Chapter 91: Planned Betrayal
"We've been waiting for a long time, so I'll explain the situation to Captain Fide first. The captain of the squad that had killed Eddie dismounted, and began to tell Fidel about the two days of taking Pool Castle.
After hearing this, the Marcus brothers all showed dissatisfied expressions.
"Didn't you say that our brother would take the first credit for taking this castle?"
"That's right, my brother is in a high mood now, it's really boring that no one is cut twice by him!"
Feld listened to the captain tell him about the situation as he looked at the pool castle in the distance. There were no flags or mercenaries from the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment patrolling the castle walls, not even on the periphery of the Pool Castle, and he found these Alain's men riding Eddie's warhorse—the black-brown horse with a long scimitar seemed to belong to the young Avi who had been seriously wounded in the back of the head.
"Eddie, are they already there?" said Fed, suddenly looking at the team leader.
The expression on the squad leader's face stiffened for a moment, but he immediately replied with a smile: "They have been taken to the regimental commander, and they are now all in the hall to participate in the celebration banquet." ”
"I see," Fidel didn't stop his gaze on the other party's face, "I heard that Andre is injured?"
"Injured?!" The team leader's first reaction was that Fidel knew that Andre had been hit by Alain's poisoned arrow, but he quickly prevaricated, "I don't know about this either." ”
"Oh. "Fidel could already see that the squad leader and Julian were hiding something.
The team leader led Fei De and them to the back gate of the pool castle, and the two-handed swordsmen of more than 800 people lined up and walked into the pool castle.
"You follow me, don't panic if anything happens. Feder whispered to Coth before entering the castle.
Coth didn't know why Fyld said that, but she nodded silently - after leaving Mallot's palace, she only trusted Fright and Greif.
Feder followed the squad leader in the lead, followed by brothers Noor, Koss, and Marcus Matthews. Feder looked around the back of the castle, there were a few houses, but no one was inside, probably a warehouse or a place to store things. But even so, the surroundings were too quiet, as quiet as if there was no one in a pool castle.
"On that side is the inner city, and the lord's hall is in the back. The team leader pointed to a city wall in the distance, which was probably where Andre and the others were.
Fidel nodded, noticing the squad leader's pace suddenly slowing and his limbs tense and stiff.
Suddenly, a whistle sounded, and the squad leader and his subordinates ran to the left and right. However, Feder reacted faster, and he directly grabbed one of the team leader's arms with one hand, and the enchanted chain glove immediately paralyzed the team leader's entire left side of his body, and his whole body was weak.
"Is there really a problem?" Feder pulled the squad leader closer to him, and with his other hand pulled out the long sword at the squad leader's waist, which still had blood stains on it that had not dried up.
A large number of archers instantly appeared on the wall that separated the inner and outer cities of the pool castle, and near the street where the two-handed sword squadron was located, some mercenaries with spears and spearmen-type moon shields also walked out and approached the squadron.
Marcus One-Eyed looked behind them and shouted, "Look, Fed, our retreat has been cut off!"
Koth immediately hid behind Fed, and Noor clenched her hands into fists and posed like a boxer.
At this time, a man walked out of the inner city wall and stood on the five-meter-high city wall.
"Alain" Although Fider's squadron was still nearly fifty meters away from the wall, he could see it clearly. The person standing on it was the Squadron Leader Alan who was originally moody, but Alain, who had his back to the sun, showed a mysterious smile in the shadows.
"Squadron Leader Alain, what is this for!?" Marcus One-Eyed hadn't yet pulled out his golden hammer, after all, a man of action with well-developed limbs and a simple mind would never think of betraying such a thing.
Fei De didn't speak, he just silently picked up the long sword and put it against the squad leader's neck. And the squad leader who felt half paralyzed just now gradually adapted to the magic of this enchantment, and although he recovered from the weakness of his whole body, he did not dare to act rashly.
"Field, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?" said Alan Kudson's smile grew wilder, as if he had heard a joke and couldn't help laughing, "Just get rid of you guys, and everything will be back on track." ”
Fidel noticed that the spear mercenaries were slowly approaching as Alain spoke.
"Let's put it this way, in fact, I just received his order before you," the one Alan said was probably the Archon Manle, "so from another point of view, you and I are real companions, so it is better to let your eight hundred men put down their swords and surrender to me now, so that I will save you from death." Alain put one hand on his forehead, as if he was making a difficult decision.
"So, you've already killed Andre?" asked Fidel calmly and calmly.
"Now, yes. He nodded and graciously acknowledged.
Matthews immediately roared, "You guy has betrayed!" and killed our captain!" His orange hair looked red in the sun, as if there was a raging flame burning on his head. Hearing his younger brother say this, Marcus immediately pulled out the golden war hammer from behind his back and ordered all the two-handed sword mercenaries to draw their weapons and enter the battle state.
"What will happen if we don't surrender?" Fide asked.
"That's more troublesome, think about it, you are two-handed swordsmen without shields," Alain pointed to all the archers near Fidel's squadron, "I remember that you suggested that we ambush the soldiers of the Kosai Kingdom in the heights of Dry Sands, which was a good suggestion. ”
On the roofs of the surrounding buildings were ambushed the archer mercenaries of Alain's squadron, all of whom were equipped with sharp arrows, ready to shoot at a moment's notice.
Feder lowered his head slightly, scanning all the emergency measures in his mind.
"What about Eddie and Bithluves?"
"Since Bithluvis is not on my side, of course there is only one way to die," Alain pulled out his ebony-enchanted longbow "Libra" from behind him, and Fed had never seen the enchantment effect of this bow, "but I am really grateful to him, he put a lot of effort into taking down the Pool Castle and the Oga Castle, I really appreciate it." ”
Unexpectedly, Bisluves, who was most dissatisfied with Andre, was also killed, and it seems that the entire Moon Shield mercenary group is now under the control of Alain.
"As for Eddie?" Alain asked one of his men to come up, and that one of them had a head stuck in his spear - it was Eddie's head.
The head's face was stained with blood, and even its gray-black hair had turned a little red, and the eyes had not been closed, staring firmly ahead.
"Ahh Eddie was already in a different place, and after seeing this scene, Fidel recalled the days when Eddie spent time with him, but in the end, it was like being struck in a needle, and it hurt faintly.
Alain looked up to the sky and sighed, "Hey, it took me a lot of time and effort to bring you all here, if I let you return to the City of Honor alive" He paused here and put an arrow on the almost transparent bowstring, "Forget it, let's die!"
He raised his ebony enchanted bow, aimed at Fidel, and gently let go of his hand and shot the arrow!
The innocent arrow made a small burst in mid-air, splitting into a dozen small spikes and shooting at Fidel. Fei De threw the squad leader in his hand up, and before the squad leader could shout, his whole body "ate" the dozen or so small spikes.
The Squad Leader was dead in mid-air, but his body turned black when it fell to the ground, and the bursting arrows were poisonous!
"Watch out for the archers, disperse at once!" Fed gave the only order, and ran in the direction of Alain Kudsen with his sword, while Koth and Noor followed him, and Koth took out the light crossbow behind her back and fired a crossbow in the direction of Alain.
The bolt passed through Alain's ear, unscathed.
"Try not to kill this little sister, she still has use value," Alain said to a team leader beside him, after all, in his eyes, Kesi is the sister of Greif stationed in Oga Castle, whether it is to recruit Greif or lure him out to kill, it is useful, "You go down and kill Fidel and then catch her." The dozen or so mercenaries beside him immediately set off and walked under the city wall.
Alain said to the remaining mercenaries standing on the city wall: "You should also pay attention to the situation on this side of the lord's hall, although Andre has very few people, you still have to keep an eye on this side. So saying, he went under the wall.
Marcus and Matthews each commanded their own squads and attacked the flanks of the castle, but in the face of a large group of archers who were already in formation, they paid a lot for every step they took forward.
The hundreds of two-handed swordsmen commanded by Fei De saw their squad leader running towards the inner city, and immediately followed, running wildly in the rain of arrows. Now these two-handed sword mercenaries realized how miserable it was to have no shield.
"Hey, what are we going to do now?" asked Keth hurriedly behind Fed. Captain Alain's betrayal and Andre's killing were like a bolt from the blue, leaving her without a master, and now the only person she can rely on is Feid.
Fed rushed to the front, shielding his face with his sword, and the other arrows were blocked by the quagmire enchantment, "Always follow me!" he replied loudly.
