"We have tried everything we can think of, we can't hold this castle, and the general trend is gone. ”

In the hall of the lords, Besture bluntly and explained the current situation to all the generals present, Fatis, Artiman and Rudiboye were more or less hung up, and Besture himself was hit on the head with a wooden stick by a Swadia recruit, and at this moment he didn't bother to wipe it with his sleeve when the blood was running down his face.

"Anyway, there are no secret passages here, I remember that castles are usually designed like this. Artiman turned to look at the lord sitting in the hall.

"This," Rudy Boye thought for a moment, "there is a man-wide passage under the room where Miss Lorna is lying, and this is what the butler told me after I took over here, but even if we can escape, we won't be able to walk much, so we might as well fight to the death here." ”

Alleyne nodded instinctively when he heard this, after all, leaving a group of subordinates to escape alone was not in line with the nobles' concept of honor.

Fatis and Bestur were also veterans with strong self-esteem, and such an option was not on their radar at all

"That"

Jamila walked out at some point and looked at the people in the hall with an unnatural expression.

"Aren't you supposed to be taking care of Lona, she," Fatis curiously prepared to ask, only to see a sickly-looking girl appear behind Jamila.

"Miss Lorna, you are" Rudy Boye was about to get up, but she gently raised her hand to stop her.

"I've listened to Jamila tell me. The girl's voice was weak, and it looked like her body was now weak, "Everyone should prepare for the worst." Fort Radogir has fallen, but you still have a chance to get out of here alive, and I have made arrangements for that. ”

"Arrangement??" everyone present looked at each other.

"I hope you will act according to my arrangement when the time comes. ”

As all the Vicchian troops had left the forest of Radogil, Fatis glanced back at the fortress behind him, where the banner of a black lion on a red background fluttered overhead.

"They all left. Haraus looked at the figure on the lord's seat with a calm expression.

The whole hall was full of Svadians with swords drawn and bows drawn, but in the face of a frail maiden, they were helpless, and a dagger glowing with cold light was held in a slender hand. And the sharp blade was against her white neck. The king had never expected such a scene before, so when the girl offered to let go all the Vecchian defenders of Fort Radogir. He could only nod wordlessly.

"So, do what you're supposed to do. Throwing away the dagger in her hand, Lorna lost the last of her strength and lay down in the wide seat.

The surrounding soldiers gathered around her and pulled her down from her seat

"What do we do now?"

At some point, Alleyne appeared behind Fatis on horseback.

"I honestly don't know," the middle-aged man tapped his forehead with his knuckles. sighed. "Let's withdraw to Zhivadine with the army first, we can't save Lorna from Harlaus."

Jamila stole and watched them uneasily from a short distance, while Besture and Artiman were with Rudy Boye in front of them. There was no more joy on the faces of the soldiers at the miraculous rescue, and the reason why the king of Swadia had let them go seemed to have spread among the army

After being dragged out of the castle by Haraus, the girl was put in a narrow iron cage - it is said that she was taken from the dungeon of Radogil, carried by a carriage, and carried with the army to the next destination, Suno, the hinterland of the Swadia kingdom.

Count Craggs, the lord of Suno, was a cousin of King Haraus (it is not impossible judging from the similarity of the banner and coat of arms to more than 90 percent), and he is considered the most trusted nobleman of Haraus in all of Swadia. In fact, the king was originally going to go to the nearby city of Decherim, but considering the unfriendly relationship between Sir Claes and the king, he eventually dismissed this idea.

Lorna is trapped in a cage wearing a single suit. When the injury was not healed, he was blown by the cold wind of Virgia and had a fever again. Haraus was reluctant to deal with a traitor like her, and the king did not even look at her after speaking to her in the halls of Fort Radogir. It was the female assassin who wounded him that night.

But even if you use a reluctant eye. This female killer can hardly be described as pretty. Lorna looked at her face through the bars - now she didn't pull her hood so low - Kress had higher cheekbones and slightly yellow skin, and looked a bit of Kugit blood, but he had a good figure. Even if his face is not as eye-catching as Yamila's, his proud breasts alone make many young soldiers around him can't help but look sideways

At dinner, Kress threw half of a roasted rabbit to her through the railing.

"Can you eat this?" the female killer asked casually, and then gnawed on half of the one in her hand.

Lorna took a small bite to tear off the meat on the rabbit's leg, to be honest, she should still be eating oatmeal at the moment, but the current situation is not up to her to choose, fortunately, her health is not bad, even if it is like this, there will be no problems.

"I gave you that sword of yours to your king, and you won't hate me. ”

"That's what he is. The girl sighed quietly.

It didn't take much for Kress to gnaw off a rabbit leg, and seeing that Lorna was still eating little by little, he talked a little more:

"I hit this rabbit with a throwing knife, how about it, it's good. ”

"It's okay, I've tried it before, when I was a kid, I would occasionally sneak out and use some hidden weapons to get some game and come back. Maybe it's because of similar professions, the two unexpectedly have a common topic.

"Is it true that the methods of the secret keepers are so godly?"

"I wouldn't be here if there were gods, but I guess it's not bad. Lorna knew that she couldn't say that she was good at kung fu in front of Cress, but she didn't want to admit that she was worse than her.

The female killer licked her fingertips after eating the rabbit meat, shook her head and lay down on the grass, and asked, "Who are you the uncle who appeared upstairs that night?"

"The companions I met in the Woche were mercenaries together because we had nothing to do. The girl felt that there was nothing to hide from such things.

"Oh, I thought it was your sweetheart. Kress said unhurriedly, gritting his teeth.

"Ha???" Lorna's first reaction when she heard this was that the woman in front of her had her brain caught in the door.

"Originally, I didn't feel like there was anything to take advantage of when I fought you head-on, but as soon as that uncle showed his face, you started to panic, and it was not okay to be a killer. Speaking of which, Kress seems to have begun to preach with a kind of senior attitude.

"Say whatever you want, just don't think it's my sweetheart. The girl gave her a blank look.

"What's the matter, isn't there a girl who likes that kind of bearded man these days? Maybe that uncle is a good person. ”

"Shut up, you're annoyed!"

"Ahh But don't let that dead old man of Ramon see yours, that guy likes to play with fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls the most. Kress teased her half-seriously and half-jokingly.

"Ahhh

"The dead old man took Harlaus a lot of money and promised to find a way to get you back to him, so I came, and you know the rest."

About a month after the fall of Fort Radogir, King Swadia's army finally made its way through the bandit-infested plains to Suno.

"That girl is in charge of you, and when I come back in three months, I want to get what I want. ”

Unexpectedly uninterested in interrogating his former right-hand man, Haraus, led the city's knightly forces to Fort Rendee on the third day of his arrival in Suno.

Ramón, a slave trader, was a master of torture, but Calradia's most shrewd spy was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Lorna pretended to be half-dead every time she received a few lashes, and even the experienced jailers in the dungeon did not dare to do so, for fear that a few lashes would kill the sick girl, after all, their king would have to get something out of her mouth alive. So after nearly a week, the girl basically didn't suffer any great grievances, except for the place where she lived and the food conditions were not very good.

Ramon knew it, but he was too old to give it to Kress. As a result, Kress now enjoys every day by going to the dungeon to chat with Lorna and learn skills. The prison days of the keeper of secrets are getting better and better day by day.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Harlaus has led a group of men to the death of the Sultan of Gamiedburg and Hakim, while Suno's side has made no progress at all.

"Speaking of which, you won't be a spy anyway, so it's okay to tell me about the intelligence network of the secret guard. ”

Kress comes over every day to grind hard and soak hard.

Lorna knew that she wasn't there to help Ramon, and that Cress's greatest trait was her curiosity.

"Forget it, if I do, Haraus doesn't think I need to live. (To be continued......)
