It took almost half a day, and he also ate some black bread in the middle to replenish his consumed physical strength and increased hunger, before Feng Zhan finally returned to Gandall's house. This was because he was running, otherwise , it is estimated that there will be no hope of arriving when it gets dark.
The moment he saw Gandall's house, he even wanted to cry. This unscrupulous master left him alone and came back. Or, to be more precise, Gandaul didn't go to the city wall at all, but went straight to the city wall. He went home and went to bed. He said that war should be left to the young. He, an old man, had better avoid it. Let Feng Zhan roll his eyes. If he didn't know that Gandaur could kill a lot of scary people with just a few casual visits. Feng Zhan almost believed it.
It's just that Feng Zhan didn't believe it, but there was someone who believed it, and that was the city lord. He warmly asked Gandaur to leave and take care of himself. He deeply paid tribute to Gandaur for being so old and still caring about the safety of Anfa City, and expressed his sincere gratitude. I will definitely give you a satisfying thank you gift afterwards...
After some refusal, Gandall "reluctantly" accepted it, and told Feng Zhan to do his best to defend Anfa City. Feng Zhan felt a burst of contempt, but his face was filled with tears of relief. expression.
…
Opening the door, Feng Zhan was stunned for a moment. He saw five large boxes of gold coins. The moment he came in, Gandaur casually put them away. Then he smiled at him and said, "Andre, I My beloved disciple is back, and he has done a good job. This is given by the city lord. It belongs to you and me. Of course, let the master keep it for you, haha! Go and cook. The master is hungry, so you can give it to yourself. Do something good and treat yourself well!" Then he returned to his second floor, said he would sleep for a while, and then came down to eat.
Feng Zhan just froze on the spot, acting like a cow and a horse, suffering and suffering, what a young lady's body and maid's fate! Then he rushed into the kitchen and vented all his pain on the ingredients and tableware!
Looking at Lilith, who was squeezing the whimpering little flying dragon Jörmungandsen, she tilted her head, and then laughed forward and backward, but she didn't make a sound, but kneaded Feng Zhan's " "Son", the little guy whined even more, asking for help from "Mom"!
I ate brown bread for lunch, plus a few slices of roasted wild boar legs. It was the richest thing I had eaten in a long time. Plus a glass of fruit wine given by Gandalf. I was very satisfied. Otherwise, the lower the expectations, the better. It’s easy to be satisfied!
In the next two months, Feng Zhan once again lived a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. If nothing unexpected happened, he probably wouldn't know how long such a life would last!
…
"Quick! We must bring the news to the Archbishop!" A knight from the Holy Bishop Church of Dawn shouted loudly on horseback. The other knights following behind him also urged their horses tightly and flew away after a while. , disappeared on the flat road made of rocks.
Almost at the same time, whether on the road or on the trail, there were many figures running towards the nearest city.
Although the clothes of these people may be different, it can be seen from the emblems on their conspicuous places that they are all clergy, both male and female, and of different ages. Some are a team composed of a single church, and some are members of a single church. It is a joint team of several churches.
Others are clearly dressed in imperial attire, but have different imperial emblems, showing that they are not from the same country, but they are harmonious together.
They may be different in this way, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they look solemn, nervous, covered in blood, and their clothes are ragged...
At midnight, the city's old and new bells rang, heralding the division between yesterday and today. On the city wall of Anfa City, the city guards were in high spirits and did not relax at all. Two months ago, although they did not encounter the skeleton army attack, but a few days later, news was received that many cities had been attacked by skeletons, and the overwhelming skeletons besieged the cities, almost making those cities that were as pitiful as isolated islands in the sea vulnerable to attack at any time. Drifting in the wind and rain.
That night, although many cities resisted the raging skeleton attacks, there were still many cities that eventually became ghostly places with no survivors.
The number of these cities has exceeded the scope of the Kingdom of Els. In almost all countries on the continent, more or less cities have been attacked. Of course, there are still some that have not, but they are already like giants. The same thirteen empires.
This incident sweeping across the continent is naturally impossible for the Thirteen Empires to take seriously, because it is tantamount to a direct provocation to them if the countries under their jurisdiction are attacked, even if these are unknown. Undead creatures suddenly appeared from nowhere, and another group was also extremely angry at the undead creatures that suddenly attacked the city. These are the major temples and churches in the world of Esgaia. The appearance of these unclean creatures is already a warning to God. The blasphemy, and now they dare to attack their city so openly, makes the church feel that this is the biggest provocation to the gods they serve.
Therefore, the thirteen major empires and the major temples and churches came together easily. The two sides hit it off immediately, and immediately joint investigation teams rushed to all parts of the continent, vowing to find the source of these undead creatures and catch them all.
…
"Open the city gate quickly!" A hoarse, hoarse voice suddenly appeared in the darkness.
"Brother, did you hear that!?" On the city wall of Anfa City, a city guard looked at the dark environment outside and asked in a low voice the city guard who was on duty next to him.
Another city guard seemed to have heard something, but he was not sure yet. After all, it was still outside the city in the middle of the night. He suddenly said such a sentence and asked you to open the city gate. It felt really weird no matter what.
Just as the two people were muttering, a loud roar came from outside the city again, and the rapid sound of horse hooves was also transmitted to the city wall at this time.
"What are you two muttering about? Cheer up. If something happens, I'll beat you up! Have you ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag!?" The sound of scolding soon sounded, and the two of them looked back. Lord Nuaini is one of the eight knights, but he didn't expect that it would be Lord Nuaini patrolling the city wall tonight.
The two men immediately straightened their bodies and shouted back, "Lord Nuaini, someone outside the city asked you to open the city gate!"
When Nuaini heard this, he frowned. Forget it that these two boys were not serious about guarding the city. They made up such an excuse to treat him as a fool. It was so late at night, what the hell! But just when he had just finished complaining in his heart and was about to scold these two boys, there was another loud roar from outside the city, "People on the wall, open the door quickly, quickly!"
This time, not only the two city guards who reported, but everyone on the city wall, including Nueni, heard it. This roar contained anxiety and even some anger, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves. But it was even more urgent.
"Damn, it really does happen!" Nuaini murmured. Unexpectedly, he almost hit himself in the face. But before he could figure out what was going on, under the dark city wall, horse hooves were already approaching the city wall. In the sound, a team of more than a dozen knights appeared. When he looked carefully, below were all the knights of the Church of the Dawn Holy Bishop with a shimmering light all over them. Some of them couldn't believe their eyes, and they tried their best to After rubbing it, he was sure that what he saw was really someone from the Holy Bishop Church of Dawn.
But this did not allow him to open the city gate directly. After repeated confirmations, he ordered the city gate to open a temporary passage dedicated to night, allowing these scarred knights to enter. Looking at the disappearing figures of these knights, he suddenly thought , about a month ago, I heard the city lord say that it seemed that the thirteen major empires and the church jointly sent a team to investigate the source of the skeleton siege. Look at this team of knights from the Holy Bishop Church of Dawn. Could it be that they were sent out? Team?
…
"Nuaini, are you saying that you saw the team sent by the Holy Bishop of Dawn?" City Lord Jaffa asked in surprise.
"Yes, sir!" Nuaini said seriously.
"Oh, it seems to be true. The empire and the church are going to make some big move!" Jiafa seemed to be talking to himself, but his voice was loud, and Nuaini who was next to him could hear it very clearly.
"Sir, do we need to do something?" Nuaini asked tentatively.
"No, a small city like ours has no ability to respond. Just wait for the kingdom's order. Even a kingdom must obey the empire's arrangements!" Jiafa smiled and said, "Go ahead and do your best. Just wait for the news from above!"
"Yes, sir!" Nueni responded loudly.
"By the way, Nueni, tell the others to stay in the city during this period and don't go out! Just do your own thing!" Jaffa ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Nuaini turned and left to inform others of the city lord's order!
…
"You mean, you saw a huge arch?" Reeves asked with a frown.
"Yes, Lord Archbishop!" The knight kneeling on the ground replied respectfully, "And we entered through that door, but there..."
Reeves waved his hand to tell him not to say anything. Instead, he waved away the people around him. Then the staff appeared in his hand and tapped the ground lightly. The whole room was enveloped in a strong light. , if it’s not obvious just inside the house, but if you look outside, the whole house is as dazzling as the sun, almost lighting up the night!
Back in the house, Reeves looked at the knight kneeling on the ground and said seriously, "Say it!"
"That's it, Lord Reeves..." The knight began to tell his experience, but even in the room, only Reeves could hear what he was saying, let alone the people outside the room. As the knight continued to speak, Reeves's expression became more and more unnatural, but after the knight finished speaking, he quickly calmed down his emotions, nodded, and signaled that the knight could leave.
Removing the light that enveloped the entire room, Reeves ordered the knight to warn others not to say anything to the outside world, and to ask the knights who followed him to come to him one by one to report!
The knight immediately took the order and left. Not long after, knights with blood splattered on their bodies and ragged clothes entered the room one after another and reported to Reeves everything they saw and heard.
During the questioning again and again, Reeves repeatedly thought about the disappearances that each knight brought back. Even if they went together, they would inevitably have different observations and the resulting information would be different.
After taking a look at the already lit sky, Reeves left the room where he had stayed all night. When he appeared outside the room, feeling the bright sunshine and the fresh air in the morning, the expression on his face became... Feeling slightly more comfortable, after taking a deep breath, he moved his feet again and walked towards the center of the Palace of the Holy Bishop of Dawn. In the early morning sun, his figure appeared so slender and majestic. .
