Gravel Fort, Clock Tower.

Alan and the big fat man Meng Rui walked out of the portal on the top of the bell tower.

"Boss, why do you feel that the atmosphere in the city is so weird?" Monray pouted his big ass and leaned on the edge of the bell tower to look down.

Alan resisted the urge to kick Monray's big ass, crouched down and began to observe the situation in the entire Gravel Castle.

Today's Gravel Fort is still a military city, but it doesn't have the hustle and bustle it came before.

Mercenaries were rarely seen on the streets, but instead of Sadido's Knights of the Guard.

However, although the knights rode on tall horses and had exceptionally good weapons and armor, they always gave people a feeling of weakness.

And not only are there only a handful of mercenaries, but they are all sitting on the streets with their heads down.

Perhaps the news of Beamon's rout had already spread from the front line, and those mercenaries seemed to be outlaws, but most of them were some people who saw the wind and steered the rudder, and when they saw that the Holy Mountain had freed their hands, they had already fled.

Of course, there are also some mercenaries who have received a deposit, but they stay in the Gravel Fort with great credibility, but the number is only a handful.

The mercenary profession is very special, everything depends on money, as long as the money is enough, let alone attacking the Holy Mountain, even besieging the Flame Dragon City, there are people to do it, even if they know that they will die.

As soon as the money is collected, it is either left to the family and children, or it is squandered for a few days, and then it goes to death with a weapon.

It doesn't matter if you're a veteran or a gangster, once you're in this business, you're basically pinning your head to your belt.

Mercenaries are not quite the same as assassins, they belong to the kind of profession that as long as you are a person, whether you are strong or short, as long as you dare to do it, there are not too many professional requirements.

This profession is also the profession with the lowest threshold and the greatest risk of death.

So with a wave of Blackjack's hand, the mercenaries of several countries came to the Gravel Castle, which seemed to be a large number of people, but in fact it was just a bluff.

As soon as the news of the victory on the front line came back, the mercenaries in the Gravel Fort began to disperse in a hurry, and there were very few left.

However, as a border city and Sadido's country, Blackjack was dispatched to the Gravel Fort by the Knights of the Guards, and he thought that Blackjack was preparing to fight the Holy See to the end.

But Alan knew that Black Jack, a bastard, had a bad stomach, anyway, he used other people's guns to poke other people's horses, and it was not their demon soldiers who fought against the Holy See, and he had nothing to lose by fighting back and forth.

And before this guy took power, he ran the Sadiddo forces for decades, and there are not many people who are willing to work for him.

Meng Rui said with a sad face: "The Knights of the Guards have obviously taken over the City Lord's Mansion, and I don't know what happened to Cousin Mac. ”

"Don't worry, that guy is shrewd, he can live well if he let Beamon capture him in the first place." Alan comforted: "How can I say that he is also a nobleman, at most he is imprisoned." ”

"No, my cousin is an alchemist, if he hadn't been in danger, he would have come to the Bloodhoof Tribe to find us through the portal of the bell tower."

"Yes." Alan frowned and said, "Could it be that he was caught by Blackjack's people?" ”

"Boss, then let's open the teleportation circle now, start a street battle directly in the city, and take back the Gravel Fort and my cousin?"

Alan shook his head and asked, "If Cana shows up, can the fight conflict be avoided?" ”

It's not that he pities these guard knights, but after all, these people are all Terran soldiers, but they were just bewitched by Black Jack, and they fought back and forth, and it was still Cana's people who died.

The more people who died, the more and more dilemmas Jana and Little Prince Scott faced after their return to China.

"It's very unlikely." Meng Rui crawled the dust on his body and stood up and said: "These Knights of the Guards are all descendants of Blackjack, and they are also die-hard members of the Blackjack regime, but the leader of the Knights of the Guards, Holt, although loyal to Blackjack, is rumored to be as timid as a mouse. ”

"Alright then, let's attack the city with great fanfare."

Meng Rui asked in confusion: "Do you want to attack the city?" How good is it to pull the warriors over and fight in the city? ”

"No, attacking the heart is the most important, if you want to fight, you will fight with a knife and a gun, seize the city, and also deter Xiaoxiao!" After Allen finished speaking, he walked through the portal.

Meng Rui sighed, not knowing what the boss had in mind, so he had no choice but to follow.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion.

The Earl of Holt, who was in his fifties, had a sad face.

As a die-hard member of Blackjack, after Blackjack came to power, Holt rose all the way up, from a border city administrator to the head of the Knights of the Guards of the Arch Guard.

Count Holt, who was originally a second-order fighting warrior, did not feel much discomfort from the civil state to the military attaché, because his main character was to lead the guards and knights to capture the rebels of the royalists.

Although he offended people, great wealth also came.

Who knew that the situation took a turn for the worse later, and I don't know what kind of trick Black Jack smoked and actually rebelled against the Holy See.

But he also understands, after all, the Holy See is like a child, one time the major dioceses recognize Blackjack's regime, and the other time they turn their faces and say that Blackjack is a usurper, and the royal family is orthodox.

No one can bear this matter.

Then the war between the two clans completely began, and Blackjack united many affiliated forces of the former Holy See to raise the banner of independence, and wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of the Holy Mountain's defensive force to attack the Holy Mountain in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that all this is a seemingly bad bubble, which bursts at the touch of a button.

The war between the two clans broke out like an inexplicable outbreak at the beginning, and then ended inexplicably.

The prestige of the Holy See was unmatched for a while, and it began to adopt a policy of softness towards all human powers.

As a result, those affiliated forces that used to be attached to Blackjack were really exposed to the herbs on the wall. He sent an envoy to the Holy Mountain, saying that he had been deceived by Sadido for a moment before he declared independence.

Now, except for the Bucks Federation, Sadido is basically equal to enemies on all sides, as long as the archpope has a fatwa, there is no need to wait for the heretics to crusade against the legion, and it is estimated that those "former allies" will turn against each other.

If that were the case, Holt wouldn't be so sad.

After all, the heretic crusade legion is still on the front line, and there are several small countries around it that are not to be feared.

Gravel Fort, it's safe for now.

Unfortunately, to add insult to injury, a few days ago, Blackjack gathered the strength of the whole country to transport all the steel supplies to the Gravel Fort, ready to hit the Holy Mountain in one go.

As a result, Monray, the lord of the Gravel Castle, disappeared, and all the steel was actually made into puppets by the alchemist Hank, and with Monray's whereabouts unknown, the dozens of steel puppets also disappeared.

Without steel and supplies, how can we defend the Gravel Fort?

Holt sighed heavily and said to his entourage, "Go, bring the alchemist Hank." ”

The attendant retreated.

After a few moments, Hank, who was scarred by his shackles, was escorted in by two knights of the guard.

Upon seeing Holt, Hank spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm with disdain on his face.

"Hank, why are you so stubborn as both an alchemist and a respected scholar of my Sadido?" Holt pretended to be serious and said: "You, ah, you are on the wrong side, you tell me the whereabouts of the Iron Puppet, I can tell His Majesty Blackjack and restore your free body and noble title, how about it?" ”

Hank said with disdain: "Even if I say it, do you dare to take it?" ”

Holt said coldly, "You think I'm a three-year-old child? The Son of Chaos, the Bloodhoof Chief in your mouth, who is that, the Great Lord of the Wasteland who led 80,000 barbarians against Beamon! What kind of character is that, how could he run to Hammer Fort alone to grab these steel puppets during the war between the two races, it is a big joke. ”

Before that, Holt had tortured Hank many times, but Hank turned over and over in one sentence, Lao Tzu's iron puppets had been blackmailed by Lord Allen, you should go to him.

No matter how hard the torture is, Hank is the sentence.

Seeing Holt asking about this again, Hank rolled his eyes, Cousin Monray and Lord Allen returned to the Great Wasteland, and before leaving, they ran away with twenty-five steel puppets, so many mercenaries saw it with their own eyes, what can you do if you don't believe it.

Holt drew his sword and walked up to Hank, and said coldly: "Although it is rumored that the Children of Chaos have made trouble in the Gravel Castle, I think this is just a trick by you and Monray, let's say, where are those steel puppets, His Majesty Blackjack values those steel puppets very much." ”

Hank closed his eyes and said lightly: "Your Excellency Allen, he will come back with Princess Cana, he will kill you to avenge me, kill Black Jack to avenge those royalist heroes, don't worry, Your Excellency Allen, he will do what he says!" ”

"Princess Cana? Hehe, who in the world doesn't know that Princess Hathaway, who is known as the pearl of Lotle, has a marriage contract with the son of chaos is a childhood sweetheart, in Sadido, even if Cana is a princess, out of Sadido, who knows her Cana, how can the son of chaos lose a big because of a small loss, if you are a son of chaos, how will you choose? ”

Hank smiled and didn't open his mouth to retort.

He believed in his eyes, and the man he saw seemed arrogant and unreasonable, but he was the kind of hero who stood up to the sky and did what he said, since he said that he would help Jana restore the country, he would definitely do it! Regardless of whether Princess Hathaway is stronger than Princess Cana's background, Hank firmly believes that as long as Alan says it, he will definitely do it.

"Then you die!" Holt was about to slash his sword when a knight in a guard uniform ran in recklessly.

Holt frowned.

The Knight of the Guards fell to his knees and shouted, "My lord, it's not good, outside the city, the Gravel Fort is under siege!" ”

"Siege? Could it be the heretic crusade legion? How many people? Holt was shocked, didn't he say that the heretic crusade legion was still on the front line, how did he come back so quickly.

"No, it's not a legion of the Holy See, only a few hundred!"
