Chapter 44: The Missing Gianna

The sound of the horses' hooves was getting closer and closer like thunder, and even the ground was already shaking.

Karen's face also became cloudy with the sound of the horse's hooves, and the war horse under her kept kicking the horse's hooves.

If it weren't for being watched by a group of subordinates, Song Zheng suspected that this guy would have escaped.

However, Song Zheng himself was actually quite nervous, he had seen the knight's charge, and once he started, it was almost endless.

The knights from the south finally appeared in front of them, but what was rather speechless was that these knights were under the banner of Lordaeron.

"It's your own people!" Karen immediately showed a look of surprise, and quickly recognized the other party's origin: "It's the troops of Nanhai Town, don't panic." ”

Song Zheng was also pleasantly surprised, it seemed that Nanhai Town had also received the rescue information and sent a cavalry team to the rescue.

However, he remembered that the captain of the knights in Southsea Town was Philip, and he had seen him in the Church of Light in Talummere not long ago, and he didn't know who led these knights now.

Those knights from Nanhai Town also showed surprise after seeing Song Zheng and the others, and hurriedly stopped their horses, and were even more shocked when they saw the corpses on the ground.

"What's going on? We've got word that someone is going to attack Princess Gianna, what's going on here? A middle-aged knight at the head shouted anxiously.

When Song Zheng heard this, his heart immediately sank.

These knights from the south don't even know what's going on!

This undoubtedly means that they did not see any anomalies on the road, and naturally they did not see Gianna!

"If Gianna hadn't gone south, then where would she have gone...... Song Zheng didn't dare to continue thinking in his heart, if Gianna had an accident, it would indicate that the entire history of Azeroth could change!

"Is it Sheriff Redpass in Southsea Town? I'm Karen, the Knight Captain of Talenmere, and I've heard my father talk about you a lot. Karen hurriedly stepped forward to salute the middle-aged knight.

Song Zheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, he had lived in Nanhai Town for a long time before, so he naturally knew that this sheriff actually controlled most of the army in Nanhai Town, and it could be said that he was the second person in Nanhai Town besides the mayor.

"That guy Carl seems to be surnamed Redpass, does it have anything to do with the sheriff of this South Sea Town?" Song Zheng suddenly remembered that the unconscious young paladin beside him was also surnamed Redpass.

With the fact that he can become a paladin at a young age, and can also follow Gianna's side, it is impossible to say that he does not have a strong background background, after all, it is difficult for civilians to become a knight, let alone become a paladin.

"Karen...... I've heard of you, you're a nice young man, but what's going on with these corpses here...... Cal? The sheriff was asking, but his eyes suddenly fell on the unconscious Karl, and he immediately let out an exclamation.

"Here...... There's a battle here, and Her Highness Gianna seems to have been attacked, do you know this paladin? He is a survivor of this battle. Karen replied quickly.

"Her Highness Gianna has been attacked?!" The sheriff, who had jumped off his horse and was about to check on Carl's status, was immediately stunned.

"Yes, the knights who escorted Her Highness Gianna for hundreds of meters have all been killed, and Her Highness Gianna is also missing, this paladin Karl ...... We are the only survivors we have found. Karen said.

"Oh my God...... This...... How could this ......" The burly sheriff's body shook involuntarily, and he almost fell to the ground.

What happened then was that the two cavalry teams began to nervously and anxiously search the surrounding mountains and forests for Gianna's whereabouts, but until dark they found nothing.

However, the paladin Karl has been unconscious, and it is difficult for everyone to obtain useful information.

"I'll take Carl back to Nanhai to ask the priest for treatment, but as for the situation here...... Since Karen, you arrived first and are more familiar with the matter, then you will continue to be responsible, and those knights I brought can be under your command for the time being, no matter what, you must find the whereabouts of Princess Gianna, otherwise...... We're in big trouble! Sheriff Redpass said in a deep voice.

Song Zheng and the others already knew that he was Carl's uncle, and it was very normal for him to take Carl away, but no one dared to accept the matter of looking for Gianna.

"How can this be done, I'm still too young, I'm the junior of Lord Redpass, and this is the junction of Tarunmere and Nanhai Town, so things here are naturally up to Lord Redpass, and I and my knights are all at your disposal." Karen, who was born in the aristocracy, was naturally not stupid enough to take all the responsibility herself, so she immediately grabbed the sheriff and refused to let him go no matter what.

As a result, the badly injured Carl was escorted back to Southsea for treatment, while Sheriff Redpass remained here and sighed.

In fact, such a big thing has happened, and it is impossible for anyone to completely shirk responsibility.

"It has been many years since there has been a large-scale battle in Lordaeron, and this time five or six hundred knights have died at once, and the princess of Kul Tiras is missing, and the king will certainly inquire about it himself...... This...... These syndicate thieves are too bold, no, they're crazy! I should have hanged all those madmen in the first place! Sheriff Redpass paced back and forth in exasperation, cursing at the towering Alterac Mountains in the distance.

Song Zheng is not good at this moment to explain that the real murderer behind the scenes is the Cursed Church, after all, all this is caused by him, and Gianna's disappearance can also be said to be implicated by him.

In the middle of the night, another force arrived, but it was reinforcements from the Church of Light in Talummere, including not only the knights, but also many priests and paladins who accompanied them.

To Song Zheng's surprise, Sally Whitemayne and Bridget Abydis also followed.

"Why did you guys get here? Sally...... Didn't I let you go back to Talummere to rest? ”

"Sister Bridget is coming, of course I'm going to come along, and all the pastors from Talenmere are here this time, I'm also a pastor, so naturally I want to come together, this is the priest's duty to understand it." The little priest struggled to make excuses for himself.

"Then you know how dangerous it is here, even Her Highness Gianna has been attacked." Song Zheng said worriedly.

"We know, I've heard about it halfway through, and there's an order from above to enter the Alterac Mountains at once to encircle and suppress those daring syndicate thieves, who killed me with poison last time, and I must take revenge this time!" Even though it was dark at night, there was a clear glint of excitement in Bridget's eyes.
