【Chapter 129】 Catching Turtles in the Urn (Medium)

"Eric, take our good steward of Blackstone Fort to the dungeon. Karrick's eyes were full of disdain, and he coldly ordered.

Eric also hated it at all, Blackstone Castle finally had a good life, and it was almost ruined by such an old thing. Kicking Leon to the ground, grabbing him by the neck, dragged him out like a dead dog.

The atmosphere in the parlor was not much lighter, Lion was just a small pawn, and the Duke of Ceylon, who was hiding behind the scenes and planning all this, was the biggest disaster. He is the Great Lord of Waterdeep, the Governor of the South, and has dozens of small lords under his command, large and small, who can easily gather thousands of knights.

What's more, the Duke of Ceylon personally commanded the First Knights of the South, the Holy Spirit Blade.

As for the Black Stone Leader, the main cavalry force taken away by Lia is likely to have been wiped out, and the existing strength is only more than thirty castle guards, even if you add the serfs who have no combat effectiveness, there are less than two hundred.

Greedy jackals will not give up their prey easily, and the Blackstone Collar who was targeted by the Duke of Ceylon just escaped this catastrophe, and in the coming days, there will be a big storm.

Karrick understands this, and so does Alice.

"Alice. Karrick furrowed his brows tightly and rubbed his hands anxiously: "I think, our Blackstone Collar is in big trouble this time." Although it is not known for what purpose the Duke of Ceylon would be so mean and ruthless to the loyal lord. But I don't think he will give up easily, you know, our Blackstone Collar is too weak. ”

"We're getting stronger. Although Alice is also worried, she has the favor of the gods and the companions who control the divine power, but her eyes are full of confidence: "The wise and great gods are on our side." We are not fish on the chopping board, let him handle it. If he chose to reneg on the covenant, why should we pledge our allegiance to him?"

It is nothing new for small local lords to rebel or crusade against each other for various reasons. And Alice has no affection for the high Duke of Ceylon.

According to the decrees of the gods, the Duke of Ceylon was a despicable man with a crown on his head and a robe of brocade, a servant of the devil who wanted to destroy all that she cherished.

And it is her, Linda, and Elena's responsibility to eradicate evil. Now that the devil has bared his fangs, there is no need to hesitate to choose.

Alice slowly stood up, her eyes filled with the fire of anger: "Since he wants to destroy us, then what do we hesitate to fight, we will fight until evil is destroyed." ”

The meaning of this sentence is equivalent to a break and a declaration of war!

"I understand that this is the hardest path, we are fragile eggs and each other is a hard rock. Alice clenched her fists: "But I am not afraid, because I am the darling of the gods, and I am the blade of the gods to cut off evil." I will never choose to back down, let alone compromise!"

"That ......" Karik, who is closely related to the fate of the Black Stone Collar, also understands that this is the most helpless and difficult path, even if he sacrifices everything, he must firmly follow: "This year's autumn harvest tax ......"

"He can't even think of a hair, a grain of rice!" Alice was full of confidence, but not arrogant: "Delay, find a way to delay." It dragged on until the beginning of winter, and once it snowed heavily, we had at least two months to prepare for the war. ”

"Understood. Karrick nodded lightly: "I think that the Duke likes to play with conspiracies so much, precisely because he cares about the feelings of other lords. As a last resort, he would never tear his face and openly attack the Black Stone Leader. And that's exactly what we can take advantage of. ”

"Uncle Karrick, go ahead and make arrangements. Also, it's a good idea to get in touch with Mr. Mason. We need to recruit and double the number of people. ”

"Understood!"

After Karrick left in a hurry, Alice slowly walked up to Linda and Elena, and took their hands: "I swear, I will not disappoint the gods." ”

Linda clenched her hand and looked at her resolutely: "Alice, I will fight with you until the last moment." ”

"Elena. Alice's gaze fell on Elena: "Maybe it's true, as you said, some nobles don't deserve to live in this world." From now on, your hatred is my hatred, and all those who have bullied and oppressed you, whether they are nobles in Waterdeep or serfs in Daotan Town, I swear that they will pay with blood. ”

Despite the short time together, the friendship is not deep enough. But the common faith fills them with trust, not to mention, they now have a common goal.

Elena took a deep breath, "Alice, thank you. I will also use all my strength, for the gods, for me, for you, for Linda, for the Black Stone Collar, to seek justice, so that those who have committed the most crimes will get the punishment they deserve. ”

"Thank you!" Alice opened her arms and hugged them, and they answered her with open arms.

"Now, let's make a battle plan. The three of us, living and dying together, advance and retreat together!"

"Live and die together, advance and retreat together!"

......

The red sun is slanting in the west, and the loess is flying. The wind howled like a ghost, passing through the desolate and lonely Black Rock Canyon, a two-wheeled caravan, the groom wrapped in a cloak, showing only a pair of eyes, waving a horsewhip, slowly crossing the canyon from west to east.

"Remember, guys, our purpose is only to set fire to the grain, and the cleaner the burning, the better!" Inside the caravan, there were seven or eight dark shadows, among them a strong man with a beard and a short axe, and his voice was low: "When the fire is ignited, everyone rush to the battlements with me, lower the ropes, do not fight, and leave here immediately." Then return to Waterdeep, get paid by the other half, and start our new life. ”

"Hertha, you look too nervous. Haha...... "A thin guy with short mouse-brown messy hair, his eyes are very close to each other, and he looks snarky:" Bai is such a big guy. Don't forget, the butler of the broken castle has already been bought, so what's the danger?"

The bearded Hertha sneered: "Squirrel, do you know where I come from? desert - we have a saying there that the guide is in the desert, and you must remember at least two oases." Because you never know if one of them will disappear. The bribed butler? hehe-what if he is discovered? Remember, you're the ones who hide in the bucket. When the time comes, there is no need to say what will happen, right?"

The gray squirrel's expression really changed, and his expression was a little suspicious.

"Stupid guy. A lazy voice came from the corner, and a guy in a linen hooded cloak sat up and wiped the grappling hook in his hand: "Only you three short-sighted fellows who don't have fart skills will choose to hide in a bucket and give your life to someone else." Remember, a qualified assassin has his fate in his own hands. ”

"Butler Lubos, it's not as simple as you think, is it?" Squirrel scoffed calmly, "A broken castle guarded by a teenager can scare her guts." ”

"It's not as simple as you think. The guy with the grappling hook scoffed: "That's why I made two preparations and hired a few of us." Even if you're trapped in a bucket, we can easily climb the battlements. That's the real thing!"

The gray squirrel sneered with a sneering face: "I'm afraid the castle guards who patrol the night are not so easy to deal with, are they? ”
