Black Iron Crown

"So, your name?"

Logan asked the jailer to bring over a chair, sat on it himself, and asked in a kind tone.

"Bell! Sir, my name is Bell!"

Bell replied in a trembling voice, apparently, he hadn't recovered from the fear just now.

"Where do you come from? Who do you serve? What is the reason for coming here? If I find out that you are lying, the punishment just now will be imposed on you!"

Logan's face remained the same, and he still had that peaceful look, but what he said made Bell shudder and tremble all over.

"Please don't do that!" Bell begged.

"Then tell the truth and don't hide anything!" Logan said with a blank expression.

"I'm Bell from Golborg, and I'm serving the baron of Golborg, Robben Gwen. He wants me to come here to look for opportunities to find out the position of the city gate switch, and wants me to quietly attack the city when they attack the city." Open the city gate and let them in!"

"Are you sure you're not lying?" Logan stared firmly into Bell's eyes, putting pressure on him. People usually have some abnormalities when they lie, and as a spy chief, he naturally knows these well.

"Yes my lord, I swear to the Holy Father that I am not lying, everything is true!" Bell shouted.

Logan carefully observed Bell's expression and demeanor when he spoke, and found that he was in a normal state.

"Very good, you have won my trust! Now you don't have to worry about being punished!" Logan said, and hurriedly left the dungeon.

He knew that if this matter was true, he must notify Lord Baron as soon as possible. At this time, there were only less than ten guards and a dozen freemen acting as guards in Fort Moreland at this time, and the defense force was extremely weak. If a baron attacks with all his strength, it will be difficult to defend even with the help of a strong castle.

"Baron! Get on the horse and give this letter to the baron immediately! You must do it as soon as possible! You must let the baron know the news tonight!" Logan said, and immediately went to Reiner's mother, Mrs. Moreland, When the lord is not at home, it is usually the lord's wife who is in charge of the affairs of the territory, and Reiner is still unmarried, so the one who can make the decision is Reiner's mother.

"Dear Madam!" Logan knocked on the door.

After obtaining permission, he entered Mrs. Moreland's room.

"Madam, there is an urgent matter that I must report to you!"

"What happened? Dear Mr. Logan?" Mrs. Moreland asked. He knew that this was the spy chief whom his son accepted. He must have something important to come here.

"That's right, madam, you know that I caught an unidentified person on the city wall today. After my interrogation, he confessed to his actions. He is a spy of the Baron of Golburg, a neighbor to the south of Fort Morland. He's going to open the gates to let them in while Baron Gorburg is attacking our castle!"

"A crisis has appeared before our eyes! The baron led the army to resist the invasion of the Klades in the north, and the enemy does not know when they will come to our territory. We have to organize a tight defense! Because I don't know Do you know if there are other spies lurking in our castle! Madame, I am here hoping to get your cooperation and order the guards to be vigilant!"

Mrs. Moreland nodded after listening. As the wife of the former baroness, she was often responsible for many things. After listening to Logan's words, she also attached great importance to this matter, and responded: "Okay, Mr. Logan, I will Your suggestion ordered the guards to be vigilant, and I also hope that you can control the situation in the castle as much as possible, and don't give others an opportunity!"

Baron is a servant in the castle. His father spent a lot of money to send him to Leiner's castle, hoping that one day he can earn a salary on the battlefield and become a knight.

Even if it's just a knight without a territory.

For ordinary people in this era, even becoming a knight with the lowest title is quite difficult, not to mention that it is similar to Shengxian, but it is definitely far more than ordinary civilians.

Countless free people have sold their properties and put them under the command of nobles or knights, hoping to become a real knight one day.

He was galloping fast on the horse, the howling cold wind pierced through his thick cotton coat and pierced his bone marrow. Although it was extremely cold, he still did not slow down. In his bosom, although he didn't know what was written inside, he knew it must be something vital.

If it can be sent to Reiner's side in time, maybe he can get some rewards.

The night in winter seemed even darker, the moon in the sky had no light at all, and the torch in his hand was flickering because of the speed of the horse.

At the same time, at the junction of Fort Goer and Fort Moreland, a short fire snake was heading towards Fort Moreland. This was the army led by Baron Lobean of Goerburg, who was preparing to attack Fort Moreland.

There are about 300 people in this team. In order to organize this team, Baron Lobean mobilized all the adult males in the territory who can go to the battlefield. Except for his 70 regular troops and 10 knights, the rest are free people. Composed of light infantry or serf omens.

This war was kept secret, so Viscount Lobean did not allow merchants and women accompanying the army to follow him. Apart from some necessary supplies, he did not have any encumbrances to follow the troops.

"Have you found anything unusual?" Logan was wearing a simple leather armor and holding a long sword on the wall of Fort Morland, asking the guards guarding the wall.

"There is nothing abnormal, my lord, we have not found anything!" The freeman armed guard replied.

"Very good, we must be vigilant! There is a high possibility that someone will sneak attack us!" Before Logan finished speaking, a ray of fire appeared in the dark and silent snow.

"What is that! Oh my God!" The guard beside him opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, he didn't expect such an unexpected situation to happen.

"Damn it!" Logan hammered the battlements and cursed in a low voice: "These guys deserve to go to hell! They really came!"

"Blow the horn immediately!" Logan ordered to the guards.

A soldier immediately took out the brass horn from the control room of the city gate, took a deep breath of cold air, puffed up his cheeks, and blew the brass horn representing danger.

A high-pitched and sharp voice sounded, and the soldiers guarding the arrow tower next to it also blew the copper horn equipped with the arrow tower. The sound of the metal horn circled and echoed over the castle, making those who heard the sound panic.

The indistinct sound of the bronze horn spread to the surroundings, and was heard by the Goldberg army not far from the castle.

Baron Robert frowned. He knew that he had been discovered, but then he relaxed his frown. Even if they were discovered now, it was nothing. Anyway, they would still be discovered by the defenders on the city wall after a while. The guards here are very weak, he knows this very well.

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether it is discovered or not.
