At half past four in the morning, the night above the top of the storm was dark and dreary, black clouds rolled in, and the stars flickered in and out.

The sea breeze that had blown from the east in the first half of the night suddenly intensified, and the icy wind howled from the coastline to the entire island.

In the dense forest deep in the heart of the island, there was a high-pitched wolf howl that rang out three times, and then countless wild wolves from all directions joined the chorus of people. The wind screeched through the branches and hills, and the howl of the wild wolves resounded between the sea and the sky.

Shape and Stein stood far away from the assembled troops on horseback, looking at Remassa as a temporary operative with gloomy faces, and their hearts were troubled by the sudden howl.

"How long has it been since Storm Peak heard something like this?" asked Shape.

"I don't know, I've never heard of it anyway. Stein replied.

"It's not a good sign, and I've told him several times that it doesn't work. ”

"If he made up his mind, no one could persuade him. ”

"That's right······ For the sake of the woman. ”

After counting the four thousand infantry and five hundred dragoons, Remassa put on his shiny helmet and was about to mount his horse, but turned and walked back.

"Don't be afraid, Hide," he said, standing before her, the first time he called her by name, "I'll be the first to come to your aid, and don't lose the fire eagle I gave you." ”

"I'm not going to lose it. There was no reason for a panic in her heart, but she tried her best to cover it up, "You too, be strong and courageous!"

Remassa nodded slightly, ready to go.

Suddenly, Hidden Heart Eyebrow nervously grabbed his arm with both hands, and he looked back in surprise, "What's wrong?"

She was speechless for a while, her chest was dull and blocked, and she seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end she could only spit out a few words with difficulty, "Be careful." ”

Remassa pressed her hand and didn't say a word, just looked at her to reassure, and at that moment, Yin Xinmei really wanted to hug him again, but she restrained herself.

When the whole army finally moved on to the front, Remassa was already at the head of the ranks, long gone.

Hidden brows shivered and still looked out in the cold wind, trying in vain to make out his image from the twilight.

Earl Gwen behind him had been watching her, and now walked up to her, "Everyone will return to the Wave Treading Lion safe and sound, Edrilei." If I were you, I would be more worried about myself, because Shakin is a terrible force compared to an entire army combined. ”

Yin Xinmei couldn't help but smile, and the worry in his heart was at least temporarily alleviated. She followed the Count, intending to return to the cabin, when she heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her.

It was the Shape brothers, who had come to her from hundreds of meters away.

"If something happens to the crown prince, you should decide on your own. Because—" Shape said.

"—because you don't deserve to be by his side at all. Stein answered.

After saying that, they looked at each other, and without looking at her, they all rode away. Yin Xinmei bit her lip and didn't say a word, and she didn't plan to mention it to anyone in her heart.

At the appointed time, at seven o'clock in the morning, the Coral Lighthouse received several special guests.

In accordance with the unwritten custom of the Liberty family, the two leaders of the guilty party were wrapped in several layers of tarps and dragged under the watchtower by a Morris warrior who tied them to the bridles of their horses with a three-meter piece of hemp rope. globe

Count Gwen and Hidden Eyebrows had arrived before them. Before they could dismount, several rifles and countless bows and arrows were pointed at them in all directions.

"You're not welcome here, Mosley!" someone roared from the window.

"It was the Black Lady who invited us here. Count Gwen replied calmly, "But that's how you Udini treat the strangers?, especially since two of Quincy's men are still naked and dragging behind their horses' butts, do you want us to use them as human shields?"

After a brief dead silence, a cowering hairy lad who seemed to be a doorman came to the Earl and demanded the invitation to be inspected by the sentry.

"I began to feel that the meeting was much more unpleasant than I had imagined. Hidden eyebrows muttered.

"That's pretty polite. Count Gwen said quietly.

The same rough voice rang out again, "You can come in, but you must disarm!"

"It's impossible!" shouted Yin Xinmei.

"Then I can only send you one word," the rough voice roared in ecstaty, "go all the way!"

Seeing that the rifles and bows were about to be fired in unison, Count Gwen pulled out a small dark green ball from his trouser pocket.

"Do you see this?" said the Earl, holding out his hand and circling around, "not only me, but also our brethren." Do you want to know what will happen to all the sentry posts around you once this ball is gently pressed?"

"There are no mines here!" howled in a coarse voice, "and we can sift you all into a net at any time, Crook Gwen!"

Hidden eyebrows quickly drew the repeater behind his back and fired an arrow at the window, piercing the man's right hand with the rifle. Her movements were as fast as lightning, and others just saw her move, and when she reacted, her rough voice had already been hit, and he erupted into a vicious curse.

"You won't be able to react to the arrows we put under your noses," cried Count Gwen with a mocking tone, "can you really pack a ticket where there are no mines? ”

No one answered him, and the whole outpost was silent.

"Who made you treat your guests like this?" a beautiful female voice floated from afar, angrily breaking the ice-forming deadlock, "if the prince hears it, he will say that I am not sensible." ”

Xia Jin appeared by a window on the fourth floor of the lighthouse, as beautiful as a tulip blooming in the cold wind.

"Count Gwen, and the prospective Duchess—" She folded her arms over the lattice, tilted her head and smiled, perfectly embodying the dual charm of an innocent girl and a charming woman.

Yin Xinmei has never seen such a seductive woman in her life, she is glad that she is not a man, otherwise she will definitely die in the fragrant breath of this woman, and before Yin Xinmei has always mistakenly thought that the other party is a dark and dry middle-aged resentful woman.

"Welcome to the Humble House, come on! I just went to make coffee, I'll see if it's ......"

Shakin disappeared as he spoke, but within a few seconds he reappeared by the window, "David!"

The rough voice immediately stuck out his head, and with a stammering smile, he hurriedly agreed, "Madam, you called me?"

"You've disgraced the Udines, come on!" Shakin commanded condescendingly, "tie him to the lead ball and throw him into the sea." ”

He was dragged away by three people crying and shouting in a rough voice, he wanted to scold, but before he could say two words, his tongue was cut, and the blood in his mouth was dragged all the way and spilled.

Yin Xin's eyebrows trembled, and he was dumbfounded.

"Now believe it, right? The crown prince is much safer than you. When they finally stepped into the lighthouse, Count Gwen winked at her.
