Chapter 160: Battle! (c)
However, when news of the coup d'état in Bretonnia reached Litir and it was learned that it might be the work of the Beastmen, Tyrell had been forcibly united by the 50,000 Imperial troops led by Walkmar, and the process was as uneventful as drinking plain water under absolute power. Later, Lilith received a message from Zhang Hao's communication crystal, asking her to find a way to see Carcassonne, the only city in Bretonnia that had not yet been invaded. Lilith immediately asked for Princess Rachel's help, and deliberately leaked the fact that the beastmen were ravaging Bretonnia to the ears of the workers who were preparing to leave, and finally King Leonardo came forward to provide all kinds of supplies, and Princess Rachel led two thousand workers of various tribes who had been controlled before to Carcassonne, while Lilith and the Imperial army hid in the border area less than five days away from Kalka.
When the rising sun of the next day shone again on the fairy tower of Carcassonne, the heavy gates slowly opened with a creaking sound, and hundreds of refugees who had been waiting outside the gates poured into the city with all kinds of thanks.
"All must be strictly checked by the prophets before entering!! Get in line! Get in line! Although your knight lord is not with you now, don't discredit them! Otherwise, when they come back, you will be punished as you deserve!! "The refugees were firmly blocked at the gate by the soldiers at the gate, after hearing the words of the soldiers, the emotional refugees gradually quieted down, in Bretonnia, all the peasants are the private property of the knights, once abandoned then it is difficult for him to live in Bretonnia, so everyone strictly obeys the law and family rules, and does not dare to have any transgressions, especially in this kind of war period, angering anyone who should not be provoked, then his fate will be very miserable.
After seeing everyone lined up, the soldiers separated left and right, making way for only two people to pass at the same time, and everyone entered the city in an orderly manner under the magic of the four prophetesses. Although everyone knew that they couldn't find out if any of the refugees were controlled, it was still possible to detect conductive metal weapons through sky magic, and no metal objects were allowed to be brought into the city, which was the only thing that Carcassonne's security could do right now.
"Wait! Who are you? Why come to Carcassonne at this time?! "A man and a woman, who were clearly not refugees or local residents, were intercepted.
"Greetings Prophet, I am a mercenary from Litir, this is my sister, we have been invited by Princess Rachel to come to your aid, my sister is a junior light mage, I believe it will be of some help to your country." The people who were stopped were none other than Yar and his sister Sophie, who handed over Princess Rachel's letter.
"Light Mage? I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend, but I still need to ask this lady to cast his light spell, even a little. When the prophetess heard that it was a light mage, she immediately said with a very humble attitude.
"Well... Good. Sophie was very shy and released one light spell after another at the prophetess, saying that it was a spell, which made the prophetess feel the fluctuations of light magic.
"Thank you for coming, Princess Rachel, they are on the outside of the fairy tower in the city, you just follow this path and you will see them." The prophetess diligently showed the way to the two of them.
"Thank you very much." After Yar finished speaking, he pulled Sophie and walked inside, and after a conversation just now, the eyes of the soldiers around him changed, which flattered Yar and Sophie.
The two quickly found Princess Rachel's help, and soon joined the ranks of helping the refugees with others, cooking, bandaging, cleaning, and building improvised houses, because the lake fairy took away three-quarters of the labor force of the whole process, so the two thousand people brought by Princess Rachel were simply a send-off

In the evening, everyone was still relieved from the hard work of the day, and enjoyed this moment of peace happily in the food brought by Her Highness the Holy Maiden.
The old butler was still standing outside, looking at the top of the tower.
"Today, the communication crystal is still interrupted, and all the people sent out in the afternoon have been stopped, and now Carcassonne can only enter and not leave." Ariana, who used to look like crazy every night, stood behind the old butler with a serious face at the moment, and whispered to Rachel, who was leaning against the wall with her.
"Today, Her Highness has sent out all the prophets, and it is said that they will eat and live with the refugees, so that the refugees can feel the comfort from the goddess at the closest distance."
"Huh? How did I not know? The old butler suddenly turned his face and asked.
"Live with the lady, continue to look at your stars." Rachel angrily scolded the old butler back, "Can those prophetesses sleep on the floor or on the board?" “
"Don't say it's them, even if I sleep on the ground for two or three days, my back hurts." Ariana bent down twice and stretched her body.
"Have any of you seen the true face of the Holy Maiden?" Rachel pondered for a moment and suddenly asked a question that everyone had overlooked. "As the current supreme commander of Carcassonne and the spokesperson of the goddess of the lake, doesn't she need to come out to appease everyone?" Rachel continued to ask, looking puzzled.
"It is said that Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden set off with the Fairy of the Lake, but because of sudden discomfort on the way, she came back to preside over the overall situation, but she has not come out since entering the Fairy Tower of the Lake." Hearing Rachel's doubts, the old butler told what he knew.
"Has anyone checked her identity?"
"She was already in the tower when we came, so who are you going me to ask? The prophetesses or the faithful guards? The old butler's tone was also solemn, although he had also considered this question, it was not a simple matter to question his saint in this place of faith.
"That'...... Who was the original commander after they left? Ariana asked, after rolling her eyes a few times.
"I heard that it seems to be a deputy commander of the defenders of Carcasson, a faithful believer in the goddess of the lake. As for where? Wait a minute..... "The old butler thought for a moment, and then walked in the direction of the fairy tower of the lake. Rachel and Ariana looked at each other, "I'm going to gather the others." "I'll check the communication crystal again." After saying that, the two of them took action.
The old butler walked leisurely towards the Tower of the Lake Nymphs, and was stopped a hundred meters from the temple. "Please don't go any further! Otherwise we will attack!! As he spoke, he gestured twice with the sword in his hand.
"Hello, I was sent by Princess Rachel to find the deputy head of the group, I heard earlier that he had a small injury but could not be treated with jade magic, and today our light mage just arrived, so I want to show him before he goes to bed." The old butler said very politely.
"The Deputy Leader is personally treated by His Highness the Holy Maiden in the Lake Fairy Tower, if you want to go in, then please contact the Prophet and ask them to go up and report it, we have no way to contact Her Highness the Holy Maiden." Hearing the content of the old butler's words, the guards' tone did not dare to be too tough, whether it was Princess Rachel or the Light Mage, it was not something that a low-level guard like them could directly and rudely refuse.
