Chapter 63, the battle of shame

"Get together." A loud sound rang out, followed by a sharp copper whistle, and the soldiers in the open space in the camp changed out like magic.

"Very good." Lanbert was carrying a copper whistle around his neck. He looked at the group of soldiers who gathered together on time with satisfaction. Rudolph's soldiers were used to emergency gatherings. This kind of whistle sounded regardless of day or night, as long as the whistle sounded, the soldiers must gather on time. Those who could not keep up or missed would be corporal punishment.

"Always be alert." Rudolph said to the soldiers.

"Always be alert." The soldiers stood straight and shouted to Rudolf.

"Let's start." Rudolph turned his head and looked at the dean of the convent. The dean of the convent took away his five Schwartz boys. These teenagers were originally just Rudolph's father. Earl Schwartz deliberately gave him the old, weak, sick and disabled, but he saw the plasticity of these children, so he asked the dean of the convent to train them into small drummers and fluteers.

"Ba, bha." The female consort clapped her hands, and the young men who were already carrying a small drum and holding a wooden flute immediately began to play.

As the drum beats, Randolph picked up the sword in his hand and let the soldiers walk. Sure enough, with the rhythm of drum beats, each soldier can step on the drum beats, so that the entire queue will appear much neat.

"It works, your solution." Maxiu walked over and said to Rudolf.

"This is just the beginning, but as long as you have a holistic awareness, you can slowly shape it." Rudolf looked at this newly formed army. He knew that an army with real combat effectiveness could not be successfully built in one go. Although he taught military rules and discipline to the soldiers, whether an army can fight requires consideration of all factors.

"My Lord Rudolph, my informant is back from Schwarz County, and they bring new news." Matthew said to Rudolph.

"What news? Can't Kaitrisy defeat the rebels?" Rudolph frowned. He felt very conflicted. Rudolph's own legion still needs training and running in, so he does not want Kaitrisy to defeat the Flagless Brotherhood soon.

"No, Ketrisy failed. He lost all the troops he handed over to him. Now he and his vassals retreated back to Schwartzburg." Marseille shook his head and said to Rudolf.

"How could this be, how could this be possible?" Rudolf couldn't believe his ears. No matter how stupid the Earl Schwartz's army was, it was a well-equipped army that had experienced war. It was actually defeated by the mob peasant uprising army?

"My people saw the whole process. At the beginning, Count Schwartz's army had an absolute advantage. The Flagless Brotherhood retreated step by step, and they fled into the forest." Matthew said to Rudolf.

"Forest?" Rudolph felt something was wrong when he heard it. Perhaps the aristocrats in the Middle Ages were used to the dignified battles, but Rudolph knew the power of unconventional battles in later generations.

"Are they ambushed in the forest?" Rudolf immediately asked Maxiu.

"How do you know that Lord Rudolph, it is not a simple ambush. The Flagless Brotherhood has turned the entire forest into a huge trap. The noble soldiers are like mice breaking into the cat group. The knights cannot charge in the forest, and some of the knights have been introduced into the muddy swamp." Maxiu sighed. He admired these Flagless Brotherhood people in his heart, but he is now Rudolph, so of course he cannot gloat in his position.

"Damn it." Rudolph couldn't help but say, shocked by Ketrisy's stupidity. Didn't he even think about sending scouts?

"The nobles' army returned after they were defeated, and the morale of the Flagless Brotherhood was greatly boosted. Not only did they get a large amount of weapons and armor, but many peasants oppressed by the nobles joined them when they heard the news." Maxiu patted his thighs with both hands. Kaitrisy's failure was simply a disaster level.

"Where are they now?" Rudolph also felt that the matter was serious. It would be bad if he had not returned to Schwarz County but had he been captured.

"They surrounded Schwartzburg," Matthew said to Rudolph.

There were crowds of people outside Schwarzburg, but the castle seemed silent. The injured soldiers sat there in groups of three or three on the castle square. They were completely depressed and their eyes were completely lost. Some people hugged their heads and fell into deep fear.

"Woo woo woo woo woo." A soldier's forehead was wrapped in linen. Although his injuries were not serious from the outside, his body was constantly shaking.

“Ah~~.”

“Retreat, retreat.”

"The Virgin Mary."

The soldiers' ears seemed to constantly echo the wails of their companions in the forest, arrows, daggers and vicious enemy faces, blood splattered everywhere, as if the whole world had been dyed red.

"Hey." Suddenly, one hand was placed on his shoulder. The soldier seemed to be frightened and instinctively raised his head and looked at the man in horror.

"Are you okay? Do you want to eat something?" The young girl's face appeared in front of him. The soldier saw clearly that it was the maid in the castle, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, I won't eat." The fear made him feel no hungry at all, but he still said to the girl gratefully.

"My name is Jenny, and I am the maid in the castle. If you need water and food, you can call me." Jenny said to the soldiers gently.

"Thank you, thank you." The soldier shook his lips dullly and said gratefully to Jenny.

"Since you have come back, it is God's will. Don't think about it anymore." Jenny comforted the soldiers.

"Ah, yes, this is God's will. Thank God." Jenny's words made the soldiers feel a little relaxed. Yes, since she was able to come back alive, it means that God still favored her. When she thinks about it, she feels much less fear.

On the tower of the castle, Mrs. Agnes stood at the window and looked at the enemies outside the castle. She felt a headache. The noble army of Schwarzshire was defeated in this way, while their enemies were growing. It seemed that the rebels of Schwarzshire were attracted here like magnets.

"Sorry, madam, I couldn't dissuade Catrisy." Bishop Albert said to Agnes in a embarrassing manner. His bishop-like helmet was thrown away. The sludge on his face was not wiped clean. Under the protection of the religious knights, he finally rescued Catrisy back.
