The roar of the monster swept through the lower city like a raging wind.

Inevitably, the city was plunged into chaos, and countless people poured towards the west gate, which was not very spacious, and the gate was crowded with fleeing people.

Even some soldiers of the city defense army threw away their weapons, took off their uniforms, and ran home with their wives and children.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering on the road in front of the gate, and when the stampede was about to happen, a section of the city wall next to the gate suddenly burst into flames.

It didn't take long for the three- or four-meter-high wall to collapse in several places, followed by another collapse, and the gaps were joined to form a twenty- or thirty-meter-long opening.

A middle-aged man with fiery red hair jumped to the edge of the collapsed city wall after the wind blew the dust away, and shouted in a voice that could be heard by half the city: "Don't crowd there, go from here, one by one, everyone can go!"

The crowd in front of the city gate rushed towards the gap in the city wall, and then ran to the stone arch bridge a few hundred meters to the west.

Charles stood at the head of the wall in the southeast corner, and the monsters running wildly in the distance stirred up a puff of dust.

Beside him, Deborah watched nervously as the small team of city defense soldiers and adventurers in the distance who were still finally doing their jobs intercepted the scattered demonic beasts that attacked and diverted the villagers.

Charles originally wanted Deborah to cross the river first, but Deborah said that she didn't want to say anything, saying that it was better to follow Charles safely than to stay alone on the other side of the river.

Charles, who had no choice but to take Deborah to the head of the city wall, fortunately, there was a positional battle next, and he had no problem taking care of Deborah.

Now their task is to form a line of defense with several teams outside the city walls, preventing the monsters from running from the open space between the city walls and the river to the west gate and the stone arch bridge to attack the evacuated people.

Charles patted the head of the city wall and couldn't help sighing, even Deborah could blast out a pit in this wall, and it was not as good as the camp built by the fishmen who cut down the durian trees outside the durian city back then.

At this time, Deborah asked, "Why are there so many demonic beasts coming this way?"

Charles shook his head and replied, "No one knows, the only thing that can be determined now is that these monsters are controlled, they are inflicted on them in a berserk and bloodthirsty, and there is a little psychological suggestion." ”

"But no one knows who is the mastermind or the purpose, and it is not known that the other party is doing something like revenge, but it is certainly not to send food for the winter to the people here. ”

Just now, Charles and the others studied those magical beasts in the valley, and the rough guess was that these magical beasts were infected by a kind of soul magic.

In the Reimu gift package in Charles's brain, this kind of magic is only mentioned in two or three hundred words, and it is specifically stated that this magic belongs to the category of forbidden magic.

The magical beast infected with this magic is like a soul signal transmitter, infecting the souls of some intelligent animals in the vicinity, and its spread is like a virus infection.

In addition to magical beasts such as slimes, even rats and snakes have not escaped along the way.

If this magic is modified to a level that can infect humans, it will be similar to Resident Evil.

Thinking of this, Charles couldn't help but shudder, if that was the case, he wouldn't be able to fight.

More and more demonic beasts are burrowing out of the mountains and forests, but it seems that they have no intention of attacking the city immediately, but are attacking the farms with no one everywhere, hunting down those livestock to fill their stomachs.

Although these demonic beasts are controlled, their bodies are still not out of the category of animals, and they will still be tired and hungry.

As the granary of Qiqiu City, the livestock here is enough to feed the monsters.

Seeing that he couldn't fight in a short time, Charles said to Deborah beside him: "You haven't slept until last night, do you want to rest first, so as not to wait for a lack of energy." ”

Deborah shook her head.

When Charles saw this, he sat down next to the wall and said, "Then I'll sleep first, and you can wake me up if there is a situation." ”

Before Deborah could react, Charles fell asleep, and seizing time to rest is the basic skill on the battlefield.

Not long after, a middle-aged man who had just been yelling loudly on the side of the collapsed city wall walked over, and Deborah tried to wake Charles, but he stopped him.

Bishop Falcao of the Temple of Flames said to Deborah, "Let him sleep, you can rest too, I'm here to watch." ”

Deborah was about to say something, but Bishop Falcao took a biscuit the size of a half palm from his waist bag and handed it to her, and on the biscuit there were raisins and melon seeds.

Bishop Falcao said, "Eat something and rest. ”

Deborah, who had taken the biscuit, bowed slightly to Bishop Falcao and ate it, as Charles did.

The biscuit resembles a fisherman's flatbread, a specialty in Deborah's hometown of Florence, and she was indeed hungry and ate it in three or two clicks.

People who are well fed tend to get sleepy, and Deborah doesn't even know when she fell asleep.

Deborah didn't know how long she had been asleep, she was woken up by a shout.

She immediately got up from the ground and found Charles jumping off the wall.

A large bird, three meters tall and with its head almost reaching the city wall, rushed towards them.

Deborah had never seen such a bird, and its legs were long and thick, and the claws on its feet glowed with a pale blue. It's the same with its neck, which has a small head on top of it. And its wings appear small in relation to its body, and it looks like it can't fly.

Charles met the attacking elephant bird, which was twice his height, and resembled an ostrich, but with its thick, powerful legs and claws that could kick a boar to death.

They now need to catch a live magical beast to study, and this elephant bird that has been delivered to their door is undoubtedly a good choice.

The elephant bird also thought that Charles had sent it to the door by himself, and it gave him a flying kick when Charles was not far from him.

Charles looked confused, are you Kamen Rider or Ultraman, isn't it good to play cards according to the routine of birds?

Charles, who had faced the elephant bird for the first time, almost got caught, made a quick sideways jump, and then rolled on the ground a few times, avoiding the wind-bladed claw.

Charles then didn't give the elephant a chance to fight back, he jumped up from the ground, jumped on the bird's back, and then stunned the bird with the blade of his big knife like a garlic slap.

Then he chopped the bird's claws as soon as possible, lest it seize the opportunity to kill back.

Several people quickly rushed over and tied up the unlucky bird with ropes and dragged it back to study.

Charles jumped back to the wall, and as soon as he landed, a healing spell fell on him, and Sister Rucia, who was helping them in the valley this morning, gave Charles a treatment as soon as possible.

"Thank you. Charles smiled at her.

Then Bishop Rossi came over and said, "The people in the surrounding villages have been evacuated, and the people in the city are coming soon. It's just that everyone didn't eat tonight, and they didn't have a quilt to cover it, so something was going to happen. ”

Charles didn't say anything, this matter was not something he could solve, and it was up to these priests to fight with Duke Beretta, who had been a turtle in the upper city.

At this moment, those demonic beasts began to continue to rush towards the lower city, and a passenger boat was heading towards the river in the distance.
