Chapter 173: Initiation (5)
Ryan looked at the dwarf rock defender who fell back into a coma, and fell into deep thought, originally humans and dwarves were in the same breath, the dwarf king Reynolds was in trouble, and Ryan naturally wanted to rescue with all his might, but the information he got now made Ryan's heart full of doubts, making his heart a little uncertain.
Vivian outside the tent didn't hear a sound inside for a long time, she was worried about Ryan, so she found a wooden tray and walked in with a few glasses of water, Vivian deliberately made some noise when she opened the door curtain, and her footsteps were heavier than usual, which naturally interrupted Ryan's thoughts.
Ryan saw that it was Vivian who came in, and knew in his heart that the latter cared about him, so he deliberately found an excuse to come in and take a look, he didn't say much, he directly took the water glass sent by Vivian and drank it all, and then said to Bishop Quincy: "This matter is entrusted to you." With that, Ryan called out to Vivien and Miro to leave the tent.
Quincy looked at the dwarf who continued to fall into a coma on the bed, and knew very well in his heart what Ryan's pun meant, he asked himself if he was not a talker, but Ryan's performance just now really shocked him, was it the light of the gods shining on all things, or was it that Ryan, a mere mortal, had seen through the mystery of divine power?
When Ryan left the tent, he saw that Adra, Letoz and the others were already waiting outside, he raised his hand, motioned for everyone to come, and then asked, "Do you have a map?"
"Yes!" Adela was the first to reply.
"Okay, let's find a place to look at the map. Lane instructed, "Let's study the current situation." ”
Ryan and his party only walked a dozen steps to the tent next to it, which was brightly lit, and a huge map had been placed on the table in the center of the tent, and it was obvious that Adela had prepared everything in advance.
Ryan stood right in front of the map, and he reached for some of the marker flags and placed them on the map one by one, as the dwarven rock defender had just said. After doing this, Ryan tilted his head and thought about it again, threw away the marked flags in his hand, replaced them with flags of another color, and placed them in the imperial capital, Mochizuki City, Freedom Paradise and other places.
Ryan looked at the map covered with several different colors of flags in front of him, and began to think hard about what kind of connection there was, while Vivian and the others who were standing on the side were a little surprised, because they found that although Cassano defeated the invading undead legion, according to Ryan's placement, Cassano's crisis had not really been solved, and there were even signs of the undead legion in the mountains dozens of kilometers outside the popular archer station in Cassano's western frontier.
"This, this...... Isn't our camp on the Western Front dangerous?" Adela asked in a low voice, her words also representing the opinions of Vivien, Letoz and the others, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ryan, waiting for the latter's answer.
"Not necessarily!" Ryan's answer was very simple, but he gave his own explanation: "According to the dwarven warrior's description, there are undead armies here and here, and they are very strong. But I believe that these forces are not directed against us Cassano, but against the Dwarven Realm, perhaps...... Perhaps their intention was to block the news. ”
"Look. Ryan pointed to the map and said: "Reynolds and his party came here through the teleportation magic array, this location is almost more than 200 kilometers away from Black Rock City, after they traveled more than 150 kilometers of mountain roads, they were ambushed by the undead legion in this area, this is already very close to Black Rock City, but a large number of undead army has not been noticed by any dwarves, which is a little suspicious." ”
Speaking of this, Ryan pointed to the location of the "Tomahawk Castle" and said: "This is a small fortress of the dwarves, as far as I know, all the ground fortresses of the dwarves have tunnels to the underground, in other words, Reynolds They can return to Blackstone City through the underground passage of Tomahawk Castle, but they still sent reinforcements to three places, maybe Reynolds has sensed something." ”
"If my guess is correct, the rescue team that went to Blackstone City must have been wiped out, and now the dwarven Blackstone City has been attacked by the undead legion. This is obviously a big move, they used a large number of troops to besiege the human city, but such a huge force is completely just a division, and they have successfully delayed our pace and attention. ”
"So, what about the squad that asked for help from Demon Moon City?" Adela asked.
"Well, I can't guarantee this, but I remember that Freya once said that although there are many teleportation points on the continent that can be connected to Demon Moon City, but without the permission of the Elf Queen who has the moonlight brooch, these teleportation channels cannot be opened, I believe she will not be so careless, but let's contact it." ”
Speaking of this, Ryan began to release a small magic, the principle of this magic is similar to the teleportation magic of the elves, but it does not need to teleport objects, it just opens a channel to teleport images, so the complexity of the entire magic array and the mana consumed are incomparable.
Even so, it took Ryan several minutes to complete the magic array, and when a burst of white light flashed from the magic array, the ring-shaped magic array was activated. Ryan stared at the magic array, which was constantly changing shapes, waiting for Freya to appear, and after about ten seconds, Freya's familiar face appeared in the center of the magic array.
"Ryan. Freya spoke, but she only said two words, and noticed that Vivian, Adela and the others beside Ryan did not look very good, as if something had happened, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
"Freya, Reynolds was ambushed by the Legion of the Undead and is now trapped in Tomahawk Castle. Ryan described the point in a few simple sentences: "He sent three teams for help, one of which arrived in Cassano, and according to the description of the only surviving dwarven warrior, the other team returned the same way, hoping to contact you through the teleportation array......"
"No, I don't get any news here. Freya's face turned extremely bad after listening to Ryan's introduction, and she suddenly realized that something was wrong, the dignified dwarven king was actually ambushed in the dwarven kingdom, and that matter was either involved in the power struggle within the dwarves, or the forces of the undead army had completely or partially broken down the dwarves' defenses, and neither was good news.
"Then you have to be careful during this time, I'm worried that the undead legion will retrograde to Demon Moon City through the teleportation magic array. Ryan said worriedly.
"Rest assured, this problem does not exist. Freya smiled and explained for Ryan: "Any creature that receives this teleportation will be wrapped in the Kyaukjie Moonlight during the teleportation process, if it is an evil creature such as an undead or a demon, their essence is not compatible with the Kyaukjew Moonlight at all, but I am afraid that the teleportation will be torn apart by the powerful magic before it starts, unless it is a human existence like Catherine, but there may not be many such characters in the entire undead army, and even if they enter the Demon Moon City?" That would be the equivalent of entering the realm of a realm powerhouse!"
"There's nothing wrong with being careful. Ryan admonished, and then spoke: "Now Cassano's strength has not fully recovered, and Cassano's strength alone has no way to rescue Reynolds, what do you think we should do now? Organize an elite squad to attack? or ......"
"Neither is the wisest choice. Freya replied very decisively, "With the relationship between the elves and the dwarves, and the friendship between us and Reynolds, it is necessary to launch a rescue immediately. But it is a very crucial question, that is, since the undead army has an absolute advantage, why not strike a fatal blow at Reynolds, but sit back and watch him retreat to the Tomahawk Castle? Although the Dwarven Rock Defenders are very strong in combat, they are flesh and blood after all, and if the undead launch a non-stop onslaught, they will not be able to hold out until now. ”
This question is not a few words that can be clearly discussed, and it is impossible for Ryan to consume huge mana to maintain the magic array, so the two decided to prepare separately: at dawn, Freya will lead the elves to Cassano through the teleportation magic array, and Ryan will take advantage of this time to go to the location where the dwarven warriors were ambushed around Cassano, hoping to get more clues.
Ryan took a long breath, the worry about Reynolds's fate in his heart made his face not look very good, Vivian on the side knew this emotion of Ryan, she had the heart to comfort a few words, but she didn't know how to speak, the current situation is almost clear that it is a trap for Ryan to retreat, he will rescue the dwarf with all his might, it will drag the entire Cassano into the abyss, and giving up the rescue will make him feel guilty, and he will also lose the dwarf as an ally.
"Well, I'll go for a run now. Ryan quickly put his feelings of gain and loss behind him, and he began to exercise his authority as a lord: "Letoz, you immediately return to the camp on the Western Front and lead the Windswept Archer to retreat 30 kilometers overnight, although it is unlikely that the undead army will attack us again, but it is not a bad thing to be careful." In addition, the whole Cassano immediately enters a wartime state, Adela, you and Vivien sit in the Iron Fist Castle and keep all the armies in a fighting state, I hope that after giving the order to attack, all Cassano troops can enter the position and launch an attack in the shortest possible time. ”
"What about you...... Be careful yourself. Vivien knew she couldn't help, so she had to tell Ryan a few words.
Ryan looked at Vivien, who was full of worry, and replied with a confident face: "Don't worry, there are really few existences on this continent that can kill me, even if I encounter the plane projection of the demigod lich, I can't still run away." ”
