"There is smoke coming from the direction of the watchtower."

"Go provide support immediately! It's by the sea. Get ammunition from the armory and report to Commander Renault right away. The enemy is unknown; they may be coming from the sea. Everyone in the monastery, be on alert!"

The soldiers below the watchtower were all killed by Lorraine in her Destroyer form.

The clever guy went straight to the top of the tower and released a smoke signal.

......

Upon seeing the smoke signals, the bells of the Scarlet Monastery rang.

The soldiers quickly assembled...

The Scarlet Monastery veterans who survived the Scourge invasion were all formidable, and the monastery was filled with elite soldiers.

These guys are all well-trained and work in a coordinated manner.

......

The entire monastery was actually built on a hilly highland. Several watchtowers were built at several corners of the highland.

The watchtower in the northeast is next to the cliff by the sea, while the watchtower in the west is adjacent to the Spider Canyon.

These two locations, together with the monastery, form a strategic angle, offering excellent visibility and making them easy to defend.

The Tomb of Faol is located by the roadside in front of the monastery gate. In front of the Tomb of Faol is a large open space where crimson scouts and rangers on horseback can often be seen patrolling back and forth.

They will be able to reach the front line of the watchtower soon to provide support.

......

"What happened? Where did the accident occur?"

Upon hearing the alarm bell, the dog trainer Roxie, who was walking through the Crimson Library, immediately apprehended the Crimson Messenger.

"There are smoke signals coming from the watchtower in the northeast, but the specific situation is unclear."

......

"Could it be that someone is trying to steal the Forsaken?"

Lochshi is a human male with a Mediterranean appearance; he is an old sergeant in the patrol.

Aside from being good at training hunting dogs, he doesn't have any special talents.

He had a dog whistle, like a magic flute, which could command most of the hunting dogs in the monastery.

......

In Scarlet Monastery, besides Commander Raynor and High Inquisitor Matt Wynne, the Arcane Mage Duan of the Library holds the highest position!

Most of the elite monks and priests were his disciples!

Lockheed had always hoped to improve his relationship with Duane.

He had always hoped to learn magic.

Unfortunately, aside from walking and training dogs, he doesn't have any magical talents...

Even the Holy Light did not accept his conversion to a clergyman.

This greatly displeased Lieutenant Roxie, the dog trainer.

......

Torture officer Wesas and Armory officer Herold were both combat personnel, and they were both low-ranking officers.

Within the Scarlet Crusade, commanders are usually paladins, but the true leaders are clergy.

Arcane mage Duan is passionate about studying magic. He is not only skilled in arcane explosion magic, but also proficient in fire nova and polymorph.

Duane was respected and enjoyed exploring the mysteries of magic, including strange undead creatures.

This capture of Lorraine, a forgotten one, was supposed to be a chance for Lockheed to shine, but before he could even claim credit, he was attacked and mobilized by the enemy.

He could only hurry to prepare the dogs and follow the reinforcements to the watchtower.

......

There were still quite a few survivors on the top of the watchtower, hiding there and carefully observing Lorraine's situation.

The beast-like Lorraine is devouring the enemy's body...

......

His condition is also recovering rapidly, and Luo Lin doesn't know how to evaluate his apprentice's current state.

Beast Shadow Form?

Ghoul?

It's more like a mad dog...

The problem now is how to bring him back to his senses; it's dangerous to leave him here.

Luo Lin had already seen through his apprentice's perception that a dense mass of blood-red reinforcements was approaching from the bottom of the hillside.

.......

"Godfather? Are you there?"

No response...

"Lorraine! Can you hear me?"

The apprentice did not respond.

Lorin wanted to move around, but as a spirit, he was invisible to everyone and could only bounce around inside Lorin's body.

"Lorraine! What the hell?! How are we supposed to play this?"

......

Perhaps sensing the teacher's call, or perhaps because the necromantic energy had been exhausted, the beast-like Lorraine began to absorb the black mist that enveloped her body through her right eye.

As the last wisp of black energy was absorbed by Lorraine's right eye, the necromantic rune lost its luster. When it became still, embedded in the eyeball, the enemy was already poised to attack!

......

"Lorraine, enter the tower!"

As if heeding his teacher's reminder, Lorraine darted into the watchtower.

......

The Crimson Legion, led by a mounted knight, charged to the platform below the northeastern watchtower.

Apart from the dozen or so bloodied corpses of sentries lying on the ground, no enemies were seen...

"Scout, where is the black monster you saw?"

"Reporting to Lord Renault, we only saw a creature shrouded in black mist in the distance devouring the sentinel's corpse, so we rushed back to report."

"You mean, the enemy ate them and ran away? Ghouls? How many?"

"have no idea..."

The blood-red commander looked at the hundreds of soldiers bustling behind him, but there was no one around the watchtower except for the corpses.

With a flick of his whip, he ordered, "Go into the tower and search for survivors."

......

Squads of fully armed soldiers with shields rushed into the watchtower.

Searching upwards along the tower, they quickly found the survivors at the top.

......

"You hid here without the enemy noticing? What exactly happened?"

"Sir, a vengeful spirit has suddenly gone berserk and is tearing at our men. Ordinary attacks are no match for it. Even the torturer, Lord Vesas, was bitten to death by it."

Renault frowned...

"An undead? Just one! Is it a Death Knight?"

"No, it was the sample we caught. He jumped down from the cross and bit everyone to death."

The survivor's voice sounded somewhat embarrassed.

"Did you see where the enemy went? We've completely surrounded this place. Did it jump into the sea?"

Reno looked down from the cliff and knew that unless the enemy could fly, even an undead creature would be smashed to pieces if it fell off the edge.

"That's strange..."

......

The Crimson Reinforcements surrounding the watchtower searched carefully but ultimately reported back to their commander that they had found no trace of the enemy. However, the Crimson Warriors killed below the tower seemed to be turning into zombies.

Before the report was finished, all the blood-red sentinels who had died at the foot of the tower actually stood up and rushed towards the crowd.

......

Renault shouted, "Purify them!"

A force of several hundred men could easily wipe out a few newly risen ghouls. They were all gathered together and burned to ashes; this was the Scarlet Crusade's only means of preventing fallen soldiers from turning into zombies.

Several soldiers who had been scratched by the ghouls were also captured.

.......

"Lord Renault, there's a secret passage beneath the watchtower! The enemy may have escaped through it."

"Really? Quickly send someone in to check."

It was Lieutenant Lockheed, who was leading the hunting dogs, who reminded the commander.

He immediately led the soldiers guarding the bottom of the tower into the secret passage.

Besides the four hunting dogs he was leading, several ordinary soldiers followed behind him.

......

After a few minutes of pursuit and searching, they arrived at the basement where Lorraine was being hunted everywhere.

"Lord Lochshi, no clues have been found about the Forsaken."

The Mediterranean Lockheed was puzzled.

How did the Forgotten One vanish in the midst of a vast army?

Does he know how to become invisible?

"Go out and search, spread out."

......

The accompanying blood-red soldiers surged out from under the stairs.

Dog trainer Roxie suddenly looked at his four beloved dogs. "Wait, something's not right. They can't be scattered! Come back!"

At Lockheed's command, the pursuing crimson soldiers emerged from the secret chamber and headed straight for the farm of the Garen Haunted House to search.

They scattered like a swarm of bees, rushing wildly in all directions around the farm...

.......

When Lockheed recalled his subordinates, a blood-red soldier with an ordinary face ran directly towards Brill.

He walked briskly, his gaze resolute.

A faint smile, as if he had just escaped a disaster, unconsciously appeared on his lips.

......

The blood-red soldier walked to the roadside, exhaling a heavy breath...

"Teacher, we seem to be safe now."

"teacher?"

......

Lorraine was finally out of danger, but the teacher seemed to have stopped making any moves again.

As Lorraine tried to turn back to his original form, a dagger was thrust at his neck.

At this point, he had not yet removed the effects of the Deception Orb.

......

The Orb of Deception is a hidden quest reward given to Lorraine by Paladin Marcus.

The effect is to become a target of the opposing faction for 10 minutes.

After regaining consciousness, Lorraine immediately followed her teacher's instructions and went into the watchtower.

He did not find the tunnel entrance immediately.

Because he was always tied up in the net bag.

There was no entrance to the secret passage or any switch.

In desperation, Lorraine, running upwards, tried to use the Deception Orb after being reminded by her teacher.

The magic from the teacher was channeled into a magic orb bearing a phoenix design.

The image of the crimson sentinel he had just fought flashed through his mind.

After a flash of blue light, he transformed into an unremarkable, blood-red soldier.

......

While Renault and his men were searching, he stood in a corner, pretending to search with a weapon in hand.

Move downwards, deliberately standing at the bottom of the tower.

Wait for an opportunity to follow the search team into the secret passage.

......

Everything went smoothly, except that there was a dagger held across his neck.

It doesn't seem to be going so smoothly...

"Little guy, you're quite clever. You were hard to find!"
