Chapter 332
In the past thousand years of history, the Sword Castle, which had given birth to two sword masters and was named after it, drew an infinitely extending dash for its own destiny on this day.Blinded by interests, the Beifeng family ignored the admonitions of their ancestors and tried to return to the upper stage of the kingdom through marriage. They didn't know that they were dancing on a dangerous tightrope, and if they were not careful, the whole family would be smashed to pieces.

From the period of opening up the northern border to the present, the heir of the family who has the most hope of reappearing the glory of the Juggernaut in the past 300 years, fell into a scheme by accident, was seriously injured and fell into a coma.If this was not a surprise to the rebels of the Beifeng family, then the accidental fall of the imperial imperial doll master was a truly unacceptable event.

For a dignified old gold rank powerhouse, almost the top combat power in this country, to die in such a remote place for no apparent reason, even if the Beifeng family had all sorts of grievances, it would be hard for them to justify it.They couldn't explain at all why a descendant of an unknown family suddenly became famous and lost both with the puppeteer.What is even more inexplicable is that the sword that finally killed the puppet master turned out to be the long-lost Sword of Fallen Leaves.

However, the Beifeng family soon discovered that they no longer had to worry about how to explain this problem. Compared with the royal family's accountability, the disaster that happened before them was more crucial.

The Brotherhood of Masonry betrayed the settlement agreement reached with the Northwind family, and Marble Hagnan, who was originally confronting the Istaronites, turned his horse around and launched an attack on the Castle of Swords.

When the refugee wave swept across Sword Castle, the Stonework Brotherhood, as the refugee representative, reached an agreement with the head of the Northwind family, Diana’s father, Michelle. The urban area of ​​Sword Castle, while the Northwind family provided rations to the refugees as much as they could.After Michelle fell ill, this agreement was presided over by Diana herself, and now when the eldest lady also disappeared, the Brotherhood immediately launched an attack in the name of distrust.

The rebels of the Northwind family were baffled by this, because in the agreement they secretly reached with the Brotherhood, all the preferential conditions were at least tripled.Before they can take action to clean up these untouchables, let these untouchables beat them up.The pressure from the royal family is nothing more than that. What right does such a group of wild dogs have to do to the Beifeng family?

The rebels will only think of the dignity of the family at this moment, but they have not realized that as the two sides of the rebellion killed each other, the family castle collapsed, and the most talented heir was seriously injured and disappeared, the North Wind family has lost all deterrent power .Such a thing as an agreement can only be maintained when the strength of the two parties is almost the same. The Brotherhood of Stone Workers is obviously not the kind of just organization that considers the weak.

Hagnan's sledgehammer blasted open the weak gate of Sword Fort with a single blow, and it took only 3 minutes to blatantly kill the sword guard Hua Lain who came to question him.When this giant walked into the city with Hua Lain's flesh and blood, the rebels of the Beifeng family suddenly discovered in horror that they could not organize any effective resistance force on their own side.

At noon, Sword Castle fell.

Refugees from outside the city swarmed in, and driven by hunger, they carried out indiscriminate looting of the residents in the city.Sword Castle, which had just experienced an internal rebellion, once again suffered unprecedented catastrophe, and the entire city fell into chaos.

In the evening, the Istaron cavalry entered the Sword Castle.

A neatly written letter appeared in front of Laurana, and the envelope was stamped with the seal of the Brotherhood of Masonry.After carefully reading the contents of her heart, the girl ordered someone to kill the messenger and hang his head on the flagpole.

The Istaron warriors began to sweep street by street, block by block, driving hungry refugees... what should now be called mobs, deeper into the city.Under the deliberate indulgence of the Masonry Brotherhood, the mob who smashed, looted, burned and made a lot of noise regained their courage, and launched a counterattack against the Istaren people with red eyes, and the flames of war were rekindled in the dark night.

In fact, apart from their own hunger, most of the reasons why the refugees were so crazy came from their fear of the people of Istaren.Although desperation can inspire madness, this kind of madness is meaningless in the face of a cold killing machine. When the refugees discovered the god of war in their hearts, even the strong man Hagnan of the Masonry Brotherhood could not suppress the people of Istaren with force. When they entered the army, courage quickly disappeared from their hearts, replaced by fear, and Sword Castle unfortunately became the place where this fear was vented.

The Stonework Brotherhood's occupation of Sword Fort is not so much premeditated, but now it is more like being forced to do so. In this game centered on Sword Fort, although they have a strong hole card, they have not become the strongest. party.After the self-destruction of Sword Castle, the people of Eastalen took the initiative, and as the temporary leader, Laurana is a profiteer with no limit at all, under her unreasonable and pressing every step of the way However, the Brotherhood, which has a strong personal force, has been constrained instead.

If it were Tiana and El, they might not have chosen to confront the enemy head-on under the circumstances at that time. From the perspective of the leader, they must consider the issue comprehensively.Tiana will choose to negotiate secretly with the Prophet of the Brotherhood. El may fight with Hagnan again, but it is unnecessary to say this now. With the two leaders missing collectively, Laurana will not That's all, and some people who are representatives of not doing their jobs properly are not qualified to accuse her.

After nightfall, the group of exiles moved into the cleared urban area. For the long-distance and tired travelers, this was the first real rest after they fled Istaren.A shelter from the wind and rain and a warm fire were unattainable luxury before.In the face of this great sense of happiness, the damage of the house and the corpses everywhere are all problems that can be ignored.The surviving Sword Castle people were gathered together and specially designated a new refugee camp.Although they were also innocent victims, the leader of the exile team had no extra sympathy at this time.

After Tiana settled down, it was almost midnight, and sporadic battle sounds could still be heard in the city. The fire in the city had basically been extinguished, but the smoke still hovered over the city, blocking the light of the silver moon.El twisted his neck, stretched his waist, found a clean place in the carriage and lay down.

There is a lot of space in the carriage, but except for the gray goblin family, it is almost full of various ingredients and the treasures inherited by Laurana. The books alone fill ten bookshelves, and they are crowded in the corner.Although there is wealth in the remaining space, it is only relative to the individual.The seriously wounded Tiana occupied the quietest place inside, and Laurana had to squeeze to the door to do her own thing, with El lying under her feet.

Of course, because the girl is wearing an airtight robe, there is no benefit even from this angle.

"Don't you want to ask me why I did this?" After waiting for a while without El's response, Laurana couldn't help but put down the document in her hand and asked.

Even if I don't ask, can you hold back?El complained secretly in his heart, but considering the relationship issue, he still didn't say such hurtful words. He just nodded and asked, "Why? Because that old guy is a bitch?"

"I didn't expect you to be unexpectedly sharp this time." Laurana raised her eyebrows and whispered in surprise.

"How can such a perverted character be cultivated by a mere local gang organization?" El coldly snorted and said, "Although there are some suspicions of boasting, but how can Tiana and I fight all the way out of Istaron?" Can he be considered number one? That stupid big man and old man can suppress both of us at the same time, why? Seeing their confident appearance, I don’t know where their confidence comes from.”

"You just simply suspect that they have another support?" Laurana said noncommittally.

"Did you think we were just going on a night tour last night?" El pouted and said, "We found that their food source was abnormal, and it may be the supply they got from the northern plague area. Although saying this is equivalent to making it clear I suspect that the Cursed Sect is in the way, but I still have a hard time understanding why the dead need to provide food for the living?"

"So you came to such a conclusion overnight?" Laurana glared at him angrily, and said angrily: "As long as you calculate the approximate number of people, you should know that there is definitely a problem with their food supply. With the There is absolutely no capacity to support these refugees. It doesn't matter who feeds them, what really matters is that we can confirm that the Brotherhood has an unknown ally in the dark."

"What's the difference?" Al asked a little puzzled.

"For our half-disabled exile team, it doesn't really matter who the enemy is, because we don't even have any trusted allies." Laurana sighed, and picked up a map of Sword Castle from her hand , said to El: "As long as the fact that the Brotherhood has an 'ally' is confirmed, many problems can actually be explained clearly. We all believe that it is impossible for a gang organization to develop like this, but it is reasonable to exist. We only It can be deduced by such a fact..."

"Conclusion." El sat up and looked into the girl's eyes and said seriously.

"The conclusion is that the Brotherhood is likely to be cooperating with the Sect of the Damned. This is not impossible. Just think about the Ludern Temple in Istaron. The Sect of the Damned is essentially an organization established by humans. Even if it is a dead person, as long as it is a human It cannot get rid of human nature. Since they can compromise, it means that there must be a backer behind the Masonry Brotherhood, whether it is the legendary underground evil god or something else, but in short, they at least have the qualifications to negotiate. The premise is that the target of the prophet should be the city of Sword Castle."

Laurana said softly.
