Chapter 411: Chapter 411 Encirclement in the Desert

Chen Yu also furrowed his brow as he’d observed the terrain when he arrived. The surrounding mountains were overlapping and majestic, hiding the entire castle within the mountain itself.

If one didn’t already know there was a castle here, they would never be able to find it.

In another instant, he used his system to cover the entire castle with protection and was suddenly shocked to find a large group of people in armor around the perimeter, appearing out of nowhere.

These fellows wore very peculiar clothing, wielding standardized weapons, and each person had a red headband on their forehead, adorned with the pattern of camels and the sun.

“It’s Lakato’s people!”

Chen Yu shouted and snatched a weapon from Luo Sanpao’s hands before charging out.

Only then did Luo Sanpao respond, immediately deploying his people to defend.

Their castle was, after all, easy to defend but hard to attack, and there were a great many traps around the perimeter. It was impossible for anyone to easily enter the castle.

“Damn it, I don’t seem to have any beef with Lakato’s people. Why the hell are they coming here out of the blue?”

Luo Sanpao grumbled angrily and pressed the defense button on the wall.

A myriad of mechanical traps immediately activated, and the number of Lakato members attacking the outskirts of the castle was halved in an instant.

Chen Yu directly climbed up to the battlements and took out a megaphone.

“Aren’t you guys going a bit too far? Wasn’t the feud between William’s family and yours settled in Dongming Gorge? Why chase us here?”

This shout immediately attracted the attention of everyone, and Luo Sanpao was also stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected that Lakato’s people came for William’s family.

He had some relationship with William’s family; otherwise, he wouldn’t have easily taken in Victor.

“Little brother, you should have told me about this earlier. I could have made preparations much sooner. This really caught us off guard,” he said.

Jin Lingsu also climbed up to the battlements: “These guys are really annoying, having chased us down here so quickly.”

Lakato’s predecessor was said to be an organization founded by someone known as the Old Man of the Mountain.

This man was incredibly brutal. He used to capture little boys from nearby villages and subjected them to extremely harsh training from a young age.

Once they reached a certain level, he would drug them, taking them to an exceedingly luxurious place.

After the children had enjoyed themselves, they would once again be drugged and taken back to their original place.

Then, they were told that the place they had visited was heaven, and that if they obeyed orders, they could go there.

As a result, his followers were completely brainwashed and would sell their lives for him without hesitation.

Back then, every nation and group across the desert feared them. As soon as they heard the Old Man of the Mountain’s people had come, they would immediately surrender the city and offer up all their jewels and beauties.

However, this man became too arrogant and eventually crossed the Mongol Empire, being wiped out by Xu Liewu during his western campaign.

There was definitely a large organization involved. How could it simply vanish? A part of it withdrew from the desert and merged with some families that had come from Eastern Europe, forming what is now the Lakato Family.

In this way, this family is indeed quite interesting, with the wildness of desert tribes and the gentlemanly air of the European families.

But such a fusion always seemed somewhat incongruous.

Chen Yu shouted several more times and both sides stopped fighting. A figure from the Lakato Family slowly walked out, holding a megaphone as well.

“The hatred between our ancestors and the William family can’t simply be wiped out. I advise you to hand over that old man Victor, or else today we will flatten the castle.”
