Falohyde silently calculated for a moment and raised his head: "Mage of the Great Terrans, if you follow your requirements, the existing Silver Dragon Steel can make four giant arrows. If I were to reforge all the spare weapons in those armories that would have been for the Thunderbolt Guard, I would be able to craft two more. A total of six arrows, is it enough? ”

"It should be enough." Gordon said.

Although according to the most ideal scenario, they killed the black dragon before it could be repaired. But there are always accidents in everything, in case the black dragon Taimodaros wakes up in advance, then while the other party is in a weak state, he can also have the strength to fight, and he will not be helpless.

In addition, even if you are lucky enough to kill the black dragon that is still repairing and in a dormant state according to the plan, these huge arrows made of silver dragon steel can also be used to deal with demons.

The tall body of the Barlo Flame Demon is as vivid and eye-catching as a firefly in the dark night, even among the demon groups, and is an excellent target for crossbow shooting.

Finally, after explaining something, the Gordon siblings and Faria bid farewell to the remnants of the dead of the Kingdom of Sedin and left the underground.

It was already morning, and the faint golden sunlight was shining through the wet mist of the hot spring area, and under the steaming water, it changed into a variety of colors, presenting a dreamlike scene in front of the three of them.

However, Gordon did not have time to appreciate this qiē, and he took Sheona and Faria to search around, but still found no trace of Dorn and Miss Julian, so the three had to return to the station.

Thankfully, the three warhorses did not have any accidents during the ghost dragon servant attack last night. These graceful and sturdy cloven-hoofed animals are leisurely wandering under a large pine tree, munching on the grass that is rarely seen outside at this time of year.

Leaving the humid hilly hot springs, it wasn't long before Gordon's communication brooch received a message from Dorne. It turns out that this guy has been taking Miss Julian with him for a long time. Went back safely.

Gordon smiled and shook his head, secretly saying that he was really worried about this guy in vain.

After the peace was reported, Dorne told Sù Gordon that there was another big incident in the camp and that he needed to hurry back. Due to the restrictions of the communication brooch, it was impossible for the two to make things clear in a short phone call, and Gordon could only speed up his horse and strive to return as soon as possible.

Galloping back the same way, outside the camp, Gordon had not yet dismounted. I saw Dorne waiting. Mr. Lannister. His handsome face, which most women would be intoxicated by, was full of tiredness, bags under his eyes were puffing, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. I don't know if it was because of a certain major event that he didn't have a good rest, or simply because he was taking a mandarin duck bath with his little lover. Encountering hordes of undead, I was so scared that I didn't sleep.

"Friends. You're finally back. I knew you wouldn't have any surprises. Dorne walked in front of Gordon in three steps and two steps. Pat the latter on the shoulder.

"Last night's encounter, it's a long story......," Gordon paused, "By the way, how did you escape those ghost attacks?" ”

Dorn shrugged his shoulders, a look of helplessness between his eyebrows: "I don't know where those crazy undead who don't understand the amorous feelings came out." Not only did they mess with my good deeds, but they also made me waste a family magic item. ”

All right. With this guy's life experience, there will always be some hole cards on his body to save his life, and it seems that he is really worried.

"You just sent a message to me about a big incident, what is it?" Gordon asked.

That's when it happened. Not far from the camp, in the tent of a certain nobleman, a sacred white light bloomed. Gordon felt the discrete energy rippling in the air and said, "That should be Pastor Angelo using the magic technique of expelling toxins, someone has been poisoned?" ”

"You guessed it right." Dorne glanced in the direction of the divine magic glow, "It's Viscount Abt, a kind old noble gentleman, who suddenly fell to the ground with poison during his meal this morning. Later, it was investigated that the tea he drank was poisonous. ”

"Premeditated murder?"

"Nope. This is because the water in which Viscount Abt makes his tea comes from that creek. In addition to this viscount, sixty other people have been poisoned this morning because they drank water from the stream. It's just that among these poisoned people, there are very few who are qualified to receive divine treatment like Viscount Abt. Now Ms. Bishop has ordered a ban on taking water from creeks. ”

"So this large-scale poisoning incident, have you found the murderer? Did someone in the team do it? Gordon asked. A name immediately came to his mind: Burdisso. Baratheon. This "human traitor," who has a 99 percent chance of taking refuge in the devil, is suspected of poisoning.

"If only it were as you guessed." Dorne smiled bitterly, "The big thing that really needs you to discuss is not poisoning, but about the movements of demons. Remember the magic alert we set up before we came out of that crystal cavern? ”

"Of course." Gordon nodded, his expression grim.

When it was decided that the team would move deeper into the Ancient Path, knowing that the sacred barrier at the entrance of the cave was weakening, Gordon, Dorne, and Miss Bishop had discussed it and decided to set up a touch teleportation alarm at the entrance of the cave. As soon as the demonic aura of chaos and evil is sensed, the alarm is triggered, sending the message to one of Dorne's ruby rings.

When the ruby ring flashes, it means that the sacred enchantment has completely failed, and the demon army has entered the ancient path.

There is more than one such touch alarm. Every ten kilometers, Dorne sets up a magical alarm until he leaves the Crystal Cave. By doing so, you will be able to roughly estimate the degree of march of the demon army so that you can make a timely response.

"At twelve o'clock last night, when I escaped from the ghost siege at the hot springs and fled back to camp with Helen, I happened to receive the first news that the magic alarm had been triggered."

Dorne swallowed a mouthful of spit and added, "And then at one o'clock, the second magic alarm was touched. After that, every hour, a magic alarm will be triggered. ”

"In other words, the marching degree of the demon army is ten kilometers per hour?" After casually saying the results of this calculation, Gordon himself couldn't help but gasp.

Generally speaking, the normal march of a human army is four to five kilometers per hour. Ms. Bishop's team, which is a mix of civilians and non-military personnel, is even slower, at two or three kilometers per hour.

In this way, it is only a matter of time before they are caught up by demons.

Under the coercion of the Barlo Flame Demon, the rapid march of the demons was really quite amazing.

"I have examined the poisoned for signs of life, and now the toxin has an abyss element of chaos and evil." Dorne continued, "It is clear that the demon army has left the Crystal Cavern, found the source of the creek, and poisoned it. ”

"I'm afraid this toxin will make people miserable and unable to move, but it won't kill people immediately, right?"

"How do you know, did you use the spells of the Prophecy School?" Dorn looked at his friend in surprise.

"Because demons are smart. Having the upper hand, they do not need to rely on poisoning to weaken our combat effectiveness. What these demons need most now is to catch up with us before our reinforcements arrive, then hunt them all down, complete the Crimson Hunt ritual, and finally escape. If we have a group of patients in our team who are unable to move because they are poisoned, wouldn't it be easier to catch up with us? ”

Dorne's face fell, "I admire your reasoning skills, my dear Gordon, but the smarter the demon, the worse it will be for us." ”

Faria and Sheona stood next to the two mages, quietly listening to their conversation. Although they didn't say a word, they still had a deep understanding of the sharp turn of the shape, and the four of them were silent and the atmosphere was solemn. Especially knowing that there is still a black dragon to deal with, the three Gordons are a little more worried than Dorne.

At that moment, a herald ran up and took them to Ms. Bishop's tent.

When Pastor Angelo, who had expelled the toxin for Viscount Abt, entered the tent, the improvised decision-making layer of the fleeing party was all there.

After a brief discussion, the crowd showed rare efficiency, and decided to gather the poisoned people and send them to a remote cave in the forest, and send some people to take care of them. And the team immediately got ready.

No one objected to this decision, not even the old Earl Thompson, who often contradicted Miss Bishop's faction in order to show his wisdom and sensibility.

Because the nobles among the poisoned have all been cured by the priest's magic. The rest of the people are all civilians. And in some cases, commoners, in the eyes of the aristocracy, are not human beings at all, but consumables that can be sacrificed at any time.

Throwing these people into the forest is almost the same as sending them into the hands of demons. While it is possible for the demons to ignore these poor people who are placed in the middle of nowhere, no one willingly takes such a risk.

A cruel and realistic decision.

It seems that the demons really overestimated the kindness of human beings, thinking that by using this method, they could slow down their progress.

"Although it is a bit hypocritical to say this, for the sake of the overall situation, we can only temporarily abandon these poisoned people. May Bahamut bless them. Ms. Bishop sighed deeply and said. It was as if she had already taken out all the strength she had made when she made this decision.

Although even if this decision is spread in the future, no one will accuse them of being ruthless. Even in front of the gods, they have a clear conscience - "for the sake of greater good, a part of the group can be sacrificed" is the principle that the gods of order and goodness believe in, but there are still some people who find it very uncomfortable - such as Xie Ona, who is still not deeply involved in the world.

Gordon could only squeeze his sister's hand tightly as a sign of comfort. (To be continued!)
