Even with the head of Marquis Cullen as a pledge, it is still not easy to deceive those cunning dwarves.
Yirkander had no choice but to write another handwritten letter, expressing his willingness to abandon the Figuerra family and turn to the dwarf king.
He handed this extremely flattering letter of loyalty to Jerome the Giant, the commander of the dwarf army in front of him.
After that, he also left half of the thirty-six cronies who followed him out, and then he was allowed to take the remaining sixteen people to lure the reinforcements who entered the mountain.
However, they wandered around the Longcrest Mountains for three days, but still could not find any trace of that army.
Yin Erkander was anxious, worried that he would not be able to fulfill Marquis Cullen's instructions before his death.
At this moment, he thought of Morse, who was in charge of logistics. At that time, they went into the mountains just to recover the impulsive Hugo, and had no intention of sweeping away the savage tribes in the mountains.
Therefore, he only carried a small amount of food and left most of the baggage outside the mountain under the care of Morse.
If the support army also plans to enter the mountain, their logistics should also be handed over to Morse. In other words, Morse knows where the support army is now.
After thinking about this clearly, Yin Erkander decided not to waste time in the mountains anymore, and left the mountains directly, heading straight for the Solid Stone Castle.
A group of seventeen people, they traveled through the starry night and finally arrived at Solid Rock Castle after two horses were tired.
As soon as he appeared from a distance, he was spotted by the guard in charge of the alert. Later, Yin Erkand also heard the sound of the horn.
Then the gate of the camp opened, and a group of rangers came out, about three times their number, and surrounded them.
Yin Erkander frowned and said, "Where is Sir Morse? I am Yin Erkander from the Yin Manuel family. I followed Marquis Cullen into the Dragon Crest Mountains before. I have urgent military affairs and must immediately
Meet him."
However, when the knight leading the team heard this, he did not immediately go back to report. Instead, he turned around to discuss something with the people behind him. They even glanced at Yin Erkander and his party from time to time.
Yin Erkand's own temper was not very good, and coupled with a series of events that had happened before, he finally managed to get out of the mountain after going through many dangers, but unexpectedly he was stopped outside the camp by his own people.
His patience was almost exhausted.
Fortunately, just when he was about to get angry, the knight leading the team on the opposite side finally raised his head again and said to him.
"Sir Morse took his people to a nearby village to collect grain this morning. But since we are our own people, we can wait in the Solid Stone Castle first."
"Morse isn't here?" Yin Erkander's brows furrowed even more tightly, "Then do you know where the reinforcements are now?"
"I cannot disclose these military affairs to you without Lord Morse's permission."
"Military affairs? I also went on an expedition with Marquis Cullen and got to know Sir Morse. In fact, I rested in Solid Rock Castle more than 20 days ago." Yin Erkander said.
"I'm sorry, but this is Lord Morse's order. Without his order, we cannot tell anyone about the movements of the supporting army." The knight insisted.
"You all look tired. Come in first, take a rest and drink some hot soup."
Yin Erkand didn't have any good ideas. He glanced at the sixteen men behind him, and they all looked exhausted.
So he nodded and got off his horse. Soon someone came forward and took away his horse.
Yin Erkander said to the man, "Give it more fodder. It has been hungry for a long time."
Then his sixteen cronies also dismounted and followed the knight into the camp.
As Yirkander walked, he asked, "Which village did Sir Morse go to collect grain? Can you take me there too?"
But as the last person walked into the camp, the camp door quickly closed behind them.
A sense of danger suddenly arose in Yin Erkander's heart.
But before he could issue a warning, the rangers around him had already drawn their swords from their waists.
The next moment, several screams rang out, and when Yin Erkander turned back, all sixteen of his cronies had been beheaded.
Sixteen headless corpses just stood in front of Yin Erkander, and then fell to the ground with a crash, making him look at them with dismay.
"Why?! Why are you doing this?" Yin Erkand shouted filial piety.
"We have received news that you and your men betrayed the Marquis and became the lackeys of the dwarves. This is why you were able to escape from the mountains."
The leading knight said slowly, "And this is the price of becoming a traitor."
"Has the news come out?" Yin Erkander was stunned for a moment, but soon said with red eyes, "That's not the truth."
"Well, this is how every traitor defends himself." The knight buttoned his ears.
He thought that Yin Erkander would argue a few more words, but he did not expect that the latter did not say a word, but actually pulled out his sword and slashed at him.
The knight wanted to dodge, but the two were not far apart, and Yin Erkander was furious again. He only had time to turn aside a little, and was finally cut on the arm by a sword.
As a result, one of his left arms was cut off, and the knight fell to the ground in pain, rolling around and wailing.
Yin Erkand then swung his sword again, trying to kill the guy again, but at this time other guards had also surrounded him.
Yin Erkander swung his sword tightly, but he faced too many opponents. In the end, he was hit by several swords in a row and was knocked to the ground again.
The knight with a broken arm endured the pain and said, "Leave him alive, Lord Morris still has something to ask him."
The guards did not chop off Yin Erkander's head, but instead took him into the dungeon.
Then Irkander spent the longest afternoon of his life, and Maurice sent a pair of dwarf brothers to interrogate him.
Those two dwarfs, who laughed like mice and squeaked, used almost all the torture methods in the Western Region on him.

Some of them were even thousands of years old, and by the time the torture was over, not a single piece of skin on Yinrkand's body was still intact.
He was thrown into the cell like garbage, waiting for death alone.
Yin Erkander felt that his consciousness was somewhat blurred, because he actually saw a moon in the dark dungeon.
And it's also a bloody moon.
When the man saw Yin Erkander staring at the brooch on his chest, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you like this? Then I will give it to you."
After saying that, he took off his brooch, pinned it on Yin Erkander's chest, and then said to the latter.
"Don't be afraid, Lord Yin Erkand, I'm not a bad person, I'm here to rescue you."
