The castle was shrouded in flames, and corpses were everywhere. When Grimgor Ironhide, carrying a battle ax, angrily broke into the hall of Grizzly Bear Castle, he found that there was nothing here. Some people just knelt down under the stone statues.
A human lord who is as humble as a dog. Yes, he is indeed a lord.
The gorgeous robes and long sword inlaid with gems all indicate that this human being is of a higher status than others. Because ordinary knights cannot wear a one-handed sword inlaid with gems. Of course, Grimgor Ironhide, the King of the Black Orcs, is right
This human being is not interested in his identity at all. All he wants is pure slaughter.
He walked over, his eyes cruel and cunning.
Cyril stood up from under the statue of the god tremblingly. His prayers to the gods ended up being ineffective. Even at the last moment of his life, the gods did not respond to his call. At the feet of the bear god Esun, the Earl
As small as an ant.
Facing Grimgor Ironhide, the King of the Black Orcs, Cyril pulled out the sword from his waist. He cheered and yelled, but he was extremely afraid in his heart. This was not the first time he faced Ironhide.
Last time, Grimgor Ironhide almost chopped off his head on the wall of Watchfort. But now, he has no chance to escape.
While Cyril was yelling on the spot, Ironhide just walked over casually. His battle ax Gisnik was still dripping with blood, which was the blood of the castle guards. The blood dripped all over the ground.
"Come on! Beast!"
"Let's fight to the death!"
Ten steps, five steps... Xirel shouted hysterically.
Suddenly, all his courage disappeared at this moment, and the gorgeous Lord's Sword in his hand fell to the ground, making a sonorous echo.
"Let me go...let me go...the person you want to kill is not here, he went to the north! Rhodes is in the north..."
Before he finished speaking, the black orc roared, and immediately struck down a bloody battle ax as tall as a man. The ax cut the earl's neck into two pieces. The pale head rolled out like a ball, carrying it all over the ground.
The blood stains slipped under the statue of the bear god Esun. The huge statue of Esun remained motionless.
roar……
After the massacre, Ironhide roared wildly, and the roar spread from the castle hall and echoed over Grizzly Bear Castle, announcing the fall of the castle.
…
When the news of Cyrille's death came, the Northern Alliance troops just retreated to Watchfort for repairs. The death of the lord would undoubtedly add insult to injury to the already dilapidated Watchfort.
However, even in such a dilapidated castle, some people still cast greedy eyes on him. This is because Cyril's only son is only sixteen years old, and he is still a young and untouched child.
"Now it's as you wished. My husband is dead and the stumbling block in front of you has been removed. You can lead the Northern Army without any hindrance."
In the dark and silent room of Watchfort, Lord Cyrel's widow Trani said with resentment. The surroundings were filled with flickering candlelight and heavy shadows.
Rhodes didn't want to argue with her. There was nothing to argue with a widow. The reason why he came here was just to solve the problem of the successor of Watch Castle to ensure the stability of the entire castle. Although it is no longer like the original Watch Castle
The forts are as solid as a rock and prosperous and rich. However, in the environment where greenskin is raging and darkness is rising, every northern fortress has a pivotal position. Too much has been lost and cannot be lost again.
"Madam, first of all, I must correct your wrong view - your husband, Lord Cyril, is not a stumbling block to me. Since Ironhide's invasion, he has not been able to influence me at all, and he has not been able to hinder my decision in the slightest. Watch Castle
During the siege, it was I who organized the army to support Fort Watch, not your husband who asked me to do that. Also, it was his own decision to stay in Grizzly Bear Castle and wait for the Queen's reinforcements. I persuaded him to join me.
He wanted to leave, but he insisted on staying. Everyone was present at the time. Therefore, he was not a stumbling block for me. I was not his enemy."
Rhodes walked over and sat on the stone bench opposite Telani. This was originally a prison cell. In order to hide from others and avoid unnecessary trouble, Rhodes and Telani met here. Even the moonlight could not penetrate this building.
In the secret room they entered, only candlelight allowed them to see each other clearly.
Trani's face was pale. As a wife, hearing the news that her husband had died in the war was enough to make her collapse. However, she must live strong for the sake of her children. Bradley was only sixteen years old, and he did not understand the impact of his father's death on him.
What does it mean? In addition to emotional sadness, he should always pay attention to the dangers from the people around him. Those greedy people are always looking at him in the dark corners. Like a poisonous snake, peeping at his prey. Whenever there is a special
Lanny always felt uneasy when she saw the way her brother-in-law looked at Bradley. Yes, Bradley needed her. He was only sixteen years old and under too much protection, he had no idea about the world.
of danger and darkness.
"I have no intention of being your enemy."
After a long time, Telani sighed tiredly, mentally and physically, and whispered.
"Then let's discuss the matter of the new lord of Watchfort."
"Does this still need to be discussed? My son must inherit his father's position!"
Telani's voice couldn't help but grow louder again. Firm determination was written on her face. It was like a rock, unshakable.
"Perhaps someone is more suitable for this position. Bradley is still very young. He is not enough to hold the position of Lord of Watchfort."
Rhodes said tentatively.
"Lord Rhodes, what do you mean? Is it possible that you already have a candidate in your mind? Is it possible that you want to interfere in the internal affairs of Watchburg now?!"
Telani's voice suddenly became louder.
Rhodes just waved his hand to signal the woman to quiet down.
"I didn't mean that, ma'am."
he said.
"That's good." Trani calmed down a little, "I know, I know that Bradley is still young, he is not sensible yet, and his ability is not enough to sit in his father's position. But please, please
You must know that if he cannot take the position of lord, his life may be in danger!"
Telani's words reminded Rhodes. These days, many people have been whispering in their ears how wise brother Xirel is. His intentions are clear.
"My husband is dead and I can't lose my son again."
Telani raised her head and stared at Rhodes, her pair of dark blue eyes filled with unshakable determination.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to educate and assist Bradley. Before he grows into a truly qualified lord, I will take good care of him and educate him well."
Trani said in an almost pleading tone. She knew that Watch Keep was in tatters and had no strength. And the man in front of her was undoubtedly the most powerful person in the North. Although he had not intervened in the situation at Watch Keep.
However, once he intervenes, it will be enough to change the structure of Watchfort.
