In the past thousand years of history, the Sword Castle, which once gave birth to two sword masters and was named after it, drew an infinitely extended dash for its destiny on this day. Blinded by interests, the North Wind family ignores the admonitions of their ancestors and tries to return to the upper stage of the kingdom by marriage, but they don't know that they are dancing on a dangerous tightrope, and if they are not careful, the entire family will be shattered.

From the period of opening up the northern territory to the present, the heir of the family, who has the greatest hope of regaining the glory of the Sword Saint in three hundred years, fell into a calculation by mistake and was seriously injured and fell into a coma. If this pair of rebels of the North Wind family is not a surprise, then the unexpected fall of the royal family's puppeteer is a truly unacceptable event.

A dignified veteran gold-rank powerhouse, who can almost be said to be the top combat power in this country, died in such a poor and remote place without explanation, and the North Wind family could not argue even if they had all kinds of grievances. They simply can't explain why a little-known descendant of a family suddenly shines and loses both the puppeteer. What's even more inexplicable is that the sword that killed the puppeteer at the end turned out to be the long-lost sword of the fallen leaves.

However, the North Wind family soon found that they no longer had to worry about how to explain the problem, and the disaster in front of them was more important than the accountability of the royal family.

The Masonry Brotherhood reneged on the settlement agreement reached with the North Wind family, and Marble Hagnan, who had been confronting the Istalons, turned his horse's head and launched an attack on the Sword Keep.

When the wave of refugees swept through the Sword Castle, the Masonry Brotherhood, as the representative of the refugees, reached an agreement with the head of the North Wind family, that is, Diana's father, Michelo, that the Brotherhood controlled the refugees to establish a settlement outside the Sword Castle and not invade the urban area of the Sword Castle, while the North Wind family provided the refugees with food rations as much as they could. After Michelo fell ill, this agreement was presided over by Diana herself, and now when the eldest lady also disappeared, the Brotherhood immediately launched an attack in the name of distrust.

The rebels of the House of the North Wind were baffled by this, as all the preferential terms had been at least tripled on the agreements they had secretly made with the Brotherhood. Now they haven't waited for them to clean up these untouchables, but let these untouchables be beaten up. The pressure from the royal family is just that, what qualifications does such a pack of wild dogs have to spread wild to the North Wind family?

The rebels only remembered the dignity of the family at this moment, but they did not realize that the North Wind family had lost all deterrent power as the rebels fought each other, the family castle collapsed, and the most gifted heir was seriously injured and disappeared. 【For more exciting novels, please visit】The agreement is only possible to maintain when the strength of the two sides is similar, and the Masonry Brotherhood is obviously not the kind of righteous organization that understands the weak.

With a single blow from Hagnam's sledgehammer, he blasted open the impenetrable gates of the Sword Keep, and it took only three minutes to brazenly kill the sword protector Wallrhine who had rushed to question him. When the giant walked into the city with the flesh of Wallace, the rebels of the North Wind suddenly found themselves horrified to find that their side could not organize any effective resistance.

At noon, the Sword Castle fell.

Refugees from outside the city swarmed in, driven by hunger, and carried out indiscriminate looting of the city's inhabitants. The Sword Keep, which had just experienced an internal rebellion, was once again subjected to an unprecedented catastrophe, and the entire city was plunged into chaos.

In the evening, the Istaron cavalry entered the Sword Castle.

A neatly written letter appeared in front of Lolana, the envelope stamped with the emblem of the Masonry Brotherhood. After reading the contents of her mind, the maiden ordered the messenger to be killed and his head hung from the flagpole.

Istalon fighters began to sweep the neighborhood street by street, bringing the hungry refugees ...... It should now be called the mob driven deeper into the city. Under the deliberate indulgence of the Masonry Brotherhood, the thugs who had made a fuss of smashing and looting regained their courage and launched a counterattack against the Istarons with red eyes, and the flames of war were rekindled in the night.

In fact, most of the reason why the refugees are so crazy is not only their own hunger, but also because of the fear of the Isttalons. Despair can inspire madness, but it is meaningless in the face of a ruthless killing machine, and when the refugees discover that their god of war, the Hercules of the Masonry Brotherhood, cannot suppress the Istalen army by force, courage quickly disappears from their hearts and is replaced by fear, and the Sword Keep is unfortunately a catharsis for this fear.

The Masonry Brotherhood's occupation of the Sword Castle was not so much premeditated as it was more like being forced into desperation, and although they had strong hole cards on the chessboard centered on the Sword Castle, they did not become the strongest side. After the self-destruction of the Sword Keep, the Isttalon took the initiative, and as the temporary leader, Lolana was a profiteer with no lower limits, and her unreasonable and step-by-step pressure hindered the Brotherhood with strong personal force.

If it were Tiana and El, they would not necessarily choose to go head-to-head with the enemy in that situation, and they must consider the problem comprehensively from the perspective of the leader. Tiana would choose to negotiate secretly with the Brotherhood's prophets, and El might fight Hagnum again, but there was no need to say that now, and in the case of the two leaders' collective disappearance, Lolana would not have done it, and some of the people who were the representatives of the bad business were not in a position to accuse her.

After dark, the exiles moved into the cleared city, and for the long travelers, it was their first real rest since fleeing Istalen. A sheltered house and a warm fire were previously unattainable luxuries. In the face of this great sense of well-being, the destruction of houses and the corpses everywhere are problems that can be ignored. The surviving Sword Castle people were gathered together to create a new refugee camp. Although they were also innocent victims, the leaders of the exile ranks at this time did not have extra sympathy.

After settling down to Tiana, it was almost the second half of the night, and sporadic sounds of battle could still be heard in the city, and the fires in the city had basically been extinguished, but the smoke still hovered over the city, blocking the light of the silver moon. Elle twisted his neck, stretched, and found a clean place in the carriage and lay down.

There was a lot of space in the carriage, but with the exception of the Grey Goblins, almost all of them were piled up with various ingredients and treasures inherited by Lolana, and the books alone filled ten shelves and were crammed into the corners. The remaining space, although also wealthy, is only relative to the individual. The seriously wounded Tiana took the quietest spot inside, and Lolana had to squeeze to the door to do her own thing, while El lay under her feet.

Of course, because the girl wears an airtight robe, there is no benefit even at this angle.

"Don't you want to ask me why I'm doing this?" After waiting for a moment without getting a reaction from El, Lolana couldn't help but put down the document in her hand and asked.

Even if I don't ask, can you hold back and not say it?" El secretly complained in his heart, but he still didn't say such hurtful words due to emotional problems, just nodded and asked, "Why? Because that old guy is cheap?"

"I didn't expect you to be unexpectedly sharp this time. Lolana raised her eyebrows and whispered in surprise.

"How can a mere local gang organization cultivate such a perverted character. Elleng snorted and said: "Although there are some suspicions of boasting, but Tiana and I can kill all the way from Isttalon, how can we be regarded as the number one people, right? ”

"Do you simply suspect that they have something else to rely on?" said Lolana, noncommittal.

"Do you think we just went on a night tour last night?" Elle pouted, "We found that their food source is not normal, and it is possible that they have received supplies from the plague areas of the north. Although this is tantamount to showing suspicion that the Cursed Sect is in the way, it is still difficult for me to understand, why is it necessary for the dead to feed the living?"

"So you came to such a conclusion overnight?" Lolana glared at him angrily, and said angrily, "As long as you count by the approximate number of people, you should know that there is definitely something wrong with their food supply. With the power of Sword Castle, it will definitely not be able to support this group of refugees. It doesn't matter who feeds them, what really matters is that we can confirm that the Brotherhood has an unknown ally in the shadows. ”

"What's the difference?" El asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It doesn't really matter who the enemy is for us, a half-crippled army of exiles, because we don't even have allies we can trust. Lolana sighed, picked up a map of the Sword Keep from her hand, and said to El, "As long as the fact that the Brotherhood has an 'ally' is confirmed, many questions can actually be explained. We all believe that a gang organization cannot develop like this, but it is reasonable to exist. We can only work backwards with this fact......"

"Say the conclusion. El sat up and looked into the girl's eyes and said seriously.

"The conclusion is that the Brotherhood is likely to be working with the Cult of the Damned, which is not impossible, and one only has to think of the Temple of Ludne in Eastalen, which is essentially an organization founded by humans. Even if it is a dead person, as long as it is a human being, it cannot get rid of human nature. Since they can compromise, it means that the Masonry Brotherhood must have a backer behind it, whether it is the legendary underground evil god or something else, but in short, they are at least qualified to negotiate. Based on this premise, the Prophet's target should be the city of Sword Castle. ”

Lolana whispered.
