Ryan looked at the dwarf rock defender who had fallen into a coma again, and fell into deep thought. It turns out that humans and dwarves are on the same side, and the dwarf king Reynolds is in trouble, so Ryan naturally wants to rescue him with all his strength, but the information he got now makes Ryan's heart Full of doubts, making him a little hesitant in his heart.
Vivian, who was outside the tent because she hadn't heard any noise from inside for a long time, was worried about Ryan, so she found a wooden tray with a few glasses of water and walked in. Vivian deliberately made some noise when she opened the door curtain. The footsteps were also heavier than usual, which naturally interrupted Ryan's thoughts.
When Ryan saw Vivian coming in, he knew that the latter cared about him, so he deliberately found an excuse to come in and take a look. He didn't say much, just picked up the water glass Vivian sent and drank it in one gulp, and then said to Quincy The bishop said: "I'll leave this matter to you." After saying this meaningless words, Ryan called Vivian and Milo and left the tent.
Quincy looked at the dwarf who continued to fall into a coma. He knew very well what Ryan's pun meant. He asked himself that he was not a talkative person, but Ryan's performance just now really shocked him. After all, Is it the light of the gods that illuminates all things, or is it that a mere mortal like Ryan has seen through the mystery of divine power
Ryan left the tent and saw Adela, Letoz and others waiting outside. He raised his hand to signal everyone to come over, and then asked, "Do you have a map?"
"Yes." Adela was the first to answer.
"Well, find a place to look at the map." Ryan ordered: "Let's study the current situation."
Ryan and his party only walked a dozen steps before arriving at the tent next to it. The place was brightly lit, and a huge map had been placed on the table in the center of the tent. It was obvious that Adela and the others had prepared everything in advance. alright,
Ryan stood in front of the map. He reached for some marking flags and placed them one by one on the map according to the words of the dwarf rock defender just now. After doing this, Ryan tilted his head and thought about it again. These marking flags were thrown away, replaced with flags of another color, and placed in the Imperial Capital, Moon Moon City, Freedom Paradise, etc.
Ryan looked at the map covered with flags of several different colors in front of him and began to think hard about what kind of connection there was. However, Vivian and others standing aside were a little surprised because they found that although Cassano The invading undead army was defeated, but according to Ryan's arrangement, Cassano's crisis was not really resolved. There were even signs of the undead army in the mountainous area dozens of kilometers away from the popular shooter station in Cassano's western border.
"This, this... isn't our Western Front Camp very dangerous?" Adela asked in a low voice. Her words also represented the opinions of Vivian, Letoz and others. Everyone's eyes were focused on Ryan. body, waiting for the latter's answer,
"Not necessarily." Ryan's answer was very simple, but he still gave his own explanation: "According to the description of the dwarf warrior, there are undead armies intercepting them here and here, and their strength is also very strong, but I I believe that these troops are not targeting our Cassano, but are targeting the Dwarf Kingdom. Maybe... maybe their original intention is to block the news."
"Look." Ryan pointed at the map and said, "Reynolds and his party came here through the teleportation magic circle. This location is almost 200 kilometers away from Black Rock City. After traveling more than 150 kilometers of mountain roads, they arrived in this area. We were ambushed by the undead army. We are already very close to Blackstone City, but a large undead army was not noticed by any dwarves, which is a bit suspicious."
When Ryan said this, he pointed to the location of "Tomahawk Fort" and said: "This is a small fortress of the dwarves. As far as I know, all the dwarf ground fortresses have tunnels leading to the ground. In other words, Reynolds They could have returned to Black Rock City through the underground passage of Tomahawk Castle, but they still sent reinforcements to three places, maybe Reynolds has noticed something."
"If my guess is correct, the rescue team that went to Blackstone City must have been wiped out. Now the dwarf Blackstone City has been attacked by the undead army. This is obviously a big move. They used a large number of troops to besiege the human beings. The city, in the end, such a huge force turned out to be just a partial force, and they successfully delayed our steps and gaze."
"So, where is the team asking for help from Demon Moon City?" Adela asked.
"Well, I can't guarantee this, but I remember Fulia once said that although there are many teleportation points on the mainland that can be connected to Demon Moon City, these teleportation channels cannot be used without the permission of the Elf Queen who holds the Moonlight Brooch. There is a way to open it, I believe she won't be so careless, but we still need to contact her."
After Ryan said this, he began to release a small magic. The principle of this magic is similar to the elves' teleportation magic. However, it does not need to teleport objects. It just opens a channel to transmit images. Therefore, the entire magic circle is more cumbersome and consumes more time. The power of magic cannot be compared to words in the sun,
Even so, it still took Ryan several minutes to complete the magic circle. When a burst of white light flashed from the magic circle, the ring-shaped magic circle was activated. Ryan watched the magic that kept changing its shape. Array, waiting for Fulia to appear. After about ten seconds, Freya's familiar face appeared in the center of the magic array.
"Lian." Fulia spoke, but after only saying two words, she noticed that the faces of Vivian, Adela and others beside Ryan were not very good. It seemed that something had happened, so she asked He said: "What's wrong?"
"Flia, Reynolds was ambushed by the undead army and is now trapped in Tomahawk Castle." Ryan described the key points in a few simple sentences: "He sent three teams to ask for help, one of which arrived at Casa No, according to the description of the only surviving dwarf warrior, another rescue team returned the same way, hoping to contact you through the teleportation magic circle... "
"No, I didn't get any news here." After listening to Ryan's introduction, Fulia's face turned extremely ugly. She suddenly realized that something was wrong. The majestic dwarf king was actually ambushed in the dwarf kingdom. What happened? Either it is involved in the power dispute within the dwarves, or the undead army has completely or partially destroyed the dwarves' defense line. No matter which one it is, it is not good news.
"Then you should be careful during this period. I'm worried that the undead army will retrograde to Demon Moon City through the teleportation magic circle." Ryan said worriedly,
"Don't worry, this problem does not exist." Freya smiled and explained for Ryan: "Any creature that accepts this transmission will be wrapped in the bright moonlight during the transmission process. If it is an evil creature such as the undead or the devil, , their nature is simply incompatible with the bright moonlight, and I am afraid that they will be torn to pieces by the powerful magic power before the teleportation begins, unless they are reversed and replaced by human beings like Catherine, but such a character may not be the entire army of the undead. How many, and even if you enter Demon Moon City, it is equivalent to entering the domain of a domain expert."
"Be careful and you won't make a big mistake." Ryan warned, and then said: "Cassano's military strength has not been fully restored now, and Cassano's military strength alone cannot rescue Reynolds at all. Do you think we are now What to do, organize an elite team to attack, or..."
"It's not the wisest choice." Fulia replied very decisively: "Given the relationship between elves and dwarves, and the friendship between us and Reynolds, it is necessary to launch rescue immediately, but it is a very critical issue. , that is, since the undead army has an absolute advantage, why did they not launch a fatal blow to Reynolds, but sit back and watch him retreat to Battle Ax Castle? Although the dwarf rock defenders are very powerful, they are flesh and blood after all. Body, if the undead launched a non-stop onslaught, they would not be able to persist until now."
This issue cannot be discussed clearly in just a few sentences, and it is impossible for Ryan to consume huge mana to maintain the magic circle, so the two decided to prepare separately: at dawn, Freya will lead the elite of the elves Arriving at Cassano through the teleportation magic circle, Ryan will take advantage of this time to explore the locations where dwarf warriors were ambushed around Cassano, hoping to get some more clues.
Ryan let out a long breath. The worry about Reynolds' fate made his face not very pretty. Vivian on the side was well aware of Ryan's emotions. She wanted to give some words of comfort, but she didn't know. How to speak, the current situation has almost become clear that it is a trap that makes Ryan unable to move forward or retreat. If he tries his best to rescue the dwarf, he will drag the entire Cassano into the abyss, and giving up the rescue will make him feel guilty, and he will also Losing the dwarf as an ally,
"Well, I'll go for a run now." Ryan quickly put aside his worries about gains and losses, and began to exercise his power as a lord: "Letoz, you immediately return to the Western Front Camp and lead the The Windwalking Archer retreated 30 kilometers overnight. Although the undead army is unlikely to attack us again, it is not a bad thing to be careful. In addition, the entire Cassano immediately entered a wartime state. Adela, you and Vivian are stationed in the Iron Fist Castle. Keep all the troops in a fighting position, and I hope that after the attack order is given, all Cassano troops can enter the position to attack in the shortest possible time."
"Then...be careful yourself." Vivian knew that she couldn't help much, so she had to tell Ryan a few words,
Ryan looked at Vivian, who was full of worry, and replied confidently: "Don't worry, there are really not many beings on this continent who can kill me, even if they encounter the position of a demigod lich, Even if you can't defeat me with a face projection, you can still run away."
