Chapter 411： Are you kidding me? (2 in 1)

After the badge was removed, Andrew checked for a moment that nothing was different, and then he observed the bamboo tube.

Immediately, the opening was found, and a small piece of paper was taken out from it.

When the small nobles saw this note, they all looked surprised, and then craned their necks to wait.

"Andrew, how is it, what was written."

However, Andrew only checked for a moment, and some of the minor nobles couldn't help but start to ask curiously.

However, his inquiry did not get an answer from Andrew.

Because as he looked at the note, Andrew's face became more and more ugly, and then he opened his mouth wide, and the whole person stood on the spot.

"What's the matter?" Suddenly, the small nobles looked at each other in dismay.

This time, they couldn't sit still any longer. Several nobles who were familiar with Andrew came directly to Andrew, and then looked at the note.

It's just that when they looked at it like this, they immediately seemed to have been hit by a body-fixing spell, and there was no more sound.

"Did you see a ghost?" The other nobles were astonished.

"No...not good, we...we are ambushed..." In the end, Andrew still reflected.

"Ambush in what? Are you still awake, Andrew?"

"My little Narant and Miss Stella were stationed in the passage. A few days ago, I encountered an infantry corps of tens of thousands of people from the Agate Principality, and I learned from the captured enemy deputy commander that everything in Oak City is Trap, there are 150,000 Northern Principality troops in the city, and just tonight, they will have tens of thousands of cavalry arriving at our side and rear, and then attack our camp from front to back!" Andrew said with a trembling .

This earth-shattering news, even a rude man like him had to swallow his saliva before he could finish it.

"There are... 150,000... troops in Oak City? Gudong, Andrew, this is true or false, don't scare us, this joke is not funny at all!" A group of small nobles immediately snorted after hearing this. Trembling, swallowing saliva and trembling to confirm again.

"Have you seen me Andrew make such a joke?" Andrew turned pale and said to everyone.

"Then...then we now..."

"You must report to the Count immediately!" Andrew then reflected, and the next moment he didn't have time to pay attention to the other minor nobles, and rushed towards the Count's tent.

Looking at Andrew's dashing figure, the field was silent for a moment.

"Gudong, should we...should hurry up and pack up and prepare to evacuate?"

After a while, I don't know which aristocrat asked the crowd with difficulty.

"Yes, yes, pack up and prepare to escape, 150,000 troops, tens of thousands of cavalry, this is definitely not something we can resist, everyone should go back and gather people and pack up!"

"Come on, everyone go back...

In the next moment, the small nobles finally rushed towards their respective camps frantically as if they had exploded.

...

At the same time, Andrew arrived at Bernard's tent at the fastest speed.

When Bernard saw the information on the note, he was also stunned for a moment, and then he said in disbelief, "Andrew, can this news be confirmed?"

"My lord, the news was sent by this bird, I did see a maid in Narant with a bird, and the letter and Narant's golden badge were tied to the bird's leg at that time! "Andrew responded immediately.

Bernard's eyes fell on Xiao Huihui, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

Although Xiao Huihui is now a lot fatter, the pattern on the feathers is quite similar to when he was searching for the maid who killed Quint in Tulip Castle, so this matter is probably true.

"My lord, what should we do now, should we retreat immediately?" Andrew knew that Bernard had believed this matter.

"We must retreat!" Bernard didn't hesitate, "Andrew, if Narant's message is true, we probably won't have much time left! I will immediately send a ranger to the northeast to investigate the situation! "

"In addition, no matter what the investigation situation is, we have to make preparations first. Andrew, you immediately help me to notify all the teams to gather, so that they can pack edible food on their bodies, discard all heavy and useless materials, and then go to the The camp is waiting for my news!" Bernard stood up abruptly.

He has absolute trust in Narant. Since it is basically certain that it is the news that Narant sent back, it is definitely not something they can fight against the 160,000 army, so there is only one way to retreat.

Moreover, according to the envelope, the time after four days is exactly today, so I am afraid that when I retreat, I will not be able to retreat calmly.

Therefore, now everything is mainly to keep the guards under him. As for what materials, except for the necessary food, other things that should be discarded must be discarded.

"Yes, my lord!"

Hearing that, Andrew also knew that the time was running out, and immediately took the order to leave.

After Andrew left, Bernard did not stay in the tent, but quickly got out of the tent and called a team of Rangers.

"Lazi, now you take your people to the northeast to investigate, remember, this time there is likely to be a large cavalry ambush in the northeast, the number may be tens of thousands, you must be careful to investigate clearly, if there is any discovery, the first Come back and report back as soon as possible without any delay!"

"Yes, my lord!" Lacy's face became solemn when he heard the words, and he heard the seriousness of the situation.

"I have a telescope here, which may be helpful for your exploration. Remember, if you can not alert the enemy, then it is best not to alert the enemy!" Bernard reminded again.

"Yes, my lord!"

Immediately, Captain Lacy solemnly took the binoculars, and immediately ran out of the camp with the Rangers.

This Captain Lacy was the one who accompanied Narant and Stella on the Ranger mission, so he was no stranger to binoculars, and even Narant gave him a taste of it.

After explaining what happened in the camp, Bernard rode directly on the war horse, and then walked towards the king's camp without stopping.

Just over ten minutes later, all the counts were called to the council tent in the king's camp.

"Bernard, what's going on, what happened to the survival of the army?"

The reason why the earls came so quickly was naturally because Bernard sent cavalry to inform him.

It was too late for the cavalry to explain the matter to the counts, but only to say that there was a major event related to the life and death of the army.

After the earls received the news, whether they believed it or not, they all rushed over immediately.

Several earls and kings had just entered the tent, and immediately asked Bernard.

The matter of life and death of the army is absolutely earth-shattering, and they want to hear it.

"Your Majesty, and everyone, I just received a letter from the vassal Narant, saying that the edge of the desert where they were located was raided by tens of thousands of troops from the Northern Principality four days ago."

"Fortunately, the tens of thousands of troops were defeated by them. However, when they interrogated the deputy commander of the captured army, they learned that this year's autumn expedition, the Northern Principality has set a trap for us..." Bernard did not hesitate, He spoke directly and explained the things on the letter paper as briefly as possible.

"So, I'm afraid we have to evacuate immediately. If Oak City really has 150,000 troops in ambush, and there are more than 15,000 elite cavalry in the northeast, then when they attack, I'm afraid we won't have time to evacuate. "

After speaking, Bernard waited for everyone's response.

And all the counts, including the king, were stunned when they heard Bernard's words.

"Bernard, are you kidding? Oak City was about to be breached by us at noon today? And the first person to climb the city wall was your own vassal, and His Majesty also gave a reward, how could there be What about the ambush?" Immediately, the earl asked, obviously, this sudden news was too fantastic.

"Everyone, I'm not joking, and my news should be reliable. It was sent by Narant specially, and it came with his noble badge!" Bernard knew that it would be impossible for everyone to believe and retreat immediately. At the moment, he suppressed the anxiety and explained the opening.

"Bernard, where is the messenger, can you call me to ask about the specific situation?" After being confirmed again, and seeing Bernard being so solemn, the king and several counts finally took it seriously.

At the moment, the king asked in person.

Although he believed a little bit of what Bernard said, he didn't fully believe it. After all, the news was too shocking.

And he was subconsciously unwilling to leave now.

He put too much expectations on Oak City, and he saw that he would be able to win the city in a day or two. At that time, relying on Oak City and Maple Leaf City, he would have a strategic depth, and he would be able to rely on two counties in the future. Fully stand on your heels.

But now, if it is really as urgent as the letter said, not only have to give up attacking Oak City for several days, but also need to abandon all the heavy supplies to escape, then this year's autumn expedition may end here.

"Your Majesty, there is no messenger, because Narant and the others only encountered the army of the Northern Principality four days ago. If they send a quick horse back to deliver the message, I'm afraid they may not be able to deliver the message tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Therefore, he relies on the birds to deliver the message. sent back!"

"Flying Bird's Message?" The earls looked at each other in dismay, and they became hesitant again, who had already believed it a little.

"Yes, there are letters and Narant's noble badges attached to Asuka's legs, and the letter also mentions Huck, who is directly under the (Royal) 3rd Infantry Regiment of the Northern Principality. Since the commander Huck is there, it means that The Northern Principality does have a big conspiracy, and we have to be careful."

"Bernard, are you kidding me? What if this is a trap used by the Northern Principality? If it is true that the army of ten thousand people is according to what you said on your letter paper, with more than one thousand people of your Tulip family, you can defeat it. An army of tens of thousands?" Rakoff questioned the next moment.

"Also, if the Northern Principality is really going to send cavalry to raid, why didn't anyone from our garrison come back to report?"

To say that the person who least expects the army to retreat this time, except for the king, is Talakoff.

Because he finally got a good position for Bernard by stealing the day and day, wouldn't it be a waste to give up now?

Of course, interest is only a small part of the reason, mainly because Bernard has not produced enough evidence to convince him.

In particular, Narant used thousands of people to defeat tens of thousands of enemies. I am afraid that even in a dream, he would not dare to imagine this.

More importantly, if there were indeed enemy cavalry raiding from the northeast, why didn't his eldest son Tony send someone to report it?

And as Rakoff asked questions, the other counts also raised questions waiting for Bernard to answer.

Their sons and daughters are also stationed in the northeast. If there is an enemy, they should report back, unless they are wiped out...

"Rakoff, I don't have time to discuss with you whether Narant can defeat the enemy's army of 10,000 people, and I don't know why those garrisoned teams didn't report back, but I can guarantee that this letter was sent by Narant! ' Bernard gave Rakoff a cold glance.

If it wasn't for the principality's sake, he really didn't want to inform Rakoff that it would be better for the northern principality to destroy the Iron Cavalry family, and save people from being disgusting all day.

"Your Majesty, the situation is urgent, time is running out, please make a decision quickly." The next moment, Bernard looked directly at the king. If the king did not make a decision, then Bernard would even be violating the order. Take your own subordinates too.

Because in his heart, he has a very high trust in Narant's magic, just like last time in Maple Leaf City, Narant also avoided the army from falling into the trap by himself.

"Your Majesty, there is a man named Lacy outside the camp, claiming to be the captain of the Tulip family's rangers, asking for an interview.

"It's the ranger I sent out earlier, I must have found the news!" Bernard's expression changed, and his mood fell to the bottom. It took less than 20 minutes for Lacy to return. I'm afraid the result will not be too great. Good news….

"Let him in!" The king immediately let him go.

Soon, Lacy came to the tent anxiously, not even bothering to greet the earls and kings, he directly half-kneeled on the ground and reported loudly to Bernard: "Sir, what you said is true, in Shili There is a large group of cavalry outside the land that is slowly moving towards us!"

"Ten miles? Impossible, didn't the other rangers find out?" The earls immediately exclaimed.

"Earls, after we ran for five or six miles to the northeast, we noticed that there were no rangers returning nearby, so we felt it was strange, so we observed with a telescope on a **** with the highest terrain, and found more than ten miles. A group of dark shadows are gathering silently outside!" Lacy immediately explained.

"This..." This time, several counts became suspicious.

If it is said that Asuka may still be false, it is no longer possible to be false.

After all, this Ranger was just released by Bernard and reported in front of them.

Unless Bernard rebels, or is next to this Ranger, there is a high probability that this is true.

Rakoff suddenly sat down on the armchair.

Of course, it wasn't entirely because of the arrival of the enemy that he thought of his son.

The enemy was ten miles away, but his son didn't come back, so don't think too much about what happened...

"The cavalry of the Tulip family, can you determine the number of cavalry in that brigade?" The king was a king after all, so he stood up at this moment, and his face was solemn, but there was no panic.

"Your Majesty, because it's already dark, it's impossible to determine the real number, but looking at the size of the team, it's at least no less than tens of thousands!" Lacy replied earnestly.

"Not less than tens of thousands!" King Culver clenched his fists, I am afraid that more than 15,000 elite cavalry are real.

The next moment, he looked directly at Bernard and the counts.

"If that's the case, then retreat! Everyone, return immediately to summon troops and horses to retreat!"

"Your Majesty, we're retreating now, I'm afraid it's too late! Ordinary guards can't outrun the enemy's cavalry!" An earl reminded him immediately.

"I really can't run, so after you go back, let all the vassals immediately start to evacuate with ordinary guards, only bring rations, discard all other materials, and return to the south at the fastest speed!"

"Remember, tell them not to light torches and escape in the dark!"

"As for you, when you go back, call your respective knights to join me. We must take the initiative to attack and disrupt the formation of the Northern Principality's cavalry!" The king immediately made an arrangement!

Although the most important subordinates of the great nobles are the extraordinary knights, this does not mean that ordinary guards are not needed.

If they only ran away with their own knights, but let 80,000 or 90,000 ordinary guards fall into the hands of the northern principality, it would also affect the national strength of the entire principality.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The counts did not care about the distressed supplies, and began to return to the camp to act according to the king's instructions.
