Chapter 6 The Line of Defense on the Roof
A gust of night wind blew, and a few dim candlelights in the four corners of the hall swayed in the wind.
A trace of elegant firelight is reflected on this black figure.
The first thing I saw were two yellow vertical pupils common to reptiles, and then two dense white tusks.
The fire also attracted the black shadow's attention, and it turned its head in the direction of the fire.
This is an ugly-looking guy, with a pair of green eyes with yellow vertical pupils, a hooked nose, and two long fangs protruding from the corners of his mouth.
The most surprising thing is that there is a pair of black wings on its back.
In addition, it also holds a black steel fork in its hand.
"Tap, tap, tap" the sound of Zai Zai's footsteps approaching from a distance.
The black figure flashed suddenly, melted into the darkness, and disappeared, leaving only a faint stench.
"Did you hear anything just now?"
"There seems to be some, maybe a mouse."
Two servants came down the stairs holding oak sticks in one hand and candlesticks in the other.
Baron Huntington rules a vast and evil territory, and must leave some job opportunities to the people of the territory.
Although many people left the castle to make a living in the city, some people did not want to leave their hometown and preferred to find a job in the castle.
Most of the servants left on the first floor are from the common people, and they do not have the same vigilance and sense of responsibility as the veterans.
Therefore, blaming suspicious noises on rats is also a common excuse used by villagers to be lazy, or it is a certain tradition.
Butler Xiong was on the rooftop looking at the assembled army of dead ghost trolls, dead ghost pirates, and dead ghost goblins.
"What are these things? One thing after another. Aren't we really dreaming today?"
Butler Xiong brought a sailor beside him and whispered softly.
"Major, what are those?" Contants walked out of the stairs and came to Butler Xiong.
"I also want to know. Unfortunately, these are not important now. What is important is that they are about to attack us."
"Did the pianist confess?"
"He has been pretending to be dead and hasn't asked anything. If you authorize me to use a few of his fingers..."
"Forget it, let this matter go for now. Lock him up first and then talk about it later. Deal with those guys outside first."
"I'm afraid we can't lock him up for the time being. The ladies just rushed into the cell."
"I don't care about this anymore." Butler Xiong looked at the dead ghosts on the beach and sighed.
After a brief discussion on the roof, he and Contense quickly made arrangements to deal with the situation.
Of the twelve servants originally brought by Butler Xiong, one was killed and another was seriously injured when they encountered the troll.
Later, the two went back to seek help, and learned from Contense that the two had not returned to the castle and were probably in serious danger.
Two others died while trying to blow up the slope.
Of the eight servants who are still alive, the one who was seriously injured has lost his ability to fight, and there are still seven who can fight.
Of the twenty men brought by Contants, one was killed in the battle on the hill and buried on the spot.
There was also a seriously injured person who was placed on the second floor, staying with another seriously injured person.
The two men now have a total of twenty-five veterans who can participate in the battle.
Compared to the first time we were besieged by the dead goblins, the power available for defense was unprecedentedly powerful.
Apart from their first time, the seven young masters, after a long period of practice, have become extremely skilled at pulling the trigger and shooting.
After all, the five young ladies are women. Besides Leah, they can also do other things like rescuing the wounded.
But it's a pity that a powerful pianist is missing.
Butler Xiong felt that he had been a little hasty and should go back to the castle and arrest Xie Sheng.
Otherwise, I can say a few nice words later and let the pianist trade his strength again.
Butler Xiong and Contense briefly discussed some battle plans.
There are also four servants below, under the command of Johnny Knight, guarding the door of the cabin according to Butler Bear's order.
Johnny can only be used temporarily. In the eyes of Butler Xiong, he is even more unreliable than Xie Sheng.
So Butler Bear kept Johnny on the first floor so that he could monitor the knight's every move from the top of the building.
Now that Lieutenant Contense has arrived and must take back these rights from Johnny, there is no need to continue to keep the knight below.
Butler Xiong asked Contense to bring another servant down.
Contense took over the defense on the first floor and called Johnny up.
There are now twenty veterans left upstairs, and Butler Xiong has arranged for twenty veterans to prepare for staged shooting.
Before interrogating Xie Sheng, he and Contense carried out several more boxes of gunpowder from the secret arsenal in the billiard room.
Suggested by previous blow up ramps and Constance.
He made seven gunpowder flasks from wine bottles found in the room.
The bottle is filled with gunpowder, and a long lead extends from the bottle to the outside.
In an emergency, throwing out these seven gunpowder bottles will definitely play a very big role.
Butler Xiong has completed the preliminary preparations, and those dead ghosts are still arranging the team.
It is not easy to arrange the dead ghost goblins who are always in a mess and try their best to burn off their individuality in an orderly manner.
Looking around the entire rooftop, Butler Xiong always felt that there were a few people missing.
At this time, Johnny came to the top of the building happily.
"Well, Mr. Butler, I heard that some new varieties of those bad things have appeared. Oh my god, what a big guy. Aren't those guys pirates?"
Johnny looked curiously at the guys organizing their formation on the beach.
Soon Mr. Knight made another discovery, and this time his exclamation was louder.
"Where are the ladies? Where have all the ladies gone?"
There was only one noble lady on the entire roof, standing there alone, looking at the gnomes on the beach.
This young lady went to the bathroom and couldn't find her friends. She seemed to be looking for her friends everywhere.
Johnny looked at the lady quietly, "She looks so lonely, so pitiful. Do you want me to accompany her?"
Butler Xiong summoned a veteran: "Tell me where those ladies have gone!"
The veteran said: "Mr. Major, there are two ladies taking care of the injured brother. The eldest lady and the second lady are staying with the spy!"
"Spy?" Johnny looked at Butler Bear curiously.
"Spy?" Butler Xiong himself was a little confused.
The veteran said: "Didn't you say that the piano player is a spy?"
When Johnny heard this, his eyes widened: "Is Xie Sheng a spy? I've long seen that something is wrong with him. I definitely can't trust those black-haired guys!"
"Nonsense, I just said he was a little suspicious. Who said he was a spy!"
Butler Xiong said to the veteran again: "Take another person downstairs with you to see how the pianist and the ladies are doing. Don't let him hurt the ladies. By the way, it's better to bring them all up."
