King Hermann has been particularly upset recently because Bernanto and his troops were completely wiped out.
In particular, a large number of airships were destroyed, and the remaining ones fell into Ren's hands, which made him even more angry and anxious.
I can't figure it out, how could a humble little kid from the Hobo family make such a big fuss? Is it true that he has become a subordinate of the Demon King and is supported by the Demon King's army, as rumored outside?
This is the most likely statement. Otherwise, how can we explain it?
Although the resurrection of the Demon King affected the entire Western Continent, more than two hundred human countries immediately took action and immediately sent out troops to conquer. The major light camp churches also began to take action. They would never allow the Demon King and his men to conquer the world, but Camelback City still
Before it could be recaptured, the terrifying power displayed by Rennes' army made King Hermann very worried.
It is certain that all human countries will work together to achieve final victory, but in this process, what price will the Kingdom of Herman have to pay?
Bernanto and the dozens of captured generals around him were all important figures in the Kingdom of Herman, and were involved in many powerful noble forces in the country.
On the other hand, with so many airships controlled by Renne, there is also the problem of technology leakage.
If possible, the king would like to unite the army to immediately retake Camelback City, break into the World of Warcraft Forest, rescue Bernanto and others, and snatch back the airship.
However, with the current number of airships, it is impossible to organize another air raid, especially after the complete defeat of the army led by Bernanto, they dare not take risks here.
Apart from the problems here, Bernanto always pays attention to the news about the Demon King.
Because the Demon King's resurrection was too sudden, even though the brave Julius was still alive, he was already a gray-haired old man and had not appeared in public for decades. It was unknown what his physical condition was and whether he could exert the full power of his youth.
There are also very few heroes left, and we don’t know if the next generation of heroes has appeared or been trained.
If the brave man cannot defeat the Demon King, can humans really block the attack of the Demon King's army?
The king was troubled when suddenly an official came in and reported: "Your Majesty! Matthew Traunis is back!"
"What?!" After hearing this, King Herman quickly asked, "Where are the people?"
"It's at the castle gate, on its way here." the official replied.
"Where are the others?" the king asked hurriedly, after all, so many people were captured.
The official replied respectfully: "Matthew is the only one who came back!"
Previously, the Thieves Guild sent master Claude to rescue people but failed. Even Claude was captured. Warcraft City is by no means simple. How did Matthew escape?
The king and the civil and military officials in the palace hall looked at each other, puzzled.
After a while, Matthew actually appeared, limping into the hall, and heard crying before anyone arrived. When everyone saw his embarrassed appearance, there were many wounds on his body, and he was covered in mud. If they hadn't recognized that face,
I thought some lowly poor people were intruding.
"Your Majesty——!!" Matthew entered the hall, went straight to the king and knelt down, his nose bursting with tears, and he cried quite exaggeratedly.
He was holding a package in his hand, which was full of clothes.
Matthew's appearance appeared in front of them, which confused everyone.
Prime Minister Kilke quickly asked him: "Matthew, weren't you captured with Bernanto? Why did you escape alone? What's in the baggage?"
"Yes! What's going on?" the king also asked.
Other civil and military officials were all focused on Matthew, equally curious, waiting for his answer.
Matthew raised his head and looked pitifully: "Your Majesty! Ryan Hooper is too cruel. He doesn't treat us as human beings! We are tortured every day and suffer unspeakably! Malcolm, Malcolm even more
He threw him directly from the airship and threw him to death! We gritted our teeth. No matter how much torture we had during this period of time, Ryan Hopper still did not get what he wanted. He did not let him get any important military information about Hermann.
! Poor General Bernanto and other colleagues who only had one breath left. The evil Ren couldn't get any useful information from us, so he used an airship to take me to the border and forced me to take the information from the generals.
I'll take off my clothes and come back to see you, and let me hand this over to you!"
Seeing Matthew take out a bloody notebook from the bag, the king couldn't help but frown: "Show it to me!"
"Yes!" Matthew stood up, delivered the book and the baggage to the king, and returned to his seat.
The king opened the blood-stained book and was filled with anger when he saw the contents inside. He opened the bag again and took out the military uniforms of Bernanto and his men. They were all bloody and had many holes. They looked like they had been tortured.
traces left behind.
"Rampant! Absolutely rampant!" His anger could not be restrained and he couldn't help but roar, "I will hire the strongest adventurer to get back the head of Ryan Hooper!"
"Your Majesty, what is written in the book?" Prime Minister Kilke asked curiously.
"The kid from the Hobo family is so bold that he dares to ask me for a ransom in exchange for Bernanto and the others!" The king was so angry that his chest kept heaving.
Kilke took the book and glanced at it, but he was calmer than the king: "Your Majesty, don't be impulsive! Even Claude failed, how could he hire the strongest adventurer to assassinate Ryan Hooper? Not to mention General Bernanto and a few others.
Ten generals are in his hands. If they are killed, it will be a loss that Herman cannot afford!"
The prime minister spoke, and the king's mood finally stabilized. He looked at Matthew and asked seriously: "Matthew, why did the kid from the Hobo family choose to let you come back to deliver the message after Malcolm was killed?"
"Your Majesty," Matthew quickly replied, showing the wounds on his body, "I was tortured by him every day over there, and suffered more than other colleagues. The devil tortured me almost every day, beating me until my skin and flesh were torn, so I had to be cured.
You have no idea how I survived for such a long time! If other colleagues had not offered themselves a very high ransom price in order to survive, that devil would never have let me come back. The reason why I was able to return safely is
It’s all because I’ve been tortured enough by him, and he’s the least valuable compared to other colleagues. He even dropped me from the air when he sent me here. I’m lucky if I didn’t fall to death!”
The king nodded when he heard the words. Poor Matthew successfully won his sympathy. He was also an important person around him, so he believed his words: "Just come back! Go to the church to ask the priest for treatment first, and have a good rest!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Matthew replied respectfully and asked at the same time, "Please rescue General Bernanto and the others. That devil can do anything. Although paying the ransom will harm the face of the kingdom, General Bernanto and others can be saved."
Only our colleagues can minimize our losses."
These words resonated with Prime Minister Kilke and other civil and military officials. In fact, many of the captured generals were their family friends.
