The soldier blushed and wanted to say something more, but I shook my head and stopped him, snatched the bag of fire oil and tied it to my body, and took fifteen crack soldiers, carrying crossbow arrows on their backs, and led the fat cook first, while the rest of the soldiers went to the granary by the stairs in the other direction.

At intervals in the corridors, blazing torches were inserted to illuminate the nearly 100-meter-long wooden wall, and the flames had turned black from the long smoke, as if they had big eyes painted with eye shadow, staring at the uninvited guests who broke into the castle with empty pupils.

"Be careful, there are guards over there."

The fat cook deftly tucked his body behind the battlements, reached out to stop my soldiers from moving on, and poked out his head to look intently at a few Polish soldiers who were running quickly from a distance with spears on their shoulders.

The other party was wearing uniform leather armor, it seemed that the level was not high, it should be just an ordinary soldier guarding the castle, they were arguing with each other while running, the soldier running at the front was the only one wearing an iron helmet, he shouted to stop the dispute between his comrades, pointed in the direction of the granary and muttered for a long time, the Polish soldiers all closed their mouths when they saw this, and honestly walked towards the battlement where we were hiding.

My nervous forehead was sweating, although the other party was not numerous, but in the empty corridor, once it was not handled well, it could not be completely annihilated, and any movement would definitely alarm the enemy in the tower, and then it would be impossible to steal the chicken and lose the rice, and I would lose myself, so I had to wait for a favorable opportunity to win with one blow, but there was not much time left for me to make a decision, and the shadow of the Polish soldiers stretched by the fire was getting closer and closer.

Just when I hesitated, the fat cook suddenly staggered out with his head in his arms, and the round appearance was like a crazy wild boar, which not only shocked us into a cold sweat, but also startled the Polish soldiers who bumped into him head-on, and several spears stabbed indiscriminately, forcing the fat cook to scream non-stop, like a puffer fish that had been skinned, bulging into a ball, and the sharp decibels shook both the enemy and us were stunned.

"It's you bastard!"

The Polish soldier scolded hatefully, waved his hand to make his nervous comrade put away his spear, stepped forward and kicked him down, raising his voice to hide his weakness just now.

"Don't stay in the kitchen and scare people by running around!"

"My lord, it's not good, the granary was attacked by robbers, and all the soldiers guarding the barn were killed, and the blood was terrible, fortunately I ran out with flexible legs and feet, otherwise I would have been skinned by the demons who killed people without blinking!"

The fat chef held his head and performed exaggeratedly, and his superb acting skills were no less than the old drama bones that won the Oscar, bluffing the enemy into his emotions and deceiving the other party.

"The robbers must have been pirates from Sweden and Denmark, golden-haired, as strong as oxen, and as numerous as the stars in the sky, constantly pouring in through the gaps that had been conquered, chopping people at the sight of people with axes the size of millstones, and eating alive the flesh of men! It must be a demon descended from the gods! ”

Listening to his flickering Poles' frightened round eyes, the timid ones had weak legs and were so frightened that they peed their pants, and one ran to the city wall to vomit, only the soldier who hit the head was still in a stable mood, he took off his helmet, frowned and was about to speak, the fat cook suddenly burst out, and at a speed that could not be concealed, I don't know where to conjure a sharp dagger, cut the throat of the other party, and the rest of the Poles did not wait for a reaction, my soldier raised the crossbow and pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow accurately sank into the heart, The cowhide armor lost its ability to protect the body in the face of high-torque crossbow arrows, and was as fragile as a piece of rice paper.

The frightened soft-legged Pole, trembling stared at the fat cook who was shaking in front of him with a dagger, and couldn't make any sound with tears, as if the girl who had been pricked by an embroidery needle, the fat cook held his head, and kindly brushed away the hair blocking his neck, found the position of his throat, and sent him to God with a sharp knife.

"You're pretty good!" While the soldiers were checking to see if there were any living enemies, I gave a thumbs up to the fat cook.

"I haven't practiced for many years, and I'm a lot unfamiliar, let's go."

The fat cook played a handsome knife trick, tucked the dagger into his sleeve, looked up to confirm the movement at the end of the corridor, and beckoned us to go.

"This group of people may have gone to deliver orders, and if they don't go back to the tower for a long time, they must know that things are not good, so we must move quickly. Dress up in Polish clothes and come with me to see if you can fish in troubled waters and get close to Princess Figura's room. ”

I nodded, and immediately ordered the soldiers to hurriedly rip off the corpse's armor and put it on, dress themselves as Poles, and follow the fat cook down the corridor to the tower in the center of the castle.

From time to time along the way, we encountered enemies running around in a hurry, most of them glanced at us and went on with their business, maybe the fat cook's realistic acting skills earned too many eyeballs, but no one paid attention to checking our identity, at least in my opinion, most of the soldiers wore leather armor that did not fit, and even some of them had their pants hanging from their feet!

After a period of heart-to-throat travel, we finally came to the living quarters on the top floor of the tower, and there were more and more soldiers standing guard, as long as I found that someone was staring at me for too long, I would bow my head and hurry, for fear that my nervous cheeks would reveal my identity, but the focus of the Polish soldiers defending the city was on the fire that was burning more and more in the city, and on the unquelled riots, they carried spears and gathered together in twos and threes, guessing the number and purpose of the enemy, It was impossible to imagine that a sharp knife had been plunged into their hearts.

"Stop!"

In front of a closed room, heavily armed soldiers, most of them dressed in well-made chain mail, leaning together with their arms and shields, presumably the vassals and knights directly under the Grand Duke's family, a tall and strong man drank us from a distance, and with his voice the knights drew their bowstrings, and their eyes were aimed at us who had appeared strangely.

It stands to reason that low-ranking soldiers are not allowed to appear in the areas where the nobles live without authorization, but the fat cook at the head is a familiar friend of theirs, so the chief attendant in charge decides to ask what happened.

"Fat Robbie, how did you get here, is there any news from the left flank fortress?"

"My lord, it's me, your loyal servant Fat Robbie, please don't point a bow and arrow at my head, it's like being pressed on a chopping board with a knife and chopping my head!" The fat cook's trembling voice showed cowardice in his heart, which also made the chief attendant relax his vigilance, and waved his hand to signal his men to put away their bows and arrows.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"The hairy barbarians attacked through the gap in the fortress, and one of them carried the bloody head of Lord Shelov, and the soldiers defending the city all collapsed when they saw it, and the barbarians took the granary without much effort, don't believe it!"

Fat Robbie pointed out the window in the direction of the fortress, there is no telling when the flames will burst into the sky, presumably our warriors have already succeeded, the screams of the crowd and the violent explosion of fire oil continue to echo in the valley, undoubtedly adding to the terrifying atmosphere.

"We're finished, the barbarians are invincible, they're going to kill them soon!" After saying this, the fat cook glanced vaguely, and we immediately stared at the direction of the fire with understanding, showing all kinds of frightened expressions, as if we were a rout soldier who had just picked up a life from the blood hell.

"Gotabi, you take a few people over and have a look!"

The chief attendant frowned solemnly, and began to issue orders to stabilize the situation, and must not let the atmosphere of decadence disturb the area he was responsible for, he sent several knights to the burning fortress, hoping to grasp the actual casualties, if the number of enemies is indeed as Fat Robbie said, as the chief attendant himself, he must arrange for Princess Figura to go out of the city, he turned around and pointed to us who were still performing hard, and ordered:

"A few of you go with Lord Gotabi, and by the way, inform the right wing tower to be on guard and keep in touch."

"Yes, sir."

I slowly slid my hand into the pocket on my back, and a soldier stood beside me with a torch, and the squire watched our every move suspiciously, I couldn't understand why these soldiers were so strange and disobedient, but he might never understand this question, because the monstrous flames and snake-like flames instantly burned the knights into canned pork, and the minced meat and sawdust caused by the explosion flew all over the sky, and several of our soldiers were also injured, and it was impossible to effectively avoid damage at such a close distance.

"Rush in!"

I gritted my teeth and pulled out the half of the piece of wood that had been inserted in my arm, and shouted at the smoke-blown gate, ignoring the blood gushing out, "I don't want to see anyone alive except Figura!" ”

"You're here?"

When Figura was dragged out of the ruins by my people, there was no trace of panic and surprise on her face, as if the development of things was all in her expectation, and even my appearance was so logical, but it made me, who thought of myself as the winner, forget the lines prepared in advance, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

"You Bichi, you dare to deceive me!"

I pulled her hair frantically and yelled, since there is nothing to say, just don't do it and sing blackface, I hate dealing with people who are smarter than me, not to mention a calm woman, falling into my hands can only count you unlucky.

"Is it an unforgivable sin for a woman to find a way to save herself when she is in danger?"

Figura glared at me again with her two big watery eyes, innocently staring at me, the aggressor who controlled her destiny, and all kinds of tenderness were like a killer weapon that could be freely retracted, and it would flood out without much effort.

"Are you complaining that I don't mean what I say? Please, sir, I'm a woman. ”
