It wasn't until Rosen completely disappeared from view that Gascoigne let out a deep breath, and the exhaustion from the battle and the pain came rushing together, making him a little unsteady on his feet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Lord Gascoigne, be careful......"

Grandia asked with trepidation as she put her arms around the old knight, and Rosen had saved her twice, and both times had gone straight away, making the nobleman's daughter even more incomprehensible to the undead's mode of action.

"Ahem, leave him alone, if this fire is ignited, Ultramarine Fortress will not have to worry about the invasion of the demon tide for a long time to come. ”

Gascoigne coughed lightly and looked at the blazing flames.

"This is a great opportunity for Bunajien, and we need to get back to Bunagien as soon as possible to inform your lordship. ”

The ignition of the ancient flame directly connected the Ultramarine Fortress to the Land of Order in Bunajin, in other words, even without the embers of the First Fire, people could freely enter and exit the fortress and the Forest of Eternal Night.

The treasures contained in the Eternal Night Forest are huge, not to mention those demonized materials, just the corpses of monsters that have not been burned out are a huge wealth, and the number of these things is so large that even if Gascoigne immediately sends all the guards to collect and search, it will be difficult to obtain them all in a short time.

Once the storm of the Sky Wall subsides, people from the outside will soon know that something has changed, and it will be more than just mercenaries who will come in search of opportunities.

At least in Gascoigne's imagination, the people on Regios' side must try to get their hands on this place, not to mention that they may also have more cultists mixed in, which is the most important thing to guard against.

"Sweep the battlefield and count the dead. ”

Gascoigne looked at the wounded people in the plaza who were supporting each other, and ordered the guards around him, and then summoned Karn, who had finished treating his wounds.

"Karn, you have someone to escort Miss Grandia back to Bunajien as soon as possible, and inform your lord that he should send troops to garrison this place, and at the same time be on guard against Regios's movements. ”

"Yes. ”

Karn nodded, and he asked with some hesitation, glancing again in the direction of Rosen's departure.

"About Lawson ......"

"Lawson's matter, just report it to the local templar, no matter what he is, no matter what he does, the undead are enemies to humans, and leave the rest to the Night's Watch. ”

Gascoigne sighed lightly, if Rosen was not an undead but a true Grey Knight, then a priesthood who had advanced so quickly would be a rare treasure for the Templars and the Order.

But Rosen is the undead, which makes Gascoigne sigh.

But the old knight has no right to dispose of it, and for a bronze-level undead, an old man like him at the peak of black iron will not play a role.

The search and counting of the dead proceeded very slowly, and the mercenaries and guards who were already in the Ultramarine Fortress were okay and had a roster to count, but the mercenaries in the Eternal Night Forest when the demon tide hit became troublesome.

Due to the chaos of the scene, they had to rely on confirming each other's companions to calculate the number of casualties, but many of the adventurer squads simply disappeared entirely, and even the bodies could not be found.

As for the search work, Gascoin gave priority to having people search the vicinity of the core hall, but there had already been a secondary collapse due to the self-explosion of the Winter Wolf Lord, and it was impossible to get through for a while, and the whereabouts of Zelas became an unsolved mystery.

Soon, though, Grantia met a familiar guy.

It was Verus, or a part of Verus's corpse.

This unfortunate aristocratic brother happened to run into a small group of bloodthirsty beasts when the demon tide came, and Verus, who was mostly guarded by Zelas, did not rely on Tyrone's protection for too long, and when he was discovered by the guards, he had become seven pieces of meat, which could only be identified by clothes alone.

As for Tyrone, the lightning sword, he is nowhere to be found, and Gascoigne speculates that he may also be part of the cult.

Almost all of the mercenaries who accompanied Bunagien were killed, except for the Netherlands, who were killed by Rosen due to mutiny, and Karok and Lance, who were killed by the Winter Wolf Lord, and the rest were killed in the fight against the monsters.

The only exception is Lena, the alchemist who disappeared when the demon tide first appeared, and the body was not found until the end, so it is impossible to confirm the situation.

It was nearly late evening that Grantia finally set foot on her way home, and the previous experience was like a dream, and the aristocratic daughter was still reminiscing about the adventure of her life, and at the same time she was a little more curious about Rosen's strange skeleton.

......

City of Regios, late at night.

The events of the Ultramarine Fortress did not reach Regios until midnight, but Baron Bronn Aatrox did not rush to send troops to loot the resources, nor did he even shed a tear for the death of his son.

In the candlelit room, the gray-haired baron's face was cloudy, and he sat behind his desk, in front of which stood none other than Zelas.

Zelath didn't seem to be harmed, and he returned to Regios early after finding what he was looking for with the expensive Transfer Crystal, and then returned to the teleportation point outside the Eternal Night Forest.

"Did you find it?"

Baron Aatrox asked, his voice hoarse, a huge difference from the past.

"Found it, underneath the tomb of the wolf herder, there is indeed a holy relic of the goddess. ”

There was no hint of respect in Zeroth's tone, as if Baron Aatrox were of equal stature to himself, and he pulled out a box wrapped in linen and opened it gently.

It was a ring.

The gilt surface is flickering with candlelight, and the intricate patterns form inscriptions on the inner ring of the ring, and the whole ring exudes a sense of holiness and solemnity, which is an extraordinary item at first glance.

"This is the holy relic, one of the twelve ashes rings left by the goddess. ”

Zeroth said, retracting the ring into the box and carefully tucking it into his arms.

"It's not in vain that I've been pretending to be this stupid baron for so long. ”

Baron Aatrox smiled and said in a very different voice.

"Zelas, mission accomplished, we can evacuate. ”

"That's nature, it's just that the swordsman I met in the fortress......"

Recalling what he saw in the core hall, Zelas was still a little afraid, if he hadn't been lucky enough to go straight to the lower tomb, if he really had to go head-to-head with the swordsman named Lawson, he really wouldn't be sure of victory.

He also wanted to discuss about Rosen with the man named "Thousand Faces", a companion disguised as Baron Aatrox, when Zelas was about to speak, but he heard a loud shout from outside the window.

"Who are you to dare to break into the Baron's Palace!?"
