On the top of the fort.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the surroundings fell into a dead silence, with only the occasional sound of the wind and the heavy breathing of Ashilan intertwined.
After an unknown amount of time, Ashilan suddenly punched the wall next to him with all his strength like an angry beast.
With a loud "bang", a deep blood mark appeared on the wall in an instant, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
At the same time, Ashilan's resolute face had long been drowned in tears. He cried bitterly and kept muttering to himself:
"Woo... Boss... It's all my fault. I hurt them. If I could be more cautious and not so reckless at the time, I wouldn't be discovered by those riders..."
"Boss... It's all my fault..."
Looking at the painful Ashilan in front of him, Hood sighed slightly, and then said solemnly: "Ashilan, now is not the time for you to be sad. The enemy is coming soon. You are right to be like this. "Remember those dead companions!"
"Stand up!!!"
Hod's eyes widened suddenly, his face became extremely gloomy, and he suddenly shouted: "Are you going to keep crying like this? Can you avenge those dead companions with these useless tears!!!"
When Asilan heard this, his body trembled slightly. He sobbed and gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, revenge, I must make those riders pay with blood..."
Accompanied by Asilan's low muttering, he slowly stood up from the ground.
His eyes were no longer as confused and helpless as before, but full of hatred, and the burning rage seemed to devour everything in front of him.
Seeing this, Hood stepped forward, patted Ashilan's shoulder gently, and then lowered his voice and said, "Let's go, follow me to the reception room and tell everyone about it."
After hearing this, Ashilan was silent for a moment, and then nodded vigorously.
Hood turned his head to look at the two senior robbers beside him, and ordered seriously: "You two stay here and pay close attention to the movements around you. If there is any abnormality, report to me immediately!"
"Yes, leader!" The two responded in unison, and lowered their heads at the same time to show that they obeyed the order.
After the explanation, Hood took a big step and walked downstairs.
Ashilan clenched his fists tightly, and his joints turned white due to excessive force. He followed Hood silently, and with every step he took, his anger increased by one point.
At the same time, in the reception room in the castle, Paul had already gathered all the other people in the manor here.
Ever since Hood left the reception room with a gloomy face and without saying a word, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
In addition, when he saw Ashilan, who was out to investigate the news, running to the top of the fort in a mess, he felt that the situation was serious, so he made a prompt decision and immediately notified Kuhn, Monkron and other robbers to come and meet up.
"Boss!"
"Leader!"
Seeing Hood's arrival, the robbers in the reception room spoke up, but after seeing Ashilan following behind, their expressions changed.
Hood nodded slightly, strode to the main seat and sat down, then turned his head and looked at Ashilan who was standing: "Tell them the news."
After hearing this, Ashilan seemed to have lost all his strength, and slowly raised his head that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
His eyes were dim, his face was full of fatigue and pain, his lips trembled, and he began to tell the terrifying experience today.
"Everything was fine when we went out to explore, and we thought we would come back after the exploration... But halfway... we were eventually caught up by them... In the end... I was the only one who escaped back..." At this point, Ashilan's voice became lower and lower, as weak as a candle in the wind, almost inaudible.
When he finished this last sentence, he seemed to be a deflated ball, his head drooped again, and never raised it again.
Suddenly, a loud "bang" startled everyone in the living room. Batu was furious, his eyes wide open, and he slammed his hands heavily on the long table in front of him, shaking everything on the table.
"Ashilan, you coward! You actually abandoned your brothers and ran away alone!!!" Batu roared angrily, and his voice exploded in the room like thunder.
Ashilan's body trembled violently, but he still lowered his head, not daring to look up at Batu, and did not make any rebuttal.
He just silently clenched his hands tighter. Perhaps because he was too tight, his nails dug deep into his palms. Blood oozed out from between his fingers, drop by drop.It dripped onto the ground, forming a small piece of dark red blood.
Hod, who was sitting in the main seat, watched this scene, frowning tightly, his face gloomy and frightening, and shouted loudly: "Batu, shut up! Sit down immediately!"
Batu turned his head and instinctively opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw the icy cold on Hod's face, he swallowed the words back.
Although he was still indignant in his heart, he gritted his teeth and sat back on the chair reluctantly.
"Monklon, how many enemies are there?" After Batu sat steadily on the chair, Hod looked at Monklon, who was bowing his head, and asked.
Hearing Hod's question, Monklon slowly raised his head. His face was solemn, and his lips slightly opened: "According to what I have observed, there are about a thousand enemies attacking this time."
When Monklon said this number, the originally quiet reception room suddenly exploded.
Everyone present couldn't help but tense up, with surprise and worry on their faces, and many people even gasped.
They knew very well that at present, the total number of all the people who could participate in the war in the entire manor, even including the captives, was only a little over 200.
However, the number of enemy troops they faced was more than five times that of their own!
Even Hood, who had always remained calm, subconsciously narrowed his eyes after hearing this astonishing number.
The number of this enemy force was really far beyond his previous expectations!
Originally, he thought that even if Rhine Town used all its strength to send troops to encircle and suppress, at most it could only send a team of 600 to 700 people.
But now it seems that the situation is much more serious than he imagined...
