Chapter 100: The Changing Situation
The miraculous rescue of a baby alive from the ruins of a ruined city is a great inspiration to all the professionals of the Legion of the Council Guard, but even happier are the Iron Wolves who once lived in the city.
Dubbed the "Harbor Miracle", the little creature is now cared for by a group of professionals and mercenaries, who see him as the hope of a new life in the harbor of Kurast, bringing the first glimmers of life to a city still plagued by disaster and pain.
But the war was not over yet, and although Xue Hua had received information from the Swarm Interceptor Force in the Rainforest, and learned that the Demon Slayer Legion had miraculously arrived there and begun to turn the tide of battle in terms of high-end combat power, the overly large Sakaram Legion still stubbornly broke through the interception net woven by the Demon Slayer Legion and the Swarm.
The Worm Mothers and an army of professionals under the command of General Hodge are hunting down the Sakaram Legion, which is frantically rushing towards the seaport of Kurast, in an attempt to further reduce their numbers.
And it's worth noting that General Hodge believes that this massive Demon Legion force, while losing all of the Evil Pact officers, is not completely in command confusion.
He believed that the remnants of the Sakaram Legion, which still numbered more than forty thousand, were now being commanded remotely by Mephisto in the hateful prison under Trivank in some special way, and some strange energy signals captured by the node king worm from time to time seemed to prove this.
It seems that the Demon God, after several defeats, has begun to stop believing in his legendary Evil Deeds, and this time he has chosen to personally command his demon clone army to complete this counterattack.
Although General Hodge and the other Legendary powerhouses on the Professional's side finally intercepted the Legion Commander on the Demon side in the interception battle, they still allowed the other two Legendary Evildoers to escape.
The forces of Hell in Trivank should have been informed of what happened to the Sakaram Legion by now, and it cannot be ruled out that they will send more follow-up troops to continue to participate in the counterattack on the seaport of Kurast.
However, after successfully clearing the entire seaport of Kurast, the Legion of the Council Guard has quickly activated the previously blockaded harbor area, and after the Corruptors and the Dragons have helped the legionnaires wipe out all the remnants above the harbor, Lugoin and the council's reinforcement fleet have begun to set sail.
Just when this kind of big battle was about to break out, Xue Hua received an alert from the Inspector King Worm from the direction of Jikur.
In the early morning of the second day after the Battle of Kurast Harbor, the Inspector detected movement outside the city of Jikul.
A large number of sheep-headed demons suddenly appeared and surrounded Jikur, and the illusion of the holy relics in the city, which had shielded the vision of the Surveillance King Worm, began to dissipate after an hour.
Based on these clues, Isha judged that the Korast Harbor Survivor Shelter in Jikul had probably been discovered by the demon army, and that about forty minutes after Jikul was surrounded by the sheep-headed demon army, extremely violent psionic energy fluctuations suddenly erupted from under Jikul.
This psionic energy fluctuation is recorded in the swarm's information bank, and it is the unique psionic symbol belonging to the "Riddle Monk" Omas.
Isha believes that the survivors of Kurast in Jikur are likely dead, and that the demon army has now taken over the ruins of the city not far from the seaport of Kurast.
It judged that when the seaport of Kurast was counterattacked by Trivank, it was likely that the demon legions in Jikul would also strike, forming a two-sided attack on the harbor from the north.
After receiving this bad news, Xue Hua immediately shared it with the legendary powerhouses who were actively organizing defense work in the harbor.
"What?! You say that Jikur was attacked?! Ocasso's bull's eyes were as big as brass bells, and his face was full of disbelief.
"When did this happen? What about our people? Did they escape? Several mages standing beside him also stared at Xue Hua in shock, as if they wanted to confirm that he was a real person and not an illusion.
"I don't know the specifics, but the protective barrier in Jikul City is dissolving, and a large number of sheep-headed demon legions have appeared around." Xue Hua shook his head with a solemn face, he was also very surprised when he first learned the news, and even personally confirmed it several times before it was completely confirmed.
"Damn it! Where did these demon cubs come from? What about Omas?! Why didn't he send us a message?! ”
Okaso slammed the table hard, so strong that he left a deep fist mark directly on the hapless bluestone table.
"According to the message from my minions, this is supposed to be a surprise attack, the attackers are coming from northeast of the rainforest, and they seem to be very sure that the survivors are hiding in the city of Jikul, and as soon as they come up, they will directly besiege the ruins of the city from the ground."
Xue Hua frowned and pondered for a moment, and his face quickly showed surprise.
"Could it be ......?"
"It's a fox-wolf! It's definitely him! Only he had the courage to dare not return to Cui Vank to deal with the Demon God's questioning after the defeat, but instead suddenly launched an attack on other places with the remnants! ”
With a calm face, Marion turned around and walked to the map hanging behind him, grabbed a charcoal pen and drew a large arrow on the map from the rainforest border to Jikur in the northeast.
"Xue, have your servants seen the details? What happened to Omars and the survivors? ”
Seeing Marion's movements, several other legendary powerhouses were stunned for a moment, and Farah was the first to react, and now the party's top priority was to confirm the safety of the personnel.
As for the possible siege of the seaport of Kurast, it is secondary, after all, since the sea road has been opened, a large number of reinforcements from the western continent will continue to be sent to the seaport.
Moreover, the portals that provide troops and hell breath for the Hell side have now been served in a pot, and it only takes a few legendary mages to go to the East End Square together to send all these evil things back to Hell.
Therefore, the current harbor actually has enough capital to fight a war of attrition with Hell, and once the Demon Slayer Legion also comes to the Kurast Harbor to join them, then the professionals will have the qualifications to compete with Mephisto in terms of ordinary combat power or high-end combat power.
This is not a second world that has been severely eroded by hell, and as long as Mephisto doesn't want its clone to be killed by a group of legendary powerhouses, he can only hide in the sacred celestial sphere under Cui Vanke.
So the most critical question now is whether the refugees from the Kurast seaport have survived.
Because of the presence of Omars, the legendary powerhouses who knew his abilities had such hope.
"It's not clear yet, my minions are searching the perimeter of Jikur for their whereabouts, and if there's any news about them, I'll ... Wait a minute! ”
Xue Hua was halfway through his words, and suddenly reached out and pressed his temple, frowned, and closed his eyes.
He maintained this state until a few minutes later, when he regained his head.
"Found them! Right at the exit of a sewer on the banks of the Zuraka River... They looked frightened, but luckily no one was hurt......"
When he said this, everyone in the command breathed a sigh of relief, only Soraka, who was standing beside Xue Hua, noticed Xue Hua's still frowning brow.
"What's wrong? Are they in any trouble? The paladin asked.
"No, they won't be in trouble, I've arranged for my servants to come and pick them up.
But... I don't think I found any trace of Mr. Omas? ”
