In the courtyard of the town hall of Black Iron Town, the lights are bright. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At a time when the snow is about to melt and things are about to recover, Badge and many of the stewards will be busy until late at night.

Standing at the gatekeeper on crutches, Kreuzer watched all the movements around him vigilantly, faithfully performing the duties of a sentry.

In addition to the mining team, almost all of the guards in Black Iron Town were transferred to Black Sheep City, and only more than a hundred people were responsible for the daily security of Black Iron Town.

Ignoring Badge's dissuasion, Kreuzer insisted on canceling his vacation and going on sick duty.

Badge was also helpless about his stubbornness, after all, he did not have the right to give orders to Kreuzer. And those who were able to overpower Kreuzer in military rank followed Renault to Black Sheep City.

At this moment, an old man came tremblingly from the compound, everyone knew this old man, he was Lord Renault's old butler Henry, and the most famous doctor in the hospital of Black Iron Town.

So in every way, the people of Black Iron Town have a lot of respect for him.

Seeing that he was wearing a thick coat, a cane, and holding the naughtiest iron rooster in the compound in his arms, as if he was about to go out, Kreuzer immediately took the initiative to greet him, and secretly wondered in his heart.

It's so late, he actually wants to go out, isn't he suddenly confused?

Old Henry didn't seem to hear Kreuzer's greeting, and after a few steps he stopped, and asked intermittently, "Your name is ...... Kreuzer ...... Right?"

"Yes, Lord Henry. ”

"Something...... Need your help. ”

Kreuzer was stunned in his heart, what could an old man do in the middle of the night?

However, out of respect for him, Kreuzer still respectfully asked, "What is it?" ”

"Well," said old Henry, motionless, as if conserving his strength, contemplating what to say next, "you bring some people...... Let's go ...... Treasure hunting.

Sure enough, he was too old and his mind was a little unconscious, Kreuzer thought with a wry smile.

"You go...... Not going?"

"This ......," Kreuzer muttered, "go, then you wait for me to call someone." ”

"Twenty ...... That's enough...... I'm at the gates...... Waiting for you. ”

After saying that, old Henry walked away tremblingly, leaving Kreuzer with a helpless face.

He thought for a moment, if he left it alone, it wouldn't be good if he broke it outside. So he went to Badge and told him what had just happened, trying to get him to come up with something.

Badge and Henry Sr. are also old acquaintances, and they have been working for Reynaud since his father was still alive.

Hearing that Old Henry was suddenly acting strangely, Bucky suddenly frowned. As far as he knew, old Henry, although he seemed to have some problems walking and was out of breath when he spoke, was still very clear-headed.

He doesn't do things that people can't understand for no reason.

So he thought about it for a moment and said, "Bring more people and equipment." ”

Rather believe it, that's what Badge has always done.

Black Iron Town is now empty of troops, and although it is not afraid of someone coming to cause trouble, it is certainly better to minimize the impact.

"Although this is a bit excessive, it is better for you to go with it yourself. ”

Seeing that Badge was so cautious, Kreuzer gathered thirty convoys, mounted black walking birds, and rushed to the city gate with various weapons.

Before he could think of it, old Henry was already standing outside the city gate waiting, and there was a little girl standing beside him. Kreuzer took a closer look and found that it was Charlotte, whom he didn't usually see much.

For this beautiful little girl, Kreuzer and many of the guards were very fond of her.

Because according to some accounts, she has participated in the research and development of various weapons used by the escorts. And it is said that the Black Iron Army was able to successfully transform, and she contributed a lot.

In the past, Kreuzer would never have believed that such a little girl would have such great ability. It's just that this is Black Iron Town, and anything is possible.

It's just that Charlotte's costume is even stranger than that of old Henry, she is holding a white demon mouse in her arms, carrying a small shovel in one hand, and a huge iron frame on the ground next to her, I don't know what is in it.

Is it really a treasure hunt?

Kreuzer winked at his subordinates and stopped them from questioning.

Just take a break with this old man, anyway, it's boring to listen to standing guard.

He gave old Henry and Charlotte a walking bird, and then led them slowly down the west bank of the Liucui River toward the mountains.

After walking for about an hour, the lights of Black Iron Town were no longer visible, and old Henry stopped and let go of the iron rooster in his arms.

This "chicken king", who usually works in the courtyard of the city hall, actually has a pair of eyes that can see in the dark. However, at this time, it changed its normal state and became cautious, as if it had stolen old Henry's lunch and was discovered.

Charlotte also put down the white ** mouse Mi, it and the iron rooster are not going in the same direction, I don't know what to do.

"Alright...... Come here...... Digging ......"

The guards had strange faces, and they ran into the wilderness in the middle of the night, and actually let them dig a pit.

"I'll lend this to you. ”

Charlotte handed the small shovel to Kreuzer and laid out dozens of places around it with stones.

"What the hell is this?" Kreuzer finally asked.

"Don't you know what a mine is?"

Laying mines?

Kreuzer was even more confused, there were no people around here for ten miles, not even pheasants and hares, what were mines for?

"Hurry up, it's too late. ”

Kreuzer had no choice, so he immediately asked his subordinates to do the same, and several mines were quickly laid, and then carefully marked.

Don't look at the current mine is only the size of an egg, but the power is much greater than that of the previous melon mine, and once you step on it, there is almost no live mouth.

Under Charlotte's command, everyone retreated to the side of the hill.

At this time, it was almost early in the morning, and it was the coldest time of the temperature, and some of the guards proposed to build a fire, but Charlotte sternly stopped them.

Roshi looked at the gloomy sky and couldn't help but urge the team to hurry up.

According to his reconnaissance, Black Iron Town was less than an hour's journey from their current location. The thought of being able to do anything reckless in Black Iron Town made his heart feel hot.

The thousand people behind him are the elite troops of the Deer family, and they are used to climbing trees in the forest, so they should be able to easily climb over the walls of Black Iron Town.

They are not for the sake of capturing, but only for sabotage and troublemaking.

Because Luo Xi knew very well in his heart that if Renault defeated the Black Sheep family this time, then the entire Western Territory would be Renault's world. Unless the Lu family surrenders to Renault, they can only wait for the fate of being annexed.

He and his father had already discussed that it would be better to give it a go than to sit and wait for death.

Of course, they also made sufficient mental preparations for the final ending, so once Luo Xi succeeded in the sneak attack on Black Iron Town and robbed Renault's materials and technology, he no longer went back to his hometown, but went directly to the royal capital, and since then he has lived a carefree rich life with his family's savings.

Just as he was thinking about the good times ahead, there was a sudden commotion in front of the group.

Roshi's heart tightened, thinking to himself, could it be discovered?

But then I thought that this place was still dozens of miles away from Black Iron Town, and their sentry should not be so far away.

"What's going on?"

"Lord Roshi, it's not good!" a subordinate hurriedly reported to him, "there's someone blocking the road ahead!"

"Who?"

"A big rooster!" (To be continued.) )
