Baron Fontaine had a strange feeling in his heart for a moment, as one of Duke Wolf's henchmen, he also knew that Richard's origin was very problematic, and it was said that he was inextricably linked to the heterotope. However, for some reason, the Duke had already tentatively decided to cooperate with Richard, so he also regarded Richard as an alliance on his side.

Tonight's abnormal movement on Richard's side, Baron Fontaine did not suspect that it was aimed at him from the beginning, otherwise there was no need to call him up, just do it. Of course, when receiving Richard into the castle, Baron Fontaine was not unguarded. It was only in subsequent contact that the baron did develop an appreciation for Richard personally, a young mage so talented and personable that if it were not for some insider knowledge, he would not see any trace of him as an outsider, and thus believed in the identity of the concocted descendant of some ancient family.

But Baron Fontaine's revelations were still shocked, and Sinclair's actions had spread through the human realm at flying speed. Although the rumors became more exaggerated the later they went, the listeners all reached a consensus that there was no possibility of cooperation or even compromise with this woman who was no different from the devil. She's totally lunatics, **s** and homicidal.

The few minutes waiting for the Captain of the Guard to arrive seemed extraordinarily long, "We...... Maybe you can leave?" Fontaine tried to suggest a possibility.

"No, it's too late. Richard shook his head a little heavily, and said, "We can't outrun her and her knights at all, and once we leave the castle, there is no danger but to die faster." ”

Baron Fontaine was also a decisive man, and immediately decided to hold on to help.

Since Richard expressed his willingness to stay, it is also a big help. Richard himself is a tenth-level magician, and his followers are not weak, so such a fighting force is willing to stay to help the baron resist Sinclair, which undoubtedly increases the baron's confidence a little.

It's just a small increase. The Baron did not think he could defend himself against Sinclair. She had wiped out a coalition of temples, nobles, and the Iron Triangle Empire. The Baron's only hope was to hold on to the castle and wait for the Duke's reinforcements to arrive. But this hope is also very slim, as the Duke's reinforcements will not arrive until three days at the earliest.

The captain arrived soon. Baron Fontaine issued a series of orders, first ordering the standing army stationed outside the castle to be prepared, and then ordering a few light horsemen to be sent every ten minutes to reconnoiter the position given by Richard. In addition, four fast horses and two messengers were ready to set off for help from the duke.

Then he asked about the number, ability, and composition of the troops brought by Richard, and assigned the locations where the troops under Richard's command were stationed, and they were in good order.

The baron finally sent for his wife and child to get up and prepare, but instead of rushing to sound the alarm bell for a general mobilization, he waited for the news that he had been sent out to scout the horse.

After the initial shock had passed, Baron Fontaine regained his composure. Although he completely believed Richard's news, he would not make the whole castle uneasy with just those few words, and Richard was not in a hurry, so he accompanied the baron to drink tea in the room and wait for the news.

At this moment, there was a strong fluctuation from the brood, and in Richard's consciousness, the brood was no longer a vague light. After completely devouring the four orc ancestor statues sent by Richard, the absorbed divine power has been condensed into a shining star. At this critical moment, the brood was promoted, and it finally digested all the divinity it had gained, and it was promoted to the third rank.

Richard hurriedly examined its new abilities, skipping all options for new combat units, and using the remaining energy to increase the movement speed of the brood itself. The brood can now fly at short distances and travel at speeds of up to 20 kilometers per hour in all terrain, doubling its speed compared to before.

The brood had already been instructed to rush to this place at full speed in the night, so that the brood would arrive at the original location ahead of schedule. And Dusk Castle is only more than fifty kilometers away from the mountains of the Land of Turmoil, and the brood still has a chance to enter the battlefield. After a moment's thought, Richard changed his original order, allowing it to reach the edge of the turbulent mountains and travel directly through the barony's domain to the castle of dusk.

And in the mountain forest, more than a dozen wind teeth are gathering together, guarding two eggs that are much larger than usual. Even if the brood is promoted, it can't move very fast, so it decides to lay its eggs in its place, leaving only a dozen tusks to protect them.

After a full half hour, two large eggs that were much larger than normal finally cracked, and then two giant wolves, which were half the size of normal wind teeth, crawled out of the eggs. They first eat up the eggshells, then shake off the water droplets of their fur and howl in the sky.

The eyes of these two giant wolves flashed with the smart light of wisdom, which was completely different from ordinary wind teeth. They exchanged words with each other for a moment, then split the remaining Wind Fangs into two groups, each with a group of Wind Fangs, and quickly made their way through the forest to the Dusk Castle at full speed.

In the castle at dusk, Baron Fontaine had already arranged a qiē defense, and as soon as the alarm bell rang, all the staff could be in place within a quarter of an hour. He looked at the clock on the mantelpiece again, and his face was even more gloomy, and an hour had passed since the earliest time when he had sent out the light horse, but there was still no return from the horse.

Baron Fontaine immediately stood up, grabbed his sword, and said to the captain of the guard, "Ring the bell!"

At the same time, the messenger, who had been on standby in the stables for a long time, quietly left through the waterway behind the castle of Guò. They would cross Lake Windermere under the cover of night, shore away from the Barony's Lordship, through the forest, and then run to the Duchy for help.

Richard nodded secretly, quietly studying Baron Fontaine's arrangement.

The silence of the night was soon broken by the low and majestic sound of alarm bells, and the entire castle of dusk immediately awoke from its slumber.

A large group of soldiers walked out of the barracks and drove into the castle. Their mission had been clearly laid out, and they would immediately go to the designated area as soon as they entered the castle.

At the castle's tallest towers, the warriors lifted the tarpaulin covering the crossbow machine, and with a strong twist of the winch, they filled the crossbow with arrows the same size as the knight's war spear. The crossbow arrows are engraved with a magic array, and in addition to being powerful, they also have automatic locking and tracking functions, and have a range of up to a thousand kilometers.

The Dusk Castle was originally used for vacation, and it was still mainly built for beauty and scenery. Although the outermost building considered the function of the war barrier, for the sake of overall harmony and beauty, it was inevitable that some deletions would be made, so the defense was weak, and the role of these giant crossbows was extremely important.

After Baron Fontaine took over the management of the castle, he strengthened the entire area without affecting its appearance, and spent a lot of money on a few magical crossbow arrows. If you are shot by a crossbow arrow, as long as you are under the Sanctuary of the Faro plane, you will be seriously injured.
