Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 7 Catastrophe

According to Zhang Tie's instructions, the car of the three people did not drive over, but turned off the lights and stopped. Zhang Tie stayed behind to protect Olina, and Kita walked towards the castle alone.

Soon, Kita came to the drawbridge below the castle.

The drawbridge was closed, and a moat more than 20 meters wide protected the castle. The moat was also the last warning to trespassers. In the defense system of the castle, anyone who crossed the moat without permission, The castle has the right to attack, because you have crossed the castle's defenses and entered someone else's private territory.

Kita, who came to the edge of the moat, raised his head to look at the steam ballistas on the high wall across the river, and felt a little trembling in his heart. Although it was late at night, the lights on the city wall could still make Kita The tower saw clearly that the muzzles of those steam ballistas were shining with a cold light, and they were facing the drawbridge below the castle intentionally or unintentionally. Moreover, even the gun cover of a honeycomb ballista with diffuse strikes that was not used much on weekdays was lifted, and the angle of the muzzle, slightly drooping, was facing directly below the castle.

In Kita's memory, on weekdays, the muzzles of those steam ballistas were placed flat. Today, under Zhang Tie's reminder, he carefully observed these details that he didn't care much about on weekdays, and he really felt the castle There was a vague murderous aura upstairs.

"I'm Mrs. Olina's head of guards, Kita, lower the drawbridge!" Kita took a deep breath and stood by the moat, shouting at the top of the castle with all his strength. In the past, as soon as the people on the castle saw Mrs. Olina's convoy approaching, the drawbridge would be lowered automatically.

With the same words, Kita yelled twice from below. At the beginning, there was no movement above the castle. After more than ten seconds, a somewhat arrogant and lazy voice sounded from the tower of the castle.

"Whoever is screaming below, this is Hailanbao, people who have nothing to do with it, get out of here, or I will be rude to you!"

Kita was not familiar with this voice, even as Mrs. Olina's chief guard, it was impossible for Kita to know the voices of everyone guarding the merchant group in the castle. But as soon as the voice opened his mouth, Kita knew that there was indeed something tricky on the tower. He was so loud that many people on the tower should have heard it. According to common sense, the one who responded to him should be a captain of the guard who was on duty on the castle tonight. , Those captains of the guards are very familiar with themselves, and they should also be familiar with their own voices. How could they run out of a small role to let themselves go away?

"Perif, Kerry, Alexander, Ji Gang, Adilina, who are you up there tonight, answer me!" Kita shouted angrily from below, "You bastards, who is up here? Above, come out to speak, can't you even hear my voice?"

"Hurry up and get out of here, and call here again, we are about to shoot arrows!" The voice just now appeared again, but this time, the voice was obviously much harsher, with a vicious feeling.

"I'm Kita, Lady Olina's head of guards. Many brothers in the castle should know me. Who dares to shoot me here, and the lady will not skin him when she comes back? Perif, Kerry, Alexander, Ji Gang, Adilina, who's up there, come out and talk to me!"

Kita continued to shout loudly below the castle, and there was already some commotion on the walls and towers of the castle.

Finally, a familiar voice from Kita appeared from above.

"Who's down there?"

"Kerry, I'm Kita, put down the drawbridge!"

"Kita, aren't you with Madam, why are you alone now, Madam?"

"Ma'am is in a safe place,

Someone wanted to harm Madam, she asked me to come back first, and asked you to bring the guards in the castle to pick her up! "

Hearing Kita's words below, on the tower of the castle, the expression of a man in his forties with a beautiful mustache and slightly blue face changed, and several of his trusted guards stood by him. Beside him, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, looking at him a little at a loss.

The current situation is completely beyond everyone's expectations, and their arrangement has suddenly come to naught.

The man in his forties gritted his teeth, and shouted to the outside, "Sea Blue Castle's regulations, after nightfall, without Madam's order, the city gates are not allowed to be opened to let people in, and the mobilization of troops in the castle requires Madam's personal order. Tower, what you said is your one-sidedness. I haven’t seen Madam’s order. Even if we know each other well, I can’t break the rules of the castle for you. Unless I see Madam coming in person, I won’t do it for you. Open the city gate, and you will not be allowed to transfer the troops in the castle away!"

"Perif, you bastard, if you don't come out quickly, I will ask you to pay back the more than two hundred gold coins you owe me tomorrow, and Alexander, Madam is in need of manpower right now, you are still sleeping Dajue, Ji Gang, you bastard, besides flirting with women, can you use it for a while, Adilina, if you don’t come out again, I will be a widow after I hang you up!”

The voice of Kita outside the castle was getting louder and louder, ignoring Kerry at all, but below, across a moat, shouting the names of the other guard captains in the castle, cursing at the same time.

The faces of the few people in the tower were completely ugly.

"Captain Kerry, do you want him to shut up? At this moment, just pull the trigger..." A guard beside Kerry quietly took a step closer and said in a low voice.

"Shut up, do you want me to bury him with him?" Kerry cursed in a low voice, but he was also a little troubled in his heart. He didn't know what was going on outside. If Kita was killed under such circumstances, once Which woman has nothing to do, when the day breaks, the one who should lose her head is me, and Kita can come back at this moment, that woman may really be in a safe place as he said, so my persistence here It doesn't make any sense. But if he is allowed to yell below and take the guards in the castle out to support the woman, doing so may cause some unexpected changes, which are not what he wants to see, and the promises made by those people to him will be completely unfulfilled up.

When Kerry was struggling, it took only a while for several other captains of the guards in the castle to climb to the top of the castle wall. The sound of Kita's yelling just now had spread to the castle and was heard by many people.

"Kerry, what's going on here?" Perif, who had a thick brown hair and beard, was the first to rush into the tower, "Why did Kita shout outside, why didn't he let him in! "

Kerry forced a smile, "According to the regulations in the castle, no one is allowed to enter and leave Sea Blue Castle at night without Madam's order, so..."

Perif ignored Kerry, but on the tower, he yelled at the people below, "Kita, you bastard, madam, why are you alone?"

As soon as Kita, who was yelling by the moat, heard the sound, he immediately knew that his yelling just now had finally worked. Peter was right, those people couldn't bribe everyone in the castle.

"Perif, Madam encountered danger when she came back tonight. Someone wanted to harm Madam. Madam asked me to come to Sea Blue Castle with guards to meet her!" Kita called out louder.

It was not only Perif who heard Kita's words, but also Alexander, Ji Gang and Adilina who rushed to the castle tower just after hearing the news.

Alexander is in his fifties, the oldest among several people. He is a bit fat and has a bare head. He looks more like a profiteer than a captain of a guard. Kioka is a young man in his twenties with a black head Blonde hair, but with a sleek hairstyle, handsome looks, a bit of a playboy temperament, with a long sword hanging around his waist, Adilina is a woman, a left eye and eyebrow With strange flame-like tattoos on her face, fiery red hair, and a standard bag on her back, she was a woman of barbarian blood.

It only took a few seconds for the captains of the guards who rushed over to know what happened. Kerry was explaining to several people why he didn't lower the drawbridge and let Kita in.

Alexander narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Kerry, "Kerry is right, but Madam also said that if she is not in the castle, the five of us can vote together to decide on emergencies, tonight's The matter is an emergency, we have a vote!"

"I agree to go out of the city and lead the castle guards to meet Madam!" Perif was the first to say loudly.

"I agree too!" Adilina, who has barbarian blood, also said without hesitation.

"Agreed!" Ji Gang smiled, "I have long hoped that Madam would give me a chance to be a hero!"

"I agree too!" Alexander also expressed his position.

In the end, only Kerry was left among the five. Kerry hesitated for a moment, and saw Perif's hand approaching the hilt of his sword, and Adilina raised her eyebrows dangerously.

"Since everyone agrees, I agree too!" Kerry said quickly.

...

Kita only waited by the river for a while, then saw the suspension bridge lowered, the main gate of the castle opened, and the guard captains of the five castles, including Perif, led a large number of castle guards and rushed out of the castle quickly with torches on. When they came out, many of those guards were actually female warriors in light armor led by Adilina.

"Kita, where is Madam, how is she now?" Perif who rushed over was the first to speak.

"Ma'am is fine now, and is in a safe place, Adilina, Ma'am, let your people take over the defense of the castle's gate tower from now on!"

"Yes!" Adilina didn't question the information that Kita sent, she just gave Kita a hard look, "What nonsense were you talking down there just now, I'll settle the score with you later!"

Adilina said a few words to the female warriors behind her, and all the female warriors returned to the castle and quickly took over the defense of the gate tower of the outer fortress. The order passed by Kita caught everyone by surprise. Alexander, on the other hand, gave Kerry a meaningful look. At this moment, Kerry hadn't said a word, his face had turned ugly, and he was even a little panicked.

"Do you need to dispatch the convoy?" Kioka asked.

"No, everyone come with me!" Kita glanced at Kerry, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said lightly, "Kerry also come with me!"

Kerry smiled unnaturally, and leaned in front of Kita in a slightly humble way, "I was just following the rules of Seablue Castle, I hope you don't take offense!"

Kita ignored him, turned around and left, and everyone hurriedly followed with torches...

...

Olina was wearing a fox fur cloak, and Zhang Tie was waiting under a pine tree by the side of the road. When they saw people coming out of the castle, holding a torch and forming a line to quickly approach the two people's location, Zhang Tie Tie knew that this time, he won the bet. Faced with this situation, he would rather let others laugh at him as unnecessary, than risk his own life to gamble on the character of those people he doesn't know.

Zhang Tie felt that the woman beside him breathed a sigh of relief.

"If Kita can't come back, what will you do?" Olinna, who had been staring at the distance, suddenly asked Zhang Tie when she saw the swaying flames approaching the place where the two of them were, "You know, That kind of possibility exists, they may not be able to buy off all the people who are loyal to me in the castle, but it only takes a small conspiracy and a bottle of poison, and it is also possible that there will be no more people who are loyal to me in the castle. At that time, I will be really alone and helpless, and your situation will be even more dangerous, I want to know, will you leave me alone at that time?"

This question stunned Zhang Tie for a moment. Zhang Tie rubbed his face and was about to speak when Olina, who was looking at him very seriously, added, "I want to hear the truth!"

"The truth?" Zhang Tie was silent for a moment. Whenever a woman asked him to tell the truth, even in bed, he would not tell lies. It is his principle to be a man not to lie to women. If you really can't fight against those who want to plot against you, I will take you away, and at worst leave St. Hena Island!"

Zhang Tie's answer made the woman's eyes flash with brilliance, she seemed to be very curious, and then she asked, "Why, aren't you afraid that I will cause you trouble? At that time, I might have lost everything. I can't give you any reward!"

This question made Zhang Tie slightly embarrassed. Even if he wanted to tell the truth, he didn't know what to say or how to say it, because to tell the truth, it was the most secret growth story in the heart of a miserable green boy.

Fortunately, Olina didn't get to the bottom of this question. When she saw Kita running over with someone, the woman took a look at Zhang Tie's embarrassed look, and the smile on her face was fleeting. The majesty and indifference were restored again.

...

A few hundred meters away from the castle, people who came out of Seablue Castle saw Olina, and of course, Zhang Tie. Everyone was a little surprised, and everyone hurriedly greeted Olina...

When seeing Olina, except for the accident, the expressions of several guard captains suddenly relaxed. Only Kerry's face suddenly turned pale, and his body trembled slightly. Mrs. Olina Obviously already outside the castle, it is only a short distance away from the castle, why not go there, but call everyone over, does this woman already know...

At this time, not only Kerry thought of this question, but also the guard captains next to him.

Kita came to Olina's side, and whispered something in Olina's ear, Olina's eyes were fixed on Kerry, and she said lightly, "Kerry, what happened just now Kita has already told me, I didn't expect you to be so dedicated, very good, very good!"

"Should, should..." Kerry said dryly while swallowing hard.

"Ma'am, I heard from Kita that someone wants to harm you tonight? By the way, where are the other guards?" Perif stepped forward and asked loudly.

"Let's go back to Seablue Castle to discuss this matter first!"

"Ma'am, who is this person? I sense danger from him!" Adilina never left Zhang Tie's eyes after she arrived. It made people feel a great danger. The hair on Adilina's neck, who had the most keen sense of danger, stood on end when she saw Zhang Tie. This was the man Adilina met in the forest. It's the feeling that only the most dangerous beasts have.

Adilina's words made everyone focus on Zhang Tie.

"This is Peter. From now on, he will be my personal bodyguard. All the treatment and rights in Hailanbao are the same as Kita's." Olina didn't explain Zhang Tie's background too much, but only stated her own decision , the majesty of the superior was undoubtedly revealed, and then she waved her hand, "Let's go back to Sea Blue Castle first!"

Surrounded and protected by everyone, Olina returned to Seablue Castle, and Zhang Tie entered the castle with everyone. Ji Gang's young captain of the guard had a faint repulsion to him, just repulsion, not hostility, while Kita quietly pointed to Zhang Tie at the Kerry who had just spoken, and nodded solemnly, Zhang Tie Iron will understand...

Zhang Tie was very curious about how this woman, Olina, would deal with the current situation.

...

The meeting hall of Seablue Castle is luxurious and magnificent. After returning to Seablue Castle, the five captains of the guards in the castle were called here by Olina.

In the meeting hall, Olina sat on the main seat in the hall, several guard captains stood in front of her, Zhang Tie, as Olina's personal bodyguard, stood behind the woman on the left hand side, and Kita was in front of her. He disappeared as soon as he returned to the castle, not knowing what to do.

Olina told everyone how she was assassinated tonight in a very calm tone. After hearing the story, the captains of the guards were all stunned. Olina did not give a few people a chance to ask questions at all, and issued a series of orders... (to be continued, this text is provided by the dawn update group x-on:87453198.
