"Help, help, anyone who receives this news must come to the rescue of the city of Riewendale, we have an unspeakable wave of corpses here, the dead are resurrected as undead monsters, my people are being slaughtered, for the sake of the gods, please come and save us! ”

Stannis read the general contents of the letter, and no one sitting in front of him made a sound, except for Charlie, everyone else had experienced the tragedy of the last 'Gomorrah', the whole city was turned into a slaughterhouse of the sickle monsters, the living were devoured by the dead, and resurrected again as monsters devoured their relatives, they thought that the terrible scene would never happen, but now there is no doubt that the same tragedy is repeated on this land.

"Boss, you're going to do this?" said Robert, who had broken the silence.

Stannis didn't know what to do, Rivendale was the largest city in the Duchy, and there were 5-100,000 people living in it, and if it was really as the letter said, the entire city had been overrun by a wave of corpses, which meant that they would have to face the same number of Scythe Monsters, which was more than the entire Duchy combined!

"As the most prosperous city in the Duchy of Tanis, how can there be a divine seal there?Could it be that someone with ulterior motives secretly transported the divine seal to the city?" Stannis suspected that there was some terrible conspiracy behind this sudden incident, and decided that it was better not to go on this trip to the troubled waters.

"Your Excellency, but there are tens of thousands of people waiting to be rescued!" Cortana's heart overflowed.

Sure enough, Stannis's conscience as a human being really made it impossible for him to die without saving, knowing that there were at least 50,000 lives there!

"By the way, did Sir Iago, who is still in the south, receive her letter?"

Cortana shook her head firmly, "Probably not, these ravens are all released without a goal, and they shouldn't be able to fly that far." ”

"Damn!" Stannis slammed his hand on the table, since Igo hadn't received the letter yet, he didn't know that his city was being slaughtered and would continue to attack him!

But it was only a moment of hesitation, and the surprisingly calm Stannis had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Cortana, send a letter to Sir Iago about what is going on here, and send this distress letter with you, and I am sure he will not be chasing us when he sees it. ”

Robert's eyes widened in confusion when he heard this, "What do you mean?"

"Give up Drehem, everyone go back to Zivinie!" Stannis finally made up his mind to surrender the central city that he had taken at great cost.

"Boss, you're crazy! what are we attacking her for, so why did we attack her, Boss, you are crazy!

Stannis took out his domineering spirit as a king and ordered forcefully: "My mind has been decided, don't say any more, remember to take everything with you when you leave this city, and don't leave a piece of bread or a grain of salt for the enemy!"

Randall wanted to say something more to object, but Hillier also spoke, "You have all heard, just do what Your Majesty wants." ”

Stannis knew that it was against his original intention to not promote democracy, but now was the time for him to use an iron fist instead of letting time pass in endless arguments.

"Hillier, after you take the people to withdraw to the territory safely, come to join me in an airship, remember to choose the most elite warriors and bring them with you, and bring Anya to me as well. ”

"Boss, what do you mean?" Although the answer was already known, Robert didn't expect this guy to be really stupid to die.

Stannis had already stood up and inserted his sword into the scabbard, "Everyone who is with me will come with me to rescue Rwendale!"

Three days later, in order to snatch the credit, Garcia's Sir Rudol led a force of 2,000 men into the undefended city of Drechem, but it was already empty, although the Duke claimed that they had won a great victory and dealt a heavy blow to the rebels, but in fact they found that they had captured only an empty city, and the ordnance and food in the warehouse had been emptied, except for the two bags of potatoes placed at the gate of the city, which later historians derivefully called the 'Potato Gate Victory'.

And when Garcia's army was busy robbing the citizens to vent his anger, Stannis had already led his elite squad north along the river, although there were only a dozen of his cronies and more than 30 knights who came voluntarily, but Stannis was still confident that he could save some people as much as possible, plus Hillier would also come back to support after bringing people back, Stannis was even more confident.

But the situation was often much worse than he had anticipated, and on the way to Levundale, Stannis had been encountering a large number of displaced peasants, all of whom had fled with their families when they heard of the terrible plague that had broken out in the city.

And after asking all the way, no one can tell what is really happening in the city, as if no survivors have escaped.

"Could it be that 50,000 people there have become that terrible monster!"

Robert had already begun to shiver, and it had only taken three days from the time of the outbreak to their arrival, and the largest city in the north-central part of Tanis had been overwhelmed by the tide of corpses, which was not terrifying.

"Don't talk about those useless ones! we'll find out when we get to the city. Stannis still didn't back down, he was convinced that there must be people alive there.

In the afternoon they finally came to the territory of Rievendale, but instead of going directly into the city, they camped on a distant hillside and looked out. The once bustling city has become dead silent, with no pedestrians on the bustling roads, no one guarding the city gates, and no one guarding the city walls, as if all the people in the city had disappeared.

"That's not a good sign. "Stannis decided to send someone in to scout first, and Robert was the obvious choice.

But as soon as Robert heard his thoughts, he jumped up angrily, "No, boss, you still let me go even though I know it's an act of sending me to death!" It's full of that kind of monster, it's good that I'll be swallowed alive as soon as I go in, I won't go, whoever likes to go!"

Just as Stennis was about to threaten with force, he found a knight with scars all over his body rushing towards him, judging by the family crest on his body, it was undoubtedly from the Igo family.
