Chapter 327 Stirrup Wine

Gervadin.

As the hussars lined up, Colonel Scull strolled down the St. George's River, taking a final inspection of the familiar and unfamiliar city.

The stone pavement is shrouded in the smoke of light azure, the middle of the street burns with piles of pine branches and wormwood, and the air is filled with a strange fragrance - which is said to ward off the plague.

There are huge logs drifting upstream through the smoky curtain.

The logs were pulled ashore by boatmen, and men with sharp axes had been waiting for a long time. The branching branches are chopped for firewood, and the thick trunks are sent to the rumbling hydraulic sawmills.

It takes wood to rebuild homes and fuel for winter heating.

The rebel government has lifted logging restrictions, and the material and energy accumulated in the forest for centuries is being re-released.

School's gaze rested on the giant waterwheel outside the workshop - while one sawmill was in use, five more were being built.

The sound of hoofs was crisp, and Colonel Geisa rode a black horse and walked quickly to Skool.

"What are you looking at?" Geisa asked.

School sniffed the scent of pine wood in the air: "Actually, I'm not quite clear either."

Gaisa followed School's gaze and couldn't help laughing: " Isn't it a waterwheel?"

"It's a waterwheel." Skool replied, "It's not just a waterwheel."

dong!
dong!
dong!
Rhythmic dull tremors echoed back through the air.

Across the river, the towering wooden towers are faintly discernible in the mist.

"Well, not just waterwheels." Geisa smacked his lips: "And pile drivers."

Across the river, thousands of ordinary persons were doing a A very uncommon thing in winter - building a house.

The weather was cold and the construction was difficult, so those people built a lot of construction machinery: tower pile drivers, Crane driven by animal power, mobile cranes...

Those Humans use giant machines that are only used in major projects such as building churches, fortresses, and palaces, but the houses they build are ridiculously rudimentary.

What kind of house is that?
Four wooden stakes are nailed to the plank to form the four walls, and then the roof, which is also made of planks, is fastened and the construction is completed. It's more of a prison than a house.

Meanwhile, at the construction site on the other side.

"Come on to me a little more!" Mason's voice was hoarse, and he waved his arms wildly, directing Crane's operator: "Okay! Okay! Put it down! Put it down! Slow down! One point!"

The roof that was hoisted to the in midair slowly lowered, and after the roof was firmly seated, the carpenter with a small hammer removed the bracket and fixed the roof.

Different from the normal process of building a house, where the "beams are built first, and the roof is being built", the houses that Mason is responsible for building are all pre-built roofs on the ground, and then hoisted up with Crane.

The people of Tiefeng County, who were stunned at first, are now not surprised.

If anyone thinks these houses look like prisons - they're absolutely right!

Because the design of these houses is completely copied from the board house of the labor ranch where Mason once worked.

What's more, in order to further save building materials, these prefab houses in Rewodan also adopted the "column" structure. That is, the house is next to the house, and one wall and two houses are used, which greatly saves wood.

You must know that even the board house of the labor pasture can barely be called a "single house". And Gervodin's prefabricated room is inferior to the prisoner's prefabricated room.

The townhouses of Hailan are stone buildings, which are solid and heavy, and have strong sound insulation ability.

The townhouses in Gervodin, the two houses are only separated by a thin layer of wooden boards, which can't isolate anything except the sight.

But the people of Tiefeng County who are building these prefab houses can't wait to move in. Everyone worked hard for this, racing against time to build.

Because in addition to the women and children who were evacuated to the old city, the overwhelming majority of the people of Tiefeng County who were stranded in Revodan still had only simple tents that could not keep out the cold.

And the weather is getting colder every day.

So aesthetics and comfort are out of the question at the moment.

Construction sites, men, women, the elderly, children—construction workers who are not construction workers have a clear and orderly division of labor.

Anyone who participated in the preparations for the battle of Gervodan could see at a glance that these men, women and children continued to use the form of organization during the fortification period.

Even when defending the city, "whoever builds the City Wall section will go to the City Wall section to defend it", building a house is also "whoever builds the prefabricated houses will live in the prefabricated houses".

Coordinator of the house construction project Mason looked at the busy construction site and suddenly felt a little worried: "This... is probably the most humiliating work of my life."

"Your Excellency? "[Demon] Anse, whose half of his face was covered with terrifying birthmarks, noticed the strangeness and asked, "Aren't you happy? Isn't the project going well?"

"It's easy to build." Mason smacked his lips. : "It will be difficult to demolish in the future."

"Demolish? Why do you want to demolish it?" Demon Ance's mood was as cold as ever: "But it's not difficult to demolish, this kind of wood plank house, a The fire will burn it down."

Mason shook the head with a wry smile, and suddenly thought of something, his expression became horrified: "Broken! These houses...will not be called 'Mason's House' in the future. Right?"

...

"And now?" Gaisa asked Skool, "Do you think a colonel's uniform can bribe them?"

Skool looked indifferent: "At least I'm pretty sure now that Captain Montagne will never be bought."

...

"Negotiation?" Andre asked Winters: "Can you really trust them?"

"Trust is one thing." Winters sighed: "But I always feel like they can't really accept us."

 …

p>

"Doesn't letting them go is raising tigers?" Gaisa brows tightly frowns.

......

Andre propped his chin, and said nonchalantly: "After all, there will be a battle sooner or later."

......

"At present, the cost of using martial power will be far beyond the limit we can accept." Skool looked at the busy silhouette on the other side of the river and at Geisa: "When he allocates the land, Things are going to get even more troublesome.”

…

Winters’ mood was a little gloomy: “They want to negotiate, so let’s negotiate. The current situation in Iron Peak County, so do you. I know."

...

"You know the situation right now." Skull said heavily: "Anyway, at least stabilize them first. Must avoid troubles, Disrupting the 'more important' strategy."

...

"Anyway, if there's less bloodshed." Winters made up his mind: "It's better to have less blood. Bleeding."

...

The hussars were already gearing up, and Colonel Skool and Colonel Geisa stepped on their horses.

In addition to the originally scheduled see-offs, many soldiers from Iron Peak County and citizens of Gervoudan came to see them off spontaneously.

Winters held his wine glass steadily and walked slowly to the three officers' horses.

According to the Palatine tradition, in the case of a hostess, the "stirrup wine" should be served by the hostess.

However, Winters is determined to personally deliver the stirrup wine to the three officers, so there is no attractive spectacle kissing the hostess today.

Winters was reluctant to say those frivolous rhetoric. Standing in front of the horse team, he raised his hand to salute extremely solemnly.

Anyway, Winters was grateful to them from the bottom of their hearts, when these Platonic cavalry came to Ironpeak with their sabres when the Heards invaded.

As vulgar as it may sound, sharing hatred is always the fastest way to build friendships. I once fought bloody side by side with "comrades", but now it is always a bit reluctant to part.

Andre was the most emotional, and his eyes were a little red. That is, there is no alcohol in Tiefeng County, which makes everyone more rational.

In strict accordance with the Platonic customs, the two would have hugged each other drunkenly, with tears and snot, and said some strange things by now.

"Okay, okay." Colonel Geisa shuddered: "Don't say anything nasty, I can't accept it."

"Actually, I still hope You can stay in Tiefeng County for a while longer."

"Don't worry, how can there be no plague during wars?" Repeating the old story, Gaisa felt helpless: "There are a lot of people gathered, so naturally I will get sick. When the refugees disperse in a few days, the Aachen plague will naturally disappear."

There have been many conversations on this matter. I couldn't convince Colonel Geisa before, and the few words at the farewell were impossible to convince him.

Winters sorted out his emotions and nodded in salute: "Thank you."

"You better go and thank Colonel Bode." Colonel Geisa grabbed the bare back of his head, speaking at a rapid rate Quickly: "Besides, we're not here to help you. The Hurds, no matter what you want to kill... It's all to blame for General Adams, what [interception strategy] is, it's just bullshit! If Tiefeng County is finished, then he Didn't the German go back to wasteland from Iron Peaks by turning a corner? What's the use of his interception at the border river in Vigne... We have to wipe his ass..."

Winters Colonel Sa defended himself by himself, took another glass of wine and walked to Major Ronald's horse.

"I'm sorry, Major."

Major Ronald smiled and looked the head, took the glass and drank it.

Finally, Winters walked up to Colonel Skool's horse with a glass of wine.

School took the wine glass, stared at the younger generation who was a lot late in front of him, sighed, and the last sentence left after a thousand words: "If you came to Leiqun County... that would be good. I'm done."

Winters didn't say anything, just nodded.

......

Behind the window on the second floor of the city hall, a man in a mask silently watched the farewell people.

"You just go with us, Morrow." Another lieutenant in a hussar uniform tugged at the masked man's sleeve and persuaded bitterly: "You still have fiancee waiting for you! "

Captain Morrow was silent.

The hussar captain knew that this fellow in front of him would be as stubborn as a rock once he made up his mind.

The cavalry could move out at any time, and the captain of the hussars asked anxiously and exasperatedly: "Why on earth are you staying here, at least you have to convince me?"

"There are many more A lot of people, like I was before, were driven like slaves by the Heards." Captain Morrow looked towards the back who was serving the stirrup wine: "The guy said he would... no, he said he could bring our people back ...so I won't leave here for the time being."

The hussar captain was speechless, he stomped his foot: "Then you must at least write a letter to Dunia! Let her know that you are still alive! "

Morrow touched the mask unconsciously, and the cold touch of the iron mask returned to his fingertips. He said coldly: "It's better for her to think I'm dead."

...

The sharp bugle sounded, and the majestic hussars rode out of the city. The battle in Vigne was not over, and the hussars continued to wield their sabres.

However, for the people of Tiefeng County, the departure of the hussars was like a kind of "sign", dividing tomorrow and yesterday into two parts.

Although there are still a small group of Terdon people wandering in the Lower Iron Peak County, although the enemy from Vigne County has to be prevented from entering the Iron Peak County, although rebuilding their homes is extremely difficult, but the darkest days are finally over. Now, people can start to look forward to some good things to come.

Along with the hussars of Palato was Antonio Seretti.

Antonio is in the military and is impossible to stay in Iron Peak for a long time.

He came with only one squad escort, and left with the same squad escort—plus Lieutenant Don Juan.

Don Juan came to Iron Peak to bring Winters back to Veneta. But for now, this is already a task accomplished by Impossible.

According to Hu Senior Brother An's own statement, the weather in September is not bad, and it is too cold in Palatu now, he is a little homesick...

Respect Don Juan In my own will, Winters did not force Senior to stay, and Antonio did not force Lieutenant Juan to stay.

As for Lieutenant Colonel Moritz... After a closed-door conversation with Moritz, Antonio made a "personnel adjustment".

Moritz received an oral appointment. In terms of organization, he is no longer affiliated with the third "Great Veneta" Legion, but has become a member of the [Venetta Military Advisory Group] ——That is, the military entity that will theoretically provide assistance to the Second Republic of Palatu.

What Winters didn't realize was that Antonio had already assigned him the best of his men.

......

Antonio, Hu Senior Brother An, Ronald, Geisa... Many people left at once, and Winters' heart suddenly became empty, even changed. Got a little confused.

Fortunately, he finally had plenty of time to tease the puppy, brush Changsheng, sleep, and most importantly - be with Anna.

But Anna... Anna has Anna's troubles.

There will definitely be another chapter on the weekend! I promise! Not FLAG! This chapter is actually Thursday!
