The battle lasted all morning. When Black Axe returned to White Eagle Castle with his men, the city was in a panic, and the flames were spreading rapidly.

"Your Excellency...... Adults, help put out the fire, my child is still in the house!"

"Mom, Dad!"

The villagers were crying everywhere, but the baron was not in sight.

The black axe casually stopped a young man carrying a bucket: "Where's the baron?!"

"Big ...... Sir, are you Lord Black Axe? I don't see Lord Baron...... He seemed to have gone back early. ”

The young man was startled when he was lifted by the black axe, and his speech was a little unsharp.

Black Axe slowly loosened his clothes, his eyes a little confused. After a reminder from his subordinates, he came back to his senses and ordered, "You go and help put out the fire, I'll just report it alone." ”

"Yes, my lord......"

When Black Axe arrived at the castle, Cliff was enjoying a glass of wine and bathing in the service of two maids.

"Adult ......"

"Coming back?" Cliff closed his eyes as a maid laughed as she fed a piece of fruit into his mouth.

"Yes......"

"How's it going? Why didn't One-Eye come back with you?"

He ...... He should be dead. ”

"What?" Cliff opened his eyes in shock, opened his mouth, and sat back down in the bath, "What a waste, a bunch of broils who haven't grown all the hair can't be killed, and it's better to die." ”

"Your Excellency...... Our team could not get close to them at a distance of thirty meters, and the cavalry led by One-Eye was almost completely wiped out by them. ”

"Oh, yes, how many guards are there in the city?"

"There are fifty more. ”

"Well, let them all withdraw to the castle, there is a moat, even if they throw an iron ball from the drawbridge, they won't be able to blow up the castle, they just have such a few people, we will defend the castle, we will not lose. ”

Cliff was silent for a moment and asked, "What about ......the people?"

"What's wrong with those fools? They can't do anything, and it's not as useful to let them fight with knives as a few cows. ”

"The city is on fire, and when the fire is extinguished, I will let the guards withdraw......"

"Save what?" Cliff looked at the black axe with some incredulity, "Help the foolish people put out the fire?"

"Oh my God, you probably didn't see the power of that iron ball exploding around me, did you? If Eiko and the others threw another one, our soldiers would all die there!, who would protect me and my son?!"

"Yes...... My lord, I'll ......do it right away," Black Axe was silent for a moment, then turned to leave.

"Wait......" Cliff said suddenly, "bring the trebuchets on the walls, and if they do break through the defenses of the walls, bombard them with trebuchets and let them taste the fireballs exploding around them." ”

The black axe replied and walked out of the castle without hesitation.

When he returned to the location of the fire, he found that the flames had been extinguished with the help of the guards.

"Pok, gather everyone, withdraw to the castle ......"

"Yes, my lord, the walls ......"

Black Axe sighed and said softly, "Your Excellency has given up, let's retreat to the castle." ”

"Yes...... Yes!"

"Big ...... My lord, Lord Black Axe......"

Black Axe suddenly heard someone calling for him, and when he looked for the sound, a young girl with a face covered in black ash and a shabby linen dress looked at him with some fear.

"You called me?"

"Yes...... Yes, Lord Black Axe," the girl was nervous and scared, gritted her teeth and forced her eyes to look at Black Axe, and said tremblingly, "Thank you Lord for your help, this is for you ......"

In her hand, she was holding a bouquet of flowers that seemed to have been picked just now, and the flowers were stained with some dirt.

Black Axe found that although the girl's face was covered with black and gray and her clothes were very shabby, her eyes were very beautiful, and she was a little fearful, a little resolute, and a little nervous.

"Why?"

"It was the adults who ordered the firefighting, and my brother was rescued by your people, and I am very grateful. I don't have anything of value, I went out in the morning to pick them, and although they fell to the ground, they were as bright as the kind hearts of adults. ”

"Oh, yes......" Black Axe sneered, reaching out to take the flowers.

The girl was startled by his expression, and unconsciously took a step back and fell to the ground.

The hand of the black axe paused slightly in the air, and then directly grabbed the flowers in the girl's hand, threw them on the ground, no longer looked at the girl, and said to Boke: "Let's go!"

"Sister...... Are you alright?"

The girl shook her head: "I'm fine, I just fell on my own...... I also stained the flowers, which is really useless. ”

......

As the sun gradually set, Black Axe, with a few of his men, opened the city gate and secretly lowered the drawbridge.

"Your Excellency, have you really decided?" asked Pock, who hesitated for a long time.

"We have all fought with Lord Baron for many years, but I am a native of White Eagle Castle, and my loyalty has always belonged to White Eagle Castle. The bravery and wisdom of adults have gradually been eroded by fine wine and women.

I could die on the battlefield for the sake of Fort Eagle, but I don't want to be scared like a rat in the city, and I don't want to see my loved ones die powerlessly. ”

"But what if they don't?"

"Then I will try to die with their lords......"

Poke let out a long sigh: "Whether it succeeds or not, Lord Baron will not forgive you." ”

"I know...... I don't have anything to worry about, but you have to be careful, if I don't come back, you get back to the team as soon as possible, you know?"

"Hmm...... I know!"

......

Roy had thought that the Baron would send an emissary to negotiate with him, and he would be able to sit on the ground and make him pay the reparations.

But after the person came to tell him, he was a little puzzled why he had sent the captain of the guard to negotiate.

"Baron Cliff sent you?" Roy asked, sitting on the top of the tent, knocking on the table.

On either side of Roy, Carey and Taylor stared at the Black Axe with the same curiosity.

"Not ......"

"So what do you mean by ......?"

"I'm ......" Black Axe sighed, "I can have people open the gates of White Eagle Castle and let the guards not attack you, and Baron Cliff can hand it over to you......"

Roy frowned, and his doubts were even worse, this is the rhythm of the rebellion?!

However, he did not show a happy expression, but asked indifferently, "What about the conditions?"

The black axe raised his eyes and glanced at Roy and said, "Don't hurt the people of the White Eagle Castle, you can take all the materials in the castle with you." ”

"Hehe, yes, you're very smart, and you can easily replace Cliff with our strength, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for us. ”

"No, I'm here alone, and considering that you won't agree, after all, White Eagle Castle is already within reach for you. And I didn't think about replacing adults. Black Axe understood that Roy had misunderstood his intentions.

"I will do it with you, you can arrange for your own people to sit in the position of the lord of White Eagle Castle, but please don't slaughter the lords of White Eagle Castle and return the corpses of my comrades, I only have this one request. ”

"Very tempting terms, I will grant your request, but you need to fulfill your promise first......" Roy smiled, it was a coincidence.
