Chapter 379 Earthquake

Urgent alarm bells rang through the town of Leyton, and church knights and priests in white robes rode horses through the streets, summoning every town citizen who might be left behind. At the same time, a wind mage came from the church in the town to Flying to every corner of the town, loudly reading the emergency evacuation order in the air.

Groups of knights also rode out of the town and rushed to the sporadic villages and towns on the north and south sides of the town as well as various stations. There were teleportation light beams constantly lighting up over the mage hall behind the church. They were other people who were going to organize evacuation in distant areas. Personnel: Although most of the entire Beinz Parish is covered by mountains and jungles and is sparsely populated, there are still many small villages and towns besides Layton Town distributed near the defense line. These small villages and towns are also part of the defense line, regulating and Layton Town. It is also a semi-civilian and semi-military fortress, and between these villages and towns there is a series of knight stations and guard towers. These units together form the "Holy Lake Defense Line". Now all residents must be notified to evacuate Beinz Parish, so all the more mobile personnel in the town were sent out. The knights were responsible for notifying the nearby villages and towns, and the magicians teleported to remote areas to organize the evacuation regardless of the cost. This is a race against time, with only two days left for the locals.

The sudden arrival of the evacuation order caused great confusion among the town residents and ordinary soldiers. No one knew why such an incredible order was issued - all personnel, regardless of whether they hold teaching positions, must leave Bay within two days. Inz Holy Land, if this order had not been personally signed by the Rector of Girton and Marshal Ofra, I am afraid that the order itself would have caused unprecedented chaos. But now that the two highest chiefs of the Beinz diocese are sitting in charge, and four high-ranking ascetics have jointly declared, this endless order has been enforced. In addition, the entire Beinz diocese has almost no complete meaning. All of the civilians were more or less members of the military or the church, so the evacuation went much smoother than expected: even if the civilians did not understand what was going on, they still started orderly under the organization of the high-ranking priests. action.

Of course, Galton is not the kind of impulsive and credulous person. The old rector's biggest characteristic is caution. Therefore, after returning to the town, he first sent several groups of people to check the situation in the twisted forest. After discovering that the entire forest was indeed It was filled with unusually dangerous energy, and even the monsters in the forest went berserk before he actually issued the order for a full evacuation.

Hao Ren and his party were waiting for the next development in the temporary annex. The tense and busy atmosphere on the streets outside also affected them. Lily seemed a little restless: "What should I do? What should I do... I really have to deal with someone with hundreds of people." Fighting with a giant guy that's a kilometer wide? It's impossible to win, okay?"

Yzaks gritted his teeth: "I have prepared meteorites, extra-large ones that can flatten the entire Twisted Woodland - you won't stop me this time, right?"

Hao Ren looked at this meteorite maniac and felt for the first time that it was a good habit for Yzaks to hit him when he was in trouble: "Now it seems that I am counting on you. I hope it works, otherwise I can only ask my superiors for support." ”

Vivian was sitting in front of the window, frowning slightly. She had been thinking about things since just now, and then she raised her head: "Why do you think it is such a coincidence? It has been fine for three thousand years, just in time for us to come here in the past few days. Is the Twisted Glade about to awaken?"

"Nine times out of ten, it has something to do with that spaceship." Hao Ren chewed his teeth, feeling that he had encountered all kinds of troubles. "Perhaps it could have been peaceful for a few days, but now a spaceship with tens of thousands of tons If a hole is blown in someone's house, no matter how powerful the lullaby in the coffin is, it cannot be suppressed."

Yzaks suddenly looked thoughtful when he heard this: "There is another possibility: the maelstrom may have destroyed the holy coffin, and the 'Lullaby' stopped early."

These are all possible, but now it doesn't make much sense to investigate why the Twisted Grove woke up in these few days by such a coincidence. Betsy wiped her long sword nervously over and over again, muttering something while she was busy. Hao Ren got closer and heard what she was muttering: "...Grandpa bless you, grandpa bless you. You have studied history all your life, and your granddaughter is now Maybe it will also be written in the history books..." After finishing talking, she continued to talk about something else: "...The three greatest joys in life are to be hung on the wall, to be hung on the wall, to be hung on the wall. ...There is nothing to be afraid of, maybe you will become a hero this time..."

Hao Ren listened to the coke and couldn't help but pat Betsy on the shoulder: "Relax, if it doesn't work, we can still go offline in an emergency. The bottom will not die."

Unexpectedly, Betsy's expression changed when she heard this: "I have decided not to run away this time."

"Ah?" Hao Ren was surprised.

"This is my hometown," Betsy lowered her head and continued to wipe her sword. "The 'Eldest Son' must be very powerful. If it ran out of the Dragon's Back Mountains, I'm afraid not many people in this world would be able to survive... They wouldn't have anywhere to escape. So I won’t run away this time.”

Hao Ren was immediately moved and saw Betsy holding the magic sword, closing her eyes slightly and whispering: "But you can take me out without my consent, don't forget..."

Hao Ren: "..." This girl's life is full of tangles!

At this time, Lily's ears suddenly moved. She slid down from the chair neatly and lay on the ground, with her pointed ears pressed against the floor: "Did you hear anything?"

Hao Ren and the others looked at each other: "No."

"There seems to be a rumbling noise," Lily put one ear to the ground and twitched the other ear, "It came from underground..."

Hao Ren immediately felt cold sweat pouring down his neck: "...It won't be so soon, right? Didn't it say that he will wake up in two days?"

Not long after he finished speaking, there was suddenly a faint noise in the distance, and a moment later the alarm bell in the town rang with an even faster rhythm!

Everyone hurriedly came to the window, only to see many fully armed soldiers running in the direction where the noise came from, and further away, a vague fire was rushing up.

Yzaks was the first to run to the door: "Go and see, something is wrong!"

Hao Ren and his party ran onto the street in the direction of the noise. At this time, more and more panicked people appeared on the street, all running from the direction of the fire. Betsy grabbed a passerby and asked, "What's going on ahead?"

The passer-by looked panicked and answered loudly without looking who it was: "Monster! A monster ran out of the ground!"

Hao Ren's heart tightened. Most of the people who came out of the ground at this juncture had something to do with that root system!

He immediately led the team to run in the direction of the accident, bumping into countless townspeople running towards him along the way. Only after turning around a row of bungalows did he see what the so-called monster was:

I saw countless large holes opened out of thin air on the stone road in the town, and a large number of creepy tentacles came out of the hole, frantically swinging everything within the attack range!

It’s the root system of the Twisted Woodland!

These weird and terrifying underground creatures brought unprecedented panic, and the townspeople who were still confused finally understood what was going on with the endless evacuation order. There were panicked screams of civilians and painful cries of the injured everywhere. Huge tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground, causing huge casualties to the civilians who were caught off guard. People fled in all directions, trying desperately to stay away from these unheard of monsters. The church warriors who came after hearing the news had already fought with those monsters. The knights relied on their thick armor and special body strengthening strength to desperately control those powerful monsters. Tentacles, the magicians on the periphery of the team found the only effective attack method after a short observation: flame.

The fire that rose just now was caused by the magicians attacking the tentacles.

However, facing the tentacles of those ancient creatures, the power of ordinary warriors and spellcasters is too weak. A tentacle can knock several strong warriors wearing heavy armor ten meters away with just one sweep. The fireballs of ordinary magicians can only burn off a trivial layer of horniness on the surface of the tentacles. The ordinary town guards who gathered here are just trying to maintain a stalemate with these monsters with their flesh and blood. This stalemate will continue as more and more tentacles emerge from the ground. Breaking out of the ground, it was quickly broken!

A layer of terrifying flames suddenly rose from Yzaks's body, and he rushed towards the tentacles closest to him like a human chariot. At the same time, he yelled at the ordinary soldiers: "Go and notify Ofra and Gelton! Here! Leave it to us!”

Hao Ren pulled out his prosecutor's gun and waved to the others: "Go!"
