Except for Assesses, everyone else gets together, not every day is idle only tea parties, on the contrary, without Green's "Yiyantang" style to preside over the overall situation, many things are very troublesome, and the implementation of each large-scale project needs to be discussed by everyone before they can make up their minds, so whenever they get together, it is actually often the busiest time. Green, who has not yet left the trial space, may find it difficult to imagine that his group of subordinates actually took advantage of his absence to create some kind of council system, but his reaction will probably be more happy, after all, according to his heart, Green never thinks that he is a personal type, at least in terms of territorial affairs, he would like to push it all to Albert and them.

It's just that I'm afraid that a certain noblewoman of Endymion will complain even more about the heavy workload and the complete lack of effort to conduct scientific research.

“…… This one and this one can be implemented now, and the remaining four items will be put on hold for now, not to mention the first three, at least the last one must wait for His Highness Green's decision. Albert took the note that Lilith had just written, and quickly came up with a response policy.

Lilith let out an "um" and took it back to rewriting.

The eagle-headed avenger standing behind suddenly moved his ears.

The Dark Mage caught a glimpse of its strangeness, "Delga? ”

The others subconsciously looked at the Eagle-headed Avenger, only to see it make a silent gesture in confusion. After just a moment of silence, the continuous sound outside the window suddenly became clear-

Alarm bells rang for a long time.

"Something's wrong!" Albert's face changed, and he threw down the alchemy in his hand and walked out. The others looked suspicious, and Lilith took the lead in throwing down her work to follow Albert, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed.

The hall of the lords was located on the inner side of the cliff side of Jinlunga, although it was far away from the side facing the forest, but it was only a matter of minutes to run past, and the group quickly reached the inner fortress wall. Here Altyn separated from the group and rushed to the watchtower on the inside of the inner fort to inquire about the situation, while the others followed the stairs up the inner fort walls to observe the situation. The City of Origin of Kinlunga is a fortress building, a variant of the Axis Ring Castle, which has two concentric castle parapets, with an inner wall higher than the outer wall to provide archers with a greater field of view and firing range. and provide crossfire to the facades. Above the inner ring, circular towers were built at intervals, and the elaborately designed towers and gatehouses held out independently even when the enemy attacked the inner walls. When Altyn occupied, if it weren't for the lack of manpower, there was no personnel assigned to defend the inner wall, otherwise he was stationed on the inner wall higher than the outer wall, and Green might not have been able to climb it with a navigation arrow.

The group hurried up the city wall inspected by a small number of soldiers, except for the unhappiness of not being able to say that they were not at all, and the others were exhausted and panting. Finally picking up on the battlements and looking out, Albert's face was instantly solemn.

In the distance above the forest, the colorful elements have not yet dissipated, and small black dots can be vaguely seen flying up and down in the air, which is the warning signal released by the lake fairies who are in charge of guarding work in the forest. According to the agreed signal standards, this is already the mode of detecting a hundred-man unit.

"The secret here is extremely high, how can it be discovered?" Albert frowned, looking at the colors in the air and muttering to himself. "Could it be that the road repair team has been discovered? But it doesn't make sense, even if it is discovered, it can't be confirmed that there is anything on the mountain. Is it just a passing team? ”

"Probably not, Miss Vivien said that the patrol range of the lake elves is limited to that forest, and if it is a passing team, it should not be detected." Lilith looked in the direction of the forest, nodded her chin and analyzed, "And the lake elves should only warn against hostile people." Although Arieti may seem unreliable, at least Miss Vivien can tell the difference. ”

Albert nodded and shook his head. The previous sentence is indeed reasonable, and Master Hu Cong has to sigh at the progress of this noble lady, but the latter sentence completely exposes her "cover-up" psychology, this noble daughter has the experience of treating lake goblins. I have a very good relationship with the lake fairies, so it is inevitable that there will be suspicions of speaking for them. As for Albert, he didn't have much confidence in the mischievous and unserious character of the lake elves, and he even doubted that if a few lake goblins flew and crashed into a tree without looking at the road, they would immediately send several signals to the sky for help and the enemy attacking.

"That...... It can't be a chasing soldier in the swamp, right? ”

Altyn, who had just run back from the watchtower, happened to hear the conversation between Albert and Lilith and asked worriedly. It joined Grimm's camp, on the one hand, it was forced by the form, and on the other hand, of course, it also hoped to seek refuge, and whenever it heard that an enemy was coming, it always looked terrified.

"You can rest assured, since you have chosen to be loyal to Your Highness, we will never abandon you." Albert patted the white-haired ronin and motioned for it to relax, "How's that, what did the Sentinel say?" ”

Altyn's face was slightly calm, and he hurriedly replied as he remembered the result of his question, "The sentry gnolls said that there was a time before that a large number of birds were startled in the forest near the eastern cliff area, but because of the distance, they did not see any creature figures. ”

Eastern Forest?

Albert turned to look at the lush woods, which suddenly made him feel a little tricky.

The city of Jinlunga is located on a mountain outside the border of the kingdom of Rodland, and the only way to connect with the outside world is the mountain road to the west, and in fact, except for the city of Jinlunga on the top of the mountain, all the rest of the mountain is the territory of nature, Lake Avalon is just a small piece of land in the forest, and the other mountains and forests are vast, at least they know from the lake elves that even the most adventurous lake elves have not been able to swim the entire forest.

In terms of territorial construction and future development, this is actually a good thing, with a forest of this size, timber can be called inexhaustible, and in the future, the income of the territory will at least be guaranteed by the logging yard, and even provide jobs. Aside from the timber, the huge forest means a considerable number of wild animals and abundant plants, so the corresponding hunting and gathering are naturally not worried, and the captive wild animals can also be developed and formed, in short, the forest is equal to rich resources, and because of the special geographical location of Jinlunga. This forest is also equivalent to being owned by Jinlunga, and the benefits for the City of Origin are itching just to think about.

But now, another problem that Albert had been worried about has come to light.

They had limited manpower, and they couldn't detect anything in the forest.

Although subjectively speaking, the forest is naturally full of animals and magical beasts, but since this is the territory of the past seven generations. Albert would always subconsciously consider whether there were any nests of creatures in the forest, and this kind of thing could not only produce an ownerless army, but also be coveted by various forces, who rushed to occupy Jinlunga because of a clear purpose and a clear direction, but it was difficult to ensure that other forces entered the forest with one purpose or another.

If it is the future, it can also use the power of the lake elves and flying troops to patrol the forest, but if it is the forces that have entered the forest before they occupy Jinlunga, Albert really has no way to deal with them. Altyn had been holding on to Golden Lunga, and the lake goblins were in a state of confusion at that moment. It is possible that the person who sees other forces knows nothing, and it is impossible for him to have any good way.

And now it seems that his fears are not unfounded.

"If the detection of the lake elves is indeed credible, then there must be some team that entered the forest long before us," Albert sighed, looking at the forest to the east with a solemn expression, "Now I just hope that this team has achieved its goal and left as soon as possible, and not in the direction of Jinlunga." ”

Lilith looked at Albert. His lips squirmed, but he didn't speak.

It's just a girl's heart. There is no doubt that some concern has arisen.

Mr. Green, where the hell have you gone?

In fact, it was not only her, Altyn was afraid that the swamp would send pursuers, Albert was worried about whether he would be attacked and whether it would affect Green's trials, and as for Delga, he was more worried about whether a shelter would last long. Of all of them, there is still only the unhappy and ruthless xù fluctuations.

After all, a skeleton warrior, no matter how "brave" it is, is just a skeleton.

"Debriefing."

With steady steps, the bronze-skinned giant man ascended the stairs, accompanied by two Kunali Broken Sword Guards. The first sentence of the opening was the voice of the ancient well. For the first time, it made people feel calm, and some uneasy people saw his appearance, and the atmosphere suddenly calmed down.

Albert raised an eyebrow, then turned around, "Ahh ”

Commander Kunali nodded expressionlessly, not saying much.

Earlier, when he saw the Lake Elf casting a warning spell, Assesis guessed that the situation was not good. They were in the mountain road, of course, it was impossible to hear the alarm bells ringing, but with the presence of the commander, it was meaningless whether the alarm bell was there or not, and he immediately determined the authenticity of the alarm, and then ordered everyone to withdraw to Jinlunga. Most of the team that repaired the road was made up of gnolls, and when they heard that it was a critical situation, the werewolves ran faster than anyone else, and if it weren't for Acesis' great power, I am afraid they would have thrown their tools in the middle of the road.

Although he was a mercenary, Altyn had also joined the regular army, so he was in awe of the tall Kunali and immediately compiled the information he had discovered.

"Although it has not yet been attacked, the possibility of an enemy attack cannot be ruled out." At the end of Altyn's report, Albert added his opinion, "I think you can also guess that it should be the team that infiltrated the forest earlier, but the power, the size of the army, the strength, and the motive are all unknown, which is really a headache." ”

The Assisians were tall and large, looking at the eastern forest without saying a word, but there was a kind of majesty that took the heart away.

"Well, shouldn't we get in touch with the lake elves?" When the Supreme Military Commander arrived, Lilith spoke more cautiously, for fear that she would be reprimanded for being naïve, "They have been giving signals, will they attract the enemy?" That's too dangerous, should we bring them into the city? ”

The commander did not respond, but Albert replied.

"You don't have to worry about that." Albert scratched his head and said helplessly, "Actually, the lake elves are much safer than us, although Lake Avalon is outside the city of Jinlunga, but the fog that surrounds it has the effect of being psychedelic and reclusive, and people who walk through it often unconsciously deviate from the location of Lake Avalon. This is one of the reasons for its mysterious legend. Rather than worrying about Lake Avalon being attacked, let's think about how to hold on to Kingenga. ”

Previously, he was able to enter the location of Lake Avalon, firstly, because his identity as the son of Grimm Rongjun played a special role, and secondly, due to the berserk of the patronus god Flogg, which disrupted the effect of the guardian fog. Now that Frog is sane, Vivien has awakened from her long slumber at the bottom of the lake. The fog surrounding Lake Avalon is even more effective than ever, and as Albert said, the territory of the lake elves is the last place to worry.

"The defense mechanism is ajar, ready to attack."

Assesis suddenly spoke, as if in this very short period of time, he had completed the analysis and processing of the enemy's situation.

Lilith turned, grabbed her skirt and ran down the city.

"I—I mean we, we can keep it...... Can you? ”

Altyn touched the hammer on his back. I asked with some trepidation.

It sounded so unconfident that Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes before realizing how similar it was to Green.

Your Highness Green, you must pass the guò trial......

Albert prayed silently in his heart, turned around and walked towards the city wall, "The military commander will ask you Assesis, I will prepare alchemy for strategic purposes, and I will be notified if there is a situation." "Before leaving. He glanced at the white-haired gnoll with a panicked look on his face again, "If Your Highness comes back and finds that the fortress is lost." You're just waiting to lose your head. ”

…… If you don't do what I do, I'll kill you every minute......

Altyn suddenly remembered what Green had said to him in the dungeon, and shuddered. It snapped a strange military salute peculiar to a swamp, and expressed to Assess its determination to defend the castle "in the city and in the city".

"There must be no loss in the city of Jinlunga."

Commander Kunali, who was always reticent, surprisingly said a complex sentence in the lingua franca.

Albert, who had reached the middle of the stairs, looked moved and heard Assesis' second sentence. There was a resolute look on his face.

The commander stood straight on the city wall, his majestic back meeting the eyes of the soldiers, his bronzed skin shining in the sunlight like a statue standing up to the sky.

"The enemy must die."

The location is a decently decorated room, when the first rays of sunlight shine in through the windowsill. When the boy opened his eyes, he was greeted by a brown draper.

He moved his eyelids with great effort, and finally the fatigue subsided.

"Hmm...... Where is it? ”

When Green saw the decoration of this room, he suddenly realized and sat up from the bed suddenly.

"That's right, Guardian Goddess!"

He subconsciously turned his head to look out the window, the sun was shining and the weather was fine, and there was no sign of disaster at all. Green blinked in confusion, and the memories of the time before the coma came back to his mind in an instant, the celebration shrouded in intrigue, the white behemoth prototype of the purple-haired goddess, the city guards who committed suicide attacks, and finally the group of mages who stepped out of the air.

"Supreme Ode to the Funeral!"

With his clear mind, Green finally remembered who those people were. The Supreme Funeral Society, a sect with human mages who believe in the Lord of the Eternal Night as its main members, believes that death is the true beginning. In the past, the formal church still lived on the mainland, especially in the strange era of the struggle for hegemony among hundreds of ethnic groups, this kind of organization that was tantamount to a cult in later generations was rampantly popular, and it also became a mercenary force in various countries because of its extremely high cost performance.

Green himself had no contact with the organization, but he knew a lot about it for no other reason, strictly speaking, the members of the Supreme Funeral Society were actually the predecessors of the Dia Necromancer.

"How did these guys end up in the city?"

Thinking of the identity of the black cloth mage, Green couldn't help but have some doubts. Although accepted by many kingdoms, the Supreme Funeral Society existed only as a mercenary force in war, and there is probably only one explanation for such a situation as being stationed directly in the city without being ordered by the king.

State religion.

The state religion of the Middle Ages was different from the church responsible for propagating the ideas of the state in the future, but an organization that provided military power for the kingdom, and the kingdom gave it the right to choose believers. However, such cooperation is often established when the church headquarters is close to the kingdom or even the national capital, and Green can't help but wonder where the country in his memory is, and how can it be next to the lair of the ancestors of the necromancers?

But that's the end of the relationship.

Although he knew that this was just a situation in his memory, but when he had already pacified the white beast, he was intervened by the Supreme Funeral Society, which made Green extremely unhappy, and he decided to go to the king to ask for clarification.

Turning over, Green noticed that the injuries on his body had actually healed. Yan Zhan's injury healed so quickly, he himself was a little difficult to be confident, probably because of the memory space. Green found the clothes prepared by the palace servants on the table beside him, dressed up and walked out. It was only when he pushed open the door that the sound of discussion outside the door suddenly came in.

“…… The boy hasn't woken up yet, so I'm afraid it's a good thing. ”

"It's rude to say this, but the hero who exposed the conspiracy, His Majesty the King said that he would summon him personally."

"I said that I was summoned, but I was actually worried that he would do something stupid after hearing about it. The night before yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that the boy and the Patronus were very compatible, and the enraged Patronus-sama was at peace! It's hateful that the group of black-skinned monsters suddenly attacked the Patronus, and as a result, His Majesty the King had to give an order...... Alas, when I think that my kid is talking about it all day long, it turns out to be such a bunch of savage bastards, and I don't get angry. ”

"So His Majesty's order to seal the Patron Deity is true? Oh, no wonder, if the boy knows, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it from the love. ”

"Yes, yes, the Patron Saint is so gentle, anyone who has met her will fall under her charm, let alone that kind of communication."

……

The boy had no intention of listening any further, and all his attention was focused on the word "seal".

He originally wanted to immediately open the door and ask what was going on, but he quickly thought of the result of the matter - the white giant beast that had just stabilized his feelings must have been provoked again by the people of the Supreme Funeral Party, and the outburst of love was out of control. Although I don't know what kind of price the kingdom paid for this, the result is probably that the king completely defeated the guardian god for the safety of the capital and the people, and finally asked the Supreme Funeral Council to seal the guardian spirit.

"He probably missed the old feelings, so he didn't give the order to be executed."

Green's impression of this king Xià is not bad, but the thought of the purple-haired goddess being sealed in a dark corner makes people feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Damn the Supreme Funeral!

He clenched his fists, and thousands of thoughts swirled through his mind.

If you just let it go, how can you redeem it? I must find the Patronus, but the king cannot go to see him, and dissuasion will not be effective, and in turn he may be placed under house arrest.

- Then I have to rely on my own strength.

Green gritted his teeth, since entering the trial space, nothing has been smooth, and it can even be said that everything has failed, and every response to the incident has ended in failure, which makes him feel extremely bored.

But he resolutely chose to continue.

If nothing else, just begging for the crying pity in the dream.

"Wait for me."

Green took a deep breath and his gaze fell on the ledge behind him.

Wait for me! (To be continued......)
