Heart of the Castle

Chapter 315 Evacuate the castle and scrape the ground three feet

The guard knights carried out Earl Enix's order without any complaints, and stepped aside to stand by. When they were serving in the royal capital Fermeyer, they never thought of fighting to death with a group of flying beasts.Although these monsters don't have the sharp teeth of a lion, the eagle peck looks much more ferocious. Although the equipment of the guard knights looks excellent, in fact most of them are useless. The light armor If an eagle pecks it hard, it will make a big hole!

On the other hand, compared with these guard knights, the wandering warriors who maintain their loyalty with money are more flustered.The guard knights of the royal capital also have a sense of honor to restrain their actions, so that they will not be so ugly under the threat of the griffin troops, but the wandering warriors have neither sense of honor nor discipline.When there were a large number of people just now, the bravery shown by these wandering warriors was enough to make the elite knights of the Kingdom of Arthur feel ashamed. When the spear phalanx also approached step by step, they were in a mess like a group of headless chickens.

Some timid guys desperately wanted to escape backwards, and a few reckless guys rushed forward, but most of them neither moved forward nor backward, hesitating and at a loss.These people crowded each other aimlessly, making the scene even more chaotic.

Baron Hughes felt dizzy for a while, but he still had a little hope in his heart. Those flying monsters looked extremely ferocious. Although Li Wei could order them, he might not dare to let these guys rush into the castle and start killing them.If the monsters were likely to go berserk after seeing blood, it would be a real disaster.

With this in mind, Baron Hughes rushed to his group of wandering warriors, shouting orders, trying to restore the chaotic situation, but his voice was drowned in the shouting and shouting of hundreds of people, and there was no sound at all. People hear, but no one obeys.As the group of griffins in the sky pressed lower and lower, and the phalanx of long spears on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, those wandering warriors who were hesitant just now finally made up their minds and retreated like an ebbing tide. There is only Baron Hughes alone under the griffin's claws.

The thin stabbing sword in Baron Hughes' hands trembled and fell to the ground, and the golden light of fighting spirit on his body also dimmed, "How could it be... like this..." He turned his eyes in disbelief, but except for approaching from the front with neat steps Apart from the guards of the castle, there is nothing in his field of vision. The hundreds of people who were aggressive just now have disappeared without a trace. look.

"They are all...betrayers!" Baron Hughes yelled suddenly and rushed forward, his blond hair flying in the cold wind, "Levi Ston, you dare not kill me, I am the Baron of the Kingdom, I am the Master of the territory!"

The stainless steel spear in the hands of the castle guard blinked indifferently in the sunlight, and pointed at Baron Hughes' chest without any hesitation. Baron Hughes' forward charge gradually slowed down, and then stopped, turning into a trembling retreat. "You won, Levi Ston." He lowered his hands dejectedly, "I... admit defeat."

There was a low blast of a horn, and then the sound of approaching footsteps died away, and the sun fell again as the triumphant cry of the griffin echoed over the castle.However, Baron Hughes's heart was full of darkness. He stood like a stone statue on the square in front of the main building. His body and mind were immersed in the bitter water of shame and hatred. They turned a blind eye.

"Butler Bart, how many things are left in the castle?" Seeing the miserable appearance of Baron Hughes, Li Wei couldn't help hesitating. The young lord was not aggressive in the first place, so the reason why he was able to do this was very important. To a certain extent, it was because all the anger towards those important ministers of the kingdom was transferred to the poor Baron Hughes.

"There are only some bulky pieces of furniture left." Butler Butler took out a notepad from his pocket and flipped through it, and replied in a low voice.

"Since Lord Baron Hughes has conceded defeat, I think, don't move the remaining things." Levi hesitated and ordered. "In this way, everyone can save some effort." Because it was inconsistent with Master Sujiade's instructions, he also explained.

"As you wish, Master Levi." Butler Bart replied with a happy bow. After all, it is not an easy task to move those heavy things out. Butler Bart has been worrying about what to do since the morning .

Watching Li Wei and others lead the castle guards and servants to leave through the gate, Baron Hughes let out a long breath of sullen breath, his eyes flickering with gloomy light like will-o'-the-wisps. "Levi Stern, remember, today's shame, I, Reinhard Hughes, will definitely..."

His voice stopped suddenly, and then he turned his head to look back. A well-dressed, thin noble old man was coming from behind him, with an amiable smile on his face. "What a soft-hearted young man," said Earl Enix. "He will definitely suffer from this in the future."

"You want him to kill me?" Baron Hughes said sharply, "Your Excellency, Earl Enix, did my concession ruin your plan? You originally planned to use my head to give this man from the North Put a chain on the head of the young lord who suddenly rises from the realm, shall he be able to control him?"

Earl Enix's smile remained unchanged, "This is in my plan, and the chances of this happening are not high." His calm tone was cold enough to make people tremble, like a blizzard blowing from the extreme northern wilderness It was as cold as cold, "I did regard you as a pawn to test the young lord, and I also expected him to be angry, because he is still a young man, he must be impulsive, but he probably won't kill you .”

"Probably not?" Baron Hughes, who gained courage from the extreme humiliation, sneered back and asked, "You let me risk being torn apart by those monsters, but you didn't tell me your plan!"

"If you knew the whole plan, I'm afraid you wouldn't dare to do it." Earl Enix replied, "What's more, although Levi Ston is a brat, he can be called a real knight. The observance far exceeds that of ordinary nobles."

"So what?"

"He won't defy the king's decree openly. At most, he will let you suffer some harmless troubles." Earl Enix said as he glanced at the empty hall of the main building. Waal wool tapestry, the table was covered with a fine tablecloth, silver candlesticks and cutlery.However, except for the long and heavy table, the flames in the fireplace are still red, all other luxuries have been boxed and removed, and now the walls are deserted. "...For example, moving away some furniture and daily necessities. Of course, it seems that a little more has been moved."

"A little too much?" Baron Hughes yelled furiously, "If I hadn't bowed my head and conceded in time, I'm afraid he wouldn't even give me a table to eat. This is robbery, and I must go to the Royal Political and Legal Affairs Office to sue him unlawful conduct!"

"As you wish." Earl Enix shrugged and said, "But please don't blame me for not reminding you, Sir Hughes." His tone was mocking, "Everything that Baron Levi took away was his own. , or you say he has no evidence to prove it, but you have no evidence."

Baron Hughes' handsome face twisted twice, his blue eyes were ferocious, and he muttered curses.Count Enix ignored him, but stretched his gaze upwards and forwards, watching the griffin troop flying away like a dark brown cloud and gradually disappearing into the sky.

"It's really disappointing, Levi Ston, I wanted to see how far you can go, but now it seems..." His eyes darkened, "That old fox in the red robe educated you very well , even in this situation, you can hold back."

His voice gradually became low, then he turned around, and was about to go back to the main building's lobby, but at this moment, there was a violent shaking from the ground, as if something huge was arching upwards.The wandering warriors and adventurers hired by Baron Hughes suddenly staggered, many of them fell to the ground, and most of the people with fighting energy could barely stand on their feet, screaming loudly for a while.

Count Enix showed extraordinary skill at this moment, he jumped up like a frightened wild cat, and when he turned around and landed, he already had a long dagger gleaming in his hand.

Baron Hughes has the qualification certification of the Grand Knight Commander. Although his certification is somewhat watery, the grudge that has reached the dissipated stage can still make him stand firm.The thin thorn sword was held horizontally in his hand, and it was burning with a golden battle qi flame, but he couldn't find a target to attack.

"what's up?"

"It's an earthquake!"

"Run away, this place is about to collapse!"

With panicked shouts, a large group of guard knights wearing light blue velvet battle robes swarmed out from the main building. Most of them were at the level of quasi-knights. The violent shaking of the ground made their steps stumble. , Many people have bruises on their faces and hands, and they are in a mess.

This scene made Earl Enix tsk, "You really are elite guard knights." He looked at these guard knights with contempt, "If you are attacked on the road, don't know who Who are you going to protect?"

"Father God! What are these things?" Baron Hughes' voice suddenly sounded beside him, it was unusually sharp, and Earl Enix was startled, "Sir Hughes! Please don't lose the king again. It's a nobleman's face!" He growled angrily, "Didn't you experience this when you were in Fermeyer? It was just a harmless earthquake..."

Count Enix suddenly choked, because as far as he could see, the solid ground of the castle square was rising violently, and it seemed that something huge and huge was about to rush out from below!
No, actually, those things have already appeared!
Several huge arms floated on the ground, each as thick as a pillar, made of mud and stones; then appeared several huge heads with two blue-gray gemstones inlaid on them, which seemed to be their eyes ; followed by a larger body and legs.Less than a minute later, amidst countless horrified gazes, four huge figures with a height of five or six meters appeared on the square, and the air was filled with low-pitched sounds like the collision of stones.

"Father God, what kind of monsters are these? They are actually hiding under my castle." Baron Hughes' exclamation seemed extremely frightened, but no one scolded him now, because even Earl Enix was shocked, Not to mention those guard knights and wandering warriors.

If it was the earth believers who were lucky enough to witness the scene of Kagino's arrival a few days ago, they would all kneel down piously to the ground now, right?Because these behemoths that are completely composed of stones and mud are exactly the giant earth elements that appeared at that time!
"It's very comfortable here, suitable for deep sleep." There was a mouth-like opening on the head of a giant earth elemental. Although there was still a dull sound of stones colliding, everyone could understand what it said. "But our lord ordered us to leave, and we must obey, and we must say sorry."

"They said...what did they say? Sorry?" Baron Hughes stammered, "Why are you apologizing to me?"

Earl Enix had no way to answer him, but it didn't matter, because in the next moment, the behavior of the giant earth elements explained their reasons for apologizing.

They shook their bodies five or six meters high and walked towards the city gate. The height of the city wall could only reach their chests.A few wandering warriors on the watchtower were so frightened that they almost went crazy, screaming and running down the ramp, pushing each other and crowding each other. One of them even stepped on the ground and fell off the city wall, almost dying .

Baron Hughes' complexion was not much worse than that of these wandering warriors. "What do they want?" His voice trembled. "What do these guys want to do to my castle?"

As if to answer Baron Hughes' question, the giant earth element walking in the front stretched out its arms towards the city wall, and then the arms of other giant earth elements joined in.Under this terrifying force, the stone city wall let out an unbearable groan, and a lot of dust fell from it.The giant earth element pushed forward again. The wall of the Viscount Castle is one and a half meters thick, which can be said to be quite strong. If it was not seriously damaged when the demon army attacked the castle, it should be fine in front of the giant earth element Support some time.

"Do not--!!!"

Amidst Baron Hughes' heart-piercing screams, the city wall of more than ten meters and the entire city gate collapsed, and dust as high as half a sky rose up. go.

Earl Enix looked at the miserable crack on the city wall, and was speechless for a moment. At the same time, he felt for the first time that the minister of the kingdom's temptation to Li Wei seemed a little reckless and ill-considered.

At the same time, Li Wei, who was riding a black nightmare and leading a large group of horses, suddenly frowned, feeling a message from the heart of the castle.

"The target city wall has been dismantled, the task is completed, and we are ready to return."

"What task has been completed?" The thought involuntarily came to Levi's mind, and then the smiling voice of the old magician Mr. Dish came from his ear.

"It's a very simple task, and it's also a very relieved task." The old voice said lightly, "Just now, those giant earth elements expanded the gate of the castle, and now it's much more convenient for people to get in and out."

"Mr. Dish, can you tell me how convenient it is?" Although it's winter and the wind is biting, Levi still feels sweat on his forehead, "You won't be the Viscount—oh, you should Said it was Baron Hughes' castle—had the castle walls been torn down?"

"In short, if the Kingdom Mission is going to leave now, it may not be very difficult for them to go out with more than a dozen carriages in parallel." Mr. Dish's answer made Li Wei feel that now he is not only on the forehead, but also on the ground. Cold sweat broke out on the back.

"Master Sugard's actions are already a very severe lesson for those people. If you do this, will it be too much?" Li Wei put forward different opinions.

"Based on the information he has, the little guy in the red robe has done a pretty good job, but it's still not enough." Mr. Dish's address to Master Sugard made the corners of Li Wei's mouth twitch, probably very old. Master Sujiad will also be dumbfounded when he hears it. "That golden retriever named Hughes hired a group of wandering warriors. These guys don't know what it means to obey the law. If you don't frighten them, once you leave, the tenants on the territory who haven't had time to leave will be miserable. "

Li Wei's expression suddenly became serious, "That's true, this question is my negligence." He admitted, but frowned in confusion, "Mr. Dish, I don't have enough experience in life to think of this. , Could it be that Master Sugard and the others couldn’t think of it? Why didn’t you remind me?”

"Because they don't know everything, let alone what you need right now." Mr. Dish replied with a sigh, "If you are standing on the standpoint of a lord, doing so will obviously cause the neighbors to worry. and fear, but only the gratitude of some farmers, the harm outweighs the benefits. But now the heart of the castle does not have the supplement of demon energy. If you want to continue to develop, enough faith power is the only way. In my opinion The gratitude and reverence of a few farmers is much more precious than the king's decree!"

"I understand, Mr. Dish." Li Wei nodded slightly, "But for me, even if there is no such thing as collecting the power of faith, as long as it can help those simple farmers, I will definitely not care about that Neighbors feel."
