Chapter 923: Blood Declaration
Just as everyone was looking left and right around the train, a terrible siren suddenly sounded in the west!
"Wooβββββββββ wooβββββββββ"
Everyone couldn't help but freeze in place.
It turned out to be the highest degree of alert!
Wendy was the first to react, "Your Majesty, please go back to the castle immediately!"
To Roland's surprise, Tilly and Ash quickly approached him, with the Transcendent holding them both in the way and Tilly grabbing his wrist.
A cold metallic touch suddenly came from his wrist.
He looked down, and saw that the ring on Tilly's finger was already glowing with a full blue light, and it was clear that if something was wrong, she would fly straight down the mine with her.
For some reason, at this critical juncture, he felt a little absent-minded, and more attention fell on the owner of this hand.
Unlike Nightingale's unreserved trust, he knew that Tilly didn't really think of him as an older brother.
It's always hard to hide a lie from a person who knows how to do it.
Even if she would call herself that to her face, it would be nothing more than a way to maintain the existing relationship.
In fact, the relationship between the two has always been like a veil, blurred and difficult to define, not to mention that Ash has always been lukewarm to him - although the beam in the palace has nothing to do with him, this black cauldron cannot be explained even if he wants to. Since he deceived first, it was not easy to ask for anything too much, but now he couldn't help but feel like dust had fallen to the ground.
Maybe for Tilly, even if she is not a blood person, she is trustworthy and affirmative enough to be an ally alone.
"That's right, this place is too close to the border wall, please leave quickly!"
"Guard, where are the guards?"
"Come here and make way for Your Majesty!" At this time, the others also reacted and shouted loudly.
With the alarm echoing in mid-air, the scene seemed quite chaotic for a while.
Infected by the tense atmosphere of everyone, Roland finally came back to his senses, and he couldn't help frowning...... Could it be that the garrison has discovered the devil's tracks?
He looked to the west of the North Slope Mine - it was Sylvie who was now on guard, and the probability of a false alarm was low, and it was probably the devil who could have made the border guards sound the highest alarm. But aren't they dormant due to a lack of red mist, or are there new supplies from the Tachira ruins?
Although I would like to go to the city wall to see it in person, but now that the nightingale is not there, the main force of the First Army is still on the way home, so it is better not to increase the burden on the defenders.
On the way down, he called Wendy and instructed, "Whatever happens to the city walls, let me know as soon as there is news." β
"Yes," the latter replied with a solemn expression.
......
Sylvie watched the approaching enemy, sweating in her palms.
This is not the first time she has seen the devil, but the oppression brought to her by the other party has always been with her.
One, two, three, four, five, sixβa total of six dinosaurs lined up and swooped towards Neverwinter from the direction of the grassland. Under the observation of the Eye of Magic, every detail of the enemy is clearly discernible. As Elbi points out, not every dinosaur carries a madman, two of them have stacks of earthbag-like bone containers strapped to their backs, like pack horses that carry their goods.
If you zoom in a little more, you can see a red mist surging in the container.
Apparently they carried out the long run by carrying a sufficient number of gas tanks.
But...... Why would the devil attack so quickly?
Shouldn't they be guarding around the ruins' veins of divine stones, waiting for the red moon to come?
To Sylvie's slight reassurance, the First Army reacted quickly after hearing the alarm, and the artillery on the city walls was stripped of their cannons, and several groups of soldiers entered the battle area. If the enemy does not change direction suddenly, the two sides will encounter after half an hour.
"Miss Sylvie, the people over there ask, if the enemy were to invade the city, can you guess where they might be passing through?" said the guard in charge of liaison.
In order to facilitate the transmission of enemy information, Roland moved the prototype hand-cranked telephone in the backyard of the North Slope Mountain to the city wall, except for the special line that went directly to the fortress of Changge, which was also the first telephone in Neverwinter to be put into practical use. It's just that the line leader is controlled, and the phone on the other end can only be set up at the entrance of the third frontier city, so in addition to a special liaison, Sylvie also arranged for two witches of divine punishment to focus on protection.
"Road Five or Road Nine," Sylvie wiped the sweat from her hands, "but they could also be heading towards the square, where the people haven't been completely evacuated." β
If you let the dinosaurs rush into the market, the consequences are unimaginable.
"I see," the guard repeated into the microphone.
"Wait!" Sylvie's voice changed suddenly, "They're climbing altitude!"
"Are you going to cross the walls?" the guards nervous.
"But the speed of the dinosaurs is also decreasing, and people from this distance from the city wall should be able to see them directly!"
Before the words fell, the sound of gunfire was faintly heard in the earpiece.
The soldiers who climbed the city wall to fight were undoubtedly the elite of the First Army, and they basically participated in the exploration of the snow-capped mountains, and they did not show panic when they really faced the devil. Several squads took turns firing while maintaining a low rate of fire, without all of them firing all the bullets in their hands.
But Sylvie soon spotted the problem.
It's much more difficult to hit an aerial target than it is to take down a returning beast or a punisher.
With no signs of landing, the soldiers didn't know how to adjust the angle, and after a few rounds of shooting, the dinosaur was unharmed and had approached a distance of about 150 meters from the city wall.
They had climbed to over 100 meters in height, and the First Army soldiers had to raise their guns to aim at the enemy, and despite the intensity of the gunfire, they still failed to achieve any results.
At that moment, the dinosaur stopped moving forward and hovered in the air like a giant bat.
The madman's arm swelled up quickly.
"No!" Sylvie exclaimed, "Get them out of the walls!"
"What?"
However, it was too late, the devil instantly threw the bone spear in his hand, and four white shadows fell from the sky, piercing the unobstructed soldiers on the wall in the blink of an eyeβonce the blow came from the air, the earth wall where the lotus rose lost its meaning.
Surprisingly, the enemy didn't continue to attack - the madman with his shrunken arms let out a series of strange screams, threw down a few hides, and turned around and flew towards the grassland.
The attack came and ended quickly, and in a few moments, the devil disappeared below the skyline.
Sylvie couldn't bear to look at the city wall, the soldiers who had been hit by the bone spear had no sign of life, no matter how their comrades shook them, their eyes never opened again, and the blood flowing from their chests gradually formed a dark red puddle of blood under them.
The hides slowly floated down, not empty, but with a few crude patterns.
One of the most striking is a huge wolf.
