As soon as the shackles on his hands and feet were removed, Ruth immediately took off his mage robe, draped it over Jiaxi, and then hugged the girl tightly, as if he couldn't confirm each other's safety without doing so.

Ashna, on the other hand, sat on the cold and wet ground with her legs limp, and began to cry.

"It's still a child...... "Gordon put his hand on his forehead, feeling that the current situation is a bit troublesome. He is not the bosom brother of Quan Ferretton Lori, and it is really difficult to comfort this little girl who has suffered extreme fright.

After some consideration, he said, "Ashna, be obedient, let's leave together." I think you'd like to take a shower early and get into clean clothes. ”

Sure enough, for the little girl who loves cleanliness, this sentence worked. Yashna stopped crying, sobbed to her feet, and obediently walked over to Gordon. Antonov retrieved the dimensional bags that the three mages had been stolen, and then slipped out of the large hole in the wall that Gordon had blown up with the fireball technique earlier.

Gordon was actually tempted to search for the dead Rosengard brothers to see if they were carrying anything good. However, time was pressing, not only was a large number of undead creatures swarming in, but he didn't know when Zantaba would call reinforcements from the Three Holy Baptist Church, so he could only hurry up and leave.

Along the way, Gordon did not fight again, but Ruth, as if he wanted to pour out all the anger accumulated in the previous prison, mercilessly cast attack spells on the skeleton zombies that stood in the way of retreat.

Gordon didn't think it made sense, but he just shook his head and didn't say anything to dissuade him. If his beloved girl almost died at the hands of two bloodthirsty perverts, he himself was afraid that he would have to blast the entire Black Spider Fortress to relieve his anger.

A group of five people escaped from the Black Spider Fortress smoothly. Except for the undead creatures summoned by Zantaba's spells, there were no other obstacles along the way. This struck Gordon as odd. On the way here, both Gordon and Antonov saw that the number of Arcane Ooze monsters attacking the fortress was getting smaller and smaller, and after such a long time, the enemy was probably able to completely solve the trouble caused to them by the Blood Goddess. It stands to reason. At this time, the defense of the Three Holy Baptists should not be so overstretched that they can't even send a few teams of men to pursue them.

"Why do you think about it so much, it's enough to be able to get the three of them out and successfully escape to their own people." Antonov said.

Returning to Ferreton's front-line positions, Gordon shared his doubts with Antonov. But he was clearly looking for the wrong person. A two-handed sword warrior is clearly not the kind of person who likes to think and dig into problems.

"Maybe it's really me who is worrying too much?"

Gordon thought about it for a moment and decided to settle Ashna, who had been following her like a little tail, first. Let's deal with this again. Now in this condition, it is impossible to find someone to boil water to bathe Ashna, so Gordon found a priestess of the Temple of Dawn, paid her to cast a water-making magic, and then used a fire spell to heat the water himself.

Yashna didn't complain, and took off her dirty clothes. I walked into the makeshift bath.

"High ...... Mr. Gordon, can you not go too far? ”

Gordon, who was about to leave, heard Ashna's request and stopped: "Okay. ”

He knew that the little girl had just experienced what had just happened, and he was afraid that she was extremely insecure now, and hoped that someone could be by her side, so he agreed to this request.

Yashna completely immersed herself in the hot water, leaving only half of her small head. She looked at Gordon's back. A sense of peace welled up in my heart.

Gordon heard the sound of gurgling water in the pool, and it wasn't long before the sound of the fabric grinding against each other could be heard. However, he had been thinking about the anomaly in the Black Spider Fortress and the strange behavior of Zantaba, so he had a lot of kung fu to think about it.

"Mr. Gordon!"

Hearing Yashna call herself from behind, Gordon turned around, but she didn't expect Yashna to suddenly throw herself into her arms and hug her waist tightly.

"It smelled too bad just now. I didn't dare to come near you, but now I can finally do it. Yashna buried her head in Gordon's chest, "Thank you, Mr. Gordon. Thank you for saving me, saving Ruth and Jiaxi......"

Gordon touched Ashna's wet short. Although he looks like a tomboy on the outside, he has surrounded himself all the way before, and he only shows a character that is overflowing with curiosity. But now, this little girl has revealed a female side.

Especially when she thought of this little girl who escaped from the black spider fortress with herself just now, although she was scared to death, she followed behind her step by step. But he carefully kept his distance, probably worried about the bad smell on his body.

At this time, from the forward position surrounding the black fortress, four dazzling light bullets were shot, illuminating the dungeon within a radius of three kilometers as if it were day.

This is a signal to attack.

By the light of the magic flares, Gordon could see the situation on the walls of the Black Spider Fortress, even though it was far away.

All the Arcane ooze monsters have been cleared, but the walls are empty!

The suspicions that had already plagued Gordon's mind are now even stronger.

Could it be that the Pale Lord, led the minions of the Three Holy Baptist Church, and fled? But in the face of the heavy encirclement of the Ferredonians, and the fierce defense, where can they run? If that's the case, that's an acceptable outcome. Although they were not able to annihilate these cult minions, at least after so many twists and turns, the main goal was accomplished. The enemy's plot to activate the Orb of Sins circle has gone bankrupt, and the entire Northland will survive the winter in peace.

However, just as the primary goal of the Ferredon side was to prevent the Pearl of Sins from activating, the primary goal of the Three Holy Baptists was to do their best to activate the circle. Could it be that Zantaba gave up so lightly?

The highest echelons of the Three Holy Baptist Order, as well as those few Abyssal Demon Lords, would never allow such a failed act.

So, what should Zantaba do if he wants to continue activating the Orb of Sins circle? The Blood Grail in the Tower of Crystal has been taken by Lady Titus, and what method will he use to replenish the missing energy of the circle?

As if the heavens were going to give Gordon a hint, there was a sudden change in the black spider fortress.

A dark red pillar of light stabbed upwards like a blood-stained sword, reflecting the entire top of the underground cavern into a large cloud of evil red.

Gordon could even see that some of the ghosts that were constantly howling were wandering around the dark red pillar of light, and finally diving into it. Then, the pillar of light will become thicker.

What's even more terrifying is that the number of these ghosts is constantly increasing.

Gordon witnessed this sight, and a terrifying possibility flashed through his mind.

"Ashna, go find Ruth, stay with them, and protect yourself." Gordon pushed Ashna away, said a few words, and walked away quickly.

In front of the main gate of the breached fortress, he met the commander, Viscount Demont.

The soldier from the Platinum Templar Order was directing the troops to continue their assault inside. The enemies he faced were just a lot of undead creatures with equally low intelligence and combat effectiveness, and he hadn't even seen a cultist. So even though the war was going very well, he was not happy because of the strange situation. What's more, there is also that huge, ever-increasing pillar of dark red light, like a shadow, shrouded in my heart.

"Commander."

"Oh, Mr. Gordon, I was looking for you." Viscount Demont took off his helmet, "I just discussed with the other mages what it was for that pillar of light and why it appeared here, but I didn't come up with a clear result. Do you have any constructive comments? ”

Gordon took a deep breath and said, "I'm here for that pillar of light. I don't know what it's used for, but I've seen something like it before. Some cultists who worship evil gods or demons will use large-scale slaughter and sacrifice rituals to obtain huge amounts of arcane energy, summon or cast powerful spells, etc......"

Viscount Demont gasped. He looked at the troops that were constantly destroying a large number of undead creatures and steadily advancing, and suddenly thought of an extremely terrifying possibility.

Are the cultists who have disappeared as Gordon said......

Previously, according to the information provided by Gordon and Renus, Viscount Demont believed that the goal of the Three Holy Baptists to activate the magic circle had completely failed, so he adopted a steady and steady tactic, first surround the Black Spider Fortress, and then make full preparations before attacking.

Once they have absolute superiority, any qualified commander will abandon the risk and adopt the most secure way to achieve victory and minimize losses. Viscount Demon's choice is understandable.

But everyone, including Gordon, seems to have underestimated the madness and determination of the Pale Lord.

Renus was at the forefront, closest to the pillar of red light. Let's go! Viscount Demont didn't say anything more, put his helmet back on, and beckoned, "Follow me!" ”

The twelve most elite Templars followed Viscount Delmon and Gordon into the Black Spider Fortress as fast as they could.

Although the mana has been exhausted, and all the magic scrolls in the dimensional bag have been used up, Gordon's physical condition is still very good, and the blood mage's spells have not been used up, so he still has the ability to fight. However, in the process of forcibly breaking into the Black Spider Fortress, he did not make a move, and the enemies that he occasionally could not avoid were also handed over to those knights to deal with.

When he saw Renus again, Gordon was just a stone's throw away from the blood-red pillar of light, just across an inner city gate. He could feel that the arcane energy in the air was getting stronger and stronger.
