Chapter 56: An Unexpected Ending

When Song Zheng and Gianna cautiously approached Talenmere, the sprawling grain-processing city in southern Lordaeron was unusually quiet at night.

However, there was no sign of battle near the city gates, not even a trace of blood, and although some lights were lit in the city, the sound of some grain mills rushing to work overnight could be heard, which undoubtedly showed that there was no war here.

"The Church of the Damned didn't come to attack Talenmir?" Song Zheng was a little surprised in his heart, which was completely beyond his expectations.

He was about to enter the city to take a look, when the sound of horses was heard not far away.

Song Zheng originally wanted to hide with Gianna, but with the help of his excellent night vision, he soon discovered that the person sitting on the horse was actually someone he was familiar with.

"Bridget...... Sally...... Where are you going? Song Zheng smiled and beckoned to the visitor.

"Song Zheng? You're still alive?! Bridget was pleasantly surprised to see him.

"Of course I'm still alive, who said I'm dead......" Song Zheng frowned.

"Of course it's Karen, he said you were captured by those syndicate thieves, and Sister Bridget and I were worried to death." It was Sally Whitemayne who spoke, and she looked equally surprised, jumping off her horse excitedly and pounced on Song Zheng.

Song Zheng was immediately moved, he didn't expect that after coming to this world, there would be people who would care about his safety, and they were two pure and beautiful girls.

But as soon as he reached out to hug the beautiful little priest, he heard Sally let out a sudden exclamation, and then rushed towards the ...... Gianna behind Song Zheng.

"Princess Gianna? I'm not mistaken, are you really it?! The little priest almost jumped up with excitement, and that gaze and expression were exactly the same as the expression of an iron fan when he saw an idol.

"They are ......," Gianna looked at Song Zheng with some hesitation.

"They're my friends, this is Sally, she's a probationary priest, this is Bridget, she's a paladin." Song Zheng hurriedly introduced.

"I'll be a full-fledged pastor in no time!" Sally glared at Song Zheng and said angrily.

"Why did you two run out of town in the middle of the night, don't you know how dangerous it is, and ...... You just said Karen said I was captured by syndicate thieves? Did you meet Karen? Song Zheng couldn't help but be surprised when he thought of Sally's words just now.

"Hmm." Sally nodded, but her eyes were still on Gianna.

He ...... Where is he? Song Zheng was already full of surprise on his face, he didn't believe that Karen's strength could escape from those people.

"Right in the city, you may not know it, but the nobles in the city made a deal with the syndicate thieves to exchange gold and supplies for the captured ones." Bridget said with some disdain.

"......" Song Zheng couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

Exchanging prisoners for money, although this is in line with the style of those syndicate thieves, but Song Zheng knows that behind those syndicate thieves is the Cursed Church, with the character of those guys, he should take the opportunity to attack Tarummir or simply start a plague here and turn the entire Tarunmir into a city of the dead.

"Is it just the Syndicate who came to make the exchange?" Gianna also frowned slightly, obviously this was also very surprised by her expectations.

"Yes, it was the leader of the syndicate who sent the emissary, and the mayor and the nobles quickly agreed to the thieves' demands, and Sister Bridget and I felt that the nobles were too weak to stay in Tarenmere any longer." Sally hurriedly scrambled to explain to Gianna.

"Could this be some conspiracy, didn't you say that it was the Church of the Damned who was really leading the matter?" Hearing this, Gianna couldn't help but look at Song Zheng with some doubts.

"Yes, I'm sure the Church of the Damned is behind this, and they should have a bigger conspiracy, but maybe your father is already here, and it is said that Lordaeron has sent the elite of the Silver Hand to Tarun Mill, and Dalaran has also sent a team of mages, so the Church of the Damned may not want to expose itself too much at this time." Song Zheng analyzed.

This is the only way to explain why those cursed church guys were kind enough to let those noble children go.

"Hmm...... It is indeed possible that the people of the Church of the Damned, since they have just attacked my convoy, will definitely not be afraid of the nobles of Tarunmere. Gianna nodded slightly.

However, her face soon turned cold, and she said in a deep voice: "It is absolutely impossible for those guys to calm down the matter by releasing those noble children, they have attacked the team escorting me and killed a large number of knights who protect me, and I have already sworn to avenge those knights who protect me." ”

"Those syndicate thieves dare to attack Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is indeed bold, I am willing to follow Her Royal Highness the Princess to exterminate those hateful thieves!" Bridget immediately chimed in.

"I am willing, I am willing, Your Highness Princess, I am also willing." Sally Whitemane also hurriedly raised her little hand.

Song Zheng couldn't help but be speechless for a while when he saw this, he finally came out of the Alterac Mountain, and he had no idea of returning at all, but he definitely couldn't say anything against it in front of these beautiful women.

"Her Royal Highness Princess...... Shall we go to your father, his troops must be reaching Talenmir soon. Song Zheng suggested that if he went to the Alterac Mountains alone with Gianna to try to sneak up on those syndicate thieves, he would still be a little confident, after all, Gianna's magic is very powerful, as long as she kills it, there is no problem at all, but if you take Bridget and Sally, it is likely that she will not be able to escape.

"My father...... Okay, let's go find him. Gianna hesitated for a moment, but nodded anyway.

Fearing a syndicate or a cursed church in Natalunmir, several of them did not enter the city again, except that Bridget gave up her horse to Gianna.

Gianna didn't refuse this, she has been walking through the mountains and forests for the past few days, and she is indeed tired.

"Song Zheng, where did you rescue Princess Gianna, it's really handsome." On the way, the little priest whispered to Song Zheng with a gossipy face.

"It's in the Alterac Mountains, but it's not me who saved her, it's she who saved me......" Song Zheng smiled bitterly.
