Chapter 1521: A Treasury Under the Flames
Ronald set off immediately, extremely fast.
Even without using the flying spell, he was in the direction that Marda was pointing in a quarter of an hour.
- The situation is very bad.
In front of Ronald was a noisy crowd, a soaring fire, and a ruined palace wall.
This is Olaire's palace!
This is the source of the riots in the city, and the palace in the midst of the festival is experiencing a sudden change!
"Wait...... Treasury?! ”
The idea came to Ronald before he could investigate the cause of the riots here.
Are the two church personnel in charge of guarding the treasury related?
With that in mind, Ronald rounded the panicked crowd and rushed to the location of the treasure house.
On the way, he also saw orcs singing.
Their powers are very different from the spell systems of the outside world.
With the sound of rapid singing, the original burning fire was suppressed. It's a pity that the fire here is not small, and with the power of the orcs' songs, it may take a lot of time to completely extinguish it.
“……”
"No wonder I'm in a hurry to find Olair."
It is indeed difficult for the orcs to deal with the fire with their songs.
But instead of Olell...... Even if this king of giant beasts is not the opponent of Ronald or the [Nine Rings Secret Society], he can definitely be called a handy to deal with such a fire.
With a sense of worry and relief, Ronald soon arrived at the location of the treasure house.
He was relieved to get here.
The location of the treasure house was already remote, and neither the riots nor the fire could intrude on it.
Ronald immediately stepped forward and entered the inside of the treasury.
Passing through the barrier that shielded perception, the mood swings of the two church spellcasters were also immediately sensed by him.
"Mr. Ronald!"
"Why are you here, it's almost time to enter the seal, right?"
Two church members noticed the break-in and immediately appeared.
After seeing that it was Ronald.
Although they had worries about the riots outside written on their faces, they were more puzzled by Ronald's presence here.
It's almost nightfall.
This powerful spellcaster should be fully concerned about entering the Holy Capital. There is no reason to come to the treasury alone at the critical moment when the ritual is about to be completed, this is already an internal problem of the church itself.
Ronald could see the two of them on guard and could understand their nervousness.
He immediately stopped and took a stand, before reaching out to the ground above him:
"I'm here to get into the seal."
"The ritual of entering the Holy Capital has reached the last moment, but there is a commotion here. I can't just let things go on and sit back and end up with the ritual being affected, right? ”
"So what's going on here, what's going on outside the commotion?"
Hearing Ronald's explanation, the two church casters looked at each other.
They accepted it, and one of them stepped forward and looked apologetic at Ronald:
"I'm sorry, but we're not sure about the situation."
"The mission given to us by Lord Saint Si is to guard the treasury and wait for our colleagues to come and take over. Therefore, as soon as we noticed that there was a disturbance in the outside world, we began to protect the treasure house......"
As the church caster said this, Ronald also noticed the clues of the other man's behavior.
Right where he entered the vault, and on the walls around him.
The mana that had only been laid out for a short time was building its form, and an unfinished defensive barrier had taken shape.
At the same time, the caster of the church continued:
"What we know is that the riot started about two hours ago, when the noise was at its worst outside, and we could even hear the movement directly in the treasury."
“……”
"Is that so...... I understand. ”
Ronald didn't stop too much and immediately said goodbye to the two.
Since there was nothing wrong with the Treasury side, there was no reason for him to continue to disturb the work of the Church's spellcasters.
Quickly leaving the underground, Ronald returns to the palace on the surface.
At this time, the surrounding chaos was still there, and it was easy to blend in, and it didn't take him much effort to get to the center of the riot.
Unlike other places that are shrouded in firelight.
There were many orcs here, but the fire had been extinguished, and they split into two groups, one of them surrounded the other, and the two sides faced off on the scorching ruins.
When Ronald came, one of the leaders near the inside was shouting:
"Crazy! See what you've all done? ”
"When Lord Oriel returns, you outlaws will surely be put to death! Now turn back in time, maybe your lord has mercy in his heart, and he can let you live! ”
These orcs were dressed as palace guards, and the content of their shouts also revealed their loyalty to Oriel.
However, the threatening words were exchanged for ridicule.
Among the orcs who surrounded them, someone immediately took the lead in taunting:
"Lord Oriel?"
"Why, do you still think he is invincible, the ruler of [Song in the Forest]?"
"Come on!"
"The outsiders of a few days ago have already defeated that coward. Look here, even though we broke into his palace and burned his property, the failed guy didn't show up! ”
The sarcast's voice fell, and people immediately followed suit.
Whether it's insulting Oriel or threatening the besieged orcs, malicious words permeate the entire space.
Especially here is still [Song in the Forest].
Many orcs sing short and fast minor tunes, and although the power of the song is not strong, it adds up to a lot of real pressure.
The encirclement tightened little by little, and the threat grew closer.
Seeing this, the leader of the surrounded orcs also knew that he had no way out, so he could only hold his weapon and shout:
"Prepare for battle!"
"This group of fanatics has committed an unforgivable sin!"
For a while, the palace guards also sang loudly.
They sang in unison, majestic tunes, brandished their weapons, and charged at the orcs who surrounded them.
The battle is on the verge of breaking out.
In the face of warriors who are undergoing daily training, the orcs who surround them are certainly no opponent.
Under normal circumstances, I am afraid that a single charge can cause them to disperse.
But [Song in the Forest] is different.
Among the besiegers, some orcs sing special tunes that inspire tyranny and greed in the hearts of others, and make people fight without fear of death.
And then with the advantage of numbers.
The besiegers, who were supposed to be defeated, even surrounded the palace guards and gradually gained the upper hand!
But the leader of the palace guards was extremely brave.
Armed with a spear in his hand, he quickly overturned several people under the reinforcement of his singing, and quickly approached the leader of the besiegers, and the lyrics echoed this scene:
"Foolish rebels, rebels who have committed the following crimes, under the light of our king, you will be doomed!"
In the song, the leader of the guards who charges quickly is like a hero in the story.
However, there was no panic in the face of the charge.
He simply arrogantly pointed to the ground ravaged by the flames, and scolded:
"Idiot, what else are you talking about Oriel!"
"Look around you, do you think he'll be able to come back?"
