Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World Chapter 3

Hansel Abbott, a noble baron of the Kingdom of Aldo, at least in the eyes of the common people, he is indeed noble, but now he is running around with a group of ragged refugees on the muddy country road.

"God **** traitor," he muttered again.

Just a week ago, Grand Duke Giles, known as "Greedy Wolf", launched a rebellion. The king had been in a coma for many days because of a serious illness. Her Royal Highness, the only one who could suppress the rebellion, led her knights to the east The highlands drove out the barbarians who invaded the borders of the kingdom.

Although the ambition of Grand Duke Greedy Wolf is known to all, the royal family's strategy towards him is still mainly to appease him. No one thought that the rebellion would happen so quickly. To make matters worse, in the eyes of the public, Sir Hals, the commander of the Royal City Guard who had always been loyal to the royal family, turned out to be a hidden chess piece buried in the royal capital by the Grand Duke.

The Abbott family has always given people the impression that they are diehard loyalists of the royal family. Hansel, who happened to be outside the city, was so frightened by the news that he didn't even dare to go home. He fled to the highlands with his personal servant overnight.

The order of the entire Jingyao area seemed to have collapsed overnight, and bandits from all walks of life seemed to appear overnight, and the city guards also began to raid the surrounding area, burning, killing, and looting. Due to the great reputation of the Grand Duke, a large number of civilians and small and medium nobles loyal to the royal family also began to flee to other places.

Hansel heard some rumors intermittently from the refugees. After the rebel army rushed into the palace, it seemed that they could not find the king. The royal party got the news at the last moment before the rebellion. A large number of royal guards protected the king and some other important members who were still in a coma and ran from the north gate.

Hansel had seen convoys with the royal family logo on the road, but he didn't follow them like those refugees who were eager to seek asylum. At this time, he was still waving through the city under the royal family's banner, and he faintly felt something was wrong. He is now leading his servant Tommen to another road. Of course, there are many refugees on this road.

The carriage sank in a muddy place just now, and the servant Tommen pulled the horse's buttocks and did not pull the carriage out. Just as they were complaining about their bad luck, a group of passing robbers took the horse and what was left. A lot of money has been robbed, and all the baron can do now is to curse the rebels who caused all this over and over again.

Just when the master and servant were going to take a rest by the side of the road, an aristocratic carriage caught up behind them, and the family emblem on the carriage had been covered. When they passed by, there was a face in the car window that made Hansel's stomach queasy on weekdays, but now he felt a little inexplicably kind.

"Hey, isn't this Abbott?" The gloating flash across the face of the other party completely wiped out the little intimacy just now. Even so, the group of heavily armed knights behind the carriage reassured him a lot, and he decided to take this carriage no matter what.

"Dear Matthew, I met a bunch of shameless robbers before, for the sake of old friends, can you give me some help?"

"Haha, what's wrong with this? Can I let my good friend, Baron Hansel Abbott, be mixed with a group of refugees in a stinking mud like now? If this gets out, it will be a bad image for our nobles What a big blow." The other party said loudly in a very exaggerated tone, and opened the car door, attracting a group of refugees who happened to pass by to stop and watch.

"Thank you, I knew you wouldn't ignore your old friend." Hansel got into the carriage, and secretly vowed to ridicule the other party back when he was in trouble.

Matthew Stallman, Hansel's classmate and his biggest rival in his entire school days, every time there is a debate match, he can always see the two people's tit-for-tat speeches. It is countless times to bury each other behind their backs, and each other rejects each other as sinister villains. Now, he had to escape with the help of his deadly enemy.

"The world is impermanent!" Hansel sighed, and then thanked his mother and sister who were away to visit relatives not in the capital.

"Okay, Hansel, don't make a sad face, and tell me what your plan is."

After listening to Matthew's question, Hansel straightened his collar and regained some energy, "At this time of turmoil in the kingdom, it is natural to go to the eldest princess to serve as a dog and a horse. Although my personal ability is low, but for the royal family It is my Abbott family's bounden duty to solve problems."

"Huh, it's still as grand as ever. Anyway, I have this plan anyway. My Stallman family's loyalty to the royal family has never been left behind."

"I wonder if Her Royal Highness will take us in when we go to the military camp. Hey, Matthew, where did you come from before you fled?"

"I was checking the accounts at the manor outside the city, and I received a notice from my father, telling me to go to the highlands and join the eldest princess."

"I saw the convoy with the royal logo on the road, why didn't you follow?"

"Didn't you follow? It's so chaotic, and it's so ostentatious. Do you think I'm a fool? You still look down on people like before."

The two were talking without a word when the carriage stopped suddenly. UU reading www. uukanshu.com The two of them felt tense, wouldn't they run into rebels and robbers?

Someone outside the car shouted with a foreign accent: "Excuse me, are you from the Stallman family? Can you get out of the car and meet?"

Matthew and Hansel had no choice but to get out of the car, only to see an old man standing beside the carriage on the side of the road, who bowed slightly and gave a noble salute.

The old man introduced himself: "I am Baron Vackley Ford, Lord Seal Keeper of the Earl of Greymans on the northwest coast. On behalf of my lord, I would like to send my regards to you two."

"Hi, I'm Baron Matthew of the Stallman family, and this is Baron Hansel of the Abbott family. What's the matter?"

"I went to the royal capital to meet His Majesty the King because of territorial affairs, but along the way, I saw a large number of civilians fleeing north with their families. They all said that there was a rebellion in the royal capital, so I would like to ask you two about the specific situation."

"Well, the honored guest came from afar, so he must not know about it. It's all because of Giles, who betrayed His Majesty the King."

"Oh? Is that His Royal Highness the Grand Duke known as 'Greedy Wolf'?"

"Yes, now that the capital has been occupied by his accomplices, I advise you not to go."

"I haven't been to the capital for nearly ten years, but unexpectedly encountered such a big event when I came here. Giles is really hateful."

"That's right, the two of us were also afraid of falling into the hands of the rebels, so we planned to join Her Highness the Eldest Princess. She is now leading the army to drive out the barbarians in the highland area. With Her Highness's ability, she should be able to return to the army to put down the rebellion soon."

"I don't know His Majesty the King..."

"Your Majesty must have been rescued. If you wish, Lord Ford can go with us to find the Palace of the Great Princess. Your Majesty contracted an illness not long ago, and has already handed over all matters to Her Majesty the Princess."

"Is that so? Well, I will trouble you two on the way."
