Chapter Seventy-Five: The Situation in the Imperial Capital (2)

Orlando looked at the man dressed as a civilian. Suddenly he asked, "You're Donald, aren't you?"

Donald gasped a few times, adjusted his breathing, and then said: "Lord Luke, General Orlando, six days ago, Sunrise City was raided by orcs, and the city lord was killed on the spot, I was ordered to break through, and when I left, the orcs had already attacked the dock area!"

"Ahh

Donald's face was terrified when he asked about the scene, even though six full days had passed, the shock of the orc's rampaging chariot had not diminished in the slightest, and Donald trembled as he recalled the scene.

The comrades-in-arms around him were crushed by the fast-moving chariot and turned into bloody mud, even if they dodged the attack from the front, they could not escape the sharp blade on the side of the chariot, and in their ears were the painful wails of those comrades who were stopped by the chariot blade, and in front of them were splashes of blood.

A human warrior struggled to pounce on the orc chariot from a high place, but his actions were completely futile, and before the human warrior's body could fall on the chariot, it was split by an orc on the chariot with a huge battle axe, and the blood stained the earth red, and then flowed into the blue sea, and Sunrise City was completely shrouded in blood red.

Donald ran desperately with a few of his subordinates, and behind them were hundreds of orcs riding on the wolf, although these orcs could not release arrows, but at a distance of tens of meters, they threw spears more powerfully, and the arrows did not necessarily die, but they could be pierced by short spears, even ordinary round shields could not be stopped, and they would definitely penetrate and fall to the ground.

Perhaps the god of luck favored Donald, who finally escaped the pursuit of the orc wolf cavalry, but he was left alone. Donald traveled day and night, and finally arrived in the imperial capital.

After listening to Donald's narration, Orlando saluted him with a knightly salute and said, "Thank you for your efforts, go and rest now, everything is with me!" Donald heard this, his spirit was relieved, and he collapsed softly, Orlando hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and found that Donald had fallen asleep.

Orlando handed Donald to the two royal guards and motioned for them to help Donald to rest, and then Orlando took out a map, frowning and calculating the route and time of the orcs, after all, the news that Donald brought was six days ago.

Luke sat in a chair next to him, his eyes looking at Orlando, but a thought suddenly crossed his mind. Luke was startled by this thought, and his body trembled a little, but then Luke controlled his every move and tried to act as if he were nothing, but in Luke's mind, he began to make simple plans around this thought.

Soon, Luke came up with a complete plan, and he thought about the whole plan from beginning to end, and found that there were no major problems, and it could be implemented immediately. Orlando didn't notice what Luke was thinking now, he looked at the map carefully for a long time, absolutely his own time was running out, if the orcs went south without resting, they should have entered the area of Fernando City at this moment, and they had to take measures.

Thinking of this, Orlando said decisively: "Luke, there is no time, you must act immediately!"

Luke also knew that time was urgent, but he put on a look that had nothing to do with me, and said lightly: "I'm just a deposed civilian now, and I don't have the courage to issue these orders, you can do it!"

Orlando said: "Now is not the time to shirk responsibility, Luke, according to the laws of the Empire, if His Majesty the King is unable to handle state affairs for some special reason, then I, as the head of the Royal Knights and the supreme military governor of the imperial capital, have the right to order a state of emergency, and get through this difficult situation first!"

What Luke wanted was Orlando's words, and he nodded after listening to it and said, "I understand, I will fully support you!"

"Okay!" Orlando said decisively, "Immediately summon the officials of the Imperial Authority and above, and the officers of the army commander and above to the Golden Council Hall, and convene an emergency meeting in one hour to carry out wartime mobilization, and those who fail to do so will be dismissed on the spot." Luke, you're in charge of the officer's notice, I'll go inform the officer!"

"Well, most of the officials are in the Royal Council Chambers anyway, but you're going to have to work a little harder. ”

Orlando nodded, with a murderous look on his face, pushed open the door and strode out. Luke smiled, Orlando's departure was just the right time for him to carry out the plan he had just envisioned, and with the hearts of those officials, Luke was more than 90% sure of his plan.

Ryan shook his head helplessly with a frustrated look on his face. He has been looking in the imperial capital for two whole days, but unfortunately Bart did not explain the location of the tailor shop to him in detail before, only knowing that it is in the commercial area, and there are twenty shops here that meet Bart's description, not to mention that the imperial capital was in chaos some time ago, and many shops were not open at all, which made Ryan think hard.

Faras comforted: "Ryan, if you can't do it, you can continue to come tomorrow, it's not early now, it's better to go back early." ”

Ryan shook his head slightly and said, "Let's look for it again, there are a few more in front." ”

Alendor patted Ryan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, we'll be with you." Bart isn't just your friend. ”

"Ryan, if you want me to say, why don't you go back first. Franner suddenly spoke: "With the strength of the four of us, it is too difficult to find one person in this city with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, I have a good solution." ”

"Ah, you have a way? Don't say it sooner!" Ryan was overjoyed, grabbed Franner's hand and kept shaking: "Say it, say it!"

"The power of an individual is very small, but the power of tens of thousands of people is not the same combined," Flanner said. I remember that Faraz's father was Luke, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the head of the Royal Knights was General Orlando, right?

"You say"

"As long as they say a word, they can immediately use a large number of people to help us investigate. For example, if we find a young girl who works in a tailor's shop, according to the management method of Paradise of Freedom, these tailor shops will have records, we only need to get these records, and then arrange for the number of people to come to each house to inquire carefully, find a similar girl and run in person, isn't it much better than burying your head in the middle of now?"

"That's right!" Farath clapped her hands and said, "That's it, Ryan, let's go back, I'll look for my father in the evening, he will definitely help with this favor, and I'll pestering him to agree." ”

Ryan looked at the excitement on Faras's face, and a tenderness arose in his heart, Faras was no better than herself, she had already lost her strength when she was in Thor's Fortress, and she had not fully recovered her magic power until now, but even so, Faras didn't say a word, silently accompanied herself to find Bart's fiancΓ©e, and was able to get such a girl to accompany her for life, what regrets are there?

Ryan suddenly stretched out his hand and held Faraz's small hand tightly, the latter blushed and whispered shyly, "I hate it, everyone is watching us." ”

"What are you afraid of!" Flanner interjected, "Elendo, you block that side, I'll block this side, you two go on, don't worry, no one can see it!"

"Nasty!" Faras shook off Ryan's hand and turned away shyly, who smirked and didn't know what to say. Xiaobai spun around Flanner's side, wagging his tail, not knowing why Ryan was flushed, but unfortunately no one paid attention to it.

There was a rush of people, a large crowd of people crowded over, and Allendo patted Ryan lightly, who immediately came to his senses and grabbed Faraz and walked towards the nearby shop. Alendor and Franner followed closely behind and walked into the shop, avoiding the dense crowd.

The four people stood at the door of the shop and looked outside, and found that these people were all dressed in civilian clothes, basically everyone was carrying a package, and these people were men, women, old and young, and they looked like they had fled from the family.

Ryan and Allendo glanced at each other, and saw a puzzled look in each other's eyes, and Ryan was about to ask Flanna, but heard a man say, "Hey, these people from outside the city are hiding in, and if they continue like this, even the central square will not be able to live." ”

The four of them turned their heads together and saw a man about forty years old standing beside them, with a worried look on his face. Ryan asked, "Excuse me, what's the matter with these people?" The man said, "I heard that the Northern Thor's fortress has been breached, so sooner or later the orcs will come here, these people are people who live on farms, ranches, or manors outside the city, and their masters have fled into the city, and they have followed." ”

"Ah, hasn't the empire yet mobilized for wartime, and it should be deployed by the army at this time!" Faras, who was more familiar with the laws in this area, asked, "Why is it all so messy, what about the farm outside the city?

"Hmph! Wartime mobilization?" the man sneered and said, "That group of officials and lords are arguing about who will be the king, they can't remember that there are millions of civilians outside the city, let alone what food to consider, anyway, the situation is critical, they can naturally use the teleportation magic array to escape to Sea Breeze City, and when they get there, they still live a leisurely life?"

"I see, I see. Ryan nodded and said, "May I ask who you are?"

The man's face changed slightly, but after looking Ryan and the others up and down, he felt that Ryan and the others did not look like secret agents, so he bluntly said: "My name is Larry, and I am the owner of this antique shop." ”
