Chapter 455 Ludwig Carelessly Loses His Mother
In a forest, a group of White Lion Knights were resting there. There was not a single clean spot on their bodies, only dirt and blood.
“Huff, huff, huff—”
Jules took off his helmet and put it aside, breathing heavily. His face was soaked with sweat and mixed with the dust on his face, making him look particularly embarrassed.
As a man who is almost fifty years old, participating in such a high-intensity war and riding on horseback for a long time at once made him feel exhausted. It seemed as if every inch of his muscles was sore and every breath seemed to be pulling on his injured body.
"Oh my, after this is over, I will definitely resign."
Jules sat by the fire, leaning against a rock, and spoke weakly to himself.
Opposite him were the two centurions, Anderson and Savile, who had left Windham with him. They were both young and strong, with good physical strength. At this moment, they were concentrating on the grilled fish on the fire, which was emitting an enticing aroma under the flames.
"Think positively, deputy captain. There is news that the Yoda army is still attacking the Earl's Castle. Other countries have also sent troops to the North Port. With us, the Yoda people will definitely be defeated."
As Anderson spoke, he reached out and picked up a grilled fish from the fire, tore off a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewing as he spoke, with a hint of ease and confidence in his tone.
At this moment, a White Lion Knight rushed into the camp like a gust of wind. He did not stop at all, and dismounted quickly and swiftly. Then, he pulled a man off his horse, dragged the man all the way to Jules, and said to Jules:
"Deputy Captain, something terrible has happened."
"Yoda's army has breached the Earl's Castle?"
Jules stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, and asked anxiously.
"No. Let him speak."
The White Lion Knight pulled the man in front of him. The messenger staggered and finally stood firm. He cleared his throat, trying to appear calmer, and then said:
"Are you the one in charge here? Your subordinate is so rude. He saved me from the Yoda people. I wanted to thank him, but I didn't expect that he would treat me, an envoy from the Hall of the King of Law, like this. How can this be…"
"rub!"
The White Lion Knight put his sword on the messenger's neck without hesitation and said coldly:
"Stop talking nonsense, get to the point!"
The messenger was so frightened that he trembled all over, the muscles on his face began to twitch, and his heels unconsciously rubbed back on the ground, and it looked like he was about to kneel down.
"Don't kill me! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
The messenger quickly said:
"The commander of the holy war, Count John Hohenzollern, unfortunately passed away on his way back from the holy war. Now, the French King's Office has decided, and with the consent of His Majesty the King of France, to canonize John Hohenzollern as a saint, and to build a ..."
"What did you say!"
When Jules heard that his nephew was dead, he couldn't believe it at first. He was like a lion that was suddenly enraged, his eyes widened with anger, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burn everything in front of him. He grabbed the messenger tightly with both hands, shook him, and roared loudly.
"No...I didn't kill him!"
The messenger spoke hurriedly, his voice full of fear, and his body was shaking like a sieve.
"Reynard, who was traveling with Count John, came back and said that it was because of the betrayal of the Yoda Empire that they were besieged by the Kushans. John was seriously injured and died of illness during the retreat!"
The messenger said in a panic.
"The entire French King's Office knows about this now. I am only conveying this news to His Majesty the King of France on his orders. If you don't believe me, you can go to the French King's Office and ask."
"Fuck you, Ludwig, I'm gonna fucking kill you!"
Jules roared in a low voice, his voice full of anger and hatred, as if he wanted to cut Ludwig into pieces.
Then Jules shouted to the camp:
"Everyone get on your horses! Go to Earl's Castle and kill the Yoda army and the son of a bitch Ludwig!"
His voice echoed in the woods like thunder, instantly making the originally quiet camp boil.
"Well, it's over."
Andre and Xavier were shocked at first, and then they responded to Jules' order. They looked at each other, and a complex emotion surged in their hearts. After all, they were promoted by John a few years ago. They were filled with grief and hatred for John's death, and they had to take revenge first.
After a flurry of packing, the White Lion Knights were all ready to go.
Jules stood in the middle of the camp, his eyes full of determination and anger. He shouted:
"Brothers, Earl John is my nephew and your former boss. We cannot let him die in obscurity! Now is the time to avenge Earl John! Follow me!"
After saying that, he was the first to mount his warhorse, drew his sword on horseback, and raised it high in the air.
Seeing this, the White Lion Knights shouted passionately and responded to Jules' call. Inspired by their morale, they rushed out of the camp like a black tide under Jules's leadership.
“Oh, no.”
The messenger looked at the empty camp, his heart filled with fear and helplessness. He shouted:
"What should I do!"
……
"Ludwig, you damned thing! Why do you have nothing better to do than to do something like this?"
At night, Count Reginale stood on the wall of a castle, the cold night wind blew his cloak, making a rustling sound. The whole night sky was dark, and the thick clouds were like a huge lead plate, pressing down heavily, blocking the stars and the moon tightly. It was pitch black all around, as if the whole world was swallowed by darkness.
In the open space near the castle, the soldiers' tents were arranged densely like a dense ant colony. Bonfires flickered between the tents, emitting faint warm light, adding a touch of vitality to this cold night.
The earl's face was covered with deep sorrow and anger, his hands were clenched tightly, and his knuckles turned white due to the force. He had just learned of the death of his son-in-law John, and this news was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart.
Now, her daughter has lost her husband and her grandson has lost his father, and the family is broken. The culprit is actually Ludwig's crazy and selfish plan to unify the continent.
"Sir, after we capture this place, we will be only about fifty miles away from the imperial capital."
At this moment, a knight quickly walked up to the city wall, knelt on one knee, and spoke respectfully.
"We'll pack up and head to the imperial capital tomorrow morning. I now have another score to settle with Ludwig!"
Count Reginale said viciously, his voice filled with uncontrollable anger, echoing in the silent night sky.
