Chapter 1272 Saved
The lord of Westmarch City is named Piero, in his forties, he was also a brave man when he was young, until he was shot in the knee by an arrow in a certain adventure. He can no longer take risks, so he can only go home and inherit the family business as a city lord.
Oh, he should not only be a castellan now, but also the leader of the last human kingdom.
But being a city lord, or being a human leader, these tasks are too stressful, and it's even worse than being an adventurer.
"The monsters of hell are getting closer to our city. The servants of heaven are getting closer."
This is the news Piero recently received. In the past few decades, human cities have continued to fall. Either it was captured by hell, or it became a servant of heaven.
In short, it seems that human beings have come to an end in Sanctuary. Although Westmarch still trains a large number of mages, barbarians, Amazons and so on. Although each city defense army has undergone tenacious training and has the ability of junior fighters. But it is a drop in the bucket, how long can a city of 100,000 people resist the attacks of hell and heaven?
Especially the monsters from hell, that is an overwhelming attack, in fact, my city may not be able to resist for a long time. Now it's just a happy fight between heaven and hell, so this small town of my own can still struggle to survive in the precarious wind and rain.
"But it won't last long." Piero complained to Khadgar, the most powerful archmage in the city: "I think our place is about to be captured."
Khadgar, the archmage in his thirties, sighed after hearing the words: "But we still can't give up hope. The last 100,000 human beings depend on us. Your Majesty, give me another adventure team, I want Set off again to seize the World Stone. Since Eliyunas was able to use the World Stone to find a place of shelter, we can find a new place of shelter. As long as we can find a new place of shelter, then we humans will still You can continue to continue the fire!"
Piero was not very optimistic about Khadgar's plan: "Khadgar, if you lead the team away, our city's most important defensive force will be gone. Angels and demons will directly attack us. They will kill all humans. It's all the fault of that Long Wanshi! He is a bullshit hero. He is obviously not strong enough, but he insists on saying something to kill all angels and demons."
"If you can kill them all, that's fine. But you only killed half of them! There are still five archangels and three demon kings left behind. If you kill them like this, they will all form a bloody feud!" Piero crazily Tucao: "Don't be brave if you don't have the strength! Now the last blood of human beings depends on us to inherit. I am really exhausted."
Piero still wanted to continue to complain crazily, but was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps. A herald ran into the palace, and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee to report: "Your Majesty, there is an emergency!"

Sean, the captain of Alpha Squad, followed Castro and others in the city of Westmarch, which was built in an early Victorian style. The building is huge and full, most of the buildings have gorgeous domes, and exquisite reliefs are carved on the eaves. It is difficult to see low-rise dilapidated houses on the street.
While the people walking on the street have vigilant eyes, but most of them are strong and strong, the elderly and children rarely see skinny ones, and the women's faces exude a ruddy luster. This proves that the people here are not short of food and are rich.
This is a prosperous city in the Age of Discovery. Sean made such a conclusion.
What pleased him most was that people in this world actually spoke Old English or a language similar to Old English. Although with a strong accent, Sean and Castro can still communicate even with guessing and gestures.
This is great news for Sean and the Alpha team. They felt that the task this time was worthwhile, and they waited for someone to come to a perfect world!
The people here speak Old English, are wealthy, and people seem friendly. This is the perfect colonial trading world! This time the people above are very satisfied.
"But boss, why did the captain of the city defense army called Castro see that we are from another world at a glance?" Some team members whispered in Sean's ear.
Sean also whispered back: "Isn't our costumes obvious at a glance? This world looks a bit like a low-magic world, similar to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire. We wear power armor and modern weapons. It doesn't look right to see us, does it?"
"The captain is right, but Castro can actually say the word world. Hmm..." A member of the team whispered, "Do people in this world already know the concept of the world?"
"Maybe." Sean wasn't sure.
He is not very sure, but Castro is very sure that these people are from other worlds! The word [other world] in Sanctuary is not very strange. Because heaven and hell are other worlds to Sanctuary. The mages of this world have long figured out that there are many other different worlds outside this world.
Castro has read the books, so he naturally knows this. Some mages even judged that Master Long Wan should have come from another world. Because his breath is different from the humans in Sanctuary.
Of course, what makes Castro think that the Alpha team is incredible lies in the various equipment that the Alpha team possesses. The weapon that can kill dozens of giant apes with a single touch is too powerful. And these people themselves exude a powerful aura.
Through a simple conversation, Castro got the news from Sean that it was true that these people came from another world. They want to connect with the world. This is great news for Westmarch City!
Castro ordered the messenger to bring the news back to His Majesty the City Lord as quickly as possible.
And he walked slowly with the people. Drop by to introduce customs.
"By the way, Castro. Those giant apes I saw outside." Sean thought of the team of giant apes he led the team to meet. The standing height of 2.5 meters is the same as the silverback gorillas on the earth. Strong and powerful, but it is just a beast, not worth mentioning in front of modern firearms.
"Ah, that's just a beast outside the city. We should have inadvertently intruded into their territory." Subconsciously, Castro lied. He didn't tell these people from other worlds how bad the situation in Sanctuary is now.
Sean nodded: "Are there many orangutans like this?"
"It's quite a lot." Castro said subconsciously, and then wanted to give himself a big mouth, and he said the wrong thing!
On the other hand, Sean showed a happy face: "Not bad." Well, the silverback gorilla is a creature with economic value! It's just that indiscriminate killing is not allowed on the earth because it is listed as a protected animal. In fact, animals such as orangutans and monkeys are necessary for many biological experiments.
"Then do you still have many such creatures here?" Sean was referring to economically valuable animals such as silverback gorillas.
Castro said without hesitation: "There are many." Castro refers to hell creatures, violent and violent creatures.
"Great!" Sean became more and more happy. Animal trade is also lucrative. Especially the fur trade. If there is a large amount of leather goods produced in this world, then it can be distributed!
Castro took Sean to the front of the palace. The palace of Westmarch is still very majestic. The towering azure dome, the clean and pure white marble walls, and the reliefs of heroes of the past dynasties. There are wizards with staffs, archers with bows and arrows, and warriors in armor.
This is a prosperous and powerful country!
Through observation, the Alpha team and others have come to such a conclusion.
And this conclusion was even more affirmed when they saw the city lord Piero in the hall of the palace. Piero wears a magnificent armor and holds a sword. The scabbard of the sword is studded with seven amethysts. Each one is as big as a goose egg.
And standing beside Piero is a man dressed as a mage or a priest. He also has fluttering skirts and looks rich and gorgeous.
"Foreigners, Wismart welcomes you." Sitting on the throne, Piero's voice was powerful.
"Your Majesty the King. On behalf of my country, the Eagle Kingdom, I would like to offer you my highest regards. I will also present you with a gift." Sean, did they bring any gifts? No. But it doesn't matter, just send a pistol to fool these country folks.
It's like how their ancestors fooled the Indians back then.
Piero fiddled with the pistol and even fired a round under Sean's direction. He nodded in satisfaction: "That's right. Stranger, what do you want to gain from coming to Westmarch?"
"Friendship, diplomacy, and business!" Sean didn't expect that the king (city lord) would be so talkative and good-tempered. It seemed that his mission this time was not only successfully completed, but he could even become a diplomatic ambassador.
But Piero and Khadgar looked at each other in the dark, and they smiled knowingly.
Ah, a new world, a new and powerful world, Sanctuary is saved.
