Chapter 2 The Secret Arsenal

Watching the two servants gallop towards the castle, they disappeared into a forest.

Everyone on the roof cheered, and the goblins were startled by the cheers on the roof.

Just to vent their anger, the goblins threw some axes at the wooden house.

But they stood too far away, and the axes didn't even touch the stone slope.

"Pa" a gunshot sounded from the other side of the woods.

Everyone listened with their ears pricked up, but fortunately no new gunshots were heard.

Three minutes later, another gunshot rang out.

The interval between the two gunshots was three minutes, which was agreed before departure.

This is done to tell the people on this side of the cabin that they have not encountered enemies on the outside.

"Mr. Butler, those goblins are not very good at running. Why don't we put down all the horses like this, then everyone gets on their horses and rushes back to the castle in one go."

He suggested with a loud voice. Apparently many people supported his suggestion and looked at Butler Xiong expectantly.

Butler Xiong is thinking of the right words to persuade these ignorant guys.

The pretty boy explained to him: "There are only two of them, so the goblins did not pursue them with all their strength. More importantly, we cannot be sure that there is no danger between the beach and the castle until they return to the castle smoothly and bring news."

Another "dwarf" interjected: "If I planned this ambush, I would set up an ambush on the hills to cut off the connection between the beach and the castle."

The "Seven Dwarfs" are all top students in the military academy. Many of them will serve as officers in the army in the future and receive systematic military education in the military academy.

After listening to what the two said, he nodded loudly: "What you said makes sense, but I'm not as thoughtful as you are."

The pretty boy punched him on the shoulder: "You should study hard, don't just have strong limbs."

Butler Xiong looked at the pretty boy and the guy who interrupted, and nodded to them.

These two young masters will definitely become good officers in the future.

As for the big voice, if he continues to be so reckless, the most suitable position for him will be the only one in the Expendables.

Xie Sheng felt that he had gained too much limelight today, so he hid far away to reduce his sense of presence.

But someone has been paying attention to him.

"Mr. Pianist, you are the bravest person I have ever met," Elizabeth said as she walked up to him.

"Miss, you are overly praised, and you were very brave today."

"Why don't you just call me Elizabeth!"

"Okay, Miss Elizabeth"

"I want to wait until this matter is over and ask you some piano questions."

"There will be opportunities in the future," Xie Sheng said perfunctorily.

Leah pulled Xiaodie: "Look, that playboy doesn't want to see beautiful women, and Elizabeth. I was planning to make her our friend in vain!"

Xie Sheng saw Leah and Xiaodie looking at him and Elizabeth with unkind expressions.

Quickly find an excuse and get away from Elizabeth.

He would not explain to Xiaodie in front of Leah, otherwise Leah would definitely make things more complicated.

He walked to Butler Bear.

The pretty boy and the big voice have figured out Butler Xiong’s identity and experience before he became a butler.

He was standing next to him with several "dwarves" and asked him about the war.

Butler Bear answered their questions absentmindedly and looked at the goblins on the beach.

Xie Sheng looked at Butler Xiong: "Mr. Butler, we don't seem to have much ammunition left."

He is right, everyone carries a limited amount of ammunition, and a considerable part of it is consumed in fierce battles.

The carriage he abandoned on the hill contained several boxes of fixed gunpowder and lead bullets.

Butler Xiong nodded. He had very little gunpowder and lead bullets left with him.

He said to Xie Sheng: "I just have something to tell you, so come with me."

The two of them walked along the stairs to the first floor, where they came together to the billiards room.

After entering, Butler Xiong closed the thick door and pulled the latch on the door.

Xie Sheng looked at Butler Xiong with a calm face. He did not think that Butler Xiong would be detrimental to him at this time.

Butler Xiong walked to the corner of the billiard room and lifted up a carpet. There was a square floor underneath.

The shape of this floor is somewhat incompatible with the rectangular floors around it.

Butler Xiong clasped his fingers on the floor and lifted it open. A downward staircase appeared in front of him.

He reached out and picked up a candlestick on the table: "Come down with me."

Xie Sheng followed Butler Xiong and walked down the stairs. He found that the stairs were actually made of iron.

He saw that there were stone walls all around, and the stone walls were obviously marked by chisels.

"Is this basement carved out of the stone?"

"Yes, ten masons worked for a year"

"Mr. Butler, there is something I have always wanted to ask."

"What's up?"

"Why has there been no movement from the people on the boat?"

Xie Sheng was referring to the ship not far from the beach.

The boat looked like a fishing boat, and the baron often used it as a pleasure boat, but in fact it was a camouflaged warship.

One of the most powerful ocean-going warships of this era.

If during the previous battle, the warship could open the portholes and launch more than a dozen cannons.

It only took about two or three rounds of shelling, and the goblins on the beach were no longer a problem.

Butler Xiong stopped: "I'm also very surprised about this, but there are goblins over there. I can't contact the people on the boat. And if the people on the boat were okay, they should have heard the gunshots long ago. I think they are very

Something might have happened."

The boat was too far from the beach, and Xie Sheng couldn't let the hunting dogs swim that far.

The hunting dog couldn't swim to the side of the ship and was sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Butler Xiong sighed and continued walking down.

Walking to the end of the stairs, there is a stone room of about ten square meters.

There are no less than twenty muskets hanging on the surrounding walls. Fortunately, these muskets are all of the latest model.

Every gun gleamed in the candlelight, and was covered with a thick layer of grease.

There are dozens of large wooden boxes stacked in the corner opposite the stairs.

Butler Xiong placed the candlestick on a shelf next to the stairs.

"You must not touch the candlestick. If there is a fire inside, not only the two of us, but also the people above will go to heaven together."

Xie Sheng looked at these boxes and secretly clicked his tongue.

If these were gunpowder and lead bullets, it would be enough to fight a small-scale war.

The Baron is truly a terrible man.

Butler Xiong pointed to a wooden box and moved it out, be careful.

Xie Sheng picked up a wooden box and slowly walked up the stairs.

The two men moved out four boxes of gunpowder and two boxes of lead bullets.

Butler Xiong covered the board and blanket again and said to Xie Sheng: "This matter must be kept secret, especially that guy Johnny."

"Yes, Lord Controller"

"I'm letting you know that you are a member of the castle. If anything happens to me, there must be someone here who knows the location of the ammunition depot."
