Black Iron Crown

Chapter 22: Besieged castle

   "So, your name?"

   Logan asked the jailer to move over a chair, sit on it, and asked in a kind tone.

   "Bell! Sir, my name is Bell!"

   Bell replied in a trembling voice. Obviously, he hadn't recovered from the fear just now.

   "Where are you from? Who do you serve? What are the reasons for being here? If I find you lying, the punishment just now will be imposed on you!"

   Logan's complexion remained unchanged, still in that peaceful appearance, but what he said made Bell shudder and tremble.

   "Please don't do that!" Bell begged.

   "Then tell the truth and don't hide anything!" Logan was expressionless.

"I'm from Bell from Goerburg to work for the Baron Lobéan Gwen of Goerburg. He wants me to come here to find a chance to figure out the position of the gate switch, and he wants me to be quiet when they attack the city. Open the gate and let them in!"

   "Are you sure you haven't lied?" Logan stared at Bell's eyes firmly and put pressure on him. People usually have some abnormalities when lying, and he, as the spy leader, naturally knows this well.

   "Yes, my lord, I swear to the Father that I didn't lie, everything is true!" Bell shouted.

   Logan carefully observed Bell's expression and expression when he spoke, and found that he was in a normal situation.

   "Very well, you won my trust! Now you don't have to worry about being punished!" Logan finished speaking, and hurriedly left the dungeon.

He knew that if this matter was really true, Lord Baron must be notified as soon as possible. At this time, there were less than ten guards and more than a dozen freemen acting as guards in Fort Merand, and the defense force was extremely weak. If a baron goes all out to attack, it will be difficult to defend even with the help of a strong castle.

"Barron! Get on your horse and give this letter to Lord Baron immediately! Must be as soon as possible! Lord Baron must be informed of this news tonight!" Logan said, and immediately went to Reiner’s mother, Mrs. Merland. When the lord is not at home, the wife of the lord is usually in charge of the domain, and Lena is still unmarried, and it is Lena's mother who can be the master.

   "Dear Madam!" Logan knocked on the door.

   After obtaining permission, he entered Mrs. Moreland's room.

   "Madam, there is an urgent matter I must report to you!"

   "What happened? Dear Mr. Logan?" Mrs. Moreland asked. He knew that this was the spy leader of his son. He must have something important to come here.

"It's such a lady, you know that I caught an unidentified person on the wall today. After my interrogation, he confessed to his actions. He was a spy for the neighboring Baron Goerburg south of Merlandburg. He wants to open the gate of the city and let them in while the Baron Goerborg is attacking our castle!"

"A crisis has appeared before our eyes! Lord Baron led an army to resist the invasion of the Clades in the north, and the enemy does not know when it will come to our territory. We have to organize a close defense! Because I don't I know if there are other spies lurking in our castle! Madam, I am here hoping to get your cooperation and order the guards to be vigilant!"

Mrs. Moreland nodded after listening. As the wife of the former baroness, she was often responsible for many things. After listening to Logan, she also attached great importance to this matter and responded: "Good Mr. Logan, I will follow What is your suggestion to order the guards to be more vigilant, and I also hope that you can control the situation in the castle as much as possible, and don't give others a chance!"

Barron was a rebel in the castle. His father sent him to Reiner’s castle at a high price, hoping that one day he could earn a salary on the battlefield and become a knight, even if it’s just a landless man. The knight is also good.

   For ordinary people in this era, even if they become a knight with the lowest rank, it is quite difficult. Not to mention it is similar to Shengxian, but it will definitely far exceed ordinary civilians.

   Numerous free democracies have sold property to nobles or knights, hoping to become a real knight one day.

He rode on the horse and ran swiftly, the howling cold wind pierced his thick cotton-padded coat and pierced his bone marrow. Although it was extremely cold, he still did not slow down. In his arms, although he didn't know what was written in it, he knew that it must be something of utmost importance.

  If it can be delivered to Lena in time, maybe he can get some rewards.

   The night in the winter is even darker, the moon in the sky is completely devoid of any light, and the torch in his hand is flickering and dimming because of the speed of the horse.

   At the same time, at the junction of Goerborg and Molandborg, there is a short fire snake advancing towards Molandborg. This is the army led by the baron of Goerburg, Lobeian, who is preparing to attack Molandburg.

This team has about three hundred people. In order to organize this team, Baron Lobéan mobilized all the adult men in the territory who can go to the battlefield. Except for his 70 regular troops and 10 knights, the others are all free people. The formation of light infantry or serf signs.

   This war is confidential, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Therefore Viscount Lobeian does not allow merchants and women accompanying the army to follow him, except for some necessary supplies, without any burden to follow the army.

   "Did you find anything abnormal?" On the wall of Fort Moreland, Logan was wearing a simple leather armor and carrying a long sword, and asked the guards who guarded the wall.

   "There is nothing unusual, sir, we haven't noticed anything!" the freedman armed guard replied.

   "Very well, we must be vigilant! It is very possible that someone will attack us!" Before Logan's words were finished, a ray of fire appeared in the dark and silent snow.

   "What is that! God!" The guard beside him opened his mouth wide and exclaimed. He didn't expect such an unexpected situation to happen.

   "Damn it!" Logan hammered the battlements and whispered: "These guys who deserve to go to hell! They really came!"

   "Blow the trumpet right away!" Logan ordered to the guards.

   A soldier immediately took out the bronze horn from the control room of the city gate, took a deep breath of cold air, and puffed his cheeks to blew the bronze horn that represents danger.

   A high-pitched and sharp voice sounded, and the soldiers guarding the arrow tower next to it also blew the bronze horn equipped with the arrow tower. The sound of the metal horn circled and echoed over the castle, making those who heard the sound panic.

   Ruoyoruowu's copper trumpet spread to the surroundings and was heard by the Goalborg army not far from the castle.

Baron Robert frowned. He knew he had been spotted, but then he relaxed his frowning brows. Even if they were spotted now, it would be fine. Anyway, they will be spotted by the defenders on the wall after a while, the castle. The guards here are very weak, and he knows this very well.

   So, it doesn't matter whether it is discovered or not.
