Orlando looked at this man dressed as a civilian and suddenly asked: "Are you Donald? What happened to Sunrise City?"
Donald took a few hard breaths, adjusted his breathing, and then said: "Sir Luke, General Orlando, six days ago, Ri Ri left the city and was attacked by orcs. The city lord died on the spot. I was ordered to break out. When I left, The orcs have invaded the dock area."
"Ah." This sudden news shocked both Luke and Orlando. Luke suddenly stood up, while Orlando took a deep breath, tried to keep his calm, and then asked: "Orcs The number of troops, types of arms, specific details, the more detailed the better.”
When asked about the scene at that time, Donald had a look of fear on his face. Even though a full six days had passed, the shock brought to him by the orc's rampaging chariot had not diminished at all. Donald trembled as he recalled the scene at that time. ,
The comrades around him were rolled over by the fast-moving chariot and turned into blood and mud. Even if they avoided the attack from the front, they could not escape the sharp blade on the side of the chariot. Those who were intercepted by the chariot's blade were next to their ears. The painful wails of his comrades, and the splatters of blood in front of him,
A human warrior struggled to pounce on the orc chariot from a high place, but his actions were completely in vain. Before the human warrior's body landed on the chariot, it was split open by an orc on the chariot with a huge tomahawk. , the blood stained the earth red, and flowed into the blue sea. Sunrise City was completely enveloped in blood red,
Donald ran desperately with a few subordinates. Behind them were hundreds of orcs riding wargs. Although these orcs couldn't shoot arrows, within a distance of tens of meters, their spears were more powerful and the arrows would not hit. He will definitely die, but if he is stabbed by a short spear, even an ordinary round shield cannot stop him. He will definitely pierce through and fall to the ground.
Maybe the god of luck favored Donald. He finally got rid of the pursuit of the orcs and wolf cavalry, but he was left alone. Donald traveled day and night and finally arrived at the imperial capital.
After listening to Donald's narration, Orlando saluted him with a knighthood and said, "Thank you for your efforts. Now go and rest. I'll take care of everything." After hearing this, Donald relaxed and collapsed softly. Orlando quickly stepped forward to support him and found that Donald had fallen asleep.
Orlando handed Donald to the two royal guards and motioned for them to help Donald rest. Then Orlando found a map and frowned as he calculated the route and time of the orcs. After all, the news that Donald brought was six days ago. It's a matter of
Luke sat on a chair nearby, looking at Orlando, but a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. Luke was startled by his thought, and his body trembled a little, but Luke immediately controlled it. Every move he made tried to appear as if nothing had happened, but in Luke's mind, he began to make a simple plan around this idea.
Soon, Luke formulated a complete plan. He thought about the entire plan from beginning to end and found that there were no big problems and it could be implemented immediately. Orlando did not notice that Luke was thinking about it now. What? He carefully considered the map for a long time. His own time was definitely running out. If the orcs went south without resting, they should have entered the area of Fernando City by now. Measures must be taken.
Thinking of this, Orlando said decisively: "Luke, there is no time, we must act immediately."
Luke also knew that time was urgent now, but he put on an expression that had nothing to do with me, and said calmly: "I am just a deposed civilian now, but I don't have the guts to issue these orders. You can do whatever you want."
Orlando said seriously: "Now is not the time to shirk responsibility, Luke. According to the laws of the empire, if His Majesty the King is unable to handle state affairs for some special reason, then as the head of the Royal Knights and the highest military commander of the imperial capital, I have the right to order entry. It’s a state of emergency, let’s get over the current difficulty first.”
What Luke wanted was Orlando's words. After hearing this, he nodded and said, "I understand, and I will fully support you."
"Okay." Orlando said without hesitation: "Immediately summon officials above the imperial chief and military commanders above to gather in the golden meeting hall. An emergency meeting will be held in an hour to carry out wartime mobilization. Those who fail to show up will be dismissed from their posts. Lu Ke, you are in charge of the officer’s notification, and I will inform the officer.”
"Well, most of the officials are in the Royal Chamber anyway, so you have to work harder."
Orlando nodded, with a solemn look on his face, opened the door and strode out, while Luke smiled. Orlando's departure just allowed him to carry out the plan he had just imagined. With the temperament of those officials, Luke felt that he That plan is more than 90% certain.
Ryan looked frustrated and shook his head helplessly. He had been searching for two whole days in the imperial capital. Unfortunately, Bart did not explain the location of the tailor shop to him in detail before. He only knew that it was in the business district, and this place suited Bart. There were at least twenty shops described, not to mention the chaos in the imperial capital some time ago, and many shops were not open at all. This made Ryan spend a lot of time,
Farasi comforted him and said, "Lian, if you can't do it, just keep coming tomorrow. It's getting late now, so why not go back early?"
Ryan shook his head slightly and said, "Let's keep looking, there are a few more ahead."
Allendo gently patted Ryan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, we will accompany you. Bart is not just your friend."
"Ryan, if you ask me, it's better to go back first." Flanner suddenly spoke: "With the strength of the four of us alone, it is too difficult to find one person in this city with hundreds of thousands of residents. , I have a good idea."
"Ah, if you have a way, why don't you tell me earlier." Ryan beamed with joy, grabbed Flanner's hand and shook it constantly: "Say it quickly, tell me quickly."
Flanner said: "The power of an individual is very small, but the power of tens of thousands of people combined is different. I remember that Faras's father is Luke, the finance minister, and the leader of the Royal Knights is General Orlando, speaking of which, they all have a good relationship with you, why not ask them for help."
"you say"
"As long as they say a word, a large number of people can be mobilized to help us investigate. For example, find a young girl working in a tailor shop. According to the management methods of Free Paradise, these tailor shops will have records. We only need to get After collecting these records, and then arranging a number of people to go to each house to check carefully, if you find a similar girl and then go there in person, it is not much better than burying your head and searching randomly like now. "
"That's right." Faras clapped her hands and said, "That's it, Ryan, let's go back. I'll find my father tonight. He will definitely help me with this. I will pester him to agree."
Ryan looked at the excitement on Farasi's face, and a tenderness arose in his heart. Farasi was no better than him. She had already lost her power when she was in the Thunder God Fortress, and she has not fully recovered her magic power yet, but even if In this way, Faras didn't say a word and silently accompanied her to find Bart's fiancée. What regrets could she have if she could get such a girl to accompany her for life
Ryan suddenly stretched out his hand and held Farasi's little hand tightly. The latter blushed and shyly whispered: "I hate it, everyone is looking at us."
"What are you afraid of?" Flanner interrupted: "Ellendo, you block that side, I'll block this side, you two continue, don't worry, no one can see it."
"Disgusting." Faras struggled to break away from Ryan's hand and turned around shyly, while Ryan also had a silly smile on his face, not knowing what to say. Xiaobai turned around and shook Flanner. Tails, I don’t know why Ryan’s face is red, but unfortunately no one pays attention to it.
There was a surge of people, and a large group of people squeezed over. Allendo patted Ryan gently, and the latter immediately woke up, grabbed Faras and walked to the nearby shop. Allendo and Flanner took I followed closely behind and walked into the shop, avoiding the dense flow of people.
Four people stood at the door of the shop and looked outside. They found that these people were wearing civilian clothes. Basically everyone was carrying a package. Moreover, these people were male, female, old and young. They looked like a family. A family that fled,
Ryan and Allen looked at each other, and saw doubtful looks in each other's eyes. Ryan was about to ask Flanner, but heard a man say: "Hey, these people from outside the city have all hid in, and then If this continues, even the central square won’t be able to live in it.”
The four people turned their heads together and saw a man about forty years old standing beside them, with a worried look on his face. Ryan asked, "Excuse me, what's going on with these people." The man said, "Listen. If the Northern Thunder God Fortress has been breached, then the orcs will come here sooner or later. These people are people who live on farms, pastures or manors outside the city. Their masters fled into the city, and they followed them in. "
"Ah, hasn't the empire carried out wartime mobilization? At this time, the army should be deployed uniformly." Faras was familiar with the laws in this area, so she asked: "Why is there such a chaos? What should I do with the farms outside the city? , should it be thrown to the orcs?"
"Huh, wartime mobilization." The man sneered and said: "Those officials and gentlemen are arguing about who will be the king. They can't remember that there are millions of civilians outside the city, let alone think about food. Anyway, if the situation is critical, they can naturally use the teleportation magic circle to escape to Seawind City. Once there, they will not live the same leisurely life."
"So that's it, I understand." Ryan nodded and said, "Excuse me."
The man's face changed slightly, but after looking at Lane and the others, he felt that Lane and the others did not look like spies, so he told him bluntly: "My name is Larry, and I am the owner of this antique shop."
