Chapter 244: The Head of the City (I)

Bent hurriedly turned his head to look behind him, excited and eager like a drowning traveler finally grasping a life-saving straw.

Behind them, a group of people came up at some point, and one of the first few people in the middle was the one who had just spoken out to answer his question.

A black priest's robe, coupled with the scale badge with a crown on his chest, showed the identity of the person who came, His Excellency Bishop Kyleus.

His short and medium-length blond hair fluttered wantonly with the wind on the castle tower, and his blood-red eyes were full of doubt and anxiety at this time, and his eyes were full of seriousness, staring straight at the frenzy surging here in the distance.

The two people behind him were Bellamy, who was wearing a new set of high-end equipment, and the wild elf girl with a peerless appearance. With her long purple hair and long pointed ears, combined with her unusually hot and proud body, the girl dressed as a nun still shines even when she hides behind the priest.

After Kyrlius got the news, he immediately brought the two men here to investigate the situation. Paris, the most powerful of the three, was left by Kylelius to guard the church.

Kylelius paid great attention to this church, not for any other reason, but simply because it stored a batch of magic materials that Kylelius needed. It's not a lot, but it's enough for Kylelius to perform his magic spells, and it lasts for many days.

After Kylelius learned of the situation, his first reaction was that the red-robes had launched it in advance. So for the protracted war that is likely to come, the church is an important stronghold. Whatever you say, you must send someone to guard it.

"But how did you find out so quickly?, Clenon, there shouldn't be any obvious flaws?" said Callius, who was slightly surprised, to himself.

He didn't expect an answer, after all, it had already happened, and it was not necessary to think about it now.

But someone gave an unexpected answer, talking about vampires who have been in the same industry and have been engaged for a hundred years...... Paris. With her years of experience, she immediately guessed the possible situation, and said to the priest, "Lord Kyleus, it may be a regular contact. ”

"Regular contact, but Lucy said that their regular contact was the day after tomorrow, how could it be two days in advance?" asked Kyleus, who had heard about their regular contact hours from Lucy.

"Could it be that Lucy Pell betrayed the priest?!" Cheryl on the side guessed in a cold tone with angry eyes when she heard this.

Paris naturally knew who Lucy was. Kyrlius though had a cautious personality. But in his opinion, these things still need to be told to his cronies, so as not to have unnecessary misunderstandings. For various reasons, he was not afraid of them betraying or divulging.

She smiled when she heard this, ignoring Cheryl's usual nervousness. Explained to the two, "Lucy is not going to betray your lordship. The 'putrefaction cyst' on her body hasn't been lifted yet. She's not going to kill herself. ”

"What's going on?" Cheryl asked, confused.

"Quite simply, what Lucy told Mistress Kylelius was the time of regular contact between her, or the shadows, and Clenon. But Clenon served as the intelligence officer in the red robe. So naturally, he and the red robe also have "

"It was a mistake. Kylelius smacked his lips when he heard this, and said with remorse.

But then he put all this uselessness behind him, and he decided: "Well, this is the end of the matter, and there is no use saying anything more." So I'm going to check on the situation with Bellamy and Cheryl now, Paris stays here and is in charge of guarding the church, and the most important thing is the magic materials upstairs, so I must take care of it. When someone comes, remember to notify me with a telepathic connection. ”

As he spoke, he cast the magic of the Fifth Ring of the Prophecy Faction on the two of them, 'McGonagall's Psychic Connection'.

This is an advanced skill of secondary telepathy, and the effect is basically the same, except that 'McGonagall's telekinesis' can connect multiple people at the same time, and the effective distance is much larger.

After that, he took Cheryl and Bellamy to the southern city wall, and on the way met the Count and Rick Luxemburg, who also rushed to hear the news, and then everyone came to the city wall where the incident occurred.

Kellius and the Count did not alarm the garrisons on the city wall, and came to it on their own, looking at the black oppression in the distance, everyone's faces were not good-looking.

After Kylelius relied on his superhuman vision to see the enemy on the opposite side carefully, he further affirmed his guess just now, the dozens of red-robed people behind the most black, and the magician guards proved very well that it was indeed the red-robed ones who acted in advance.

What puzzled Kylelius was that these 'people' were almost impossible to be considered alive, and although they barely maintained their human form, they seemed to have only a little instinct to eat, and there was nothing to call them human except for their appearance.

This reminded Kylelius of a special creature, neither a dead undead nor a living being, but something in between. The product of failure after the vampires' initial embrace, the ghouls who wander between life and death.

Then happened the scene where Kyrlius had just spoken.

Bent saw a group of people suddenly appear behind him, and with a hint of surprise and deep joy, he ran quickly towards this direction. There was no sign of despair and helplessness just now, if it weren't for the cold sweat on his face that still hadn't dried, no one would have put him on the mat with the stiff and trembling man just now.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's great that you're here! I'm the leader of the team in charge of guarding here today, and my name is Bent. He came to everyone, ignoring the sweat on his head, and said to everyone with excitement on his face.

As the highest administrator of this town, His Excellency Viscount Rick, as the mayor of the town, stepped out of the crowd and asked about the situation: "Captain Bent, how is the situation here now, let me briefly introduce it." ”

The thick momentum accompanied by a heavy tone rushed towards the squad leader who had just come back to his senses, and a layer of fine sweat once again oozed from poor Bent's forehead, which had not yet been wiped off.

He replied tremblingly, "Your Excellency, as you can see, we have not yet made contact with the enemy, so there is no situation. However, such a large number of enemies are not at all something that these rookies under my command can withstand. ”

After saying that, he looked at his mayor carefully, and found that Rick didn't react, just frowned and stared at the group of 'people' outside, as if thinking about something. (To be continued......)
