The dark narrow passage, only the sound of rapid breathing can be heard, this can only accommodate two people side by side passage long seems to have no end in sight, the Slavic soldiers crowded in this passage groping forward, each of them wanted to hurry through this oppressive place, when they entered the Mecklenburg gate under the leadership of their leader, they were confused by the complex structure of the buildings, soon some people lost in the castle, the only thing that made them happy was that the arrow tower above their heads did not shoot arrows at them, But before they knew it, they were divided into small teams by narrow passages and staircases, and the buildings inside looked almost identical, and their sense of direction was completely lost, and they even felt that they were completely trapped in this labyrinthine castle.

"Look, there's a light ahead." At this moment, the light that appeared at the end of the passage lifted the spirits of the people, and they breathed a sigh of relief, even if they were now facing the beating of the leader, they wanted to leave this terrible castle as soon as possible.

"Wow, wow~~~." Suddenly there was a scream from the people at the front, and those at the back of the line did not know what was happening, but there were those who had experienced the war and heard the sound of swords and axes, and the wails of those on their own side.

"Be careful, if you encounter an attack ahead, stretch out your spear and shield yourself." The experienced light infantry immediately shouted loudly, and the others immediately pointed their spears in front of them, and at this time the slashing sound in front disappeared without a trace, as if it had suddenly appeared, and the Slavic light infantry bent down, and the center of gravity was crowded together with each other and walked forward cautiously.

"Quack~~." Suddenly, a Slavic light infantryman stepped on something, and he bent down to pick up the soft and slippery thing he was stepping on. A smell of blood rushed to his nostrils.

"This is, vomit ~~~~." When he saw clearly in the faint light that it was a piece of human intestines, he threw the bloody thing against the wall and vomited, which must have been left by his companion who had just been killed, and after vomiting the contents of his stomach, he felt much more comfortable, but then he thought of a question, where did the corpses of his companions go?

"Bell." Just as the Slavic soldier was weakly leaning against the wall, suddenly he saw the wall portrait of a carved figure on the wall, and his eyes moved. It's like glaring at these invading uninvited guests. He couldn't help but bend down to see clearly, to make sure that he was not hallucinating out of fear, when suddenly an accident flashed from the statue's eyes.

"Puff~~~." The Slavic soldiers did not have time to shout. The right eye turned into a bloody hole. His body fell limply to the ground. The shield made a muffled thud and jumped on the ground a few times.

"What's going on, what's going on? The rear was also attacked by the enemy. "The fall of his comrades from the rear instantly broke the morale of the Slavic light infantry, who could barely maintain their formation. They made frightened noises, threw down their shields and spears, panicked like frightened rabbits, and scurried around the passage of the castle, most of them into a clearing surrounded by four high-walled buildings, one of which had an iron gate that resembled a city gate, which creaked up when the Slavic light infantry entered.

"Huhu~~~~." Something terrible seemed to be approaching from inside the building, and the Slavic light infantry looked pale and frightened at the black building from inside the iron gate, and many red stars suddenly appeared and twinkled towards them.

"Ah~~~~~." The screams of the Slavic light infantry pierced the sky above the castle, and the mounts of the javelinmen who met at the castle gate suddenly neighed, and they stood up uneasily, snorting at the castle, as if they were going to immediately avoid what was inside.

"Shhh The javelinmen soothed their horses under their crotches, unwillingly turned their horses and ran towards the besiegers' camp, occasionally looking back at Mecklenburg Castle with a frightened expression.

"Lord Earl, none of the soldiers who went in came out." Julian's face was not very good-looking, this was already the third attacking unit, but they had not seen a single enemy, but they had already lost more than a hundred people, and whispers began to appear among the soldiers, thinking that this was a castle full of devils.

"Psychological warfare Well, isn't there anyone who can clearly understand the structure inside?" Arold also felt very troubled, but as the leader of a team, he had to remain calm and restrained, otherwise his soldiers would see it and scatter in a hurry.

"So, isn't there a girl who escaped from it? Why don't you bring him in and ask him out. Julian thought for a moment and suggested to Arrod, who immediately approved it, but the village where the girl lived was a little far, and it seemed that it would not be possible to take the castle of Mecklenburg today, but it was a lonely city without foreign aid, and it was only a matter of time before it fell.

At night, Arold stood in front of his tent in the camp, the bonfires lit by the soldiers around him reflected the entire hill as if it were daytime, even the remaining more than 900 soldiers filled the place, Arold with so many soldiers looked at the dark and gloomy Mecklenburg Castle, and actually had a feeling of powerlessness, he had knowledge and insight beyond all people in this era, but in front of such a medieval castle, he found that his means were not enough for the first time, Is it necessary to build large catapults to tear down the castle bit by bit? Not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive, even the recruited Slavic light infantry could not follow him for a long time, which made Arold even more eager for a professional army.

At noon the next day, the girl was brought by the Javelin Cavalry, who led her to Arrod's tent, and looked at the frightened fawn-like maiden in front of her, and the scars on her uncovered skin, which showed that she had been very cruelly abused, and although she could not bear to remind the girl of the terrible experience, Arold had to ask her about the castle in order to break through the castle.

"I know it's scary to remind you of what happened inside the castle, but we have to find out what happened inside in order to save your friends." Looking at the silent girl in front of her, Arold had to persuade her patiently, and asked Melinda to translate, the girl had her long hair hanging down and covered her face, her shabby thick linen dress, and her feet wore bulky felt shoes.

“……”

"Do you know how many of us have died in it?" Julian shouted angrily at the girl.

"Shut up, you're scaring her." Melinda hurriedly held the girl's trembling shoulders and said to Julian dissatisfied.

"The nobles in the castle have gathered everyone in the main tower, and there are only a few people in the castle who are defending, and they rotate three times a day, and three groups take turns in the morning, noon and evening." The girl held her left arm with her right hand, and she said in a trembling voice with tears in her eyes.

"Oh, so aren't there any other special traps besides the guards?" Arrod didn't believe that the guards alone could wipe out more than 100 of his own people silently, and there must be some other mechanism among them, but he didn't find it.

"Yes, the nobles shut themselves up in the towers because they let out the terrible bears, which wandered between the courtyards and buildings of the castle." The girl trembled even more, and there was a place on her back that was scratched by the bear's claws, and if she hadn't escaped when the bears were full, she would have surely become the dinner of those bears, and the bears ate the corpses of the sisters who had been ravaged by the nobles and died of blood sacrifices, and the thought of those bloody corpse parts made the girl's throat itch and uncomfortable.

"Sister, this is a closed door to let the dog go, oh no, it's a bear release." Arold listened to the scalp and exploded, these damn Slavic nobles have been a virtuous person since ancient times, and they will play with bears, but how to deal with them now.

"Shhhh Melinda hugged the girl, stroked her back and comforted her.

"Don't worry, Lord Earl, we can find hunters to deal with the bears, is there anything else we need to pay attention to?" Julian said to Arold, sure enough, there are bears that are herded and there are bears, and animals are sometimes easier to deal with than people.

"Well, yes, are there any other traps?" Arold figured out what was going on in the castle, and he made up his mind, the most terrible thing is to face the unknown, once he knows it, fear will disappear without a trace.

"A noble officer, who, when he was, uh, bragged to me about the hidden walls in the passages connecting the many castle buildings, and the guards hid in the hidden walls against the invaders." The girl blushed and whispered, if it weren't for Melinda supporting her, she would have almost fainted in shame.

"Uh, Dark Wall, no wonder, but I have an idea about this, hehe." In order to capture Mecklenburg Castle, Arold also made a lot of weapons that were ahead of the times, but he didn't expect that there were weapons to deal with this kind of defense, and when he thought of the guards who hid in the shadows and secretly attacked his soldiers, he was angry and itched, and he also let them taste the power of the weapons of the times.

"Lord Earl, Lord Count, you are fine." Melinda looked at Arold for a while, and then with a gritted tooth touch, and patted his arm worriedly, and the girl also looked at the young unspoken earl strangely, and found that he did not have the unbeatable touch of the nobles at all, but was amiable like the big brothers in the village, and could not help but laugh out loud.

"Well, hahaha, ahem, Julian immediately went to the bear hunter." The problem was solved, and Arrod rarely replied to the young man's character, but he was embarrassed by the girl's laughter, pretended to cough, touched his nose, and ordered Julian seriously. (To be continued......)
