Lei Ming still didn't know that the Dante province in the western part of the empire had been conquered by the Minotaur tribe, let alone that His Majesty Xin Lian had spread the news of their victory in order to boost the hearts of the people.

At this time, countless people up and down the empire were eager for him to appear and kill all the minotaurs they feared.

He walked out of the castle with no expression on his face.

However, at the sight of the thunder, all the private soldiers of the Habsburgs were shocked.

Now that the thunder has appeared, the matter in this strange castle should have been resolved, for this strange power, the private soldiers are also full of fear in their hearts, they actually don't want to destroy the castle with catapults, they are worried about the curse of contaminating the castle.

The eldest son of the Duke of Habsburg, Werther, had already driven forward, and the Duke of Habsburg was following behind Thundering, and as soon as he appeared, the family's private soldiers burst into cheers.

Even the patriarch of the family has come out, which means that the problem of the castle must have been solved, which is something to be happy about.

The Duke of Habsburg gave several orders to his family's private soldiers, and then returned to Thundering, who led the stone horse and paced with the Duke of Habsburg to the edge of the river that flowed through the castle.

"The two dukes are really amazing, it has only been a few hours, and the problems in the castle have been solved, and now they are talking together and discussing national affairs, this is the life of the great nobles!"

A private soldier shook his head with envy, his face full of yearning.

"How do you know that you are discussing a matter of state? ”

The private soldiers on the side also joined in the fun, they had no pressure now, even the officers were talking together, all of them were very relaxed, just waiting for the camp to cook at night, and then continue to talk about the mountains, and sleep when they were tired, this kind of life is already the best enjoyment for private soldiers.

"Ha, you didn't pay attention to this, did you? Didn't you notice that the Duke of Bourbon and the patriarch all had solemn and serious faces? The temperature is also good, and the harvest is definitely good. ”

chatting casually, there is already a bit of joy in the back, and everyone knows it. This year's winter wheat is very good, not only is there no pests, but the soil is fertile and full of grains.

"That's right, I don't know if there is any big thing that can make the two dukes pay attention. I heard that the situation in the west of the empire is not very good, and it seems that there are also minotaurs attacking, but I don't know what the situation is. ”

"Who knows, we can't manage that much, it's good to be able to kill all the invading minotaurs, but it's a pity that these minotaurs don't need to be killed, if I can kill two more I can get a medal of valor. "There are private soldiers with joy and regret.

"Haha, as far as you can blow, you killed a minotaur in total, which is a nice thing to say. Kill two more and you'll get the LinkedIn Medal of Valor, and people who don't know think you killed a dozen minotaurs. Some private soldiers laughed and scolded.

......

The river is clear, the bottom of the river is covered with a layer of emerald green aquatic plants, and there are no big fish, thunder across the river, a small black dot in the field of vision.

"Go over and see. Lei Ming stood with his hands behind his back for a moment and proposed.

"Well, there are people guarding that castle too, and we haven't heard anything unusual yet, so let's go and take a look. ”

Soon. The private soldiers of the Habsburgs laid down the planks and set up on the river, which was not wide, and Thunder and the Habsburg dukes were the first to pass, and the stone horses stepped on the planks. With a "creaking" sound, they crossed the river and rode their horses together, with only a dozen horsemen following them.

The small black dots in Thunder's vision quickly zoomed in, and they could see it from standing on the ground, indicating that the castle was not far away.

Ten minutes later. The castle was already very clear to the eyes of the thunder, it was a yellow-brown castle, mottled with stones, and it looked far worse than the ancient castle.

The thunder slowed down, and the cavalry had already picked up their speed to inform the castle to prepare it for it.

Lei Ming also got some information from the Habsburg duke, this tawny castle is too dilapidated, and it looks like the city wall is about to collapse at any time, so it can't be inhabited, so the family sent a few old people who are not valued to manage it here, which is an unimportant stronghold of the Habsburg family.

It is very ordinary, ordinary to the point that there are seventy or eighty similar castles in the entire province, and because of the remoteness here, even the people are rare, and a few acres of farmland have been cultivated around the castle, and the winter wheat planted is still depressed, and there is not much vitality.

It's remote, the soil is poor, and it's no wonder that there are fewer people, and the fewer people there are, the more remote they become, which is an endless cycle.

Ahead, the cavalryman who had gone to deliver the message waved at them, indicating that communication had been completed.

The Duke of Habsburg quickened his pace, and the thunder followed, following their cavalry one by one with a lack of interest.

"My lord, I'm Frank. An old man with his head in a black cloth greeted him from the ruined castle, greeted the Duke of Habsburg warmly, and then, turning back to the two young men dressed as servants, he said, "Hello to the Duke of Bourbon!"

"Hello Duke of Bourbon!" Frank and the two young servants bowed to Thunder at the same time, and the etiquette was very full.

"Hmm. The Duke of Habsburg nodded indifferently, this Frank was just an insignificant little person in the family, but he had served the family for a long time, so he was qualified to take charge of such a useless castle, and he also had three or five servants and miscellaneous servants.

Thunder followed quietly, and he felt that this Frank was avoiding his gaze, consciously or unconsciously, and he walked briskly, side by side with the Duke of Habsburg, and then imperceptibly exchanged a glance with the Duke of Habsburg.

Thunder instinctively felt abnormal, this old man named Frank gave him a very bad feeling, he felt that this Frank had a strange aura on his body.

As he walked under the walls, he suddenly turned around and stabbed the bloody spear at Frank, who was following him.

This sudden change stunned all the people around, only the Duke of Habsburg got a thunderous look in advance, so he was a little mentally prepared, and the others didn't understand why it was so good, the Duke of Bourbon suddenly made a move, and it seemed that he was going to kill Old Man Frank directly.

The Duke of Habsburg also had two large axes in his hands at the moment when the thunder turned around.

"How did you find out?" The old man Frank, who had a black face, suddenly had a blurred and distorted face, as if he was covered with blood, and a good face turned into a red copper bull's head in an instant.

"Ahh

Although the weather was much darker at this time, it was still daytime, and Frank's head suddenly turned into a red bronze bull's head, which was very scary, and Rao was almost stabbed with a shot when he thundered.

I don't know when, Frank has been replaced by the red copper bull head, and the people around him don't know anything...... (To be continued.) )
