Chapter 381: After the Storm, the Sun Rises from the City of Kiel
With a thunderclap in the sky, the dark clouds in the sky began to rain as if they had received some signal, and the entire city of Kiel was quickly shrouded in this endless dark cloud and heavy rain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A palace guard looked at Thatch, who was standing alone in the heavy rain, and hurriedly took an umbrella and ran behind him, and when he was about to hold the umbrella for him, he saw Thatch, who was standing in front of him, waved his hand at him and said, "Has Elva found it?"
"Report to Your Majesty, the thunder and lightning in the clouds are so strong that our people have been forced out after several attempts, and there is no way to get any news about that lord for the time being. As he spoke, the guard sighed a little helplessly.
"It doesn't matter, this level is no longer within the scope of our intervention. ”
"Failing to share His Majesty's worries is the incompetence of his ministers. With that, the guard knelt down toward Thatch.
"It's all at this point, and it's useless to talk about it any more," he asked, turning to the guards and courtiers behind him, who were all standing in the rain, "what is the situation in the city?" ”
"Your Majesty, the curfew has been enforced in the city according to your orders, and there are our sergeants patrolling and standing guard in the streets and alleys, and the soldiers on the city walls are also ready to attack at any time, and once the enemy is found, they can counterattack the enemy as quickly as possible. A military attache in charge of the city's defense stood up and lowered his head to report to Thatch.
"Very good, tell the soldiers to be on strict precautions tonight, and the survival of the country depends on them tonight. "The enemy's attack is akin to a forbidden spell, so there is no real need to send the city's defense forces, and their real role is not to defend against the enemy's army, but to maintain order in the city at the beginning of the enemy's attack.
"Your Majesty, the lords of the city have sent messengers to ask what is going on, and to ask to come and see Your Majesty. At this time, another civil official stood up and reported to him truthfully.
"Tell them that I'm not in good health, and everyone won't be there," Thatch looked at the heavier and heavier rain and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious, "Order the soldiers in the city to strengthen the vigilance of those lords, and if anything happens that doesn't need my orders, they will be subdued as soon as possible." ”
"Yes. ”
"All of you stand down, I want to be quiet for a while. With that, he raised his head and looked at the heavy dark clouds in the sky, and said nothing.
Unfortunately, the situation did not improve as they had hoped, but rather worsened as time went on, and in the midst of the pouring rain, thunder and lightning continued to fall from the sky to attack the city of Kiel on the ground, but without exception they were all cut off in mid-air by the invisible transparent wall in the sky.
Or rather, this defensive magic could really stop all this, an obvious self-delusion thought came to his mind, but what happened next undoubtedly shattered all his illusions.
With a loud thunderclap, countless bolts of lightning at the same time, from different directions, launched an attack on the defensive circle that had been blocking them all along.
The thunder dragon that poured out of the nest attacked the defensive magic with a posture more fierce than the storm, and the tooth-aching rumble and the lightning that continued to illuminate the entire city like flashing lights again and again made all the residents of the city feel terrified, and even the soldiers patrolling the city began to feel unprecedented pressure when they looked at the apocalyptic scene in the sky, if it weren't for the patrol team composed of all fighters patrolling the city, I am afraid they would cause chaos and disasters far more terrifying than the mob.
Click, with a crisp sound like glass cracking, the defensive magic that had been insisting on finally began to show a hint of collapse, and with the beginning of this collapse, the chain reaction caused a large area of cracking in the entire defensive magic, although there was no gap, but the feeling of precariousness was even more unsettling.
Thunder and lightning were still falling, and even the roar of the cannons was less than 1/12 ten-thousandth of it, and it was hard to imagine what the impact these lightning would have had on the city without this layer of defensive magic.
People huddled together, hands clenched into fists, unprecedented devotion to religion spread through the city like a flu, and the fragility of the human spirit led them to put their last sustenance on the ethereal god.
But it's actually very useful, because it's hard to imagine what terrible things humans can do because they've lost their sustenance and are crushed by great pressure.
Perhaps it was really because the prayers of the people of the city moved a certain god, and the continuous thunder and lightning in the sky finally stopped after the last lightning concentrated the shield and then disappeared, and the heavy rain in the sky gradually came to an end after this madness of nature.
Under the influence of the city's curfew, the residents of the city stood at home and watched through the windows to breathe a sigh of relief at the end of the weather, and they thought that they could finally breathe a sigh of relief and get a good night's sleep under the protection of the soldiers patrolling the streets day and night.
But as if the story had a twist, the catastrophe didn't seem to be over until now.
As if accumulating energy, the dense dark clouds flickered with electric light, and the muffled thunder of the beating of drums rumbled, and a terrible roar after a terrible roar was uttered when the people had already relaxed.
Eventually, a flash point that was much thicker than the previous one exploded with a thunderous blast, easily shattering the precarious defensive magic in the sky and directly hitting the mage tower in the city.
In just an instant, all the buildings within a radius of fifty meters were destroyed in an instant, and the fire caused by the fire ignited a dense complex with the help of the wind, and at this time, only scattered raindrops in the sky were more like adding fuel to the fire than extinguishing the fire.
The dark clouds in the sky had dissipated, but the ground was already blazing.
"Is this the enemy's attack?" said Thatch, looking at the chaotic firefighting scene in the distance, but for some reason, looking at the dark clouds in the sky that disappeared at an alarming speed, his heart still felt like he was pressing a stone.
"Look in the sky, there seems to be something in the sky!"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of discussion behind Thatch, although they tried their best to keep their voices low, but in the eyes of Thatch, who was a second-order Douhuang, as long as he listened attentively, it was no different from speaking in an ordinary-sized voice.
In the sky, he raised his head, and by this time the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed for the most part, and the moon and stars seemed to have been washed away after this heavy rain, and appeared brighter in the dark night sky.
What are those two, no, it's four! Thatch also noticed something wrong in the sky, and in the sky above him were four stars that radiated a weak, but distinctive, light.
And they seem to be getting bigger and bigger.
"Come on, go up there and show me, what the hell are those four......" Thatch turned and gave orders to the guards behind him, but before he could finish his words, there were explosions in the sky one after another.
I saw that the four strange objects in the sky that were still speeding up towards this place just now suddenly disintegrated in mid-air, and turned into fragments of the same size, about forty or so in number.
"What the hell is going on?" Looking at the fragments that were obviously much smaller in size, Thatch couldn't help but become even more strange, even if something of this size fell from the sky, it would turn to ashes before it hit the ground, so what did they actually mean, was it just a threat?
But what happened in the next moment surprised everyone present, and the fragments not only did not slow down after disintegrating but also accelerated again, falling to the ground at a speed far beyond the speed before the disintegration.
Rumble!
Unsuspectingly, the cone-shaped fragments caused a huge explosion the moment they hit the ground, the powerful explosion and flames took all the lives in the vicinity of the explosion site in an instant, and the shock wave turned a large area of nearby buildings into ruins like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves.
More than forty fragments caused forty huge explosions in the city, and the city, which had been silent because of the curfew, boiled in an instant.
The cries and cries of the dying beat the nerves of those who survived like a sledgehammer, and the army was completely out of control, the uncontrolled army scattered and fled, and the worse of all, the crowds plundered the ruins of the city, plundering the finances that did not belong to them while slaughtering the inhabitants who were supposed to be protected by them.
Confusion, chaos everywhere.
The city with its gates closed has been transformed into a paradise of chaos, both inner and outer, nobles and commoners.
At this moment only the survivors and the dead, as well as the perpetrators and victims, remain.
A city-wide explosion is like an hour of power outage in New York City, and people's innermost desire to commit crimes is instantly brought to an unprecedented high point under the dual effect of uncontrolled and tremendous mental pressure.
The whole city was in flames, and crazy people felt the sudden madness like headless flies in the streets covered with ruins and blood.
There is one exception, and that is the Imperial City, located in the heart of Kiel.
Because this is the only place where not even the city walls have been affected by the explosion.
"Your Majesty, a large number of civilians seeking help have gathered at the north gate of the Imperial City, and the Praetorian Guard has requested to be driven away. ”
Duke Molorellele and a number of counts are leading their troops to the imperial city, and are now heading towards the north gate. ”
"Your Majesty, more than 3,000 people have gathered at the east gate of the city defense army, and they hope that Your Majesty can open the city gate and let them be kings. ”
"Your Majesty's ......"
All kinds of news fell like snowflakes, and under the light of the fire outside the city, the busy ministers of civil and military affairs were like ghosts in hell, and the noise of all kinds of voices mixed together made people feel anxious and uneasy.
"Tell the Praetorian Guards that from now on no one is allowed to enter the Imperial City, and the city guards outside the city who are waiting to be incorporated will send them directly to fight the rebellious lords," Thatch, who had been on the throne for many years, still thought calmly in the face of such a huge disaster, and reduced the damage in the worst-case scenario, "Use communication magic to contact the nearest northern garrison to the city, and order them to return overnight. ”
It seems that sending soldiers around the city in advance is the right choice, otherwise, if these soldiers are still stationed in the city, I am afraid that it will cause incalculable losses.
Thatch finally breathed a sigh of relief, because until now, whether it was a lightning strike or an explosion caused by a debris falling from the sky, as if blessed by God, all the terrible disasters had happened outside the Imperial City.
Everything seems to be very coincidental, it just so happened that the inner and outer cities are covered with corpses and rivers of blood, and the imperial city has not even suffered any damage to the city walls.
So is this all finally over? Of course not, since they gave Chu Qing such a big gift, then Chu Qing naturally can't just give such a small gift, right?
No one noticed that after the four distinctive "stars", they followed the other one unhurriedly, followed by another "star" whose size was almost the same as the previous four in terms of size and appearance. ”
In the midst of everyone's busyness, this "star" slowly flew above Kiel City, and then slowly and leisurely aimed at the imperial city of Kiel City without anyone noticing.
In an instant the whole city of Kiel fell silent, and the next moment a tiny bright spot appeared in the middle of the city, and then the tiny bright spot grew in size like the newborn sun, until at last the whole Imperial City was enveloped in its dazzling light, which blinded instantaneously at a glance.
From a distance, I saw a dazzling sun slowly rising from the city of Kiel in the darkness, but compared to the sun in the sky that brought light and heat to people, this sun only brought death.

(This chapter is actually still a manuscript, and the above thanks were added later, which is considered a belated thank...... Late thanks, how do you sound so secondary...... )
(And I saw a certain person who threatened to take a brick and beat my book friend and bet that if these chapters came out in one day, he would die in the women's toilet (you are very good at choosing a place, and I will say so next time!), I can tell responsibly, that's right, these are all things that I forced myself to code out except for code words for a day, and this is the reason why the quality of these chapters has dropped significantly!...... Also, another reason why I say this is that I've run out of manuscripts, which means that this chapter is finished, and it depends on luck when the next chapter will be updated...... )
