The Dragon's siege engine was covered in a fire-resistant skin, which was able to defend against most of the fire attacks encountered during a siege, but its defenses did not do much against the Fire Elves.

It's not that the flames of the fire elves are special, in fact, their bodies are basically composed of ordinary flames, and they don't have much lethality for the fireproof layer on the exterior of the siege engine, but compared to other flames, the fire elves belong to living creatures with a certain amount of intelligence, they can turn their bodies back into flames, as long as there is a slight gap, they can drill into it!

Obviously, the Earth Walking Dragon siege weapon outside the Pearl Castle was not so perfect, and at the same time, as Alan expected, the panicked deserters didn't care about the guards around the siege weapon at all, and they may not even notice the relatively small number of secret guards, and under the impact of a large number of soldiers, this was just a few dozen secret technology guards were scattered with an angry face.

Countless soldiers in front of them fled in a big way, and the bright yellow flame man kept driving in the rear, and in the rear of the flame man, a soldier with a bucket of water hesitantly surrounded him.

At this time, because of the continuous replenishment, the number of flame people was no less than a hundred, but it was still not enough compared to the army of more than a thousand people, at least five times their manpower carried buckets of water from the city, and under the command of the officers, they surrounded them hesitantly but firmly.

However, when a huge explosion appeared, their encirclement broke down!

Looking at the siege machine that suddenly burst into flames, as well as the raging splashing of ironwood shards, countless soldiers were stunned on the spot and were directly dumbfounded.

"How else is this going to be fought?"

The stars rarely attack cities, so Samuel only has such a siege weapon in storage, and now that the siege engine is gone, it means that they can only rely on a ladder to climb the city wall to attack, but that will inevitably cause heavy casualties!

And under the threat of this kind of flame people, their ladder may not have much effect....

"How else is this going to be fought?"

The soldiers groaned, looking at the flames on the siege engines at the gate of the castle and the blurred faces that gradually appeared from them, all of them looking panicked and desperate.

"Or, let's withdraw!"

Some soldiers remorsefully whispered to their companions: "Now is the time to find a place to hide, and then escape from the city when the matter has calmed down... Hell, how could I listen to Yates's nonsense!"

"Lord Yates is a Blood Knight, and we still have hope!"

"Hopefully, the Blood Knights are not the Apocalypse, they may be able to deal with these Burning Men, but they can't open the castle gates!"

"Why didn't the Blood Knights show up to deal with these Burning Guys!?"

"Change is coming so fast...."

"Hell, if you're here, how can you not react? I haven't seen them yet!"

**

Enemy soldiers talk about their leader, and the same is true in the castle.

"Knight Bell was not dead at the time, but was just unconscious from the impact. Alan frowned and said, "So obviously, we should at least face the last bloodline by now, but..."

"Where's the Bloodline?"

Everyone looked at each other

"Maybe the injury hasn't healed?"

"No!" Catherine shook her head, "The recovery ability of the Samuel bloodline is very good, and now that nearly a day has passed, it is impossible for Bell to be incapacitated." ”

"That's when they go and do something else. Captain Nick muttered, "What could be more important than attacking the castle?"

Catherine frowned and said, "Their purpose can only be the castle, not attacking the city outside, then it can only mean that they have a faster way..."

"Secret Passage!?"

Everyone thought in unison, and then they all set their eyes on a defense officer.

"David, are the entrances to the secret passages blocked?" asked Catherine.

"It's been blocked, and it's made of Yangang Stone, unless the Apocalypse personally takes action, it's impossible to break it again. Defense Officer David replied firmly.

There are three defense officers in Pearl Castle, and he is one of them who is responsible for managing the secret passage, so seeing that everyone doubts his own work, he naturally tries his best to maintain it.

However, Catherine did not have as much confidence as him, and she said in a quiet voice, "Go and confirm again!"

"Okay!" In front of his housewife, David did not have the slightest objection, bowed and hurried away.

"In the direction of the city walls, we..."

The Duchess usually has a proud and reserved personality, and usually rarely gives orders, but now she looks like she is resolute, and in view of the current situation, she keeps giving orders one after another, decisively and unpolishedly, which impresses Allen.

In response, Margaret whispered to Allen, "Mother was born in the snow. ”

"Snow?" Alan was stunned when he heard this, "So far away?"

"It's not that far, it's about two months away. Margaret's eyes narrowed, as if she were reminiscing.

"Have you been?" asked Allen.

"I went once when I was a kid and never went again. Margaret said, sighing, "I really want to go again, it's really beautiful there." ”

"It was said to be very cold, and there were many rules. ”

"Okay, the people are very welcoming. It's really cold though...."

The two muttered, causing Catherine to look at them frequently, but she didn't interrupt them, although it was a bit out of place now, but after all, the two were already married, and their intimate behavior would not be offensive.

"It's good to be young. She sighed, and then saw David hurrying back, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

"There was no surprise. David said, "The plug does not move." ”

Catherine frowned, not afraid that the enemy would find a loophole and attack, but she was afraid that she would not be able to understand the enemy's means of attack.

If it was really the secret passage exposed, it would be nothing, because it was all on the bright side, but now, this kind of unclear situation is something that no one wants to see.

"Leave it outside to attack the city, and disappear without a trace...."

"They could only attack the castle for that thing, but if they don't attack the castle, they can't get it, right..."

Catherine's face was suspicious, and she kept rubbing her eyebrows with her fingers, considering all possibilities.

In the end, she hesitated to say: "Go.... Take a look at the wine cellar. ”

"Wine cellar?" David wondered, but didn't object, nodded and left again.

Then it didn't take long for him to run back with a panicked face: "Madam, it's not good, there are traces of someone breaking into the cellar!"

"What!?" Despite some speculation, Catherine was still shocked that this kind of thing had happened: "When did they come in!?"

"We don't have any loopholes other than secret passages!"

"But the secret passage has been blocked!"

"Could it be a secret passage that we don't know?"

"Impossible, if there really is such a secret passage, how can Madame not know?"

The others were in an uproar, and they were talking about it, but their weapons were unknowingly drawn. 、

The enemy had quietly infiltrated the castle without their prior knowledge, and this passive situation made many people extremely uneasy.

"What do we do now?" Captain Nick looked at Catherine, only to see that her face was ugly.

"Ma'am, are you alright?"

Catherine shook her head, and instead of answering, she gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go to the cellar now!"
