Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 43
"Goo Goo!" Trained homing pigeons can reach the target under bad weather conditions. Especially in this era, the communication of important information between kingdoms is basically completed by similar birds. So when the gray white carrier pigeon flew into the house from the snowy window and landed on Heather''s shoulder, the matron was not surprised. She was only a little confused, because judging from the lacquer on the letter carried by pigeons, the letter did not come from Prince hammer''s collar, or even from the Royal Knights'' order. The ferocious lion''s head emblem with its flowery mane would only come from one place, that is, the king''s room of the grey lion king.
It is strange that although the plague was ferocious this time, the area now affected is just a count''s leader, far from endangering the whole kingdom. On the surface, at least. Then, at this time, even if the royal family wants to issue any order, it should first inform Prince hammer, and then the Duke will give it to heather. This is the way to respect the rights of the nobility. In general, there are only two ways to inform their subordinates directly over the enfeoffment aristocrats. One is to inform the loyal lords of rebellion, and the royal family directly sends death orders. Of course, this is completely impossible to happen. The Great Duke of hammer has a long-term friendship with the present King and is a strong supporter of the king. What''s more, Heather has been in charge of the Knights of the hammer for many years, which can be said to be the confidant of Duke liehammer. If the Duke wants to rebel, she can''t be unaware.
Since this possibility is impossible, it can only be another situation - the declaration of total war. The royal family will issue such mobilization orders to the combat forces within the Kingdom only in the event of a threat to the survival of the whole Cang Lion Kingdom, such as the invasion of foreign enemies. However, Cangshi kingdom is located in a corner of the mainland, and has little strategic value. The territory in the territory is not rich and fertile. Since the founding of the people''s Republic of China, there have been few wars. What''s going on here?
With such doubts, Heather tore the varnish off the letter and unfolded it. The knight maid''s brow began to wrinkle as she read the message. This commander, who can still keep calm even when the cheese division and others lost contact, rarely shows his emotional out of control. Heather hit the table in front of him with a subconscious punch. With a loud bang, the wooden table made of thick pine wood ended its mission. The carrier pigeons, frightened by the noise, flew up from Heather''s shoulder and bumped around the house, adding a lot of feathers to the room.
"Damn it, which bastard instigated your majesty to give this order!"
The knight standing guard outside the knight''s house was frightened by the noise inside. He opened the door and rushed in. Then he saw Heather''s eyes staring at the letter as if on fire. Those who are not familiar with Heather are often confused by the knight''s sweet appearance and calm decision. However, these knights who have followed Heather for many years know that there is a reason why their Knights'' title is hammer rose rather than other flowers.
Before he became a commander, Heather was famous for his fierce fighting style and irascible temper. You should know, there are too many nobles and nobles whose legs were broken by the Knight Commander because of his frivolous language at various celebrations. However, as the commander of the order, Heather has been deliberately controlling herself for several years. Now seeing that the matron is so angry, the two knights on guard dare not go up to dissuade him for a moment, and can only watch Heather vent his anger in the house.
For a long time, Heather seemed to calm down, and the two knights dared to ask what had happened to make her so angry. Instead of answering them, Heather threw the king''s secret letter directly into their faces. The two knights quickly checked the contents of the letter. Unlike Heather''s anger, the two knights reacted with shock.
"My Lord, is that true?" Asked a knight.
"Unless someone dares to forge the royal seal in the Kingdom and successfully steal the specially bred carrier pigeon to play with me." Heather replied.
"But, my Lord, if we follow the above-mentioned situation, we will be in a very difficult position..." The knight didn''t finish his words, but judging from his face, the content of the letter was not very good for the Knights of the hammer.
"You two, pass this letter around to everyone, and I''ll give you a choice. Choose whether you want to terminate this mission. " Taking a deep breath, the matron ordered.
After the two knights were ordered to leave, Heather went to the window and looked at the snow covered Creek Valley City. Her brows were locked. Even though she was ambushed in the dark by the mob army, she was not so upset. First of all, it was an official letter, which was obviously sent to nobles all over the Kingdom at the same time. Heather would receive this letter here because the Royal carrier pigeons were really powerful. As for what was said in the king''s secret letter, there were two things in conclusion. The first thing is to tell the recipient that the plague spread in the Earl of Saron will turn people into brainless and twisted monsters. However, the source of this information is not the order of hammer or the order of kingdom that goes deep into the epidemic area, but the association of pharmacists who came later. These pharmacists exaggerate the spread of the plague and the ensuing rat man damage by countless times, describing the plague as a possible natural disaster with no cure at all! If she had not participated in the mission, Heather might have accepted this conclusion, but the Knight Commander knew very well that the pharmacists had only been at the border of the epidemic area for a few days. She even suspected that these guys had not studied the situation of the infected people carefully, so she made this conclusion rashly. But if that''s all, at least Heather still has the last hope of cheese. The mage from the mysterious Outland has a certain understanding of this plague. It is possible to control the spread of this plague over time and even cure it completely. But what did the pharmacists suggest to your majesty when they concluded that there was no cure!In the second half of the letter, the pharmacists claimed that because of the strong infectivity of the plague, they suggested that all infected people should be killed as soon as possible, and that all possible infected persons should be controlled and killed as soon as possible if necessary! What''s the meaning of this? This means that those refugees who have managed to escape from the epidemic area will not be cared for and treated, but will be brutally killed by their compatriots! As a knight, Heather couldn''t accept this kind of command, which was just a simple matter of human life. She vaguely felt that there was a big problem after the order. In her impression, the king in power was not so easy to give such cruel orders. What''s more, she could not imagine how much turmoil and panic this order would cause in the kingdom. Not all the nobles were loved like the Earl of salon. They were called moths and rats were everywhere in the kingdom. The order was like a knife handed to them!
Moreover, as a team going deep into the epidemic area, Heather''s hammer knights and the Kingdom knights who are still missing will be the victims of this decree. Although they will not be killed directly, many noble families who have been offended by these mindless Knights will be very happy to push them. Moreover, the disappearance of cheese, the most important person at the moment, did not Miss Heather''s chance to stop the order. The whole incident would go to the worst.
Of course, at present, the female Knight Commander only thinks that this order will lead to the death of a large number of innocent people. If the cheese master at this time knows about this matter, the mage will curse the person who signed the order with the most vicious curse on the spot, because he has already seen the terrorist potential of the native rat man. He knows that if human beings really push these rat people to a dead end, he or she will go to hell What terrible harm will be brought by the rat man who does not fear to prey on and carry the plague. I am afraid that the winner of the war between man and mouse will not be as simple as people think.
