Chapter 208: Catch them all

Views:

It was getting late and night was falling.

Costa, who returned to his residence in a state of embarrassment, had dissipated the fear that had arisen in his heart when he faced Dane earlier, and was replaced by an angry emotion.

He looked at the white wolf who had followed him for many years, and an unknown fire suddenly arose in his heart. He drew a battle knife from his waist, and stabbed the white wolf's neck without warning.

While stabbing, he also cursed: "You bastard, you made me look ugly in front of so many people, what use is there for you!?"

"Colonel, colonel! You are..." How could the people around Zhou expect such a scene to happen? It was too late to stop one by one.

In the head of the white wolf, until his death, he never thought why the master who had been with him day and night for several years would suddenly attack him. It whimpered and struggled, and after a while it didn't move again.

After killing the wolf, Costa, who was covered in blood, was panting heavily, and some regrets rose in his heart. The wolf had followed him for several years.

Shaking his head, it was useless to regret, he found that he had another debt to settle with Dane.

Costa asked: "What are the two of them doing now?"

A confidant came up and said: "The two of them have just been welcomed into Chapple's room, and I heard that the captains of Culin, Geb, and Quincy all went to meet Chapple and Dane just now. "

The names of the people who appeared in the words were all important figures in White Wolf Fort, and they were all at the captain level.

At this moment, there are two main forces still stationed in White Wolf Castle. Part of it is the third regiment of Costa's White Wolf Castle. It was supposed to have a strength of more than a thousand people. A brigade of light infantry was drawn away, leaving only eight or nine hundred people.

The other part is the left-behind white wolf cavalry brigade, with a total of 300 people, which can be said to be the most elite team in the fortress. The captain of the brigade is Quincy who just visited Chapple and Dane. As for Kulin and Gebu, one is the captain of the White Wolf Guards, and the other is the captain of a light infantry brigade.

Those three guys rushed to visit Chapple and Dane just after they settled down, and the meaning they expressed was quite obvious—they seemed more willing to go with Dane and Chapple than to support Costa Get closer.

It is normal for Quincy to make such a choice. When Chapple passed by, he was the direct leader of the White Wolf Cavalry Regiment. He had two groups of White Wolf Cavalry under his jurisdiction. It was Quincy.

The other Kulin made Costa a little heartbroken. The White Wolf Guard was an elite heavy infantry unit, and he also leaned towards Dane, which meant that among the 1,500 left behind troops, the two most elite brigades had already declared to leave him.

Compared with the two elite teams, Geb's defection is slightly less important in terms of importance, but it is the biggest blow to Costa-because Geb's immediate superior should be Costa, his light infantry The brigade was originally a team under the third wing controlled by Costa.

Thinking about it this way, the three people leaning towards Dane all have a common characteristic - they have all been favored by Chapple.

For Quincy, the captain of the White Wolf Cavalry, Chapple was his old boss, and it was quite normal for him to follow Chapple; Geb and Cullin, even Costa, could go Up to today's position, which one was not promoted by Chapple

In terms of personal strength, Chapple, as a twelfth-level White Wolf Knight, is simply the strongest in the castle except Morno; Poole was simply not in the same class.

It would be fine if Chapple could be kept out of the city gate. Let it in, how does Costa compete with Chapple and Dane

"When they entered the city just now, if the instigation failed, they should have done it directly..."

Hearing one of his confidants next to him muttering, Costa was even more annoyed. He scolded: "Shut up! Idiot! At that scene, what would happen if we did something? Just the dozens of soldiers arranged, not to mention whether it is possible to kill Dane and Chapple. If we do something, what do you think? Those three guys who ran to meet Chapple wouldn't do anything?"

The mumbling guy shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Costa paced back and forth irritably, and suddenly his face became ferocious. He asked: "Nikon, how many people do we absolutely trust now?"

"Guaranteed to have six hundred people!"

"Nonsense, six hundred people is the total number of people from the Third Wing who have not yet contacted Chapple. I mean it is completely reliable, do you understand?"

"Then..." The guy named Nikon by Costa thought about it carefully, and finally gave a number: "There are always three hundred people."

This is a relatively reliable number, Costa said: "Gather people and surround Chapple's house in fifteen minutes! Remember, don't disturb too many people, and don't give them any time to react."

"Kulin, Geb, and Quincy are all still there."

"Hmph..." Costa had a grim look on his face, "It happened to catch them all in one go!"

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the window, coupled with the cold light reflected from the soldiers outside seen from the window, Culin, Geb, and Quincy were all panicked, startled and angry.

Geb was startled and said, "Colonel Costa... what is he trying to do?"

Quincy said coldly at the side: "Can't you see this? He wants to kill us all here, so that he can dominate the White Wolf Castle."

Kulin scolded: "Damn Costa, how dare you be so brave! I didn't expect him to be such a person!"

The three of them had different expressions and cursed each other, but their hearts were cold.

Before they came, they never thought that such a situation would happen. In their eyes, although Costa was not very attractive, he was after all the guard personally handed down by General Morno, and he was his own family. And the news of the general's sudden death, coupled with Chapple's return, in terms of seniority to find a person who counts in White Wolf Castle, it should be Chapple.

Today, in front of so many people, Chapple showed that he wanted to respect Dane as the Lord. Of course, they wanted to ask clearly what was going on.

After arriving at the scene, after chatting for a while, there was the sound of swords and soldiers outside. Quincy first went out to take a look, and was forced back by an arrow. If he wasn't dissatisfied with his skills, he would have lost his life!

This was not what they had expected, and there was even no sign of it. (To be continued.)
