Chapter 7: Breaking the Deadlock


According to Zhang Tie's instructions, the car in which the three people were sitting did not drive over, but turned off the lights and stopped, Zhang Tie stayed behind to protect Olena, 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, and that moat was also the last warning to trespassers, in the castle's defense system, anyone who crossed the moat without permission would have the right to attack, because you had crossed the castle's defenses and entered someone else's private territory.

Kita, who came to the edge of the moat, looked up at the several steam ballistae on the high city wall on the other side of the river, and his heart was slightly cold, although it was late at night, but the lights on the city wall could still let Kita see clearly the muzzles of the steam ballistae shining with a cold light, and they were intentionally or unintentionally facing the drawbridge under the castle.

And even the cannon jacket of a honeycomb ballista with a scattering strike that is not usually used much has been lifted, and the angle of the muzzle, slightly drooping, is also facing the castle.

In Kita's memory, on weekdays, the muzzles of those steam ballistas were flat, and today, under Zhang Tie's reminder, he carefully observed these details that he didn't care much about on weekdays, and sure enough, he felt the murderous aura on the castle floor.

"I'm Lady Olenna's chief guard, Kita, lower the drawbridge," Kita, who took a deep breath, stood on the edge of the moat and shouted at the castle with all her strength.

In the old days, as soon as the people on the castle saw Lady Olena's convoy coming, the drawbridge would be lowered automatically.

In the same way, Kita shouted twice below, and at first there was no movement above the castle, and after an interval of more than ten seconds, a somewhat arrogant and lazy voice sounded above the castle tower.

"Who's screaming down there, this is La Mercafe, get out of here, or you'll be rude" This voice Kita was unfamiliar with, and even as Lady Olenna's chief guard, Kita could not have known the voices of everyone in the castle's merchant guards.

But as soon as this voice spoke, Kita knew that there was really a cat on the castle tower, and he was so loud that many people on the castle tower should have heard it, according to common sense, it should be a captain of the guards who was on duty on the castle tonight, and those captains of the guards were 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, Kioka, Adilina, who are you up there tonight, answer me" Kita shouted angrily below, "You bastards, who are you up there, come out to speak, can't you even hear my voice" "Get out of here, call here again, we're going to shoot arrows" The same voice appeared again, but this time, the voice was obviously much harsh, with a feeling of lust and guilt.

"I'm Kita, Lady Olina's chief of guard, many of the brothers in the castle should know me, who dares to shoot me here, Madame comes back and doesn't peel his Piperif, Kerry, Alexander, Kika, Adilina, who is on top, comes out and talks to me" Kita continued to shout loudly below the castle, and there was already some commotion above the castle walls and towers.

Finally, a familiar voice from Kita appeared above.

"Who's down there" "Kerry, I'm Kita, drop the drawbridge" "Kita, aren't you with Madame, why are you alone now, Madame?"

"Madame is in a safe place, someone wants to be unfavorable to Madame, she asked me to come back first, let you bring the guards in the castle to pick her up" Hearing Kita's words, on the tower of the castle, the face of a man in his forties with a beautiful mustache and a slightly blue face changed, and several of his cronies and guards stood beside him, all looking at him with a little bewilderment.

The current situation was completely unexpected by everyone, and their arrangement was suddenly wasted.

The man in his forties gritted his teeth and shouted outside, "The rules of La Merburg, after nightfall, you are not allowed to open the city gate without Madame's order to let people in, and the mobilization of troops in the castle requires Madame's personal order, Kita, what you said is your words, I didn't see Madame's order, even if we are very familiar, I can't break the rules in the castle for you, unless I see Madame coming in person, I won't open the city gate for you, let alone let you transfer the troops in the castle."

"Perif, you bastard, if you don't come out quickly, you owe Lao Tzu more than two hundred gold coins, tomorrow Lao Tzu will ask you to pay it back, and Alexander, Madame is in need of manpower now, are you still fucking sleeping, Ji Gang, you bastard, in addition to molesting women, can you fucking be used for a while, Adilina, if you don't come out again, Lao Tzu will be a widow after hanging you" The sound of Kita outside the castle grew louder and louder, ignoring Kerry, but below, across a moat, shouting the names of several other captains of the guards in the castle, shouting and swearing.

The faces of several people in the tower were completely unsightly.

"Captain Kerry, do you want him to shut up, at this time, just pull the trigger" One of the guards beside Kerry quietly took a step closer and whispered.

"Shut up, do you want me to bury him" Kerry scolded in a low voice, but he was also a little entangled in his heart, he didn't know what was going on outside, if he killed Kita in this situation, once a woman had nothing to do, when the day dawned, it would be him who should lose his head, and Kita could come back at this moment, that woman might really be in a safe place as he said, so his insistence here would be meaningless.

But if he was allowed to shout from below, and take the guards of the castle out to support the woman, in doing so, there might be some unexpected variables, and it was not what he wanted to see, and the promises made to him by those people would be completely unkept.

When Kerry was struggling, it was only a moment before several other captains of the castle's guards had climbed the castle walls, and the sound of Kita shouting below had reached the castle and been heard by many people.

"Kerry, what's going on" Perleaf, with thick brown hair and beard, was the first to storm the tower, "Why is Kita yelling outside, why don't you let him in" Kerry forced a smile, "According to the rules in the castle, no one is allowed to enter or leave La Mer Castle after nightfall without the orders of the lady, so" Perif ignored Kerry, but was right on the tower and yelled at the bottom, "Kita, you bastard, ma'am, why are you alone" As soon as Kita, who was shouting by the moat, heard this voice, she immediately knew that her yelling had finally worked, and that Peter was right, that those people could not buy everyone in the castle.

"Perryph, Madame is in danger when she comes back tonight, and someone wants to do her badly, Madame has asked me to come to La Mercastle with a guard to meet her," called Kita in a louder voice.

It was not only Perif who heard Kita's words, but Alexander, Kioka and Adilina, who had just heard the movement and rushed to the castle tower.

Alexander was in his fifties, the oldest of the men, a little fat, with a bare head, more like a profiteer than a captain of the guard, Kioka was a young man in his twenties, with blonde hair, but with a smooth hairstyle, handsome, a bit of a playboy temperament, with a long sword hanging from her waist, and Adlina was a woman, with a strange tattoo like a flame on the left corner of the eye and eyebrows, with fiery red hair, and a sac on her back, a woman of barbarian blood.

It only took a few seconds for the captains of the guards who rushed over to know what was going on.

Kerry was explaining to several people why he didn't lower the drawbridge and let Kita in.

Alexander squinted his eyes slightly and glanced at Kerry, "What Kerry said makes sense, but Madame also said that if she is not in the castle, if she encounters an emergency, it can be decided by the five of us together, and tonight's incident is an emergency, and we will vote on it."

"I agree to go out of the city and lead the castle guard to meet Madame," Perif was the first to say aloud.

"I agree," Adilina, who had barbarian blood, opened her mouth without hesitation.

"Agreed" Ji Oka smiled, "I have long hoped that Madame would give me the opportunity to save the beauty of the hero" "I agree," Alexander agreed.

Only Kerry was left of the five, and Kerry only hesitated for a moment before he saw Perryf's hand close to the hilt of his sword, and Adilina's eyebrows raised dangerously.

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

Kita only waited by the river for a while, then he saw the drawbridge lowered, the main entrance of the castle opened, and Perif and the other five castle captains rushed out of the castle with a large number of castle guards, with torches, and among those guards, many of them were actually led by Adilina in light armor.

"Kita, ma'am, how is she now," Perif was the first to speak.

"Madame is fine now, in a safe place, Adilina, Madame let your men take over the defense of the gate tower of the castle outer fortress from now on" "Yes" Adilina didn't question the message conveyed by Kita, she just glared at Kita fiercely, "What nonsense did you just say down there, I'll settle accounts with you later" Adilina said a few words to the female warriors behind her, all the female warriors returned to the castle, and quickly took over the defense of the gate tower of the castle outside the castle, the order passed by Kita surprised everyone slightly, and Alexander glanced at Kerry meaningfully, at this moment, Kerry was already speechless, his face was already ugly, and even a little panicked.

"Do you need to send a convoy?"

asked Kioka.

"No, let's come with me" Kita glanced at Kerry, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said lightly, "Kerry will come along" Kerry smiled a little unnaturally, and leaned in front of Kita with a slight humility, "I was just enforcing the rules of La Mercastle, I hope you don't be embarrassed" Kita ignored him, turned and left, everyone with torches and hurriedly followed Olena wore a fox fur cloak, and Zhang Tie was waiting under a pine tree on the side of the road, and when she saw the fish in the castle with a torch lined up and quickly approached the location of the two people, Zhang Tie knew that this time, he won the bet, and in the face of this situation, he would rather let others laugh at him in the end than gamble on the character of those he didn't know.

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

"What will you do if Kita can't come back" Seeing that the flickering fire was about to approach the location of the two people, Olena, who had been staring at the distance, suddenly asked Zhang Tie, "You know, that kind of thing may exist, they may not be able to buy all the people loyal to me in the castle, but they only need a small conspiracy and a bottle of poison, and it is also possible that there will be no more people loyal to me in the castle, at that time, I will really be isolated, and your situation will be even more dangerous, I want to know, Will you leave me alone by then?"

This question made Zhang Tie stunned for a moment, Zhang Tie rubbed his face, and was about to speak, when Olina, who was looking at him very seriously at this time, added, "I want to hear the truth" "Tell the truth" Zhang Tie was silent for a while, no matter when, even if it is in bed, when a woman asks him to tell the truth, he will not tell lies, not to lie to women, it is his principle of life, "In that case, if I really can't fight against those who want to calculate you, I will run away with you, and it's a big deal to leave St.

Hena Island" Zhang Tie's answer made a flash of brilliance flash in the woman's eyes, and she seemed to be very curious, and then asked, "Why, aren't you afraid that I will cause you trouble, at that time, I may have lost everything, and I can no longer give you any reward?"

This question suddenly made Zhang Tie a little embarrassed, even if he wanted to tell the truth, he didn't know how to say it or how to open his mouth, because to tell the truth, it was completely the most secret growth story in the heart of a miserable green boy.

Fortunately, Olena did not get to the bottom of this question, and when she saw Kita running over with someone, the woman glanced at Zhang Tie's embarrassed appearance, a smile on her face flashed, and then she regained her majesty and indifference.

A few hundred meters away from the castle, the people who came out of La Mer Castle saw Olena and, of course, Zhang Tie, everyone was a little surprised, and everyone hurriedly greeted Olena When he saw Olena, except for the accident, the faces of several escort captains suddenly relaxed, only Kerry's face turned white all of a sudden, and his body trembled slightly, Mrs.

Olena had obviously arrived outside the castle, just a stone's throw away from the castle, why didn't she go over, but called everyone over, did this woman already know At this time, not only Kerry thought of this problem, but even several captains of the guard next to him also thought of it.

Kita came to Olena's side and whispered something in Olena's ear, Olenna's eyes immediately fixed on Kerry, and said lightly, "Kerry, Kita has already told me what happened just now, I didn't expect you to be so dedicated, very good, very good" "Yes, yes," Kerry said dryly, swallowing hard.

"Ma'am, I heard Kita say that I want someone to be against you tonight, right, what about the other guards," Perif asked loudly as he stepped forward.

"Let's go back to La Mercastle first."

"Madam, who is this person, I feel danger in him" Adilina's eyes never left Zhang Tie after she came, this young and delicate man seems to be harmless to humans and animals, but I don't know why, but it makes people feel a huge danger, at the first glance of Zhang Tie, the cold hair on the neck of Adilina, who has the most acute sense of dangerous things, stands up, this is the feeling that Adlina has when she encounters the most dangerous beast in the forest.

Adilina's words made everyone's eyes focus on Zhang Tie at once.

"This is Peter, from now on, he will be my personal bodyguard, and all the treatment and power in La Merburg will be the same as Kita."

Olena didn't explain much about Zhang Tie's origin, just said her decision, and the majesty of the superior was undoubtedly revealed, and then, she waved her hand, "Let's go back to La Merborough first" Surrounded and protected by everyone, Olena returned to La Mercaus, Zhang Tie also followed everyone, into the castle, along the way, Zhang Tie found that Adilina was the most wary of himself, and the young guard captain named Ji Gang was a little repulsive to himself, just rejection, not hostility, Kita quietly pointed to Zhang Tie and pointed to the Kerry who had just spoken, nodded solemnly, Zhang Tie understood Zhang Tie was very curious about how the woman Olena would deal with the current situation.

The council hall of La Mercastle was lavish and luxurious, and upon returning to La Mercastle, the five captains of the castle's guards were summoned by Olenna.

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

Olena told everyone in a very calm tone about her assassination tonight, and after listening to it, the captains of the guards froze for a moment.

Olena didn't give a few people a chance to ask questions at all, and issued a bunch of orders in a row:
