Section 135 Granary
A thick smoke rushed straight into the sky. The Bohemians had long been used to the various fresh and strange actions of the Masons outside the castle, but what was going on now? The thick smoke rose from the Masons' trench camp. In fact, not only the Bohemians were confused, but the Masons in the camp also looked at Arod with curiosity. The chapter was updated the fastest
"Huhh~~~." Aruod was holding a wool blanket in his hand, and there was a bonfire below, with some wolf manure added inside, so the smoke looked black and thick. He stared at the thick smoke rising from the bonfire, and from time to time shaking the wool blanket. Under the action of the wool blanket, the thick smoke continued intermittently.
"What else Arod did?" If held his arms and looked at his brother's strange behavior, asking Baron Wendell beside him. Baron Wendell was also confused. After receiving the letter from Dylan Matt, Arod did not accept Baron Wendell's suggestion to withdraw his troops immediately. Instead, he lit a bonfire in the camp and raised smoke that no one could understand. However, they could not see it clearly. Arod didn't care. His intention was to let Julian lurk in the castle see the secret code.
"Warehouse, fire, grain, warehouse, fire, grain." Julian was mixed in the middle of the Bohemians who were watching curiously on the city wall, but he was nervously calculating the shape of the smoke. The intermittent shape of the smoke represented Arabic numerals, and Arabic numerals corresponded to Latin letters. As a middle-level officer in the former Earl of Mecklenburg, Julian was also trained in this simple code. Another type was specially deciphered by the codebook, which was used by the Blood Drops Brotherhood.
After deciphering the meaning of thick smoke, Julian understood that this was Arod's order to burn the Bohemian granary, but the food in the granary was not enough for the Bohemians to support for half a month. He only needed the army of the noble alliance of Mason's Principality to continue to siege. The Bohemians would definitely surrender without fighting. Why did Arod so anxiously order him to risk his enemy's granary? There must be a reason for this, but Julian understood that this was Arod's order issued by Arod, and this time he would rather give his life than disobey.
The Bohemian granary is located in the southeast corner of the castle. It is a relatively remote place. However, it is guarded by Bohemian knights. After all, this place is the most important place to be guarded by heavy troops. Not only should it be worried about the destruction of the enemy, but also about being stolen by their own people. However, the long-term hunger made the Bohemian knights listless. They sat on the ground and leaned against the warehouse containing food, enduring the double torment of temptation and hunger.
"Ah, damn." Julian carefully hid his body behind a house without a roof. His eyes passed through the cracks of the house being demolished. Looking at the Bohemian Knights who were still holding their posts, they were so tight that they couldn't even run into a mouse. Of course, there were not many mice in the castle. Julian saw that he had no chance to take action, so he had to retreat for the time being and wait until night fell before thinking about a solution.
Night fell soon, but even in the trenches outside the castle at night, bonfires were lit, and merchants gathered outside the castle spontaneously lit torches. Arod lit the bonfires to prevent people in the castle from escaping, while merchants were sucking customers. Arod stood outside his tent, and his eyes had never left the castle, as if he was looking forward to something, but there was no movement until the next day, which made Arod return disappointed. When night fell on the third day, he was still standing outside the tent and watching the movements of the castle.
"Sir Gong Xiang, what are you waiting for?" Ron, the knight of the inner palace who protected Arod, asked curiously.
"The person who responded to my signal." Aruod's face was a little haggard. He looked at the castle without any change and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Just as Aruod stood up and moved his numb limbs and was about to return without success, some subtle fires suddenly popped up behind the city wall. After that, the fires gradually grew bigger and the Bohemians began to panic. They tried hard to pull the water from the well with wooden barrels and rushed towards the fire. People's shouts and screams filled the entire castle.
"He did it, he did it." Aruod looked at the fire in the castle and shouted excitedly, not even the wool blanket that the close servant had put on him slipped off. At this time, the balance of victory had completely turned towards him.
Julian looked at the burned warehouse and hid tiredly in the dark corner. In order to complete this task, he had to kill his mount, and then threw the roasted horse meat into the vicinity of the warehouse little by little. Finally, he seduced the Bohemian knights who had been eating and drinking to preserve their energy, but the hungry Bohemian knights gradually left the warehouse in order to find horse meat. At this time, Julian took the opportunity to lurk near the warehouse and ignited the warehouse with the prepared flint. He hurriedly hid in the darkness until he looked at the burning warehouse.
"Our warehouse is burned." Earl Ota came to the tower anxiously. At this time, the Duke of Bohemia stood at the window and stared at the burning warehouse in amazement. The food that was not enough to maintain people's lives in the castle was gone.
"Spy, there must be a Masonian spy among us." The Duke of Bohemia shouted angrily, but his body shaking a few times because of his weakness and collapsed to the ground. The Duke hugged his head and cried like a child. Earl Ota hurriedly closed the door of the room tightly. The Bohemian soldiers, whose morale was already unstable, would definitely be disappointed if they saw their monarch's appearance at this time.
"Sir, maybe we should go home." Earl Ota stepped forward and knelt in front of the Duke with one knee, hugged his shoulders with both hands, and hugged him and advised.
"Surrender?" the Duke of Bohemia raised his head and looked at Earl Ota with tears in his eyes.
