    "Young Master, this is the information sent by Freddy." Outside Ferelden City, Raymond was watching the last batch of refugees leave the city towards Rodia City. Bastet walked up to him and handed him a  Letter.  Since Raymond led his army to support Ferelden, Freddy has sent letters regularly to report to him the latest situation in Headington, Gaspard and other places.  Fortunately, everything has been peaceful since Raymond left.  As for Gaspard, after Leonard led his army back to the country, Duke Charles probably realized that the situation was over and became completely honest. There was no fighting on the border between the two places.  This made Raymond regret once again. If he had known better, he would have asked Makurdi or Bryce to come with him, and there wouldn't be no one available like now.  While taking the letter, Raymond said: "Freddy said, did the intelligence network installed in the Ravit Federation have any results?" Bastet shook her head with a blank look on her face: "Meow, I don't know, maybe  It's written in the letter." Raymond patted her head in a funny way and opened the envelope casually.  Since the war with the Necromancer Guild, Raymond has asked Freddy to mobilize his intelligence network in the LaVite Federation to find out the whereabouts of Emil and investigate the current situation within LaVite.  But unfortunately, since the Necromancer has completely controlled Lavitt, based on the other party's strict organization, Freddy's spies cannot penetrate at all, so they can only get some information of little value.  Freddie was also extremely angry about this, and it was said that he scolded those poor spies almost every day.  This time when he got Freddy¡¯s letter again, Raymond thought it was just the same as the previous times, just a routine report.  Unexpectedly, when he opened it, he knew something was unusual.  At the beginning of the letter, Freddy said as usual that everything was safe in the rear. After the return of Falak City, he was also very honest. The crystal mine has resumed work and is expected to bring large profits to Headington.  Then he said that he had begun to make great efforts to extend the intelligence network to the Kingdom of Dirk and monitor Leonard's war for the throne. After all, that was Headington's biggest threat.  But what really moved Raymond was something Freddie mentioned at the end of the letter.  Freddy wrote in the letter that according to the news spread from the pirates, not long ago, Cooley and Catalina led their respective fleets to a decisive battle, and were attacked by the Ravit Federation.  The pirates were wiped out, Cooley was killed in battle, and Catalina took his place as Pirate King.  At present, Catalina has returned to Antiva Island and is rectifying the remaining pirates, and her subsequent movements are unknown.  Seeing this, Raymond couldn't help but sigh with emotion.  He remembered that when leaving Headington, Caterina was invited by Gregor to go back and have a final battle with Cooley. Unexpectedly, not long after, the pirates fell into the hands of the Necromancer and Cooley died in the battle.  Fortunately, Catalina is safe, but it can be imagined that her life will be very difficult in the future.  Freddy warned at the end of the letter that the Necromancer had formed a powerful fleet in the name of the Lavitt Federation, and with the help of sea dragons, there was no force on the sea that could compete with them. Headington  Already in an extremely dangerous situation.  After putting down the letter, Raymond was in a daze for a moment.  The situation is now very clear. The Krot Empire has too much time to take care of itself. The Kingdom of Dirk is caught in a struggle for the throne. The Gordan Grassland is too far away and has been beaten to a semi-crippling state. The Kingdom of Gaspard is not even a concern.  The entire continent of Veronica is in chaos. Only the Ferelden Alliance and Headington are slightly more stable, but their strength is also the worst.  The Necromancer Guild chose this time to raise its troops, which was absolutely the best time.  As long as the Ferelden Alliance is occupied, Headington will completely lose its eastern barrier and be directly exposed to the threat of the Necromancer.  Then they only need to advance by sea and land, and they can easily capture Headington.  By then, the Necromancer Guild can not only restore the old territory of the Lavit Federation, but also continue to extend its tentacles to the weak Gaspard Kingdom. Once it occupies the most central position on the entire continent, no one can stop it.  They are.  Raymond originally thought that it was a very unwise act for the Necromancer to attack Ferelden and put himself in the spotlight.  Who knew that the other party was not only extremely ambitious, but also judged the situation very accurately. This could be said to be a strategy with perfect timing.  What's even more frightening is that they have increased their strength to such a terrifying level without everyone knowing.  "Thinking before taking action is definitely not a group of monsters that only know how to hide in the dark as people imagined before.  For a moment, Raymond even felt that he had no solution to the current situation.  If there is no room to regain the situation on land now, and Headington still has a trump card to deal with Hailong, otherwise Raymond really doesn¡¯t know what to do in the next battle.?.  "Young MasterYoung Master!" Just when Raymond was filled with emotions, Bastet's voice woke him up.  "Young master, look, there is a strange crow there." Bast pointed at the city wall and said.  Raymond raised his head and saw a crow sitting in front of Thor on the city wall behind him.  Bastet put up the awning with her hands and looked around as she said, "That crow seems to be holding something in its mouthoh, it's a rolled up note." Sure enough, Thor grabbed the crow and fiddled with it for a while.  Opened a note and read it.  Raymond quickly concluded that it must be the Necromancer who sent a message to Thor.  "Whatever you are afraid of will come," he couldn't help but think.  ***************************************************  **************** Raymond¡¯s guess was indeed correct. He and Bastet went up to the city wall, where Thor was walking around with a troubled expression.  Seeing Raymond walking over, he raised the note in his hand: "Those guys finally have news." "What does it say?" Raymond asked.  Thor did not shy away and handed the note over: "You can read it yourself." Raymond nodded, took the note, and said at the same time: "Haddington also sent a letter, and our situation is very bad now.  "Oh?" Saul was startled and took the letter from Raymond's hand and read it.  Raymond unfolded the note. The message on it was very simple.  Thor is asked to go to a village west of Ferelden City within three days to discuss with the Necromancer about redeeming Emir.  Of course, as expected, the other party asked Saul to go alone and not bring any troops, otherwise the emir would definitely risk his life.  Over there, Saul also finished reading the letter sent by Freddy.  He took a breath: "Awesome, Cliff's hands are really sharp. I think he is more suitable for the necromancer profession than being a lord." Cliff was Deneke before he became a necromancer.  Due to the previous origin, Saul is still used to calling him by this old name.  "What are you going to do?" Saul flicked the letter in his hand.  Raymond said: "I didn't expect that the power of the Necromancer would grow so fast. Now I can only walk on foot. First, save Ferelden, defeat their army on land, and then find a way to deal with the ones in the sea." "  Well, that's all we can do." Thor nodded.  He then patted Raymond on the shoulder: "But don't worry, these guys look scary, but compared to 20 years ago, they are not even one-third of the size then. We will definitely win."  He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Of course he didn't know how powerful the Necromancer was 20 years ago.  Just the sight of it in front of me is enough to give me a headache.  Then he asked Saul: "Are you really planning to go?" Saul said without hesitation: "It goes without saying, otherwise, why would I come all the way here." He secretly thought that although this man was careless, he was really treating his subordinates.  Needless to say, Raymond was also a little worried at the same time: "Since they have pointed out the location, they must have made complete preparations. I'm afraid it will be very dangerous." "Don't worry." Saul said indifferently: "With Chip and  Kress is following, and no one can do anything to me." After listening to Sol's words, both Chip and Kress remained silent, obviously acquiescing.  This is not arrogance, but the certainty brought by strong confidence in their own strength. It is obvious that both of them have absolute confidence and can protect Thor under any circumstances.  Raymond had seen the abilities of the two of them with his own eyes and knew that what Sol said was true.  However, for some reason, he always had an indelible premonition of danger in his heart. I'm afraid this matter will not be simple.  Therefore, this makes Raymond always worried.  ¡°Actually speaking, he has nothing to do with Sol.  The other party was just the boss behind a chamber of commerce that he cooperated with. Even though the Lovell Chamber of Commerce had a lot of debts to Headington, Raymond rushed to the Mojina continent to rescue Thor, and the favor he owed was settled.  But for some reason, Raymond couldn't treat Thor as a stranger.  Although he didn't want to admit it, deep down, he always felt that there seemed to be a deeper relationship between the two.  This feeling is not a conjecture, but more like a message conveyed from his blood and from the depths of his soul.  ¡°Perhaps it was the friendship we forged during the days when we shared hardships on the Mojina Continent For this, Raymond could only explain this.  Now that he heard that Thor was about to step into the trap set by the Necromancer, Raymond couldn't rest assured.  There seemed to be a voice in his heart that kept saying that he must do something!  Saul didn¡¯t know that there was a war between heaven and man in Raymond¡¯s heart.He returned Freddy's letter to Raymond: "Then, let's break up here. I believe you can kill those lingering guys." After saying that, he and Chip Kress turned around and left.  go.  "Wait a minute!" Raymond suddenly shouted.  Thor turned his head strangely: "Is there anything else?" After hesitating for a moment, Raymond gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind: "I'll go with you." "What" Thor was stunned, and then lost his voice: "  What did you say!?"    ********************************************  ********************** "Lord Raymond, are you serious?" Not long after, when I heard that Raymond planned to go to rescue Emil with Thor,  , everyone was shocked.  Thorz said in confusion: "The undead army is about to attack, and we still need you to lead the troops to fight against them. Why do you want to leave at this time?" Although he did not explain what he meant, Thorz meant  Everyone understands: The war in Ferelden is the most important thing at the moment. Isn¡¯t it nonsense that you left your post without permission?  Sirness also said: "Lord Raymond, if you leave, who will lead the army?" "No need to say it, I have already decided." Raymond said firmly: "After I leave, you and Harlot will lead the army."  Troops, you just need to follow the plan you made before. "What if the enemy comes during this period?" Thorz was still worried.  Raymond said: "Hermi will dispatch them when the time comes. He is an excellent commander and will not give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of him." Now Raymond has become the well-deserved backbone of both coalition forces. If he is not there, once  In the event of an emergency, the consequences will be disastrous.  Seeing this scene, Thor also advised: "Raymon, I accept your wishes, but we obviously need you more here. Don't worry, those guys can't do anything to me, you should stay." However, Raymond's thoughts have changed.  Decided, he said: "Mr. Saul, you don't need to say any more. I have a hunch that the other party will definitely have a plan this time and will not let you get away easily." As he said, he pointed to Saul's pocket: "Don't  Forget, as long as I am here, you can use the monsters in the summoning book. That is truly foolproof." He said to Thorz and others: "Don't worry, the Necromancer will not come while we are away.  "Come to attack." "Why are you so sure?" Helmi couldn't help but ask.  Raymond explained: "In order to deal with Mr. Saul, the Necromancer will probably use all his strength, and Denek and others will definitely be present. Without these high-level Necromancers, the other party will definitely not risk attacking Ferelden City, so here  During this period, the undead army will definitely stand still. " "Besides, all the people in Ferelden City have already withdrawn to Rodia. Whether we are holding on or retreating, we have a lot of room for movement, so we don't have to worry too much."  What he said does make sense. After suffering the last big loss, the Necromancer must have realized his own weaknesses.  Without the command of senior necromancers such as Denek, the other party would never rashly launch a new war.  "Moreover, even if the Necromancer really comes, without the burden of the common people, the coalition forces can still fight them. Whether they fight or leave, they have a huge choice.  However, this obviously still cannot dispel the doubts of Thorz and others. Although they do not say it, it can be seen that they do not want Raymond to leave.  Seeing this scene, Sol pulled Qi aside and whispered anxiously: "It's over, it's over, does this kid know something? Why do you insist on coming with me?" At this time, he could only follow Qi.  We discussed this with Pu, the only knowledgeable person.  Chip said: "I don't think so. However, the bloodline of family ties cannot be completely isolated. The eldest young master must have been affected by bloodline unknowingly." "Ah, what should we do?" Thor was dumbfounded: "  What happened this time is very dangerous. I feel very sorry for that boy. How can I let him take risks with me again? "" After a moment of silence, Chip said slowly: "No, I also think that the young master should go with you."  As he said, with him, you can use the summoned beasts in Kuimak's suicide note, which will undoubtedly greatly ensure your safety.  " Thor's face changed slightly: "So, you also" Chip nodded: "Yes, I also think this time is very dangerous.  Cliff hates you so much that he won't let this chance go.  Although Kress and I are confident in protecting you, don't forget that there is also an emir, so letting the eldest young master go with us is the safest way.  " "This" Thor hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Well, it seems that this is the only way.  ¡±   Then, he said to Chip: "Also, you better not call him eldest son. If you call him like that, it will only make me feel sorry for him." Judging from the time of birth, Raymond is undoubtedly Thor's eldest son.  , there is nothing wrong with Chip calling him that.  But unfortunately, he is just an illegitimate son. According to the rules of this era, he cannot have any power in the Lovell Territory. On the contrary, he must be pushed aside to avoid threatening the inheritance rights of the real eldest son Ron.  This makes Sol, who has not fulfilled his father's responsibilities since he was a child, feel even more guilty.  "Yes, I understand." After hearing Sol's words, Chip lowered his head in agreement.  Afterwards, the two walked back.  Sol smiled bitterly and said to Raymond: "It seems that it's useless what I say, so let's go together." "It's nothing, this is all of my own free will." Raymond said with a smile.  At this time, Holder came over: "Although I don't know what happened, I am willing to do my best. I believe my swordsmanship will be useful." Holder can be said to be the strongest swordsman on this continent.  , it is certainly good to go with him.  However, the Necromancer has stated that he is not allowed to bring too many people with him. If he irritates the other party, it will be troublesome.  Besides, with Holder¡¯s swordsmanship, staying here is a strong guarantee.  Raymond declined his request politely, and Moslin also said: "Mr. Holder, Mr. Goodwin's condition is not very good. It would be better for you to stay here." Holder was happy and did not  He persisted and expressed his willingness to stay and protect Ferelden.  Here, Lorna also walked to Kress: "Master, please let me go with you." Kress was startled, why did he forget this girl.  But this is obviously impossible, not to mention Lorna's lack of strength, they are not going on an outing this time, how can they keep adding people.  He had no choice but to say to Lorna: "Uh I, Chip and Raymond are over there, enough to handle any situation. You just need to stay here." "Are you no longer willing to teach me any more?" Lorna asked.  She raised her beautiful eyes and glanced at him faintly.  Kress was the worst at dealing with women and children, but the matter was urgent and there was no time to explain. He had no choice but to say with a straight face: "If I ask you to stay, just stay. Don't talk nonsense!" "Yes." Lorna looked at her.  There was a flash, but he still bowed his head obediently.  "Tsk, tsk." Thor tskted twice and quietly gave Kress a thumbs up.  What else could Kress do?  He could only be speechless and deeply regretted that he had been soft-hearted and accepted Lorna as his apprentice. Now, just dealing with this relationship is exhausting for him.  But no matter what, things were finally settled.  Later, Raymond told Sirnis and others some things he should pay attention to after leaving, and then left Ferelden with Bast and Thor.  ***************************************************  **************** Afterwards, a group of five people headed towards the village requested by the Necromancer.  Along the way, all the villages and farmland along the way were deserted. There was no human habitation. Burnt houses and destroyed buildings were everywhere. There were not even a few livestock in sight. This shows the destruction of the Ferelden Alliance by the undead army.  So big.  "If this continues, even if we drive away the undead, it will be difficult to restore vitality here." Thor couldn't help but sigh.  The Ferelden Town Alliance was originally a country composed of many small and medium-sized towns united together. It is similar to the Lavit Federation. It has a loose structure and is very weak. Except for the two large cities of Ferelden and Rodia, a large number of people are scattered throughout the country.  towns.  This time the undead army invaded, both business and agriculture were destroyed.  Coupled with the large number of casualties among the people, even after defeating the undead, it may be difficult to recover.  Of course, these are all problems that Thorz will have to worry about after victory.  After a day¡¯s trek, they arrived at the designated location the next afternoon.   Bastet jumped down from the tree and said to Raymond and others who were waiting below: "Young Master, I found nothing." The village in the distance stood beside a winding river. In the afternoon,  It was quiet under the sun.  The village is surrounded by empty wilderness. Except for a shadow flying in mid-air looking for food, nothing can be seen nearby.  "This is strange. Didn't the other party ambush the undead troops?" Kress pondered.  "Did you see clearly?" Raymond asked.  Bastet affirmed and said: "Meow, of course, I can guarantee that there is nothing unusual outside the village." Cat people are natural scouts with excellent eyesight. They are even better than Kip in long-distance detection.  Not on.  Bastet is one of the best??, she said that if she didn't find it, then there must be no enemy troops outside the village.  Thor touched his chin and said: "It seems that they are very confident. They are all waiting for me in the village." This is not a good thing. It shows that the necromancer has more powerful means than the undead waiting for Thor.  Looking up at the sky, Chip said in a deep voice: "Lord, do you want to wait until tomorrow to go?" Thor shook his head: "No, since we are here, there is no need to be timid. Let's go there now." "Understood."  "Okay." Chip nodded, then turned to Bast and said, "Then as planned, you stay outside to take care of it." "Don't worry," Bast said, "Leave it to me for now."  The enemy's condition was unknown, so after discussion, several people decided that Bast would stay outside and respond to everyone immediately if something unusual was discovered. This was also the safest approach at the moment.  Following, Raymond and Sol walked towards the distant village.  Almost at the same time, another thing was happening in a house in the village.  This is an ordinary farmhouse with simple furnishings. At this time, the house is messy and debris is scattered everywhere, showing the owner's haste when he fled here.  In the center of the room, there was a small round table, and two people were sitting at the table, facing each other.  (To be continued.)
