The owner of the Mage Tower, Ms. Rihanna, the resident mage, is thirty years old and unmarried. She has already arranged the conference room, waiting for the arrival of the extraordinary person and the special correspondent. Her mature and noble appearance exuded outstanding grace and temperament, and even a large robe could not hide her curves.
"Welcome, Your Excellency Valkyrie, Your Excellency the Quasi-Knight, and all Extraordinary Ones. Please wait a moment. I have informed Lord Word Bearers and Lord Stalker that they have arrived in the city and will be here shortly."
She put down the case file at hand, stood up gracefully from the sofa to greet the guests, and her every move attracted attention. As she tapped the table with her wand, the porcelain bottle and the tea set beside it started to move on their own, jumping together like little rabbits. Then, white steam came out of the porcelain bottle, and an alluring aroma hit your nose. The porcelain cups stood next to the porcelain bottles one after another, took the coffee and jumped to everyone's hands.
"Oh!" The young people present exclaimed together.
"Please help yourself with sugar and milk," Master Rihanna returned to her seat, "Your Excellency Safirion has worked with me for many years. If I hadn't received his report, I couldn't believe that the tide of the undead would appear. In Raven City.”
"Has the extraordinary wizard Lorsas contacted here? When will he arrive?" Erza asked. She took a sip of the good coffee, frowned slightly, and began to put sugar piece by piece into the coffee cup.
Griffith followed her actions and added coffee to the sugar: "We had an encounter with these monsters at the port. Judging from the battle, the undead have a good battlefield organization. We need martial law."
"Really~" Ms. Rihanna looked at everyone and sighed. Griffith vaguely felt that the focus of her gaze and sigh seemed to be Erza, who was full of youth but had already surpassed him in rank.
"I just asked the city what they meant. They are very resistant to martial law and believe that the living corpses have not spread yet and the situation is still controllable." The attitude of the mage lady was similar to that of the garrison knight.
It seems that the resistance is indeed great. Griffith said regretfully: "When the tragedy in Neopolis first showed signs of danger, the locals also said that the situation was under control. Not long after, living corpses began to flood the city, and they said that all necessary measures had been taken."
Erza and the Beyonders looked at Griffith. He continued: "In the end, after thousands of people died, they said that there should have been a better way at that time... It was too late.
"Ms. Rihanna, martial law must be implemented as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no need for martial law when the zombies spread."
"What's the use of martial law if we don't need it?" Uros asked casually.
Griffith stood up, glanced at everyone, and said:
"Extermination order."
"..."
At this time, Miss Leila, the mage apprentice, arrived. She saluted everyone respectfully:
"My lords, the Beyonders, Word Bearers and Stalkers have been notified and are leaving the city hall with their Beyonder teams to come here. Lord Lordes' teleportation array is establishing contact with us. It is expected that Will arrive in ten minutes.”
"The psychic echo generator is next door. If you need it, you can contact Beyeland and other regions. The signal is very clear." Master Rihanna got up and took everyone to the conference room, and went to arrange Lourdes' journey.
The conference room of the Mage Tower has a large long table placed near the front, leaving seats for the extraordinary, the resident mage and Griffith. Beyond the long table are more than twenty sets of tables and chairs, prepared for the Extraordinaries participating in this mission.
There were two officers present. Erza still retains her military status. She is already the leader of a first-class assault squadron and can serve as the temporary commander of all armed forces in this area. Griffith was the Reserve Assault Squadron Leader, three ranks below her, but even so, he was still an officer.
Master Rihanna sent them a mountain of dossiers and files, all of which were reports on suspected black magic incidents in the past few days. It would take a day to read them all. Amber, who had no military status or public position, sat across from him, flipping through documents for a while, and then looking up at Griffith. Uros, Hakan and Pella were temporarily sent out, and a squadron of city defense troops was arranged to act with them, and they had to get familiar with them first.
Griffith found that he couldn't finish the material in a short time, so he went to the teleportation array for a walk, and then contacted the two extraordinary beings. When he came back, he happened to see Erza getting up to get the documents on the table. She bent down and stretched out her hand forward. Her slender, elastic and powerful waist, and her round and plump mature curves were pressed and raised in front of Griffith's eyes.
Griffith suddenly looked away and began to endorse the information he had:
"Bishop Horus and His Excellency Moreau have mobilized the local city defense army, garrison and priests in Revan City. The Holy Light Church has prepared medical and isolation facilities. Although they have not implemented martial law, they have also built them in the upper city. Established some checkpoints and lines of defense;
"His Excellency Moro is sorting out the files and intelligence from the Bureau of Investigation in recent days, and the police department is also under his control.
"I have drafted a proposal, and when it is voted upon by the Extraordinary Meeting, we will issue martial law in the name of the former enemy committee, skipping the garrison mages and city hall."
"Yeah." Erza returned to her seat and nodded thoughtfully.
There were not many people in the conference room, and it was still a little while before the meeting started. Erza and Amber just looked at Griffith together, as if they wanted to eat him.
"What, what?" Griffith asked a little guilty, standing there hesitating whether he could sit down.
Amber tapped the table lightly and said to Erza: "Let me tell you, he feels different from what you described. I had this feeling last time we met, and this time it is even stronger."
"Tsk~" Erza moved forward, looked up at Griffith's face and observed it for a while, then stood up and circled around him. The crisp sound of greaves and heels on the floor went straight into the soul.
The bewildered knight-to-be swallowed.
Erza suddenly held his shoulders, stood on tiptoes, sniffed his cheeks and hair, and whispered in her ear: "Griffith, you have a woman~"
"What!" Amber exclaimed, "Really?"
"Of course," Erza covered Griffith's mouth and said for him, "You don't need to hear his explanation, I'm sure he has!
“In the past, Griffith gave me the impression that although he was a responsible and brave good man, I always felt that something was missing.
"He is different now, more powerful and confident, but he also has a delicate and considerate temperament, and a touch of gentleness that cannot be hidden."
Amber shook her head and said she couldn't understand: "Captain, you are so awesome. I can't understand so much information."
Yes, how can you tell! Griffith asked in his heart with admiration on his face.
"Hmm," Erza grabbed the mithril pendant from Griffith's collar and shook it, "I discovered this, and then I made it up casually, and you actually believe it."
"..."
"However, his charm has indeed increased a lot than before." Erza shook her finger and explained,
“It felt like there was a lamb grazing on the grass.
"A big bad wolf spotted it, but was not prepared to catch it right away.
"But if there is a big bad wolf next to the lamb, other animals in the forest will think, is it really such a delicious food? They can't help but want to grab it and eat it."
Erza hooked Griffith's neck, leaned close to his earlobe and whispered:
"Are you scared?"
The hot breath tickled Griffith's ears. He grabbed the pendant that Galadia had given her.
loyalty! I want loyalty! He yelled in his mind. What about cultists? Where are the living corpses? Come and fight! Don't leave me in the office.
"The Word Bearer, Bishop Horus Osiris, has arrived!"
A priest ran into the meeting room to report and rescued Griffith.
The Sequence 6 transcendent of the priest path wore a pure white robe and rushed into the venue like a hurricane. His body is extremely strong, his shoulders are as broad as a city wall, and he is more powerful than many paladins and spellbreakers.
Griffith immediately thought of Krista. During the final battle, she took the prayer book from her waist and tied it to a chain to use as a meteor hammer.
There was a flash of silver metal under Horus's robe, and he made the sound of heavy plate armor clashing as he walked, roaring like a siege engine...
So you are the vanguard and shield of the extraordinary commandos! Griffith suddenly understood.
"The Holy Light protects us," Horus said loudly, his sonorous voice almost tearing off the roof of the conference room, and he greeted everyone good afternoon in a priest's unique way, "Evil will be purified!"
Your purification must be done through physical means! Griffith felt his ears ringing.
Erza packed up the documents and moved to the farthest corner of the conference table, letting Griffith sit in the middle to block the big priest.
Stalker Moreau Bacchus followed. His expression was so cold that he was almost expressionless, as elusive as a bottomless abyss. He nodded to everyone silently, came to his seat and sat down.
Professor Lourdes was the last to arrive, accompanied by Master Rihanna. He arrived directly through the teleportation circle of the mage tower. The team of Beyonders who directly belonged to him came from other places on their own, and they probably didn't know each other.
The professor should sit in the middle position as he should. He is the caster and the protagonist of the story at all times. The extraordinary beings and Griffith sat on either side of him.
Pella and the others also returned to the conference room, walked into the conference room with the other three teams of Beyonders who arrived, and sat down each.
Among these people, Griffith was delighted to find two familiar figures.
Ophelia and Midea came too. They are Shutoral who are directly under the royal family, and they were actually sent here to perform tasks.
Midian Maier is a perseverant warrior. He and Miyo are the best organizers in the first grade. Even if they are thrown a ball of loose sand, they can shape themselves into warriors. The troops under his command will be more tenacious and move faster, making them the most reliable force at critical moments.
Ophelia's personal strength is very strong. Although she was hiding it, she was one of the only two known holders of the Magic Eye among the eight hundred people in the entire first grade, the other being Galadia.
Miss Elf cannot participate in such a dangerous front-line battle due to her status. She is actually the most suitable candidate to partner with Griffith. Fortunately, Ophelia's strength is extraordinary enough to fill this gap.
