Dane said: "We need to enter White Wolf Castle as soon as possible."
Chapple replied: "Well, I understand. But before that, we have to get in touch with Costa in White Wolf Castle. He is the supreme commander of General Morno's troops left in the castle."
"It should." Dane said.
After all, they are now a team of more than 1,000 people. If they drive directly to the White Wolf Castle, Costa will definitely get nervous, which may cause unnecessary misunderstandings. It is necessary to notify in advance.
Soon, Chapple wrote a letter and sent a whole squad of white wolf soldiers with familiar faces into the city as messengers. The three flags of the fort continued to walk towards the White Wolf Fort at a relatively slow speed.
On the second day, that is, on February 9th, the entire army marched several kilometers, and the outline of the city of White Wolf Fort was already in sight.
The messengers sent earlier returned quickly, but only one person returned. With a frightened expression, he handed a letter written by Costa himself to Dane and Chapple.
After reading the letter, Chapple cursed angrily, and Dane also had a serious expression.
Costa refused their request to enter the city. What's even more shameful is that, apart from the soldier who was sent back to deliver the letter, he also detained all the messenger team he sent.
This is already quite a serious act of provocation, but it is more than that. His reply letter, written extremely arrogantly and disrespectfully, is full of a provocative flavor:
…
"Brother Chappelle."
"I have read your letter. We are very unbelievable about what you said. The news of General Morneau's death came too suddenly. It is unbelievable. There is no more news from the front line. Come on, I can't believe that the general has died in battle just because of your one-sided words."
"Also, even if what you said is true, it would be even more incredible to make Dane the new White Wolf General. If the general dies in battle, even if we want to choose a new leader, it is our responsibility to choose a new leader." The result of the discussions among the old men of White Wolf Castle. I know Dane, but what is he? A mercenary leader, why can he be the new Lord of White Wolf Castle? Let him bring more than a thousand backgrounds It is even more impossible for unknown soldiers to enter the White Wolf Castle with such a swagger. I don't know what is in your head that allows you to write such a letter and propose such a Require."
"I will interrogate the soldiers who sent the order to confirm how true the news is. Even if it is true, it is absolutely impossible for Dane to become the new lord. If you really want to bring the army into White Wolf Castle, then Let's see if your swords are sharper or the walls of White Wolf Castle are stronger. If you two are brave enough, you can go into the city alone, and we can have a good exchange on how the general died, and how did Dane die? What is required to become the new leader of White Wolf Castle."
"Colonel Costa, commander of the third regiment of the White Wolf Legion."
…
A letter of several hundred words without a word of kindness made Chapple very angry, especially the sentence 'I don't know what's in your head', which was almost equivalent to pointing at his nose and cursing up.
"This damned Costa! He was a squadron leader under Lao Tzu three years ago, how dare he talk to me like that today?!"
Chapple was full of resentment, but in contrast, Dane, who was also said to 'don't know anything' in the letter, was calmer.
This kind of trash talk is too much in Schindler. When he was in the mercenary circle, for provocation, for venting, or simply because of rudeness, Dane did not know how many times he said or heard similar words. up. At the point where he is an old fritter, he certainly won't lose his mental balance just because he is scolded a few times-if that is the case, he is really following his wishes.
Dane felt that Costa's letter was written so unceremoniously, almost to the point of cursing, that it was probably intentional and extremely purposeful.
The reason why he had such a guess was based on an intuition and the meaning of Costana's last sentence that he was very concerned about.
He wanted Dane and Chappelle to go into town alone.
"This Costa, does he want to establish himself as king?" Dane said with a sneer.
Chapple froze for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "It's not impossible... This guy's ambitions have always been relatively high."
"I guess that's for sure. When the news of Morneau's death came, he said he couldn't be sure of the accuracy of the news. This is complete nonsense. Chapple, you don't need to say much about your prestige in White Wolf Castle. You wrote it yourself The letter, the message sent by the soldiers who have lived in White Wolf Fort for a long time, the credibility is beyond doubt. He blocked us from bringing the army into the city, isn't that obviously having his own little thoughts?"
After listening to what Dane said, Chapple finally understood. He said: "Then the two of us can't enter the city alone as he said, the danger is too great."
But Dane had a different idea: "No, the two of us have to go to town."
Chapple was a little surprised: "Isn't that suicide?"
Indeed, as Chapple said, it is easy to enter the city alone, but it is difficult to get out. If Costa really has the idea of self-reliance as Dane guessed, Chapple, the most prestigious person in White Wolf Castle after Morneau's death, and Dane, who he supported, must definitely removed. They were afraid that they would have to be imprisoned or even killed shortly after entering the city.
Dane shook his head and said: "The danger is great, but we have no choice. If we want to control the White Wolf Fort, we must enter the city and meet the soldiers and officers. It is impossible for us to fight against the soldiers of the White Wolf Fort. Meet each other—presumably you don’t want to do this, and I don’t want to. Since we can’t use war methods and don’t want to venture into the city, how can we become the new owners of White Wolf Castle? As for Costa... well, he wants mine Life? See if he has the ability to take it away!"
"Okay! Let's go! I also want to cut that guy's head open to see what kind of thoughts come out of it!"
…
On the evening of February 9th, Dane and Chapple arrived under the hanging door of White Wolf Castle as promised with five or six guards.
With a creaking sound, the wooden hanging door was lowered and placed on the moat ditch. The two men with five or six guards walked into the fort through the hanging door without fear.
Inside the city gate, groups of white wolf soldiers, fully armed, lined up in two groups. Dane walked in front, and Chapple was a little behind him. The two completely ignored the shining spears and swords twice, and walked forward step by step. At the forefront of the army, Costa, who was riding on a white wolf, looked at the two with a heavy expression.
"You really dare to come..." Costa whispered in a voice that only he could hear. At the same time, he cast a glance at the two henchmen on the left and right.
This is an arrangement that has been prepared long ago.
The two people walking among the swords and axes suddenly heard a commotion from the surrounding area, and some vague voices sounded:
"General Morno is dead, they are murderers!"
"murderer!"
"They killed the general!?"
…
Morno, who built the White Wolf Fort with one hand, has an undoubted position in the hearts of all the soldiers in this fortress. The news of his death came too suddenly, and he had never seen the dead body. doubt. Now, this restless voice is even more provocative and deceptive. The soldiers looked at Dane and Chapple with different eyes, and at the same time, their swords began to shake.
The situation has become extremely dangerous in an instant!
If the soldiers were really fanned up, and hundreds of people present were bewitched to riot at the same time, and they attacked the two who were only protected by five or six guards, with the hanging door behind them lowered, they would It is extremely difficult to have a chance to survive, and it will be chopped into a meat sauce.
At the critical moment, Chapple took two steps forward, took a deep breath, and shouted with almost all his strength: "I am Chapple! The deputy commander of White Wolf Castle! Your commander! Who is bewitching? Stand up and confront me?!"
The roar of the high-ranking warriors shook the sky. Chapple exhausted all his strength, and the roar almost made the few white wolf soldiers who were about to move the nearest to him unable to stand still. They fell to the ground under the roar, with blood oozing from their ears.
With a roar, the audience fell silent. The majestic momentum, coupled with the prestige brought by Chapple's years of sitting in the White Wolf Fort, calmed down all the commotion in an instant.
While Chapple roared, Dane continued to walk slowly in the queue at a steady pace without any change in his complexion. His face was calm, his eyes were firm, and he was not affected in any way.
Chapple calmed down his chest, returned to Dane's back, and stood beside him in a protective manner, expressing his meaning very clearly.
Surrounded by swords, the two walked silently and firmly, but a quiet force spread silently to the hearts of all the people around them who were watching them. Especially Dane who was walking in front, with his head held high, his strides were steady, and his own aura formed from his whole body.
Costa, who was at the front of the queue, had a slightly ugly expression on his face. He looked at Dane and Chapple who were walking towards him, feeling a little embarrassed. A confidant next to him made a throat-cutting gesture to him, meaning whether he should simply let the hands hidden among the soldiers jump out and shoot at Dane and Chapple.
Costa hesitated a little, and finally shook his head slightly, deciding not to do it. The plan to incite the soldiers failed, and now if a small group of people suddenly jumped out to make a move, it would be difficult to bring all the soldiers together. After all, Chapple's status is unusual, not an outsider, and a sudden attack may be counterproductive.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Dane and Chapple who had walked not far in front of him, only to find that Dane's eyes had been fixed on him. In a panic, he didn't dare to meet Dane's eyes.
The white wolf under his crotch seemed to feel the fear in his master's heart, whimpered, and took two steps back.
Everyone present saw this scene. Costa's aura, which was already very weak under Chapple's roar and Dane's calm demeanor, completely collapsed in an instant.
Costa realized that his emotions were wrong, and at the same time noticed the strange eyes of the surrounding soldiers looking at him.
Now, he should be the one who has the upper hand. All the soldiers beside him are his soldiers, and Dane and Chapple only have six guards. Why should he be afraid of Dane
He took a deep breath in his heart, feeling somewhat calmer. Looking at Dane and Chapple who had come close, he patted the wolf, and said according to what he had already thought about: "I want to know, how did General Morneau die? Are you among them?" What kind of role did you play?"
It was obviously a questioning tone, but the voice from his throat was a bit hoarse, so that the question was powerless.
Chapple's face was slightly mocking, but he didn't speak, but followed closely behind Dane. And Dane continued to walk forward, and at the same time said to Costa who was weakly questioning: "General Morno died heroically in the battle against the orc army. He is worthy of the name of a hero, and I am the general. The most solid comrade-in-arms and partner from beginning to end!"
Compared with Costa's hoarse voice, his answer was much more powerful!
Costa opened his mouth, wanting to continue to ask some sinister questions, but Dane didn't give him this chance.
Just hearing Dane's voice suddenly raised a level: "I am Dane, General Morno's friend before his death, Schindler's Ghost Saber, the lord of Comilla Island, and fought side by side with the soldiers of White Wolf Castle on the battlefield. At the last moment of the general's heroic sacrifice, he is still fighting on the same battlefield!"
A word is stronger than a word, and a word is stronger than a word! Until the last sentence, it is no different from a battle cry!
A frightening aura soared into the sky. Although the long knife was still in the sheath, his whole body was as strong and sharp as a giant blade rising into the sky at this moment!
Under the awe-inspiring momentum, Costa felt as if a tiger was coming towards him. He was still able to calm his mind, but the wolf under his crotch seemed to have met the ruler, his limbs went limp, and he knelt down on the ground!
Seeing that Dane continued to walk towards him with a frightening gaze, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour, and the mount under his crotch was so weak, his mind panicked instantly.
"Block, block, block him, don't let him come!" His voice trembled a little.
Dane saw more than a dozen soldiers around him rushing to protect him and Costa, so he slowed down, and he didn't intend to violently kill people on the spot.
Stopping in front of the soldiers who were looking at him with fear, Dane looked at Costa who had just come down from the back of the warg behind the guards, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he turned around and looked To all the soldiers of White Wolf Fort in front of him, it was as if the master was declaring: "I will inherit the will of General Morno, and I will continue to fight side by side with all the soldiers of White Wolf Fort with my sword and my life. , we will face the same challenges and enemies..."
Having said that, he pulled out the blood of the earth from behind, raised one hand high to the sky, and let out a battle cry with all his strength. Chapple and the other soldiers who came with Dane also raised their weapons and began to roar. Then, some of Chapple's subordinates who were infected by Dane and respected Chapple on weekdays, or even used to be Chapple's subordinates, also raised their weapons together, and then, all the white wolves gathered at the gate of the city The soldiers also shouted along with the others.
Seeing such a scene, Dane let go of his hanging heart. He enjoys being stared at eagerly by everyone, enjoys the soldiers shouting excitedly because of him, and also enjoys the glory represented by this fort that shines brightly in the evening sun.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Costa leaving in a panic under the protection of a group of soldiers, with a disdainful sneer on the corner of his mouth. Now, it's not time to deal with him, but his life in White Wolf Castle is a hidden danger.
Dane will not let Costa go, he promises to prevent that guy from seeing the sun tomorrow.
