Chapter 923 Bloody Announcement
Just as everyone was looking left and right around the train, a shrill siren suddenly sounded in the west!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Everyone couldn't help but froze in place.
It turned out to be the highest warning sign!
Wendy was the first to react, "Your Majesty, please go back to the castle immediately to escape!"
To Roland's surprise, Tilly and Ashes also quickly approached him, with the Transcendent keeping them behind while Tilly grabbed his wrist.
An icy metal touch suddenly came from his wrist.
He lowered his head, and saw that the ring on Tilly's finger was full of blue light. Obviously, if something went wrong, she would fly directly to the mining area with her.
For some reason, at this critical moment, 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 regard him as a brother.
Lies are always difficult to hide from the wise.
Even if she calls herself that in person, it's just a way of maintaining an existing relationship.
In fact, the relationship between the two has always been like a veil, blurred and difficult to define, not to mention that Ashes has always been lukewarm to him - although the beams formed in the palace have nothing to do with him, this Even if the black pot wants to explain, there is no way to start. Since he cheated first, it's not good to ask too much, but now he can't help but feel like the dust has fallen to the ground.
Perhaps for Tilly, even if she is not a blood relative, simply being an ally is enough to be trusted and affirmed.
"That's right, it's too close to the border city wall, please leave quickly!"
"Guards, where are the guards?"
"Come here to open the way for His 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 the crowd, Roland finally came to his senses, and he couldn't help frowning... Could it be that the garrison found the devil's trail?
He looked to the west of the North Slope Mine—now it was Sylvie who was in charge of the alert. The possibility of false alarms was very low, and it was probably the devil who could make the border guards sound the highest alarm. But aren't they lacking red fog and dormant? Or did the Taquila Ruins bring new supplies?
Although I really wanted to go to the city wall to take a look, but now that 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 the mountain, he called Wendy and said, "No matter what happens on the other side of the city wall, let me know if there is any news."
"Yes," the latter replied solemnly.
...
Sylvie stared at the approaching enemy, sweating in her palms.
This was not the first time she had seen the devil, but the oppression that the other party brought her was always there.
One, two, three, four, five, six—a total of six terrifying beasts lined up in a row, plundering toward Neverwinter City from the direction of the grassland. Under the observation of the magic eye, every detail of the enemy is clearly discernible. As El Xia mentioned, not every terrifying beast carries a madman, and two of them have a pile of earth-bag-like bone containers tied to their backs, like packhorses specially responsible for carrying things.
If you zoom in a little more, you can see the red mist surging in the container.
Apparently, they carried out this long-distance raid by carrying enough gas tanks.
But...why did the devil attack so quickly?
Shouldn't they be guarding around the sacred stone veins of the ruins, waiting for the arrival of the red moon?
What reassured Sylvie a little was that the First Army responded quickly after hearing the alarm. The artillery on the city wall took off their cannon coats, and several groups of soldiers also entered the confrontation area. If the enemy does not suddenly change direction, the two sides will meet in half a quarter of an hour.
"Miss Sylvie, the people over there asked, if the enemy plans to invade the city, can you infer the blocks they might pass through?" said the personal guard in charge of liaison.
In order to facilitate the transmission of the enemy's situation, Roland moved the prototype of the hand-cranked phone in the backyard of Beipo Mountain to the city wall. Apart from the dedicated line that went directly to Changge Fortress, this was also the first phone in Neverwinter that was put into practical use. It was only controlled by the line leader, and the other end of the phone could only be placed at the entrance of the third frontier city, so in addition to having a special liaison officer, Sylvie also arranged for two witches of God's Punishment for key protection.
"Route 5 or Route 9," Sylvie wiped the sweat from his hands, "but they may also head towards the square, where the people have not been completely evacuated."
If the terrifying beast were to rush into the market, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I see," the guard repeated into the microphone.
"Wait!" Sylvie's voice suddenly changed, "They are climbing up!"
"Are you planning to cross the city wall?" The guards also became nervous.
"But the speed of the terrifying beasts is also decreasing, and the person from this distance from the city wall should be able to see them directly!"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of gunfire was faintly heard in the receiver.
The soldiers who fought on the city wall were undoubtedly the elites of the First Army. They had basically participated in the exploration of the snow-capped mountains, and they did not show panic when facing the devil. Several squads fired in turn, and at the same time maintained a low firing rate, and did not shoot all the bullets in their hands.
But Sylvie soon discovered the problem.
That is, hitting a target in the air is much more difficult than knocking down an oncoming evil beast or God's Punishment Army.
There was no sign of landing, so the soldiers didn't know how to adjust the angle at all. After a few rounds of shooting, the beast was unharmed, and it was approaching a distance of about 150 meters from the city wall.
And their height also climbed to more than 100 meters. The soldiers of the First Army had to raise their gun barrels to aim at the enemy. Although the gunfire was much denser, they still failed to achieve any results.
At this moment, the terrifying beast stopped moving forward, hovering in the air like a giant bat.
The madman's arm also swelled up quickly.
"No!" Sylvie couldn't help but exclaimed, "Let them evacuate the city wall!"
"What?" The guard was startled, "Evacuate?"
However, it was too late, the devil instantly threw the bone spear in his hand, and four white shadows fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye they penetrated the unobstructed soldiers on the wall - once the blow came from the air, the earth wall raised by the lotus lost its meaning. .
Unexpectedly, the enemy did not continue to attack - the madman with its shrunken arm made a series of strange screams, and after throwing a few hides, it turned around and flew towards the grassland.
The attack came and went quickly, and after a while, the figure of the devil disappeared under the skyline.
Sylvie couldn't bear to turn his eyes to the city wall. The soldiers who were directly hit by the bone spear had no signs of life. No matter how the surrounding comrades shook them, their eyes could not be opened again, and the blood dripping from their chests gradually covered their bodies. A pool of dark red blood formed underneath.
The animal skin slowly fell, and it was not empty, but a few rough patterns were drawn.
One of the most striking is a huge wolf.
