Working Prophet

"Anyone who wants to take this castle must pay a heavy price."

Half-face commented like this, and after speaking, he turned his head to Ilea, "That guardian knight of yours is surprisingly capable."

"Mom said that although Alfred seldom speaks and his words are like gold, he never disappoints. He is the perfect embodiment of chivalry." Miss Rabbit said proudly.

"There are such idiots in this world. I almost want to meet him after what you said." Jude straightened his hair that was blown by the wind. "But the premise is that your stepmother is willing to let us in."

Jude didn't mean to undermine morale.

Mainly because he couldn't think of any way to sneak into the castle bypassing the soldiers outside.

Vanessa probably assembled less than 300 armed forces, most of whom were militiamen. It is actually a bit unsightly for such a small number of people to want to besiege a castle.

However, Vanessa's advantage is that she has lived in Teacup Castle for many years, and she knows enough about the structure of the castle. As long as she sends someone to block the gate and guard the secret passage, she can basically cut off the connection between the people inside and the outside.

After nightfall, Vanessa divided the staff on hand into two teams. One team was on duty in the first half of the night, and the other team waited until the second half of the night to take over. Everything was in order.

However, this lop-eared beauty is not as calm and composed as she appears on the surface.

In fact, she had become more and more anxious in the past two days. Although Ilea still did not show up, there was no news from Faja.

Vanessa didn't know if Honey Bear's team succeeded. Those guys disappeared without a trace after taking her money.

Although Faja assured her again and again, the young man of the Boleslaw family was so accomplished in tracking that even if a person died, he could dig it out of the ground as long as it was not turned into ashes.

However, the more this happened, the more uneasy she felt when the honey bear didn't show up.

In addition, the castle also fell into the hands of the guy named Alfred, and Vanessa became even more upset.

She never dreamed that the usually taciturn old man, who was ridiculed and jokingly called the death knight, could be so ruthless.

After receiving Ilea's letter, he took down Teacup Castle with only three people.

It is said that this guy pretended to deliver wine to the castle, deceived the guards at the door, and then directly kidnapped the old wife and two sons of the steward Fausto.

Forcing Fausto to lure the Pablo knight who was in charge of defense in the castle into an empty room, where they ambushed and attacked Pablo, and knocked the latter unconscious and tied him up without much effort.

After that, he followed the same pattern, eroding away any possible resistance in the castle, and finally successfully took over the place.

Vanessa heard about it from a groom who escaped from the castle by chance. Her first reaction was to suspect that something was wrong with her ears.

Because this is so bizarre.

The extremely sturdy Teacup Castle, which has resisted the invasion of powerful enemies dozens of times in history, and finally helped the Arias family repel the invading enemies, was unexpectedly led by a bad old man who was over a hundred and a half years old. Three or two kittens were easily captured.

If word of this gets out, it will simply be a shame for the Arias family.

However, this is not over yet. After receiving the news, Vanessa denounced Alfred as a traitor, and used her prestige to quickly summon a soldier in the territory, surrounded Teacup Castle for three days, and then discovered... ...can’t get it back.

Vanessa originally thought that she had a righteous reputation, and there were many old people around her in the castle. When the soldiers came to press the border, they would raise their arms and shout without using their hands. The people inside should tie up Alfred and open the door. The city gates greeted her.

But he didn't expect Alfred to be prepared for this. The old knight divided the people in the castle into two categories in advance.

For those with or without relatives, he directly locked up those behind and threw them into the dungeon, while Alfred selected young and strong people from them and sent them to the city wall to guard the city.

They also guarded their relatives alone, and then told those guarding the city that if the city was breached, they would kill their relatives first.

With such a sharp blade hanging on his forehead, Alfred also took out Ilea's autographed letter and asked the steward Fausto to check it in person and read it in public.

The big guys got on the old knight's pirate ship in a daze and helped defend the city.

So Vanessa was dumbfounded again. To be honest, she still wanted to defeat the enemy through intimidation without fighting. She really wanted to attack the city. How could she understand?

Moreover, she did not prepare siege equipment in advance, and there were not enough people.

They tried to fight, but two militiamen were killed and four others were injured. Knight Javier, who was supervising the battle in the front row, stood too close and was almost attacked by Alfred who was hiding behind the arrow gaps and firing cold arrows. Right on.

Fortunately, his plate armor worked and blocked the fatal arrow for him.

Otherwise, Knight Javier might have become the first noble to die in this siege.

Seeing that the strong attack failed, Vanessa had no choice but to let people surround Teacup Castle first.

But time was not on her side. Even though Vanessa had given repeated orders to strictly prohibit people below from leaking what happened during the election that day, so many pairs of eyes were watching at that time.

Many of them were members of the Arias family. These people followed Vanessa back to the green fields. It was inevitable that some of them could not keep their mouths shut and secretly told their friends about the matter despite Vanessa's prohibition.

Then his friend told his friend, and his friend's friend told his friend's friend... Soon, one word spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and it didn't take long for more than half of Vanessa's army to listen. Let's get over this.

These people behaved relatively restrainedly in front of the beautiful woman with lop-eared ears, but in private they started to have more and more discussions.

People's hearts are floating.

Vanessa saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. She had already made up her mind that she would launch a general offensive after sunrise tomorrow, and even if casualties were not counted, she would retake Teacup Castle, because she could no longer delay it.

On the other side, Miss Rabbit and her party were still trying to find a way to enter the castle.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any opportunities after looking around.

Until Li Yu pointed to a section of the towering city wall and asked Ilea, "If someone puts a basket down here and we sit in it, will they be able to pull us up?"

"That's true, but the question is how do we contact the people in the castle and ask them to put the basket here?"

He paused for a while, and added, "Although the soldiers outside the city focused on the gates and secret passages and didn't pay much attention to the city walls, you also saw that there was still a small team patrolling nearby.

"We have to reach the city before they discover us, and then climb the city wall. The time in between is quite tight."

Ilea also felt that Li Yu's idea was not practical.

However, the latter said, "What if I have a way to get in touch with the defenders in the city?"
