MTL - Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World-Chapter 546 Rebellion Eighteen

Most of the rebels at this time were busy avoiding bullets, and few of them noticed that their interim commander, Fergusa, was running away. Those who noticed, without exception, chose to escape with Fergus.

They passed through the ranks amidst screams and cries of terror.

"Drive!" Fergus kept shaking the reins, his legs clamped the saddle tightly, as if growing with it, and at the same time his upper body was lowered to reduce the probability of being shot.

But when he ran about 500 meters ahead, he pulled the reins vigorously, and the high-speed horse immediately neighed and raised its front hooves, and stopped with difficulty.

In the direction he was heading, a row of black shadows stood there quietly, giving Fergus the feeling that they were waiting for him specially.

Judging from their posture, everyone was pointing their muskets at him. Fergus had no doubt that if he continued to move forward, he would be beaten into a sieve.

With a clang, Fergus drew out his knight long sword and looked ahead warily.

There was a sound of horseshoes trampling on muddy water, and several knights came out from the nearby forest.

"I really didn't expect it!"

The leader spoke, which made Fergus feel a sense of deja vu.

As the person continued to approach, with the help of the reappearing moonlight—the rain had stopped and the dark clouds had begun to dissipate—Fergus recognized the person's face.

"Carter Hawley?" Fergus frowned.

"It's me. Fergus... Sir, I really didn't expect that you actually betrayed Lord Paul Greiman, and you are also the main figure in the rebels."

Lieutenant Colonel Hawley, the tent of the 8th Infantry Battalion, had a heartbroken expression. The family of the knight in front of him had been loyal to the Greiman family for generations. Why did he suddenly degenerate? Knowing in the letter that the rebellion is very likely, even when Fergus planned it, the shock in his heart couldn't be further increased, and now he saw the traitor with his own eyes, which was confirmed. The Lieutenant Colonel's mentality at this time was very complicated.

"Hmph! Paul Greiman's perverse behavior has made people angry. He has completely degenerated into a tyrant and an executioner. How can our behavior be called a betrayal? We are doing justice for the people oppressed by him. Let Al Get back on her right track."

"It's unreasonable. I have never heard such vicious slander. Arda is flourishing now. You are really blind and ignorant of your conscience when you say this."

For Fergus' words, Lieutenant Colonel Hawley and Major Cobb beside him were very indignant, and the last trace of regret for Fergus disappeared without a trace.

Lieutenant Colonel Hawley said in a serious tone: "Fergus, if you lay down your weapons now and honestly tell all your accomplices and the whole story of the rebellion, maybe Lord Graham can see that your family has been loyal to you for generations. I will spare your life."

"Holly!" Fergus suddenly flew into a rage, "You are just a follower next to Bryce, and now you dare to talk to me like that."

"Squire?" Lieutenant Colonel Hawley was taken aback, he hadn't heard this word for a long time.

After reacting, Hawley responded: "Yes, but that was in the past. I am now the battalion commander of the 8th Infantry Battalion of the Arda Army."

"Battling commander shit!" Fergus' face became distorted, and the unwillingness and resentment buried in his heart for a long time suddenly burst out.

After the pirate rebellion was quelled, Fergus felt that the army built by the lord was too restrained, so he didn't stay in Huxin Town to serve, but returned to his village to manage the manor, but at that time he still maintained his dignity. The loyalty of the Laiman family, if the lord needs him, he will put on his horse at any time, bring his retinue and servants, and charge forward for the lord without hesitation, even if he dies in battle.

Among the knights of the Greiman family, he was not the only one who made the same choice as Fergus.

However, in all the wars that Arda participated in since then, Paul never once summoned the knights who chose to go home. They all won the war with the new army he built, which made the knights at home very sad puzzled.

Especially the War of the Usher, this war made the previously unknown Arda shine, and completely reversed the weak position of the Greiman family in the Northwest Gulf. If it is an important war, it means great status, reputation, and wealth for those who participate in it. During those days, Fergus didn't even care about the affairs of his own manor. He sent people to inquire about the development of the battle every day. The envoy of Huxin Town knocked on his gate and read out the lord's order for him to go to the battlefield to serve.

However, until the end of the Usurper War, Fergus could not wait for the envoy from Lake Town.

After the war, according to Earl Gramain's highest instructions, the outstanding characters in the war were vigorously publicized, and even became the protagonists in the drama. Several propaganda teams went to various cities and villages, recreating them for the residents over and over again. A heroic deed at the time. These outstanding figures range from calm officers to brave and fearless soldiers. Among them, the names and deeds of those who died are engraved in the Memorial Hall of Heroes in Huxin Town, and will always be remembered by people.

Earl Graham held a grand celebration ceremony in Huxin Town, and publicly awarded medals and awards to the soldiers who made contributions. At that time, Fergus was also invited, but he was only watching the ceremony as a guest~www .novelbuddy.com~ Unbeknownst to the Earl, a seed of resentment began to take root in the sea of ​​applause and cheers.

Yes, Fergus still keeps acquainted with his lord. Every time he writes a letter of greeting to Paul, he will get a warm reply, and he will even receive a letter of greeting from the lord first during festivals, but so what After all, Fergus is a knight and a warrior. His mission is to gallop on the battlefield until he heroically sacrifices his life for his lord, instead of dying in his own manor like ordinary squires.

how? Has the current Earl Greiman completely regarded him as an ordinary commoner friend?

Yes, strictly speaking, I am still a commoner. After the royal family restored the reputation of the Greiman family, those friends who knew me in Huxin Town—Bryce, Old Ford, Claude...they were all killed. Awarded a title of nobility.

Since then, their blood has become noble, and no matter where they go, they will be respectfully called "Lord".

The earl also officially awarded himself the title of knight, but the knight is only an honorary title, strictly speaking, it is not a real nobleman.

This is also a point that makes Fergus extremely disappointed.
