When Daenerys and Vincent rode on griffins and quickly returned to the castle of Earl Harris in Rosby, the first thing Daenerys did was to go to the Earl's study and write a few letters.

Since the wizard's general communication mark can only communicate within a certain range, this range generally does not exceed a large city, that is, within a radius of 100 miles.

Therefore, Daenerys didn't have the ability to contact Hydrasil College across the continent, let alone the royal capital directly, or the nearest undead wizard academy, the Ignis School.

There are two necessary conditions for the communication mark contact. First, the distance must be within a certain range, and there must be no interference from strong energy objects in the middle. Second, both parties must have each other's communication mark runes, otherwise, there will be no way to contact each other.

Therefore, under the current circumstances, Daenerys can only use this ancient method to convey information.

When Daenerys finished writing the two letters, she covered them with red clay and performed a trick.

The butler, the Earl of Tuxedo, who had been waiting on the side, saw that Daenerys had already written the letters. He respectfully took the two letters and immediately arranged for two peregrine falcons to deliver the messages.

The peregrine falcon is a small bird of prey with an extremely fast flying speed. Although it is not a large bird of prey or an extraordinary species, it has the advantage of extremely fast flying speed and agile dodging in the air.

Moreover, since it is a carnivorous bird, it is not as easy to be captured by natural enemies as other common birds, thus losing the letters.

However, due to their love for eating fresh meat, raising peregrine falcons is quite expensive, and ordinary knight families can hardly afford it. Only high-ranking nobles or large merchant families raise them.

As Daenerys watched the peregrine falcon rushing into the sky like a gray line, she began to arrange the second thing.

She asked Earl Harris to immediately recall the wizard apprentices and witchers sent out from various academies, and called on all wizards and wizard apprentices in Rossby County to gather in the county town.

From the signs she and Vincent had detected, the wizard apprentices and demon hunters who had come to support Tulip Town should have been killed in battle. Instead, their bodies became food for the enemy and were carried back into the deep rifts.

Although no one knows what the monsters are doing with the human corpses, it is definitely not a good thing. The corpses of wizard apprentices are obviously more precious than those of ordinary people, and more useful to the mastermind behind the scenes.

Therefore, if the wizard apprentices and witchers are not urgently recalled, it would be an act of aiding the enemy in Daenerys's view.

Moreover, judging from the situation in Goldshire Town, the wizard apprentices who had come to support the area were most likely wiped out.

Therefore, since Daenerys already knew that the opponent's strength had definitely reached the level of a formal wizard, then sending out wizard apprentices and demon hunters sporadically for support would be a stupid tactic of adding fuel to the fire, and the enemy might be hoping that she would do so.

In Daenerys's view, only by concentrating all the elite forces of Rosby County, attacking the mysterious rift directly and suddenly launching a fatal blow, can the current predicament be resolved.

Simply waiting is not advisable. After attacking seven or eight small towns, the other party may have collected enough human corpses to perform some evil rituals. In that case, it would be meaningless for her to come to Rossby City for support.

So, she chose to take the initiative. Although there were definitely risks, in Daenerys's view, the risk was still controllable.

"But if we call back all the support teams now, what should we do with these remaining towns?" Earl Harris said after a long silence.

This topic was a bit heavy. He had never expected that the petite girl in front of him would be so decisive in killing. Although she was a white wizard, her decisiveness was no less than that of a black wizard.

Intellectually speaking, although Earl Harris didn't want to admit it, he also knew that Daenerys's plan was the most suitable solution to the current dilemma.

However, from a personal point of view, the entire Rossby County is his fiefdom. He does not want so many small towns in his fiefdom to suffer heavy casualties. He hopes to have the best of both worlds.

Hearing the earl's question, Daenerys looked at Harris with her clear eyes and said, "This is a difficult decision, but if we don't do this, I'm afraid we will lose more."

After a moment of silence, Earl Harris nodded and said, "Okay, Your Highness Daenerys, I will give the order right away to summon all the wizard apprentices and witchers."

-

When Richard was riding the wildebeest and galloping towards Silverpine Town.

His mood was just like himself on the horse, jumping up and down.

Unexpectedly, one year later, he would be able to return to Silver Pine Town with the strength of a third-level wizard apprentice. This was much faster than he had expected before he left.

Although before he left, Richard considered that he would be able to improve very quickly because he had an inspiration panel, but at that time he only thought that it would be great if he could be promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice in about a year.

As a result, he didn't expect that one year later, he would already be a third-level wizard apprentice.

Of course, because he didn't want to attract too much attention, Richard did not take the promotion assessment to the third-level wizard apprentice in the Ignis School, nor did he put on the unique mark that symbolizes the third-level wizard apprentice. Instead, he used the special effects of Rodrigo's meditation method to restrain his breath and dynamically adjusted the intensity of his breath according to the actual situation.

So, Richard now looks like an ordinary wizard apprentice.

I wonder how my father, mother, and elder brother are doing, and, oh, my little maid, Selina.

Richard couldn't help but smile when he thought of Selena. He remembered how Selena was about to cry when they parted.

However, when his little maid Selina saw him suddenly come back, she must be very happy!

Thinking of this, the corners of Richard's mouth couldn't help but curl up higher.

According to the speed of the wildebeest, he would be able to reach Silver Pine Town in about half an hour. Richard was in a good mood, looking at the scenery on both sides of the road, and felt completely different.

Not far ahead, on the right side of the road, there was a lake as clear as sapphire.

The lake is not large, but is surrounded by various tall and short shrubs. A little further away from the lake grows the silver pines that the Silver Pine Forest is famous for. Each silver pines is tall and straight, with needle-like leaves that are silver-green all year round.

This lake, which is not far from Yinsong Town, was named Green Pine Lake by the residents of the town because the silver-green silver pines can be seen reflected in the clear dark green lake surface all year round, giving the lake an overall green color.

Now, in Richard's eyes, this lake named Green Pine Lake is embedded in the edge of the lush silver pine forest. This beautiful picture is like an eternal sapphire engraved in his memory, evoking his longing for his hometown and family.

However, what was strange was that there was not a single small animal, such as hares, deer and other gentle animals, that used to drink water at the edge of the Green Pine Lake. This made Richard frown.

Could it be that some ferocious beast had appeared in Silverpine Forest recently, causing even the small animals to be hunted and killed?

This shouldn't be the case!

As they got closer to Silver Pine Town, Richard, who was thinking on the back of a wildebeest, keenly smelled a hint of blood.

This immediately made his heart tremble. The smell of blood was vague, but his sensitive sense of smell would not be wrong. It must be because it was a little far away from him.

But the direction from which the smell of blood came at this moment was Yinsong Town, his hometown and the location of his family's fiefdom.

Richard raised his head, stared ahead, and frowned slightly.

As if sensing a bad premonition, Richard immediately clamped his legs around the wildebeest's abdomen, causing it to speed up.

But the closer they got to Yinsong Town, the more Richard's brows furrowed and his expression became worse and worse, because the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger.

You know, Richard has been through a lot of battles, so he quickly figured out that the smell of blood was so strong that it would take dozens of lives to make it that strong!

Immediately, Richard whipped the wildebeest hard on the buttocks!

"Whew, wow, wow!"

The wildebeest neighed loudly in pain, then immediately spread its hooves and increased its speed by 30%, and began to run at full speed!

"I hope nothing bad will happen, otherwise, no matter who it is, they will face my wrath!" Richard held the reins tightly with both hands, his heart no longer calm.

-

Yinsong Town.

Clavel Castle.

Seeing a huge mutant crab monster coming to the back door of the castle, the old baron knew that they were doing their best to deal with just one monster at the moment, and that was relying on the castle's geographical advantage and the giant crossbows they had mobilized.

At this moment, there were no extra giant crossbows or extra manpower to deal with the mutant evil demon.

If half of the defensive force at the front door is used to guard the back door, the result will most likely be that neither the front door nor the back door can be defended. At the same time, the guarding force will suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, the old baron, who was experienced in combat, thought for a moment and immediately made a decision, shouting: "Everyone, retreat to the inner castle!"

Then, dozens of guards shouted together: "Everyone retreat to the inner castle!"

Clavel Castle took hundreds of years to build and consumed a lot of manpower and material resources of the Clavel family. Although it does not have the moat and drawbridge like those hereditary earl castles, it is also a classic concentric castle.

The biggest feature of the concentric castle is that it has two circles of walls, the inner castle and the outer castle. The outer castle wall is only three meters high, but the inner castle wall is six meters high and is built entirely with strips of stone.

Therefore, although the inner castle area is much smaller, the inner castle is a level higher in solidity than the outer castle. At the same time, it is also the last line of defense of the Clavel family.

If they can hold on, there is a deep well and a cellar in the inner castle area. The cellar stores food such as wheat, bacon, pickled fish, and dried radish that can feed at least a thousand people for half a year. The old baron is still confident that he can hold on until the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Heron arrive!

After hearing the old baron's order, the Clavel family guards, Silverpine Town Security Team, and some strong young men from Silverpine Town who were originally defending on the city wall began to retreat to the inner castle, while the guards stationed at the outer castle gate began to retreat through the tunnels between the outer and inner castles.

Led by Levi and Knight Rawlins, the guards fought and retreated, crossing the temporary wooden bridge on the outer castle wall, killing small monsters while retreating to the inner castle wall. Under the cover of archers and large crossbows on the four D-shaped towers at the inner castle corners, the guards retreated to the inner castle wall after only losing a small number of personnel.

So, when the mutant crab demon's claws knocked hard on the door of the outer fortress, what appeared before its eyes was another solid castle.

This immediately made it very angry, and it started roaring loudly.

Now, it must break through another gate before it can capture this area.

But during the battle just now, several pieces of its solid shell had been broken by a heavy crossbow, which made it a little hesitant. But thinking about the request of its master behind it, the mutant crab demon raised its pair of powerful claws and began to attack the inner castle gate.

Seeing this scene, the old baron on the strong wall of the inner castle shouted: "Throw rolling stones! Prepare kerosene!"

Suddenly, dozens of huge round stones were pushed out by the guards from the high battlements of the inner castle wall. With the help of gravity, they smashed heavily on the besieging monsters.

The smaller monsters were crowded together at the foot of the city wall. Although they saw the huge rocks falling, they could not dodge and were immediately smashed into meat paste!

Although the mutant crab demon smashed several boulders with its giant claws, it was still repelled by other boulders. After all, its sturdy shell was not invincible, and it was still very difficult to resist the boulders weighing hundreds of pounds.

The old baron thought for a moment, then quickly turned his head and shouted to Levi who was shooting arrows, "Child! Go with Lord Duan immediately to find your mother and children. Hurry to the third floor of the inner castle cellar and rush to Rossby City through the secret passage."

"Father, please let me stay and fight with you!" Levi immediately rejected the old baron's request when he heard it.

Having been educated as a knight in his family since childhood, he is not afraid of sacrifice. On the contrary, in Levi's view, this act of deserting the battlefield is tantamount to betrayal!

"No, child, your battlefield is still behind, and the road to Rossby City is not unobstructed. You and Lord Duan are going to escort women and children to Rossby City. This will be a difficult task. Are you a coward and unwilling to take on this responsibility?"

The tone of the old baron's last sentence was extremely high!

Facing his furious father, Levi stammered twice, but in the end he said nothing!

Yes, fighting to the death against a powerful enemy is a kind of bravery, but daring to take on difficult tasks is another kind of bravery.

Escort the women and children, these children are the hope for the future of Silver Pine Town. With them, Silver Pine Town will surely be rebuilt in the future. As long as the children can arrive at Rossby City safely, even if the guards die in battle, they will definitely be willing to see their children escape!

But to be honest, Levi himself had no confidence that he could lead these unarmed and powerless women and children to break through the blockade of monsters along the way and arrive safely at Rossby City!

But because of this, it means that what his father said is correct. This is a difficult task and has great significance. If I don't dare, I am a coward!

After thinking it through, Levi immediately calmed down and said, "Father, I will definitely live up to your trust!"

The old baron nodded with satisfaction, patted Levi's thick shoulders, and said: "Hurry up and retreat immediately. We will help you attract the attention of the monster army, so that your evacuation will be much easier! Go quickly, and call Lord Duan to join you!"

"Remember to thank Lord Duan for his efforts on behalf of our Clavel family!"

"Well!" After taking a last look at the old baron, Levi rushed to the inner castle square without looking back and began to organize the children and some women to enter the cellar.

"Pour kerosene! Throw torches!" Knight Rawlins shouted.

The huge rolling stone attack just now caused great damage to the monsters, but the number of rolling stones was limited. After they were all used up, the monsters quickly surrounded them again.

Especially the mutant crab demon, which was huge in size and had just suffered a lot, and was caused considerable damage by the rolling stones, which made it extremely angry. When it saw that the rolling stones on the human city wall were exhausted, it roared loudly and launched a fierce attack on the inner castle gate again.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

As the kerosene was poured, a large number of small monsters at the foot of the city wall were now covered in thick kerosene.

But they don't know what these things are yet, and just think that humans' "water pouring" attacks are meaningless.

But the next second, they knew what was on their bodies!

"boom!"

As dozens of torches were thrown, the kerosene on the bodies of the monsters under the city wall was ignited. In an instant, the monsters' wails were heard everywhere, including the mutant crab monster, which had always been extremely powerful, and was now screaming and squeaking from the burns.

I don't know how many small monsters died under the trampling of their companions.

The area surrounding the mutant crab monster was like mud, filled with the corpses of monsters that had been trampled to death by it!

Suddenly, everyone defending on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief! It seemed that this wave of monster attacks had been resisted.

The old baron was also a little more calm. It seemed that the possibility of holding on to the inner castle and waiting for the reinforcements from the kingdom had greatly increased!

However, at this moment, the archer at the top of the tower suddenly changed his expression and shouted to the old baron: "Lord Baron, look over there!"

In the western sky, a large dark cloud was seen flying towards us at a very fast speed, and it was estimated that it would soon arrive over Clavel Castle.

"Oh no! It's a flying monster!" The old baron was horrified and couldn't help but shout. At the same time, he immediately turned around and shouted to the inner castle square on the city wall: "Hide quickly! There is a flying monster!"

"Quick! Enter the tower!" The old baron made a decision immediately, and dozens of guards shouted in unison: "Enter the tower!"

He didn't expect that his side would be forced to defend only four towers so soon. The opponent even had flying monsters to cooperate in the attack. If he continued to defend on the inner castle wall, the flying monsters' dive attacks would quickly cause heavy casualties to his guards.

But if we give up the defense on the city wall now, it would be like drinking poison to quench thirst.

Because once the two mutant crab monsters break through the gate of the inner castle and all kinds of monsters pour in like a tide, there will be no food or fresh water, and the defensive forces divided into four towers will be eliminated one by one, and what will be left for them is definitely a situation of defeat.

But the old baron considered that if he died later, he could continue to contain the army of monsters and reduce the risk for the evacuated children and Levi.

However, at this time in the center of the inner castle, although the children of Silver Pine Town had been taken to the castle cellar by Levi and Duan, there were still hundreds of women and elderly people who had not had time to hide.

As a large black mass of flying monsters arrived over Clavel Castle, under the command of several extremely unpleasant weird screams.

Suddenly, hundreds of blood vultures, led by more than a dozen human-faced demon birds, began to launch a dive attack, slaughtering the unarmed humans in the inner castle square!

From time to time, an old man was pierced by the blood vulture's sharp claws, and with the flapping of its wings with a wingspan of three or four meters, the old man would be picked up high up, brought into the air and then thrown down heavily. With a series of desperate screams, a human being died.

In less than five minutes, less than 30% of the people in the Inner Castle Square were able to escape, and most of them were slaughtered.

The guards and young men who were defending the four towers tried several times to rush out to rescue, but after several attempts, they were unable to break through the blockade of the aerial monsters. Even if they managed to rush to the inner castle square, they were unable to carry out rescue.

Therefore, they could only roar and use the bows and arrows in their hands to cover the crowd fleeing in the square from the flank.

At this time, the gate of the inner castle was also breached, and two mutant crab demons, covered in wounds, led a large number of small monsters to break through the last line of defense of the Clavier family, which had been operating for more than a hundred years.

——At

this time, Richard had already reached the last hillside. As long as he climbed over this hillside, he could see Silver Pine Town.

But when Richard rode the wildebeest to the top of the hill, what came into view was the billowing smoke, the ruined Clavel Castle under siege by monsters, and the ruins of Silverpine Town.

The shouts of humans were almost inaudible. Richard knew best what this meant.

Richard couldn't help but be shocked, and his eyes went dark!

Could it be that his family members had already...

Suddenly, Richard was furious!

He had only one thought in his mind, which was to kill all the monsters in front of him.

Richard immediately waved the mutant summoning staff, and an abomination nearly three meters tall was summoned out, striding towards the group of monsters that besieged the Clavel family castle.

Richard himself quickly took off the griffin wings on his back, activated the secret rapid-fire technique, and attacked the monster in front of him.

Although the special effects of the Griffin Wings have been used up today, this top-level witchcraft prop is very powerful in itself. Coupled with Richard's archery skills that have reached the ultimate level, the arrows shot out are as fast as lightning, as if he is holding a Gatling machine gun.

The sound of "swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" breaking through the air was endless, and the monsters around Richard began to be killed in large numbers.

As Richard was heading towards his family castle, the army of monsters melted instantly to create a path, just like ice cubes soaked in hot water.

It was not until Richard rushed to the foot of the family's outer castle that he realized that although the outer castle had been breached, he could still clearly see intermittent arrows being shot out from the four inner castle towers, fighting back against the monsters.

This made him feel like crying for joy.

There is still resistance in the family castle, he should still have time!
