31 A lamp
"Oh my God, Bob was shot and wounded, who's going to save him!"
"Damn, I saw Colin, what madness is he doing!?"
"Go to the basement and transport the Black God Oil!"
**
The castle trembled as the huge siege equipment bombarded, but the servants inside were not too worried about it, and were still busy, doing what they had to do.
"The gate of this castle is made of mille-feuille steel from the city of Nadek, and with this kind of thing, it will not be able to break it for a while. ”
The words of a soldier represent the voices of everyone in the castle, and Samuel's Pearl Castle is not a simple flowery shelf, in this kind of martial country, a simple fancy shelf will be despised.
Alan kept a wait-and-see view of this, because he didn't know much about Pearl Castle, and he felt that the enemies who were currently attacking the castle must know more than him, so did they not think of this?
"Let's hope there aren't any surprises. ”
Feeling the slight tremor and deafening loud noise, Alan sighed slightly.
He felt as if he was very unlucky, every time he could come across an accident, go to the reef and encounter the orc siege, go to Samuel and encounter the orcs to lay a trap, return to the bay and be unfortunately betrayed, and unlucky to fall into the big pit, and now come to Samuel again, there is a rebellion?
It's unbelievable, the stars are not like other countries, the power struggle is fierce, because of the constant external threats, the knights of the stars are relatively united, there are few rebellions, and the whole country is basically the kind that has not been encountered for many years.
However, he was met by him now.
Shaking his head and feeling the magic of revival in his mind, Alan felt some psychological comfort.
At this time, from the window, it was already very dark outside, which meant that he had been meditating for most of the day.
"Thankfully, that activation card helped me regain a mana, otherwise it would have taken much longer. ”
Thinking of the card he had used before, Alan was quite speechless, and activated along the pattern, why such a strange setting?
If he hadn't stumbled upon it, he really didn't know how this situation would end today.
Rising from his chair and putting away his messy thoughts, Alan strode out of the room with another thud.
The castle was busy at this time, and the sudden war took place outside the castle gate less than a hundred meters away from them, and no one would ignore its existence, and the servants were in a hurry, constantly transporting goods for the soldiers defending the castle, and acting as logistics personnel.
"Lord Allen, you're awake!"
A servant saw Alan walk out of the door and said hello.
Alan nodded, then looked at the bottles and cans he was holding in his hand, and couldn't help but wonder.
"What is this for?"
"The castle's crossbow bolts have not been repaired for a long time, and in some places they are badly worn, and they need to be used with these oils. ”
The servant replied, leaving Alan speechless. If you can't use it, you can't use it, shouldn't this life-saving thing be maintained diligently?
What the hell is disrepair?
"What about ma'am?" he asked, changing the subject.
"Madame is discussing the battle plan with several adults Nick, and she is currently in the hall on the first floor!"
"Battle plan...."After nodding in thanks, Alan groaned.
Previously, the group entered the surrounded Pearl Castle directly from the secret passage in the city, which also avoided the fate of their charge.
Then, because of the magic, Alan returned to the room to meditate, and the others immediately understood the situation, so he didn't know about the current state of the castle.
But obviously, if you have the leisure to make a battle plan, then the situation should not be too bad.
Thinking about it, he walked down the stairs to the castle.
He wanted to listen to Catherine and the others' plans, although he was someone other than Samuel, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him participating in this kind of thing, first, this matter was extended from his duel with others, and second, as a person in the castle, he would lose everything, and if the castle was broken, he would not feel good.
"It's all coming to the door, I don't think we still need to care about their casualties or not, the betrayers must be punished as they deserve!"
Before he could get closer, he heard Catherine's stiff voice, as if she had made a decision, which made him quicken his steps
"But many of the soldiers are relatives or friends in the castle, and if you insist on being ruthless, wouldn't you..."
Several other voices kept talking, and Allen's arrival drew a lot of attention, but they only glanced at it, and then went back to whispering
At the moment of foreign enemies, no one is in the mood to pay attention to other things, in the past, they could still patiently salute and greet Allen, who is a nobleman, but now, they only think about the war outside.
"You're here. Margaret, leaning against the staircase, said hello to Alan.
Alan nodded, then asked, "How's it going on outside?"
Margaret thought for a moment and said, "It's not too bad, but it's not very ideal. ”
"How?"
"The Pearl Castle is very well supplied, and if only those people outside attack, it will be impossible for them to breach the gate in a week, and my father has written to me before that he has begun to return to Samuel, and at his speed, it will only be about four or five days to return. Margaret said this, frowning, "But our enemies can't have only so many. ”
"Definitely. Thinking of this inexplicable turmoil, Alan pondered: "Are you sure who started the rebellion?"
He didn't think that the reason for all this was the duel between himself and Jude, although it did start because of the duel, but it was just a façade, Alan didn't believe it, and others wouldn't believe it like a fool.
So Alan will not be ostracized because of this, but many people sympathize with him because he has been implicated in this matter.
"Mother, they didn't talk about it, but I suspect—" Margaret hesitated, but said what was in her heart, "I suspect that some of my uncle did it." ”
"Why?"
"In Samuel, the only ones who can command so many soldiers are my uncles, and as members of the Samuel family, it is impossible for them to remain indifferent when the castle is in danger, and now there is no one to relieve the siege...."
"Doesn't that mean that all your uncles are involved?"
"Not necessarily, it may be pinned. Margaret analyzed rationally.
When the two talked, the others had already begun to act, some went to the castle walls, others went to the logistics area, and the division of labor was clear.
In fact, in this situation, in addition to passive defense, there can be no other situation, after all, the enemy's purpose outside the castle is not clear, and the strength is not clear, before understanding this, the people in the castle will not give up the castle's strong defense and not use it, and run outside.
But they are not currently without anything to do other than defend.
Just like when Alan and his party entered the castle along the secret passage before, the secret passage leading from the city to the Pearl Castle can ignore the castle's defenses and then sneak into the castle, so this loophole must be filled.
In fact, they've been doing that before, but apparently now they're facing some material challenges.
There is not just one secret passage, and the required blockade is not easy to find in today's state of chasing and dying.
Alan didn't think he could help with that, so he didn't make up for it.
At the same time, the battle on the castle walls does not require him to participate in it, and he does not have a group attack spell, in that case, the effect that can be caused by going up is no different from that of an ordinary soldier.
He had a better note.
Seeing him touching his chin and staring at the pillar of the hall not far away, Margaret asked strangely, "The carved ornament of the wood elves, are you very interested in this?"
Alan replied, "No, I'm looking at the lamp." ”
