Come to another world and become a lord

Under the moonlight, the shadow of Grey Castle was like an ancient beast lying in the dense darkness. The castle guards patrolled back and forth on the wall, but their vigilance and enthusiasm were no longer as strong as before, and everyone's face was full of questions and confusion. Carl and Alia were hiding in the woods not far away, observing the castle's defense layout.

"Look, those at the castle gate are soldiers from Candlehold. And those on the city wall are locals from Greyburg." Alia pointed out to Carl in a low voice.

Carl also looked in the direction Alia pointed and saw that there were four soldiers guarding the gate, all wearing uniform armor, while those on the city wall were dressed in a variety of styles, but the distinction between the two was obvious.

After observing the circle, he smiled and said:

"It seems that William doesn't trust the local guards, but he has no choice but to use them. After all, the people he brought with him are not enough."

"The local soldiers in Greyburg are loyal to our father. As long as we let them know what our cousin has done, they will definitely turn to help us~" Selena said on the side.

"Only if we can break through the city gate~" Carl pointed to the soldiers of Fengzhu Castle guarding the city and said, "Otherwise it's hard to say."

In his opinion, the local defenders were basically in a state of being half-coerced. Whether it was out of fear or something else, most of them would tend to be neutral before the situation became clear. In other words, they would only help whoever won. The problem was that the city gate was not easy to attack, especially since they only brought about 10 people from the Fire Rose Guards, which was indeed an elite force. As Karl's current cavalry unit, dealing with infantry on the battlefield was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables, but it was another matter when it came to siege.

At this moment, Alia suddenly said:

"I have thought of a way."

"What good ideas do you have?" Carl asked curiously.

"Remember the night when Princess Snow attacked us?" Alia said with some suspense.

"Nura~" Hearing the sneak attack, Carl unconsciously uttered the name.

"Use the grappling hook to sneak up the city wall and then take down the city gate." said Alia.

"Will this work?" Carl asked.

"If it were just me, there should be a chance," Alia said again.

"Wait, are you planning to seize the city gate by yourself?" Carl's eyes widened in surprise.

But I saw Alia suddenly pouted:

"Why, do you think I can't even handle 4 people?"

Carl looked at Alia's dissatisfied face, and for some reason he remembered her fighting against the nine knights of Aeron that night. And those nine people were all real knights who had received various combat training since childhood, and they were definitely not comparable to these ordinary guards who came from peasant families. Thinking of this, he felt relieved. Well, since she said it was okay, then it should be okay.

"So..." he asked uncertainly, "is there anything we need to do?"

"Is there anything that needs to be done?"

Alia thought for a moment, then looked at the soldiers patrolling the city wall, pointed at them and said with a smile:

"I need you to find a way to attract their attention~"

On the tower of Greyburg, the guards looked at the dark night sky with some fatigue. There was silence all around. It was already the second half of the night and they were feeling sleepy. Another quiet night was about to pass. This was how it should be.

But suddenly, there was a loud sound of horse hooves outside the city, accompanied by the roar of soldiers. Several guards were frightened and staggered, and instantly woke up.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" One of the guards hurriedly sounded the alarm. The other guards on the wall also began to focus their attention below the wall.

Then they saw red horses carrying girls in red armor emerging from the night. They were holding spears or bows, running and roaring around Greyburg.

Some of the guards recognized their clothes, and their expressions gradually turned into horror:

"This is... the Fire Rose Guard!"

"It's Carl from Rickburg! We're being attacked, everyone, get ready to shoot arrows!" The leading team leader was terrified, and he began shouting to all the soldiers on the top of the city.

At this moment, Selena suddenly rushed to the front of the team. She stood up straight, took off her helmet, revealing her wavy blonde hair that fluttered in the wind, and shouted to everyone:

"I am Selena Grete of Graven Valley, daughter of Baron Henry and the legal heir to this land!"

With her appearance, everyone was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the bow stopped in mid-air, not knowing whether to hold it or put it down.

"Ms. Selena, it's Selena..."

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you shoot the arrows?" the team leader urged angrily.

"But that is, Miss Selena..."

Just when everyone was hesitating, they heard Selena shout again:

"Listen to me, William betrayed my father and murdered him! He also intended to imprison me!"

"What? Lord William is a traitor?"

Her words caused a stir among the guards. For a moment, the soldiers began to discuss privately, and many of them showed hesitation and vacillation in their eyes. Carl could see that many people were wavering in their hearts. However, they did not take any further action. This was human nature. Even if Selena had enough legitimacy, as long as those few Candle Castle guards were still there, it was enough to intimidate most people.

The two sides were in a stalemate until Alia appeared. When everyone's attention was still on Carl, she had secretly climbed up the city wall from a blind spot, took advantage of the chaos, and got to the place not far from the city gate. Then, before anyone could react, she suddenly rushed out, shouted, and went straight past several guards. She came to the captain and chopped off his head with one sword.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. They had never expected her to suddenly appear. They even just watched and forgot to take action. And Alia naturally would not miss this opportunity. While the other party was still surprised, she rushed to another Fengzhu Fort guard and stabbed him with a sword, directly stabbing him through the heart. Her purpose was very clear, which was to kill these people from Fengzhu Fort as quickly as possible.

The remaining two people also reacted at this time, drawing their swords and rushing forward. At this time, Alia was too late to pull out the long sword from the corpse, so she simply let go, took out the huge halberd behind her, and swung it over. The halberd smashed at the two people like a thousand-pound boulder, with such great force that the two people were knocked directly off the city wall. After screaming, the two men hit the ground with their necks and died instantly.

All this happened in just a moment, and then she put the halberd back behind her and drew out her sword and sheathed it. She turned her head and looked at the two local guards who had already been stunned:

"Why don't you open the city gate?"

The two nodded and began to turn the chain above the city gate in a panic, while Alia pinched her shoulders, turned her neck, and then slowly walked down the wall and came to the city gate. As the gate was slowly pulled up, Carl also signaled everyone to start moving forward.

Just as the gate was about to open, William rushed over from the main castle with six fully armed guards. When he saw the guards on the city wall opening the gate, he immediately roared:

"Don't open the door! I'll kill anyone who opens the door!"

Following the shout, the two guards actually loosened their hands in panic, and the half-pulled chain quickly turned back.

Carl watched helplessly as the gate that was about to open quickly fell back, leaving Alia alone in the city.

"No!" he shouted, but he heard William's voice again in the city:

"Come on, kill that woman!"

"Alia!" Carl rushed to the gate and banged on the iron gate violently, but it was of no use.
