Ryan's Sword

Chapter 263 No.80 The Bishop Appears in Act Two
above the ground.

Since the arrival of a large number of adventurers accepting the bounty mission, the Ring of Devouring in the dark seems to have started to die down, restraining its minions.The enemy suddenly chose to stand still, the deep meaning of which is still unknown, but the city guards in Buson Town were really relieved.

You must know that their defense range is not just a town, nearby villages and noble manors also need them to send manpower to patrol and protect.For the southern garrison, which has not seen gunpowder all year round, it is already a bit stretched to maintain the defensive front, and any battle damage may lead to the collapse of the entire front.

Therefore, the biggest wish of Sergeant Major Hopeton of Busson Town is to be able to persevere, not to seek meritorious service, but to be innocent.As for the extermination of the gang of cultists who colluded with the Necromancer?He never considered this option.

Due to the mutual restraint of the two sides, the confrontation on the surface disappeared for the time being, but the battle preparations in Buson Town still did not stop.In addition to welcoming and inspecting the adventurers who came to report, the city guards in the town mixed with the adventurers into a patrol team every day, went out to investigate and patrol, and brought nearby villagers who were unable to protect themselves back to the town for unified resettlement.

If more lives can be saved before the enemy launches a general attack, even if they fail to take down the Ring of Devouring, it will be a great achievement in the future.

Although Hopton's idea was good, the plan could not keep up with the changes after all.Before his full-scale contraction strategy took effect, he received a bad news from the patrol team returning to the city.

"What, the [-]rd Patrol is missing in Brallier! What's going on?!"

The young city guard immediately stood up straight with a shout that was almost a roar, not even daring to wipe off the spittle that had been sprayed all over his face.

"Soldier, report the specific situation you have detected, now! Immediately!"

"Yes, my lord..."

The young city guard soldier was already stuttering to report under the staring eyes of the supreme officer. Before he finished speaking, Hopeton's face was covered with dark clouds, and he was so scared that he almost lost his military posture.

"Okay, let's go out first after the report." Before Hopeton's anger broke out, the adjutant Levins waved away the frightened little soldier first, sighed, and persuaded: "Calm down, things have already happened, you No matter how angry you are, nothing can be undone."

"Of course I know!" Hopeton's face changed, and he sighed after a while, saying: "Why do I want to get angry again? But the current situation..."

Both of them looked at each other with wry smiles.This time the Ring of Devouring came suddenly, and the Louisburg garrison responded quickly. Before the enemy wreaked havoc, they took over the defense of several major towns, avoiding the occurrence of large-scale evil events such as massacres and sacrifices.

However, lacking high-level combat power to make a final decision, the city guards had no good way to deal with the devouring ring assassination team.Otherwise, the military would not spend a lot of money to attract adventurers to assist in the defense.

The disappearance of a whole patrol team is no small matter at any time.Now facing the Necromancer, a group of notorious evil spellcasters among the enemies, the whereabouts of the Missing Patrol can be imagined.

"Okay, it's useless for the two of us to think about it here." Hopton slapped the table hard and cheered up: "Fortunately, many adventurers have come in these two days, and the strength of these adventurers is not weak. , especially in small-scale encounters in the wild, the combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of ordinary fighters." Having said that, he looked at his adjutant and said, "That's it, go and gather the new adventurers later, Mixed into existing patrols and dispatched."

"Understood, but..." Levins nodded, frowning, and hesitation appeared in his expression, "But, what about the defense in the city? You know, our manpower has always been a big problem. "

"There are enough people in the city. Besides..." Hopeton shook his head, "If we don't do this, what do you think will happen if our patrol team encounters those damn cultists again?"

"Okay, I'll arrange it now."

Levins nodded solemnly, and immediately got up and left in a hurry.

The city guards stepped up their time to deploy their personnel, and almost at the same time, two figures in black robes suddenly appeared on a distant mountain outside Busen Town.

The height difference between the two standing side by side is almost the same, but the difference in appearance is indistinguishable.Standing on the left is a person holding a gray-brown long-handled wooden staff. His exposed skin is as haggard as bark, but under his gray-haired head is an old face full of ravines.

The other man in a black robe who was also wearing the same clothes was much younger. He looked to be in his twenties. He had long hair that was neatly arranged in a shawl, and his fair skin was so transparent in the sun that even the subcutaneous blood vessels could He could see clearly, his eyes were clear, the bridge of his nose was straight, and a few golden and white silk patterns were exposed under the neckline of the black robe. It was obvious that he was wearing high-class clothes that only the rich and noble could afford.

"This is what you said, the city where the plan is about to be implemented?" The handsome, almost seductive young man asked with frivolous brows, as if with great interest.His voice is not loud, but it is extremely magnetic and penetrating. Even the howling mountain wind seems to calm down for three minutes when he speaks, showing the forceful aura only of those in high positions in the plainness.

"As you can see, Your Excellency." The old man in the black robe had already bowed respectfully when the young man spoke, and replied immediately at this moment: "We have sent the most talented If everything goes well, it will be launched as soon as tonight." While speaking, his voice couldn't help but get a little excited, as long as the plan is implemented smoothly, then the necromancers participating in the battle One party can obtain a large amount of corpse material, which is also an important reason why they will unite with the ring of devouring.

Of course, the loot will be distributed after these lunatics complete the sacrificial ceremony.

"Oh? I can hear it. You are very confident, Mr. Julio," the young man held a wicked smile on his lips, and his deep eyes were fixed on the town of Busson, which was the size of a matchbox, from a distance. Now that you have made arrangements, I will wait one more night, and I believe you will give my lord a satisfactory answer."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Excellency Rommel!" The necromancer named Julio grinned and said, "We are always the most professional in matters related to corpses."

"Then, I'll just wait for your good news."

"It is my honour, sir."

A cloud happened to cover the bright sun, even if the sky was a little dark, Rommel's figure had suddenly disappeared in place.

After a long time, Julio, who had been in a stooped posture, finally stood up straight again with his long staff, and while wiping the sweat all over his head, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally gone..."

With a stiff expression on his face, Julio waved his staff lightly, and casually summoned a cloud of black wind to support his body, cursing inwardly: "Damn it, next time there is such a task, you can't agree to it, even if you go to serve it!" The Lord of Skeletons is better than accompanying this silver-ranked lunatic!"
