Pankolov was in shock just now, and then he was horrified when soldiers aimed their guns at him.

He remained motionless, staring blankly at Colonel Barrett, whose body was soaked in a pool of blood.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps on the stairs that he woke up from his confusion.

Rushing up the stairs to the roof were a farmer and a servant, both holding rifles in their hands.

As soon as they reached the top of the building, they saw Colonel Barrett lying in a pool of blood.

The two were startled, and the servant asked: "What happened here?"

A Guardsman answered quickly.

"Mr. Major was shot from the woods below. His injuries are serious and he needs immediate treatment."

The servant who asked the question was Juan. He had a high rank among the servants and had rich combat experience.

Originally, he, Hu Quan, and two "farmers" were guarding the door of the temporary ward.

Because Dr. Edward said that good ventilation can help patients recover quickly.

So the second floor of the tower was used as a ward room, with all windows opened.

After the gunshots were fired, one of the lead bullets hit the window frame.

A cloud of sawdust suddenly burst out from the window frame, making a harsh sound at the same time.

Dr. Edward immediately leaned down and looked in the direction of the window.

Juan reacted immediately and ran to the windows first and closed all the windows.

I found the frame of the window where the sawdust had broken out, and found that there was a lead bullet embedded in the window frame.

Juan reopened the window a crack and looked outside the window.

I saw a cloud of smoke rising from the woods not far from the castle.

It's obvious that that's where the lead bullets came from.

Juan widened his eyes and opened the window wider, wanting to see more.

But the dense branches and leaves blocked the view, and the situation under the tree could not be seen from the window.

Juan shouted to the two "farmers" at the door: "Two of you, one of you, come here."

A farmer ran to him quickly,

Butler Hu once ordered all their actions to be directed by two servants.

"You monitor that place from here. If someone shoots at the castle again, fire back immediately."

"Yes, sir"

The "farmer" directly placed the rifle at the crack of the window and aimed at the place where the smoke was rising.

"Doctor, it's safe here. Please take good care of the Baron."

"I'm fine, I've been a military doctor"

Dr. Edward had stood up when Juan closed the windows, and was examining the Baron's body.

Juan nodded to the doctor, walked to the door and asked Hu Quan to guard the door.

He took another "farmer" and ran to the lobby on the first floor.

After confirming that the Baroness and Butler Hu are fine, report the situation in the ward to them.

During this time, more servants and "farmers" came to the hall.

After the Baroness's safety has been adequately guaranteed.

After listening to Juan's report, Butler Hu said: "You two go up to the tower and take a look. There are two gentlemen up there. We can't stay up there any longer. Let them leave first and see if they can do it from up there."

Until this time, most people thought there was only one gunshot and had already found the lead bullet on the window frame.

They did not realize that what they were being hit with was not just a "shot" but a series of shots.

So I didn't realize that someone might be shot.

This is not the first time this has happened. Since then, the conflicts between the constitutionalists and the royalists have become increasingly intensified.

There are also more and more people in the town who cannot find jobs after returning from the city after losing their jobs.

This has happened more than once this year.

Most of them are the drunkards in the town, and sometimes there are guys of unknown origin who seem to be constitutional fanatics.

Some time ago, the castle also shot dead a guy who fired continuously at the castle from the tower.

The guy was later identified as a professional gunman from the Queen City.

Because the accuracy of guns is generally low, after more than 200 meters, there is basically no possibility of hitting the target.

Most of the bullets can't even hit the castle.

Therefore, the castle has never taken these guys seriously.

But no one thought that this time the gunman's technology came from Moxu's leading shooter, and the rifle was also the latest model.

There were also six volleys fired under the control of the same consciousness, all targeting the larger Colonel Barrett.

Each condition improves the accuracy of this shooting, and the superposition of these conditions results in dire consequences.

After Juan asked the Baroness and Butler Hu for permission, he took the "farmer" and ran all the way to the roof.

Originally, Juan came to the stairs to look for the guys who shot from the roof.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the top of the building, he saw Colonel Barrett, who was seriously injured.

"Let's quickly send him to the Baron's ward."

Juan pointed at the soldier who was speaking, "The two of us will send the major down."

Then he said to the farmer next to him: "You also go to the protective wall and don't shoot casually. A search team will be sent out soon."

Juan and the soldiers started to lift Colonel Barrett and walked down the stairs.

He said to Pankolov: "My lord, go downstairs to the living room first. You can't stand here any longer. The gunman may still be hiding in those woods."

The farmer followed Juan's order, lowered his stature, and walked to the parapet wall.

Stay on the rooftop of the tower with the Guards soldier who is hiding behind the wall with his gun raised, aiming his gun downward to remain vigilant about the woods.

Juan once received an order from Butler Hu to prevent the doctor from seeing the guests in the tower as much as possible.

This is also the main reason why Butler Hu asked Barrett and Pankolov to go to the top of the tower.

But under the current circumstances, confidentiality is no longer the most important thing.

If Colonel Barrett is not sent to a doctor immediately, the colonel may die here.

Juan had to disobey the order left by Butler Hu.

When the two men carried Colonel Barrett into the door of the room where the doctor and the baron were staying, they met Butler Hu who was walking up the stairs.

"Who are you carrying and what happened to him?"

Because Barrett's body and face were covered in his own blood, Butler Hu didn't recognize the person they were carrying for a while.

"Ms. Housekeeper, this is Colonel Barrett. He was hit by a lead bullet from outside the castle just now on the roof of the tower. His injuries are very serious and he must be treated as soon as possible."

The person who answered Butler Hu was Pankolov, who followed Hu and the others towards the stairs.

Pankolov finally recovered from his initial panic.

The room which served as the baron's ward had belonged to Lady Mary only one day before.

Originally, the room only had one large bed, but after Major Barrett and Pankolov arrived yesterday.

The servants separated the big bed to make two small beds.
