Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 2 Chapter 56: Night Fight (Part 1)

The night has gradually shrouded the earth. Another night has made the farmhouse that has just experienced a little battle quiet. Alexander stands outside the gate of the farmhouse and looks at the dark fields in the distance.

Because the topography of the farm is very high, you can see the surroundings very clearly.

Under the moonlight, the entire sky and earth seemed to be coated with silver, extending forward from the feet, to the far field, and to the farther horizon, it seemed that everything was hidden in the darkness under this silver.

This looks a bit strange, as if the originally bright silverware was covered with a black curse, people can't help but look at this scene inexplicably nervous.

Elliott did not know when he came out, he stood side by side with Alexander looking at the distant field, nodded and said, "The night here is beautiful, isn't it."

Alexander didn't speak, he sat down on a stone, still looking at the distance.

Elliott didn't mind the deliberate indifference of Alexander. He sat directly on the ground, comfortably extended his legs fully, and supported his body with his hands backwards.

"You should accept my advice so I can help you," Elliott continued. "Support from Taranto is very important to the Cosenza family, even Count Modillo will not be so uncomfortable. care."

Alexander looked at Elliott: "Or you are right, but shouldn't it be to the people of the Cosenza family, I am not this family."

"Don't lie to my friend, let alone treat me as a fool," Elliott shook his head, as if a little unhappy. "I can see that you have a great influence on the countess, and those Bohemians should It ’s all yours, so I ’ll tell you this. "

Looking at Elliott's eyes as if guessing something, Alexander secretly became alert.

Sure enough, Elliott lowered his voice slightly and said: "I guessed wrong before, thinking you are the lover of the countess, but now I know that you should be her brother, half-brother."

Alexander cursed secretly in his heart, and he felt that he should stop the mouths of those people, whether it was Mahimo or Uliu.

"Don't blame your servant," Elliott said with a smile. "This is actually what Burelli said. He doesn't seem very friendly to you."

"Berelli," Alexander rubbed his head. Of course he knew that Bereri was a little disgusted with him, and now it seems that the disgust is not small. "So because of this, you think I can speak for you?"

"Of course, this is something that is good for everyone," Elliott stood up and looked at Alexander. "Think about what the two of us can do. Help me convince the Countess, and I can help you get what you want. Things, maybe you can get more. "

"Get more?" Alexander asked.

"Of course, do you feel that your experience is unfair now, although I don't know who your father is, but just think about your life with your half-sisters can think of your current mood," Egypt Leot whispered, "You think it is unfair, you think the things that belong to you have been taken away by others, but you have no way, and I can help you take them back, as long as the two of us cooperate."

This is really a guy who can figure out people's hearts. Alexander said in his heart, if he is really the illegitimate son of George Anne, maybe he has been impressed by these words.

Alexander couldn't help but admit that this Elliott was completely different from when he first saw him. At that time, he was just a guy who seemed to cheat and eat and drink like Mahimo, but now it seems that this person is not simple.

"Let me think about it," Alexander said. "The conditions I want to put forward are not low."

Elliott smiled indifferently: "I have met more greedy people, this is not a bad thing."

Alexander just wanted to say something more, and a rush of hoofs in the distant night interrupted him.

When the two people looked away, they saw a man riding on the horse and quickly ran towards the farm.

"Come." Alexander murmured to himself, and he looked at Elliot next to him, seeing him licking his lips slightly.

"It's the hunter named Carlo," Elliott pinched the hilt. "To be honest, since I've been with you, I have used the sword more times these days than in the previous year."

"How could the earl's son not use a sword," Alexander looked closely at the hunter running closer and closer, feeling that he was very nervous, because he didn't even care about winding the path, and rushed directly from the field. You will have the opportunity to use a sword again this time. "

The sound of horseshoes also clearly alarmed the people in the farm, and Uliu ran out with a musket.

In the past, because of the danger of losing his life due to the dumb fire, Alexander had to repair another gun that was still intact. He re-installed the flint and smoothed the cap on the gun to make sure. Every time Flint hits, it can spark.

It ’s just that in this place he could n’t find an iron hook that could be deformed by multiple shots. This made Alexander could n’t help thinking. After this trouble, he must find a way to create a real meaning. Flintlock on the gun.

Because there was only one gun left, Alexander had to admit that it seemed that the Moors used it much more flexibly than him, so this only musket became a special weapon for Uliu.

"I'm Carlo!" The hunter named Carlo was obviously very alert and afraid of misunderstanding, so he cried out far away.

"Come here, what do you see?" Alexander greeted.

"I don't know who," Carlo jumped off the horse and took a jug from another villager who ran out of the farm. He took a big sip. "There are many people. They came from the east."

"It's the Countess?" Elliott shook his head as soon as he opened his mouth. "It won't be them. They won't arrive so quickly if they want to go downstream to cross the river."

"It's the Duke," pressure mountain nodded. "They didn't go to the farm on the north bank of Agri, but came here directly after the mountain pass, so they came from the east."

He asked again, "How long will they be here."

"It shouldn't be too long," Carlo pointed to behind him. "They are not familiar with this place and they are at night, but I don't think it will be too long."

Alexander nodded. He looked at the villagers. He did n’t expect these people to help him keep the farm. He just did this to have a foothold in the land of the Agri River. opportunity.

But now it seems that these people are still somewhat useful.

"All go back to the farm," Alexander instructed, "would use weapons to guard several exits of Zhuangzi, and the women returned to the house."

"Master, do we really have to guard here?" Carlo asked a little hesitantly. "Maybe it will be easier to handle things when the countess comes."

Looking at Carlo's worried look at his wife's back, Alexander thought and said, "If you are afraid, you can leave, but you have to think about how those people treated you before. The person who came this time is their leader. , That person is more cruel than the soldiers. So you go home now and have the opportunity to wait for the Countess to come and rescue you, but it may not even be locked on the wooden post until they come. Sunburned, unless you are willing to continue to pay them more taxes than before. "

Carlo gasped heavily, as if he was weighing whether to risk following the young man to guard the farm or to bet on his luck. Those people would be more reasonable.

"Come on, we don't have much time." Alexander seemed indifferent. In fact, he was equally nervous. He knew that Carlo's choice would determine the attitude of other villagers, so he continued to say, "Don't forget that I promised you, You can get a lot of money when the countess comes. "

"Give it when the lady comes?" Carlo asked again.

"Give it when you come," Alexander replied in the same way.

Carol seemed to cheer herself up, clenched her fists and shook her chest, and then nodded mutely, "Okay, we listen to you."

Alexander secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that an almost rebellion had temporarily subsided, but if Ruosha could not arrive in time, the danger might still happen.

The wooden gate of the farm has been closed, a carriage that usually transports goods is blocked in the door, several farm hunters like Carlo are arranged at different exits, and Carlo is arranged to be guarded by Alexander with him door.

"Why didn't you let the hunter go to the roof?" Seeing Uliou climbed the ladder to the roof, and then found a place to look around, Burelli asked strangely, "The Moor may not be able to match these hunters Play more accurately. "

Alexander shook his head. He looked in the direction of Carlo and whispered, "Maybe Carlo can play more accurately, but I don't think he will do that. You think they will be as willing as Frederick's people like us." Fatal fight? "

"Isn't that the case? We just need to keep those people out, and when the lady comes to the Duke, he will definitely have to leave. Since then we don't have to fight the Duke completely."

Burelli looked at Alexander in puzzlement. He seemed to think something was wrong, but he couldn't understand what was going on.

Seeing Burley's confusion, Alexander flashed the thought of "it is so".

In this day and age, unless it is truly a death feud that is about the annihilation of the nation, few people will really regard others as the enemy of life and death.

Few people are willing to forge a little bit of trivial hatred with others, and even the wars between countries are often less than a last resort.

Therefore, it is normal for Burelli to think this way. Even the villagers of Carlo will not think how cruel fighting really takes place, otherwise they may not agree to guard the farm.

People like the Duke of Orleans should be considered aliens of this era.

Alexander's heart flashed over the figure of the French Duke. There were not many people like him who dared to penetrate the enemy's country. What's more incredible was that he actually planned a riot that caused Sicily to fall into civil strife.

"Staring here, I will look elsewhere." Alexander did not answer Burelli's words, but found an excuse to climb up the wooden ladder of the house at Uliou Station.

"Master?" Uliu, who was carefully inspecting the musket, saw Alexander immediately come over.

"Listen to Uliu, I will tell you something." Alexander whispered to the Moors.

Following his words, Uliu was a little puzzled, and then nodded very briskly: "I have listened to your master."

The night was deeper, but no one in the farm could fall asleep. Both men and women were nervously listening to the movements in the fields outside. At this time, even just a trace of wind could cause an upset.

Suddenly, there was a faint noise from far and near, first briefly, and then heavier, the sound of the horseshoe hitting the ground spread to the farm, and everyone was immediately nervous!

"Our wooden gates can't stop those people," a hunter shouted nervously, and the spear in his hand couldn't shake, proving how nervous he was at this time. "This is not hunting, Those people will kill us. "

"Don't panic!" Alexander stood up from behind the fence. He looked at the dark shadows that were already visible to the farm, and at night he could even see the reflection of the arms that could not help swinging around them. .

"As long as we force them back, the Countess will be here." Alexander shouted to the villagers, and at the same time he could not help looking back at the roof behind him.

The people were getting closer and closer, and when they came not far from the farm to slow down, Alexander almost saw their numbers.

"About ... 20 to 30 people." Alexander frowned slightly, and he wanted to find the mask man from among them, only because they were still far away from seeing their faces.

The opponent seemed to have noticed that the atmosphere of the farm was different, so the speed of the knights of the first team was slower, and the people behind started to accelerate to the two sides, and the whole team gradually became a row.

"Open the door, the team of Lord Duke is coming!" Someone in the middle of the team shouted loudly, but only a silence was answered.

"In the name of the Prince of Naples, His Royal Highness the Duke of Frederick," the knight shouted slightly forward with his horse, "I order you to fight ..."

"boom!"

A deafening gunshot suddenly covered the knight's shout ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ With a group of Mars flashing in the air in the dark farmstead, the knight who had been near the Muzha Gate in a scream The gun fell to the ground!

Sudden changes made people inside and outside the farm in chaos!

The horses were unable to hurry and hoarse because of the shock, and the knights hurriedly led the reins and turned to escape to the distance!

"What's the matter?" Bereri shouted in exasperation, his thick arms flared up in anger, and when he looked back he saw Uli standing on the roof of the house busy with the **** smashing the residue in the barrel. Wu Shi, he immediately roared angrily and rushed to the front of the house!

Alexander quickly stood in front of him.

Burleigh yelled, "It's you, did you let that Moorish shoot someone?"

"Don't be stupid, Burelli," Alexander shouted equally, "Do you think they will let you go if you don't hurt them!"

"But this will kill the entire Cosenza family!" Berley's machete shook in front of Alexander. "Did you hate the Cosenza family, or did you hate the husband?" Are all Cosenza unlucky? "

"No matter why, now you have no way out," Alexander raised his finger outside. "Are you going to tell them that you don't want to fight with them, or have you forgotten how they treated the people of the Cosenza family, we have already fought against the Duke ! Are you going to fight with me now or beg to those outside? "

Burelli couldn't help gasping. He was awake from the panic and accident at the beginning, watching Alexander slowly shaking his head. "You will kill everyone here, including yourself."

"No," Alexander turned his head to look out into the fields. "At least Frederick's people can't!"
