Chapter 24: The Fall of Fort Lorraine

"Hmm..." Count Lorraine yawned, turned over, and quickly fell asleep again. It could be seen that he was really tired during this period.

Suddenly his brows furrowed, and his expression became a little ferocious, as if he was having some kind of nightmare, but he relaxed quickly and slowly, as if he was very satisfied.

"Clang..."

"It's the damn Rensi people. Oh my god, how could they come out of the ground!"

"It's witchcraft, it must be witchcraft! The people of Rensi have help from wizards, help!"

At this time, noisy sounds came from outside the tower, steel was colliding, soldiers were shouting, and the sound of flames burning wooden beams could be heard faintly.

"Um?"

Count Lorraine's brows that had relaxed just now furrowed again, he opened his eyes suddenly and sat up.

He rubbed his still groggy eyes. He had a good dream just now. He dreamed that the Earl of Lens's army was beaten to a pulp by him, and finally fled in despair, and he captured Lens.

Fort...

"Salm... Salm! What happened? Why is it so noisy outside!" Count Lorraine shouted dissatisfied. He was sleeping soundly, but he was woken up now. It was strange that he could be happy.

But no one responded to him, and Salm didn't know where he went.

Count Lorraine shook his head and was about to walk to the door. At this moment, Salm rushed in with a panicked face.

"Your Majesty Earl... Your Majesty Earl... It's not good! Something serious has happened! Cough cough..." Salm was too hasty and choked himself, coughing desperately.

"What's the big deal? If you're impatient, let's talk about it properly." Count Lorraine shouted in a low voice. He didn't like the look of the people under his command.

Salm finally calmed down and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the people from Lens...are the people of Lens, they have invaded!"

The Count of Lorraine felt like he was struck by lightning, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Salm, are you kidding me! How could the Rensi people break in? They can't even break through the walls of Lorraine Castle!" the Count of Lorraine shouted.

No one knows better than him how strong the defenses formed by the walls and towers of Lorraine Castle are. Otherwise, Sir Charles and the others would not have been forced back before. This is the result of the efforts of the Liman family for several generations.

.

"It's true, Earl, they didn't attack the city wall, they went around it directly, they dug a tunnel!" Salm almost burst into tears, the fighting scene was really terrifying.

"What? Authentic?" Count Lorraine was stunned.

"Yes, tunnel, they just came out of the ground, and the exit of their tunnel is very tricky. It happens to be a place where our defense is weak. By the time our army rushes over, most of them have already rushed up. We

It can't be stopped at all." Salm said tremblingly.

"Authentic...authentic..." Count Lorraine murmured. At this moment, he could clearly hear the sound of fighting coming from outside the tower. He understood that Salm did not deceive him. The other party really came in, and it was not far away from here.

The tower is not far away...

"Trash, you are really a bunch of trash! You didn't even notice that the enemy dug a tunnel!" Count Lorraine's eyes were red. Their Lorraine Castle was invaded by the opponent like this. He would be furious if he didn't feel angry.

Salm also had an aggrieved look on his face, but he did not dare to touch the current Earl of Lorraine's troubles. He just said: "Your Majesty, let's run away quickly, or else..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by Count Lorraine.

"Escape? This is the Lorraine Castle of my Liman family! I'm not going anywhere. Although they have attacked, but they want my Lorraine Castle to fall? It's not that easy!" Earl Lorraine almost shouted.

With these words, he turned around, put on his plate armor, and drew out his long sword. His momentum suddenly became high.

"Hahahaha, Count Lorraine is so courageous. He actually wants to resist in such a situation." At this moment, Sir Charles's strong laughter came from outside the door. In just a moment, Sir Charles appeared with Karl and others.

In front of the Count of Lorraine.

The Earl of Lorraine was shocked. He did not expect that the other party would be so fast. He quickly took a stance, holding the long sword tightly in his hand, ready to cut it down at any time.

"Lord Earl, I think there is no need for us to confront each other with swords to avoid hurting your noble body. Perhaps you can choose to surrender. We will definitely abide by the noble code, provide you with fair treatment, and allow you to pay the ransom." See you.

The opponent was fully armed. Ciel pondered for a moment and said slowly that although he was not afraid of the opponent, there was no need to fight a warrior wearing plate armor.

"Well, no one in the Liman family has surrendered without a fight, little bastard, I want to see how capable you are!" Count Lorraine snorted coldly, completely ignoring Sir Charles's "kindness".

As for Salm, he was already petrified and hid behind him without daring to move, fearing that the swords in their hands would cut him.

"Well, since the earl is so insistent, then I will grant you your wish!" Seeing that the other party was determined, Sir Charles did not force it.

Karl and some surrounding nobles slowly drew out their weapons, preparing to take action with Sir Charles to take down the opponent.

"You guys stand down and let me fight him alone." Unexpectedly, Sir Charles turned away Carl and others and wanted to fight Count Lorraine one on one.

"Lord Charles, this is not allowed! If... if..." The expressions of the surrounding nobles changed drastically. They did not dare to agree to this. The war has reached this point, and it can be said that the Earl of Lorraine has been forced to a dead end.

Once a person is cornered, he or she becomes a lunatic. There is no guarantee that the Count of Lorraine might have done something to bring Sir Charles to justice here. They will not be able to explain it to the Count of Lens when they go back.

"This is a duel between nobles. It symbolizes our glory. No one can interfere! Count Lorraine, do you dare to have a glorious duel with me?" Sir Charles insisted on going his own way and refused to listen to any advice.

.

Hearing Sir Charles talk about the glory of the nobles, the nobles said nothing more. In this era, many nobles regard glory as more important than their own lives. The other party has already proposed that this is a battle of glory.

If you try to dissuade me again, you will offend others.

"Hahahahahaha, little guy from the Chris family, since you have issued a challenge, I will naturally accept it. Come on, let's have a game!" Of course, Count Lorraine had no reason to refuse, and unknowingly he was

Sir Charles's address was gentler, and it was obvious that he was very fond of Sir Charles's actions.

"Then let's begin!" Sir Charles took a stance, inheriting his father's eagle-like eyes and staring at the opponent sharply, looking for opportunities.

"Nice eyes." Count Lorraine praised him and took a corresponding posture. Although he has experienced many battles and can definitely be regarded as brave, he still has to be prepared. After all, he is old. Although he is very unlucky.

He is willing to admit that his body is getting worse every year, and he may not return to the embrace of God one day. Sir Charles is still very young, and he can't help but feel envious of his strong body.

"Drink!" Sir Charles shouted and took the lead in launching the attack. The swords of both sides collided with each other, and the sound was clear and loud.

At first they were evenly matched, but gradually, Count Lorraine seemed to be a little out of his depth.

Under the helmet, what everyone couldn't see was that Count Lorraine's forehead was already covered with sweat at this moment, and he even felt faintly dizzy.

"Damn it, this kid's swordsmanship is pretty good, he can compete with his father!" Count Lorraine cursed in his heart. When he was young, Count Lens was also a master of swordsmanship, and now it is obvious that his son has also inherited it.

got this point.

"ha!"

With a beautiful exchange, the duel came to an end. Sir Charles won the victory with an absolute advantage, but Count Lorraine could only stand there blankly.

For a moment, he felt a little sad. His own era was gone forever. He used to be able to fight each other tit for tat with the Earl of Lens, but now he actually lost to the boy of the Chris family. It was really unpredictable.

.

As for Karl and others who were watching the game, they breathed a long sigh of relief. Sir Charles was not injured and won the victory, which is undoubtedly a good thing.

"My Lord Earl, you have lost!" Sir Charles said in a deep voice.

Count Lorraine was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile, and said slowly: "Yes, I lost, I surrender. Congratulations on your great victory. I only hope that you can do it for me and my family."

My son will provide us with fair treatment that is consistent with our status."

Hearing the Earl of Lorraine personally admit defeat, Sir Charles smiled on his face, and the nobles on the Earl of Lens' side also showed joy.

"My Lord Earl, you can rest assured that as an honorable nobleman, this is what I should do." Sir Charles nodded, dispelling Earl Lorraine's concerns.

"Can you tell me who came up with your authentic method? If it hadn't been for this authentic method, maybe I wouldn't have lost at all this time!" To everyone's surprise, the Count of Lorraine actually asked after admitting defeat.

From this question, it can be seen that he is still worried about this matter.

"Ha, of course, this tunnel is exactly what Sir Carl Dias next to me thought of." Sir Charles patted Carl on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"What? Sir Carl Dias?" Unexpectedly, when he heard this name, Count Lorraine was stunned, and then slowly closed his eyes.

"I didn't expect it to be you again..." Count Lorraine said painfully, and then said no more.

Karl was a little embarrassed. He didn't doubt why the other party knew about him. He was just kidding. He captured more than a dozen of the other party's knights and ruined the other party's plan to plunder food. The other party didn't remember him until he was a ghost...
