Chapter 311: Discovery
"Captain Ryan, this path in the forest has not been damaged all along, and after being run over by people and wagons, there is no grass growing at all, just enough for us to detect it by a simple method. ”
A member of the Guards scout was reporting to Ryan, who was resting for three days, and had been in the forest for three days to explore a trail that could cross the mountains.
"Keep going along this abandoned road, and send people on both sides of the road to observe and pay attention to safety. Ryan didn't talk too much nonsense, and there was no need to repeat these tasks that had already been arranged many times.
So far, the scout team has not found any signs of demons, let alone beasts with abyssal aura, and even ordinary beasts rarely appear, and the entire forest is terrifyingly quiet except for plants and plants.
"Let's go, keep going, and keep an eye out for the marks of the Druids, the Queen of the Forest, who are our comrades and will help us explore the forest. ”
The scout team continued to move forward, although the quiet forest was frightening, but it also reduced a lot of trouble, at least the scout's hearing could be enhanced a lot, and the slightest sound would be detected by them, and the speed of progress was also accelerated.
Nat not only sent out the scout team sent by Adès to support, but also added an advance team composed of rangers and druids, with three rangers and two druids walking in front of the scouts.
Their mission is not to find out if there are demons, but to reach the abandoned outpost on the mountain range, where Nat is afraid that the outpost will be overrun by demons, and that it will be a big problem.
In Black Iron Harbor, Molly and Anna are dealing with the affairs of their territory. Adès went to the smelting factory to inspect and speed up the manufacture of weapons and armor. Produce as much equipment as possible.
"Anna, it seems that the temple wants us to organize a squad of mid-level professionals. Participating in the defense of the royal capital, the teacher has already sent a message, and the temple has begun to discuss this matter. ”
Anna held her cheeks in distress, unconsciously flipped through the parchment on the table in her hand, and after a while she said: "You can't go, if it's a small team, it's easy to be thrown out as cannon fodder, what if you arrange a mission to go deep into the enemy line?
Molly nodded, she also knew that it was more dangerous to form a squad than to form an army. But what do you do now? The temple won't allow you not to go, and they can't find an excuse not to go.
You must know that it is not the king's demon extermination order now, it is the temple that endorses this order, and Molly dares to do it if he disobeys the king's order, but what about the temple's order?
"Madame, Miss. The butler hurried over, stood outside the study and said hello, apparently with something to report.
"Come in. Anna said weakly.
"Madam, Miss, the scout team just sent a message to report. Outposts on the mountains have been discovered. ”
Anna hurriedly asked, "Did you find any demons?"
"I didn't find it, but according to the report, there were creatures walking on the trail there recently. It's just that no one is sure if it's a demon or not, and even the rangers and druids who are good at discerning forest creatures can't tell exactly what it is. ”
Molly asked with some concern, "Is that sure something has indeed entered the northern part of our territory?
"Estimates are so, but it is not clear. It's impossible to know exactly what's coming in, nothing is clear. The butler bowed his head and answered Molly's question.
"Let's talk about it when Adès comes back later. There has to be a way to deal with it. Anna said weakly.
In Ambo, the new deacon of the Storm Lord's Temple is discussing with his subordinates about the young men. He was also anxious, the suburbs of Ambo were basically in a panic now, and those were all believers who belonged to the goddess of the sea, not the Lord of the Storm, even if they were afraid, they would not come to the temple to pray to Tajns, and those young people did this, which would only make the situation more chaotic and confrontational.
"What happened to the temple over there?"
"Deacon, there is a strong demand for the disposal of our young seeds, and for the damage caused by the destruction of the village, and for us to move out of the port of Ambo, and not to be in the port with us. ”
"Hehe, did the priest over there have a concussion of divine power in his brain? Not sober? Now that we have the upper hand, and he wants us to move out of Ambo? If we don't move, will he have a way to forcibly expel us? He thought it was five years ago?"
The deacon asked a series of rhetorical questions, mocking the priest for not being able to recognize the form.
"Leave him alone, just consume it like this, and when we reach an agreement with the group of young people outside the port, we will work together to expel the people of the Ocean Temple, and this will be our world from now on. ”
Some of his subordinates said with a sycophant: "Your Excellency's handling is the most correct, as long as we are reasonable with that group of young people, the temple over there is not our opponent at all, and their knights have heard that they have fallen into Truda, and it is a question whether they can come out again." ”
Saying that, his subordinates raised their heads and looked at the new deacon, and when they saw him smiling, they said cautiously: "But, Your Excellency, if we completely fall out with that side, will my lord blame us?"
The expression on the face of the deacon, who was still very happy, stiffened slightly, and then eased up, and said with some indifference: "My lord and that person have always been half-hostile and half-wooing, and they will not hesitate to attack when they can weaken her ability, and now that we have such a good opportunity here, how can we let it go?" So don't worry about this, even if you blame me, it is also to blame me, the deacon, and it has nothing to do with everyone. ”
Tarpais had been encroaching on Ambory's priesthood, and since Ambori lacked the strength to resist directly, she tried to change her seduction tactics in the hope of diverting the other's attention.
In the final analysis, there is still a conflict in the priesthood, and there is a sea breeze priesthood in Amberi's priesthood, which is what the Lord of the Storm wants most, and this rampaging destroyer has already risen to the idea of being the only god, and wants to control all the priesthood about the wind in his own hands.
And now on the ground, if Amberi's power can be weakened, the Storm Lord will definitely not blame the person who did it, but if it doesn't succeed, if Ambori asks him for an explanation, it is difficult to say whether the Storm Lord will run out of this deacon as a scapegoat.
Adès is also thinking about the matter here in Ambo Port, if there is really a demon in Navabila County, then there is such an unstable dìng existence on his side, which will erupt at any time, then when fighting against demons, it will make people worry and be very insecure.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Ades sat in the carriage back to the Viscount's Mansion and thought silently. (To be continued......) R1292
