Probably because of the rain the day before, the cumulus clouds in the dark night sky still did not disperse, and the hidden moonlight exuded a cold silver light, and the dense stars could not illuminate the sea covered by mist, and the thick water vapor drifted around with a salty smell, enveloping the lonely island hanging over the sea.

In the quiet night, the half-sailed giant ship had inadvertently appeared not far from the island, and three longboats with oil lamps suddenly appeared on the sea, driving slowly in a fog, like fireflies lost in the middle of the night, but they all moved in the same direction.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Edward, dressed in light armor, had silently appeared on the beach of Fort Clarion with thirty veterans, and after disembarking from the longboat, the sergeants gathered extremely quickly, raised their round shields and tomahawk swords, and vigilantly formed a shield wall in front of Edward.

"Signal to the people on the ship that Master Blake Hubble should bring all the soldiers - since the enemy hasn't discovered us yet, it's unlikely they'll find out!" Edward patted little Goodwin beside him and told him to take the ship back and give the order: "If you're too scared, don't come back on the ship - you're better alive than dead." ”

"I'll be back!" the little squire shook his head in dismay, looked at him with a sworn oath, and then got on board. Edward chuckled, then looked at the castle perched on the cliff of the island in the distance, and looked at it with some appreciation.

Although it was still a long time before dawn, and the mist was still obscuring it, the castle was clearly similar to The Hague Castle, which was clearly similar to The Hague Castle, perched on a jutting hillside of the island, surrounded on three sides by cliffs, with only one road leading to the castle, overlooking the whole island and monitoring this important route, which could be called quite tight.

But no matter how steep a fortress is, it is useless if it is not defended, Edward smiled contemptuously, and the thirty veterans who followed him quietly made their way down the mountain road by night, approaching the top of the mountain full of strength - although it was a rather important island in the sea, it looked very dilapidated, and there were only a few pebbles on the winding path to guide them.

It wasn't until he was approaching the top of the hill that Edward ordered him to take refuge in a wooded area outside the castle, and the veterans were half-crouching against their shields, their weapons ready to fight at any time, and the surrounding trees gave them excellent protection, and it was impossible to notice these experienced knightly sergeants unless they were near.

There were several braziers lit outside the gates of the castle, and by the dim and flickering light it was faint to see the guards standing in the doorway talking and laughing, and a side door by the gate was still ajar - a concealed side door like this would not open until it was time for the changing of the guard, but it was evident that the two guards had no intention of enforcing this rule.

Everyone silently waited for the order to attack, and Edward clutched the hilt of his sword behind his back tightly - it seemed that the castle's guards were quite lax, which could solve a lot of trouble.

"You just said that to that little squire, didn't you?" Shrell, who was standing behind Edward, suddenly asked, "He must be very important to you, otherwise you wouldn't be so irritating to that kid." ”

"I just gave him the power to choose, that's all. Edward replied softly without replying, "You can also interpret that I deliberately let him run over and die, whatever you think - but before that you have to complete your mission, there are still sentries on the tower, no matter how many there are, don't let them make a sound." ”

"I'll get my job done. Shirrell nodded, and ran down the path by the cliff with five or six veterans with crossbows in their hands.

It wasn't long before several alarmed pigeons flapped their wings and flew out with a shrieked chirp in the woods. Probably sensing the commotion, the two guards, who had just been bored under the city gate, walked towards the woods where Edward and the veterans were ambushed, carrying torches, and watching them get closer and closer, the sergeants remained silent, just staring at them closely, as if they were not at all worried about being discovered.

Silent Edwards waited quietly, as if expecting something to come. Finally, a scream came from the parapet of the castle gate, and in the midnight moonlight, several figures fell from it and landed in the mud puddle in front of the gate.

"Who?!" The startled two guards looked back almost subconsciously, but before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a steel sword sticking out of the mouth of the brother next to him, staring straight at him with extremely frightened eyes, stretching out his right hand as if asking for help, and the mouth that was held open by the steel sword kept making a strange choking sound.

"Ahh!!!h Edward, who was expressionless, reached for his right hand and threw the dagger out violently, the silver light and shadow pierced the back of his head with a piercing bone cracking sound, and he ran two steps like a puppet with a broken string, and fell to the ground.

One by one, the veterans, armed with shields and weapons, stepped over the two corpses and silently rushed under the castle gates, and with a loud roar, the sergeants who had broken the deadbolt rushed into the Horn Castle with a loud roar.

Sleeping in the fog and moonlight, Hornfort fell into a terrible panic, and the veterans of the Knights of the Sacred Tree rushed into the tower and the castle courtyard, and many of the guards who were still on patrol on the city walls at night were cut by the soldiers who were under the cover of the night before they could even figure out what was going on.

A panicked Dominic soldier shouted loudly, and as he hurried up to the tower to ring the bell, he had just ascended the stairs when he was pierced in the chest by a crossbow arrow from an unknown source, and fell from the city wall with a terrible scream.

The guards scattered at the top of the towers were quickly annihilated by the veterans, and the flames burned on the towers, and the screams and fighting were soon swallowed up in the dark night.

"Occupy all the towers and corners of the walls, and let no remaining enemy be spared, and we don't need to take prisoners. Edward, who had just walked up to the city, was covered in blood, wiped the blood from the blade of his sword from his sleeve, and shouted to the soldiers on the tower, "Light the torches and signal the brethren on the beach!"

"Die, Turin demon!" a Dominic soldier hiding in the corner suddenly rushed out, and with a frightened look on his face, he raised his axe and slashed at the back of Edward's head - he could see that this dark-haired guy was the leader of all the raiders, and if he was killed, he could ......

"Poof!" a huge steel sword struck, and the soldier who had just been excited and frightened was instantly torn in two by the steel sword from top to bottom, and blood and broken bones mixed with internal organs flowed out of the dissected shell, and no one heard what he was saying.

Edward, who turned around, glanced at Shrell, whose body was splattered with blood on half of his body, but the other party silently knelt down on one knee next to the young soldier she had just killed, gently closed his eyes, as if he was still whispering for her, and then slowly raised his great sword, ending the life of the dying teenager.

At this time, the defenders of the castle seemed to have finally reacted, rushed out of the inner fort and attacked the Turin veterans who had captured the tower, looking at Hirel Lightlane, who slowly stood up and was about to turn away, Edward was about to say something, and the sudden shout had already spread throughout the Hornfort.

"God Bless Turin - !!!"
