"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, I'm in charge of the night patrol tonight, I'm leading the team
As usual, I went out from the north gate. When I detoured to the west gate, I happened to meet Letoz and his party escorting several seriously injured dwarves. Two of those dwarves died on the way, and one fell into a serious coma. However,
According to Letoz, the dwarf mentioned that His Majesty Reynolds was under siege before he fell unconscious and hoped that we would rush to rescue him 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, so he suffered such huge losses in the ambush of the Undead Army. This was indeed a bit disappointing.
People are surprised.
As the dwarf king, Reynolds's guards are all the most elite rock defenders among the dwarves. Each of them holds an ax and a 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 bright 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 tragedy of the Imperial Capital has been avoided from happening again.
Any resident suspected of being infected with a serious disease or suffering a loss while fighting the undead
Injured soldiers will be placed in such an aid center, and the Church of Light in Iron Fist Castle also has a small church here. More than four-fifths of the pastors of the Cassano branch of the Church of Light 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 answered.
En 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 countless stories about Ryan
deeds, but this was the first time for me to see Ryan unleash such magical magic with my own eyes.
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 shooters 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 also learned some dwarf language due to the presence of many dwarves and orcs in Cassano, although direct communication was still difficult.
Somewhat difficult, but simple vocabulary is still
It was understandable. When Letoz heard several key words from the two semi-conscious dwarves: "Your Majesty", "Danger", "Undead", "Surrounded" and other key words, he guessed that
Whatever happened, naturally he 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 here. 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 a little inappropriate. I suspect that they may have been infected with some undead plague or suffered an evil curse.
, do you see?"
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 carefully for a few days. In addition, the North District should be sealed off immediately to avoid possible infection.
"
"Yes, sir!" Letoz replied immediately, and then explained: "I immediately isolated the entire North District after I arrived here. There are no patients here, so 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 over the top, it was arranged very properly. If Ryan 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, "Come to think of it, we have known each other for five or six years, right? Let's have a good chat when 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,
After the test, Ryan has completely trusted himself and plans to truly entrust him with important tasks. 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. From
Due to the plan of the Undead Army, a split occurred within the Church of Light in the imperial capital. The cardinals who went to Seike City naturally died unexpectedly or became undead, and the 12 cardinal positions in the Church of Light were left vacant.
, Reid promoted newcomers to his heart's content with strong support, because
Almost all the opposing voices died in Seike City or were secretly suppressed by Victor and others. Therefore, no one dared to make a conspiracy in the whole process. There was no more seniority, no exchange and compromise of power.
The truth that is only tested by piety and the strength of light magic will eventually be revealed from the entire light
Eight people who were truly devout believers in God were selected from the Ming Church to fill the vacancy of the cardinal. At the same time, a full 17 additional bishops were promoted. This was the first time in the 200 years of the Cathedral of San Nebiro in the imperial capital that something like this had happened.
It was a grand event, 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.
Strong enough to withstand strong
Powerful attacks, and because of the characteristics of black iron, it is not afraid of magic damage. When facing a small group of dwarf rock defenders, even if 5,000 popular archers are used to attack them in turn, they may not be able to defeat them. It is definitely called "the most defensive power"
"Strong" title.
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 the close-fitting clothes. The exposed skin seems to be telling this.
What kind of hard battle did the dwarf rock defender go through?
, there are all kinds of scars on his arms, thighs, chest, etc. Although they no longer bleed after treatment, there are varying degrees of decay, and a foul-smelling yellow pus seeps out from these scars.
, filling the whole room with a pungent smell.
Ryan could identify what these scars, pus and rotten skin meant at a glance. They were corroded by the undead corpse poison and affected by the evil curse, which could destroy the black iron armor on the outside and severely injure the bodies of these rock defenders.
, obviously the undead army they encountered definitely had very strong strength, maybe more powerful than what they used in Casa this time.
The giant skeletons on the Nuo battlefield are even more powerful. They may be the dark rune knights who caused the New Year's tragedy in the imperial capital last time. However, this is just Ryan's conjecture. He has to repeatedly check the tattered dwarf armor before he can finally confirm it. Of course,
If Bishop Quincy can save this dwarf, then it would be best to let him do it himself.
