"The major and captain are still waiting for us."

The captain stepped forward, and suddenly felt that his feet were tightly stuck to something.

His foot was only raised a little, and it seemed as if it was pulled hard by something, almost falling to the ground.

"Hurry up and help me, something seems to be grabbing my foot."

The "farmer" beside him quickly stretched out his hand to help him.

"Captain Shepherd, it's not like you stole some wine before setting off, but you're still dating a woman on the farm!"

"Stop talking nonsense and give me a hand."

The two of them exerted force together, but the force that grabbed Shepherd's foot was very strong.

Since both of them put all their strength on it, they couldn't release his feet.

"Damn, what's going on?"

Shepherd felt that the things under his feet were sticky and seemed to be something like resin.

Someone behind me shouted, "What the hell are these!"

At this time, his companion who was supporting him shouted loudly.

"Captain, I can't move my feet either. Something pierced the sole of my foot. It hurts so much!"

Between firing a warning shot or striking a match, Shepherd chose to touch the match.

Rather than talk about some misunderstanding and being ridiculed by his colleagues in the future, he decided to see what he encountered.

Maybe just a few frightened venomous snakes.

But just as Shepherd's hand took out the match, he didn't have time to take out a match from the matchbox.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp stabbing pain coming from the soles of his feet.

This stinging pain instantly drained all the strength from his body.

Immediately afterwards, a cold and evil aura flowed into his body from the wound under his feet like an electric shock.

Shepherd didn't even have time to scream, as all the nerves and muscles in his body were paralyzed.

At this moment, he couldn't even move the tips of his fingers or his eyebrows, but his whole body felt sharper than ever.

Shepherd could even hear the breathing of all his comrades in the woods, so he was sure that everyone was still alive.

But everyone was invaded by that inexplicable thing and their bodies were controlled.

There seemed to be something swimming fast on the ground covered with leaves and weeds around the body.

There was a constant "rustling" sound among the leaves and weeds.

Those cold things were flowing into his body little by little along the wounds on the soles of his feet.

It reminded Shepherd of a piece of meat being skewered on a steel drill.

And he and the entire advance team he led were the pieces of meat that were being pierced one by one with a steel drill.

Everyone felt that after those things entered their bodies, they were eroding their flesh and blood at an extremely fast rate.

The smell of blood and a fishy smell filled the nostrils of everyone in the woods.

Not long after, the sound of neat footsteps resounded in the woods again.

These footsteps are so uniform that if you have excellent hearing, you can distinguish all the sounds.

You will be surprised to find that these steps are incredibly neat.

It's like there is a person with twenty-two legs, controlling them to walk out step by step at the same time.

Those footsteps walked through leaves and weeds towards the castle.

As time passed, the smell of blood gradually disappeared.

But the disgusting smell became even denser.

About ten minutes later, the remaining ninety fully armed farmers came here.

"Why does it smell so bad here? Has someone done something bad? Be careful and don't step on that kind of thing."

"Those guys in front of you must have encountered something, right? I heard that some very strange things happened on the beach."

"It should be fine. If anything happens, they will definitely fire a warning shot."

"This is a forced march, and no one is allowed to speak casually."

After all, they are well-trained disciplined troops. The team immediately fell silent, leaving only the sound of dense footsteps.

Another hundred armed servants have also arrived at the castle.

Butler Bear and Contense were both absent, so the Baron had to personally arrange for these people to carry out security or patrol tasks in various locations in the castle.

The Baron had been staying in the living room of the central tower with Barrett and Pankov, originally to wait for the arrival of this group of people.

There are no less than ten windows around the central tower hall, and these windows have all been opened.

So the smoke in the hall has almost dissipated, at least to the extent that normal people can breathe.

The Baron stood up: "Everyone, let's go back to sleep while it's still dark. We have to talk to His Highness tomorrow and meet the guy sent by the alliance."

Barrett and Panklov stood up together, and the three of them were about to leave.

With a "squeak" sound, the door leading to the east tower was opened.

In the sound of footsteps, the Baroness, Butler Hu, Candy, and then four servants walked into the hall.

After taking a look at the middle-aged men looking over here, the Baroness stopped.

She turned back to Candy and said: "Miss Mary, let's put it aside for the time being. We can talk about it some time tomorrow. Now you can go back to your room."

"Okay madam, as you wish"

After the Baroness finished saying what she wanted to say, she had no intention of waiting for Candy's answer.

Before Candy could speak, she was already walking towards the door leading to the southern tower.

"Miss Mary" saluted the Baroness and then walked cautiously towards the door leading downstairs.

Her steps were very cautious, like a cat, and she didn't even make a sound.

The originally charming Miss "Mary" was in this room and was suppressed by the Baroness in every aspect.

It was as if she suddenly lost all her luster and had no sense of existence.

So everyone in the room ignored her presence and turned their attention to the Baroness.

In front of the door leading to the southern tower, stood two Royal Guardsmen with rifles in their hands.

They saw the Baroness walking towards this side, nervously clenched their rifles, and looked at Colonel Barrett together.

The soldiers knew their duties and the lady's identity, so they were now in a dilemma.

Barrett sighed and waved his hands at them.

The two soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back together to let the door open.

The Baroness continued towards the door.

When she was still three or four steps away from the door.

The baron strode up to his wife: "Madam, it's so late, where are you going?"

The Baroness stopped and looked at her husband.

"Huntington, I heard that the lady is not sleeping yet. I'm going to greet her."

"It's so late, don't bother that noble lady."

While speaking, the Baron looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Miss "Mary".
