I have a Synthesizer

After Deword finished recounting the situation in Lesath from the Skull Society to the Fireblade Cult, he adjusted his mood and looked at Hawkins.

"Lesath had just finished the battle to clear out the Skull Society, and there was really no way to muster enough combat power, so the mayor requested your support."

Hawkins naturally took over the conversation.

"Don't worry, Captain Deword, clearing out the Fireblade Cult is something that Royal Academy students should do anyway.

Compared to fighting on the front lines, this kind of mission is already very friendly."

Mentioning the front lines, everyone fell silent, whether it was the Beastmen War or the border war with Grandok.

The battlefield is a true harvester of professionals. Although the mortality rate for inland missions is high, it is still acceptable.

But the battlefield is different. The Royal Academy students' death rate of over 40% or even 50% is basically due to battlefield deaths.

Deword didn't answer, just raised the sword in his hand and continued forward.

The other academy students, each with a thoughtful expression, followed.

Klein, sitting behind Lilith, felt very awkward. In all his years, both past and present, he had never been so close to a girl.

Although he really wanted to control his emotions, his little brother still betrayed him shamefully.

With his chest pressed against Lilith's back, Klein's breathing became heavier than before, and his mood was particularly irritable.

Lilith naturally felt Klein's abnormality, but compared to Klein's embarrassment, Lilith remained calm.

She turned her head slightly and said calmly.

"Calm down, Klein. If you're like this, you won't be able to make calm judgments during a battle."

Lilith's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on his head, calming Klein down.

The next action was to attack the Fireblade Cult's stronghold. This was not child's play, and Klein felt somewhat embarrassed by his performance.

"Um, sorry, Lilith."

Lilith didn't say anything, her face still wearing a calm expression, but she was secretly laughing in her heart.

"Hmph, newbie!"

......

Galloping on horseback, the group quickly arrived at the eastern outskirts of the city. After going deeper for a while, everyone dismounted on the spot to resupply.

Klein stood aside somewhat awkwardly, while Lilith also had a hint of blush on her face.

It seemed that the close friction on horseback was not without feeling. She subtly tugged at her pants, but the specific reason was unclear.

As the only logistics personnel in this team, Klein had to make clean water and food for 40 people and 40 horses.

Many of them were warriors, and the food demand for warriors and horses was very high. It took Klein a lot of effort to knead bread and water by himself.

Before he could rest for a while after kneading the water and bread, Deword had already stood up.

"Let's go, the movement of the horses is too loud in this section ahead, we have to walk."

Deword walked at the very front, while the others followed behind him.

Klein looked at the remaining bread in his hand.

"Damn it! Being an arcanist is really not a job for humans."

......

The road was very peaceful, until they reached the vicinity of the Fireblade Cult's cave, Klein remembered something was wrong. He had been too focused on Lilith just now, and thus ignored many things.

One very important and obvious problem was that Deword was too familiar with the route here.

Klein suddenly grabbed Lilith and said in a low voice.

"He's too familiar with this place."

Lilith tilted her head.

"You mean, he knows this place? He said he had an informant, so it's normal to know this place, right?"

Klein frowned. Lilith's statement didn't seem to have any problems.

Lilith guessed Klein's worries.

"You can rest assured about combat power. Even if the Fireblade Cult's combat power is five times greater, I am confident that I can safely bring you back."

Looking at the confident Lilith, Klein felt that her eyes were shining. His thought at this time was, when can I naturally boast such a big statement?

With combat power guaranteed, safety can be stabilized, and the event triggered by the synthesizer can be successfully completed.

"Let's follow and see, but before that, let's find a chance to remind Hawkins and the others."

The exchange between the two was naturally seen by other interested people, and the one who paid the most attention to the two was Becky.

"The mission is about to start, and they're still being lovey-dovey, truly shameless."

Becky spat and walked behind the two.

......

At this time, there was only one Fireblade Cult guard at the entrance of the cave, kneeling devoutly on the ground, worshipping towards the cave.

"Only one guard?" Hawkins frowned.

"This is their sacrificial action. They may be performing a sacrifice. We have to go in quickly, otherwise, many of the civilians they captured will die."

Deword said anxiously.

Hawkins nodded and turned to the hunter Jeremy and said.

"Jeremy, can you snipe that guard?"

"No problem."

Jeremy bent his bow, nocked an arrow, and "Swoosh!" The sharp arrow pierced his heart, killing the Fireblade Cultist at the door on the spot.

Klein looked at the hunter, whose arms were ridiculously strong, his chest muscles and back were very bulging, while his legs were relatively thin, making him seem somewhat asymmetrical with his body.

"What an amazing shot."

"Charge in with me and rescue those captured civilians."

As soon as Jeremy killed the guard, Deword held his sword in one hand, pointed to the entrance of the Fireblade Cult, and took the lead in rushing up.

Hawkins on the side wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Thirty veterans had already followed Deword down.

"Boss, what do we do now?"

Not only Bruer, but the others were also looking at Hawkins.

Hawkins hesitated. He felt that Deword's performance was a bit strange.

"Let's follow along first. Their emotions are too excited now, I'm afraid we can't persuade them, it will only make things worse, and we can't let them go to their deaths in vain."

The academy students nodded one after another and began to follow in an orderly manner. Klein and Lilith followed at the end, while Becky was in front of them.

At this time, Lilith spoke.

"Should I go and inform Hawkins and the others now?"

Klein looked at Becky behind him. "There's a better candidate."

"A better candidate?"

Lilith frowned. Following Klein's gaze, Lilith found that Becky was staring at them.

"A better candidate? Is he talking about me? What are they talking about?" Becky was a little strange.

The negotiation with Becky was left to Lilith, after all, they were both from the Knight Department, although their relationship wasn't great.

"Captain Deword is too familiar with this place? Is it possible that he is from the Fireblade Cult? Impossible, right?"

"We're not sure either, we just want you to remind Hawkins to try to stay calm and not fall into a trap."

After hearing Lilith's words, Becky was a little incredulous, but thinking about it carefully, Lilith didn't seem to have any reason to lie to her.

She thought for a while, then quickly got up and accelerated, quickly passing through the crowd and came to Hawkins' side.

Just as she was about to say something, Becky found that Deword was right next to Hawkins.

And from the depths of the cave, some wailing sounds could already be faintly heard.

"We have to go in and save them as soon as possible. Can't you hear their wails?"

Deword said very eagerly, Hawkins could only try his best to explain to the impatient Deword.

"Captain Deword, I know you're very anxious, but we should formulate some battle plans, we know nothing about the situation inside."
