Demon Lord

It was past noon, and Rody rode quickly to the monastery after leaving the Duke's mansion. He was about to recruit priests with his status as an auxiliary bishop after his reputation and reverence, but he found that the church was extremely empty at this time.

A monk came forward to inquire, and after Rody revealed his identity, he learned that the dean had personally rushed to the village where the plague occurred, and there were only three priests in the monastery at this time, which was far from the expected number.

Baron Rody, the bishop is expected to return in three days, and the vice-bishop of Cross will return tomorrow. He led six priests to the village of Tas, and he should be on his way back now.

Such news made Rody frown, because he had no time to wait for the other party to come back at this time.

Although I really want to solve the problem by myself, the conditions at hand are really limited: the army that Soderol has just started to build is still in Parland, and it takes three days from sending the letter to rushing over. And the team that can be organized this afternoon is only the cavalry of the two knights of the Duke's Mansion...

Waiting for a day, perhaps it is easy to say anything, but the result may be that countless lives are at stake.

Faced with such a choice, Rody didn't hesitate much, and immediately decided to continue the operation - a team of cavalry infected with the plague can be dispelled, but a city infected with the plague... But it's not that simple.

Hurrying back from the monastery, Rody walked into the duke's mansion and found that the two great knights had arrived, so he immediately assigned a task and said: Although the assassination of the undead was unsuccessful, I don't guarantee that they will have a backup, so I and The Knights of Wellington searched for the source of the plague together, and the Knights of Titus stayed behind at the Duke's Palace...

Here is the route map, Knight of Wellington, our team needs to start immediately, is ten minutes enough?

no problem.

The tall ghost knight nodded, turned around and went to organize the team, but before Rody could continue to say anything, a faint voice came from beside him: I want to follow the team too.

Rody turned his head and found that Sally was standing next to her with her luggage on her back—the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly overcame the embarrassment and said sternly, You can't go.

The monastery doesn't have enough priests, the team needs a 'ring of purification, to ensure that they are not infected, I...

Sally opened her mouth to retort, but was interrupted by Rody waving her hand: You must stay here, this matter is not negotiable, no one can guarantee whether the undead will have a second assassination, I can't make fun of your life.

He looked away and said in a deep voice: The team... will be protected by other priests, you don't have to worry about that.

After that, Rody ignored Sally, and directly explained the rest to Knight Titus: We will close the city gate as soon as we leave, and we must not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of.

clear.

Titus looked at the two of them strangely. After Rody left without looking back, he looked at Sally, and found that she was pouting and whispering, There are other priests protecting... If you leave her, you will start killing me...

Just had a quarrel with Akasha, and now she was scolded by Roddy... She rubbed her reddish eye sockets, feeling so wronged in her heart, she wished she could rush up and beat that guy up. But after trying to calm down, she still didn't chase after him willfully and asked to go together, but turned around and went back to the mansion.

Titus scratched the back of his head, and began to let his subordinates deploy defenses. This is considered a special period, so most of the servants in the mansion began to restrict their activity areas, and the only exception was John the Chief Steward. Letters were sent to the royal families of Rubens, Benjamin and Ignaz respectively.

Mike, it's time to clean the pigeon coop, the smell here is still a bit strong.

John casually reminded the servant in charge of the pigeon coop.

Yes... my lord.

The servant bowed his head and saluted respectfully, but John didn't notice the slightly weird eyes of the other party.

At the same time, Sally was stroking her back for her coughing father, and said in a low voice, Rody doesn't want me to take risks anymore, he asked me to stay in the Duke's mansion obediently, saying... that way I will be safer.

Then she added in a low voice: I'm not a child anymore, and I've never been afraid of heretics.

You... Luo Di is right, but you still blame him. The Duke of Angmar smiled, and was very familiar with his daughter's little emotions, I heard from him that you two are having trouble. It's perfectly normal to have a little conflict, as long as we can talk it out with each other in the end.

Sally blinked her eyes, her heartbeat seemed to miss a few beats, she tried her best to suppress the tension in her heart, and asked, He... what did he say?

Roddy? He said—it's all up to you.

The father's answer made Sally's heart suddenly excited: Could it be that Roddy meant...

However, you didn't consider what I said?

Sally's cheeks turned red all of a sudden, and she said in a voice like a mosquito: The things you said are forbidden by the sect.

It's just forbidden on the surface. There are many bishops with illegitimate children, and I haven't seen anyone dragged to the stake to be burned to death. Angmar said, but his expression became a little sad: In the end, it's all bishops. I did something stupid...

The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.

Not being able to see the birth of the next generation of the family is probably the biggest regret in Angmar's life. During this period of time, he always talked about Rody with Sally, apparently hoping that the two of them would resolve as soon as possible, but Sally had never responded positively to this, but holding her father's cold hands at this time, she finally felt the pain in her heart. Made a decision.

Father, the Luciferon family will never fail like this, I swear.

Time passed, and when the sun was about to set, Rody's team had already left Hollier City, and rushed towards the destination marked by him on the map.

The term pollution source is very vague, but Roddy, who has experienced the plague, knows exactly what it is and its exact location - it is undeniable that this is the advantage of his rebirth. According to the clues obtained from Duke Gema, this team may not necessarily confirm where the pollution source is for a week.

At this time, they are like precise missiles, approaching the target with the shortest route. A team of more than 50 people quickly passed through the gradually darkening forest path, raising a large cloud of smoke and dust.

Akasha, Illumination

As soon as Luo Di's voice fell, the surrounding scenery was immediately illuminated by the holy light technique. The little priest maintained the magic technique and asked nervously, Will we miss the possible target?

I know it.

Rody firmly believed that the source of the plague was beside the river at the junction of Brig Village and Tas Village, so he led the team all the way straight in, and took a short rest after entering Tas Village.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and Rody glanced at the village under the effect of Holy Light, but he was in a daze for a while:

This village...

Then he remembered that Efta hadn't been hit by severe winter, war and civil strife at this time, and the scale of Tas village was completely different from the dilapidated appearance in his memory.

When the team was drinking their horses, the scouting soldiers came to report the news: Master Luo Di, the villagers said that the priest of the Rosary Cross has come here and carried out dispersal treatment. A total of two people died in the village, and more than 100 people who were infected are already in the recovery stage...

What?

Rody's voice did not hide his surprise at all. The ten infected and nine dead in the plague was definitely not an exaggeration, but the current situation... It seems that it does not match the time at all.

But he didn't have any room for hesitation. He looked up at the Knight of Wellington next to him. Rody waved his hand to signal the team to set off, and then said: We may contact the enemy later, we have to get ready.

Cavalry, ready for battle

Wellington raised his long sword, and the knights immediately began to throw away the excess weight and began to advance side by side.

One kilometer away, the man in black who was pouring another bucket of green medicine into the river suddenly raised his head and asked his companion beside him, Hey, did you hear anything?

What's going on, are you thinking too much?

The pale pharmacist next to him looked over his head and responded: Anyway, our mission is only until noon tomorrow, and now it's dark, who else will come here?

It's true, the potion has been poured out, you go and feed those 'sheep'.

Are there enough corpses?

It doesn't matter if it's enough or not. Anyway, Mr. Wembske told us to release the 'sheep' tomorrow...After the council's plan is completed, we just need to wait and see what happens.

There was a bit of excitement in the conversation between the two, but not long after, some puzzled expressions appeared on the stiff faces of the two—

There is a real voice...

It's the sound of hooves, many people...

Turning his head and looking, in the woodland under the dim moonlight, it seemed that a mass of black shadows spread out suddenly.

And just as they were hesitating, the Holy Light Art bloomed instantly, causing the two undead pharmacists to involuntarily stretch out their hands to cover their faces.

Sect cavalry?

Damn—did these humans find out?

Go and open the fence

The cries of the two were quickly covered by the sound of rumbling horseshoes, and they were only stunned for a moment, and they rushed towards the dozens of wooden cages at the same time with more than a dozen other undead.

Under the light, all the knights who charged could clearly see everything in front of them.

Sure enough...

Rody finally let go of the heart that had been hanging all this time, and everything in front of him was the same as in memory—he could even see the backs of those undead running away in panic.

Akasha, keep the Ring of Purification at all times,

yes

The voice of the little pastor was quickly overshadowed by the deafening hoofbeats after accelerating. Rody clenched the battle ax in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared closely at the howling figure rushing out of the cage in front of him.

These enemies are not undead, they have a common name: ghouls.
