Chapter 104: Calado hasn't fallen yet
Chapter 104
"Speaker, that city, it's fallen."
A herald-looking man sadly came to the council chamber and stood in front of several speakers to report.
"Has the priest retreated?"
"Retreated, but the priest volunteered to stay."
Several speakers were silent for a moment, and then the red dwarf sighed and said, "He deserves to be remembered by our country, and a monument must be erected in the future." ”
Another speaker asked, "How are you preparing for the wall?" ”
"We're pretty much ready, we've built the walls thoroughly, and the Dire won't be able to break through for at least ten years."
This news is the only good news for the Speakers present.
That city will also be remembered by the whole country.
Because without the city's insistence, the defensive front in the rear would never have been established so perfectly.
So, that city......
At this moment, the door was suddenly slammed open, which shocked several speakers present.
Several speakers looked carefully at the people who crashed in, and they all showed puzzled expressions.
"Carado...... Carado ......"
The man who came was one of the speakers of the seven-member council.
This speaker used to be the one who was born in Calado.
Carado is the Speaker's hometown.
If it weren't for someone else to stop him, the Speaker might have gone to Calado to contribute.
The fall of Carado was a big blow to the Speaker, so the Council of Seven also decided to let the Speaker rest for a while first, so that he could calm down, compared to a city, the country is more important.
"Jonah, calm down, I know that Calado is important to you, but now that it has completely fallen, you can't do anything anymore, what we need to do now is to shrink the front as much as possible, and prolong the time for the Dire to devour our entire country as long as possible."
"No, I'm not talking about that, I'm saying that Calado hasn't fallen yet!"
Several Speakers glanced at each other, and they all shook their heads helplessly: "Jonah, about this matter, we are also ...... about the fall of Carado"
"Nope! You don't know, Carado really didn't fall! ”
"Jonah you should know that this is impossible, now that the eastern sky is completely covered in black, we all know about Dire very well, and wherever it is covered in black, there can be no living people in the area."
"But Calado really exists! I can feel it, I can feel my city! Jonah said excitedly.
"You are not calm enough, remember that you are now a speaker, what you have to do should be based on the rise and fall of the country, if you lose your mind like this, several of us may jointly decide to let you temporarily give up the position of speaker, you must know that you now have no support from Calado, and your position as speaker is already very unstable."
"You don't understand what I'm talking about!" Jonah grew emotional.
But Jonah quickly thought of something, and he hurried out with his short staff.
This immediately caused a tense atmosphere in the entire chamber.
"Jonah, calm down, you know you can't easily take out a magic wand in the council chamber, that's the rule!"
The Chamber cannot allow any accidents to happen, and the possibility of accidents and threats when the staff is taken out means that there may be surprises and threats, which is a provocation for the whole country, even if the person doing it is one of the speakers.
"Look here!"
A soft spell appeared, and a crystal ball burst out of the soft magical light.
It's a space-summoning magic, and Jonah is a space magician.
Although several of the Speakers could sense that Jonah was not using some offensive magic, it still made several of them resentful.
"You have to explain it well...... Wait, this is Calado? ”
Several of the Speakers were interrupted by the scene shown inside the crystal ball.
It was the scene they were most familiar with, the square of Carado.
In this crystal ball, you can clearly see countless people hugging and praying in the square in horror.
And outside the square, there are countless eyes in the darkness staring at everyone in this square.
One can see a man with a holy glow standing on a high platform in the center of the square, as if he was doing something with all his might.
"Is it the priest, who is still holding out the Dire's attack? This is almost equivalent to the combat power of the Grand Magus, right? ”
Several Speakers watched in amazement.
The true combat power of the Archmage is an existence that can change the entire situation of battle.
But in the face of the Dire, if the defensive front is set up in advance before the arrival of the Dire, then the combat power of the level of the Grand Magister can exert the strongest means.
But if the Dire completely surrounds an Archmage, then the Archmagister will be consumed sooner or later, because it is difficult for these Dire to be completely eliminated, and the Archmage can only rely on the magical energy stored in his body to resist the oppression of the Dire.
Except for the Archmage, no one could hold out for so long surrounded by Dire.
Judging by the time it took to report the fall of Calado, the old priest might have held out for more than a day.
This may even be the existence of very high-level combat power among the Great Magister.
Several speakers suddenly felt extremely regretful.
If this priest is willing to retreat together, then doesn't that mean that their Winter Spirit Empire may add an ally of the rank of Grand Magister?
With an archmagister, it would certainly be easier to fight Dire in the future.
Now, however, the priest can only be consumed alone.
"No, look at what the priest has in his hands!" Jonah said excitedly.
Everyone's eyes were drawn in the direction Jonah had described.
The priest was holding a strange-looking object in his hand, and it was still flashing with some kind of image.
At this moment, a man dressed in the appearance of a somewhat dirty mercenary quietly approached the priest.
"Be careful!" Several Speakers exclaimed at the same time.
The mercenary looked embarrassed, and if you didn't look closely, almost everyone present would think that it must be a Dire minion.
If the Dire servant succeeds in attacking the priest, the place could be completely destroyed.
Several speakers were a little unbearable to continue watching.
"He's not a slave to the Dire, you see!" Jonah stopped the Speakers from closing their eyes.
