Chapter Ninety-Five: The End of Fort Sava
Under that terrible shock wave, Sava Castle was no different from the sand castles that children piled up on the beach, and even the most beautiful sand castles were destroyed by the waves.
Savoie Fort is now a sand castle under the waves, and the four bottom-up cracks opened by the ground crack divide Savoie Fort into five pieces, like five slices of bread that have been cut into uneven thickness, and the shock wave above is also a child's mischievous hand, pressing on the bread cube.
So from the collapsed bell tower pressing on the sloping roof of Savoy Fort, Savoy Fort is like a domino pushed by an invisible giant hand, and a series of collapses begins.
The place where Rebecca hides is the strongest underground chamber in Fort Savoie. It was built in a small cave under the foundations of Fort Savoie, which was first reinforced with spells, and then mixed steel and stone columns to create multiple structural columns, which were then fused with the strata of the dome to create a seamless chamber.
But nowadays, even staying in the supposedly strongest underground chamber does not give people real peace of mind. The vibrations of the outside world seem to come from the depths of the earth, and the irregular vibrations are strong and weak, but each blow makes the silver candlestick on the table shake. The chamber had not been occupied for a long time, and the ash on the dome fell with the vibrations, and small sparks bloomed as they fell into the flickering candle flame.
Due to secrecy, the number of refugees in the group was small, but everyone in the room was either noble or close to Clayderman, and the rest were the most trusted henchmen.
"What's going on up there?" asked Vivien Leigh, fidgeting, "Why hasn't Cecilia been heard from yet?"
No one answered her question, not even the Shadow Guard Flower Farmer. Silence was the best answer, and everyone knew that with that terrible will that could be felt even in the underground chambers, Castle Sava would have to be finished even if it was a hundred times stronger.
After all, is there really a building in this world that won't be destroyed by that force? Even the Divine Kingdom of the Divine Mansion can't stand a battle of that scale, right?
The silence of the people added to the uneasiness in Vivien Leigh's heart, and she said anxiously, "No! I have a bad premonition, I want to go out and have a look!"
Before Kathleen could stop her, Rebecca had already coldly stopped, "Come back!"
"Mom!" prayed Vivien Leigh, "I'm a warrior too!"
"Fort Sava is over, and there's no point in you going. Rebecca didn't know what mood she was in when she said this, but she could see that her face was very pale, "We retracted our fists to fight back more forcefully! Lawrence will definitely rush back, and then, when we will fight back in full force!"
Vivien Leigh gritted her teeth, "But Cecilia, I always have a bad premonition...... as if she would never see her again, this sentence Fei Wenli didn't dare to say, she was worried that if she said it, it would trigger some hidden mechanism that would make her ominous premonition come true.
"You have to be patient, we have to be patient! Trust each other and wait for the time to fight back, that's what a knight really should do. After Rebecca finished speaking, she was silent for a few seconds, and then said quietly, "Vivien Leigh, you have to grow up." ”
The flower farmer lowered her head, and Kathryn and Cynthia looked at Rebecca perceptively, and the two clever women noticed some subtle changes. In the sound of the castle collapsing that roared every few moments, there was a subtle change in everyone's heart.
Even Kathryn, an outsider, wants to sigh, Fort Sava has witnessed the rise and fall of the Magic Empire, the turmoil and reconstruction of the War of Annihilation, the scuffle of the Stee races for resources, and the internal struggle of the human state for power. Regardless of the period, whether as a protagonist, a supporting role or a bystander, Savoie Fort has always stood in the mountains of the north, resisting the erosion of time and history with an incredible majesty, witnessing the change and development of Vientiane. But the dramatic ending of this mythical fortress that was built in the early days of the Magic Empire and claimed to never fall is now in ruins under the inner collapse of the children it raised, leaving Kathleen, an outsider, both ridiculous and bitter about her fate.
After experiencing the oscillating sense of 'Sava Fort was really destroyed', the young and talented mage quickly accepted the collapse of the myth. She even had the feeling that if there was a script for the root of everything that grew and controlled everything, then the script of Fort Savoie was undoubtedly the most perfect. There is no better ending than this, and the castle that never falls should be destroyed at the hands of the children it raises, because any kind of destruction is a blasphemy of myths and legends!
Since Kathryne, as an outsider, has so many associations and sighs in the falling dust, flickering candlelight, and roaring echoes, how will Rebecca, as a party concerned, think about it?
Kathleen looked at Rebecca, the flickering candle flame making the light on her face sometimes bright, sometimes dim, the woman who had lost her family to her son's poor rescue years ago, and now faced the pain and despair of having her home destroyed. But Kathleen couldn't see anything on her face, only that Rebecca, who was quietly watching the candlelight, looked like a silent statue.
At that moment, the proud Catherine sighed as if admitting defeat. She finally understood that no matter how ordinary people in this world were, she couldn't underestimate them, because even if she had a deep mind and illusions, there were always mortals who had not mastered power, and there were always existences that she couldn't see.
Victor also had the same exclamation, but more than Kathryn was puzzled, he didn't know whether his self named Victor couldn't see through people's hearts, or Charlotte, who was the ontology, couldn't see through people's hearts.
He felt that the crumbling annex of Fort Savoie was less like a destroyed building, but more like a dream that was crumbling into his life. The stone wall that made up the dream was rapidly collapsing, and the torches hanging on the wall were extinguished every other time, and the dream, which had been separated by light and dark due to the torches, and relied on because of the stone wall, peeled off its normal shell, revealing the ugly and ferocious nature inside. The crumbling castle annex was the outer shell, and the black cloud tornadoes, lightning, and storms exposed to his eyes were the essence of that ugliness.
Now, Victor feels that he is standing on a desert island with lightning and thunder and a howling wind, and the rapidly collapsing castle annex is an abandoned building on a desert island that has gone through the changes of time, and he stands alone in this desert island, as if he is independent of this desert island, lightning and storm, and has become an independent existence that is extremely free and extremely lonely. If his present mood is depicted in a painting, the viewer can see only the loneliness, but the endless regret and despair.
- What the hell is going on, and why am I standing here?
Victor was in a trance, and in his senses, the line that separates reality and fantasy blurred. But as an independent astral body, his current feeling is completely different from Charlotte's. Charlotte blurs the realm of reality and fantasy with his own might, and he, a sad replica, can only be swallowed by the realm of reality and fantasy.
Boom –
A red flash of lightning exploded thirty meters away from him, pulling Victor out of the illusory dream. This man, this man who longed for freedom, did not flee the castle, but fell to his knees like crazy, regardless of any loss of magic energy, and without fear of exposing himself, using spells, picking at the collapsed ruins with both hands.
Raindrops fell from the half-vanished floor overhead, as if they were tears from an astral body without tear ducts.
