"Rhode! I'm warning you, if you don't find the vampire lair you mentioned, then your actions will be slander, frame-up and kidnapping!"
James, who was under house arrest by Rhodes, yelled. However, Rhodes ignored his threats and intimidation. He did what he had to do, and then he waited for the truth to be revealed. Rhodes knew that the Snow Queen Katrina
With her unique character, this cruel tsarina would rather kill ten thousand people by mistake than let one go.
Therefore, even if you search for vampires and find no results, you will not be punished by the Queen. On the contrary, you will be punished by the Queen if you have already been attacked but have not investigated thoroughly. As for this small local lord, Rhodes
I know that based on the queen's past ruling style, she would not care about the life of this little lord. The worst she could do would be to re-confer this castle to other people. Some people who are loyal to her...
"I just kidnapped you, what happened? You allowed vampires to cause trouble in the city without doing anything. Your behavior has violated the laws of this country." Rhodes replied coldly, "In addition, there is something
I forgot to tell you that the troops from Kislev are already on their way here. If you don't cooperate then, they won't be as gentle as I am to you."
Rhodes' threat did have an effect, and Lord James stopped talking. Ten minutes later, the guards reported their findings...
"Cellar, there is movement in the cellar!"
The captain of the guard was sweating and spoke earnestly. Obviously, not everyone in the castle knew about the existence of vampires... But the possibility of it being a trap was not ruled out. In order to avoid danger, Rhodes dragged James with him towards the cellar.
go.
"It's too late to say it now, are there any vampires here? You know, what we discovered ourselves and what you said on your own initiative are two different things. I have to do business, and you have to live. Tell me, what exactly is here?
"
Rhodes threatened. However, Lord James remained unmoved. If he were not surrounded by Rhodes' people, he would order the soldiers to drive these people out. Obstructing the Queen's envoy from investigating? Once the person is dead, he can completely
He made up lies and said that Rhodes and his gang died outside the castle... Moreover, it could also be said that Rhodes did not notify him at all. In short, as long as people die, everything can be covered with lies. But Rhodes was one step ahead.
, let Talinnam and Yeskovitch stay at Lord James's side, never leaving.
"There is nothing in here. This is my private wine cellar. If you don't believe it, you can go down and see for yourself."
James said coldly. However, the sly smile on the corner of his mouth was keenly caught by Rhodes again. Thinking of the undead monsters he encountered in the rat-man crypt before, Rhodes couldn't help but worry again. If
There is too much powerful vampire power hidden underneath, so if I go down so recklessly, I will undoubtedly die.
"Let the guards go down and take a look."
Rhodes said loudly.
However, James remained unmoved.
"This is an order! Do you want to disobey the Snow Queen's order?"
Rhodes threatens again.
"Open……"
James reluctantly ordered his soldiers to open the cellar door. However, just as the guards were about to open the door and go in to search, new news came from outside the castle - Kislev's reinforcements had arrived outside the city.
Pierno brought reinforcements from the capital a few days in advance. This surprised Rhodes. Everything that was not smooth before seemed to be going smoothly now. If Pierno's reinforcements had arrived a few days earlier, the blood of these vampires would have
The slave would not attack him rashly, so he would have no reason to blackmail James into searching the entire castle.
"Let them in."
…
Kislev's regular army passed through the narrow town lanes of Dark Word Castle and arrived at the downstairs of the castle. All the residents in the city poked their heads out and stopped to watch. In a small place like Dark Word Castle, such a gorgeously equipped regular army had never been seen.
What Kingdom Knight Pierno brought was not an ordinary official army, but a "gorgeous lineup" composed of fifteen Krem guards and thirty-five Bovell warriors. It was enough to see how seriously the Queen took this matter.
You must know that soldiers like the Krem Guards are not ordinary soldiers. They are rare in number and rarely leave the palace. They are an important force in protecting the Tsar and are the most elite warriors in Kislev. The Povel soldiers belong to the kingdom.
The aristocratic class often plays the role of basic officers in the legion. Therefore, despite the small number of people, with only fifty people, it is a very powerful force.
"Is there any progress in the investigation?"
As soon as Pierno came in, he strode towards Rhodes and asked.
Seeing the reinforcements coming from the capital, Lord James looked very sad. All the secrets, the secrets he didn't want to admit, I'm afraid he can no longer hide them.
"Not only is there progress, it's great progress. There is probably what we are looking for beneath this castle."
Standing in the hall of Dark Word Castle, Rhodes said with a serious expression. For a moment, it seemed that he and the Kingdom knight from Kislev were the owners of this castle, while the original owner James Warren stood there.
On the side, he was temporarily detained like a suspect.
"Let's get started. Seal all city gates and sewers. From now on, no one is allowed to go out!"
After meeting up with Pierno's reinforcements, Rhodes issued his order. Now, the people in the castle must listen even if they don't want to... You can see James' resentful eyes. But now Rhodes doesn't care about him, and several
The Krem guards were fully armed and stood in front of the cellar door, ready to execute Rhodes' order. Because now Rhodes's order represents the Queen's order. The taste of power, like strength, allows you to do whatever you want... Rhodes sighed with emotion.
.
"Open it."
Rhodes ordered loudly.
The moment the cellar door was opened, a musty smell hit their faces. This smell shocked everyone, and everyone unconsciously covered their mouths and noses with their hands to prevent the unpleasant smell from entering.
In the nasal cavity.
Soon, two Krem guards holding double-edged heavy axes urged a group of castle guards to go in for an adventure... This was indeed an adventure. I am afraid that except for a few people who knew this place, others knew nothing about it. Rhodes deliberately
Turning to look at Lord James, I saw this middle-aged man looking at the people who entered with a strange look.
"Lord James, let's come together."
Rhodes called. He saw the castle lord's wife holding his hand, showing a worried look. However, after a moment, James still let her go. He followed the guards from the capital into the dark cellar.
