When Burley and his men kicked open the door and rushed in, Alexander knew that he had been deceived by Ruosha.

Whether she was just taking back power from Odogne or worried that Odogne would not accept and prepared to force him when necessary, Ruosha looked completely forced.

But now when she finally faced Odonie, she didn't give him a chance to choose, which only means that she had no intention of taking over from the beginning, or simply said that she had made plans to completely eradicate Odonie from the beginning.

Berry is obviously the person Ruosha trusts the most, and she also knows her purpose the most. So what Ruosha said to Odone was not so much an order to Odone, but a signal of attacking Berry!

The sudden rushing in and the muskets and hard crossbows shaking in their hands shocked the knights who were not prepared in the room.

Although muskets are not that powerful in this era, they are extremely dangerous at a distance of only one room, especially if they are facing a musket with iron sand projectiles, which is even more terrifying than a short crossbow.

As for armor that can withstand muskets, it is in the castle because of the hot weather.

So when I saw Burley and the others rush in, after the initial shock, some people avoided fear, while others instinctively drew their swords to resist.

With a "bang!", Burley fired a shot at a knight who had already drawn his sword not far from Odogne without hesitation!

The huge gunshot echoed in the room as the smoke rose. The person who was hit fell down. Berry had quickly grabbed another musket from Uriu's hand next to him, and held his hands at the others.

The room was filled with the pungent smell of nitrification, and the thick smoke had not yet dissipated. Following the floating smoke screen, Alexander saw Odonje's face as ugly as if it had just been ravaged by countless feet.

"Miss Rusha Kosencha, do you know what you are doing?" Odogne looked at his confidant who was lying at his feet. The man was motionless and did not know how to live or die. This made Odogne not at all doubt that the groom would shoot him next time.

"Of course I know what I'm doing," Ruosha stared at Odonie's eyes. Although she had already stood up, she did not relax her vigilance against him at all. "Knight, I now announce that you will be lifted as Captain of the Knights of Kosenza, and you will be forbidden from freedom from now on." As she said, her eyes fell on several knights who were retreating to the side, saying, "From now on, he will no longer be your captain. I will let you choose whether to follow him or follow me."

The knights looked at both sides with a little confused. They were different from those who were still standing by Odone. They did not deliberately rely on either side. If they had to say who they were on, they would also serve whoever would pay them their salary.

Obviously, Ruosha, as the guardian of the Kosencha territory, was their financial backer at this time.

"You're crazy, the Bohemians are outside!" Odone rushed around the table and rushed two steps before, but was pointed at the chest by two short crossbows. "Do you know how to command those guards? Can you make everyone obey your orders? Can you guard Kosenza's castle?"

Odone's words made the faces of the knights next to him who thought they had nothing to do with him.

Odone said it right. If the guards cannot be commanded smoothly to defend the castle, once the Bohemians attack in, it will be a disaster for everyone.

As a woman, Ruosha is obviously not trustworthy.

"So I decided to let him be your captain," Ruosha turned her head and looked at Alexander who had never even been anxious to say the previous sentence from beginning to end. "He is a knight from Sicily. He had successfully rescued the family of Sicily Palace in the Sicily riot not long ago, so I now appoint him as the captain of the knights of Kosencha."

Everyone couldn't help but look at Alexander, and the newly released "Knight of Sicily" could only stand up with a wry smile on his face.

"You want this person to be the captain of Kosenca's Knights?" Odonie smiled sarcastically. "I think you are probably the same as your mother, and you have made a big mistake. Your mother just makes it too easy for her to believe in the little girl..."

Before Odogne finished speaking, Ruosha suddenly turned around and grabbed the gun from Maximo, who had just loaded the gun with gunpowder, and the muzzle was pressed up against Odogne's chin, lifting his head upwards.

"Listen, if you dare to say another word about my mother, I will shoot you to death now."

Ruosha's eyes erupted with anger. Her voice was so resolute that it made people not doubt whether she could do what she said.

"Did you understand what I said?" Ruosha asked.

Odonie hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. When his chin moved up and down, he felt the rough muzzle of the musket pushing his throat hurt, and his face turned completely ashen.

"Now you and your people are disarmed and stand together," Ruosha pushed Odogne with a gun. "Listen, don't forget that I am the daughter of Lord Kosenza. As long as you listen to my orders honestly, I will pay you the reward you deserve and let you leave afterwards, so you just temporarily lose your freedom. As for the others, you are still knights of Kosenza, I will declare your allegiance to me now."

Ruosha's words made the knights standing aside secretly relieved.

With the changes of the times, the knight system that has maintained nearly a thousand years has gradually faded its dazzling halo at this time.

The sacred relationship between lords and knights that was linked with loyalty and faith have been increasingly replaced by contracts at the cost of money. In addition to the traditional knights who still maintain old-fashioned relationships with the lord because of the enfeoffed territory, more and more lords and knights have evolved into unreliable employers and mercenaries.

But when these people stood up one after another to announce their recognition of her identity and obey Alexander's orders, Ruosha suddenly picked two of them out of these people, and locked them up with Odonne without obeying their explanations.

"They are from Odogne, I've known this for a long time."

Ruosha told Alexander that this made Alexander even more sure that she was prepared for Odone.

"Is he doing to your mother?" Alexander hesitated for a moment or changed his voice slightly. "I mean what did you do to our mother, otherwise how could you be so angry."

Ruosha glared at Alexander fiercely, and then seemed to feel that it would be better to say something clearly, so she slowly said: "He deliberately approached his mother and did a lot of bad things to her. I know that he actually wanted to use this to gradually control her and get more benefits from her. My mother actually left Kosencha because of this, but I think she still underestimated Odonne. This person is very greedy and may want to get more than we think."

"Wait, what did you say?" Alexander suddenly interrupted Machimo. "What do you think they are afraid of leaking?"

"I just said it was like that." Maximo shook his head and explained, "You know I was really scared at that time, but fortunately the guy who gave me a mount was locked up."

"What are they afraid of leaking?" Alexander no longer paid attention to the monk's self-talk, but carefully savored the things in it.

The Bohemians not only did not allow access to the Kosenza territory, but even blocked the Kosenza gate. No matter how you look at it, they can only be said to be provoking.

But since they have reached this point, what else can Bohemians worry about, and what else are they afraid of the Kosenchas discovering?

What made everyone, including the pressure, strange was that although the Bohemians were ready to fight against the Kosenza, they had not only not really launched an attack so far, but they had not even approached the castle.

So what is their purpose?

"Sir, isn't this better?" Seeing Alexander fall into deep thought, Mahimo said disapprovingly, "We are just here to visit. As soon as the Bohemians left, we quickly left this place. Fortunately, there is a lot of food in the castle, and it doesn't matter if it's so stiff for a few months. But the Bohemians cannot stay outside the city forever, and they will soon have to retreat because of no food."

How many months have you been dead?

Nothing to eat?

Somehow, these words of Maximo suddenly stirred up waves in Alexander's heart!

He seemed to have grabbed something, and these words kept echoing in his mind.

When I remembered it, Alexander couldn't help but remind himself in his heart.

What was the purpose of coming to Kosencha? Isn’t it just to take the opportunity to get close to George Anne?

When facing the old fox Modillo, if you don’t want to be used by him, you must open a breakthrough from George Anne, and use her identity as a member of the Modillo family to make yourself not only a simple pawn, but a part of the family.

To achieve this goal, the first thing to do now is to help Ruosha and Kosencha's territory overcome the dangers in front of you.

Because Alexander discovered that Ruosha not only had a deep influence on her mother, the girl herself was also capable of having the power to play an important role.

Obtaining Ruosha's recognition became the first step for him to integrate into the Kosencha family.

What exactly was missing?

Alexander kept asking himself that the Bohemians did not seem to want to confront the Kosenza head-on, so their only purpose was as they said, just to prevent the Kosenza from leaving the castle.

So if the Kosenza could leave the castle, where would they go?

"Go and find someone, Mahimo," Alexander instructed, "it's better to find someone who is very familiar to Kosenza, and find someone who comes to me."

"That's very simple. Just find a maid," Maximo said, and waved to a maid who happened to pass by. Seeing the fat woman with freckles on her face, the monk walked over helplessly and brought her over. "May I ask her, sir, she is a local and very familiar with the neighborhood."
