Sunset. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The Wuthering Castle, baptized by gunfire, stands quietly in the golden afterglow of the sunset, like an old man who is sick and dying.

Groups of soldiers were stripped of their armor and weapons, strung together with ropes, and walked out of the castle dejectedly.

The soldiers in those castles were not as brave and fearless as Wu Ming expected, and after a series of blows, they immediately chose to surrender unconditionally.

Although the remaining few die-hard elements were still hiding in the castle and resisting stubbornly, they could not make any big waves in the face of a carpet search of 4,000 people.

"But...... It's not a short time to clean up this castle, I'm afraid I'll have to break my promise and live outside tonight!" ”

Wu Ming looked at the nobles around him and suddenly smiled.

"One day to capture Whistling Castle, and it's not the same ghost who had the Viscount of Eagle Castle like the Wellington family before......"

Baron Wilfer said in a tone of amazement: "Baron William, you will definitely be famous in the entire Thorr Continent!" ”

Although they did not immediately enter the Wuthering Castle for safety reasons, as Wu Ming's people began to control various key points, news continued to come.

"Most of the soldiers have stopped resisting, become our prisoners, and have been escorted out of the castle!"

"All the lookouts and arrow towers have been occupied, and they are being searched and investigated!"

"Arrive at the council hall and find the Viscount of Eagle Castle and several other knights of the Wellington family, as well as a wave of soldiers, resisting!"

……

Wu Ming waited quietly, especially after carrying a few small wooden cannons in, there were suddenly a few loud noises in the castle, and then the latest battle report came: "The hall has been captured, and the Viscount of Eagle Castle has been captured!" ”

Soon, a wave of soldiers carrying a stretcher came out.

Wu Ming stepped forward slightly to take a look, the Viscount of Eagle Castle had a very eye-catching hooked nose, and his white and golden hair was swaying and shining, but his face was as pale as paper at this time, and the whole person fainted.

It was evident that he had put up extremely fierce resistance, and several wounds on his body were oozing blood.

"Try to save his life!"

Wu Ming waved his hand and let the stretcher go down, and then saw several nobles tied up.

They vaguely have a temperament similar to that of Viscount Garcia, and they are full of arrogance: "You'd better let us go, otherwise the Xiongshi family won't let go of anyone who humiliates them!" ”

"I'll see!"

Wu Ming was a little speechless, and immediately ordered them to be taken down and strictly guarded, especially to stop their mouths.

"Let's go! Let's go to the castle and have a look! ”

He was slightly stunned, and immediately clenched the dragon's heart sword in his hand and walked into the Whistling Castle.

Wu Ming has been here more than once, but before that, as a vassal of the Earl of Blue Mountain, he gave him gifts and donations, but today, as the master, he came here again.

He walked through the ruins to the castle and closed his eyes slightly.

In the void, golden points of light were absorbed by his body and stored in the heart of the king as a reserve for the power of all peoples.

"Hasn't it increased much, is it because it hasn't yet exercised effective rule and turned Wuthering City into its own power?"

This discovery made him better understand the nature of the power of the people.

It is necessary to have a real and visible increase in strength in order to bring awe and dependence, and to gain more power of the people.

Just like now, although he has taken over the ruling core of the blue bloods, if he can't effectively implement his own policies and obtain the taxes and population of this land, not only will there be no gains, but there will be losses.

"Still, a little bit is enough!"

He mobilized a trace of the power of the people, amplified his perception, like a mental scan, and imprinted everything within a hundred feet of the vicinity into the sea of consciousness.

The secret compartments, secret passages, and even everything buried underground could not escape his perception.

"Just a few more walks, and the whole castle can almost be cleared......

Wu Ming sighed.

With his strength, he is naturally not afraid of someone ambushing and preparing to assassinate.

But for his soldiers, the scattered rats hiding in the castle were a mortal danger and more likely to deal a blow to morale.

He wasn't ready to move here until he was completely sure that Whistling Castle was safe.

"In the entire Wuthering Castle, all the people, including the maids, grooms, and cooks, must be moved out, strictly guarded, and carefully screened!"

He said as he turned to what looked like a storeroom.

"Remove these shelves, there's a secret door behind the wall, and the enemy is ambushed inside!"

Through the mental power scan, he could clearly see more than a dozen soldiers with nervous faces behind the secret door, and even the situation of them clenching the blades in their hands was clearly visible.

"Got it!"

Ava ordered a few soldiers to move the shelves, and with a sinister smile on his face, he took out an iron spear and stabbed it against the wall.

Burst!

The plank was pierced, a bloody hole emerged, and a large amount of blood flowed out.

From the walls, there was a scream and more curses, as if they knew the end was coming.

"Shoot!"

Ava didn't care in the slightest, and directly ordered the crossbowmen to shoot a flurry of arrows at the wall, and then opened the secret door again, and a string of corpses poured out, blood gushing out.

Next, Wu Ming used his spiritual strength to find several secret doors and several assassins.

"Where is this?"

Before a room, he stopped again.

"It should be a certain young lady's boudoir!"

Ava clenched his long sword, and he was no stranger to Wu Ming's ability.

"Don't be rough, there seems to be an interesting prey inside!"

Wu Ming smiled slightly.

"Interesting prey? A big fish! ”

Ava's eyes lit up, and he violently kicked open the door and rushed in.

The furniture and furnishings in the room are clear at a glance, and there are many purple and pink dresses in the cabinets, with a light smell of perfume, and it seems that the former owner of this place may have been a young girl who has just come of age.

"Behind the closet!"

Wu Ming said directly.

"Please!"

Ava stepped forward, and the sword seemed to be about to stab.

"Wait a minute, I'll come out by myself!"

A screaming voice came from behind the closet, and then a young blonde nobleman came out of it and raised his hands high: "I don't have a weapon, and there is only one person inside, you can search at will, what I said is true!" ”

"What is your relationship with Viscount Garcia?"

Wu Ming suddenly asked, this nobleman is very similar in appearance to Garcia.

"Introduce myself, my name is Gail! Gail Wellington, Garcia's cousin! ”

Gail smiled bitterly and touched his nose: "He is also one of the commanders of the Highland Knight Legion this time!" You know what I'm talking about, congratulations! You have achieved the highest feats of knighthood and captured the opposing commander! Although in the family, my talents are far inferior to those of Cousin Garcia, let alone our genius......"

He's quite talkative, but he's not so annoying.

"Sure enough...... The Wellington family, how could they only send that group of fools outside! ”

Wu Ming nodded: "I accept your surrender, if you cooperate, you will get the treatment you deserve!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Gail gave Wu Ming a standard and elegant aristocratic salute: "I would like to ask, since you are here, have the cavalry led by Smith been defeated?" ”

"Actually, no!"

Wu Ming shook his head: "And he also killed my feudal lord, I am about to integrate the power of Wuthering City and fight to the death with those monarch killers!" ”

"Finally...... Has it come to this point? ”

Gail smiled bitterly: "Although I strongly advise the family not to provoke the tradition of a long-standing noble group and let my cousin Garcia take charge of all this, unfortunately, this opinion is not accepted by them!" ”

"Okay, I answered one of your questions, and in return, you should answer me too!"

Wu Ming said in a deep voice.

"Fair enough! Just ask! ”

Gail shrugged his shoulders.

"Where is the widow of the Earl of the Blue Mountains, and his sons and daughters?"

Wu Ming originally thought that they disdained to take the family of the Earl of Blue Mountains as hostages, but after entering the castle, they found that in fact, the family members of the Earl of the Blue Mountains had not fallen into their hands.

"There are too many secrets in Wuthering Castle, even the Viscount of Eagle Castle only knows part of it!"

Gale smiled bitterly: "On the day of the attack, when she found out that something was wrong, the countess had already escaped from an unknown secret passage with several young ladies...... We only had time to detain a few other concubines and concubines...... And even more unfortunately, they have died in the chaos! ”

"I see!"

Wu Ming waved his hand and ordered someone to take Gail down, but he fell into a deep groan.

The Earl of the Blue Mountains had a large number of daughters, but the heirs were quite difficult.

The eldest son is the orthodox heir, and he took him to exercise, and this time it was also very auspicious, and the other children were all underage, and it was difficult to say what would happen when they were in a war at this time.

"Your Excellency!"

At this time, all the henchmen in the castle seemed to have a fire in Ava's eyes: "The Earl has promised to marry a daughter to you, and all the nobles present at that time are witnesses, if the Earl of the Blue Mountains is no heir......"

Once there is no son, it is natural to inherit the title of earl as a son-in-law.

"You don't have to be so deliberate, even if the bloodline of the Earl of Blue Mountain is still circulating, what is it?"

Wu Ming turned around, his gaze was very playful: "At this time, can the Fengying Plains accept the leadership of a minor earl?" What's more, in terms of blood, the Earl of Blue Mountain is not without brothers and sisters......"

By this time, the era of heroes by blood has long passed, and only by mastering power can you be truly strong!
