Chapter 18 The Emerging Chaos

Hearing the voice of agreement, the door was gently pushed open a thin slit before it opened with a squeak.

Behind the door was a firefly in a black robe. The young maid came with light steps. She held the tea tray and looked up at the center of the conference room, then said respectfully: "Master."

"Ah, it's really time to come."

Standing up from the conference table, Joshua didn't feel thirsty when he was thinking before, but now, when he saw the cup of hot black tea, he realized that he had not drunk water for a whole morning and his throat suddenly became a little dry.

"Good job." He took the tea and took a sip. A warm feeling penetrated his stomach. The soldier was not stingy with compliments. He also noticed the girl's new outfit and praised her casually: "Your new clothes are also very beautiful, why did you suddenly think of changing clothes today?"

"Yes...is it..."

Joshua didn't notice Ying's unnatural blushing, and his eyes turned to the back of the door: "Gentlemen, don't stay outside the door. What I'm talking about is that you come in together, why are you doing outside the door?"

"It's rude."

After hearing this sentence, the three people led by Zorgen walked into the conference room.

"Master Earl." The two soldiers gave a knight salute, while the white-haired mage Feng just bent over slightly.

Zorgen, who had just recovered from serious injury, walked ahead. His face was a little thin and pale, but it seemed that the knight had roughly recovered his ability to move normally. You should know that he was a little limping when he first left the house, but now he can go up and down stairs and walk normally. It has to be said that the silver warrior's recovery is indeed strong and has gradually transcended the scope of mortals.

As the garrison commander of the Black Forest Fortress, the blonde knight's position is half a level higher than that of Kili and Feng. If he wants to report anything important to the lord, he can only be the candidate.

"What's important about the three of you coming together?"

After taking a sip of tea, Joshua asked in confusion.

Now Black Forest Fortress is still rebuilding and repairing the collapsed city wall. In addition to Zorgen, who was seriously injured before, Kili and Feng should be in charge of the on-site command and supervising the project. How could there be time to come to him? Could it be that there is really something important?

"Sir, these urgent letters have been sent from the communication array. We think you should learn about this immediately and bring it, but since we did not check its content, we don't know how important it is."

"Show me first."

Zorgen walked forward, took out several envelopes from his arms and handed them to Joshua. The warrior did not hesitate. At the same time as he got it, he immediately opened a letter and took out the letter.

"Demonized paper... This is an emergency manuscript sent by reprinting the message!"

The moment he touched the letter, Joshua knew that this was indeed very important information.

The so-called messaging replication is actually a technology similar to fax. Through the magic resonance of the communication array, the letters at one end of the communication array are completely copied to the blank magic paper on the other end. Although the principle is not very complicated, the magic consumption will increase dramatically due to the lengthening of the distance, which is expensive. If it is not necessary, no one will use this technology.

After roughly sensing it, Joshua was surprised to find that the three letters in his hand were actually made of magic paper.

"Three emergency communications were sent at the same time. What's going on today."

After amazement, the warrior understood why all three of them came together, but now it is not the time to think about such things. He just looked at the contents seriously and said nothing.

In the conference room, the black-haired and red-eyed lord frowned and looked carefully at the letter in his hand. The silver-haired maid stood beside him, lowering her head and silently, while the three fortress chiefs looked serious, as if they were thinking about something very important.

"call."

After a while, Joshua breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and put the first letter aside, shook his head and said, "The first letter is good news."

“What good news?”

This time, Kiley asked a question, and his voice was still a little muffled because of the isolation of his helmet: "If it is good news, there should be no need to use such an urgent communication method."

This can be regarded as an old habit of a half-elf warrior. He didn't deliberately question anything, but just simply proposed unreasonable things.

"This is a letter from the dwarves."

Faced with this half-elf warrior who taught him martial arts when he was a child, Joshua has always respected him and also knew the other party's speech style. He replied seriously: "The rune dwarves in the Lava Lake learned about the Demon Tide. Their big casting is ready to help us with a batch of supplies and arrow weapons free of charge in terms of friendship over the years."

"Originally they planned to let the Xin and the convoy set off together, but later they felt that this was too slow, so they simply used the communication array to repeat the communication. You must know that there is no shortage of magic in the lava lake."

Speaking of this, he picked up the letter paper aside and scanned the letter from the dwarf: "Originally, they planned to send a team of people to help us build the new city wall, but because the winter weather is really not suitable for dwarf activities, they had to give up, but instead switched to a batch of special construction materials."

"That's a pity."

Upon hearing this, Feng, who was standing aside, couldn't help but murmur: "The dwarves' forging and construction abilities are indeed the best in the mainland. If they have their help, the new city wall will definitely be stronger, at least it will not be knocked down by the mammoth beast in a few strokes."

"That's force majeure. The original city wall also had the blessing of the plant roots of elves. Ordinary siege cars could not even smash the surface. But the crazy golden monster is a super monster that cannot be measured by common sense... Anyway, it's good to have a batch of material assistance."

Joshua didn't continue to struggle. He picked up the second letter and quickly opened it.

"Letter from Alfonso?"

When he glanced over and saw the signature, the soldier was stunned. Unexpectedly, the letter was sent by the merchant Alfonso. Then, he became more interested and looked at the letter in his hand with interest.

The message in the letter is very simple.

More than ten days ago, after receiving the letter of recommendation from Joshua, the merchant immediately set off and entered the area where the dwarves lived. I don’t know what methods he actually obtained the authentic use rights of the dwarves.

Now, Alfonso and his caravan have passed the tunnel, bypassing the blocked levels and the crazy black forest beasts on land, and quickly arrived in a big city in the central area of ​​the empire, and have begun to look for the special strange things that Joshua said.

"I have found the magic book that is very similar to what I said, but since it is in the hands of a certain noble, I cannot buy it for the time being. I can only wait for whether he will send it to the spring auction in the imperial capital this year."

He murmured to himself, Joshua thought for a while, then nodded with satisfaction: "No matter what, this efficiency is really good. Originally, I just tried my best. Now it seems that I might be able to successfully change the fate of Ares Fortress."

There is still the last letter left.

Joshua looked up at the three people with serious expressions, and he felt that this last letter was the top priority.

Pick up the violet envelope, covered with the bright red crescent stamp, and the person who signed it was Vildanny Scarlett.

"Scaret of Moldova?"

Of course, the warrior knew that this family, like him, was the four border benefactors in the Northland, and Scarlett was marked by the bright red crescent moon.

In fact, among the four northern leaders, there are enemies who are ill-intentioned to the Radcliffe family like the Wilson family, and there are also acquaintances and even friends who have been communicating with letters for hundreds of years.

Although they may not be kind in their hearts now, they have at least a friendship left by their past relationships with their ancestors. The countess of the Scarlett family is such an existence for Joshua.

[To the Lord of Moldavia, the successor of the Radcliffe family, Joshua Radcliffe holding the Sword of Cold Iron]

...

Throughout the article, this letter can be summarized into a few sentences.

Accompanied by the cold wind and snow coming from the extreme north sea, this time the beast tide of the snow mufuhai was extraordinary and fierce. Under the impact of a crazy cycle, the countess of the Scarlett family, the first-level golden mage, could no longer hold on. In the crisis, they had to ask for help.

Seeing this, Joshua couldn't help but frown.

Although his tone did not mean begging, anyone could see the anxiety between the words. This was completely different from the proud Scarlett family in his memory. Is the beast tide really so terrifying that the Moldovan lord, with a strong golden man, was almost unable to hold on?

Indeed, it is possible. Joshua couldn't help but recall the recent abnormal movements in the Black Forest.

Logically speaking, even if the beast tide collapsed, there would not be no one in the wild beast. However, when the soldiers were out patrolling a few days ago, they really did not see even half of the monsters in the forest. There was only the slowly falling white snow in the black forest, as quiet as death.

The monster was not dead, so it must have gone to other places. It was not in Moldavia, nor had it ever heard of a black tide in other places. In addition, the route of the black erosion dragon inferred by Joshua based on the magic map, it is very likely that all the monsters in the nearby Black Forest rushed to Moldova in minutes... If this is the case, it would be really unlucky.

No, if this is true, it will not be just unlucky, but only as misfortune.

There is a second page for the letter.

[If it is just a simple beast tide, it is not impossible to hold on, but some new strange monsters seem to have been nurtured in the depths of the Black Forest. They are not afraid of magic or fighting spirit. Only pure physical attacks can break them.

After these monsters die, they will turn into black smoke and disappear, as if they are not flesh and blood at all. Moreover, their unique abilities are too powerful and difficult to deal with. This is the reason why we cannot persist.

Although there are competition and conspiracy among the four leaders of the Northland, it is not the time to talk about these things. My friends, if Moldova is broken, and this group of beasts that cannot be filled after eating all the flesh and blood, where will this thirst tide go? So, even for yourself, please lend a helping hand. In the name of the Red Crescent of Destiny, the Scarlett family will not treat any of their friends unfairly.

——You are faithful, Villdanny Scarlett

Seeing this direct and refreshing sentence and extremely familiar description, a monster's shadow appeared in Joshua's mind.

Until the end, he saw the monster image drawn with ink under the envelope.

This is a vicious monster that is completely different from ordinary monsters, and seems to be completely a vicious monster from another world.

Joshua's pupils shrank and he said in shock:
Chapter completed!
