Lord of Industrialization

Chapter 143 Sending Letters

At noon on April 19, Royce, an old knight of the Roth family, rushed to the military camp in Ansbach and told Count Roth the news of the fall of the castle, the death of his son in battle, and what Frederick said in the early morning.

Count Lot was silent for a long time, and then said to the old knight: You and I will go to see the prince and Ansbach later. Don't say that the lady and the young lady were sent away, just say that they were imprisoned by Wesson and extorted two thousand euros. Rollin’s Ransom.”

Royce was silent for a moment, then agreed.

Then Rudolf saw Count Ansbach jump up from his chair and shouted: Two thousand florins! Why didn't he grab it?!

The prince didn't know why he cared about this matter in the first place. Count Fürth and Count Eichstadt were next to them, but they had good backgrounds, but now was not the time for gossip.

Count Ansbach was surprised, but he immediately calmed down. He did not talk about ransoming people or taking back the castle as Count Lot wanted. Instead, he turned to Rudolf and said: Your Highness, I suggest Ashish Tate's army and Earl Rees will set off tomorrow, and we will attack Hausen City the day after tomorrow.

Rudolf asked: Why don't we help Count Lot take back the castle first?

Count Ansbach replied: Wesson captured the castle in one night, which means that he took away a lot of troops. There must be very few people in Hausen and other cities now.

Rudolf felt that what he said made sense, and the old knight also said that the number of Wesson Lord's troops outside the castle was similar to the total number in the intelligence. The cavalry company and the magician company were all there, and Wesson Castle and Lin The city defense troops from Gencheng also entered the city. As a result, there were no main troops in other cities, only some temporarily recruited militiamen.

Moreover, Wesson's army had just experienced a big battle, so they had to rest there for a day. If they went to Fort Roth tomorrow, they would have had enough rest, and they would be very tired when they arrived.

So Rudolf agreed to Count Ansbach's battle plan and immediately sent out messengers.

Naturally, everyone present did not know that these were all things that Frederick deliberately saw and let them know. In addition, what Frederick said in the early morning made them really think that Frederick was really doing this. Call to facilitate conversation.

No one could have imagined that Wesenland's army was equipped with a large number of horse-drawn carriages for transportation, and the territory had been mobilized. Sufficient logistical support allowed the troops to conduct high-intensity continuous operations.

As soon as the morning broadcast ended, in the area south of Langnar City in the southern Wesen Territory, peasant women from dozens of surrounding villages began to be busy in the drying field outside the village under the leadership of the village.

Some people set up stoves, some fetched water, some made noodles, some started washing vegetables and cutting meat, and some were preparing horse feed.

The materials were all shipped last night, and all villages must prepare meat-wrapped steam bread and vegetable soup before noon.

Thomas and his friends were also assigned tasks in their Red Nile Pine Village. The drying ground here is not big, but the place where materials are stored next to the wood processing factory is quite large, and there is a direct road to it. It is very convenient to prepare food and arrange for people to have meals here.

Hozenplots! Thomas said to someone who was lighting a fire. When the fire is lit, go to the intersection and wait. Don't let them go the wrong way.

Why let me go? Huo Zhenplozi was a little unhappy.

Thomas didn't care whether he liked it or not, he smiled and said, You are a hero now. Maybe the principal will give you a medal and your photo will be published in the newspaper.

Huo Zhenplozi's face suddenly darkened. It would be terrible if this happened. What if his past as a thief was revealed.

Let Liheer go. He said, She also put in a lot of effort yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Thomas said: No, no, it will be a loss for our village if such a powerful girl like Lihere is married off. We have to keep her in the village... Sigh... If you have something to say... don't use the knife!

Liheer was cutting meat and immediately chased the village chief with a knife. The surroundings were filled with laughter.

Just when Thomas was about to become stuffed buns, a messenger arrived on horseback.

Thomas was surprised at first and then relieved when he heard the news he brought.

He went back and said to everyone: Don't be so anxious, they need to take a nap first and come here at almost dusk in the afternoon.

Then he said seriously to Huo Zhenplozi: You'd better go pick them up, and lead the way when they leave. You also know that we have many mountains and trails here, and you will go the wrong way if you are not careful.

Huo Zhenplozi had no choice but to agree. He often went to the surrounding villages to do small business, and he would go wrong at the beginning. Once, he went to the south to get the goods by mistake.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a man and a horse came to the outside of the village from the mountain path. When they saw the aroma of food wafting from the lumber factory, they rushed over.

Let's have some food. After he jumped off his horse, he walked to the long table in the open space and sat down, throwing a few coins on the table.

Then he asked: Are you celebrating the holidays here today?

Thomas was just about to go over, but he was immediately pulled back by Huo Zhenploz and Liher, who at the same time winked at the other village girls not to move.

Liher took two buns from the steamer, sat next to the man, and said delicately: Master, you came at the right time. Our village is celebrating the start of rosin picking today. It will be dusk. Dinner is ready.

Thomas and the surrounding village girls were immediately shocked. They had never seen her speak like this before.

The man picked up the buns and compared them, and replied: Where are you, and how can I get there if I want to go to Eichstadt?

Liher immediately replied: We are Master Reese's territory here, and you have to go further east.

On the other side, Thomas followed Hozenplozzi into his home and saw him take out a clay pot from a box.

Thomas asked him strangely: What are you doing?

Huo Zhenplozi replied: That man is a soldier. There is a mailbox in his horse bag. He should be delivering letters, but he is not from our side. It seems that he took the wrong road in the mountains.

He said, taking out a smaller clay bottle from the clay pot.

Thomas took a breath and said, Then we have to catch him.

Huo Zhenplozi walked out with the bottle and said at the same time: I think so too.

Back at the lumber mill, Huo Zhenpuloz poured a little powder into his hand, clenched his fists in his hands, and brought another bowl of vegetable soup over.

The messenger was flirting with Liheer and didn't notice someone bringing something over.

Just as he was breathing normally, exhaling a breath, and preparing to inhale, Huo Zhenplozi loosened his fist slightly, blew a breath from one end, and blew the powder onto his face.

The man was shocked at first, but he still inhaled a lot of powder, and his eyes suddenly became blurry.

When Thomas saw Huo Zhenploz gesture to him, he immediately came to the newly built village hall and turned on the communicator.

More than an hour later, dawn fell from the sky, and Frederick rushed over after receiving various notifications.

The messenger was lying on the table snoring, and he still smelled of alcohol.

What's going on? he asked Thomas when he was delivering the safety belt, Are you sure it's the messenger?

Thomas and the others saw the Winged Unicorn for the first time. After Frederick jumped down, he came back to his senses and replied: It was from the Ansbach Army Camp to deliver a message to the mountain mercenaries under the Eichstadt Army. Ask them to dispatch according to the time in the mailbox, and he doesn’t know the specific time.”

Frederick asked: Is the news true?

Thomas pointed at Hozenplots and said: He drugged people, and they said whatever they asked.

I asked, this man is Count Ansbach's messenger.

Over there, Hozenplotz and Liher had already opened the mailbox and taken out the letter inside.

Frederick looked at it again and curled his lips. He still used paper produced in his own territory.

The letter stated that Lotland had been breached and asked them to set off to attack Langnar City early tomorrow morning.

Frederick thought for a while, then turned to Thomas and asked: I remember that you study painting. Can you forge a letter?

Thomas immediately replied: No problem, I also have this kind of paper, I can forge one.

Frederick nodded and said: Then write a letter right away. Don't change anything. Just ask them to go out overnight and be sure to surround Langnar City early tomorrow morning.

Thomas immediately went back to get paper and pen. After practicing several times, he wrote a letter according to Frederick's wishes. Finally, he traced the signature and signed the names of Rudolf and Count Ansbach, and used a hot iron sheet to seal the fire paint. Come down and glue it on, replace the chimney and use the same method to restore the fire paint mark on it to prevent it from opening.

Not long after Frederick left, Liher slapped the messenger awake: Master, wake up!

The messenger jumped up and said in surprise: Why did I fall asleep just now?

Liher pointed to the empty wine bottle on the table and replied: Hey, didn't you just say you wanted to drink some wine and then take a nap after drinking it?

The messenger scratched his head and couldn't remember clearly. It seemed that this was indeed the case.

He looked up and saw that it was getting late, and hurriedly mounted his horse, heading towards the Eichstadt territory in the east.
