"What's going on?" When Ryan heard the bad news, he jumped up and almost overturned the entire dining table. Vivian and Adela on the side were also shocked, and all three of them turned their attention. Barbara opened her mouth and told the whole story: "It's like this, tonight I am responsible for the night patrol. I led the team out of the north gate as usual. When I was detouring through the west gate, I happened to meet a few escorts. Letoz and his party arrived with a seriously injured dwarf. Two of the dwarves died on the way, and one fell into a serious coma. However, according to Letoz, the dwarf mentioned that His Majesty Reynolds was deep in love before he fell into coma. We are trapped in a tight siege and hope we can rush to the rescue immediately."
Ryan knew that the Letoz unit of the Popular Archer Legion had been ordered to rotate defense areas three days ago. From the western border stationed in Cassano, that direction was also the only way to the dwarf country, so Reynolds' escort was discovered by them and It's not unusual to be escorted here, but didn't Reynolds bring dozens of guards with him when he returned to Blackstone City? Moreover, he was also a high-level warrior himself. It was indeed a bit disappointing that he would suffer such huge losses in the ambush of the undead army. People are surprised,
As the dwarf king, Reynolds's guards are all the most elite rock defenders among the dwarves. Each of them holds a sharp ax and giant shield. Although the attack power is not outstanding, the defense power is second to none in the entire continent. With so many Rock Defenders protecting Reynolds, there was still bad news brought by Barbara. Obviously, Reynolds and his party were definitely not ordinary undead.
"Where are they, take me there immediately." Ryan gave the order decisively. Now that Reynolds' life or death is unknown, he must figure out the specific situation in the shortest possible time and then make the most appropriate choice. Maybe it will happen in a few seconds at night. There will be an irreparable tragedy, which is what Ryan least wants to see.
"It's at the rescue center to the west." Before Barbara could finish her words, she saw a ball of white light coming from Ryan's body, and then Ryan activated the teleportation magic and left the room.
A dazzling light flashed, and Ryan appeared at the rescue center on the western outskirts of the new city of Iron Fist Castle. Now the permanent population of Iron Fist Castle is increasing. In order to prevent the outbreak of infectious diseases such as plague here, the New Year's tragedy of the Imperial Capital has been avoided from happening again. Any warrior suspected of being infected with a serious disease or injured while fighting the undead will be placed in such an aid center. The Church of Light in Iron Fist Castle also has a small church here. The Cassano branch of the Church of Light exceeds Four-fifths of the priests are stationed here. It can be said that this is the second safest place in Cassano, and the first safest place is Ryan's side.
"Who is it?" The guards who were ordered to patrol saw Ryan and immediately clenched their spears and shouted a warning. However, after the dazzling light disappeared, they immediately recognized the identity of the man in front of them, so the group of guards quickly raised their spears. He stood up, but still clenched the weapon in his hand according to the rules of the army, and just paid attention to Ryan. This is a common etiquette on the battlefield. Soldiers should never be allowed to put down their hands due to non-combat factors at any time. weapons on
Ryan nodded in return. He thought about it and felt that Letoz and Barbara already knew about this matter and arranged people here. They must invite Cassano, the bishop with the highest position and power in the Church of Light. My lord, he then asked, "Where is Bishop Quincy?"
"Bishop Quincy is in the third tent in the North District. He should be personally treating the wounded people brought back by Mr. Letoz." The captain of the patrol team suppressed his excitement and replied,
"Okay." Ryan agreed casually. His body became blurry again and disappeared in front of the patrol almost in the blink of an eye. This group of ordinary Cassano soldiers were stunned. Although they had heard I have read countless stories about Ryan, but this is the first time I have seen Ryan unleash such magical magic.
Ryan accurately teleported to the front of the third tent in the North District. Letoz, who was waiting outside, immediately went up to him and reported to Ryan in a low voice. It turned out that these three dwarves were the popular shooters who were ordered to patrol the border in the evening. They were discovered, and by the time the patrolling Fengxing shooter brought them to Letoz, one of them was already dead.
The Rock Defender who followed Reynolds could barely speak a few words of human common language, and Letoz learned some dwarf language more or less because of the presence of many dwarves and orcs in Cassano, although direct communication was still difficult. It was a little difficult, but he could still understand the simple words. When Letoz heard several key words from the two semi-conscious dwarves: "Your Majesty", "Danger", "Undead", "Surrounded" and other key words Finally, I guessed what happened, and naturally rushed back to Iron Fist Castle as soon as possible.
"Bishop Quincy has already taken care of him, but one of the dwarves was seriously injured and died on the way we arrived. The last one has been unconscious. I hope Bishop Quincy can revive him." Letoz After briefly introducing everything to Ryan, he finally added: "Sir, the injuries on the two dead dwarves... seem to be a little inappropriate. I suspect that they may have been infected with some undead plague or received an evil curse. Look."
Ryan nodded, but did not express his position. He thought for a moment and ordered Letoz: "Any brothers who have come into contact with these dwarves, please feel aggrieved for the time being and observe them carefully for a few days. In addition, the North District will be sealed off immediately to avoid possible infection. "
"Yes, my lord." Letoz replied immediately, and then explained: "I immediately isolated the entire North District after I arrived here. There are no patients here, and it does not affect the recovery of the injured soldiers. In addition, I have also strengthened the security here to prevent any unrelated persons from approaching, and at the same time block the news as much as possible to avoid causing panic among the residents of Cassano."
Ryan nodded with satisfaction. Although Letoz's behavior was a bit excessive, it was arranged very properly. If Ryan himself had done it himself, he would have been able to do just this step. It seems that this person is from the former hunter tribe. The excellent shooter has gradually grown into a qualified commander. Maybe it’s time to give him a chance to stand alone.
"Well, you can arrange these. I'll go in and take a look first." Ryan patted Letoz on the shoulder and walked into the tent. He stretched out a hand to lift half of the tent's curtain, but then stopped. He turned around and looked at Letoz and said, "Speaking of which, we have known each other for five or six years. Let's have a good chat whenever we have time."
After Ryan said these words, he entered the tent, leaving Letoz with a surprised look on his face. Based on his experience, it was natural to hear that Ryan valued himself in his words. Apparently, after a period of time that was not too long, he After the test, Ryan has completely trusted himself and plans to truly entrust him with important responsibilities. How can this not make Letoz happy
Ryan quietly walked into the tent and immediately saw Bishop Quincy standing by the bed and concentrating on casting spells. Quincy was not too old. He was only 35 years old. In fact, he became a bishop only in the past few months. , and before that, he was just an inconspicuous ordinary priest in the Cathedral of San Nebiro in the imperial capital. Due to the plan of the undead army, a split occurred within the Church of Light in the imperial capital. Naturally, the cardinals who went to Seike City later died unexpectedly. Or became undead, and the 12 cardinal positions in the Church of Light were left with a lot of vacancies. With strong support, Red promoted newcomers to his heart's content. Due to the objections, almost all of them died in Seike City or He was secretly suppressed by Victor and others, so no one dared to make Tiaozi conspire during the whole process. There was no longer any seniority ranking, no exchange or compromise of power, only piety and the strength of light magic. The only truth to be tested was that 8 people who were truly devout believers in God were finally selected from the entire Church of Light to fill the vacancy of the cardinal. At the same time, a full 17 additional bishops were promoted. This is the Cathedral of St. Nebiro in the imperial capital. This was the first time in 200 years that such a grand event occurred, and this devout Quincy priest became one of the lucky ones.
Ryan did not disturb Quincy's spellcasting. He just took a few steps and observed the dwarf lying on the bed from the side. Ryan had seen the attire of the dwarf rock defenders. They were all wearing black iron armor forged with dwarf craftsmanship. It is strong enough to resist powerful attacks, and is not afraid of magic damage due to the characteristics of black iron. When facing a small group of dwarf rock defenders, even if 5,000 wind-moving archers are used to attack them in turns, they may not be able to defeat them. It is definitely worthy of the praise. Earned the title of "The Strongest Defense",
But now this member of the dwarf rock defender is lying on the bed with his eyes closed. The black iron armor on his body has been taken off, leaving only close-fitting clothes. The exposed skin seems to be telling a story. What kind of hard battle did this dwarf rock defender go through? His arms, thighs, chest, etc. were all covered with various scars. Although they no longer bleed after treatment, there were varying degrees of decay. A foul-smelling yellow pus seeped out from these scars, filling the entire room with a pungent smell.
Ryan could identify at a glance what these scars, pus, and rotten skin meant. They were corroded by the undead corpse poison and affected by the evil curse, which could destroy the outer black iron armor and severely injure the bodies of these rock defenders. , obviously the undead army they encountered was definitely very powerful, perhaps even more powerful than the giant skeletons used on the Cassano battlefield this time. Perhaps they were the dark rune knights who caused the New Year's tragedy in the imperial capital last time, but This is just Ryan's conjecture. He has to check the tattered dwarf armor repeatedly before he can finally confirm it. Of course, if Bishop Quincy can save the dwarf, then it would be best for him to say it himself.
