Josha's words surprised Alexander, he didn't expect this noble lady to be so bold.

But thinking about the astonishing act of shooting him in the chest without hesitation not so long ago, Alexander thought it was understandable.

Families that have survived a long period of time have always had something extraordinary, and those that have survived turbulent times are even more extraordinary.

As a descendant of the Cosenza family, Josha, like the children of the nobility at this time, received a stricter education than ordinary commoners from an early age.

Power, struggle, deceit, make a decision at the right time!

Mastering these things is not whether she wants to or not, but the need of this era!

"You've decided, what are you going to do?"

Alexander, who had figured out this, could only ask him this, he knew that no one could stop him, no one else could do it, and neither could he.

"Odogne must be replaced," Jossa said firmly, "I don't trust him." ”

"Why do you suspect that he has a relationship with the Bohemians?" Alexander asked in surprise, and at the same time thought to himself, if Ordogne had something to do with the Bohèmes, the situation would be much more dangerous.

"No, I don't mean trust for other reasons," Josha looked at the knights nearby, staring at Alexander's eyes with serious eyes, "If I make you the captain of the knights, will you swear allegiance to me?" ”

Alexander was surprised by Josha's unexpected request, and he carefully observed the expression on her face, but could not see anything, which made him a little unsure of what to answer.

"Is that hard to answer, or that you don't want to be loyal to me at all?" Tsusha's golden brow froze.

"I'm just not used to it, you know, I'm your brother." Alexander could only use such a reason to prevaricate, in fact, he was a little overwhelmed by the sudden actions of Jisha, and for a while he even felt like he was being played by a little girl.

"An unproven brother," said Zhisa disapprovingly, "and even if you and I are really half-brothers, do you think you are more noble than Bellery?" "Your father may be a man, but it's your honor to pledge your allegiance to me until he acknowledges who you are." ”

"Okay, you're right, so what are you going to do next?" Alexander reluctantly agreed, knowing that what he said was indeed right, and even if he could prove that he was the son of George Anne, it would be meaningless if he could not be recognized by his "father".

Thinking about his so-called father, Alexander felt that he now had a rare opportunity to become the captain of the Knight of Cosenza.

"Get your two men ready, and Bellery and his men are ready, if it weren't for his identity, I'd rather have him as captain," Zhisa said and looked at Alexander, "Now we have to take risks, O'Donne swore an oath to my father and not to me, so he can't follow my orders, and if he can't control those knights as soon as possible, maybe we will be in danger without waiting for the Bohemians to do anything." ”

Alexander was secretly shocked, he could tell that Josha seemed to have wanted to deal with the knight captain for a long time, although he didn't know why, but now that he had come to this point, he couldn't hesitate anymore.

In Alexander's room, Bellery and a few others were waiting for them, among whom Yan seemed to be the deputy head of the horse farm that he had used as a stand-in to disguise himself as his own.

"My men can help," said Belleri, mutteringly, "they are all familiar with the castle, and with the dwelling of Augourne. ”

Alexander nodded, he already knew from Jossa that she was preparing to act at Odonie's quarters.

This decision is not surprising, as Odonie lived alone in a separate tower near the castle where it met the mountain wall behind it.

From there there is almost a panoramic view of the entire castle of Cosenza, which is probably why Ordogne chose to stay there.

And he liked to meet his knights there, because according to Josha, Odonne seemed to regard the tower as his "kingdom".

When the two muskets were handed to Ulliu and Belery, Alexander, noticing the suspicion in Bolery's eyes as he looked at him.

"Don't worry, I didn't do anything this time." Alexander slightly bent the iron hook, and as he pulled off the horizontal iron, the originally tight and bent iron hook smashed forward, and as the flint on the iron hook smashed on the fire cap plate with a crisp "bang", a spark exploded instantly.

"Just fill in the gunpowder," Alexander turned the handle of the gun and handed it to Beleri, "just fill the gunpowder and pull back the hook, be careful, this thing is not safe." ”

"And the armor against the knights is of little use." Bellery muttered, and he reached out with his left hand and touched a short knife stuck in his waist, as if he was a little relieved.

Alexander shook his head helplessly, the muskets of this era were regarded by many as useless for a long time because of their rudimentary technology.

Even in Aragon and Castile, where firearms were valued, muskets were only used as auxiliary weapons to the Spanish spear phalanx.

Spears, swords, crossbows, and invincible cavalry draped in heavy armor are still the formidable battlefield protagonists of this era.

The time has not yet come for the musket to shine.

"My lord, are we going to fight the captain?"

Mahimo asked with a pale face, the fright he had just suffered had not yet subsided, and now he looked at the few people in the room who were tinkering with weapons, his face had gradually turned from pale to blue.

"We are not enemies of the captain," Alexander corrected, "but to dismiss Ordone in the name of Mademoiselle Countess, but if he refuses to obey, it will be a different matter." ”

"I knew it was going to be like this," Massimo's face fell, "the Bohemians are still outside." ”

"If you can't deal with Odonie, you can't deal with the Bohemians," Bellery snorted, "that Odonie won't listen to Mademoiselle at all." ”

"But what about the soldiers, if O'Donie was no longer the captain, would they listen to us?" Massimo was still a little uneasy.

Bellery nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, except for Odoune's own people, the others are still at the mercy of the Count." ”

Bellery's words moved Alexander's heart, and Massimo was already curiously asking, "Didn't Odonie even listen to the Count's orders?" ”

Bollery's face immediately turned red, and he let out a low "hum" sound from his nose, and his lips moved but he didn't say anything.

"So how do we do it?" Massimo asked dryly as he tugged at the collar of his monk's robe.

"I'll go to Odonie and ask him to send cavalry," said Josha, who walked into the room, "and he'll gather the knights in his room, and then I'll order him to surrender command of the territorial guard." ”

Speaking of this, Jisha's gaze swept over everyone.

"If all goes well, I'll appoint you as the captain of the knights in Cosenza," Jossa looked at Alexander, "otherwise you're going to have to do what you have to do, so you're going to come with me." ”

Listening to Josha's words, Alexander only pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.

This is a time when a decision must be made.

Following him, Alexander and the others walked through the interior of the castle up a narrow corridor that followed the hill upwards.

The terrain of the promenade is very uneven, often with many steps to climb, and as the corridor narrows and narrows, a few stone houses are already visible at the end of the slightly winding promenade.

Josha whispered, "Ahead is Odonie's residence, you have to see it clearly." ”

"Are you really going to do that?" Alexander suppressed his nervousness, which was completely different from what he had experienced before, if he had the outlaws of Bochum to deal with the thugs who tried to infiltrate the palace in Palermo, now he took the initiative to provoke a group of knights armed from head to toe, and he had almost no decent men on his side.

"I think you're crazy," Alexander said in Josha's ear, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly as he smelled the faint fragrance of her sideburns, "but so am I who has gone mad with you." ”

"Don't worry, I'm ready," Shosha said as she walked along the exposed stone wall, "as long as we can lure all of Ordonne's men to his room." As for the others, I believe they prefer to follow the true masters of the territory. But now we have to wait until all his cronies have arrived. ”

"Aren't you afraid that Odonne, because he remembers your previous insult to him, will turn it against you while you are alone when you see him?"

"That's why I'm asking you to come along," said Josa, smiling charmingly at Alexander, and then asking earnestly, "will you watch your lovely sister fall into the hands of a treacherous man?" ”

Cute sister?

Alexander was tempted to ask, "Even if someone is treacherous, it is you?" ”

While secretly slandering in his heart, he was already completely sure that Josa should have already thought about Odonie, but he didn't know if she was doing it to Odonie at this time, because of the arrival of the Bohemians, or if she had already decided when she decided to come back.

As for why Jisha made such a determination, he didn't want to ask now.

Suddenly, Josha's expression changed, and Alexander heard footsteps coming from the bend in the hallway.

"What should I do?"

Alexander couldn't help but look behind him, and the people of Bolery were in the aisle not far from them.

According to their plan, the Bollerians would take advantage of the fact that Honsha would take the opportunity to take back command of the guards, and because of the unique terrain, as long as the entrance to the corridor was blocked, Audogne and his men would lose their freedom completely.

But now, if Ordonne's people see Bellery and the others behind them, it will inevitably arouse their suspicions.

Especially after the clash with Jossa just now, it's hard to imagine what Odonie would do if he became suspicious!

The footsteps were closer, and Alexander's head was already overflowing with sweat.

Although the two of them were not worried about being discovered by Odonne's men, even if no one was suspicious of Beléry and them in the back, if these people could not all enter Odonne's room, their plan would be a failure.

It is clear that Jossa only wants to control the unruly Odonne and his cronies, and does not want to make a big deal out of it.

But if Odonie is not dealt with skillfully and quickly, a mess will ensue in the castle, and things will become out of control, even if there is no threat from the Bohemians outside.

Alexander tried to warn the people behind him to hide, but when he looked around, he realized that the corridor was empty, and there was no place for Bolery and his men to hide, who had come up with weapons in the back.

It's too late to go back and stop them!

"I can't help it."

Alexander, who heard Jisha muttering in a low voice, was just stunned, and then his neck was suddenly hugged by Jisha, and at the same time, two hot lips were already kissing his lips!

Alexander's body, which he didn't react for a moment, froze for a moment, and he realized that he realized that the hand that was tightly around his neck was forcefully suggesting.

Alexander stretched out his hands to wrap his arms around Josha's body, but when he touched Josha's slender waist, his hand involuntarily held her in his arms with a slight force.

Alexander noticed that Jossa seemed to stiffen as well, and then she put her arms around his neck even harder as if in protest, while her lips, which had only been lightly touched, opened slightly, and a little roundness gently circled between his lips and teeth.

"Oh God."

An unexpected low cry sounded from not far away, and Josha quickly pushed Alexander away as if frightened, and she looked angrily at the knights who were awkwardly stopping not far away, and recognized that two of them seemed to be Odonne's cronies.

"I'm sorry Miss, we didn't expect you to be here." One of the knights spoke first, bowing as the corners of his eyes swept over Alexander, before bowing his head.

"Knights, your recklessness has really made me angry," Josha deliberately raised her voice to warn the people behind her with a slightly annoyed and angry scolding voice, and Alexander noticed that her hands were clenched nervously as she spoke, and only slightly relieved her mind until he was sure that the people behind him had heard that they were not there, "Where are you going?" ”

"The captain has ordered us to patrol the castle, and he is giving the others the task of sending people out of the city according to your orders." It was still the knight who answered, but there was some inexplicable tone in his tone.

"You don't have to patrol the castle, go back with me first, I have something important to announce." Ignoring the knight, she simply passed through the crowd and let them stand there hesitating before turning around and following her towards Odoni's house.

Ordonne had clearly not expected Jossa to come to his lodgings suddenly, and he was obviously a little surprised when he saw Mademoiselle de Countess pushing the door open and entering, but then bowed slightly in disapproval.

"Miss, excuse me, but why did you come to me?"

Listening to Odonne, who seemed to be apologetic but secretly aggressive, Josha was unusually calm at this time.

She stood at the back of the door and swept her gaze over the knights in the room, and when she first entered the door, she had already noticed that the atmosphere in the room did not seem to be good, which made her secretly feel a little nervous.

Looking back at Alexander next to him, there was even a slight smile on his face.

Then she turned her head to look at Odonie and said to him in a calm tone: "Knight Odonie, in my capacity as the guardian of the territory of Cosenza, I order you to surrender the command of the territorial guard. ”

The perfunctory smile on O'Donne's face froze for a moment, and at the same time, before he could react, the door was slammed open from the outside, and Bellery, who was armed with a musket, rushed into the room!
