On the mountain road to the castle, the two carriages were bumpy, the road was rough and there were many stones, and the horses had to slow down a little to prevent them from reaching their hooves.

In the carriage of the carriage in front, the gendarmerie knight opened his mouth in surprise, and looked blankly at the girl sitting opposite her, the answer was in his heart, he could not bear it any longer, so he asked vaguely:

"Dare to ask, you are from the imperial capital...... The sister of the big aristocratic family? ”

"Hey, guess." The girl winked mischievously at him.

The shabby floral cloth skirt had been thrown into the carriage by her, and in order to facilitate her movement, she had changed into a red and black hussar uniform, with no rank on her shoulders and a long snow-white neck on the hard high neck, and her true face was undoubtedly revealed.

Whether it's that long, straight silver hair, or long silver eyelashes. Or those rare lilac eyes, all the features make the answer obvious.

The gendarmerie knight asked excitedly: "I saw a portrait of a member of the royal family once, but I didn't expect that real people are much more beautiful than paintings, ...... Are you the princess of the Empire? ”

"Congratulations, you guessed it! My name is Edgar, and it's a pleasure to meet you, gendarme. The girl held out a slender white hand to the other in a friendly manner.

"Na! You're really approachable! I'm so lucky! ”

Flattered, the gendarmerie knight hurriedly reached out and shook it.

The result was very surprising to him, it was completely wrong, it was not the feeling of shaking hands with the princess at all,

The outline of the back of the hand was stunningly beautiful, but the palm of the hand was covered with calluses, and his palm ached, and it was shaking hands with the princess, almost like shaking hands with a blacksmith.

Now that she has taken off her headscarf and mask, there is no need to hide her identity, and she no longer has to play the role of a maid, and now she seems much more relaxed.

One of the militiamen plucked up his courage and asked, "Your Majesty, the other tall lady with a masked face is also a royal nobleman, right?" ”

"That's my old sister, Princess Rosemary."

Edgar spoke, but there was no delay in his hands, and his flexible and powerful fingers were busy,

A brand-new military carbine was placed on her lap, she made sure that all the parts of the gun were in order, then loaded the gunpowder and pellets, put on the insurance, and finally pulled up the strap and carried it to her shoulder.

A large-calibre, four-barreled shotgun was carried in front of her, two military pistols and a heavy straight-edged saber were diagonally attached to the belt, and the cartridge and powder pack were loaded into a leather magazine and attached to the belt, along with a spare flintstone bolt.

Her beloved axe leaned against the wall of the carriage, its cold, deadly metal blade reflecting the moonlight, giving off a chill.

Those who faced her swallowed in surprise,

The rumored princess in uniform was indeed the case, the savage and rude princess armed herself into a mobile arsenal, which was obviously the effect she wanted most, and everyone saw a fanatical light in her eyes, and there was no doubt that her heart was full of longing for battle.

"We're almost there." The coachman said.

The carriage gradually stopped, Baron Victor pushed open the window, heard the crows and bats flapping their wings, and the moonlight pierced through the mist to illuminate the ancient stone walls, and the castle of Count Brandon was right in front of them.

William Ainfurt exclaimed: "What an eerie place, no wonder the folk tales call this the vampire castle, and when this is over, you must call Constance over and open your eyes." ”

After everyone got out of the car, the gendarmerie knight who was in charge of leading the way couldn't wait to walk quickly to the castle gate,

He was amazed to see that the castle gate was in an eerie state, with two towering iron oak doors shut, covered with claw marks from unknown creatures, the dirt underneath had been churned, and the vines around it were dry and dead.

"Na! This...... This is very wrong! I remember it clearly! The gate had been left open for centuries since the Count's execution, the hinges had been rusted to death, and the panels had sunk into the mud, and they should have been completely unable to move!

But today...... The gates of the city are shut! My lord! This is not something that can be done by man! Is there really a devil at work? ”

The gendarmerie knight raised his head in horror and glanced at the strange blue light emanating from the castle tower, he drew a cross on his chest, held the icon in his hand and prayed: "My lord bless, the demons are scattered......"

The vigilante and the other three militiamen were also locals, and the story of the vampire count had already planted the seeds of fear in their hearts, and after seeing the strange changes in the city gates, they were also frightened, and they prayed with the gendarmes.

Victor was a little unhappy with the gendarme's actions, and before the action began, the superstitious fellow began to create panic, which was a foolish act to encourage others and destroy his own prestige. Victor knew he had to find something to keep everyone busy, so that they didn't have time to be afraid.

The three militiamen were ordered to push the gates together, but when they did not move, Victor rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "I'm coming!" ”

As the giant-like man slammed the door, the tall metal-trimmed oak door creaked dangerously, as if it was about to be toppled at any moment, and after half a minute of hard work, Victor had to give up.

"No, it can't be pushed at all, there must be a very strong gate behind the door."

"Get out of the way!" Edgar walked over with a long-handled axe, she spat on each of her palms, and rubbed her palms: "Isn't it just a broken gate?" Look at me! ”

After a run-up, she rounded her axe and struck it hard at the crack in the door.

"Cluck!" Wood chips flew, and the iron-clad oak door panels were split into a deep crack.

Everyone was stunned by the power and momentum of this axe, and even Victor, who was known for his strength, had to admit that he would never be able to do such a powerful slash.

Edgar kicked at the gate, "This thing is so strong!" It is worthy of an old object from the period of the knight's war! She took a few steps back and moved her arm slightly: "Come again!" I'm not going to pull it back this time! ”

Victor was shocked into a cold sweat by the princess's words: (Collect the strength?) Oh my name, there was still room for that horrible slash just now? Is she real, or is she being stubborn? ）

As it turned out, the princess's words were really not strong.

Just like last time, Edgar launched another slash with a run, but this time, she used all her strength,

"Click!" The rotten wooden door could no longer resist such a tyrannical force, the iron sheet and wood on the surface fell apart, a large hole was split in the crack of the door, and the inner gate was also split with a blow.

Edgar tried to push the gate open, but the hinge was already rusty and couldn't move, and everyone tried to come up to help, but she stopped them.

"Don't worry, everyone, wait for me to clear the way for you!"

Then she swung her axe again, slashing wildly in succession.

The door panel was almost chopped to pieces, and then, she lifted her long leather boot and kicked it vigorously at the left half of the door that had been badly damaged.

The heavy door panels collapsed, causing a choking cloud of dust, and by the time the smoke cleared, the road to the interior of the castle had suddenly opened up, and the inner walls could be clearly seen.

Edgar carefully examined his weapon and said happily, "My new axe is so easy to use, it slashed so hard that it didn't leave any gaps!" At this point, she glanced at Young Master William gratefully.

Because she was in a good mood, she played with her heart, and with a naughty expression, she made a ladylike and respectful gesture to everyone:

"Gentlemen, please come in!"
