Chapter 81 Transfer of Power
In the manor of the Jeanne family, the chirping of insects and birds was still there.
But the atmosphere in the castle was solemn.
One of Jeanne's own intelligence officers was reporting in a low voice.
"Ms. Ainolin, according to the intelligence we received, Your Excellencies Dora and Victor encountered an ambush when they were retreating from the high ground near the forest farm." The intelligence officer already had some fear on his face: " Then the enemy's four infantry regiments continued to pursue Lord Victor's army until they fled into the Silver Wing Knights' station." When
Enolin heard this, her face turned pale and she almost fainted.
Although Dora is cowardly and occasionally eats outside, the couple actually have a very good relationship.
After supporting each other for so many years, there may not be much love, but the family affection is at least sufficient.
In addition, her son Victor was also in the infantry regiment, which made Enolin even more panicked.
Mrs. Anna's face was also full of uneasiness and anxiety, and she kept wringing her hands.
Enolin finally came back to her senses and asked, "Are there any other situations?" "
His Excellency Hardy was blocked when he led the army out of the city through a military thoroughfare. However, he made a prompt decision and led his scouts from the city. Leave the main city gate and let the rest of the army return to the manor." The intelligence officer gasped.
When Enolin heard this, she felt a little better: "Hardy is still very reliable. He can still bravely go out of the city to fight despite such an obvious disadvantage. Obviously we did not trust the wrong person."
Mrs. Sissi nodded.
Mrs. Anna's expression seemed a little tangled.
"Has Hardy's army returned to the manor?" Enolin asked.
The intelligence officer nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Hardy's adjutant is already waiting for your summons outside."
"Let him in quickly."
After a while, Rogge walked in quickly wearing leather armor.
Because of the huge identity gap, Rogge didn't even dare to look up at the three ladies above.
"Hadi asked you to come back to guard the manor?" Enolin asked.
"Indeed, and the master asked us to only obey Mrs. Sissi's command."
Enolin was stunned for a moment: "Only obey Sissi's command?"
"Yes." Rogge's voice was trembling when he answered.
The three women in the room were all stunned.
After a while, Enolin said: "In other words, Hardy even thinks that I, an old woman, am unreliable."
After saying that, she let out a long sigh.
Mrs. Sissi said quickly: "Maybe when Hardy gave the order, time was too tight and he only mentioned my name."
Ainolin seemed to feel better.
At this time, Rogge suddenly interrupted and said: "The master specially emphasized that he only listens to Mrs. Sissi's orders."
Mrs. Sissi was very embarrassed.
Ms. Ainolin could only smile bitterly.
Mrs. Anna was on the side, with a faint look of jealousy on her face.
After a while, Enolin waved her hand gently and said: "You should retreat first and follow Hardy's order."
Rogge breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.
"Sissi, you and Anna stay at home." Enolin stood up.
"Mom, what are you going to do?"
"I have to settle the score with the old king. He dared to lie to me."
Sissi pursed her lips. In the past, she would not say anything or dare to say anything her mother wanted to do.
But now, she suddenly felt a little irritable and couldn't help but said: "Mother, why don't you stay at home." Ainoline was stunned, she turned back and looked at Sissi in surprise: "You, this is What do you mean?"
Mrs. Sissi was a little scared in her heart. After all, she had grown up under the majesty of her mother since she was a child. Even now, she still fears and respects her mother.
But... there are some things that she has really understood recently: "Just wait, we have no experience in dealing with this kind of thing. Wait until Hardy comes back, okay?"
Enolin wanted to say something, but she couldn't. From her daughter's eyes, she saw her own persistence for the first time.
She was stunned for a while, then sat down again.
"Yes, I just said before that I would let you young people take power, why did I forget it!"
Mrs. Sissi breathed a sigh of relief.
She is now really afraid that her mother will mess up again.
The great situation that I had managed to create by following Hardy's advice was completely ruined by my mother in just two or three nights.
This can't happen again.
Hadi sent his troops back to the manor for what purpose?
Madam Sissi’s brain calculations were fully activated at this time.
To prevent Jeanna's manor from being raided?
Just follow my orders?
Obviously he was afraid that his mother would mess up!
She felt that she had guessed Hardy's intention, and after firming up her thoughts, she became more confident.
"Next, we just wait."
"Wait until Hardy comes back, or he sends someone to deliver the news. Then we can make further plans."
Enolin looked at her daughter with more and more determined eyes, and she felt a little depressed in her heart. , disappeared in an instant.
"Okay!"
She smiled and sat down.
The three women waited quietly in the castle.
But before waiting long, a guard rushed in. Without even having time to salute, he shouted: "Three ladies, something serious has happened. Nearly three hundred enemies have come outside and have surrounded our front door."
Enolin stood up suddenly, her face looking very ugly.
Did the old king really take action against the Jeanna family?
She could already imagine that if her daughter had not stopped her just now, she would have gone to the old king angrily to argue with her. Not only would there be no result, but she would have been arrested by them and become a hostage threatening her husband and daughter.
"I'm such a useless old thing," Ainoline muttered to herself.
Mrs. Sissi also heard her mother's murmur, but now she couldn't control that much anymore and said hurriedly: "Butler, let all the dead soldiers guard the manor first, and then let Adjutant Rogge come over."
Soon, Rogge came He jogged in and got down on one knee.
"Does Hardy have any other instructions?"
"No." Rogge shook his head: "The master asked us to only follow Mrs. Sissi's command."
Mrs. Sissi took a deep breath, and her chest became more majestic: "That manor You, the people of Hexi County, are solely responsible for the deployment of defense. You will also temporarily command the dead soldiers in my manor. Can you bear this responsibility?"
Rogge did not speak, hesitating a little.
The air is gradually solidifying.
Enolin stood up, wanting to speak, but sat back abruptly.
Madam Sissi's expression remained unchanged, and her voice was still as gentle and gentle as before.
"If Hardy were here, how would he solve this problem?"
Rogge suddenly raised his head: "If the master were here, he would take over everything." "
Then follow your master's past habits and deploy the entire defense system. Manor."
"Yes!"
Rogge stood up, and he suddenly felt that the tone of Mrs. Sissi's words seemed to be somewhat similar to his own master.
