Edkin took a deep breath first, and then a heavy expression appeared on his bitter face.

Because he knew that the shadow of death was coming, which would probably be a huge disaster. If he could not take timely measures and carry out effective defense, the prospering Neverwinter City would surely suffer a devastating blow. That was

He definitely doesn't want to see it.

"..."

So, Edkin, who was bowing his head in thought, slowly sat back in his seat. His eyes began to stare at the table and he racked his brains to think of ways and countermeasures. He just let the sun elf stand in front of him listlessly.

The Neverwinter guards in front of and around them began to discuss quietly and nervously.

"etc!"

"I have a question!"

At this time, Holgai, who was standing aside, ignored the reactions of the frightened Neverwinter guards around him. He just walked straight to the sun elf mage and asked in a cold voice:

"How did you escape from Leilong Town?"

"besides!"

"If you escaped from Leilong Town, you would have passed through the Junction Fortress, right?"

"But why haven't we received any warning from that intersection fortress yet?"

"at last!"

"The guards who just came to report said that they saw you coming out of the Neverwinter Forest to the west?"

Yes, although Holgay almost believed what the other party said, she still had her doubts and had to figure this out.

"This lord!"

"Do you know why all my teammates died?"

Hearing that Holgai doubted him, even though he didn't know Holgai's position, the sun elf mage still asked with a wry smile.

"certainly!"

"As you just said, they were all killed by the undead and the red-robed wizard."

Holgay didn't know why the other party asked that, but anyway, as a barbarian who never liked to use her brain, she naturally slumped her shoulders and replied so straightforwardly.

"No……"

"Mainly because we only have one teleportation scroll, and only I, the mage, can use it..."

"If that scroll hadn't teleported me to the forest outside Neverwinter City, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me now."

"Believe me……"

"At noon or afternoon tomorrow at most, I think you will get the alarm from the intersection fortress, right?"

"That small fortress cannot resist the red-robed wizard and those terrifying undead!"

"not to mention……"

"They also have black dragons?"

Having said this, the sun elf mage smiled sadly and bitterly, not paying much attention to Holgai's questioning and questioning of him.

"All right!"

"I'm fine!"

With slumped shoulders, Holgay patted the sun elf on the shoulder to express comfort, then turned around angrily and walked aside and looked at Edkin who was sitting in his seat.

"..."

Of course Edkin also heard it, but he still didn't speak, but his face became darker and his brows furrowed deeper.

"No need to wait for tomorrow!"

At this time, following a familiar voice, the dark-faced Chief Warlock Simon of Neverwinter strode in with a very ugly expression.

The dusty man completely ignored the surprised expressions on the faces of the guards and the sun elf mage. He walked forward quickly and gritted his teeth and said to Edkin, who stood up in shock again:

"The intersection fortress has fallen!"

"I only escaped with a few dozen knights!"

"Half a day ago!"

"The black dragon and the red robe wizard attacked there!"

"If it weren't for the 'Spell Breaking Helmet' and the 'Teleporting Scepter', I would definitely be dead!"

"Edkin!"

"Call the troops and militia, we don't have time!"

Simon said with a livid face and gritted teeth, staring at Edkin with bright eyes.

They escaped from the fortress and galloped on horseback, running non-stop for several hours to get here. Although the undead were slower, Simon felt that the other party would definitely not have much time left for Neverwinter.

Maybe it’s only one day or two days, or even shorter?

"..."

But this time, Edkin, who looked solemn, did not hesitate anymore.

"Well!"

"I will call in the troops immediately."

"Holgai!"

"Go, find Annie as soon as possible and tell her the situation!"

Then, Edkin looked directly at Holgai and gave instructions.

"clear!"

Holgai didn't hesitate, turned around and left. Although she herself didn't know where the troublesome little girl Queen from Neverwinter City was playing, but the matter was urgent, so she just had to look for it first.

"alright."

"Don't worry too much. Trust us. We are capable of protecting Neverwinter, no matter what the cost?"

"You need a break, Gareth."

"Go, I will send someone to take care of your injuries."

Then, Edkin paused, and then ordered the two Neverwinter guards to take the seriously injured Sun Elf mage Gareth down to rest and heal his wounds, and then looked at Simon and asked:

"Simon!"

"Where's Doric?"

"besides!"

"Where's Hunk and Fat Orange's dragon?"

"Did you see them?"

Before preparing to gather an army to fight against the red-robed wizard, the black dragon and the army of death, Edkin of course did not forget to ask for news about those two important companions.

"I have no idea!"

"I didn't see her!"

"I only saw the undead and the red-robed wizard attacking the intersection fortress, and then we escaped in a hurry!"

"I don't know anything else!!"

Perhaps because he was worried about Doric, or perhaps because he was worried about the upcoming situation, Simon looked extremely irritable, so much so that he roared hysterically?

"All right……"

"Dear Simon, you need to rest now too."

Sighing in his heart, Edkin wisely stopped asking any more questions, just patted Simon on the shoulder and comforted:

"I will send people along the main highway to keep an eye on the enemy's incoming attacks. As for you, you can go back to your residence to rest now."

"do not think too much!"

"I think Doric and the others will be fine!"

As he said that, although Edkin himself didn't quite believe what he said, he still had to bite the bullet and try to comfort him.

"Feel sorry!"

"Edkin, I feel a little confused..."

"forget it. I'm done here."

"If Doric and the others come back, remember to send someone to notify me. I will go and take a rest first."

Simon opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he nodded in frustration, turned around and strode out of the meeting hall.

"..."

Seeing Simon leaving, until he walked out of the door and disappeared around the corner of the castle corridor, Edkin sighed softly and walked back to his desk, sat down on a chair and began to think deeply.
