One of the doors and windows of the house had been nailed up with wooden planks, and the smoke was so thick that people couldn't open their eyes, and the violent coughing made their hearts and lungs almost bleed.

The Baron Baron, the leader of the Western Frontier Army, thought that the person who attacked Wincheston Manor would negotiate with him, but he didn't expect that the other party wanted to put it to death at all, he panicked, and the fear of dying would definitely not be alleviated in the slightest because of his status as a baron.

The forty or so border soldiers who retreated in the house were also panicked, and they kept slashing the walls of the houses with their weapons in an attempt to find a way to escape, but the retreat they chose was indeed strong.

"My lord, what should I do? Can't get out!! A knight covering his mouth and nose with a rag, humming with irrepressible fear.

"Surrender! Hurry up and shout surrender! If it's too late, they'll all be burned to death! Connor could no longer care about his dignity at this time, and directly ordered to abandon his weapons and surrender.

"We surrender! Surrender. The knight shouted at the closed door, but there was no response, the smoke slowly ceased, and tongues of fire licked through the cracks in the door and walls.

"Quick, everyone shout surrender together, shout together!"

Mixed with terrible screams, bursts of voices of surrender came from the houses that had been engulfed in flames.

"Chief Tuba, those bastards are going to surrender, are you letting the brothers put out the fire?" The guards of the first flag team of the second company listened to the piercing screams in the sea of fire and said to the flag captain Tuba.

Tuba clasped his hands and looked coldly at the spreading fire, and said lightly: "Let the fire burn for a while and then you go and open the main gate, and let this group of mongrels know the fate of standing opposite the Wells Legion."

The fire burned for a while, and the screams in the house became louder and louder, and it was estimated that many of the retreating border soldiers had been burned alive before Tuba let the soldiers extinguish the flames at the main entrance and open the sealed main entrance with a crowbar.

The border soldiers who had been roasted into burning men discarded their weapons and rushed out of the sea of fire, ran into the open space surrounded and outflanked by dozens of soldiers, and took a big breath of fresh air, and a few soldiers who had been drawn by the flames kept rolling on the ground while running out of the sea of fire.

"Tie them all up to me!" The dozens of soldiers who surrounded took off the cowhide ropes from their waists, ran to the field and tied up all the thirty or so Western Frontier soldiers who had escaped from the fire, and then escorted them to the open space outside the manor, and screened and killed them one by one together with the private guards of Dean who had surrendered

While the frontier army in the West was burned to surrender, the Dean and his son in the Lord's Mansion of Wincheston Manor were still resisting.

The Lord's Mansion of Wincheston Manor was originally just a small stone fort, but after the Dean and his son took over the manor, they spent a lot of money to strengthen and expand it, and completely repaired the manor's defenses. The original small stone fort has expanded several times, not only the area has increased, the wall has also been thickened, and the fort gate is very equipped with a layer of iron fence and the previous iron-inlaid oak gate, so the firewood and grass piled up outside the fort have not been able to pose a fatal threat to the Dean father and son and more than a dozen elite guards who are stuck in the stone castle mansion for a while.

Moreover, those elite guards have seen that the peasant soldiers and border troops who surrendered outside the manor are being screened and slaughtered, and they know that they will not escape death if they surrender if they do too much evil on weekdays, so most of the guards hold on to death and can't hold out.

Just because most of the guards are stubborn doesn't mean that all of them are loyal to the Deans.

There are two vigilantes who know that the main target of the enemy attacking on the periphery of the stone castle is Dean and his son, so as long as they can get the head of Dean and his son, they may not only be able to pick up a chance to live, but maybe also exchange it for a big reward.

After a lifetime of evil thoughts, the eyes of the two guards looking at Dean and his son changed.

The two guards sneaked up to the first floor of the stone castle, connected the other two in tandem, and the guards inadvertently approached Dean and his son and began to act.

Behind the battlement wall of the top tower of the stone fort, old Dean held a wound crossbow in his right hand, and looked anxiously in the direction of the county town of Tignaz, the county town was only a dozen miles away, and it had been a whole day since Dean and his son sent someone to secretly warn him, and the county garrison should climb to Wincheston even if it was climbing.

Once the county soldiers are relieved in the middle, Dean and his son will at least have a chance to survive.

When Old Dean was anxiously looking, Dean kept pacing back and forth, looking down from the battlement from time to time at the increasingly fierce firewood, and the besieging enemy troops were still collecting firewood and grass from all over the manor and piling it up around the stone fort.

"Dean, can you stop hanging around!" Old Dean finally couldn't help but yell at Dean.

The panicked Dean was awakened by an angry shout, and his eyes gathered a trace of energy, "Father, was that bastard of Pierre also bought, why didn't you come to save us?" ”

Old Dean didn't answer Dean's question, at this time he was already desperate, and there were countless opponents who had conspired to defeat him in his life, but no kind of strategy could withstand the strong attack of force, and the opponent had cut off all his ways of life.

"Master, why don't we open the door and surrender. Giving them enough money might allow them to let us live. "The oldest and most trusted leader of the Dean family's bodyguard has made a proposal to surrender and pay for his life.

"Master, let's surrender, surrender may have a way to live, and we will all become roast pigs after the fire burns for half a day!" Another henchman was also on board.

Old Dean was instantly furious, and he raised the crossbow in his hand and aimed it at the guard who persuaded him to surrender, "Surrender? Do you think those black-robed mongrels are kind-hearted people? To surrender at this time is to send to death! ”

"That's right! Resolutely not to surrender! We swear to follow the master and the young master to the death! One of the guards who had just come up from downstairs drew his sword from his waist and pointed it at the leader of the guard who had proposed to surrender, and then moved closer to Dean and his son, and several others drew their swords at the other guard who seconded the proposal and several of his men.

"Don't worry, master, we will fight for you until the last moment and drain the last drop of blood!" The sword-wielding guard approached Old Dean step by step, but his eyes drifted a little.

Dean also immediately drew his weapon and aimed it at the two systems that had surrendered to the guards.

"Master, young master! I've been guarding you all your life, don't you believe me! If you stay, you will definitely be burned to death, and you may be able to pray for God's protection if you open the door and surrender."

"You coward, it's clearly an excuse for being afraid of death." The sword-wielding guard was getting closer and closer to Old Dean, and his steps became more and more unsteady, and his other hand slowly lowered towards his waist.

Old Dean stared at the guard leader who had followed him all his life with mixed emotions, and there was indeed no shadow of greed for life and fear of death in the eyes of that leader.

Old Dean lowered his head and let his heart struggle, and when he looked up, he caught a glimpse of the guard who was getting closer and closer, and his other hand touched the dagger at his waist.

Old Dean raised his hand and pointed his crossbow at the guards who were close to him, and pulled the suspension.

The bolt drove into the guard's back socket, and he collapsed to the ground, still holding a dagger in his left hand.

The sudden crisis made everyone behind the battlement wall of the tower unreact for a while, and the other three sword-wielding guards instantly rushed to the side of the palace guard knight Dean behind him, one of them put his sword on Dean's neck, and the other two held swords to guard both sides.

"Brothers, you can't escape! Kill Dean and his son for another life, the people downstairs just want the lives of Dean and his son! The guards who coerced Dean widened their eyes and looked in horror at the guards of the Dean family who drew their swords and surrounded them.

The two sides confronted each other like this.

With the crunch of the crossbow, a crossbow arrow was nailed into the head of the guard holding Dean hostage, and his head was flicked by the crossbow arrow, and he looked back at the sky, and then collapsed suddenly.

The air condensed again, and everyone slowly turned their heads to look at the crossbow in Old Dean's hand, which had already emptied the arrow slot.

"Kill them!" Old Dean gave the order to the leader of the guards, and the leader of the guards raised his weapons and slammed them at the other two men standing in front of Dean, who were already in different places before they could react.

Old Dean raised his crossbow arm and suddenly let go, the crossbow fell to the ground, and he said to the leader of the guard who had just proposed to surrender: "Tell the enemy downstairs that my father and son Dean are willing to surrender"

After a while, the herald of the first company ran back to the command camp outside the manor, and said to Otto and Angus: "Two lieutenants, Dean and his son have proposed to open the door and surrender, they are willing to give us 500,000 Fennigh military expenses, and give up all the trade routes, convoys, and southern goods sales markets under the jurisdiction of the Dean family, and are willing to become a retainer under the lord of the lord, and swear allegiance to the baron!" ”

Otto and Angus smiled at each other, and until now the Dean father and son were still lucky.

"Let the soldiers stop the arson." Odo said to the herald, then stood up and held the hilt of his sword at his waist and said to Angus, "Sergeant Major, I will sit here and wait, and you will go and meet the surrender of Dean and his son."

Angus sneered and said to Ron, who had just returned from the battle, "Sir Ron, prepare to see off Dean and his son."

Ron nodded faintly and went to prepare.

Angus and a few guards walked into the smoke-filled Wincheston Manor, and came to the stone castle where the lord's mansion was located, where the soldiers were cleaning the firewood at the stone castle gate.

When the firewood was cleared to reveal the stone castle gate, the second oak gate of the gate was pushed open, but the first iron fence was still blocked, and old Dean appeared behind the iron fence under the cover of almost shielded guards.

"Warriors, I am Old Dean, and I ask to meet Baron Yat and surrender to Lord Baron in person." Old Dean shouted to the door.

Angus glanced at Colin, who was in charge of the attack, and Colin nodded that there was no problem.

Angus replied, "My lord is in the tent, and if Lord Dean wants to surrender, he should go to the tent to meet the lord in person."

"I will not surrender without the Baron's promise!" Old Dean didn't see the main master, and his heart couldn't be steady at all.

"I am Baron Angus Doyle, the leader of the Baron of the Frontier of the Court under the command of Baron Atwood Wells, and I accept your surrender on behalf of Lord Baron." Angus's tone was non-negotiable.

"Nope! I ask the Baron to accept my surrender personally. Dean Sr. finally struggled.

Angus no longer spoke to Old Diando, and shouted to Colin, the captain of the first company and the first flag beside him: "The bandit leader Dean and his son once again refuse to surrender to the palace southern border patrol officer and continue to attack!"

After that, he planned to leave with Otto.

When Old Dean saw that the people were leaving, and the enemy soldiers began to pile up firewood and grass again, he hurriedly shouted loudly: "Lord Angus! We are willing to go out and kneel to meet the Baron! ”

Angston froze and turned back, "Lay down your weapons and don't do anything to misunderstand my soldiers." ”

The iron fence of the stone fort was slowly pulled up by the people inside, and the figures of Dean and his son walked out of the stone fort, and the guards of the Dean family lost their weapons and shields one after another, but several of them were still guarding the side of Dean and his son.

"Lord Dean, Sir Dean, please come with me. Your conditions are of interest to my family, and if you can satisfy my family, you may be able to save my life. ”

Of course, Dean and his son couldn't believe that Art would let his father and son go easily, he just hoped that he would have more time to let his backers have enough time to save him.

Dean and his son, under the protection of two loyal guards, walked towards the tent outside the manor, surrounded by two dozen soldiers in sharp armor.

When he arrived at the tent, Ron greeted him at the tent door and made a "please" gesture to Dean and his son, "My family is waiting for you father and son inside, and the rest are waiting outside the tent!" ”

"We're going to follow the old master and young master in!" One of the guards said loudly.

Angus nodded, Ron got out of the way, and Dean and his son walked into the tent with the two guards.

"You're not Baron Ath!" Old Dean looked at Odo, who was sitting in the camp's seat, and exclaimed.

But what answered Dean's son's question was the rattle of crossbow and crossbow and the cracking of arrows into the flesh.

Dean and his son, along with two loyal guards, were shot dead in the command tent of the Wells Legion. ntent
