A knight dressed as an eagle was speeding towards the area, and Stannis put his hand on the hilt of his sword with some alertness, as the armor of the comer was covered with dents, and it looked like he had just experienced a bloody battle.

As his loyal chief of guard, Charlie stepped forward and raised his hand to signal the other party to stop at a warning distance, "Stop, report the name of the person who comes!"

The knight tightened the reins and stopped his horse, then lifted his visor to reveal a bloodstained young face, "I am Sir Igo's knight, Miriam Hawke from Danron!"

Stannis breathed a sigh of relief, he thought it was a monster underneath the armor, and he nodded at Charlie, signaling that the knight could be released.

After the knight dismounted, the people noticed that his sword was full of gaps in his crotch, and they saw that he had come here after a fierce battle.

"Are you a rescuer who has come to our rescue?" said the young knight, who called himself Mirian, anxiously.

"Yes, I received a distress letter from Mrs. Igo. ”

The knight was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized who Stannis's "Lady Igo" was.

"Sir Igo's wife had died of illness the previous year, and it was his daughter, Miss Zoe, who wrote this letter for help. The knight corrected him earnestly.

Stanis knew that he had recognized the wrong person, so he quickly diverted the topic seriously, "You came out of the city, and there was a wave of corpses there, what is the specific situation now?"

His words sent a look of fear on the knight's face, and Stannis recognized the expression, the deepest fear in his own heart, and the one that everyone else had when they first saw that kind of monster.

"The situation is so bad, no one knows how that nightmare happened, we all gathered in the town square for a celebration to celebrate the triumphant return of Duke Igo again, but suddenly there was a scream, and from the center of the square poured out a large area of the monster that was turned from the dead, and then the entire central square area quickly fell, followed by the commercial district, the noble district and the dock district, only the lower town was still struggling to support, but now all the gates have been crowded by the monsters, I rushed out to need support while they were not yet completed。 ”

"Well, there are still living people in this city. ”

Milian nodded affirmatively, "At the moment when the corpse tide first broke out, Miss Igo immediately organized the city guards to protect the civilians to the most closed lower city, thanks to the gods, the chaotic paths there slowed down the progress of those monsters, about half of them successfully escaped there, plus the surviving guards, there can barely defend itself, but the other districts have fallen, and soon those monsters will gather together to launch a general attack on the lower city." ”

Sure enough, there were people behind the scenes who were controlling the Chaos People, otherwise with their brains that had already given up their intelligence, it would be impossible to think of seizing the city gate to prevent anyone from escaping in the first place.

"Then without further ado, we are the ones who received the letter and came to the rescue. "Stannis didn't give his name, because he was still at war, and if the knight knew that his enemies were coming to the rescue, he would have drawn his sword with them on the spot.

But the knight hesitated and glanced behind Stannis, "That's it?"

He was right, Stannis brought too few people this time, and it was not enough to even plug his teeth in the face of more than 20,000 Chaos people.

But Stannis still comforted him, "Don't worry, the big army is on its way." ”

Milian seemed to believe him, and now he could only hope that outside reinforcements would save the city.

"And who is the person in charge of the defense now? Is it Miss Iago who sent the distress letter?"

His words filled Knight Milian's face with sadness, "After Miss Zoe sent someone to protect the civilians and evacuated, she was taken captive by the monsters into the castle, and no one knows if she is still alive. ”

When he said this, Stannis felt very bad, and he glanced at Robert, who knew what he meant, was the noble daughter also captured by the human body of the divine seal?

"Did these letters come out before she was taken away or after she was captured?" Stannis asked again, uneasy.

Miriam also looked puzzled, "Even after the capture, I and the other knights were also confused, because we saw with our own eyes that the maesters who raised ravens were torn to pieces by monsters, and Miss Zoe wouldn't let the ravens out." ”

Stannis left the knight behind and summoned a few of his core men for a brief meeting, and they agreed that there was no doubt that Lady Igo had been captured by the monster to awaken the heart of darkness, and that the letters must have been written by the hand of the woman who had been controlled in order to lure the reckless surrounding lords to come to their aid, and that they had the misfortune to become the first bait to be baited.

"Your Majesty, it's too late for us to withdraw. Charlie said respectfully.

But Stannis was determined, he knew how terrible the Divine Seal was, and if he left it alone, it was only a matter of time before an army of the dead who would destroy the world was formed.

"Needless to say, even hell is a hell where we can only fight hard, and there are still 30,000 people waiting for us to rescue. ”

Robbette nodded, this was the Stannis he knew, and he wouldn't follow someone who had escaped.

"But how are we going to get in?, and if the gate is already under the control of the monsters, as the man who escaped from inside said, are we going to force our way in?" Korodov was belligerent, but not stupid.

This also stumped Stannis, who turned back to the knight and asked, "Knight Hawke, is there any other way to sneak into the city secretly than the gate? ”

Milian pondered for a moment, "I know of a secret passage for smuggling, but in the port area, we can find a few ships upstream to sneak into the harbor through the fog." ”

"That's it!" Stannis had experienced a surprise attack from the water, but this was the only way to get into the city right now.

Afterwards, Stannis left a few knights to meet Hillier's arrival, and then galloped with Milian upstream along the river, until at last they found a few fishing boats in a small village where all the people had escaped, and then they all lay down on them, and followed Mirian's instructions to the fallen city of Rwendale.

At this time, a heavy fog rose from the sky, swallowing them completely.
