Chapter 534: rebellion five
In the dead of night, the sound of knocking on the door seemed so out of place.
Lieutenant Colonel Carter Hawley, commander of the 8th Infantry Battalion, opened the door of his room sleepily.
He complained displeasedly: "Lord of the light, what happened?"
Standing at the door was his guard. The guard stood up straight and gave a military salute, then handed him a note.
"Sir, the sentry on guard has received a note, which seems to be a hand letter from Graham."
"Master Graham?"
Hearing that the hand letter was from the lord, Carter Hawley was shocked and dispelled a lot of drowsiness.
He received the note handed over by the guard, and immediately opened it to read the information on it.
Upon seeing it, the lieutenant colonel was shocked. He grabbed the guard's hand and asked impatiently:
"Who sent this note?"
"Uh..." the guard stammered.
"Say it!" The lieutenant colonel urged his guards in a very stern tone.
"A...big parrot..."
A look of disbelief appeared on the guard's face.
"Big parrot? What are you talking about? Now is not the time to joke around." The lieutenant colonel seriously criticized the guard in front of him.
"Lieutenant Colonel, I'm not joking, it was sent by a parrot."
The guard replied seriously, "It was Ochoa, the sentinel at the No. This note is tied to the paw."
Well, Lieutenant Colonel Hawley decided to take the guard's words as truth first.
"You immediately send someone to wake up all the officers and soldiers, but you don't need to gather for the time being, let them stay in the barracks and wait for the call."
"Yes, sir!"
…
Twenty minutes later, in the battalion headquarters office of the 8th Infantry Battalion, Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel Carter Hawley and Battalion Instructor Maj. Par Cobb looked at Paul's warrant.
Lieutenant Colonel Hawley held the note to the candlelight and observed it repeatedly, "It's unmistakable. This is indeed Master Graham's handwriting. It's so ugly...I'm very impressed by such a unique handwriting."
"I think so, too." Instructor Pal Cobb agreed. Both of them knew the lord's handwriting.
"but…"
He glanced at the green parrot standing on the table in front of him.
"The identity and appearance of this [Communication Soldier] are too unbelievable."
Lieutenant Colonel Hawley said, "I don't think so. Since pigeons can send messages, why can't parrots."
"But that's the ability to use pigeons to find their nests. The parrot's nest is obviously not in our camp. I haven't even seen it. How did it find us here?"
Lieutenant Colonel Hawley waved his hand and said, "Anyway, since Lord Graeman wrote this warrant himself, something must have happened in Babor Village, yes!"
Lieutenant Colonel Hawley suddenly slapped his palm, and suddenly realized: "Isn't the nearest garrison to Babor Village our 8th Infantry Battalion? It is very logical for the lord to ask for help from the nearest army in a critical situation." .”
"You're right." Major Cobb agreed with Lieutenant Colonel Hawley's inference.
"In this case, no matter what happens, we should rush to Babor Village to have a look."
"But..." Major Cobb said with some embarrassment: "Babor Village is nearly a day's journey from our place."
Lieutenant Colonel Hawley stood up and walked around a few times, suddenly he raised his head, looked at Major Cobb and said, "I'll contact the mayor of this city and ask him to recruit a batch of horses for us. The whole battalion rode to the village of Babor."
"Okay, let's do it!"
Major Cobb nodded approvingly.
"That's right!" Major Cobb suddenly thought of something, "We have to use the signal station to report this matter to Huxin Town immediately."
…
In Huxin Town, the militiamen who heard the news of the lord's assassination were inexplicably horrified.
Lord Paul Greiman was actually assassinated? The powerful lord, the lord who wiped out the pirates, the lord who defeated the Kent family, such a powerful person, was assassinated just like that?
Bulgan on the podium looked at the militiamen who were in a state of shock, and continued to shout: "Now, in order to stabilize the situation and prevent turmoil, we need to impose martial law on Huxin Town immediately. Unfortunately, the original Huxin Town The garrison has gone out for field training, and now only you, the militia, can use it. I declare—”
Bulgan shouted: "The original training plan has been cancelled, and the mission of the militia at this stage has been changed to martial law in Huxin Town."
At this time, there were more than two thousand militiamen gathered in front of his eyes. It was a considerable military force, and it also mastered military skills such as formation, marching, sword operation, and firearm operation.
"Now, follow your respective instructors and go to the armory to get weapons, each with a musket."
…
The administrator of the armory looked at the officer in front of him who asked to go in to get a gun with a embarrassed face. Behind the officer were the militiamen who looked bewildered.
"However, we have not been notified..."
"What time is it now, are you still waiting for the notice?" The officer shouted at him.
"But…"
"Come on, take down this person who obstructed the military operation immediately!"
Two burly guards flashed out from behind the officer, and they knocked down the armory manager to the ground without any explanation.
"You can't be like this! Woohoo—"
His mouth was gagged.
"Everyone! Follow me in to get the weapons!"
The officer waved his hand at the militiamen behind him.
…
When Schroeder, the chief of staff who stayed in Huxin Town, learned of the change of the militiamen, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He is now in his house.
My chief of staff—the number one military officer other than Paul—did not participate in the field training, but stayed in Huxin Town.
Logically speaking, no matter how big things happened, Bulgan should come to ask himself first.
Why do nighttime assemblies outside of the training program occur? Why do you want to break into the armory to collect weapons in spite of the regulations?
This is definitely a problematic operation~www.readwn.com~ Maybe... a rebellion!
"I must immediately go before the militiamen and reveal to them that this is a conspiracy!"
Schroeder was very anxious, he said to his police officer.
"Lord Schroeder, no! Now the entire barracks may have fallen under the control of the rebel organizers—if this is indeed a rebellion! Wouldn't it be a trap if you went there?"
"You're right!" The guard's words made Schroeder calm down.
"We must first find a military force we can rely on—a force other than the militia in Huxin Town."
"If it is not a rebellion, that is the best! But if unfortunately it is a rebellion, then we can use our military power to fight against it."
Schroeder made a decision immediately.
"Prepare my horse quickly! I want to go to Huxin Town immediately before they find out."
