Chapter 6

Although the war between Denmark and Britain was temporarily over, the British spies secretly lurking in Copenhagen never ended their surveillance on Denmark. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At the same time, the people of the Ninth Defense were not idle, they would rather miss Christmas and St. Valentine's Day in 1808, but also patiently deal with these invisible invaders to the end, and through various means, obtain a lot of information about the enemy.

In order to get rid of the British surveillance as soon as possible and develop the country's strength, Prince Frederick suddenly ordered the blockade of the junction and port into the city of Copenhagen, and no one could enter or leave. In addition, the prince issued a secret order to Hans to secretly capture British spies lurking in the city of Copenhagen. The Prince's blockade order and the surprise action of the Ninth Defense caught the enemy spies off guard.

A few days later, the agents of the Ninth Defense finally paid off, and they unearthed many British spies lurking in Copenhagen. The spies, all from the British Detective and Medic Departments, were gathered together and secretly taken to the Tomahawk Fort prison on the northern coast of the island of Amae.

Tomahawk Castle was built in 1410 by order of Queen Margrethe I of Northern Europe as an arsenal until 1611, when Christian IV ordered it to be converted into a prison, where royalty, ministers, and foreign spies were imprisoned. Anyone who has learned about the torture in the prison of Tomahawk Castle will become a madman even if he lives. Although the reputation of Fort Tomahawk is nowhere near that of the Tower of London in England and the Bastille in France, anyone who has been there has nothing to say about it.

After so many years, Tomahawk Castle has now become a base specially used by the Ninth National Defense to punish enemy spies, and the torturers have used up almost all the punishments in European history, and those spies have confessed one by one under all kinds of torture, and some even have just seen the torture equipment, they are so frightened that they confess directly. This proves that no matter how fierce the beast is, it will become a sheep when it arrives here.

The people of the Ninth Defense also dug up the remaining lurkers through the confessions of the prisoners, or threw bait. Prior to this, some of these British spies had infiltrated traders, workers, and prostitutes, and some had infiltrated the palace and served as guards, palace maids, and so on. When the infiltrators learned that their identities were revealed, most of them committed suicide, and only a few were arrested.

When the last British spies were taken to Tomahawk Castle, Isabel became the captain in charge of the escort, as it was the important prisoners who were being escorted.

After the ship docked, the prisoners were taken directly to the terrifying Tomahawk Fort, the first and last time they had seen Tomahawk Fort.

The moonlight was bleak, the clouds were cloudy, and the earth was dead.

The roof of Tomahawk was covered with crows, and orange candles flashed in some of the windows. As the prisoners were escorted into the fort, some vicious dogs led by the patrolmen barked wildly, staring at the prisoner with bared teeth, eager to pull off the chains, pounce on them and bite the prisoner's throat. From time to time, there were heart-rending screams in the torture room, and it was like the edge of hell, which made people shudder. For those British spies who have experienced countless shocking scenes, this is nothing more than a means to show terror, and there is nothing to fear.

In the Ninth Defense, there is a notorious femme fatale-hearted torturer, who is the owner of Tomahawk Castle, and the people in the Ninth Defense are accustomed to calling him "a hungry wolf who gnaws on the bones of the Grim Reaper", comparing him to a hungry wolf who is not even afraid of death, so as to describe his viciousness. After Isabel handed her prisoner into the hands of the evil torturer, the torturer invited her to a restaurant where she planned to have dinner with the famous masked girl.

In the face of this hideous-looking and murderous torturer, Isabel seemed very indifferent.

The torturer also prepared fresh oysters and turkey meat for the arrival of the masked girl, and as soon as he sat down, he began to eat as if he hadn't eaten in days. He picked up a crab claw and crushed it with a click, sucking the white crab meat inside, at this time, he was indeed very much like a hungry wolf gnawing on bones.

Isabel had no appetite for the delicacies in front of her, and in the face of the torturer's gobbling up of food, she said, "You don't put so much food and wine on display for my arrival alone, do you?"

The interrogator was stunned for a moment, swallowed the meat in his mouth, then bared his teeth and smiled, and said, "I heard that you killed a British general and blew up a British warship with your own strength, and not only that, but you also cured the king's illness." ”

"There's nothing unusual about that. His Royal Highness the Prince asked me to come here to take charge of escorting important prisoners, and then to get more clues from these prisoners, so as to learn about other conspiracies of the British. ”

"Don't worry, once these criminals get here, they will all confess one by one. ”

"I'm afraid they'd rather die than confess. ”

"After dinner, I'm going to show you how I got the hard-boiled ones to confess one by one. ”

"I can't wait to get more clues from them, so I can go back and report to His Royal Highness. Then you hurry up and eat, I'll wait for you. ”

"There's no one else here, how about you take off your mask and eat with me?"

"Thank you very much for your kindness, but I've already eaten. The reason why I came to dine with you is purely to accept your kindness. We are in the Ninth Defense, and I, as a newcomer, have taken this opportunity to learn about the situation at Tomahawk Fort. ”

"After talking for so long, I still don't know your name?"

"Isabel Siegfried. ”

"Isabel, good name, my first girlfriend was also called Isabel, her name was Isabel Francesca. ”

"What's your name?"

"My name is Blanca AndrΓ©, and many people like to call me 'the hungry wolf who gnaws the bones of death,' and I like to be called that. ”

Suddenly, there was a heart-rending scream from the hallway, presumably a prisoner being tortured. Isabel listened quietly, "It seems that your interrogation of the prisoner has not stopped for a moment. ”

Blanca smirked, "I've always been like this, you have to be ruthless when dealing with such prisoners, even if they confess, I won't let them go." Because, I want to feed my adorable dogs with their meat more. ”

"Are you relying on those cruel criminal laws to prove your strength?"

"I will not directly torture the prisoner, I will put the torture equipment in front of the prisoner before the torture, and then explain in detail how to use the torture equipment. ”

"You will only stir up hatred of the British against you, and even against our country, and will not achieve the goal fundamentally. ”

"My purpose is to get them to confess and avoid the pain of flesh and skin, but they toast and don't eat and drink, so I don't think it's necessary to reason with such people, I'm going to be their nightmare, and I want to make them shudder whenever they think of my name. None of the spies who were escorted here, men or women, were intact. ”

"It seems that you have used all the punishments of Europe since ancient times. ”

"Pretty much, most of the prisoners here beg me to use flogging on them, for for flogging is already the lowest punishment. ”

"Who is the highest leader of these British spies?"

"Stoke? Brown. ”

"Can I meet him?"

"Of course you can, but only when I'm done. ”

"Then please hurry up and eat, I still have important business. ”

Blanca tossed his fork into the plate full of food scraps, "Alright then, I'm done." ”

Led by Blanca, Isabel went to a cell, where she saw a ragged, shackled, bloodied prisoner lying on a broken bed in a sturdy bar, presumably beaten many times.

"Stoker. Blanca clenched the cold iron railing with both hands and yelled at the prisoners inside, "Who said you should be put to sleep? ”

The prisoner rolled over, faced the wall, and continued to sleep. Seeing this, Blanca was about to scold, but held back again.

Seeing that the prisoner was pretending to be asleep, Isabel motioned for the jailer to open the door, intending to interrogate the prisoner herself, hoping to get more secrets from him.

As soon as the jailer was about to open the door, the prisoner named Stoker suddenly sat up straight, pointed at the jailer and yelled: "Don't open the door, get out, I don't want to talk to you face to face, you are not qualified." He glanced at Blanca with disdain, "I advise you to kill me, or ...... I will curse you every day. At the same time, he noticed the masked girl beside Blanca, instead of a trace of fear, his tone became more arrogant, and he humiliated Isabel, "The masked girl is also here, are you here to sleep with me?" I advise you to take a hot bath first, so that your body will be warmer, I think, at the moment your blood is accelerating, I haven't touched a woman for half a year, you might as well try it today, come on, come in." ”

Isabel didn't bother with him.

Blanca, on the other hand, could not bear Stoker's arrogance, "Stoker, do you want to be like your accomplices and be food for my vicious dogs?

Stoke laughed, "You're just their kind, so you're not qualified to talk to me." ”

"Don't you just want to die? It's not that easy, I'm going to torture you slowly. ”

"You'd better kill me, or I'll let you die a terrible death if I escape. ”

Stoke was a tough guy, and he would rather die than confess. Seeing this, Isabel immediately came up with a plan, she called Blanca aside and whispered, "Do you want Stoke to become one of our people?"

"Could it be that you can make him do our bidding? ridiculous, ridiculous. ”

"You might as well give it a try. ”

"What are you going to do with him?"

"He is now the most authoritative of these British prisoners, and therefore the more secrets he knows, this man cannot die, and I will let him serve us. ”

"I'd like to hear what you can do. ”

"To be sure, you have to assist me. ”

"As long as we can get Stoke to work for us, I'll do my best to assist you. If your plan doesn't work, but instead costs us, then I'll be the executioner to cut off your head on the guillotine. ”

"It's a deal. ”

"It's a deal. ”

To avoid leaks, Blanca summoned Isabel to her office to hear more about her plans.

"From now on, seal off the entire coastline of Amae Island, and let two or three British prisoners escape from prison without Stoke himself knowing. Isabel said.

Blanca wondered, "What, are you crazy? Those are British spies, and if we let them escape, won't our efforts be in vain?"

"Listen to me first. ”

"Say it. ”

"Feed and drink well and dress Stoker. ”

Go on. ”

"And let him dine with us at the same table, and from time to time we should toast him, and occasionally take him out for a ride or a horseback ride. ”

"Why? He's just a prisoner. ”

"Don't worry, Blanca, only you know about this matter, and you must not let a third person know, as long as you cooperate with me, you will become the biggest hero of the anti-Stoker. If you succeed, the credit is yours, and if you fail, I will bear all the consequences, and it has nothing to do with you, how about it?"

"You seem to be confident, huh?"

"Please do as I say, okay?"

"Well, since you've said so, I'll do my best to help you. ”

As Isabel had said, Blanca sealed off the coastline and arranged for a group of prisoners to be transported to a nearby lumber mill, where the prisoners were shackled and could not get out, and they did not dare to be careless under the watchful eye of the guards. In the process of carrying the wood, one of the prisoners accidentally saw a rusty iron nail on the ground, and without the guards noticing, he quickly picked up the iron nail, quietly unshackled it, and then continued to pretend to work, and then quietly shoved the nail into the hand of one of his fellow inmates. His cellmates also reacted quickly to open their own shackles, and he wanted to use this iron nail to save more inmates, but just as he opened the shackles, the iron nail broke. This proves that only the two of them have a chance to escape, and the others still have to go back to prison.

This time, the guards were not very strict with the prisoners, because they knew that even if the shackled prisoners escaped, they would not be able to run far before they would be captured or shot.

These prisoners must have been the elite of the British Detective and Medical Departments in the past, and for them, killing a few guards was as simple as playing a game. Suddenly, the two prisoners who had unshackled quickly unshackled, knocked down two of the guards, grabbed their guns, shot the other two, and began to flee desperately. The guards were in disarray, and while there was chaos, the other prisoners also rose up until the two compatriots who had escaped were nowhere to be seen.

Isabel had been hiding in a big tree not far away for a long time, and she could see the scene clearly.

At this point, Blanca arrived on horseback and learned from the guards that a prisoner had escaped, and he feigned anger and scolded the guards while he asked the guards to escort the prisoner back to the prison.

At this time, Blanca was the only one left in the lumber mill, and Isabel suddenly appeared in front of him and startled him, "Isabel, you suddenly appeared and scared me. ”

"Very nice, everything is going according to plan. ”

"Those two prisoners couldn't get out of the island, and I sent people to surround them on all sides. Blanca jumped off his horse and walked over to Isabel, "What are you going to do next?"

"Withdraw all patrols around Tomahawk Fort. ”

"Okay, no problem, I'll order it in a moment. ”

"Change Stoke to a comfortable room tonight, and it's better to find a doctor to treat his injuries, but not let him leave Tomahawk Castle. ”

"Okay, no problem. ”

That night, Blanca gave Stoke a comfortable room, not only gave him a full meal, but also gave him a hot shower and a doctor to treat his injuries.

However, Stoke felt that Blanca's behavior was very suspicious, Blanca has always been cruel and ruthless, and was also called by many people "the hungry wolf who gnaws at the bones of death", and suddenly treating a prisoner like this will inevitably make people feel suspicious and unable to sleep at night. He lay in a comfortable bed and couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, but he couldn't find the answer.

Stoke was treated by Blanca for three days, and his wounds were healed by the doctors, but he could not accept such a high treatment. That evening, he asked for an interview with Blanca and Isabel. So, the three of them met on the highest platform of Tomahawk Castle. Stoke made his way to the lookout and gazed at the quiet sea under the bright moon, and Isabel and Blanca flanked him. Isabel could see that Stoke had a question, but she didn't know how to speak.

"Stoker, didn't you invite us here to see the sea?" asked Blanca.

"Maybe Mr. Brown thinks we've been too nice to him lately and wants to ask. Isabel said.

Stoke let out a long breath, "You can say whatever tricks you want, you don't have to treat me like this. ”

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Isabel Siegfried. Why do you bother, Mr. Brown? You were born and died for your country, but do the high princes and ministers care if you live or die? Did your King George give you an inch of land? You are just a bullet for them. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it is my duty to serve the king, and it is my duty to defeat you countries allied with Napoleon, if you want to kill me, do it quickly, I will be very grateful to you. ”

"Mr. Brown, in Europe today, where war is raging, why can't we live together peacefully?"

"This is to ask the madman Napoleon in Corsica. ”

"Actually, we also hated Napoleon, and we were forced to form an alliance with him, and perhaps we could defeat him as soon as possible by uniting us. ”

Stoke was skeptical of Isabel's words, "Do you really have the determination to fight Napoleon?"

"I know you're going to doubt what I'm saying, but you have reason to doubt what I'm saying, and I can understand that, but I still think that instead of us fighting each other, we should join forces against Napoleon, and only by defeating Napoleon can the war stop, and we won't live so hard, right?"

"You have a point, even if you are going to fight against Napoleon, but your king agrees with you to do so?"

"If the king does not agree, can I not fight against Napoleon?

"What are you going to do?"

"I just want you to get back to England safely. ”

Stoke was completely surprised, "Why? I'm an important prisoner. He thought quickly, the surprised expression on his face disappeared instantly, and then smiled very contemptuously, "It's ridiculous, you don't want to seduce me here, I advise you to kill me, once I return to England, I will deal with not only Napoleon, but also you, you should kill me, if you let me go, you will definitely regret it." ”

"You're from the Military Exploration Department?"

"No, the Medics. ”

"In the eyes of you medical elites, we are your greatest threat, right? You hate Napoleon, but he is too powerful, you are not an opponent, so you come to deal with us, to show your strength. I'd rather be our enemies forever than offend anyone in the Strange Barracks, am I right?"

"Whatever you want, you don't want to get any secrets from me anyway. ”

"You can think about it, I don't mean to get any secrets from you, I just want you to go back. ”

"Even if you let me go back, I won't repay you, you better kill me. ”

"It's the first time I've seen someone as strong as you that if I killed you, it would be like killing a hero, and I wouldn't do that. I would like to advise you to think carefully about how we can unite against Napoleon. ”

Stoke let out a long yawn, "I'm tired and don't want to talk to you anymore." ”

"We'll take you back to the bedroom. ”

"Please. (To be continued.) )
