Although he didn't say it outright, the slight dislike in his eyes was still caught in his eyes.
Duke's face suddenly darkened and he said, "Don't worry, if this is my destiny, I won't ask you to admit any responsibility!"
"Since you have the consciousness to fight to the death, then stay!" Ye Fan was too lazy to say any more, since this kid wouldn't leave anyway.
Everyone could also see what he was thinking.
The Earl of Goulton is dying, and no successor to the Earlship has been announced.
He is very likely to regard the monsters in the castle this time as a test to see who can handle them well, who will pass the test.
So far, the heads of the Gulton family's two major industries, import and export trade and military industry, are Banner and Duke respectively.
Banner is older than Duke and is more calm in his behavior.
If nothing else happens, Banner is likely to be the next Earl of Gulton.
If Duke wants to win, it must show courage and ability.
"Let those people come in!" Ye Fan hooked his finger at Duke, "Everyone try to get closer and hit the action. That monster is good at stealth and sneak attacks. If you are alone, you will easily be attacked by it!"
"Ye Fan, are you sure you want to command me?" Duke sneered.
"It's just a suggestion, you want to hear it or not." Ye Fan sneered back.
"In the past few months, there have been between eighty and a hundred people who died in the castle, and many of them were warriors, and even masters who were eight times the limit died quietly.
If you think you can sit back and relax if you have a few guns, then just do what you want!”
Duke's expression suddenly became unsatisfactory.
Ye Fan was right, even if they had guns, they still couldn't guarantee safety.
More importantly, those people outside are his support.
Warriors like Ye Fan say they will take care of him, but in fact when they encounter trouble, they will definitely choose to protect themselves as soon as possible.
Therefore, his men must try to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Duke hesitated for a while, then turned and whistled.
The men in black outside gathered together and entered the hall neatly.
This hall covers hundreds of square meters. Let alone dozens of people, even if there are twice as many people, it will not be crowded.
Benge and others sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for nightfall.
Duke was bored and walked around the living room, the gun in his hand clicking.
Time passed quickly, and it was midnight in a blink of an eye.
Duke couldn't wait any longer and asked impatiently: "Hey, Ye Fan, when are we going to catch that monster?"
Ye Fan shook his head, "It's not a good thing to take the initiative. We just have to wait and see."
"Why?" Duke was obviously confronting Ye Fan and was very dissatisfied with his behavior.
"When the monster first appeared, one person would be killed in the castle every other week. Later, it was like this almost every day!
The Gulton family invited many warriors over, but they failed to solve it. They probably all became its prey.
However, the last time someone disappeared was five or six days ago. Since then, there has been no entry into Gulton Castle.
In other words, this monster has not caught prey for five or six days, so it must be hungry.
With so many of us here, it won't attack rashly, it will definitely survive slowly.
It doesn't matter to us, we can't kill it today, there will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!
This monster doesn't have that much patience, and will definitely be forced to jump over the wall. At that time, it will be our chance!"
Ye Fan's analysis was sound and logical, and was recognized by other mercenaries.
Even Ben Ge, who had always been at odds with Ye Fan, nodded slightly, indicating that he and Ye Fan had the same idea.
However, Duke didn't think so.
"Ye Fan, are you kidding me? There are so many of us and we are so strong, that monster is definitely no match for us!"
Duke snorted coldly: "We, the Gulton family, did not invite you here to test your patience!"
"If you want to stand out, just go by yourself." Ye Fan pointed out: "You also know where the entrance to the underground is, go by yourself, I will never stop you!"
"You!" Duke's face sank to the ground, wishing he could shoot Ye Fan to death.
I had a good relationship with Duke, so I whispered a few words of comfort to him to calm down.
If the monster is caught, he will definitely be brought before the count to claim credit. Now is not the time to act on impulse.
Duke took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey and finally felt at ease.
After a while, a clearly audible "rustling" sound came from the castle.
Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of strange "whirring" wind sounds in the corridor outside.
"Hi la la..."
The electric lights in the castle were affected by the strong magnetic field, and Hu Ming suddenly became angry.
"Huh?" Ye Fan's mental power spread out, and he vaguely felt a powerful aura in the castle, moving around.
Others also felt it, and their expressions became tense.
"That monster is out! Everyone, be careful."
Ye Fan said in a deep voice, turning to look at Duke and the men in black: "Don't stay too far away from us. Try to keep all actions within our sight, otherwise you will be captured by monsters. Don't blame me for not warning you!"
"I want you to say more!" Duke snorted and dealt with the men in black.
The men in black who were originally scattered in the hall on guard immediately moved closer to the sofa seat. The firearms hanging on their shoulders had been picked up and the safety bolts were opened.
The surrounding sounds were getting closer and closer, and the people who were originally calm began to look solemn.
"No, no, why do I feel like...there are monsters everywhere?!" Duke exclaimed.
Before he finished speaking, the suspended ceiling made of glass suddenly made a "crash" sound and shattered into pieces.
Immediately, countless white threads fell from the sky, densely packed, like a waterfall.
Ye Fan and other warriors immediately gathered their martial strength without saying a word.
The sharp force possesses the body, forming a sharp cut surface, blocking the silk thread and cutting it at the same time.
However, Duke's men were entangled in the silk thread, and without waiting for them to react, they were pulled upwards and rolled out of the ceiling.
"ah……"
"ah!!!"
These people panicked and wanted to resist, but they were tied like rice dumplings and unable to move.
Not to mention shooting, even stretching your arms and legs is a luxury!
"No, help!"
Seeing dozens of people hanging in the air, Ye Fan gave a sharp shout, then flipped his wrist and released the Coiling Dragon Soft Sword.
He tiptoed, jumped into the air, and slashed three times in a row with "swish, swish, swish", and the sword energy flew out, cutting many silk threads.
Most of the thirty or forty people fell down and were caught by Benge and others. Only a dozen unlucky ones were rolled out of the ceiling and disappeared into the black night.
A dozen armed men were taken away, and the threads stopped falling instantly, followed by a dense "rustling" sound around them, and then calmed down after a few seconds.
Ye Fan landed firmly on the ground, looking at the hall full of white silk threads, his expression became solemn.
"Spider webs, these are spider webs!"
Duke suddenly let out a cry, staggered where he stood, and almost fell to the ground.
He stepped on the cobwebs on the floor of the living room and used a lot of strength to break free from the cobwebs.
Duke's face was extremely pale.
He was just stepping on a web, and it took so much effort. If he was tied up by those spider webs, would he still have the power to fight back?
"Hi la la..."
"Pfft!"
Benge and others quickly tore apart the cobwebs that bound the armed men, and soon allowed them to move freely again.
Duke saw it in his eyes, and a fire surged in his heart.
This is the power of high-level warriors!
It was difficult for them to shake the cobweb, but they tore it into pieces easily!
One day, I will reach their level!
"Benge, Jinshan, Jinmu, Lewis, the four of you follow me! The others are waiting here, keep an eye on these people!"
Ye Fan's ears moved slightly and he determined the direction in which the spiders were going. He shouted in a deep voice and rushed to the ceiling first.
"Walk!"
The four of them did not hesitate and quickly followed Ye Fan out.
Duke was horrified and quickly asked a mercenary beside him: "Tucker, what are they doing?! There is obviously more than one monster here. If we don't retreat, we are still pursuing it?"
The mercenary glanced at Duke sideways and said in a low voice: "Those monsters are only four or five times the maximum strength, so there is nothing to fear.
If I guess correctly, Mr. Ye wants to follow those monsters to their lair so that they can all be caught in one fell swoop!"
"They still have a lair?" Duke was confused, "No, no, since these monsters are only four or five times the limit, why didn't you just kill them?"
"Killing them will definitely alert the enemy." Tucker sneered, "If you alert the BOSS behind, how can you solve the crisis in the castle?"
"BOSS..." Duke was stunned again, "You mean, there is a more powerful monster deep underground?"
"Mr. Duke, in every insect nest, there must be a female insect!" Tucker said solemnly: "The strength of that female insect is very strong, probably more than nine times the limit!"
"how do you know?"
"If this were not the case, the eight-fold limit master would not have disappeared quietly a few days ago. The monsters that appeared just now are not enough to threaten the life of an eight-fold limit master!"
Tucker replied, "Count Gulton will not gather a group of us to solve the trouble in the castle!"
"Above nine times the limit..." Duke shuddered, "What about us now?"
"Wait here for Mr. Ye and others to come back."
Tucker smiled faintly, with martial strength surging around his body, and said to the other mercenaries: "Everyone, there are cobwebs everywhere here. We don't care, but Mr. Duke can't move freely, so let's clear the cobwebs first!"
"Um!"
The other four warriors nodded and activated their martial strength one by one, quickly clearing away the surrounding cobwebs.
Duke breathed a sigh of relief and quickly directed the remaining armed members to form a defensive formation to prepare for a sneak attack by those monsters.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, there was another "rustling" sound all around, and the sound was several times denser than before!
