Davide looked at the tower in front of him, then at the fork in the road around him, and then turned to the other lieutenant captains behind him and said:

"Doyle, let's separate here, you take someone to the portal, and I'll take someone to the Raven Tower."

"Good!"

As he spoke, the thirteen deputy flag captains who participated in the blessing ceremony were divided into two teams under the leadership of Doyle and Davide, the two strongest men, and ran towards the Faith Raven Tower, which was located on the west side of the Blood Castle, which was dedicated to raising letter crows, and the small portal fortress located underground on the east side.

On the west side of the Blood Fortress there are two towers, one large and one small, and the tall one is a fortress-type tower dedicated to raising flying animals.

Usually there are flying units from the Seven Kingdoms, usually griffons, but sometimes dragon eagles and wurms will also appear.

Flocks of griffons could often be seen flying in the sky above the Blood Citadel as the bloody battle in Echo Canyon continued, but not long after the defeat of the Psychic Tower, the Black Rock Kingdom withdrew its valuable flying troops, and the other kingdoms soon followed suit, by which time the tower had been abandoned for months.

After passing through the tower, Davide and their target - the Raven Tower.

In normal times, people would stuff some good letters into the mailbox, seal them with wax, and stamp them with the family crest of their coat of arms, and then tie them to the crow's legs and let them fly.

But the strongest Raven in the Bloodkeep Fortress would never perform such a mission.

Every morning, the keepers replace the strongest crows with new letterboxes, which are filled with sealed letters for help.

In other words, when the Blood Castle encounters a special situation, there is no need to write a letter at all, just open the cage of these letter crows.

That's exactly what Davide and they're going to do at this point.

Although there is a team dedicated to transmitting information in the Raven Tower, the Legion Commander must personally issue an order to send a letter for help of this magnitude, or in exceptional circumstances, two Flag Captains or four Deputy Flag Captains must jointly issue a joint signed order.

"Don't let anything happen!"

Davide muttered silently in his heart, and then he saw the bloodstain in front of the tower.

"Hell!"

Realizing that something might have happened to the Raven Tower, Davide gathered his vigour, kicked the heavy tower door, and rushed in with the short spear he had snatched from the renegade guards on the way.

After leaving the scene of the blessing ceremony, Davide and the others rushed here as soon as possible, and they didn't have time to go back to get the weapons in their rooms, but they just took some captured equipment.

Going up the spiral staircase, Davide and the others could see fallen corpses on the stairs from time to time, some from the Blood Keep Legion, and some of the priests brought by Bishop Coriwende, but although the clothes were indeed those priests, for some reason, the corpses turned into mummified-like dried corpses.

When they reached the top of the tower, they faintly heard the clashing of weapons above.

"Great! It's still too late! ”

Davide quickened his pace with joy, and finally arrived at the battlefield at the last moment when Coriwende's priests broke through the Raven's defenses.

Coriwende's priest had already knocked out the last of the Raven Guards, and was about to give him the final stab on his chest.

Without hesitation, Davide threw his short spear and nailed the priest to the wall. I saw that the priest twitched twice and then disappeared, and his body quickly aged and turned into a mummy-like appearance.

Vaguely as if he had heard of something like this somewhere, the priest's companion didn't give Davide time to think, and turned to lunge at them.

"Die!"

Davide burst into a roar, and with the furious fighting spirit of his punches, he overturned all the enemies and fell off the guardrail, screaming and falling to the bottom of the tower without a sound.

Coming to the side of the Crow Guard, Davide checked it, although the broken arm also had some excessive blood loss, but everything else was fine, as long as he found the priest for treatment, he could recover quickly.

"You ...... Are you here to release the crows? The guard coughed twice and asked weakly, "Yes...... The Legion Commander's orders? If not...... I can't let you pass! ”

Davide shook his head: "The corps commander is fighting, and there is no time to write official orders. But we, as deputy flag captains, can sign orders. ”

The guard nodded, took a string of keys inlaid with magic crystals from his neck, and said, "Go up, use it to close the magic barrier above and release all the letter crows in room three." ”

Davide took the key and turned to hand it to Gonse, who was beside him.

"Do you hear that, go do it!"

"Yes, I'll go over it."

As he spoke, Gonser stabbed the sword in his hand into Davide's chest, and behind him, another flag captain was also cut by his companion from behind, and blood was gurgling outward.

"For ...... Why!? ”

Davide grabbed the blade of Gangse's sword, and looked at this former partner who had been a colleague with him for two years with an incredulous expression, completely unable to believe that he had killed him!

"Gonse! You've betrayed humanity! ”

Gonse looked unbearable and sighed, "No, Davide, my old friend, I am saving humanity!" I'm sorry, redemption is not without a price, sacrifice is inevitable, my old friend, your sacrifice is worthwhile, the glory of the Blood Keep will be restored, rest in peace. ”

With that, Gonse sent the sword away, ending Davide's life, and the blade that came out of his body also pierced into the chest of the Crow Guard.

Leaving the bodies of Davide and the guards, Gondher and another lieutenant flag captain opened the magical defense barrier, found flint and torches in the keeper's lounge, and set the crow on fire.

…………………………

On the small portal, which was firmly protected by a strong fortress, the magic circle was stained red with flowing blood, and corpses were strewn everywhere.

As the last two guards standing beside him to protect him were shot through the throat with a bow and arrow, Doyle, who was badly wounded, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and was shot by an arrow and broke his arm, falling heavily to the ground.

Coughing up two mouthfuls of blood, Doyle looked angrily at his former companions, who were also the vice-captains, and the guards who were supposed to guard the portal.

"What exactly do you want to do!? Don't you know the importance of the Blood Keep Fortress!? We've fought side by side, but why!? ”

Dulles shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, casually freezing Doyle into an ice sculpture.

"Alright, let's get to work. The portal is still useful, and the blood stains must be wiped off quickly, otherwise it won't work. ”
