The aristocrats were already in a panic.

The door of the council hall slowly opened, and the old general slowly walked into the conference room, and as far as the eye could see, he could see that the mahogany round table placed in the middle of the spacious hall was already full of nobles in fine clothes. It's just that at this moment, the arrogance and elegance of these guys have completely disappeared, and only the horror and uneasiness on their faces remain. Seeing the old general walk in, several nobles soon stood up, glared at him angrily, and asked.

"General Ecovacs, you're finally here. Now I think you should report to the council what happened! What happened to the fires that occurred in civilian areas before? What's going on now? Why hadn't the Legion reported to the Council before? ”

Beam-jumping clowns.

The old general shook the raindrops from his cloak and glanced at the nobleman with disdain. Of course he knew why this guy was so angry. It's not a matter of a day or two for many members of the noble council to turn the Orlant garrison into their watchdogs, and for them, it's just part of a power struggle. And he is the biggest obstacle in front of them, so these guys can't wait to break out and want to embarrass themselves. But what's the use of that? Thinking of this, Ecovacs couldn't help but sneer in his heart, even if they were relieved of their duties here, what could they do? The situation below is unknown, can they find someone else to help them defend the lair?

"General Ecovacs, please explain immediately!!"

Seeing that the old general didn't speak, the nobleman thought that he had caught the other party's sore feet, and immediately raised his voice and planned to chase and fight. Beat the water dogs. If he could force the general of great prestige in Orlante to make compromises and concessions here, he would be able to go one step further in the noble council. Perhaps it was only a matter of time before he even got the position of chairman of the council -- and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel more and more fluttering.

But what he didn't expect was this. General Ecovacs ignored his inquiry, he didn't even look at it, as if it wasn't a man who had just spoken, but a barking rabid dog. This immediately made the nobleman angry, and he stretched out his hand to point at Ecovacs, and was about to say something, but at this moment, an old, calm voice suddenly sounded. It was like thunder on the ground.

"Enough!"

Hearing this voice, all the nobles present couldn't help but curl up, and the guy who stood up before was even weaker and sat back in the chair. His face was pale, and he didn't dare to take a breath. But no one paid any attention to the clown now, and they all turned their heads to look at the back of the hall. I saw there, a slender figure slowly emerged.

It was an old man with a white beard, and he was wearing a pitch-black tuxedo. His beard and hair were meticulously groomed, and although he looked very old, his body was still as straight as a javelin. He gripped his cane and walked slowly. His face was stern and cold, staring at the qi qi in front of him, and the whole person was full of a momentum that was not angry but mighty.

This is the owner of Orlante City, the city of gold. Walton.

As a nobleman. The Wharton family is an indelible legend of the Golden City, and it was the ancestors of the Wharton family who led a group of refugees on a long journey to get here. The City of Gold was eventually built. They have overcome a series of hardships and dangers, and even broken through the barbarian and orc blockade. Countless hours and efforts have taken to build this great city. It can be said that the influence of the Wharton family in the city is so strong that no one can replace it.

"General Ecovacs."

The old man sat at the end of the round table, staring at the general in front of him.

"Please report it."

"Yes, sir."

It was only then that Ecovacs nodded, and then he spoke calmly.

"So far, we have completely lost contact with the civilian and commercial areas, and according to the sentinels' descriptions, they used to see fires burning in the civilian areas, but now they have completely extinguished them under the torrential rain. As for the rest, we don't have any conclusions at the moment, none of the scouts sent out responded, and the only thing we can be sure of is that we have been attacked. However, the identity of the enemy, the purpose of which is unknown, and it is not known how they infiltrated the city of Orlante. ”

Hearing this, the entire noble council suddenly "boomed", and it is no wonder that Ecovacs's answer was a little too unbelievable, and it was an hour before they received the report, so it is conceivable that the attack definitely started before this. And now, another hour has passed, and General Ecovacs actually said that he still doesn't even know who the enemy is!? This is too unbelievable, isn't it!!

"Silence!"

Hughes clenched the wooden handle in his hand and struck it hard, and the loud knocking sound caused the already noisy conference hall to fall silent again. But this time the silence was even more unsettling than before.

"So what do you think?"

"I don't know what they're going to do, but as things stand, if the army is coming, there's no way we're going to protect everyone in this situation. Fortunately, so far, the noble district has not been attacked........."

Speaking of this, even Ecovacs himself felt a sense of absurdity, obviously the commercial area and the civilian area had fallen, but the aristocratic area had nothing to do, and even the guards guarding the gate had not been attacked. The other party didn't seem to be interested in his central nobles and leaders at all, which made Ecovacs, who had fought all his life, puzzled, and didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd. If it is an enemy attack, then it is generally important to paralyze the chain of command at the first opportunity. Since the other party can enter Orlant City without knowing it, then launching a surprise attack on the noble district will definitely cause chaos. But instead of doing so, the attackers focused more on civilian and commercial areas -- leaving Ecovacs unsure of what the other side was up to.

Are you new to Orlant City? If you're not familiar with it, can you sneak into the city? Or do they intend to use commercial and civilian areas as bait to lure their armies into attacking? The commander of the other side wouldn't be so brain-dead.

Ecovacs keenly sensed that there must be some conspiracy involved, but he couldn't grasp anything for a while, but as the commander-in-chief, he had to make a decision in the end.

"I'll call for help right away."

"Asking for help?"

"Yes, my lord, the Legion of Stone, the Legion of Iron, and the Legion of Silver have not responded to our signals, and it is very likely that they have completely fallen. In this case, relying only on the Golden Legion will only be able to protect the noble district itself, and we have already lost several elite squads, so there is no point in continuing to send scouts. Unless we can organize a legion to go to the commercial area to investigate, but then there is a high risk of being attacked by the enemy. Considering that they were able to quietly take down the three garrison legions, their strength was certainly not weak, and in this case, even if we could find out the details of the enemy, we would probably suffer heavy losses. By that time, I'm afraid that even the troops to defend the aristocratic district will not be enough. That's why we need to call for help. ”

"So what do you mean......... We're going to turn on the beacon and ask the Ten Towns Alliance for help? ”

"Yes, sir."

"We can't do that, my lord!"

Hearing this, many nobles immediately stood up and protested loudly, the Ten Towns Alliance is a greedy vampire, and they know very well how insidious and cunning that merchant alliance is. It's not a matter of a day or two that they covet the wealth of the Golden City, and if they ask for help at this time, then maybe the merchant alliance will take advantage of the situation, and it will be good to loot oil and water, what if they use the excuse to take over the city?!

"So is there anything you can do?"

In the face of the passionate aristocrats, Hughes seemed very calm, in fact, he just used one sentence to completely shut up the nobles who were still yelling before.

"We can't get in touch with the other two districts at the moment, and in this case, the nobility will only be able to hold out for less than a week. If you have another way, you can come up with it, and I don't think General Corvus will refuse such a proposal. ”

"This ..............."

Hearing this, the nobles were stunned for a while, what kind of joke, although it is said that there are not no erudite people among the nobles, but they also have to know who the enemy is? Now they are here with a black eye, and they don't even know what the other party is, what useful opinions and suggestions can they put forward? Is it all guesswork?

"It looks like it's decided."

Glancing at the speechless nobleman, Lord Hughes nodded, and then he stood up.

"Turn on the beacon."

Turquoise pillars of light rose flat on the ground.

Jenn looked up and saw that under the gloomy sky, a bright pillar of light reached the sky. From a distance, it seems to be a pillar connecting the heavens and the earth. And at this moment, in the depths of the heart, Enoa's voice came again.

"They seem to be asking for help, master."

"Let them toss."

Jenn snorted and replied to Enoya's words. He turned his head and looked at the fortress beneath his feet, where it was empty, the bodies had long since disappeared, and even the blood had been washed away by the rain. As far as the eye could see, the whole city was pitch black, and the streets and rooms were covered in darkness and silence, and the icy wind swirled and rained through the empty streets and rooms, bringing only ice.

The stage is ready, and the actors are in place.

Jenn pulled out his watch and looked at the time on it.

There were still almost two hours until dawn.

It's almost time to get ready for the opening. (To be continued......)
