At the same time, in the indomitable city of Saint Sophie, not far from the Apostolic Tent, Magellan VII urgently summoned Stearns and the two surviving garrison commanders for an impromptu meeting.

"Ministers, I would like to know what you here think of the strange phenomenon that occurred in the apostolic camp not long ago. Magellan VII concealed his inner uneasiness, sat on the throne and looked at the two remaining garrison commanders in the east and south of the city, and continued: "According to the information we have before, these foreign invading forces should have been wiped out by us. But when that strange red cloud suddenly appeared, I had a faint sense of foreboding. I think you also feel that ominous. ”

"My king, we have indeed seen this strange phenomenon. "The commander of the garrison east of the city was a stout woman named Sasha. Unlike other garrison commanders, during the period of resisting the Apostle's attack, Sasha was in charge of the eastern side of the city without the appearance of a figure like Viren, nor did he receive assistance from any other troops, and in every offensive and defensive battle, Sasha relied on his own excellent command ability and the heroic struggle of the garrison to hold on to the present, becoming one of the only two remaining garrison commanders. As for Viren and any magical element, Sasha disdained to agree with it in her heart. In her opinion, a good command of an elite army is the key to victory. She looked at Sters and Earl Winster, the commander of the southern garrison, who could barely maintain his formation with the support of Sterls, and said: "But there is no doubt that we can be sure that most of these so-called apostles have been wiped out by us, and I believe that if we take advantage of the victory at this moment, we will be able to completely drive these invaders back to the world where they belong." Also, I'm biased towards this phenomenon, so they should be reinforced. But even that doesn't prove that they can muster the same number of troops in such a short period of time. So, attacking them is the best option in front of us. Unless, for the sake of our king, Saint Sophie is once again on the front line of war. ”

Magellan VII looked at the strong heroine with some disappointment and shook his head. Turning to Earl Winster, he asked, "And Winster, what is your opinion?"

It's just that the Earl of Winster clearly fully supported Stews after being rescued by Stearns, and now it is no exception. "My position is that of Master Stels. Whatever decision he makes, I will unconditionally support it if it is not against His Majesty's wishes. ”

Magellan VII looked helplessly at his two remaining garrison commanders and sighed in disappointment. But fortunately, there was now a trusting enough Steers, who bowed respectfully to Magellan VII and said, "Your Majesty, although I have witnessed this phenomenon, I do not know exactly what is happening with my understanding. But I think someone will be able to solve the mystery. ”

"Oh, who?"

"Your Majesty, it is the three of them, Viren, Hill and Qi Tianci. “

Without the slightest hesitation, Magellan VII immediately summoned the three people who had been waiting outside the door.

The three of them quickly walked into the main hall, and before Magellan VII could ask a question, Hill spoke. "Saint Sophie can't hold on. “

"What do you mean?" Magellan VII looked at the elf with some annoyance, but because the laws of human beings were completely unworkable for the elves, and in the past few months, Hill had repeatedly made great achievements that he had to hold back his temper and asked, "Elves, why are you so sure that we can't hold it?"

"Because this time the enemy is strong. Even if the three of us joined forces, we wouldn't be able to hurt this thing in the slightest, unless a miracle happens. ”

"Thing, so you know what that red cloud is?"

"I know. Hill continued, "That should be their king. ”

"So what?" Sasa sneered as she looked at Ciel with disdain, "Even their king can completely bring down Saint Sophie?"

Hill looked at Sasa a coldly, until Sasa felt a little hairy in his own heart, and then said, "I don't know what makes you so confident? You're right, you still have tens of thousands of troops, but you should know very well that a large part of them are civilians who have never taken up arms before." How strong can you expect them to be at critical moments? And I felt not long ago that even ten times more of our army would not be able to defeat it. I'm sorry I've dampened your self-confidence, but I think the most important thing we should do now is to strengthen the city's defenses and try to hold out more time so that the people who support us can show up in time. ”

"Recruit our people?" Sasa angrily pointed to the towering line of courage outside the city and said angrily to Ciel, "I don't know what you elf think, but with that cowardly line, how can we get any support?

Hill smiled mysteriously at Sasa, just looked at Qi Tianci on the side, and didn't speak. And Qi Tianci took Hill's words and looked at the king and asked, "Old man, you should believe my words, right?"

"This... Magellan VII hesitated for a moment and replied affirmatively: "Of course, I believe you." There are so many surprises that you lad has given us, and I don't care about a few more,"

Qi Tianci laughed: "What Hill said is true, someone will come to support us." It's just that it's not through that line of courage. ”

The garrison commanders and kings, including Stels, were stunned, "Then where will they come from?"

Qi Tianci pointed to the sky mysteriously: "Like those apostles, from heaven." “

"Well, lad. Magellan looked at Qi Tianci in disbelief, and asked with suspicion: "Although I believe in you very much, but you say that from heaven? How could a man fall from heaven?"

"Well, you'll have to ask this elf. “

When Magellan VII looked at Hill with an inquiring eye, Hill replied lightly: "I don't know if you know or not, the place where the apostles first appeared was not in the territory of Magellan, but on the other side of the abyss of our tribe. “

"I know that very well. And then what?"

"And then, after these damned aliens slaughtered my tribe, they unfortunately didn't find me. I was teleported to Magellan's northern frontier after killing one of their apostle squads guarding the teleportation array. Ciel silently took out the purple longbow in his hand and continued, "And this longbow of mine is used by their captain. “

"Teleportation array, you mean the strange magic that can teleport a group of people from one place to another at once?" Magellan VII stood up in surprise and asked Ciel, incredulously, "How is this possible? That's just a legend!"

Hill smiled faintly, "Doesn't my appearance prove that what I said is true?" And the people who support us should also use such tools. My feelings tell me that they are supposed to use this circle in the territory of the Danmos Empire, and the destination is here, St. Sophie. This makes me sure that we will be supported in the near future, at least so that we can evacuate to safety first. ”

"Soon after? How long was that?"

"Two days. I'm pretty sure. ”
