Chapter 313: Extreme Situation, Night Entry, Sanctuary

"What's the matter?" Moriarty turned to look at Clausewitz.

"Your Excellency, is there such a possibility, when we send the legion to Windsor Castle and start a decisive battle with the demon hops, but Salk does not send troops to attack together in accordance with the alliance agreement, and sit back and watch our side and the demon consume each other, then Olympus will fall into great passivity, and may even be completely wiped out." The old werewolf looked at Moriarty and said word by word.

"Well, you are sure that there is a possibility." Moriarty was stunned for a moment, then nodded appreciatively.

The so-called first think about defeat, and then think about victory, in order to be invincible. So even though the possibility of such an extreme idea put forward by the staff manager is very low, Moriarty will not regard it as delusional, but appreciate it. Especially on the chessboard of Kent County and even the Kingdom of Erathia in front of you, the aristocracy, politics, wars, territories, and various forces are complicated, and anything can happen. Therefore, it is very appropriate for Clausewitz to fill in the gaps like this.

"What about your Jianyì, staff officer?" Moriarty thought for a moment and asked rhetorically.

"The best option is for Salk to send a sufficient amount of protons to us to 'pledge' to ensure that the other party will definitely send troops to attack the demon."

"Hostages?"

The old wolf was out, and Moriarty understood who he was referring to. There is no doubt that the so-called sufficient amount of protons is only qualified by Salk Pearl Martiel.

"I'm afraid it's going to be hard." After a pause, Moriarty shook his head: "First, now Windsor Castle has been tightly sealed by demons, and there is even the Extreme Dao in charge. Unless there is a high-ranking assassin or a thief like Claudia, it is almost impossible for Matil, who is just an ordinary person, to get through; Second, Viscount Salk would never accept such a plan and let his beloved daughter be innocently put in danger. ”

Of course, there is another point that Moriarty did not say, that is, although he is confident enough to keep Matil safe, the key is that now that Haiyuna is in Sosk, he can't just let the two daughters meet directly anyway.

"If 'Proton' can't be achieved, then I'm afraid we will have to plan for the worst-case scenario to ensure that the main force or essence of Olympus can safely withdraw from the battlefield even under extreme conditions. Or we could simply withdraw to Rheinberg. Wait for the Demon Heavy Corps to reveal their actual intentions before responding. The old werewolf thought about it for a moment. Yan sù said.

"The plan to retreat from Rheinberg is too negative, not only to give up the newly reinforced Sosk, but also to give the demons every chance to break through." Moriarty shook his head: "Just to be cautious, you immediately start working on a backup plan. But at the same time. I Olympus rendezvous with the Salk Ministry. The will to actively attack the Demon Legion remains unchanged. Moriarty finally decided.

"Yes. Excellency! Clausewitz straightened up and said in a loud voice.

About half an hour later, Claudia took a handwritten letter from Moriarty and the sword she had with her. Quietly faded into the night.

From Southsk to Windsor Castle, the distance in a straight line is about eighty kilometers. And with the agility and concealment of a level 10 shadow assassin, even if he encountered too many demonic defensive circles on the way, he arrived at his destination before midnight.

However, when the Blood Earl actually came to a distance of only a few kilometers from the Rhineberg, she suddenly slowed down and became extremely cautious. This is already the sphere of influence of the New Demon Heavy Pack, and even if Claudia tries to surround her from the outside, she is still cautious. After all, just not far away, a double-digit demon high-level plus a great demon Extreme Dao was eyeing him, and no matter how confident the Blood Count was, he was not willing to find excitement on such an occasion.

Luckily, the night gave Claudia the best disguise. The Shadow Assassin seemed to have turned into an invisible shadow, floating silently in front of a pile of demonic warriors, and even adjusting himself to the harmony of the surrounding light and shadow as the moonlight fell in the sky.

About half an hour later, Claudia finally arrived at the foot of Windsor.

At the head of the city, the fire is still bright. In order to defend against the possible surprise attack of the increasingly terrifying demon hordes outside the fort, more human warriors had to stay through the night and patrol the city.

Instead of going directly to the city, Claudia patiently walked around the fort to observe the terrain, garrisons, and possible retreats. Sure enough, Windsor Castle was worthy of being a powerful fortress for the human nobility, and even in the eyes of the Blood Earl, he did not see any obvious weaknesses or flaws. Claudia, on the other hand, felt something obscure and deep in the city, but it made her instinctively uneasy and even resisted the breath.

"What the hell is that?" Claudia discerned for a long time, but she didn't have a clue.

It was not good to stay outside for too long, after all, she still needed to cover her at night and then evacuate Windsor Castle safely, so she found a relatively remote corner, silently clinging to the towering city wall, and entered the castle. The soldiers patrolling and guarding the city only felt that the light of the torches in front of them dimmed slightly, and then returned to normal, and only thought that a gust of night wind was blowing.

Quickly descending the wall, Claudia headed straight for the inner castle.

Unlike the well-guarded city defenses, there was silence in Windsor Castle. Occasionally, a few thin children's night cries are heard, which adds a bit of popularity to the tranquility, but it is even more incompatible with the slaughter outside the city. Only the barracks farther away were still bustling with traffic, and it seemed that they had not slept all night.

Moments later, Claudia was in front of the Inner Castle. In order to avoid contact with other unrelated humans, the Blood Earl intends to sneak in and meet the human viscount directly. However, when one of her small hands touched the castle wall of Windsor's inner castle, suddenly, a faint but extremely sharp gun shadow suddenly poked out of the void and stabbed the Earl's left palm.

Claudia, who didn't dare to resist at all, saw some inner essence of the gun's shadow in an instant, and was frightened to death, and hurriedly transported her body to extreme speed and dodged backwards. It's just that, even with the agility of a level 10 Phantom Assassin, even if he uses many powerful professional skills such as "invisibility", "sirarum", "color change", and "phantom body" one after another, he still can't get rid of the blade that seems to be able to pierce space, even a little more distance.

But for a few seconds, it seemed like years of torment for Claudia. Finally, unable to lift her breath back, the Blood Count's movements inevitably fell a beat, and the phantom spear hit the center of her forehead. And in front of the faint shadow of the gun, Claudia couldn't even transform into a bat, and was almost waiting to die.

"I'm Moriarty's pet!"

At the last moment, Claudia could only give up the greatest dignity of the assassin and take the initiative to reveal her appearance, and directly recognized herself as someone's demon pet in a "panic", only hoping that the desperate gun shadow could be eased.

Sure enough, when the Earl of Blood, who sounded so immature and delicate, pierced the silent night with a trembling shout, the virtual spear that was almost about to stab its target dissipated at once. Claudia, whose face was flushed and sweating, still stood in place, looking at the silent night in front of her as if nothing had happened, and her blood core shook wildly.

"When did that kid Morty take in a 'vampire bat' as a magic pet again? Well, he's still a 'count', hehe, it's arrogant enough. ”

Just when Claudia was in shock, a tall man with a gray beard and a scumbag dressed in armor that could not tell the old or new slowly walked out of the shadows next to the inner castle, looking at the stunned Count of Blood, smiling quite playfully, but also withdrawing the killing intent of Fang Cai.

"Templar!?"

Seeing the man, Claudia couldn't help but let out a low cry. The almost unstoppable shadow of the spear just now had made her vaguely guess the terrifying of the other party, and now facing the deity, even if the Blood Count was dull, he immediately recognized that the middle-aged knight in front of him was actually a human pole!

"You said you were Moti's man, what proof do you have?"

The former Knight of the Round Table, Charlie, who finally transformed into a life-and-death battle with the great demon "Camontottliworth", has now reined in all the edges of the past, and only looks ordinary like an ordinary veteran.

"This is his handwritten letter, and it needs to be presented to Viscount Salk, and his sword as a token." Not daring to hesitate, Claudia immediately carefully took out the two things.

"Oh? Looks like something big is coming. What's the latest move on Olympus? He didn't take the letter and the sword, just glanced at it casually, and Charlie asked again.

"We have just captured the town of Sosk, and we are using it as a bridgehead, and we plan to join forces with you to attack the demon legions outside Windsor Castle in the near future." The Blood Earl didn't dare to hide it, and said honestly.

"Ha, don't move slowly! Taking Sosk is equivalent to mastering the transportation hub in the county. It's no wonder that the demons outside the castle have gathered on a large scale in the past two days, and even the big demons have arrived. I thought I was going to storm Windsor Castle, but now it looks like I'm going to go for you. Charlie laughed, not knowing whether he was happy for the recovery of Sosk or excited about the upcoming battle: "Okay, you come with me, Lord Viscount should not have slept yet, and I can meet you immediately." ”

With that, the Templar turned and headed for the gate of the inner fort on the left, and Claudia had to follow carefully. And when they saw a strange little girl follow Charlie into the only small door that opened in the inner fort, the soldiers guarding were all surprised and curious, but they did not say anything. After all, as a senior viscount's guard, many rules are strictly followed.

The lights in the inner fort were half-dim, and some nobles in a hall were still meeting and discussing, as if they were worried about the growing hostility outside the city.

Walking through the corridor, Charlie stopped in front of a study and said to the second-level butler guarding the door: "Please inform the viscount that a messenger from Rheinberg has arrived." ”

"Yes, Lord Charlie!"

The butler hurriedly agreed, and without even asking why the dignified messenger of Rheinberg was only a young toothed girl who looked no more than ten years old, he knocked lightly on the door of the study. (To be continued......)
