Old Francis waited until three o'clock in the afternoon, and did not wait for His Excellency Marin, but waited for the members of the emergency team.

With their explanations, Francis Sr. figured out what was happening in the town—chaos, depravity, and his apprentice Robben ultimately failed to escape the end of the aberration.

Once again, fate snatched old Francis from his most beloved son.

Old Francis was in pain, but what hurt even more was that Lord Marlin was left there with his mechanical body, could he defeat Robben, purify it, and come back alive?

Old Francis didn't know, he hurriedly contacted Todd Spencer, who couldn't do anything - he was not good at opening teleportation channels, so the two found Lagerlof Dendell, and when the mage heard this, he hurriedly prepared to open the coordinates to the mage tower owned by a low-ranking mage near the town, but the teleportation failed.

Lagerloaf and Todd combined to find that it was supposed to be a spatial interference—in other words, something was wrong with the town to the south.

Lagerloft immediately reported the situation to the Mage's Tower, and old Francis returned to the church and consulted the commander of the emergency team again, but the young man could not say a single reason, and in the end, old Francis could only hope that Lord Marin would leave the terrible land.

But the bad news came one after another, several villages and towns in the southern region were attacked, and the battlemages who ventured out in the blizzard weather confirmed that at least six human settlements had been set on fire, all of which were close to the area of the incident.

This already confirms the presence of the Chaos Gang - otherwise none of these settlements could have been attacked at the same time.

The Mage Tower has begun to mobilize, and the Mage Messengers have begun to travel to the countries further south, and according to the Covenant, when the Chaos Warbands appear, all civilized nations should lend a helping hand. The messengers sent by the royal family will travel to the eastern and western provinces, and they will gather armies - a Chaos invasion is not a good thing, and the royal family must gather an army immediately to prevent the Chaos Warbands from raiding the capital.

After a while, a messenger from the Carter Fort area arrived in Copenhagen: "Is there a problem with Lord Marin!?" ”

The person who came was Bishop Colin, the deputy of Fort Carter, and even more so a devout member of the church, and in the face of this young man, old Francis told everything he knew.

“…… I'm sure my junior brother should be fine. The young man seemed to believe in his brother very much, which made old Francis feel better, but he was still afraid, afraid that such a young legend would fall, and if such a consequence was caused by his words, old Francis felt that he would not be able to wash away his sins even if he died.

"I'm going to ask, there are two highnesses who are still waiting for my news, I can only make it up now, if Marin comes back, remember to let the messenger report my safety." He said this as Colin walked.

Old Francis finally asked why: "Shouldn't Lord Marlin be told to leave this area immediately?" ”

"My junior brother is most unaccustomed to this kind of injustice, he should stay with you until the Chaos Gang is driven away." With that, Bishop Colin turned and walked into the teleportation hallway.

Old Francis, who had stayed behind, was a little puzzled, but finally sighed at the young man's trust in Marin.

Yes, how much of His Excellency Marlin's battle record is the result of fighting against Chaos, and he will certainly be like what Bishop Colin said.

With this in mind, old Francis continued to wait.

After another half an hour, a group of battle mage scouts who had just returned brought back a message that they had found at least three teams that had escaped from the town, and the armon knight troops immediately began to prepare to load supplies, but the battle mage scout team said that only two batches of supplies were needed, because there was still a team in which they confirmed Marin Gayat, who was riding a legendary boar spirit called His Majesty, and was leading this team towards Copenhagen, and according to their calculations, it would be possible to arrive at seven o'clock at the latest, They are the least needy of supplies, and it seems that Lord Marlin has enough supplies to sustain them.

Old Francis's first feeling when he heard the news was to thank the Mother Goddess, and the second feeling was how big Lord Marin's space bag really was.

…… Forget it, as long as the person is fine, how big the space bag is, old Francis feels that it is not his turn to take care of this matter.

When Goethe hurried back to his palace, the messenger from the Northern Kingdom had been waiting for a while, and when the young messenger saw him, he immediately saluted: "Your Majesty Goethe, I am very happy to see you well, but here I have bad news to convey to you, today there is a Chaos Gang in the south of Copenhagen. ”

"I know, as part of the Covenant, we Sidney will give your country weapons and all kinds of logistical supplies." As a member of Sidney, who is still fighting against Chaos, it is not easy to give such support.

The messenger also stroked his chest with great satisfaction, and as he was about to leave, Goethe asked, out of curiosity: "Marin Gaiat, where is my son-in-law?" ”

"I don't know about this, maybe you need to ask His Excellency Old Francis in Copenhagen at the Church of the Goddess of the Harvest." The young messenger replied.

Goethe nodded, and motioned for his old butler to give the young man a ride.

When the young messenger left, Sidney's majesty turned his head to look at the side hall, where his wife Anna was standing: "My son-in-law is fine with everything, and his ability to go wherever and what happens is really increasing, I am too embarrassed to ask the messenger where he will be when the accident happens." ”

Goethe smiled a little forcefully, while his wife shook her head with a smile: "The child in our eyes has grown up, and he will be fine." ”

"Are you so confident, Anna?" Goethe asked, curious.

"Yes, I've always had faith in this kid." After Anna finished speaking, she turned to leave: "I'll go take a shower first, if it weren't for the messenger coming this time, I should still be exploring the dark zone with Liana." ”

"Can you not go to such a dangerous place, dear?" The exhortation from her lover made Anna pause, and she turned to look at him, "Trust me, dear. ”

It's like I believe in the big plan laid out by the guru, and each of us is a part of the big plan, a screw that can be replaced...... Even your blood and bones are no exception.

No wonder, she's leaving you...... She has a right to resent you, for putting you and her children on the deadly scales.

Walking through the door of the side hall, where the guards pushed open for their queen, Anna entered the drawing-room, glancing at the portrait on the wall of three young maidens standing together.

My sisters, if there are no accidents, our descendants will live in a world free of chaos...... I will do all this as best I can, and I am willing to sacrifice everything I have for the sake of this day...... May the light of civilization live forever.

………………

My wife seems to be hiding what I'm doing.

Goethe asked himself in his heart, and he sat in his place until the sound of his wife's footsteps finally disappeared into the depths of the corridor of the side hall, and the king sighed at the sound of the door being shut.

Why did she aim at her husband?

Goethe pondered in silence, and at last he stood up and walked to the side hall on the other side, where his guards had opened the door for their king to go to the square.

In the corridor, Goethe stood in front of a painting.

It was a painting of his children, who were still young and had good wishes for each other's future.

Goethe sighed and finally walked to the end of the corridor.

As a young man, he and his companions had sworn to put an end to the invasion of Chaos in their generation.

But they failed the children, they failed to put an end to this, and the invasion of chaos was approaching.

Along the way, he looked at the generations of ancestors on the wall, and eventually, he stopped in front of the portrait of his father.

"Father, as you told me, I have also let my children down, we have not been able to put an end to the invasion of Chaos, time and time again, the invasion of Chaos will always come unexpectedly, when will all this be the end, can we defeat Chaos and drive them out of our world completely." Looking at the portrait of his father, His Majesty of the Kingdom caressed the father in the portrait, and finally, he stepped forward, his fingers following his movements, scratching the wall until he came to his own place.

"My kids, maybe one day come here and ask me...... Sorry, my child. He sighed, and finally took another step.

I'm sorry, children, your father...... What a useless guy.

As night fell and the blizzard grew heavier, Marin had to let Eleven walk in the front with torches in the face of the Holy Flame, while he and Mayor Suder were at the back, occasionally hanging the townsfolk who were no longer at all motionless from the chairs on either side of Two's body.

The big basket was already full of children, and the weight was too much for Number Two to bear, but fortunately, Marlin's technique strengthened it and prevented it from at least falling.

"I think we're almost there."

"Cousin, you're here again."

Mayor Suder had to say this more than once, and then every time he was mercilessly teased by his cousin Rhodes.

But this time, as the young man, who had been walking with great difficulty, was so cheering for himself, Marin heard cheers from ahead.

Then, the news came back from the front - the people in the front saw the city not far away.

At this moment, no matter how tired the people were, they were full of strength, and when the group came to the city gate, Marin stood at the front with a torch, and just as he was brewing a speech, he heard the voice of old Francis coming from the city wall.

"It's Lord Marin! Open the gates! ”

As the walls opened, Marin organized the townsfolk to slowly pass through the gates and enter a special checkpoint, where everyone would be quarantined, and after completing the inspection and test against Chaos, the passers would have to live here for at least a week before they could actually enter the city.

Although the conditions were very harsh, everyone accepted it, and Marin also thought deeply of it - those who did not accept it had already been killed by the Chaos War Gang.

Nature's choices are cruel these days.

"Your Excellency Marin, welcome back, it's great to see you." Old Francis ran over and shook Marin's hand.

"Sir Francis, you have to live in quarantine for a week."

"That's better than doing nothing, I'm proficient in healing techniques, I can help the townspeople heal, and besides, with me on the scene, I can help you deal with emergencies." The old bishop said, looking at the townspeople, "I can imagine that it would be a miracle that half of these people would have made it here alive without you. ”

"But it's a fact that they're all here, Lord Francis, and we did it, didn't we." Marin said, glancing around, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend your meeting tonight." ”

"It's all right, the truth is that our meeting is also going on, the two young men of the Svensson family have returned to their posts, and so are several of us, maybe we won't have a chance until this invasion is over, it's going to be a long time, you should go back to Fort Carter."

"Why, I should stay." Faced with old Francis's persuasion, Marin smiled and shook his head: "I should stay and face the invasion with you." ”
