Chapter 76: Blockade

"Rod, I warn you, if you don't find the vampire nest you are talking about, then your actions are slander, false accusations, and kidnapping!"

James, who was placed under house arrest by Rhodes, yelled. However, Rhodes ignored his threats and intimidation. Everything that needs to be done is done, and then we wait for the truth to be revealed. Rhodes knew the character of the Ice Queen, Caterina, a cruel female tsar who would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let one go.

Therefore, even if you search for vampires yourself to no avail, you will not be punished by the queen. On the contrary, it has already been attacked, and it will only be the wrath of the queen before it is thoroughly investigated. As for this small local lord, Rhodes knew that with the queen's previous ruling style, she would not care about the life of this little lord. It's a big deal to re-divide this castle to someone else. Some people who are loyal to her......

"I kidnapped you, what's wrong? Let the vampires make trouble in the city, but you don't move, your actions have violated the laws of this country. Rod replied coldly, "Besides, I forgot to tell you something, the army from Kislev is already on its way here, and if you don't cooperate then, they won't be as gentle as I am to you." ”

Rod's threat did work, and Lord James stopped talking. Ten minutes later, the guards reported their findings......

"Cellar, there's movement in the cellar!"

The captain of the guard said in a sweat. Obviously, not everyone in the castle is aware of the existence of vampires...... But it was not ruled out that it was a trap, and in order to avoid danger, Rod dragged James to the cellar with him.

"It's too late to say it, are there any vampires in there? You know, what we found out on our own and what you said on your own initiative are two different things. I'm going to give in, and you're going to live. Say, what the hell is in here?"

Rhodes threatened. However, Lord James remained unmoved, and if it weren't for the fact that he was surrounded by Rhodes' men, he would have ordered the soldiers to drive the gang out. Obstructing the Queen's emissary investigation?Once a person died, he could have made up a lie that Rhodes and his gang had died outside the castle...... Moreover, it can also be said that Rhodes did not inform him at all. In short, as long as a person dies, everything can be rounded up with a lie. But Rhodes took a step ahead and kept Talinnham and Yeskovich on the side of Lord James.

"There's nothing in here, it's my private wine cellar. If you don't believe me, go down and see for yourselves. ”

James said coldly. However, the sly smile on the corner of his mouth was keenly captured by Rod again. Thinking of the undead monsters he had encountered in the nezumi crypt before, Rhodes couldn't help but worry again. If there is too much vampire power hidden underneath, then it is undoubtedly a death to go down so recklessly.

"Let the guards go down and have a look. ”

Rod said aloud.

However, James remained unmoved.

"It's an order! You want to disobey the Ice Queen's orders?"

Rod threatened again.

Open ......

James reluctantly ordered his soldiers to open the cellar door. However, just as the guards were about to open the gate and go in to search, new news came from outside the castle - Kislev's reinforcements had arrived outside the city. Pirno brought reinforcements from the capital several days ahead of schedule. This came as a surprise to Rod. Everything didn't go well before, but now it seems that it's going well. If Pirno's reinforcements had been a few days earlier, the vampire blood slaves would not have recklessly attacked him, and then he would have no reason to blackmail James into searching the entire castle. 118

"Let them in. ”

......

When Kislev's regular army made their way through the narrow alleys of the town of Cipher Castle to the bottom of the castle, the inhabitants of the city poked their heads out and stopped to watch. In a small place like the Cipher Word Castle, it is rare to see such a well-equipped regular army. The Knight of the Kingdom Pirno brought not an ordinary official army, but a "gorgeous lineup" consisting of fifteen Krem guards and thirty-five Powel warriors. It is enough to see how seriously the queen attaches this matter.

You know, the Krem Guard is not an ordinary soldier, they are scarce in number, rarely leave the palace, they are an important force to protect the Tsar, and they are the most elite warriors in Kislev. The Powel warriors, on the other hand, were the noble class belonging to the kingdom and often played the role of basic officers in the legions. Therefore, despite the small number of people, only fifty people, it is a very powerful force.

"Is there progress in the investigation?"

As soon as Pirno entered, he strode over to Rhodes and asked.

Seeing that the reinforcements from the capital were coming, Lord James could be described as sad. All the secrets, the secrets he didn't want to admit, I'm afraid he couldn't hide them anymore.

"It's not just progress, it's big progress. Underneath this castle, there is probably what we are looking for. ”

Standing in the hall of the Crypt Whisper, Rhodes said with a serious expression. For a moment, it was as if he and the knight of the kingdom from Kislev were the owners of the castle, while the original owner, James Wallen, stood aside and was temporarily detained like a suspect.

"Let's get started. Seal off the gates and sewers. From now on, no one is allowed to go out!"

After converging with Pirno's reinforcements, Rhodes gave his own orders. Now, the people in the castle will listen if they don't listen...... James' resentful eyes could be seen. But now that Rhodes didn't care about him, several Krem guards stood in full gear at the entrance to the cellar gate, ready to carry out Rhodes' orders. Because now Rod's order represents the Queen's order. The taste of power, like power, allows you to do whatever you want...... Rod sighed.

"Turn it on. ”

Rod commanded loudly.

The moment the cellar door was opened, a musty smell hit my face. This smell surprised everyone, and everyone unconsciously covered their mouths and noses with their hands to prevent the unpleasant smell from entering their noses.

Soon, two Krem guards armed with double-edged axes urged a group of castle guards to venture in...... This is indeed an expedition, I am afraid that except for a few people who know about this place, the others know nothing about it, Rhodes deliberately turned his head to look at Lord James, and saw that the middle-aged man was looking at the person who entered with a strange gaze.

"Lord James, let's come along. ”

Rod called. I saw the castle lord's wife holding his hand with a worried look, however, after a moment, James still broke her away. They followed the guards from the capital into the dark cellar.
