Working Prophet.

Chapter 35 There is nothing to do
"Anyone who wants to take this castle must pay a terrible price."

Half-face commented in this way, and then turned his head to Ilea, "Your guardian knight is surprisingly capable."

"Mom said that although Alfred seldom speaks and his words are like gold, he never disappoints. He is the perfect embodiment of chivalry." Miss Rabbit said proudly.

"There are such idiots in this world. I almost want to meet him after what you said." Jude straightened his hair that was blown by the wind. "But the premise is that your stepmother is willing to let us in."

Jude didn't mean to demoralize.

The main reason is that he really can't think of any way to sneak into the castle by bypassing the soldiers outside.

Vanessa probably assembled an armed force of less than 300 people, most of whom were militiamen. It is actually a bit unsightly that such a small number of people want to besiege a castle.

However, Vanessa's advantage is that she has lived in Teacup Castle for many years, and she knows enough about the structure of the castle. As long as she sends someone to block the gate and guard the secret passage, she can basically cut off the connection between the people inside and the outside.

After nightfall, Vanessa divided the staff on hand into two teams, one team was on duty in the first half of the night, and the other team waited until the second half of the night to take over. Everything was in order.

However, this beautiful woman with lop ears is not as calm and composed as she appears on the surface.

In fact, she has become more and more anxious these two days. Although Ilea still did not show up, there is no news from Faja.

Vanessa didn't know if the Honey Bear team had succeeded, and those guys disappeared without a trace after taking her money.

Although Faja assured her again and again, the young man of the Boleslaw family was so accomplished in tracking that even if a person died, he could dig it out of the ground as long as it was not turned into ashes.

However, the more so, the more uneasy the honey bear's delay in showing up made her feel.

Coupled with the fact that the castle fell into the hands of that guy named Alfred, Vanessa was even more annoyed.

She never dreamed that the usually taciturn old man who was ridiculed and dubbed the death knight would be so ruthless.

After receiving Ilea's letter, he took down Teacup Fort with only three people.

It is said that this guy pretended to deliver wine to the castle, deceived the guards at the gate, and then directly kidnapped the old wife and two sons of the manager Fausto.

Forcing Fausto to lure the Pablo knight who was in charge of defense in the castle into an empty room, where they ambushed and attacked Pablo, and knocked the latter unconscious and tied him up without much effort.

Afterwards, they followed the same pattern, nibbling away the possible resistance forces in the castle little by little, and finally took over there smoothly.

Vanessa heard about it from a groom who escaped from the castle by chance. Her first reaction was to suspect that something was wrong with her ears.

Because it's just so bizarre.

The extremely sturdy Teacup Castle, which has resisted the invasion of powerful enemies dozens of times in history, and finally helped the Arias family repel the invading enemies, was unexpectedly led by a bad old man who was over a hundred and a half years old. Three or two kittens were easily taken down.

If this matter gets out, it will be a disgrace to the Arias family.

However, this is not over yet. After receiving the news, Vanessa denounced Alfred as a traitor, and used her prestige to quickly summon a soldier in the territory, surrounded Teacup Castle for three days, and then discovered... ...can't get it back.

Vanessa originally thought that she had a righteous reputation, and there were many old people around her in the castle. When the soldiers came to press the border, they would raise their arms and shout without using their hands. The people inside should tie up Alfred and open the door. The gates greeted her.

But unexpectedly, Alfred was prepared for this, and the old knight divided the people in the castle into two categories in advance.

For those with or without relatives, he locked up those behind and threw them into the dungeon, while Alfred selected young and strong people from them and sent them to the city wall to guard the city.

They guarded their relatives alone, and then told those who guarded the city to kill their relatives first once the city was broken.

There is such a sharp knife hanging on the forehead, and Alfred also took out Ilea's handwritten letter, and asked the manager, Fausto, to examine it for himself and read it in public.

The big guy boarded the old knight's thief ship in a daze and helped defend the city.

So Vanessa was dumbfounded again, she still wanted to subdue the enemy through deterrence without fighting, how could she understand if she really wanted to attack the city.

Moreover, she did not prepare siege equipment in advance, and there were not enough people.

I tried to fight, but two militiamen were killed and four others were injured. The Javier knight who was supervising the battle in the front row was standing too close, and was almost attacked by Alfred who was hiding behind the arrow and shot a cold arrow. one is right.

Fortunately, his plate armor played a role and blocked the fatal arrow for him.

Otherwise, Knight Javier might become the first nobleman to die in this siege.

Seeing that the attack was unsuccessful, Vanessa had to let people surround the Teacup Fort first.

But time was not on her side. Although Vanessa made repeated orders and strictly prohibited the people below from leaking what happened during the election that day, so many eyes were watching at that time.

Many of them were the entourage of the Arias family. These people returned to the green field with Vanessa. It was inevitable that they could not control their mouths. They ignored Vanessa's ban and secretly told their friends about it.

Then his friend told his friend, and his friend's friend told his friend's friend... Soon, one word spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and it didn't take long for more than half of Vanessa's army to listen. It's over.

In front of the beautiful woman with lop-eared ears, these people were relatively restrained, but in private, there were more and more discussions.

Hearts float.

Vanessa saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. She had already made up her mind that she would launch a general offensive after sunrise tomorrow, and even if casualties were not counted, she would retake Teacup Castle, because she could no longer delay it.

On the other side, Miss Rabbit and her party are still trying to find a way to get into the castle.

It's a pity that I turned around and didn't see any chance.

Until Li Yu pointed to a section of the towering city wall and asked Ilea, "If someone puts a basket down here and we sit in it, will they be able to pull us up?"

"It's true to say that, but the question is how do we contact the people in the castle and let them put the basket here?"

He paused for a while, and added, "Although the soldiers outside the city focused on the gates and secret passages and didn't pay much attention to the city walls, as you can see, there are still teams patrolling nearby.

"We have to reach the bottom of the city before they find out, and then climb up the city wall. The time in between is quite tight."

Yi Liya also felt that Li Yu's idea was not realistic.

However, the latter said, "What if I can get in touch with the defenders in the city?"
