Lord Highlander

The knights of the support squadron ignored the obstruction of the manor guards, knocked down two guards with their sword hilts, and forcibly rushed into Grenfell Manor.

Mrs. Grenfell was pale with anger, and she could barely stand still with the support of the housekeeper and maid. A group of guards in the manor were pushed away by the knights of the guard battalion. Standing up behind him, he rushed directly in front of the knight in the guard battalion, knocking the knight in metal armor like a bull.

The two squadron leaders in the guard battalion immediately pulled out their long crimson swords from their waists, and ran towards the guards in the manor. He aimed at the guards in the manor, and only waited for Captain Sauron's order to shoot and kill those guards who dared to resist.

"Enough! Edgar, stand down!"

Mrs. Grenfell yelled at the head of the bodyguard:

"Stop shedding innocent blood."

Hearing Mrs. Grenfell's order, the head of the bodyguard immediately stopped, threw the short stick in his hand on the ground, and spread his hands.

The guard battalion knights who were knocked to the ground angrily got up from the ground, one of them skilfully took out a rope from his arms, and they all rushed up together, and tied the guard named Edgar tightly. Really tied up.

Captain Sauron waved his hand and asked the knights around the manor to put away their alloy bows. Seeing that the danger was over, some guards of the manor came out of the bushes. They all raised their hands to express their disapproval will make any resistance. On the contrary, the strong head of the bodyguard, even though he was tied up with ropes, was still dishonest. He was knocked to the ground by the four guard battalion knights with a mace, and his forehead and left arm were smashed to pieces by the mace.

Karl came to Mrs. Grenfell's side, expressed his apology to her, and then waved to the knights under him. The knights in the support squadron entered Grenfell Manor one after another, and started searching.

Since the knights of the support squadron have been guarding outside Grenfell Manor for more than a month, the most talked about is speculation about the use of many buildings in the manor. Now that they have the opportunity to reveal the answer, the knights of the support squadron can't wait Run over and check those buildings. .

The group of children in Grenfell Manor were very sensible. They were shivering in the cold wind, their faces turned blue, but they still didn't say a word.

Angrily, Mrs. Grenfell was helped by the housekeeper and maid to rest in the hall on the first floor of the villa. Eleven noble children followed Mrs. Grenfell dully into the hall, like wooden sculptures. Standing behind Mrs. Grenfell, there was neither anger nor sadness on their faces, as if they had been silenced.

Mrs. Grenfell also showed indifference to the group of children, but her eyes frequently fell on the head of the personal guard who was covered in bruises.

Suldak noticed that her hands were tightly clenched into fists, with long nails digging into her palms, and some fingernails had turned bright red.

Carl went straight to the kitchen of the manor house and found the entrance to a basement. A group of knights surrounded the door with swords and shields. Karl ordered the pale butler, "Open this basement."

The butler didn't dare to disobey Karl's order, and took out a bunch of copper keys from his waist without saying a word, and opened the big wooden door of the basement. With a wink, a knight first threw a torch into the basement, and the flickering torch was thrown into the basement, and there was a clear landing sound.

The basement was very quiet. A bold knight held up a shield with both hands and bravely walked in through the door. After a while, the knight's voice came from the basement: "My lord, there is nothing inside."

Karl's expression changed slightly, he exchanged glances with Suldak, and then led them into the basement.

The basement of Grenfell Manor was actually empty. In such a large basement, not only was there no sign of a robber, but there were no sundries or supplies. echo.

In this basement, Karl could not find any traces of people living in it. He walked up from the basement without saying a word, and the knight commanders of other teams came one after another. Beside Karl, Karl asked: "Storage room, water prison , the stables, how about the animal pens?"

"Nothing was found either." Several knight commanders replied one after another.

The search warrant issued by the Hailansa Council was based on the clue that Grenfell Manor was hiding a gang of robbers. If this bandit gang could not be found in the manor, not only would Karl be in big trouble, but even the guard camp would be changed. They were extremely passive. This search operation was an application made by Karl, and many strong evidences were also issued by Karl. Originally, everyone was just waiting to rush into the manor and pull these robbers out of the basement.

But now it seems that things are not so simple.

Carl looked at the knights, and even Jasper's complexion was very ugly at the moment, Carl said in a deep voice, "Follow me to the castle tower to have a look."

The knights of the guard battalion wanted to search the upper floor of the castle, and drove all the maids and servants in the castle to the hall on the first floor. Except for the head of the guard who was beaten black and blue, none of these servants were too conspicuous. There is no murderous look in the eyes, and there are no calluses on the inner sides of the legs caused by riding a horse for a long time. It is impossible for them to hide and change their identities.

Viscount Sauron was sitting in the hall of the champion's castle, and the atmosphere in the hall was freezing cold.

Mrs. Grenfell stared coldly at the guard knights in the hall without saying a word. The eleven children behind her simply lowered their heads. A row of maids and a row of servants including cooks, gardeners, grooms and gardeners After separating the left and right sides, not long after, the knights of the support squadron ran down from upstairs and said to Karl:

"Captain Karl, no suspicious robbers were found upstairs!"

Karl frowned slightly. The inside and outside of Grenfell Manor had been searched, but there was not even a shadow of a robber. Probably all the knights in the support squadron were filled with question marks: "Why? Will this happen? '

At this time, Mrs. Grenfell, who had been sitting in the castle hall, suddenly raised her head, with a sly look in her eyes, and a look of incomparable resentment on her face, she screamed at Captain Sauron: "I I will go to Consul Christie to complain about your atrocities, and I will definitely sue you bastards."

Captain Sauron raised his head and glanced at Madam Grenfell with disdain, then stared at Karl sternly. He told him: "Since there is no room for turning things around, Karl, why are you still standing here? Search again carefully, and dig three feet today to find these robbers..."

"Obey, Captain Sauron!" Karl gave a knight's salute, and immediately strode out of the castle hall.

Suldak followed Karl, turned around and walked outside with Karl. At this time, Mrs. Grenfell was staring at the magic belt on Suldak's waist. , the hatred in his eyes was hard to hide.

Suldak stopped walking as if aware of it. He turned his head to look at Mrs. Grenfell, and found that she was sitting on the sofa, looking straight ahead, as if she hadn't moved at all.

...

Karl and the ten captains of the support squadron came outside the castle, and searched the buildings around the castle carefully again, and it seemed that the robbers had never appeared in this manor at all.

At this time, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter, and the expressions on their faces were not very good-looking, and they all had a strong smell of gunpowder when they spoke to their subordinates.

Carl sat on the stone platform by the pool in the manor square, patted his forehead vigorously, and said to everyone: "Maybe our thinking is not right, after all, there are so many robbers, it is impossible to disappear out of thin air."

In the past month, Jasper has been staring at Greenfield Manor for more than half a month, and he has provided several strong evidences.

At this time, he also knew that if these robbers could not be found out, what kind of serious consequences would await them, and his face became more and more gloomy.

"Is there a detailed delivery list for Grenfell Manor?" Suldak asked suddenly.

"Here I am!"

A team leader quickly took out a sheepskin book from his pocket and handed it to Suldak.

Suldak carefully flipped through the sheepskin book. When he first started monitoring Grenfell Manor, the data on the sheepskin book hardly changed, but gradually decreased later on. Suldak frowned and said: "I think we have overlooked a problem. The food demand in Grenfell Manor seems to have been decreasing recently. It seems that no supplies have been sent to the castle in the past few days. So those robbers should have been gradually transferred out."

Hearing what Suldak said, several captains in the support squadron couldn't help but patted their chests and said, "Our people have been staring at this place, unless we chop them into pieces, it's all like this." They can't escape our sight..."

Karl suddenly widened his eyes at this time, as if he remembered something, he waved his hand, and said to the surrounding squad leaders: "Wait, chop it into pieces, maybe the answer is here, these bandits are probably dead gone."

"...and was chopped into pieces of meat. Just now I wondered why there are so many bloodstains on the meat table in the kitchen storage room. It's like a slaughterhouse. All the meat in Grenfell Manor comes from the farm outside. There is no need for on-site slaughter at all, so so many bloodstains are likely to belong to those robbers, we should go there to look for it." Jasper continued next to him.

Carl said to a small team leader: "Go outside the manor and bring in two hounds, maybe they will tell us the answer."

A group of knights from the support squadron hurried in from outside the hall with two hunting dogs, and walked straight to the kitchen behind the castle. The knights' footsteps were very firm, which attracted the maids and servants to look at these knights frequently.

During the search just now, Suldak didn't come to the kitchen, but just stood at the basement entrance outside the kitchen for a while. At this time, after he walked into the kitchen, he found something was wrong, because The kitchen of the castle was actually filled with the smell of human blood. This familiar smell Suldak had tasted on the battlefield of Moyun Ridge, and those not-so-good memories made him incomparably deep.

He blocked his uncomfortable nose with the back of his hand, walked into the blood-stained storage room, and saw a row of pork hanging on the meat hooks on the shelf in the storage room, and some pork was also facing the meat table beside it Wagyu beef, the meat table and the ground in the storage room were covered with blood stains, and even the surrounding walls were spattered with blood stains. Apparently, the knights thought that these blood stains belonged to the slaughtered animals.

After Suldak sneezed fiercely, he immediately withdrew from the storage room and whispered in Karl's ear, "It's human blood..."

The two thin-waisted hounds entered the storage room, sniffed around, and then pulled the dog-leading knight towards the wooden door on the other side. It was also inspected just now, and it seemed to be a woodshed. It was full of firewood, and the two hounds were outside the woodshed and barking inside.

Karl and a group of knights exchanged glances, and immediately some knights escorted the frightened cook and servants into the woodshed, and ordered them: "Move these firewood away..."

Under the force of the sword, the firewood in the firewood room was quickly cleared out, but in the room full of firewood, there were still many bloody footprints that were too late to clean up. There was a black iron door on one side of the wall. The blood on the door had almost completely dried up, and when the cooks saw the big iron door again, their bodies collapsed like mud. No matter how urged by the knights of the guard battalion, they were unwilling to take a step closer to the door. .

To be cautious, Karl did not open the gate without authorization, but let his knights guard here. He went directly to the castle hall, stood in front of Captain Sauron, and said, "Captain Sauron, we are behind the kitchen." A secret passage was found in the firewood room, something is wrong with this secret passage, I would like to invite..."

Before Karl could finish speaking, Grenfell, who was originally pale, instantly became bloodless. Her eyes widened, and the blue eyes quickly turned into black. She suddenly stood up from the sofa, and quickly Unfolding a magic scroll, a brief spell activated the scroll, and a huge magic circle emerged from the scroll, and that scroll instantly turned into a black breath, and then dissipated in the air.

'Binding Dafa'

Everyone, including Captain Sauron, was bound by a shadow ribbon in the castle hall at this moment, unable to move at all.

The head of the bodyguard also suddenly jumped up on the spot, breaking the ropes tied to his body. His body soared to a height of nearly three meters, and he twisted off the heads of the four knights who were guarding him. On the wall of the hall, he got a shield in the shape of a door panel, and a large number of black magic patterns burst out of his body in an instant, and he strode towards Mrs. Grenfell.

Mrs. Grenfell took out a magic wand from her bosom, a black eye was impressively tattooed on that arm, a book of black magic floated in front of her, her eyes were fixed on the pages of the book, and she chanted ferociously. lengthy incantation...
