Blood tax

Chapter 160 It's different from miscellaneous fish, and miscellaneous fish!

Griffith stood up, pointed to the Raven map and said:

"The urban area of ​​this city is not close to the sea. The urban area and villages and towns are located on open plains surrounded by hills. Several long roads connect the urban area with the seaport in the southwest, and the neighboring counties and towns in the north.

"Our current location is here, the harbor in the southwest. It faces the sea on both sides, and is surrounded by hills to the east and north. There are only a few roads leading to the city.

"Mr. Garrison Knight has already started to establish a line of defense between the port area and the urban area. The undead creatures are blocked here, and the follow-up investigation and elimination will be taken over by the troops.

"A small number of troops is enough to complete the blockade, and it is difficult for the infection to spread to the urban area. My idea is to ask the garrison knights to lead a few Extraordinary and legionnaires to rescue."

"Then where are we going?" Everyone else was very curious, and even Knight Saphirion looked over.

"Go to the city of Revan, supervise the mobilization of local armed forces by the city hall, and then form a mobile force with other Extraordinary teams," Griffith said, "There are several Extraordinary people who came with Captain Erza , we should join them and establish a front enemy headquarters and intelligence center.

"Then comes the most important job - to implement martial law and curfew throughout the city."

"Are you going to do nothing to save the survivors in the port?" Uros, Hakan and Pera asked together.

Amber was already a little familiar with Griffith's style, although he still didn't understand it, he didn't object.

Erza gave him a meaningful look: "Griffith, you are worried that we will be trapped in the rescue operation in the port area, and the cultists have other targets and plans, aren't you?"

"Yes."

Griffith nodded and said:

"Judging from the experience of Neopolis, the cultists act secretly and decisively, and the carrying and activation of sealed items are also very convenient. They even have powerful combat power, which can pose a threat to the life of a few Extraordinary. Neopolis The mage stationed in Sri Lanka was killed alone.

"I suspect that the attack on Raven Harbor was just a feint. The Deathrattle Order knows that the authorities are not that easy to deal with. And according to the information I received before, black magic believers may have already been active in the urban area. They have sealed items' Call of the Primordials', the abilities don't stop there.

"Your Excellency Valkyrie is a powerful transcendent, more powerful than a large group of siege catapults. I think it is unwise for such a powerful force to be held back at the port.

"Since we have a fairly sufficient manpower and combat power, there is no need to disperse the Extraordinary, we should gather them together, and when the cultists show their traces, a thunder strike will completely solve the problem.

"To this end, we urgently need to establish an efficient intelligence network, we need to prevent the further spread of pollution in Raven, and we need martial law and curfew."

"..." The scene was silent.

"If the troops at the port can't deal with the living corpses, what should we do? Will we come back for reinforcements?" Uros questioned, "These monsters may hide in corners and in the dark to ambush our soldiers. The more Extraordinary people, the faster they will be cleaned up." .”

"Loss is inevitable. The reason why I made this plan is based on my judgment that the enemy has another main attack direction. A strong mobile force must be concentrated as a reserve," Griffith said, "Port Raven After the blockade, if the army cannot clean up the hidden living corpses, we will invite extraordinary wizards and spellcasters to come over, and it is best to mobilize artillery to tear down the buildings one by one."

"You're here again!" Amber covered his face.

Yes, no one can stop me this time.I am now a military officer, a special investigator, and one of the people involved, which is different from before.Griffith gave Amber a firm look, emphasizing his will.

"What about the garrison knight's opinion?" Valkyrie did not express his position directly, "I heard that the garrison mage has detected traces of black magic in various urban areas or received reports, and she has sent several Extraordinary people to investigate, now How's it going?"

The garrison knight Saphirion present has been silent for a long time, and then he said: "Ms. Rihanna is a meticulous and rigorous polymath. I have known her for many years. After she received the report of black magic suspicion, she immediately launched an investigation. action.

"Our local forces have not let up in the past few days. We have mobilized the local garrison to defend against the attacks of the cult group. The pollution of black magic is controllable. I think the rescue of the survivors in the port is a top priority."

Griffith shook his head: "Your Excellency Saphirion, I think you have seen that the pollution spreads very quickly among the unprotected crowd. Take the attack just now as an example, a ship of living corpses swept across in a very short time. The entire port was destroyed, and nearly a thousand people died. This is extremely dangerous black magic pollution. We must block the intersections of the city to prevent the pollution from spreading to densely populated urban areas until we wipe out the cultists."

"It's very difficult," the knight said regretfully. "Martial law involves many issues. Trade exchanges and the lives of citizens will be greatly affected, and it will also cause huge losses."

"The loss will be even greater if there is no martial law. I remind you again to pay attention to the speed of the spread of living corpses in the port area." Griffith was a little annoyed.The longer they linger here, and the later the martial law, the greater the damage the cultists may cause.

"This requires the coordination of several departments. There are also procedures at the city hall..." Safirion said calmly, but he just didn't give a clear answer.He began to enumerate various difficulties.

Why do these people look the same everywhere?Griffith thought of the Mayor of Neopolis and Master Winston that he wrote down in his notebook.

If it weren't for these useless things, maybe I could save Iloti.

Anger, impatience, and regret swirled in his head.The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and his dissatisfaction and agitation turned into steaming hot blood, which shocked the sensitive Pella to take a step back.

Erza stood aside and watched them.Amber and the Extraordinary were stunned.It was the first time they saw someone arguing with a garrison knight like this.

Griffith raised his hand and interrupted the garrison knight's speech: "Well, we will not discuss this issue. I make a decision as a special investigator. If anyone disagrees, you can reserve your opinion. Your Excellency the garrison knight. I can do your work within your authority, and I will rush to the Mage Tower immediately."

Erza raised her eyebrows.The second-level squad leader she is familiar with can already ignore her opinion and make decisions on his own.Before she could speak, Griffith added:
"Your Excellency the garrison knights and the Extraordinary Beacons can act according to the orders you have received, but Her Excellency Erza Valkyrie must leave with me."

His tone was firm, and he stared at Erza with an irresistible aura.Miss Extraordinary tilted her head, nodded and agreed:

"Okay, everyone hears the opinion of the Reserve Assault Squadron Commander. I agree.

"Your Excellency Saphirion, the disposal and defense of the port area are entrusted to you, and the local Extraordinary is left to you. Pay attention to safety and don't rush in. Gentlemen and ladies of the beacon, follow me to the Mage Tower."

……

The north of Raven City is a stretch of hills, and there are several roads leading to the northern towns between the hills.

Griffith and the demon hunter team took a fast carriage and moved towards the north of the city, where they were going to join the garrison mage and other reinforcements.

A small contingent of city guards has gathered in front of Rihanna's mage tower.Blooming red and white roses and flat lawns surround the tower built of white stone.On the top of the pure white tower, a piece of blue crystal is slowly rotating, exuding peaceful fluctuations and a touch of coolness.

This mage's tower stands in the north of the city, only a few miles away from the city wall. It is not only the residence of Revan's mages, but also the magic and extraordinary event management center for a large area in the north.

In the next few days, the Extraordinary Commando and various Extraordinary teams will gather here to operate.

A young girl in a black and white dress was standing under the mage tower, saluting to the reinforcement team who came: "Hello, I am Rihanna's assistant and apprentice Leila, the garrison mage has been notified, please follow me I come."

Erza fell behind, she patted Griffith's shoulder armor lightly, approached his ear and asked:

"Is there anything else you haven't told everyone?"

Really sharp.

Griffith nodded slightly: "The mage garrisoned in Neopolis rebelled, and he joined the cult with the purpose of becoming an undead lich. I eliminated him and obtained Extraordinary characteristics, and there is no way to purify it. and recall memory.

"The immortality of the cult is very tempting for spellcasters, even if they become a lich. On the other hand, the Deathrattle cult has been hiding in XZ for a while, and they chose to act here. Those without local power Support is out of the question.

"This is the mage's tower, which is the location of the teleportation circle. If there is an extreme situation, this is the only way to get quick reinforcements. The leader of the local Extraordinary - the garrison mage is also here. I must grasp the situation here. Extraordinary also It is necessary to obtain the command of the local forces as soon as possible, and the front enemy committee will take over the next step."

Erza raised her eyebrows: "If I don't ask you, are you not going to tell me?"

Griffith shook his head: "I try not to create distrust between foreign Beyonders and local Beyonders. Although I do not trust local Beyonders, I still need them to complete a lot of rescue and combat missions.

"I was going to tell you when the time was right."

"Hmm, I understand," Erza patted him on the shoulder, "You mean, we should spend more time alone, sister knows!"

I'm not, I haven't, don't think about it!Griffith gave her a very serious look.

"What are you talking about there?" Amber stopped and turned to look at the two people behind.

Griffith and Erza came to her side and whispered together:

"The local Extraordinary cannot be completely trusted. (Griffith complains that I don't give him more time to be alone with me!)"

"What!" Amber was taken aback.

"What?" Erza asked with a smile, "Which one do you want to know?"
