As soon as he seized control of the city gates and the city walls, Dio sent men to dress up in the garb of the Scottish army, pretending to be Scottish soldiers guarding the city.

Fortunately, the French moved quickly and blockaded the scene well, otherwise they would have been unable to resist when the other Scottish troops came.

Standing anxiously on the city wall, Major Dio stroked the mossy city wall from time to time, looked up at the outside of the city wall from time to time, and kept moving back and forth on the city wall, and the whole person became more impatient as time passed.

Not only him, but the other French soldiers were also nervous, this was the moment of fighting.

But the minutes and seconds passed, and eight o'clock had not yet come.

Although the scene was cordoned off, it couldn't be concealed for long, and the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous he became.

At this time, in the bright moonlight, the English soldiers rode their horses, maintaining a constant speed, trotting gently, and the horses seemed to feel something, and the cries became less and less.

Earl Wilt, riding on horseback, wearing armor and a serious face, took the lead in front of the troops, leading the troops.

The soldiers behind him didn't say a word, but their faces glowed red with excitement.

It is clear that the soldiers remembered the benefits of plundering the city, and anyone would be thrilled by such a large income.

This was not ordered by His Majesty the King, Cooper thought to himself.

"Your Excellency the Earl, I wonder if you have told my soldiers what the king conveyed before?"

Riding his horse, Cooper quickened his speed and came to Earl Wilson's side, and asked in a deep voice.

"This—" Earl Wilson's eyes rolled as he glanced at His Majesty's secret agent, "Oops! I forgot, this old age, my memory is poor, really! ”

Cooper's eyelids moved for Earl Wilson's excuse, and he didn't speak, staring directly at him.

"I'll announce it right away, thanks to your reminder, otherwise I would have almost missed a big thing!" The Earl Wilson then said repentantly, so he was as sincere as he wanted.

In fact, Cooper was unwilling to offend Earl Wilson about the plundering of Edinburgh, but before leaving, His Majesty the King repeatedly ordered that Earl Wilson must be dissuaded from plundering Edinburgh, otherwise he would have good fruit to eat.

And he also understands the thoughts of Earl Wilson, pretending that the soldiers do not know, and quietly making a fortune, His Majesty the King is afraid that he will not hold a thousand soldiers accountable!

Cooper tore off the Earl Wilson's disguise and immediately ordered not to plunder Edinburgh to reach the ears of the soldiers, and Cooper did not know how much resentment he had provoked.

But he can't do it, and it is important to complete His Majesty's task.

And so, by eight o'clock sharp, the troops had reached the walls of Edinburgh completely, quietly, hidden in the night.

At eight o'clock, a soldier with a lighted torch waved it towards the top of the city wall, trying to attract attention.

Earl Wilson kept his eyes fixed on the gates, contemplating the plan of action.

Suddenly, the drawbridge was lowered and the closed gates slowly opened.

"Everyone, rush with me—" shouted Earl Wilson, who no longer grinned, grabbed the reins of his horse, clamped his legs, and shouted.

Immediately, the cavalry also came to their senses, brandished their whips, and rushed forward.

"Boom—" The horses ran uncontrollably, and thousands of horses galloped with all their might, causing the earth to tremble.

Running into the city, Count Wilson found a group of people standing in front of him, and Cooper, who was beside him, took a closer look and saw that it was Major Theo and others.

"Your Excellency, they are the French army, and at the forefront is Major Theo!"

Earl Wilson, who had slowly stopped, heard Cooper's voice in his ears and nodded lightly to indicate that he understood.

Looking at the approaching cavalry, Major Dio calmed down and greeted him with a smile.

"Your Excellency, I am Theo. Let. Follow me, Cousland, and I will guide you to the Royal Palace and the Residences of the Scottish Ministers. ”

Major Dio lowered his posture and looked as if he was completely in the service of the English army.

"Haha! Mr. Major is too polite, you have worked hard this time, His Majesty the King will definitely reward you, and it will not be long before I should call you Your Excellency Baron! ”

Earl Wilson smiled, and his tone was very polite.

"Well, then, I'll trouble you now, Your Excellency Major!"

As soon as the Earl finished speaking, Major Dio's heart suddenly burst into joy, and his tone became more and more sincere.

"It's God's blessing, and I don't have enough credit for it!"

Immediately, the Earl Wilson had a horse led to Major Theo and asked him to lead the way.

Soon, the group arrived in the heart of Edinburgh, a castle that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Since its founding, Edinburgh has been known for its defence as its first priority, rather than for its commercial prosperity, as London has been.

Therefore, in addition to sending 500 soldiers to capture the rest of the ministers, the Earl Wilson took 1,000 French soldiers and 500 English cavalry to attack the royal castle.

As for why the French army participated, the reason given by the Earl was that the English soldiers were cavalry and were not good at attacking cities.

So, Major Dio pinched his nose and ordered the French to attack the castle together.

Fortunately, the English army had been on the defensive for half a year, and the castle was not well defended, and because it was night, the soldiers were even more lax than during the day.

More than 1,000 people quickly ascended the castle with low casualties, but when they came up, they encountered desperate resistance from the Scottish soldiers, and delayed for a long time.

With a sword stabbed to death a Scottish soldier who pounced, the Earl of Wilson and Major Theo stood back to back.

The Earl frowned, he felt that it would not work like this, there must be a secret passage in the castle, and the Queen Mother of Scotland would definitely run, this was a big trouble.

"Mr. Major, you send someone to resist first, I will take some people to catch the Queen Mother of Scotland, and I can't let him escape!"

With a trace of blood on his face, Major Dio felt that this opportunity for meritorious service could not be let go after listening to it.

"Lord Earl, I know her room, I'll take you there!"

"Boris, you have people to cover us, you must drag these Scots! Remember? ”

Immediately, Major Dio spoke loudly in French to Boris, who was fighting.

"Yes! Master! Wiping a handful of blood from his face, Boris agreed loudly.

"Let's go, Your Excellency the Earl!" Major Dio fought with the Scottish soldiers as he walked towards the exit.

In view of this, the Earl did not say anything, and it would be good to have someone to show the way.

At this time, Queen Mary, who had not yet fallen asleep, heard a rush of footsteps, and just as she was about to scold, the hurried maid immediately knelt down and hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, go quickly, the English have stormed the castle!"

"What? Is this true? Queen Mary hurriedly put on her clothes under the service of the maid who was waiting beside her, and approached and asked.

"Yes, I heard from the guards that the French army has attacked the castle, and the castle has been in a mess, and His Excellency the chief of the guard has told you to evacuate quickly!"

Hearing this, Queen Mother Mary was convinced, and immediately, she immediately called the guards near the bedroom, plus some personal maids, and hurriedly prepared to leave from the secret passage.
