Chapter 19: The Château de LeBlanc

The Château de LeBlanc, located in the countryside 100 km south of Paris, was built in the middle of the 14th century and is famous for its Château de l'École racecourse. To this day, the castle is surrounded by a vast forest of pine, oak, chestnut and maple trees, where the kings and nobles hunted.

The outer perimeter of the castle is surrounded by old medieval walls, and at the edge of the walls, a moat 20 meters deep is visible. An old hanging door is the only access to the banks of the moat.

In the inner courtyard of Château LeBlanc there is a pond, and in front of it is the eternal mark of the family, a marble statue of the first owner of the castle, who strides a tall warhorse, cloaks in armor, holds a broad-bladed sword and a shield with the family coat of arms, and looks forward with his head held high.

The castle is surrounded by clear water, swaying reflections, carp plump, geese flying in the blue sky, wild ducks flying across the water, and swans swimming calmly, like a crystal palace.

In the Middle Ages, through the courtyard you can see the old castle, the elaborate garden riding paths, the muffled sound of horses' hooves and the graceful knights. Now everything is calm, the hustle and bustle of the past is gone, forever frozen in the long river of history. All that remains is the tranquil castle and deep courtyard, which silently recounts the family's past glory to visitors.

Now the owner of the castle has settled in Paris, and handed over the castle to the butler, who only comes here every summer to escape the summer, and the rest of the time, except for a few servants who do maintenance and cleaning work, the castle is deserted inside and outside.

However, for now, the fate of the steward and the servants is out of their control, and they are imprisoned in the basement of the castle by the CIA Vincent and his party, and the temporary owner of the castle has become Vincent. In the nearby cell, Dr. Kotmia is still being held.

The doctor leaned on the edge of the iron bars of his cell, listening to the sound of footsteps on the stairs leading to the basement, echoing through the small space.

It was Vincent, and he smiled like a cat crying mouse with fake compassion: "Dr. Cottemia, we meet again." "

"Hmph." The doctor tilted his head to the side.

"I'm sorry to have wronged you, please forgive my men for being rude and holding you in this place." Vincent waved his hand, and the agent next to him immediately turned the key, opened the cell door, and Vincent walked inside.

"I have dedicated my life to your project, but you have done this to me, what have I done wrong?" The doctor asked, dissatisfied.

"When you say that, you can see that we have always remembered your contribution and never forgot it. We're doing this out of desperation, just to keep you safe. Vincent said in a soothing tone, trying to calm the doctor's emotions.

"Protect me? In full view of everyone, they hijacked me. Separated me from my wife and children, your people are even attacking the police in the square, I don't know what kind of protection this is, I feel that what I need now is the protection of the police, not you. The doctor's eyes were filled with anger.

"Don't get so excited, Doctor, trust me, you'll be reunited with your family soon. Before that, I have to wronged you, and I ask for forgiveness for not taking care of the place. Vincent turned to the agent to the side and reprimanded, "What are you all doing?" It's afternoon, and the doctor's lunch hasn't been prepared yet. ”

"Yes, yes, the dereliction of duty of the subordinates, bring it over immediately." The agent looked uneasy.

"Well, then, I wish you a pleasant meal, and I won't bother." With Vincent finished, the agent locked the door and turned to leave.

Hugh was driving a German Volkswagen off-road vehicle, Mercedes-Benz on the intercity highway in Paris, Katyusha was in the passenger seat on the side, through the watch, turned on the holographic battlefield analysis projection, called up the enemy personnel distribution map of LeBlanc Castle, and carefully examined: "It's really strange, why are there only six armed personnel on it, could it be that there is a problem with the software?" ”

"Probably not, the number of people is small, and the trouble is often greater. The elite of CIA operatives are more difficult to deal with than the battle-tested military soldiers. We are not to be underestimated. Hugh said calmly, his eyes still staring ahead, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Be reasonable, and be cautious." Katyusha loaded the bullet from Glock 41 and inserted it into a holster on body armor.

Vincent was on the verandah on the second floor of the castle, looking at the flags of the noble families dancing in the wind, looking at the three medieval knight armors standing solemnly, holding spears or sharp swords, and giving a guard task to the five subordinates in front of him: "Harada Kojiro, go to the woods and hide in the woods, prepare to ambush the enemy." Sniper Anna goes to the attic at the top of the castle and prepares to block her target. The remaining three are scattered around the castle, and once they find the enemy, they will shoot them as a signal, gather their forces, surround them, and remember to catch them alive. ”

"Yes." The subordinates responded in unison.

A masked man in a ninja suit, carrying two ninja knives, one long and one short, and a row of ninja darts hanging from his waist, was the first to turn away, his light figure crossed the guardrail of the corridor, and before he could see the sound and shadow of him landing, the whole person disappeared into the air without a trace. Moments later, there was the sound of gears turning, and the drawbridge leading to the other side of the moat of LeBlanc Castle was slowly lowered, and a black shadow flashed across the bridge and disappeared into the forest across the moat.

The blonde Anna, dressed in a black tight-fitting leather jumpsuit, outlines her slender figure. She lifted the light yellow goggles, chewed Green Arrow gum in her mouth, a piece of cake, and a look of ambition.

Hugh drove the car into the boulevard by the castle and reminded Katyusha: "Did you hear anything?" ”

"It's like the buzzing of bees." Katyusha looked left and right inside the car.

I saw that at the end of the boulevard in the distance, a green dot flashing with golden light, getting bigger and closer, a Japanese Kawasaki Ninja Six-Eyed Demon God motorcycle, with a visual speed of 300 kilometers per hour, towards the direction of the German Volkswagen off-road vehicle, whistling, under the background of this high-speed movement, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen, stopped flowing. A ninja in black uniform pulled out a long ninja knife from his back from the sports car, stretched out, and kept the ground parallel to the windshield, aiming at the windshield of the Volkswagen SUV, and slicing head-on.

"Danger, leaning over." Hugh hurriedly pressed Katyusha's back, bent down to dodge the sudden attack, only to see a sharp blade, slashing at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, first cutting the front windshield of the car, then the head seat of the passenger seat, and finally piercing through the rear windshield. All the objects in this straight line were slashed in an instant.

The six-eyed demon god braked the car in front of him, and the ninja in the car had disappeared, Hugh stepped on the gas, intending to get out of this place and rid of this secret enemy.

I saw a row of ninja darts flying from the gap between the dense woods above, nailed to the roof of the car with a bang, a dart passed through the gap just now, and Hugh's right shoulder came out, a stinging pain came, Hugh couldn't care about the pain, pulled out the ninja dart, stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle rushed forward.

Katyusha opened the window of the car, aimed at the ninja hiding place above, raised the HKMP7 miniature submachine gun, and strafed past, leaving only scattered leaves, and still nowhere to be seen.

The off-road vehicle gradually drove forward, only to see a black shadow behind the trees on the right side of the car, the body was about to leave the boulevard and enter the open field in front of the castle of LeBlanc. The dark shadow behind him disappeared in an instant, silently.
