After hearing the alarm, the two people standing in place looked up at the ceiling together with the ghoul, and after a long pause, Locke sighed faintly: "It's still here after all." ”

Then he took out the illusory mirror and said with a serious face: "Mobilize all the skeleton and ghoul troops and prepare for battle!" ”

"Yes!"

Anne put away her playful appearance, bowed with a solemn expression, and immediately shrank into the shape of an elf.

It's the first battle after the castle is upgraded, and it has to be taken seriously no matter what, the state of war, the castle needs energy at any time to trigger high-intensity traps, and she has removed the energy to maintain the shape of a child, first, in line with the idea of saving money, and secondly, it is also convenient to mobilize and let the defenses communicate with Locke - although no enemy buildings have been built yet.

Locke, who was speeding down the corridor, flipped through the picture with the illusory mirror and asked the elf flying next to his ears, "Report the situation." ”

The elf paused slightly, turned his head and said, "They have just arrived at the gate of the city, there are more than a hundred, and the rank level is around the second and a half orders, led by three third-order knights. ”

This group is supposed to be just a scout team, and keeping them out will attract more enemies, so if that's the case, then it's all about it!

After thinking of the countermeasure, Luo nodded and said, "Let them come in and analyze their route after that." ”

The elf fell silent as Locke stared in the mirror at the sight of a group of knights on horses and white plate armor slowly entering the city.

"The lancers of the Fenrir Empire?" Looking at the banner with the wolf's head on a blue background fluttering in the ranks, Locke muttered under his breath.

One of the forces in "Wrath of the Gods" is also one of the most expansive, and the legion is characterized by cavalry, among which the heavy armored lancers are the most prominent.

In the picture, the group of humans carrying triangular shields and holding conical knight spears kept looking around after entering the city, and when they came to the palace gate, one of them dismounted and began to knock on the door, but unfortunately after waiting for a long time, no one came out.

"I'm sorry, I haven't had time to make a butler yet." Locke laughed unconsciously as he watched the group of people standing there like a bunch of fools, and then looked up at the invisible elven assistance system in the air and said, "Help me connect with those people." ”

The new elf assistance system is a sub-program of Anne, and when little Anne is focused on a task and has no time to manage other matters, this system will automatically take over the rest of her, as is the case now.

"Connected, you can speak." Another steady voice sounded in my ears.

Locke turned his head to look at the elf next to him who was closing his eyes and flapping his wings, looking attentive.

"Ahem!" Locke retracted his gaze and asked in a different deep voice into the image in the illusory mirror, "What are the people of the Fenrir Empire doing here?" ”

When the knights heard this, they immediately began to stir, and then one of them, wearing a golden wolf-headed plate armor and a bright red cloak, looked up and said, "I am Brady in the Hodson region of the Empire. Count Patrick, you have violated Imperial Agreement No. 326, which is an Imperial territory, and anyone who builds a castle without consent will have all his property confiscated and flushed into the Duchy's treasury! ”

Watching the Count in the picture babble threatening words such as 'If you don't comply, you will be ruthlessly crushed by the Empire', Locke kept staring at his armor: it might be a good idea to dissolve that thing to make a golden nest for his ghoul captain.

Then he turned to look at the elves and asked, "I'm going to let them in, are you ready?" ”

Anne closed her eyes and nodded.

"If you have the guts, come in and try it!" As Locke's words fell, the palace gates opened, which caught the group of people outside the gate a little off guard—they had thought that the lord here would fight for a while, and then send someone out of the city in anger so that the earl could justifiably lead his troops to attack.

And now......

Looking at the quietly open gate in front of him, Brady, who only brought a hundred guards, began to hesitate at this moment.

"Your Excellency!" A knight next to him rode up and said, "I just investigated, and there are no guards nearby, and it looks like an empty city." ”

"My lord, this city must have just been built, and there are not many defenses, and we have never heard of such a strange castle here."

"Could it be the phantom made by those witches?"

"It's hard to say, please decide."

The surrounding subordinates were talking about it, all of them were surprised by the sudden appearance of the castle, but everyone's tone revealed that they wanted to go in and have a look, but the cautious Brady still hesitated not to enter.

"My lord! They shouldn't have many guards, and we have the support of the entire Fenrir Empire behind us! If they dare to touch you, they'll have to weigh it! ”

When this last sentence appeared, Brady's eyes lit up, and he immediately stabilized his mind, and nodded: "All dismount!" Come in with me! There is no mercy for those who resist! ”

In the illusory mirror, a group of people were shown striding into the hall, and then they looked at the surrounding golden decorations in amazement, each revealing the face of a robber, Locke frowned when he saw this, and asked Anne, "How?" ”

"There's a 70% chance they'll be separated in the dance hall. There should be less than 30 people who can finally reach the superstructure area. ”

"Why?"

Anne looked at the image in Locke's illusion and said slowly, "Greed. ”

"That's right." Locke nodded.

Since the castle has been energized, coupled with the restoration and restoration work in the past few days, the interior decoration of the entire castle has basically been restored to the previous heyday:

Each corridor is lined with exquisite knights' armor, precious picture frames inlaid with gems and crystals, high-grade beast carpets in every room, antiques from the old age without losing color, and large crystal chandeliers, all revealing a luxurious scene.

That's why the intruders let out a burst of exclamations.

Things went just as Locke had expected, and when the group found that there was no one to guard it, they were bold enough to take something and put it in their pockets, and seeing that the Count didn't say anything, they began to scavenge freely.

It wasn't until they reached a large rotunda that they were so surprised by the spectacle that they couldn't stop talking...... (To be continued)
