Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 391 Turn the tide
"Help! Help! Anyone who receives this message must come to rescue the city of Ravendale. An unspeakable wave of corpses has broken out here. The dead have been resurrected to become undead monsters. My people are being slaughtered. See In the name of the gods, please come and save us! Signed by Zoe Egg, dated one day ago."

Stannis read the general content of the letter, and no one sitting in front of him made a sound. Except for Charlie, everyone else had experienced the tragedy of "Gomorrah" last time, and the whole city was turned into a scythe In the slaughterhouse of monsters, the living are devoured by the dead, and they are resurrected again and become monsters to devour their relatives. They thought that the tragic scene would never happen, but now there is no doubt that the same tragedy is repeated on this land .

"Boss, are you going to do this?" After a long time, Robert broke the silence.

Stannis didn't know what to do. Ravendale is the largest city in the principality, and there are 5 to 10 people living in it. If it is true that the entire city has been occupied by corpses as written in the letter, it means that they To face the same number of scythe monsters, this is more than the combined army of the entire principality!
"As the most prosperous city in the Principality of Tanis, how could there be a god seal there? Could it be that someone with ulterior motives secretly transported the god seal to the city?" Stannis suspected that there was some terrible conspiracy behind this sudden incident, and decided to It's better not to go in this muddy water.

"Your Excellency, there are tens of thousands of people waiting to be rescued!" Xiaona's heart overflowed.

Sure enough, Stannis' conscience as a human being really prevented him from leaving him alone. You must know that there were at least 5 lives there!

"By the way, has Ser Egg, who is still in the south, received her letter?"

Xiaona shook her head resolutely, "Probably not, these ravens are flying without a target, and they shouldn't be able to fly that far."

"Damn it!" Stannis smashed the table with his hand. Since Egg hasn't received the letter yet, he doesn't know the news that his city is being slaughtered and will continue to attack him!I am now undoubtedly in a dilemma of repelling.

But after only a moment of hesitation, the surprisingly calm Stannis had already figured out a countermeasure.

"Xiaona, immediately send a letter to Sir Egg explaining what happened here, and send this distress letter along with it. I believe he won't chase us after seeing this letter."

Robert's eyes widened when he heard it, expressing his confusion, "Pursuit? What do you mean!"

"Give up Drehem, and everyone return to Qiweini!" Stannis finally made up his mind to hand over the central city that he took at a great price.

"Boss, you are crazy! The city that we took so much blood to capture has been given up again, so why did we attack her then?" Others, including Randall, expressed their objections. Only Hillier knew how determined he was to issue this order.

Stannis showed his arrogance as a king, and ordered forcefully: "I have made up my mind, don't talk anymore, remember to take everything with you when you withdraw from this city, don't leave a piece of bread or a grain of salt to the enemy!" Come down!"

Randall wanted to say something more to express his objection, but Hillier also said, "You all heard it, just do as His Majesty wants."

Stannis knew that he had violated his original intention by not promoting a democratic style, but now is an extraordinary time, and he can only use an iron fist instead of letting time pass in endless arguments.

"Hillier, after you safely withdraw to the territory with your people, immediately come to meet me in an airship. Remember to pick the most elite fighters and bring them with you, and bring Anya to me."

"Boss, what do you mean?" Although he already knew the answer, Robert didn't expect that this guy would really be so stupid as to die.

Stannis had already stood up, put the sword into the scabbard, "Everyone who has the guts will come with me to rescue Ravendale!"

Three days later, in order to snatch the credit, Sir Rudol under Garcia rushed into the undefended city of Drehem with 2000 troops, but there was no one there, although the Duke declared that they had won a big victory and severely damaged the rebels. army, but in fact they found that what they captured was only an empty city, and all the weapons and food in the warehouse had been emptied, except for the two bags of potatoes placed at the gate of the city. .

While Garcia's army was busy robbing the citizens to vent their anger, Stannis had already led his elite squad northward along the river. Although there were only a dozen of his cronies and more than 30 knights who came voluntarily, Stannis still Confident that he can save some people as much as possible, and that Hillier will come back to support after taking people back, Stannis is even more confident.

But the current situation is often much worse than he expected. On the way to Rivendale, Stannis has encountered a large number of refugees. They are all farmers around Rivendale. Because of the plague, all of them fled with their families.

After asking all the way, no one can tell what happened in the city, as if no survivors escaped.

"Could it be possible that the 5 people there have turned into that horrible monster!"

Robert had already started to shiver. It took only three days from the eruption to their arrival. The largest city in the north-central part of Tanis was already submerged by the tide of corpses. How could this not be scary.

"Don't talk about those useless things! We'll find out when we get to the city." Stannis still didn't back down, he firmly believed that there must be someone alive there.

That afternoon, they finally came to the territory of Ravendale, but instead of going directly into the city, they camped on the hillside in the distance and looked out.The originally bustling city has become dead silent. There are no pedestrians on the bustling roads, no one is guarding the city gate, and no one is guarding the city wall. It seems that the people in this city have disappeared.

"This is not a good sign." Stannis decided to send someone in to investigate first, and Robert was the best candidate.

But as soon as Robert heard his thoughts, he jumped up angrily, "No, boss, you let me go if you knew it was an act of death! There are all kinds of monsters in here, and I was swallowed alive as soon as I went in." Okay, I won't go, I won't go, whoever wants to go will go!"

Just when Stannis was about to threaten with force, he found a knight with scars all over his body rushing towards him. Judging from the family emblem on his body, he was undoubtedly a member of the Egg family.
