"How is Lord Ronan?"

After Marco and others arrived at the ruined Ronan Castle, they instantly felt a sense of loss that "everything is over". But fortunately there were many survivors outside the city, so Marco found one with the mentality of giving it a try.

The castle guards asked about the Earl's whereabouts. When he learned that Earl Ronan was still fine, Marco almost couldn't hold back his inner excitement and shouted. When he hurriedly came to Earl Ronan and his people

Only after setting up camp outside the city did they learn about the destruction of Ronan Castle from the other party.

"The huge...monster..." Marco couldn't help but feel a little scared when he looked at the huge crater where Ronenberg was. But fortunately, he did show more perseverance than ordinary people in some things, so Marco

He tried his best to remain calm and listened to what Count Ronan had told him.

"So that's it...the two ladies of the Chosen One..." Marco was very grateful to Erica and others who intervened in the middle, because if it weren't for her existence, I'm afraid Ronenberg would definitely have died before he arrived.

Total destruction.

Not to mention the huge tentacle that stretched out from the ground, the guy who razed the noble residential area to the ground was definitely not something that the knights could easily deal with, and to say the least, the monsters here were also better than those in other towns.

The ones in other towns are more dangerous. At least the monsters in other towns are at most the stronger living dead, but the ones here can transform into more terrifying existences.

Flesh puppet, when Marco heard the name again, the first thing he felt was a dull pain on the side of his face. It seemed that the embarrassing ending last time was really lingering. That was the first time he faced that kind of monster.

But the result became an indelible stain on the Cavaliers' career. Of course, this was not just for Marco himself. At least he took the initiative to adjust the Cavaliers' personnel arrangements after that incident, and during this trip

Previously, Marco and Miles also carried out a large-scale cleanup of the cannibals in the Cavaliers. Now, although these people he brought here, I dare not say that they are all elite soldiers, but at least everyone is

That bad situation will never happen again.

"Your Majesty, where are the two chosen ladies now?" Marco asked quickly after a conversation.

"They have left." Count Ronan looked up at the position in the north without saying anything, and then he stayed while Marco left the camp to review the knights brought by the other party.

After all, Earl Ronan continues to employ people at this moment, because in addition to the large number of monsters and survivors still existing in the collapsed ruins of the city, more importantly, Ronan Castle is in urgent need of a reliable armed force at his disposal. So far, Ronan has

The disaster in the Southern Earldom is still not over. In addition to the towns Marco and the others passed along their way, there are actually several sizable towns around Ronan Castle, and there are also a large number of corrupt nobles gathered in them.

Judging from the current conclusions, the more such a place is, the more likely it is to become a potential threat to instability, or a living dead disaster may have broken out in these places, regardless of whether these places are safe or not. So Ronan

Counts all need an armed force to maintain order and destroy monsters.

After Earl Ronan followed Marco to review the knights, a group of Nightingale members and Viscount Greville's advance team followed the knights from the west to Ronan Castle. Just as Earl Ronan was discussing the plan with everyone

While investigating and recapturing surrounding towns, I suddenly remembered Agnes, who I hadn't seen for a long time.

"Oh, Miss Campbell... I remember she left with those ladies..." Valos suddenly remembered something again, and then quickly took out a crumpled letter from his body and handed it to Earl Ronan.

This is a letter Agnes left before she left. In addition to polite farewells, it also mentioned some very obscure information. After all, Agnes came from the east.

In addition to the village, she also quietly investigated several fortresses controlled by corrupt nobles around Ronan Castle, because at the beginning, she also thought that the rebellion in the Earl of Ronan had begun.

After Earl Ronan quickly read the letter, he crushed it up and threw it into the bonfire and burned it to ashes. Then the Earl summoned his entourage and Marco and said: "Gather the knights and the remaining castle guards.

Then quickly go to the two fortresses to the east..."

"Lord Earl? To the east..." The followers were a little uneasy and tried to stop them, but Earl Ronan said disapprovingly: "The situation is urgent and needs to be dealt with urgently. Don't question my order, it will slow down our pace. There is no such thing over there.

Monster...but the situation is more dangerous than having a monster. "

"My Lord Count, do you mean that the soldiers over there are restless?" Varos came forward and asked softly.

"Yes, all the nobles in the city are dead, so they didn't receive any information about the incident this morning. Although they could wait patiently in the morning, I'm afraid they can't hold it anymore now.

." Count Ronan looked up at the temporary camp outside the city and said: "There is not even a low wall here. If they attack, we will definitely die... Fortunately, we still have a chance..."

Although Marco didn't quite understand the conversation between Varos and Count Ronan, at least he could tell that Count Ronan's situation was indeed very critical at this moment. You must know that although Ronan Castle is a territorial capital city, it is also different from other large-scale

The city never garrisoned troops in the city. All the troops stationed in the territory were arranged in the surrounding fortresses of the city according to the situation. There are two fortresses with a capacity of 1,000 people to the east of Ronan Castle, although the local garrison is nominally Earl Ronan.

Under the command of the corrupt nobles, in fact, except for the guards of Jinghua Castle, most of the garrison in the earldom have long been domesticated dogs of corrupt nobles, and they are absolutely obsessed with various factors such as wealth and desire.

Dare to do crazy things.

Just as Count Ronan was drawing a map on the dirt with Marco and explaining the location and structure of the fortress, an entourage who had just left at Count Ronan's order hurried back, holding a hand in his hand.

Stacked colorful cloth rolls.

"Bring these..." Count Ronan picked up a few rolls of cloth, then selected a few of them and opened them in front of Marco and said: "The flag of the Oliphan family is pretty good.

Complete, it should be enough for you to trick you into opening the fortress gate..."

Hearing what the count said, Marco instantly understood the count's plan. The pile of dirty cloth rolls in front of him should be the family flags of the local corrupt nobles. It seemed that they should have been pulled from the collapse pit from below not long ago.

As for the origin of the flag, Marco didn't care. Anyway, he only knew a little about Ronenberg, but even so, he had heard of the family name Oliphan, and he had the impression that there should be a count in this surname.

title, so as Earl Ronan said, this dirty flag is indeed very weighty.

As for the location and structure of the two fortresses, as well as the members inside, Marco already knew the information by heart, and what he had to do was to lead his knights to disguise themselves as private soldiers of the corrupt nobles in the city and then enter the fortress and kill or

Control the commander in the fortress, then gather these fortress soldiers and rush to the surrounding towns to maintain order. Although Marco does not think that the mediocre soldiers who are rotten from the root still have fighting ability, at least Viscount Greville's

The army will not be able to arrive here until evening at the earliest, and before that, I and others must protect the safety of Earl Ronan and the survivors of Ronan Castle at all costs. As for the monsters in the collapse pit, although

It's a pity, but it can only be left to the Night Owl people to deal with, and the advance team sent by the Viscount took on the responsibility of the count's guards.

To be honest, in Marco's eyes, Count Ronan's task assignment is really ridiculous, or in other words, he is almost as if he is giving credit to his knights. After all, the knights have to do something

Usually only the nobility's cronies would handle matters, but Earl Ronan entrusted this important task to a group of outsiders like himself. Although there should be an element of gratitude to Miss Chris, the honor after his success was not

It is a real meritorious service. To take a step back, the group of knights under Marco over there may be eligible to become full-time officers and receive medals after this time.

Although Marco was very excited, his recuperation still did not allow him to show it, so Marco could only continue to listen to the rest of the count's instructions with a straight face.

After everyone left the area, Count Ronan took Varos and a few castle guards who were still well-built to a nearby grove.

"Cut down all the trees, and tell the young and strong among the survivors... no, let all the men, women, old and young come together to help cut down." After speaking, Earl Ronan looked at the already blazing sun and added: "Be sure to do it.

We must build enough defense measures to resist the enemy before evening. We cannot place all our hopes on others and tell everyone that we can only rely on ourselves to survive!"

"Yes..." Everyone nodded and began to get busy. However, Varos did not follow everyone away. Instead, he quietly approached Count Ronan and asked cautiously: "My lord... you don't believe these reinforcements."

?"

"No...it's not that I don't believe it..." Count Ronan looked up at the dilapidated Jinghua Castle in the distance and smiled bitterly: "Now that things have happened, I don't know what to believe anymore. This is the first time I have felt this since I was a child.

What does it mean to be 'panicked'? My home was invaded by monsters, and I could only escape in embarrassment. The ground under my feet was full of dangers, but I had neither intelligence to operate nor troops to dispatch, so I could only panic.

I am as uneasy as a bereaved dog, hiding here and trembling..."

"Lord Earl!" Varos shouted easily, because he found that Earl Ronan's mood seemed a little excited, and for a moment he even felt that he did not recognize this Earl at all.

Count Ronan looked at the uneasy Valos. His eyes were very sincere, and there seemed to be no trace of turbidity in his eyes. It was his honesty that gave him a little extra trust in him, so Ronan

The count also quickly calmed down.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of giving up on myself, and I don't have the face to see her in this embarrassing state..." This sentence was very vague, but Varos still understood its meaning.

But just when Varos was about to say something, a low roar suddenly came from his abdomen, and before he could react, Count Ronan also remembered the same melody in his abdomen.

"It seems like we haven't eaten since morning..." Count Ronan rubbed his belly, then licked his lips and said, "Varos, our food..."

"Barely enough. The guards and some people ventured to find some food in the ruins below, and Night Owl's spies also went to the ruins of the store to look for food. And... those ladies came here

Before leaving, they also left behind some... strange things. Although they said they were food, but..." Valos thought that he didn't quite understand how to eat the things packed in the cartons, because the plastic in the cartons

As well as packaging materials such as aluminum foil, no one has ever seen it.

"Let's go... let's go and see what the food of the angels tastes like." Earl Ronan said with a nonchalant smile and walked forward.

At this moment, somewhere on the main road in the north of Ronanburg, Erica was driving the GAZ-2975-Z on the road to the north gloomily. After all, the BMP3 infantry fighting vehicle is not suitable for long-distance travel.

So when everyone left Ronenberg, they changed to the more comfortable GAZ-2975-Z.

It's just that the atmosphere in the car seemed particularly depressing. Everyone seemed to be suffering from some own reasons, which caused everyone to do their own things quietly. Apart from the roar of the engine, there was probably only one person who was giving a speech.

Liz and Puffy were loading spare magazines with bullets. As for Ruby and Thrannier, these two little guys seemed to be very tired, so they hid in Dai Dai, who was also sleeping in the back seat of the runway due to physical discomfort.

Anna was resting peacefully in her arms. As for the passenger seat with the best view, it was replaced by an Aurora. In addition, there were two other passengers in the car. One was the stone man Kana who had just returned not long ago.

, and the other one was Agnes who had hitchhiked. But the latter was sitting motionless on the seat near the back door like a stone statue at the moment. Although Kana was not as reserved as her,

But due to her racial characteristics, she was more like a sculpture, sitting motionless on her seat in a daze.

"Aren't you happy?" Aurora, who had been holding back her words all the way, finally couldn't help asking Erica.

"Of course." Erica replied, keeping her eyes straight and looking straight ahead.

"Let me guess...because of that woman?" Aurora snorted dissatisfied and said, "You must have fallen in love with that guy, right?"

Erica turned her head to look at Aurora silently this time, and then turned around and replied: "This is the first time in my life that I have taken the initiative to let go of an enemy...and this joke is not funny at all."

"Really...how do you feel?" Although Aurora's tone was calm, because the distance was so close, Erica could clearly sense that she was actually suppressing a smile.

"It sucks..." Erica casually pulled out a cigar from behind the sun visor of the driver's seat, but she didn't light it. She just took two puffs in her mouth and said, "She and I...

There is no conflict with us at the moment, but to be honest, after I go to the north, I have a feeling that I will meet her again on the battlefield... then..."

After Erica said this, she looked up at the rearview mirror. Through the rearview mirror, she noticed that Agnes seemed to have been attracted by the conversation she had just had with Aurora, so she also noticed through the rearview mirror.

Erica looked at her again, and their eyes overlapped. However, Erica didn't say anything, just smiled at her, and then sighed: "It's a waste to be an enemy... If you can

It would be nice if we captured her."

Aurora didn't express anything about this, but Erica clearly felt the other party's dissatisfaction, but this dissatisfaction was almost the same as a joke or ridicule, so Erica didn't pay attention to it.

"Stop the car ahead." Aurora slumped down and looked at the forest on the horizon in front of her. "There is a stream nearby. We can have lunch there before continuing on our way."
To be continued...
