Chapter 52 The looting begins
Outside the window, it was pitch black, and the lightning that rolled and shone in the gloomy sky from time to time, and the continuous thunder sounded. Although it brought a trace of light and some sound to the dark sky, it was even more suffocating darkness and silence after each shining and thunder.
Li Wei was lying on the bed toss and turns and couldn't fall asleep. In the end, he couldn't stand it, so he stood up and walked to the window to look at the weather outside the window.
For some reason, Li Wei always felt an unknown feeling in his heart today, and always felt that something bad would happen, but he couldn't find the basis for making him irritable.
He sighed and thought to himself: What's wrong with me? Is it because of this abnormal weather that makes me suspicious? Thinking of the abnormality, Li Wei couldn't help but think of Kai. Did Kai become abnormal because of the weather? Thinking of Kai's performance today, he couldn't help but think with guess.
After leaving the training ground and returning to his own room, Kai locked himself in the room without even having supper.
Recalling Mrs. Eckert's worrying look at dinner, Li Wei decided to talk to Kai alone tomorrow to see what was bothering Kai and whether he could help him find a way to solve it.
At the same time, the Red Devils had led his men to sneak into the vicinity of the Eckert's manor.
Seeing the family soldiers who were constantly patrolling the wooden walls of the manor, the Red Devil crawling on the ground made a killing gesture, signaling his subordinates who followed him to kill the family soldiers.
The subordinates who followed him nodded slightly and crawled forward slowly. With the night, he quickly moved to the feet of the soldier, but the soldier knew nothing about this situation.
Just as the soldier turned around, the Vikings lurking at his feet suddenly jumped up to the wall and quickly and quietly came to the back of the soldier. One hand covered the soldier's mouth, preventing him from making any screams. At the same time, the other hand skillfully took out the dagger and inserted it into the soldier's back to end his life.
Seeing that his subordinates had already solved the trouble-injured family soldier, the Red Devil used his hand to let the other subordinates follow.
After a while, the Red Devil and his fifty subordinates climbed up to the wall of the Eckert family. Looking at his subordinates in front of him, the Red Devil nodded slightly and said, "Then let's do it as planned. Brell, you bring thirty-four people to set fire in the manor, create chaos, and make the slaves panic. Try not to let the knight attendants have time to react. Aiko, you bring nine people to guard the manor's door and stop me all those who are trying to ask for help."
"And the rest of the people, kill me into the mansion, and kill all the family of the Eckert Knight whom we cannot go back!!"
"Come on, everyone, enjoy such a killing feast!"
After the Red Devil finished speaking, his subordinates scattered and began to act according to the initial plan.
The men led by Reel lit the torches they carried with them and began to set fires everywhere in the manor without restraint. The men led by Aike quickly blocked the door of the manor and piled up some debris in the manor into obstacles to prevent anyone from escaping on horseback.
The people who were sleeping in the manor were soon awakened by these uninvited guests. At first, everyone didn't understand what was going on, but soon, the fires ignited around and the wailing sounds from time to time made these people figure out what they were in.
The panicked crowd left their house in a panic and ran towards the door of the manor. However, what they didn't know was that at the door of the manor, a group of evil ghosts were waiting for them sharply.
The Red Devil looked at the crowd in the manor panic and running around, and listened to the endless whine, and couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy all the director with satisfaction. But he soon came to his senses, and he knew that there was a better enjoyment waiting for him. For him, nothing was more pleasant than the wailing of a child, and when he thought that the child was a descendant of his enemy, the Red Devil trembled with excitement.
So he couldn't wait to take his men to the mansion located in the center of the entire manor, where his goals and everything about him were.
Li Wei, who couldn't sleep at night, soon realized what happened suddenly. At first, he thought the manor was just a fire, but the entire manor was on fire everywhere. Even though he had not experienced any battles, he felt that something was wrong.
Li Wei immediately put on his clothes and ran out, trying to wake up Mrs. Eckert and the others. But when he ran to the corridor, he immediately saw Alstori running towards his room.
Seeing Li Wei come out by himself, Alstori said anxiously: "Li Wei, something happened. Mother asked us to go to the servants right away and let them protect us."
After hearing this, Li Wei knew that it was not the time to procrastinate, so he immediately ran and said, "I understand. What happened? Why did the entire manor catch fire?"
Alstori said while running, "I don't know either. But from the shouts of killing from outside the house, I'm afraid someone wants to come to our house to make trouble while his father is not at home."
"But don't worry, as long as we go to my father's servant, our safety can be guaranteed." Alstori couldn't help but comfort him when he saw Li Wei with concern.
After hearing Alstori's words, Li Wei reluctantly smiled bitterly: "Alstori, we may not be able to get to the Knight attendants. Judging from the fire in the entire manor, the enemy is probably prepared. They deliberately created chaos, probably to let the panicked slaves cover them so that the servants could not react well."
"And, if the enemy really targets the Eckert family, why wouldn't they not pay attention to our servants? I'm afraid that those servants are also entangled by the enemy in secret and cannot take care of us. Moreover, whether we can leave this house is also a question."
Alstori heard this, thought for a while, and said, "No matter what, let's go and meet with my mother and the others first."
Li Wei had no choice but to meet Mrs. Eckert first and then make plans.
Soon, Li Wei and Alstori came to Mrs. Eckert's room, where Li Wei met with Mrs. Eckert.
When Mrs. Eckert saw Li Wei and the others, she immediately said anxiously: "Child, you are not frightened. Now, our family may have been attacked, but you don't have to be afraid. As long as we go to the Knights' attendant, we will be safe."
At this time, Alstori said anxiously: "Mother, I'm afraid we can't do this." After that, Alstori told Mrs. Eckert about Li Wei's guess.
After hearing this, Mrs. Eckert walked around and kept walking, saying, "What should I do, what should I do?"
