Walking up the outer city wall in the direction of the soldiers' attack, he looked far away, and the Earl of Vastor and the others had also taken down the Earl of Thomson, and looking at his distorted and painful expression, it was obvious that he was suffering intensely.

"What's the matter with me? It's just self-inflicted. ”

Shepard muttered to himself, a clear sound came, and he couldn't help but smile when he looked up at the steel-feathered griffin flapping its wings and soaring in the sky: "At least the battle here is over." ”

……

"Baron Prel, allow me to call you my most trusted friend! I assure you that I will submit to Her Majesty and Parliament an application for the canonization of you as an earl! ”

The vengeful Count of Vastor was full of red faces, and many nobles who had made military achievements also looked at Shepard with admiration or envy and jealousy.

Shepard, who was far more powerful than the king, only thanked the Count of Vaster gracefully, and congratulated the Count on his revenge.

Count Vast smiled and said, "Thanks to you, Shepard! Without you and your pet, Thomson wouldn't have been captured alive by me so easily! If you hadn't opened the gates from the inside, our soldiers would have died at least a thousand more! Now we have taken the family castle of Salibota and taken five hundred prisoners at the cost of only three hundred casualties! ”

"You're going to have the right of choice, Shepard, and it's the reward you deserve!" The Earl of Vast.

Shepard narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing the jealousy and resentment of many people behind the earl, but he just put one hand on his shoulder indifferently and saluted: "Thank you for your justice, Your Excellency. ”

After saying that, he added: "Please allow me to choose a hundred of the captives, Your Excellency, you know that there is a shortage of soldiers in my territory. ”

Count Vast frowned slightly, then said cheerfully, "You can pick two hundred, Shepard, but you must control these people!" ”

Shepard raised his eyebrows, sneered inwardly, and said simply on the surface: "No problem, Your Excellency!" ”

……

Night.

The smoke of the daytime has not yet dissipated, and with the help of the blazing torches and lit fires on the walls, many soldiers of the Eastern Route Army are still collecting the corpses left on the battlefield and recovering the materials that can still be used.

Shepard, who had neither found a comfortable room to rest nor feast on the delicate maids, was so out of place compared to the nobles who were scavenging for loot and treasure in the castle, for he had brought his two hundred captives into the courtyard, behind him Sidney Jeff Tommar and others silently awaiting his orders.

Nearly half of the two hundred were Shepard's guards who had surrendered in the halls of the castle, and they had seen his strength and had succumbed before him, and were more malleable than the other captives.

Shepard glanced at the two hundred degrading captives, their equipment and weapons had been confiscated, and they were dressed only in ordinary sackcloth, but the number was mixed up, mixing the hundred captives who had yielded with the others.

"Sidney, I will appoint sixty men under your management, and appoint you as a herald, a squad of twelve for every one, and the leader of the squad will be appointed by you."

The military system of the Old World was as chaotic as the Middle Ages in the previous life, which made Shepard dislike, so he applied the military system of the kingdom to the herald, and the herald was the name of the military system, not the real herald soldier.

These captives were all guards selected by the Salibotta family in their territory, and even if they were not professionals, they were physically fit, and they were not as thin as ordinary lords or serfs.

Sidney took the order of his own accord, and although he had always been a lone ranger, he had no problem managing dozens of people.

"Jeff, you have selected enough people to make up twenty people, and in the future, as my personal guard, the rest will be under my direct jurisdiction!"

The so-called art masters are bold, but Shepard is not afraid that this group of captives, who are not even intermediate, will dare to rebel, and directly dare to be his personal guard.

Jeffrey paused for a moment, and immediately took the order loudly in ecstaty, since he saw Sidney, he thought he was going to lose his job, but he didn't think about how Shepard could let a strong man who had reached the epic level to be the captain of the army, although Sidney has not yet recovered to its heyday, and now it is only fifty percent of its strength, but it is also outstanding when attacking the city, especially he is a spell swordsman, although he is not in good shape now, it is still okay to throw a wind blade, a missile and other spells.

Several orders were issued, and the remaining 120 people were divided into squads, and two squadron leaders and twelve squad leaders were appointed, but this was not like Sidney to lead a team, and there was a slight difference in the division system.

Although leading troops is not Shepard's strong point, but with his strength and prestige, he can still deter this group of new annexes, and when the arrangement is almost the same, let everyone be stationed on the first floor of the castle, 6,000 troops, no matter how big this castle is, it can't fit it, so only the nobles and their guards can move in, and Shepard is not at ease enough to let these captives move around, so he confined them to the castle hall, found some blankets and other things at random, made do with them for one night, and then dragged them to the barracks the next day.

His men spent the night in the hall, with Sidney and Jeff watching, leaving Tommar there to be a little training, and Shepard went upstairs alone.

The bedrooms in the castle were all above the third floor, and Shepard casually pushed one open, seeing that the environment was not bad, and he didn't find any boys and girls hiding in the closet, but he didn't go in, but closed the door again.

Naturally, there are still some ladies of the Salibotta family in the castle, and with the exception of the Count of Vast, who has no interest in avenging the vengeance, many others are enjoying the rights of the victors.

Walking up the stairwell of the castle, his men thought that the Baron was looking for a bedroom to rest, but in fact he made his way to the top floor of the castle, avoiding the rooms with or without the sound of low breathing, and touching the largest study of the Salibotta family in the castle.

It is obviously impossible to expect those illiterate soldiers to understand the value of knowledge, and the basic nobles of any kingdom are also mostly uneducated, Count Vaster may cherish the accumulation of a family's knowledge, but he is now enjoying the joy of revenge, the books that the Salibotta family has treasured for hundreds of years are now full of gloomy spread from the carefully placed bookshelves to the ground.

Crunch –

The half-hidden door of the study was pushed open, and even with the careful maintenance and oiling of the servants, the wooden door, which had been hundreds of years old, inevitably had a sound when it was opened.

The figure in the travel boots avoided the books that had fallen on the ground, and with a wave of his hand, he saw that the walls were full of clean or defaced books and disappeared, and when he walked around the study, the four walls were empty, as if they had been ransacked.

Shepard stood in the center of the study, playing with a gold openwork and silver handwarmer with red sapphires in his hand, this one handwarmer alone was worth hundreds of gold coins, enough to buy a few sophisticated military-made weapons.

As soon as he flipped his hand, the hand warmer fell into the half-plane, and Shepard broke four silver candlesticks in his study, and accidentally broke three precious porcelain from the East, and finally determined that there was no secret room in the study like in the city of Salibota.

"Strange, although the family castle of Salibotta has not fallen, there are also people who have exposed the treasures touched by the gentleman on the beam, since there is no secret room, is it a secret cabinet?"

There was a thick plush carpet on the floor of the study, but the original expensive ornament was now full of thick footprints mixed with blood and mud, and with a flick of Shepard's fingers, a few sparks fell on the carpet, and in an instant, a fire ignited, burning the thick carpet to ashes, but not anything else in the room.

Beneath the burnt carpet exposed the flat floor of the study, but Shepard's eagle-sharp gaze swept every inch of the ground suspicious, and he couldn't see anything that seemed to be a crack in the secret space.

Walking to the desk on the side of the study, Shepard subconsciously leaned back, but the desk did not move, as if it was fixed to the ground, his eyes lit up, he took a few steps back to observe the desk, and only after a long time did he put his hand on a few reliefs, feeling the traces left by long-term groping and pressing on it.

A few crisp sounds of traps opening, the old families all preferred these traps that were difficult to detect or crack by magic, and a little dust fell from the walls, revealing a portal that could only be accessed sideways.

"It looks like it's still a secret room." It was not a big deal to guess wrong, Shepard looked outside the study to see if there were any uninvited guests, and saw that there was no one around to lock the door of the study, and walked back sideways into the ancient treasure room of the Salibotta family.

There are still neatly placed treasure chests piled up in the house, but the evil altar of revenge is missing, and there are still enchanted weapons on the wall that shine with the luster of various ** spells, but judging from the vaguely connected magic protection, it may only be touched by someone who has a bloodline and a key.

When I opened all the boxes, I found that they were all gold and jewelry, and there were only two small and delicate metal boxes, one containing neatly stacked magic scrolls and a few books of war skills that had been found in the city of Saribota, and the other was containing some rare magic materials, such as Mithril Essence Gold, which was only a small amount, but for Shepard, who was sitting in a mage's secret room made of rare materials, such things were not enough.

Looking up at the weapons and equipment around him, it is obvious that the real treasure in the secret room is here, if you want to change someone, you may have to take into account whether this magic defense has a self-destructing setting, but Shepard can see at a glance that this magic enchantment is mainly based on alarm and restraint, but he doesn't pay attention to these two points, relying on the divine power shield on his body, he insists on taking off the enchanted items on the wall.
