When Bellery kicked open the door and rushed in, Alexander knew that he had been deceived by Quesha.

Whether it was just to take back power from Odonie as she had said before, or to prepare to force it if necessary because she feared Odonne's disobedience, Jossa was completely forced to do so.

But now when she finally faced Odonie, she didn't give him a chance to choose at all, which can only show that she didn't plan to take over smoothly from the beginning, or simply said that she was ready to completely eradicate Odonie from the beginning.

Bellery is obviously the person that Hellie trusts the most, and knows her purpose best, so what Chester says to Odore is not so much an order to Odore as a signal to Bellery to do something!

The sudden rush of men and the shaking muskets and crossbows in their hands startled the unprepared knights in the room.

Although the musket was not so powerful in this era, it was extremely dangerous at a distance of only one room, especially if it was faced with a musket stuffed with iron sand projectiles, even more terrifying than a short crossbow.

As for the armor that could withstand the muskets, because of the hot weather and the fact that it was in the castle, no one wore it at all.

So when they saw Boleri and they rushed in, after the initial consternation, some people fled in terror, and some instinctively drew their swords and prepared to resist.

"Bang!" Without hesitation, Bellery fired a shot at a knight who had already drawn his sword not far from Audonne!

As the smoke reverberated through the room as a loud gunshot, the man who had been hit fell to the ground, and Bellery had quickly grabbed another musket from the hand of Uliu, who was next to him, and pointed it at the others with both hands.

The room was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder, the smoke had not yet cleared, and with the smoke screen wafting away, Alexander saw that Odogne's face was ugly as if it had just been ravaged by countless feet.

"Miss Josa Cosenza, do you know what you're doing?" Odonne looked at his cronies who had fallen at his feet, the man was now motionless and did not know whether he was alive or dead, which made Odonne not doubt that the groom would shoot him next time.

"Of course I know what I'm doing," Jossa stared at Odonne's eyes, and although she had gained the upper hand, she didn't let her guard down on him in the slightest, "Knight, I now announce that you are relieved of your position as the captain of the Knight of Cosenza, and that you are forbidden to be free from now on." As she spoke, her gaze fell on the knights who were retreating to the side, and said, "From now on he is no longer your captain, and I will let you choose whether to follow him or me." ”

The knights looked to both sides with some confusion, they were different from those who still stood by O'Donne's side, they did not deliberately attach themselves to either side, and if they had to say who they were on, they would also be the one who would pay them.

Obviously, as the guardian of the Kosencha territory, Jisha is their benefactor at this time.

"You're crazy, the bohemians are out there!" Odonne took two steps around the table and rushed forward, but was pointed at his chest by two short crossbows: "Do you know how to command those guards, can you make everyone obey your orders, can you hold the castle of Cosenza?" ”

Odonne's words made the faces of the knights next to him, who originally thought that they had nothing to do with their own fight, slightly discolored.

Ordogne was right when he said that if he could not command the guards to defend the castle, it would be a disaster for everyone if the Bohemians invaded.

And as a woman, Jisha obviously can't be trusted.

"So I've decided to make him your captain," Josa turned her head to look at Alexander, who hadn't even had time to say a word the whole time, "He's a knight from Sicily, and he managed to save the family of the Sicilian court minister during the recent Sicilian riots, so I now appoint him as the knight captain of Cosenza." ”

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Alexander, and the freshly baked "Knight of Sicily" could only face these gazes with a wry smile on his face.

"You're going to make this man the Knight Captain of Cosenza?" Odonne smiled sarcastically, "I think you've made a big mistake like your mother, your mother just trusts the little white face too easily......"

Before Odonie could finish his sentence, Jossa suddenly turned around and snatched the gun from Massimo, who had just refilled the gunpowder, and pressed the muzzle of the gun up against Odonne's chin, lifting his head upwards.

"Listen, if you dare to say a word about my mother, I'll shoot you right now."

Anger erupted in her eyes, and her voice was so resolute that there was no doubt that she would be able to do what she said.

"Do you understand me?" Jisha asked.

Odonne hesitated, but finally nodded, and as his chin moved up and down, he felt the rough muzzle of the musket push his throat with pain, and his face turned completely pale.

"Now you and your men are disarmed and stand together," Jossa pushed Odonne with her gun, "Listen, don't forget that I am the daughter of the lord of Cosenza, as long as you obey my orders honestly, I will pay you your due payment afterwards and let you go, so you are only temporarily free of your freedom." As for the others, you are still knights of Cosenza, and I only want you to declare your allegiance to me now. ”

Jisha's words made the knights standing on the side secretly relieved.

With the changes of the times, the knighthood that has been maintained for nearly a thousand years has gradually faded its dazzling halo at this time.

The sacred relationship between lords and knights, which was originally linked by loyalty and faith, has been increasingly replaced by contracts at the cost of money, except for those traditional knights who still maintain an old-fashioned feudal relationship with the lord because of their fiefdoms, more and more lords and knights have evolved into out-and-out employers and mercenaries.

However, when these people came forward one after another to announce to Josa that they recognized her identity and obeyed Alexander's orders, Josa suddenly picked out two people from among them, and without listening to their explanations, he locked them up with Odonne.

"They're Audonne's men, and I've known that for a long time."

Jossa told Alexander, which made Alexander even more sure that she had prepared for Odongne.

"Is he to your mother," Alexander hesitated for a moment, but changed his tone slightly, "I mean what he did to our mother, otherwise how could you be so angry." ”

Josa glared at Alexander fiercely, and then seemed to think that some words were better to be clear, so she said slowly: "He deliberately approached his mother, and did a lot of bad things to her, I know that he actually wants to gradually control her through this, and get more benefits from her, and my mother actually left Cosenza temporarily because of this, but I think she still underestimated Odouene, this person is very greedy, and he may want more than we think." ”

"Does he still want to be the Count of Cosenza?" Alexander said casually, and when he saw the meaningful look in his eyes, he was slightly stunned and thought about it, and then fell silent.

Although it may sound unlikely, but considering that in today's Milan, there is an ancestor of the Sforza family, who was originally just a mercenary leader, and became the Duke of Milan by marrying the widow of the original lord, Alexander thinks that this may not be a joke.

And only in this way can it be explained why, faced with the threat of the Bohemians outside the castle, Jossa still has to risk taking down Odonie and his men in one fell swoop at this time.

Looking at the fact that although she was actually just as nervous, she still carried out the plan without hesitation, Alexander felt that this "sister" was really not simple.

At least this determination and grasp of the situation made him feel much more clever than most of the people he had ever met.

Even people like Priest Alfonso and the Duke of Orleans would probably not do better than she did if they faced the situation she was in now.

It's just that when he thinks of his situation as a "Sicilian knight" who was forced to be the captain, Alexander has a headache.

In fact, he was neither a knight nor knew how to defend a castle, and he was not even comfortable with cavalry and foot swords, let alone put on full armor.

Alexander believed that if he wore that, he might have gone crazy from claustrophobia before he could engage the enemy.

"Don't worry, our knights can help you, don't forget that Kosenza also has its own knights, and I trust their loyalty," seemed to see through Alexander's thoughts, and Jossa comforted him, "and we just need to hold the castle tightly, but what the hell are those Bohemians going to do, they have somehow blocked the way out, what good is it for them?" ”

Ji Sha muttered to herself in wonder, and the two pointed eyebrows that were slightly stirred together because she couldn't understand touched slightly, looking like an elf who was making trouble.

She made the corners of Alexander's mouth tremble, he couldn't help but think of the kiss just now, and the touch between his lips and tongue that could still be recalled made him feel a little uncomfortable, although he knew that once he confessed the identity of Giorre Mordillo, the relationship with the girl in front of him was only a half-brother and sister, but because of this, the kind of thought that arose because of something insurmountable made him feel even more difficult to suppress.

"We must have overlooked something, don't you say?"

A question woke Alexander from his rams, and he looked at Jossa who was frowning at him. He nodded weakly, and although this girl was not his sister, he was still a little worried that she would see through his mind.

"Then you say we're overlooking," said Josha, ignoring Alexander's over-the-top eyes, and continued to ponder, "let your monk tell me what he said to the Bohemians." ”

"My lord, I assure God that I have told you all that I know," Massimo, who was standing in front of Alexander, declared very dryly, and then said helplessly with a collapse of his shoulders, "The bohemians have said so much, and their mouths are very strict, as if they are afraid that if they say too much, they will reveal something." ”

"Wait, what did you say?" Alexander suddenly interrupted Massimo: "What do you say they are afraid of divulging?" ”

"I'm just saying it's like this." Mahimo shook his head and explained, "You know, I was really scared, but luckily the guy who gave me the mount was locked up too. ”

"What are they afraid of divulging?" Alexander, however, no longer bothered with the monk's self-talk, but carefully reflected on what was in it.

The Bohemians not only did not allow them to enter the territory of Cosenza, but even blocked the gates of the Cosentsa people, which can only be described as a provocation by any means.

But since it had all come to this, what did the Bohemians have to fear, and what were they afraid of the Kosentsa discovering?

In addition, to everyone's surprise, including the pressure, the Bohemians had not really attacked the Kosentsa at any time, and had not even approached the castle, despite their posture of being ready to fight the Kosentsas.

So what exactly is their purpose?

"Isn't that better, sir?" Seeing that Alexander was lost in thought, Massimo said disapprovingly, "We are just here as guests, and as soon as the Bohemians leave, we will leave this place quickly." Fortunately, there was a lot of food in the castle, and it didn't matter if it was so stiff for a few more months, but the Bohemians couldn't stay outside the city forever, and they soon had to retreat because they didn't have anything to eat. ”

Stiff for a few months?

Didn't eat?

Somehow, Mashimo's words stirred up waves in Alexander's heart!

He seemed to have grasped something, and the words kept echoing in his head.

Thinking about it, remembering it, Alexander couldn't help but remind himself in his heart.

What did you come to Kosenza for, wasn't it just to take the opportunity to get close to Georges Anne.

When facing the old fox of Modiglo, if you don't want to be used only by him, you must open a breakthrough from George Anne, and use her status as a member of the Mordillo family to make herself not just a simple pawn, but a part of the family.

And to achieve this goal, the first thing to do now is to help the territories of Jisha and Kosenza through the danger in front of them.

Because Alexander discovers that not only does Jossa have a deep influence on her mother, but the girl herself is strong enough to play an important role.

Receiving the recognition of Jisha became the first test for him to integrate into the Kosencha family.

What exactly is missing?

Alexander kept asking himself that the Bohemians did not seem to want to clash with the Kosentsa head-on, and that their only purpose was, as they themselves said, to prevent the Kosentsa from leaving the castle.

So if the Kosenca could leave the castle, where would they go?

"Go find anyone, Massimo," Alexander instructed, "preferably someone who is familiar with the vicinity of Kosenza, and bring it to me." ”

"That's very simple, just find a maid," Massimo said and beckoned to a maid who happened to pass by, seeing the slightly shy appearance of the fat woman with freckles on her face, the monk reluctantly walked over and brought her over, "Excuse me, my lord, she is a local and is familiar with the neighborhood." ”

"What do you command, sir?" The fat woman looked at Alexander with a wistful gaze, and the young knight captain was more appealing to the woman than the monk.

"What's around here, I mean near the castle?" Alexander asked first, and when he saw the woman's blank face, he could only change his tone slightly, "I mean, is there anything that the Kosencha people should pay attention to?" ”

As soon as Alexander had finished speaking, he saw the woman look at him with strange eyes, as if he had asked such a stupid question.

"My lord, of course there is something to be taken seriously in Cosenza," said the woman with a little pride, "and the county of Cosenza has the best hunting grounds, and it is said that even in the days of the Roman Empire, emperors often came to hunt. ”

"I said the hunting grounds, anything else?" Alexander reluctantly interrupted the maid.

"What else could there be," said the maid blankly, "but the hunting grounds and the granaries that could not be moved?" ”

"Granary?!" Alexander first exclaimed, and then he cursed, "I'm stupid!" ”

With that, he threw down the monk with a blank face, and the two strode out the door.

But as soon as he walked to the door, he met Jisha who also came in a hurry.

"Granary!"

"They're coming for the granary!"

The answer in unison stunned both of them, and then they saw the uneasy look on each other's faces.

"Naples!"

Both of them whispered at the same time.
