Chapter 111: A Symptom of Disaster

When Hu Bin hurried to the city of Veruga, he was told that King Griffos had been on the expedition for more than half a month, and Hu Bin remembered that as early as when he followed the army of Salander to attack the city of Halma, the kingdom of Rhodok had already started a war with the kingdom of Swadia.

Although the Nord kingdom was powerless after taking the city of Drehem, they never gave up their snooping on the Swadia kingdom, especially the large city of Suno. The remaining forces of the Swadia kingdom were placed near Sunno by King Harauth, and he constantly sent cavalry to harass the supply caravans of the city of Drehem.

The Rhodok Kingdom seized this opportunity and took the opportunity to send troops to besiege the southern city of Uxhall in the Kingdom of Swadia. Perhaps in terms of numbers, the more than 2,000 troops of the Rhodok Kingdom were not enough to capture this city with 500 garrisons, and Rhodok, who had just recovered some vitality, was not suitable for a tough battle that was doomed to heavy losses, so King Greyfus resorted to the most insidious move, that is, to besiege the city, consume the food and grass of the defenders, and force them to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with him.

With the food reserves of the big cities, the grain of Uskehor can last for a month, and this war of patience is destined to be protracted. Whether it was the Swadia Kingdom side that couldn't help but send reinforcements and fight head-on with the Rhodok Kingdom, or the Rhodok Kingdom's side couldn't hold on to retreating on its own initiative, no one could say.

However, the two countries could endure the loneliness, but Hu Bin could not wait, Howard and Fanta participated in this expedition, and Hu Bin could not find anyone to discuss the missionary issue. As a last resort, Hu Bin had no choice but to rush to the Rhodok siege camp near Uskerkauer.

"Ah, isn't this Lord Reed, what wind has blown you, aren't you near the city of Halma?" King Griffos was in a good mood, and it seemed that he was sure that the Swadia Kingdom would not dare to send troops to reinforce here.

"Dear King Griffos, I have come to discuss with you the matter of the Cult of Deities, and I ask for your consent to preach in the territory of Rhodock." There was a hint of urgency in Hu Bin's tone.

"So Lord Reed, what happened to make you come to me in such a hurry to discuss this matter? You must know that I was able to send troops after finally withstanding domestic pressure, and now is not the time to aggravate the situation in China. Maybe when we take the city of Uxhall, I'll consider bringing in the Cult of Nature. King Griffos frowned, the Lord Reed he knew was not such an impulsive person.

"There is no time, King Griffos, please forgive my unreasonable request, but I really have a reason why I can't say it, please consider my opinion, after all, it is not bad for the Rhodoc Kingdom." Hu Bin was very helpless, he had a bad premonition recently, the goddess's warning really made him find a way to prevent it, but it was not as smooth as he imagined.

Perhaps it was a matter of favorability, and King Graves rejected Hu Bin's request.

"I'm sorry, Lord Reed, I can't accede to your request, I won't change my mind without a sufficiently convincing reason, Rhodok's internal affairs are not within the jurisdiction of the Alliance." The spatial hint is that King Griffos' friendship with Hu Bin has dropped by 3 points, and Hu Bin has completely lost the possibility of convincing him.

In desperation, Hu Bin returned to the mercenary city, where the church reported the failure of the mission to the goddess.

"What a foolishness, when does the propagation of my faith require the consent of that ant?" This is the goddess's reply, which woke up Hu Bin with a word.

Perhaps the Cult of Deity grew rapidly with the support of the Salander government, but this does not mean that without the support of the government, the Cult of Divism would not be able to preach, and Hu Bin was limited by his own habitual thinking.

Urgently dispatched all the sacrificial apprentices who could be mobilized, and Hu Bin was ready to let them perform magic in various parts of Rhodok to spread the faith of the goddess in the fastest way. If there is no church in the village, then pray in the small square of the village, and there is no temple in the city, so learn from the bard to sing in the bar.

Fortunately, most of the sacrificial apprentices were born commoners, and their belief in the goddess was firm enough, so that Hu Bin's plan did not die because these girls could not endure hardship, and they scattered all over Rhodok, setting off a revolution of faith in the kingdom. The seeds have been planted, and as for what will happen in the future, Hu Bin can only ask the goddess for blessing.

When May came, the defenders of Uxhall finally ran out of ammunition and food, and were forced to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Rhodok besieged army, and finally all of them were killed under the walls. After a month-long marathon siege, the kingdom of Rhodok has finally gnawed the hard bone of Uxhall City. At this point, the Swadia Kingdom lost half of its territory and was suppressed in the eastern part of the continent, although it still maintained a certain military strength, but everyone knew that they had fallen into decay.

Because of Howard's excellent performance in the decisive battle, King Graves gave him Fort Wincord near the city, and Fanta also obtained a village as a fief, and the two finally became the rightful fief lords. But Hu Bin didn't have the heart to celebrate Viruga in person, and his relationship with King Griffos completely dropped to a freezing point.

When King Griffos found out that he had returned victorious, some people said that the victory was the result of the blessing of the goddess of nature. Although with King Graves' mind, he would not be as knowledgeable as a bunch of fools, but it was reasonable to have a grudge. As a result, his friendship with Lord Reed plummeted again and again, and when they finally met again, they were like passers-by.

In this regard, Reed almost angrily summoned the sacrificial apprentices scattered all over Rhodoc, but due to the attitude of the goddess, Hu Bin still swallowed this breath, but he decided not to fund the establishment of a church in the Rhodoc Kingdom, and raised the money entirely by the donations of believers.

As the clock ticks, June is just around the corner. The outer walls of the city of Muradin have been completed, and after a period of recuperation, Hu Bin has finally reorganized a 70-strong army of heroic knights, and the number of other troops has also increased, after all, a new fortress has been added to the territory, and he has to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the city of Harma. Hu Bin is looking forward to the arrival of June, and he can't wait to join the fierce battle again.

It's been two years since I came to this world, and many numberers are looking forward to this June, because there are so many opportunities in June, not only the opening of the third mystery shop, but also the possibility of wars between countries during this time, and even commerce and trade are much more prosperous than usual. Bandits from all walks of life began to be active, robbery of robbery, kidnapping of kidnapping, and even the task of carrying caravan guards increased, and it has to be said that June was the favorite month of the numberers.

Flender also thinks the same, as an ordinary numberer in the Nord Kingdom camp, his purpose is very simple, is to save a sum of money to survive this mission world. He prefers to hunt pirates along the coastline of the northwestern part of the continent compared to his companions who like to gang up and fight, and compared to his fellow robbers, pirates are much more wealthy, and they are also sought-after goods in the hands of slave traders.

It is said that on the island not far from the coast lies the pirate city of pirates, where the treasure looted by pirates over the years is buried, but unfortunately no numberer believes this rumor, and most importantly, no numberer is willing to spend a lot of money to buy a ship to go to sea to verify this rumor.

But Flender sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and that the pirates who should have been active had recently begun to die down.

Flender, who was sure that there were no peers nearby to rob his business, was puzzled, where did those pirates who had killed so much go?

Finally he meets a small group of pirates, and Flender plans to follow them to their lair to see what is going on. In a small hidden strait, Flender spotted the pirates' ship, but by this time the pirates were preparing to leave the mainland.

Flender raised his right hand in motion, and the soldiers who followed him began to check their equipment, and then he waved his hand and took the lead in lunging at the pirates.

"Remember to keep a few alive, I have something to ask them." Flender instructed his men.

The pirates reacted quickly and immediately organized their defenses amid shouting. But under the command of the experienced Flender, the Nord warriors dealt the pirates a heavy blow with a round of throwing axes. Only then did I remember that the pirates who raised their shields were quickly approached, and after a period of fighting, the pirates on the shallows were all annihilated. Just as Flender was about to attack the pirate ship to pick up the remaining pirates, the pirates jumped off the ship, ignoring the executioners led by Flender, shouting something and desperately running inland.

"Damn, what's that?" Flender watched as the pirate ship was rolled up by a giant tentacle and then crushed into a pile of pieces. Shadows under the shallow surface of the sea quickly approached the shallows, and finally leaped out of the sea and landed on the beach, screaming and rushing to land.

“WTF!” Flender's mind was a little spinning, and before he could tell what these monsters were, he and his men were swallowed up by the raging tide of monsters.

Flender encountered only a small part, and he did not know that the entire coastline of the Nord kingdom was on the shallows suitable for landing, and on the same day it was invaded by monsters, and as the number of monsters increased dramatically, they began to march inland.
