Common enemy, tens of thousands of people in the East Oguna Empire? Selena was overjoyed, since Lord Martin said this, it means that the other party has firmly stood on the side of the Papal States, and I didn't expect that Rashad could really rebel against this lord who was very resolute before.

"Even though they are common enemies, it is impossible to get rid of these tens of thousands of soldiers in the castle," Lord Martin stood motionless outside the cell with his torch, as if he did not want to open the cell and release the crowd, "and you may need to stay here for a while, otherwise the reinforcements from Glyncoe who came to support the castle between the rivers will be angry with you." ”

"In other words, you have to send all the reinforcements of tens of thousands of people out of Riverland Castle before you can put us back?" asked the chief knight immediately.

"I can't say that exactly," Lord Martin raised his head slightly, as if he was disdainful of Selena's question, "and it is up to you that the Deputy Head of your regiment will keep his promise and return peace to us for the people of the Riverlands." ”

With that, Lord Martin said nothing more, and slowly walked out of the cell. No matter how the female knight chief Selena shouted, the Lord Martin did not stop walking in the distance. The church knights around her hurriedly persuaded her not to get too excited, or the sword wound on her thigh would crack open.

After Selena calmed down a little, she said to Fidel in the opposite cell, "Chief Leader, Lord Fidel, what now?"

"Wait. As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen servants entered from outside the cell, each with a large bowl of food—smoked chicken, corned beef, and pieces of mutton, and bread and cheese of all kinds, much more abundant than what had been eaten in Crefeld! One of the maids carried two large jugs of wheat wine into the cell of Frey and Selena, which seemed to have been carefully prepared by Lord Martin for each of them.

Some of the Church Knights wanted to reach out to eat the food before it was put down, but fortunately, the female knight leader Selena stopped it in time, so that these hungry Church Knights stopped their reckless actions. Avi originally thought that the other party was afraid that the food would be poisonous, but he didn't expect that under the leadership of the female knight chief Selena, all the church knights prayed before eating, and they all had words in their mouths, and they could hear words like "Light, Heavenly Father".

"I don't believe in ghosts and gods, and I'm not afraid of poison, so I ate it first. Patrick ignored the praying knights and began to gulp down the pot of chicken in front of him. When Avi saw Patrick's predecessor start to eat, he no longer had too many scruples, picked up a pot of wheat wine, poured a few sips, and quenched his thirst first. His mother, Joni, never let him drink, so even after becoming a mercenary, Avi remembers the rule, but now she's too thirsty. Unexpectedly, these wheat wines are very mellow, and after a few sips, my body began to warm up a little, even in the cold winter cell, it is not very uncomfortable. Avi began to think that alcohol was also a good thing, and I really didn't know why her mother wouldn't let her get drunk.

Fidel ate some as well, but Ayana didn't touch the food, but took a piece of bread from her bosom and chewed it slowly.

The people, who had eaten enough, began to fall asleep. At this time, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and when I looked out of the dark window of the prison, I couldn't see anything clearly, it was all pitch black. Due to the proximity of the riverine castle to the Split Mountains, the whole castle was in the cold, and there was nothing left in the cell except for some grass that was cushioned on the ground. However, everyone who was full and tired still fell asleep one after another, and only Ayana sat alone by the door, looking at the dark window, not knowing what she was thinking.

By the time Fed woke up, it was already noon. The rest of the cell had already woken up, and the food that had been eaten had been replaced with some fruit and water, and it seemed that the new owner of the castle between the rivers had treated their captives quite kindly.

It didn't take long for the prison guards to send a few of the church knights outside, and the knights who returned said that they saw a large number of reinforcements from the East Oguna Empire inside the castle. It's just that the soldiers all looked listless, probably because their commander Juan was killed.

For the next two days, food and drinking water were supplied, and the prisoners were occasionally taken out of the prison to go to the toilet or something. It's just that Lord Martin never came in, and no one said a word to them. Until a male servant brought food again, the female knight chief Selena suddenly grabbed the other party's arm fiercely, and then asked, "What's going on outside!?"

The manservant was startled and trembling at first, but soon the prison guards pulled Selena away. "The soldiers of the East Oguna Empire have been sent back to the east, and I hear that Lord Martin himself led them away, and the Papal States have retreated a city and returned the city of Crafeld to us, as if it were so" One of the guards, for some reason, was very kind to Selena and the other knights of the Church, and told them all what he knew.

"Those tens of thousands are willing to evacuate?" asked a clergyman.

"Of course, their leaders are dead, and if they don't leave, will they eat up the castle with us? Besides, if the siege of the Papal States continues, we may have to drink snow water. ”

At this time, everyone's hanging hearts were calmed down. It seems that Lord Martin has reached a ceasefire agreement with the Papal States, first suspend the siege, and when he sends these tens of thousands of soldiers back to the East Oguna Empire, it can be regarded as a step back for both sides. After all, tens of thousands of soldiers are a huge group, and the continuation of the stalemate between the two sides will not benefit either side at all from the lack of food.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Lord Martin had all the captives brought out. It's just that Avi, who has been living a dark life in prison for several days, has become depressed and irritable, and he has been drinking for the past few days, which has caused his face to be not very good.

"The deputy head of your regiment, Rassad, has complied with some of the agreement, so now you can be sent back to the Papal States," Lord Martin led everyone to the front door of the rivercastle, and from this angle you could clearly see the exit of the "thundering" attack, "Wait a minute, your deputy head of the regiment will come to pick you up"

Everyone else was looking down at the castle between the rivers, expecting Rashad to lead the knights to pick them up. Only Feder looked at the castle between the rivers, and Feder remembered the images in front of him, maybe one day he would attack the castle, and then these memories would come in handy. As for that secret passage, it will definitely be blocked by Martin, right?

Feder looked at the great hole in the wall—a large hole with a radius of at least three meters in the wall of the rivercastle, and the hole seemed to extend diagonally upward. If I am not mistaken, the reason why those huge round rolling stones were able to rush down the hillside is inseparable from the relationship between this huge hole. Perhaps the round rolling stones were rolled down the hole from the height of the tower, and then slammed down the castle.

While Martin was still saying some kind words, the chief knight Kiro had already led dozens of knights of the church and led almost twice as many horses to the bottom of the riverside castle.

"It seems that the deputy head of your regiment has not come, and I want to confirm the future arrangements with him," Lord Martin rolled his eyes, "Forget it, we are destined to meet again." With that, he ordered his guards to stop watching the captives, and set aside all the confiscated weapons for each to take back his weapons.

One of the guards was still holding the golden shield, but after Ayana glared at him, the other party immediately put down the shield and let Avi take it.

"Are you safe and sound?" Captain Knight Kiro took the lead and let the horse stop in front of Selena and Fidel, he looked a little depressed, was it because he didn't want to see Fide and the others return safely?

"It's okay, you know about our secret mission too?"

"Of course, I know that Deputy Commander Rashad asked me to stay on the other side of the castle, and nothing happened. Kiro brought a horse and motioned for Selena, the chief knight, to sit on it.

"Then let's go back! Selena said.

"There's no need to rush back, I don't have time to rest when I go back anyway. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Selena asked, puzzled.

"The archbishop has already tried his best to send reinforcements to the Western Empire, and I heard that in just three days, the Western Ancient Empire has lost dozens of cities and a large territory to the south!"
