But... We still have family in castle caspami... If we lose..."

Yes, the most difficult thing for them is this. Once Donne can't completely defeat Baron duvier, the families of these soldiers will be destroyed.

"Then don't lose."

Donne's answer is also very simple: "if you are worried that Ellington will be defeated by duvier's attack, try your best to win him. Don't forget that you have actually died once. I reward you every day now."

"I, I, I... I accept this condition!"

The soldier next to Donne suddenly shouted, "anyway, I'm an orphan. I serve just to get a bite of food. I work hard with anyone - Lord Donne, no, you'll be my Lord in the future! I offer my loyalty to you!"

"Good. You're the first. What's your name?"

"Altman, my Lord."

"Poof! What's your name?"

Donne looked stunned and thought he had heard something.

Altman was stunned: "my name is Altman, Lord."

Donne waved his big hand: "well, just for your name, you are the captain of this team!"

I have to be promoted for this name. It's a great feeling to think about being a cosmic hero.

"Thank you, Lord, for your promotion!"

Altman was surprised. Although he didn't know what happened to his name, there was no doubt that the first defection was really good.

Seeing that Altman became the captain directly, the other soldiers panicked.

"I also offer my loyalty to you, Lord!"

"And me!"

"Me too!"

The soldiers in the dungeon knelt down one after another. Since duvier had abandoned them, another nobleman was willing to recruit them, and surrender could exempt them from slavery. Of course, they would choose this way.

"Very good."

Donne nodded with satisfaction. A hundred soldiers in the dungeon chose to surrender: "in that case, open the prison door."

"Lord!"

The dungeon guard was surprised: "what if they attack you?"

"Open the door."

Donne waved his hand. "These people are not qualified yet."

The soldiers in the dungeon laughed, but they saw the scene that Donne killed Eddie with one punch. Such a powerful Eddie was not the opponent of the Lord. They didn't think they had a chance to escape.

"From today on, you are the second guard of Ellington, Captain Altman. In addition to me, you also accept the jurisdiction of the first guard captain Elsa, okay?"

"Lord, Elsa is..."

"The girl who blew up the mine building with one punch."

"Uh, uh, I see!"

Altman broke out in a cold sweat. Elsa's punch left a very deep impression on them.

If Donne's power only let them see the tip of the iceberg, Elsa is undoubtedly a human dragon standing in front of them. The sense of oppression alone makes them dare not act rashly.

Who can stand such a terrible blow!

How powerful should Lord Donne be to make Elsa's men obey orders?

"Open their shackles, take back your armor, report to Elsa with Uncle Depp, and immediately participate in the training of the guard."

Donne gave the order very simply. He was not afraid that the soldiers would escape.

After placing the soldiers, Donne returned to the Lord's house.
