Chapter 225: The Burning Night Sky (Part II)
"Hurry, hurry!
In the thick of the night, the crashing sound of steel armor came like waves, making the silent night reveal a thick smell of tension and gunsmoke.
Columns of armoured and heavily armed soldiers followed the path toward the castle of the Clumbel family.
The first officer was the young officer who walked out of Lydia's room, his name was Vidlichko, he was a major general officer of the Tareras family, he was one of the few young high-ranking officers in the Tareras family, if it wasn't for Tareras's loyalty and talent to keep him in the Tulip County guard base camp, otherwise he would have been brought into the imperial capital by Tareras.
However, because of this, Vidlichko also escaped and did not die with Tareras in the imperial capital of Garcia, and he and his personal guard can be said to be the most effective ace unit in the entire Tulip County, which is completely comparable to the noble guards around Princess Angel.
If it weren't for the fact that the number of this force was too small, only less than three hundred, it would have been directly transferred to Wenhe Pass by Fitoshe and the Senate to meet the enemy.
But it is precisely because of this that when the aristocratic coalition army pressed in, everyone's attention in Tulip County was focused on the two shocking events of Wenhe Pass and the death of the duke, and no one noticed that there was such a powerful army ambushing next to the central heart of Tulip County.
Although Princess Angel reminded Fitosher to pay attention to the people around her, Fitosher did not take this sentence to heart, firstly, this middle-aged man was very disgusted with outsiders like Angel meddling in his family's affairs, and this woman still had such a bad precedent as a single person breaking into their top-secret meeting; second, the Duke of Tareras has always been a big backer of the Clumbel family, and although the Tareras family and the Clumbel family are related by blood, one of the two parties has always been a dominant relationship and the other is a subordinate relationship, and this deep-rooted concept of master and servant has been maintained until the news of the death of the Duke of Tareras spread in Tulip Countyใ
The death of Tareras was a huge blow to him and his family, the old duke had no powerful family lineage in his life, no male heir of amazing ability, and the only daughter was notoriously willful.
As soon as the Duke died, the entire Tareras family existed in name only, which also led to the power of the entire Tulip County falling directly into the hands of the Clumbel family, and fell into the hands of Fitoshe.
The Clumbel family has always relied on the Tareras family to prosper, but no matter how rich and powerful they are, they have always lived in the shadow of the Duke of Tareras, and this depression and jealousy can be seen from Agatha's treatment of Lydia's robbery.
And now that Tareras is finally dead, and the Clumbels have lost their biggest supporter, some of them are still without the pleasure of dissipating the shadow that has been pressing on their heads, such as Fitosher, such as Agatha, who no longer keeps a low profile and smiles at Lydia.
A person who has been suppressed all the year round, suddenly turns over and becomes the master, and the person he fears the most is gone, the kind of happiness in his heart and the carelessness that comes with it can be imagined, especially Lydia is a famous vase, and has not been out of the house since she moved into the Clumbel family mansion.
How could Fitosha go to guard against such a girl?
Therefore, Fitosche did not take Angel's words to heart at all, he only appropriately strengthened the defense force of the vigilant patrol, strengthened the surveillance in the Senate, but did not guard against the threat from Lydia.
In the dead of night, when everyone is asleep, Lydia directs Vidlicko to attack suddenly!
When a person who has lost everything begins to take revenge on everything around him, the power that this person can generate is extremely terrifying, especially when this person still has a strong army in his hands, this destructive power will be multiplied, but if this hysterical madman is still a girl, then all this will become a nightmare, she is enough to make everything in front of her go into the abyss of hell with her, and be buried with her!
Lydia had done everything by chance, if it weren't for Fitoshe's carelessness, Vidliczko and his soldiers wouldn't have been able to storm the castle like a barrel, if it weren't for Tang Jie's deliberate Fitosher, Lydia wouldn't have had enough time to set it all up, and if it weren't for Vidlicko's foolish loyalty, he wouldn't have chosen to accompany Lydia in this almost self-destructive suicidal madness.
All this has created a terrible night, and it is also a night that the Clumbel family will remember forever, and it is precisely because of this night that they no longer dare to underestimate the man from the sea, and they have a deep emotional understanding of this man who once shook the imperial capital.
When Vidlichko and his soldiers came to the castle of the Klumber family, the guards on the tower shouted: "Who is it?"
Although Fitoshe was very careless about Lydia, he did not have the slightest flaw in the security arrangement of the castle, after all, the aristocratic alliance was only less than a hundred miles away from here, although the wind and waves were calm here, but there was a river of blood under the Wenhe Pass, so these guards in charge of defense were naturally very vigilant.
But it was not the enemy who came to answer, but the "own people" in their hearts.
Vidliczko lifted his silver armor and said loudly: "I'm Vidlichko, I have been ordered to come to strengthen the castle's defenses, open the door and let us in!"
The castle in the Clumber family's mansion was not very tall, and compared to the towers of the imperial capital of Garcia, it was so short that it looked like a child next to an adult.
The castle's walls were less than four meters high, and a row of burning torches were planted on the other side of the suspended drawbridge beneath the castle, and the flames illuminated Vidliczko's face so that the people on the tower could see it clearly.
As soon as the guards on the tower saw Vidlichko's face, they were immediately suspicious, and the officer at the head nodded and shouted to the guards on the noose: "Put down the drawbridge and open the city gates!"
With a bang, the suspension bridge that was suspended in mid-air was slowly lowered, and the tightly closed iron gate was slowly raised.
A gleam erupted in Vidlichko's eyes, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a bloody smile, and then waved to the more than two hundred and eighty elite soldiers under him: "Up!"
The soldiers rushed through the castle gates like wolves!
Under the leadership of Vidlichko, these elite soldiers quickly rushed up the corridor of the castle tower with preparedness, and when Vidlichko came to the officer of the castle tower, the officer did not know that his death was coming, and he greeted Vidlicko with a smile: "Why did you transfer you in? Could it be that there is something changing?"
Vidlicko's smile under the visor was very evil, and his voice buzzed from the visor: "Yes, there are indeed some changes and movements!"
The officer looked curious, and he stepped forward and said with a grin, "What's the matter? For the sake of the god Raphael, you don't have to hide it from me, right?"
The officer had a good personal relationship with Vidlichko, but he didn't expect that this young man was a guy who turned his face and didn't recognize his relatives.
Vidlichko smiled and leaned into the officer's ear and said, "Change and movement are ...... You and your men, go all the way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a short dagger in his hand stabbed viciously into Vidlichko's ribs!
The officer was shocked, his mouth was wide open, his throat gurgling, he looked at Vidlicko in disbelief, his fingers gripped Vidlichko's arm like a hook, but unfortunately his arm was covered with heavy and hard armor, and the dying officer could not leave any traces of his fingers and slowly slipped and fell to the ground.
Vidlichko pulled out the short dagger from the officer's waist, and the red blood dripped down the tip of the dagger and fell to the floor, he glanced coldly at the soldiers around him, and said: "What are you waiting for? Quickly seize the major points, those who are willing to surrender are tied up, and those who are not willing to surrender will be killed!"
"Whew!" the soldiers let out a loud cry in unison, and they dispersed.
The soldiers in charge of the city defense did not expect that these "own people" would suddenly attack, and their combat strength was far from these personal guards, which made these elite soldiers like a hot knife cutting into cheese, and the entire city tower fell into their hands in an instant, and the soldiers in charge of defense were killed on the spot, and for a time the city tower was bleeding all over the ground, and the heads flew wildly.
The loud shouts of some of the rebellious soldiers alarmed the guards inside the castle, but when Vidlichko eliminated the guards and turned around and killed the castle, they viciously slaughtered the guards like a pack of wolves that had burst into the flock.
Screams, shouts, roars, and wails filled the sky, and the glow of the torches shaking in the castle illuminated the night sky, and the entire castle was startled by the sudden change.
Emilia, who had been serving her in Emma's room, got up from the side of the bed, opened her sleepy eyes, looked out at the fire, and did not come back to her senses for a long time.
She turned her head, only to see that Emma had already gotten out of bed, looking out the window vigilantly, "What's going on?"
Emilia smiled and comforted Emma: "I don't know, but there shouldn't be anything, it may be a fire." โ
Emilia smiled and walked to the door, then turned back to Emma and said, "Miss Emma, go back to sleep, I'll tell you something, I'll go out and have a look now." โ
Emma stretched out a hand to stop Emilia: "Hey, don't go out, it seems to be ...... outside" Before she could finish her words, Emilia walked out with a grin.
Emilia had just gone out into the corridor, and before she could rub her sleepy eyes, she saw several soldiers in the corridor, covered in blood, wearing full-body armor, wearing face-covering helmets, and holding long swords, swooping down on her!
These soldiers are burly, and wearing heavy armor, when they step on the floor, they make a terrible rumbling sound, like a monster that is galloping at high speed, the long sword that is shining in the cold is the fangs of this monster, Emilia's eyes widened, and she watched these soldiers approach quickly, in her blue eyes, these monster-like soldiers are getting bigger and bigger, getting closer and closer, and one of the soldiers in front of her is rushing from the bottom to the top, slamming the long sword!
With a tear, Emilia's whole person was suddenly cut in half, and blood and internal organs spurted wildly in the air!
These soldiers were like the most cold-blooded and cruel machines, killing the maid who was still cardamom age without mercy, trampling her corpse and the internal organs flowing on the ground, and quickly divided into two groups, one of them pounced into Emma's room, while the other three did not stop, and rushed towards Tang Jie's room quickly!
