Chapter 619 News leaked
"At the earliest in the evening, or tomorrow morning at the earliest, our companions will come to rescue us."

Sir Pansha said this and continued to slurp his shrimp and fish noodle soup.

Eugene personally interrogated the captives and after listening to the Griffin Knight's story for a long time, he finally got some useful information.

The Griffin Knights of the Kingdom of Madeira are passed down from master to apprentice. Sir Pansha’s master is Baron Quihano, who had four holes in his eyes after being shot in the buttocks.

The other Griffin Knights in the army had some close or distant master-disciple relationship with them. Now that the two had not returned for a long time, they were either dead or captured, so naturally they wanted to take revenge.

When Eugene returned to the headquarters for a meeting, the photos taken this morning had been developed and printed, and the weapons of the two prisoners had also been studied.

The army of the Kingdom of Madeira was divided into three routes. Hannah and her team encountered the middle route. Judging from the military camps, the total number of soldiers exceeded 100,000, and the number of combat soldiers was estimated to be around 60,000.

The weapon used by the Griffin Knight to attack is a handheld magic crystal cannon with a limited range of about 300 meters and a killing radius of more than ten meters.

After discussing with the staff, Eugene began to arrange air defense in order to give the Griffin Knights a shock.

however……

Three days later, at the sentry post on the mountainside, Metzger shook his head and said to Eugene: "Division Commander, it's a good thing you let our company come. If it were another company, they would wonder how they had offended you."

If this platform on the mountainside was occupied by the enemy's airborne troops, it would inevitably pose a serious threat to the fortress below the mountain, so Eugene sent Metzger and his company to set up an ambush here, and kill anyone who landed.

But more than a hundred people were left here in the cold wind for three days, without even a glance at the griffin knights on the opposite side.

"It's very unusual for them to do this," Eugene said.

"The General Staff determined that there are two possibilities. The first is a surprise attack on the rear, and the second is to coordinate a ground attack after the main force arrives."

"I have already notified the St. George Fortress in the rear. Pay attention to the enemy flying from the mountain road to the rear to cause trouble."

"Don't relax here either. I'm worried they'll come here."

Metzger said, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of this place."

"I'm worried they'll come at night, so I've asked the engineers to set up positions."

Eugene nodded. The number of enemies sneaking in to fight would not be too large, so as long as they were prepared, there would be no need to worry about being ambushed.

He had just looked at the positions arranged by Metzger. The underground fortification network that Frederick had mentioned before was used here.

All the positions on the platform are underground. The bunker looks like a pile of fallen rocks on the top of the mountain. The entrance to the mine is also blocked with rubble, and all are connected by a tunnel that is one person high.

The bunkers were arranged in a triangle, and if someone stood on the ground, they would be shot from all angles.

The main reason was that the engineers were too idle, so they wanted to find something for them to do, so they carved out such a position.

Eugene asked again, "Is there a problem with keeping warm?"

The wind here is stronger than down the mountain and it feels colder.

Metzger replied: "No problem, no cold or frostbite at the moment."

At this time, someone at the observation post reported: "Company commander, there is something happening on the other side!"

Metzger and Eugene immediately went to the telescope and found an abnormal reflection on the top of the tallest tower of Count Sampaio's Castle in the distance.

"Someone is watching us from the other side," Metzger said. "It must be a senior officer who has arrived."

Eugene called the headquarters through the intercom and issued new orders, then said: "Their army is expected to be in place tomorrow, and I don't know when they will arrive."

"I'll go back to the headquarters. I'll leave this place to you."

On the top of the castle tower opposite, a fat and strong old man sat behind a telescope and snorted coldly.

There were more than 20 people standing behind him, and one of them, a middle-aged man, stepped forward and asked, "Father, is there something happening over there that makes you unhappy?"

Doss stopped looking through the telescope, leaned back in his chair, and asked in a cold voice, "How long have I been here?" Immediately, another person behind him answered, "Father has been in the tower for ten minutes."

"Ten minutes." Doss's voice was murderous. "I've been here for ten minutes, and I've been observing the other side for less than five minutes, and they started raising smoke!"

At this time, a cloud of white smoke rose in front of Wesson’s army’s position, like a wall, blocking the view.

Doss roared like a beast about to tear its prey apart: "Who revealed my whereabouts?!"

Almost everyone behind him took a few steps back. Count Sampaio wanted to follow suit, but was kicked in the butt and had to stay where he was.

This is Count Sampaio's territory. Today, His Majesty the King decided on a whim to come here early with a precious telescope. Only a local tyrant could pass the news to the other side in such a short time.

If they now dare to spread the idea that the king has arrived to observe the enemy, I dare not imagine what they will do in the future.

Count Sampaio was stunned and said hastily, "Your Majesty, you know me. I only dare to resell grain and smuggle slaves. I would never betray you!"

Doss waved him over to his side and asked, "Just tell me who ordered you to do this, and I'll pretend that what happened today never happened."

Count Sampaio hastily shook his head and waved his hands in denial: "Your Majesty, I did not betray you!"

Doss ignored his denial and continued to ask, "Who is it? Let me guess. If I guess right, you can give me a hint."

"Is it the boss?"

"Or the second one?"

"Could it be the third brother?"

……

He named all his nine sons, but Count Sampaio always denied that he had betrayed the king.

"You are so loyal."

After saying this, Dos suddenly reached out and grabbed Count Sampaio's belt, and with a force, threw him off the tower.

Count Sampaio had just fallen less than five meters when a ball of ice quickly expanded from his belt and enveloped his body.

When he landed, there was a hole in the ground and a pile of broken ice.

The guards not far away recognized the dead man from his clothes and immediately rushed into the castle.

At the top of the tower, Doss said to the people behind him: "I know someone can't wait to kill me."

His nine sons immediately came out to show their loyalty.

Some people were thankful that they ignored Sampaio when he came to see them a few years ago, otherwise they would be sad today.

Doss waited for them to finish and then said, "I am tired too. How about this? Whoever has made the greatest contribution in this battle will help me handle government affairs."

This not only shocked his nine sons, but also other great nobles, and many of them began to rethink the issue of taking sides.

At this time, someone came up and whispered something in Doss's ear.

"They all ran away?" Doss was a little surprised. "They ran pretty fast."

He didn't expect that Sampaio's family would run away so quickly.

Apparently there was a secret escape route in the castle.

Doss said nonchalantly, "Tell the wolves, they can do whatever they want with them if they catch them."
