Vol 2 Chapter 26: Beast stepping into the trap (Part 2)

"Ahhh!"
The hat wrapped in a blanket sneezed fiercely, crouching squatting by the fireplace, holding a bowl of hot soup in his hand.
The hat that had just returned from the shack back to the castle was reporting his findings to the dark-haired wizard.
"Are you sure?"
Lorren's eyes narrowed gently, as if he was in a pensive expression: "I mean, not just some rumors and troublemakers, but someone behind the back?"
"Absolutely true." It seemed that the other party was suspicious of himself, and the hat quickly explained: "You have to believe me, I have never told a lie!"
"That night, after the granary was on fire, it hasn't even been there for a long time, and it has been spread outside! Everyone is talking about the castle breaking the grain. There are all kinds of things. If no one did this deliberately, the news would not spread so fast. of."
"Is it because I halved the relief bread and potatoes?"
"My dear wizard, you must have never received relief food." Hat sighed like an adult and replied with a wry smile: "Now this weather, it is already good for those poor people to eat. , Who is more critical? "
"Of course, there are many people who choose between three and four, but certainly not many. But if it is not organized by someone, this kind of resistance behavior is absolutely impossible to become a climate, and it is impossible to become like this."
"And you may not know that every time those patrolling castle guards leave, there will be a group of guys mingling into the shack, agitating those old people and young people left; not only that, I also listen It is said that even many guards in the castle are also rumoring that there is no food in the granary! "
"Even the guards are rumoring?"
"It's more than that, the guys who slipped in seem to be prepared early, everyone who joins them will give a dagger, and a few potatoes or something." The hat took out a hand from his pocket. To Loren: "I got it from another guy."
Lorren took a closer look. The texture of the dagger is very rough and even covered with rust-but in any case, this thing can also be used as a weapon.
"How many such daggers are there?" Loren asked, "How many people have they drawn?"
"Not sure, but there must be hundreds of them." Hat flat mouth: "Although the cover-up is quite good, but I can still see at a glance, that look is not like being hungry at all!"
Loren fell into a deep ponder. Whether it's distributing food and weapons, instigating and attracting refugees, or even buying the guards of the castle, it takes a lot of financial resources to do it.
Standing behind these people can only be the Sena family and their dog legs-only the entire Shenlinbao can have such sufficient financial resources, and they can do all this in a deceiving manner.
The castle guards will be bought, which Loren had already expected. After all, these people were originally soldiers of the Sena family, and it was only normal that the Earl of Deeplimb changed their loyalty to the loyalty of Ruben Freed.
Is actually the soldiers recruited from the refugees. The credibility and loyalty are relatively high, but I am afraid that they can only be used as guards. If they are really allowed to stick to the castle, the result will definitely be disappointing.
The defensive castle guards, the bewitched refugees, and the Sena family and their trusted private soldiers ... The walls of the Deep Forest Castle can't stop so many enemies. With only a small number of guards and guard knights, I am afraid that they can only stick to one day. Less than.
Even this is Loren's most optimistic estimate.
Of course, if it really evolved to that point, it was the problem of blatant rebellion of the entire nobles of the Deep Limburg, and the Duke Lothal would definitely not let them go-even if it was just for his own life, these nobles would not be stupid. To this step.
They will definitely mobilize their own private soldiers, but the number will definitely not be particularly large. The only thing that really needs to be worried about is the refugees and the bought castle guards.
Even so, there are too many enemies, and it can't last for too long just by a castle. Sir Aaron has at least ten days to return to Deep Limburg, and the people of the Sena family will certainly not wait until the tenth day.
Within ten days, they will start!
Before that time, he must solve the dilemma of lack of manpower as soon as possible-the knights in the castle can protect the castle from the front, but the enemy will definitely rebel against several guards secretly attacking, or even open the side door to put the rioting refugees in, and then strike while in chaos. Kill Ruben Freed.
If it is a raid, Loren may still be better, but this time it is to protect the count, the manpower in front of him is really pitiful, and it is impossible to take care of it everywhere by himself.
As for the little wizard ... she was lucky enough to protect herself. I'm afraid I will still score and take into account Ain's safety. I can't free my hands at all. By this opportunity, Barry Senna and his cronies are hiding in one shot!
What should I do ... Do you want to let Asrell do it again?
No, the granary's time can be explained as having prepared for a long time, but if a group of nobles were attacked by vampires in their own home ... Even if there is only a little possibility, both Ain and Ain will be chased by the church.
Asriel can only be a helpless choice, and also his final hole card. What I need now is conventional force, a reinforcement that can appear in a large crowd.
The dark-haired wizard who was lost in thought didn't say a word, and the hat hiding by the fireplace was afraid to say anything, drinking the hot soup quietly, and only the crackling sound of firewood in the room.
A knock on the door came from outside the room, and a gasping guard knight came in and handed a letter to the dark-haired wizard: "Lord Loren Turin, this was sent from the ancient wood forest border tower, only this afternoon Arrive! "
"It's hard." Noron nodded and took the envelope from the other party. After Sir Aaron left, Loren temporarily took over the position of military director and became the nominal head of the entire Earl's defense.
Although it is too strange for a sorcerer to take up this position, if the nobles had been upset in peacetime. But now everyone's attention is on the cold and the Earl's reform, and naturally no one will pay attention to these trivial things.
More importantly, there are far fewer people monitoring Loren in this castle than Luwen. The young Earl, who knows well, naturally handed over power to him, so as to ensure that the news will not leak ~ www .EbookFREE.me ~ Just opened it and glanced. The dark pupil contracted immediately. Loren changed his face and immediately looked at the guard knight: "What time is this?"
"Yesterday." The Cavaliers of the Guard hurriedly replied: "They have waited for one night, only because of the agreement not to enter the Earl's collar directly, otherwise the news will be delivered last night."
"Tell the guards at the border tower immediately to arrange a meeting-I will set off tomorrow morning and let these distinguished guests wait an extra night patiently."
"Follow the orders, Lord Loren Turin!" The guard knight immediately turned and left, even forgetting to close the door of the room because he was walking too hurriedly.
The attentive hat quickly stood up and closed the door, looking at Loren with a smile in the corner of his mouth curiously: "Uh ... what happened?"
"Uh ... you don't need to tell me if it's too important!" Immediately realizing your mouthy hat, she quickly waved her hand: "I'm just curious, I don't really want to inquire!"
"This is indeed a secret, and can't let others know." Loren smiled slightly and looked up slightly at the boy's panic look: "But you are not 'other', you are 'hat 'So I can certainly tell you.'
"A group of elves appeared from the direction of the ancient wood forest. They seemed to be the messengers of the ancient wood forest. They came to the Principality of Lotel for help."
"Elf ..." I have never seen what kind of hat the elf looks like in my life, and just sighed with emotion: "But why are you so happy?"
"That's because they are the reinforcements I have been seeking for a long time."
Smiling Loren said something headless and tailless under the bewildering gaze of his hat.
