Chapter 16: Wine is a poison that pierces the intestines, and the color is a steel knife that scrapes bones...... Believe me
On the way back to Djerbo Castle, it was early in the morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Centered around Al Buck Castle, Vigian light infantry patrolled with hired crossbowmen and even a few peasants carrying pitchforks.
The foggy weather was a bit cold and cold, but the old butler of the castle still chose to patrol the city walls with his son.
The master took almost all the combat power of the castle to take revenge, and as a steward, he knew the danger but could not advise, because the man who died was the only son of the master.
The Norde nobleman Albuk I, who has a long tradition, is now about to be cut off, and can only pass from distant side branches in the future...... Thinking of this, the old butler who had served the Elbuck family all his life also felt sad.
Soon, he stopped feeling sad.
An arrow shot out of the dense fog struck the old butler with an astonishing force, knocking the old man in armor upside down and falling from the city wall.
Even if the arrow just now was not enough to kill him, falling from the nearly five-story city wall would definitely be enough for the old butler to die.
The butler's son glanced horrified at his father, who was apparently dead under the walls of the city, and then he turned back to look at his father-killer.
In the thick fog below the castle, a dozen Vigian cavalry spread out and surrounded the castle, led by the powerful viscount who was known for his murder in both Nord and Vegea: William Custer!
This man holds a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, although he is still steady and ruthless on a horse, and there is no nobleman who can be killed by virtue of his combat power from the civilian class, and Viscount William is the best among them.
"Tell that old dog Albuck that I, William Custer, have come to take his life. ”
Seven arrows were fired in a row, and the arrows were almost missed, and they were killed.
Then Viscount William was forced to retreat by the rain of arrows on the castle, and he led his cavalry to hover under the castle like a bloodthirsty wolf pack and roared, showing a ferocious momentum like a burning flame.
"Viscount William, Count Elbuck has led his team to attack your lair in Djerborburg, and he is not in the castle. The old butler's son shrank behind the walls and shouted, he did not have the loyalty of his father, and he lacked enough bravery, and in the face of the wolf-like cavalry led by Viscount William, and looking at the murderous fellows who kicked and played the heads of the patrolling scouts, he only wanted to get them away quickly.
"Big ...... My lord, Viscount William has called, shall we order a cigarette??" A low-ranking warrior approached the old butler's son and asked, the old butler died, and the entire castle was suddenly left with the old man's only son as the backbone.
The smoke in the castle is divided into: black, blue, and red, black is the enemy attack, blue is the attack is fierce, red is please quickly return to help, we are about to break the city.
The three colors represent three different message commands.
The warrior's question made the old butler's son hesitate, but an arrow slammed into the warrior's head before his eyes...... Blood splattered his face.
"Light the red smoke, light the red smoke, you idiots!!"
A terrible howl sounded from the top of the city, but in a few moments, the blood-red smoke rose from the castle, and seeing this scene, Viscount William pulled his horse and walked away, and a group of more than ten horses disappeared from the sight of everyone in the city. They didn't plan to really attack the city.
"If we knew that the principal of Fort Elbuk was like this, we should have brought more people over and captured this castle in one fell swoop. An extremely strong knight with an axe came to Viscount William's side on horseback and said so.
His name was Odo, and he was the lieutenant of Viscount William's cavalry, and he was strong and bloodthirsty.
At this time, Viscount William was shot into his left shoulder, and it did not penetrate deeply, and it had already been pulled out by Viscount at this time, and he treated and wrapped the wound himself.
Even with Viscount William's amazing bravery, it is impossible to suppress the archers of a castle with one horse and a bow, this is still the elite in Elbuck Castle has been exhausted, otherwise more than ten horses rushed to the city, and being shot into hedgehogs by Nord archers is the only ending.
Although Nord is not known for his bow and arrow skills, he is not a pure parallel commodity after all.
With the condescending geographical advantage, even a shooter who was much weaker than Viscount William could pose a huge threat, especially after the number was stacked to a certain point.
"What are we going to do with this castle, we have to disperse our people to manage the suppression...... As long as Elbuck's old dog sees the smoke and rushes back, he will be ambushed and surrounded by our main force.
In the valley terrain, the infantry and archers occupy the favorable terrain, plus you and I lead the cavalry charge, and two hundred Nords who are running back and forth and their morale is declining, how many do you say we can capture?" Viscount William asked his deputy with a sneer, and the man's eyes burned with crazy fighting intent.
“...... But, Viscount. What if old Elbuk didn't choose to come back and chose to continue attacking Fort Djerbor? Although they were infantry, they would not have gone too far from Fort Djerbo earlier, and our castle was also full of elites. ”
"Odo, old Elbuk didn't have the willpower to make such a decision, the death of his only son did carry him away, but in his heart he still cared more about Elbuck Castle, which was the foundation of his family's inheritance, he couldn't give birth to it himself, and inherited the family like a son from the side.
What's more, he is an inherited veteran nobleman who doesn't have much military merit, he can't suppress the army like you and me, the relatives, wives and children of those Nord soldiers are in the castle, and the floating military spirit after seeing the emergency message is difficult to suppress...... Even if old Elbuck's willpower and dominance exceeded my expectations, I had already secretly instructed John that if old Elbuk chose to besiege Fort Jerbor, he would bring you and my son out of the dark passage before the city was broken, and you and I had enough prestige to turn the anger of our subordinates into a sword of killing. Viscount William said slowly, and his watertight plan made his deputy Odo completely convinced.
In the Viscount's opinion, it doesn't matter whether one city or one fort is gained or lost in this war, as long as there are enough soldiers and horses in hand to destroy the other party before the morale of the other side completely collapses, it is enough.
At the same time, Rhodes and his party had also entered the castle, and the living area in the castle was slightly stronger than that of Mazen Village, although the gray and dirty streets and dirty passers-by, but at least compared to the thinness of the people in Mazen Village, the pedestrians in the castle were more vibrant.
Zhu Peng, who was pulling the curtain in the ox cart, even saw a tavern in the castle, which was a place that Rhodes was not willing to go to in the past, compared to the high-end tavern in the big city of Riwache, the tavern in the castle of Jerbor, it was too dilapidated in all aspects.
Entering the inner fort, the chief maid led everyone in the castle to welcome the return of the young master and the housekeeper, the men stood in the left-hand direction, and the women stood in the right-hand direction, saluting the young man who stepped off the ox cart in unison.
Zhu Peng stepped out of the ox cart and glanced at all the people who gave gifts.
Most of the adults are deferential, and their faces are covered with an identical layer of fleshy masks, compared to which young children are unable to hide their emotions so perfectly.
Although Zhu Peng's personal attributes are poor, his highest spiritual power is twelve...... It is said that people with weak bodies generally have relatively high mental power, but people with strong bodies will have relatively low mental power when they are oppressed by strong qi and blood.
Of course, it is not uncommon for people with high qi, blood and spiritual power to be gifted among the heavens in front of you.
The men on the left, especially those young soldiers, had a faint disdain and disdain for their young masters.
This is a kind of contempt for the weak, but in the face of the powerful coercion of the feudal aristocracy, they have to choose patience, once they no longer need to endure, I believe that these long-suppressed negative emotions will erupt like a volcanic eruption.
Among the girls on the right, most of the young girls secretly looked at Rhodes with admiring eyes, especially a few of them who were relatively beautiful, and their eyes at their young masters were even more fierce and greedy.
This gaze saw that Zhu Peng was almost a spirit, this body was originally a little congenitally deficient, and he was overly addicted to wine when he was a teenager, otherwise in addition to his spiritual power, all attributes would not be weaker than ordinary people. Consolidating the foundation and locking the yang, and warming the body is the first thing Zhu Peng should do at this time.
Wudang Pure Yang Sect has a set of "100 days to build the foundation" secret method, which is for those disciples who have broken their bodies and seek Taoism halfway, after 100 days of Yang storage, their physical fitness will be improved to a certain extent, supplemented by the martial arts realm and spiritual will of Zhu Pengdan Dao Fairyland, with some drugs to make this body three or five times stronger.
The premise is that in this process, you must not get close to the wine and wealth, otherwise the body may completely collapse under the backlash.
However, where can these teenage girls in the castle understand Zhu Peng's good intentions of accumulating Yuanyang.
In the eyes of these girls, who spend their days in contact with the strong and smelly men of the castle, the fair skin, delicate and handsome face, and even the slender figure of Master Rod Custer are all beautiful conditions for them to like, especially since the other party is the Viscount's favorite son, and being able to have an intimate relationship with him is a beautiful enjoyment that can produce rich rewards, both for the future and for the present.
Zhu Peng didn't care about the wolf-like implied gaze of the young army, he was confident that he could tame it with a little time.
However, for the greedy eyes of the lioness of the girls, Zhu Peng suddenly recalled the tragedy in the endless abyss when he almost broke his work...... Cherish life and stay away from women!
...... The feast of greeting, sumptuous but not luxurious, passed overnight......
Jerbo Fort is not big, but it has a lot of everything.
There are first-class blacksmith shops, first-class markets, first-class taverns, second-class prisons, and second-class barracks.
Although from Zhu Peng's "Source Wisdom" perspective, the level of these buildings is not very high, and it is obvious that the war horses and high-quality weapons and armor are still in a state where they need to be imported, but if they can successfully build the Elbuc Castle, which has been operated for generations, these disadvantages will be improved.
If you lose...... Although he had not been in contact with Viscount William for a long time, Zhu Peng was deeply impressed by the momentum of the other party's blood and fire.
If there were not enough chances of winning, such a man would have run away with his son and wealth a long time ago, and it would never be possible to hit a stone with an egg.
Since he decided to fight, it shows that he is quite sure in his heart, and he only depends on what kind of loss he will take.
After last night's greetings, it was already a night of time. Judging from the time calculation, the decisive battle between Viscount William and Earl Buck should have been divided into life and death.
Zhu Peng stood at the window of his room, he inhaled the slightly cold air, and looked at the red sunrise rising in the distance.
In the wizard's plane, the original sun was swallowed up by the endless abyss, and in its place was the large ball of light produced by the seal of the Demon Dragon King, which seemed to be almost the same, but it was not kind.
"A new day...... A New Beginning...... I'm going to try to get stronger!"
