This roar was like thunder exploding in Evelyn's ears. Instead of being frightened, she felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head, and she instantly woke up from panic and hesitation.
Evelyn raised his head sharply and glared at Lushen. His eyes were cold and sharp, and they were 70-80% similar to Suleiman.
Lushen's heart skipped a beat at the sight of her, and the words that followed instantly stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say them out anymore..., female... female... version... Suleiman Master.
Evelyn knows that the most taboo thing about military decisions is delay, and every minute and every second must be fought for.
She looked at Lushen, her voice had returned to calmness, and even had a sense of oppression:
"Are you sure that there are only about 200 enemies?"
Lushen remembered what Suleiman said to him on Deddings Castle. As a general, the most important thing is to dare to make judgments. When to attack and when to be rock solid, all need to be based on your own judgment.
He nodded heavily:
"I'm sure! Madam!!"
Evelyn said no more and turned to Olivier who had been standing quietly beside him:
"Go! Light the beacon! Convey the order of Lion's Den! All Military Town! Assemble the troops immediately!"
Olivier bowed to accept the order and left quickly. Evelyn's eyes returned to Lushen again:
"We only have more than 400 people! Can we win?"
Lushen puffed up his chest and slapped the lock until it crackled. "Don't worry! Evelyn girl! Ironborn is not as scary as the rumors say! They are just wolves on the water! On land! They are just a group of toothless dogs! We are the wolves!!!"
Evelyn listened to Lushen's words and looked at him silently. This farmer was indeed different. He then glanced at the soldiers in the hall who heard Lushen's statement. They all stood proudly and showed no fear. These people were also different. It reminded her of her father's words.
Ninety-nine sheep led by a lion can defeat ninety-nine lions led by a sheep, Tywin. Lannister is a lion, Suleiman is a lion, and it turns out that her father is not a lion.
Even Tox, who had been lying on the ground crying bitterly, suddenly raised his head after hearing the news of Ironborn's invasion and the gathering of troops. His eyes, which were red from crying, suddenly widened.
In the ashes of despair, a crazy flame suddenly ignited, and he knew that this was his chance.
The only chance to not disappoint Lord Suleiman, to repay the kindness of Lord, to use a heroic death in battle to wash away one's crimes and preserve one's image in the hearts of adults...
Tox urges the Wildlings war horse under him. The horse is not tall and is a unique mountain horse of Mountains of the Moon. It has amazing endurance. They are short in stature and lack the sense of pressure when charging on the plains, but they can walk smoothly on the rugged mountain roads. Because of this, these ponies are assigned to the affairs officers of each Military Town.
Ms. Evelyn's sapphire eyes lingered in his mind. He, Tox, was not afraid of death and had even died long ago. But now he had tarnished the reputation of Mr. Suleiman.
The pony's hoofs stepped on the gravel road, making a crisp sound. He had already thought clearly, Ironborn was coming, just in time, this was an opportunity, an opportunity to wash away his sins in the most thorough way.
Tox clamped the horse's belly fiercely, and the war horse neighed and ran wildly in the direction of Crevice Keep. As soon as he returned to Crevice Keep.
He turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to find Danny, a fellow affairs officer here. His voice was hoarse and without any emotion:
"Mr. Danny, summon all men who can fight, immediately."
Danny was stunned for a moment, looking at his bloodshot eyes, not daring to ask any more questions, and immediately turned around and rang the summoning bell.
Tox did not stop, and strode back to his simple room, opened the bed board, and pulled out an old wooden box from underneath. In the box were all his belongings, the Gold Dragon that Master Suleiman had given him, and the Silver Stag that he had received from previous battles, which he poured into a coarse cloth pocket.
His pocket was heavy, as if it was dragging the weight of his entire life. He carried the money bag and walked to the door of the father and daughter's house.
At this moment, the townspeople who were alarmed by the sound of the bell had gathered around, and Danny also arrived with several old leaders. In everyone's shocked eyes, Tox walked up to the white-haired old man, let go of his hand, and the heavy money bag fell to the ground with a thud.
Then, he bent his left knee and knelt straight down on one knee. The whole place fell silent instantly, and only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard. A lord military officer with real power actually knelt down in front of a civilian.
The girl in the room heard the noise and quietly poked her head out. When she saw this scene and saw that it was her future husband, she shrank back in shock and shyness.
Tox lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I can't help you, I can't help your daughter."
He picked up the money bag on the ground, held it in both hands, and handed it to the old man.
"This is all my property, please you and your daughter... you must accept it."
The old man was so frightened that he backed away and shook his hands wildly. "No, no, sir, we can't have it, we can't have it."
Tox did not stand up, but still held the money bag high with a stubborn attitude, and whispers began to sound in the crowd.
Danny couldn't stand it any longer and took a step forward to help Tox up. "Master Tox, what are you...
Tox ignored him. Seeing that the old man refused to answer, he simply forced the money bag into the old man's hands. The old man was trembling and did not dare to accept it. A mistake in his refusal occurred.
Crash! Gold Dragon and Silver Stag were mixed together and rolled to the ground. Under the sun, those coins reflected a dazzling light, making people unable to open their eyes.
The crowd erupted in exclamations of disbelief.
"Oh my god! Gold Dragon!"
"So much... so much money!"
"There are at least five Gold Dragon! There are so many Silver Stag!"
"Seven is on top...
3
"There's such a good thing... why wasn't it my daughter who was robbed in the first place...
The old man's hands trembled violently. He looked at the gold and silver on the ground and was so excited that he could hardly speak:
"So many... A lot of money... I can't want it, it's too much, I really don't dare to want it!"
Tox was still kneeling on the ground, silent. He bent down, picked up the scattered coins one by one, and put them back into the bag. His movements were very slow and serious, as if he was performing a sacred ceremony.
After picking up the last Silver Stag, he once again stuffed the full money bag into the old man's arms without refusal. This time, the old man did not refuse. He held the heavy money bag, trembling all over, and his face flushed with excitement.
Tox stood up slowly, stopped looking at anyone, turned around and left, almost dragging Danny, and walked into Office of the Military Officer next to him.
