"I've been here before!" Seeing the familiar scenery, the fire finally reacted.

A long time ago, before Cologne Castle was built as a fortress and was just a small town at the foot of the mountain, the Hermit's Lake was just a lake in the forest on the outskirts of the city, and only wealthy people would build holiday villas on the shores of the lake. In other words, it was once a noble quarter.

After the construction of the Fort Colón Fortress, not only did the Old Town lose its popularity, but the Hermit Lake was abandoned by the nobles and relocated to the safer and more beautiful Upper Town. And the houses left here are rarely inhabited.

The Hermit's Lake, which is not usually popular, looks a little eerie, but for this team, it is a place where they can finally breathe a sigh of relief. No popularity means no ghoul hordes, and compared to the real hell outside, it's nothing at all.

"What the hell is called!" Luo Yu said dissatisfiedly.

The forest was a little too quiet, but in comparison, the sound of the fire was a little abrupt, startling everyone who was on guard.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Agni scratched his head a little embarrassed, "But this place suddenly remembered me, and this is where I started the Sky Ranger legacy. Speaking of which, that senior lives here, maybe I can meet him again! ”

The Hermit's Lake, which had been a place of lack of sunlight during the day after the construction of the Cologne Fort Fortress, was now even more eerie under the eternal night sky of the abyss. Those villas in the woods were not visited by many people in the first place, and now there is no trace of people.

Luoyu looked around, and then said angrily: "Even if someone lives here, they will have already gone back to the Shangcheng Fortress, who would be so bored until now." ”

"That's just as well." Agni nodded.

Listening to the gags of the two, the people in the team couldn't help but relax, and their spirits were not so tense.

Alan stepped forward and asked, "Paimon Knight, how far is the passage to the Hermit's Lake?" ”

As a noble knight, Eren didn't know as much about the lower city as Paimon, and although he knew that the entrance was nearby, he didn't know the exact location.

"It's not far away, around the lake, along the river, just below the waterfall." Paimon said.

"Isn't this entrance going to fall too?" Eren was a little worried, since they started their activities in the lower city, they had seen the fall of the entrance several times.

The sanctuary of the upper city has a large number of entrances, all of which are guarded by elite knights, and in the event of an invasion, these entrances can quickly evacuate the civilians of the lower city to the heart of the mountain. The entrances are usually cleverly designed, and in the unfortunate event that they are discovered by the enemy, it only takes a very simple operation to completely separate the shelter from the lower town.

Of course, if you do this, the entrance will no longer be usable, the enemy will not be able to enter, and the people inside will not be able to come out of here.

"There is no anomaly here, and in such a remote place, it is difficult for the Abyss army to notice, even if it is a ghoul, it is difficult to form a scale." Paimon said, "Unless...... Something goes wrong inside the shelter, otherwise it will be fine. ”

Paimon wiped the sweat from his head and looked back at the crowd. There were not many people left who were still fighting power, including his own five knights, eight guards, eleven clergy, and twenty civilians, including Sanny. With the drastic reduction in the number of combatants, there are also a large number of casualties among the combat-incapable civilians, and while some young men can also wield swords, their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning when facing a large number of ghouls.

The long battle made everyone very tired, especially the old and weak and female civilians, whose physical strength was already greatly overdrawn, and they would fall to the ground at any time and never get up again.

Paimon hesitated for a moment, then clapped his hands and ordered, "Rest in place for two minutes, you can get water from the lake, but be careful not to drink too much to affect your actions!" Hold out a little longer, just enter the shelter with food and hot water! ”

There was water and food in the makeshift stronghold, but it was naturally impossible to carry it in the event of an escape, and all of them had no extra weight to carry except for the necessities of the battle. By now, everyone's thirsty throats were smoking.

Hearing Paimon's order, everyone immediately relaxed, and the civilians rushed to the lake and began to drink water, regardless of whether it was clean or not. The soldiers rested in place, which was also considered to be on guard, except for two or three guards to carry water bottles to draw water.

For the fighters, they will also carry water and food in peacetime, and the weight loss methods of the fighters are varied, and the weight is naturally not comparable to the aborigines, so the rain and fire take out the things they carry to supplement their hunger and thirst, and the same is true of Florent, the warrior who has not spoken much.

"Is your physical condition monitoring still normal?" Luoyu asked. She didn't lose her demeanor when she ate and drank at this time, and she tasted it in small sips.

"Hmm......" Agni turned on the monitor and looked at it, and then said, "It's still much higher than the cordon, but because the battle is too tense, the body's endocrine state is a little too high." ”

"If only I could keep going." Luoyu nodded.

"What about you?" Agni asked.

"......" Falling rain said goodbye, "Don't you think it's rude to ask a girl about her physiology?" ”

The corners of Agni's mouth twitched, and he wanted to complain. Isn't it normal for me to ask me again??

Agni was choked for a moment, and then decided to change the subject: "It's been so long, I'm afraid many people's physical condition has reached the limit." Uptown will only have fewer and fewer players who can hold out. ”

Luoyu glanced to the side, and then said, "You can go and ask him about his condition, these players should be similar." ”

She was referring to Florent.

Agni heard this, straightened up from the trunk of the tree he was leaning on, and walked over to Florent.

Although Florent didn't like to communicate with outsiders very much, and he didn't speak very well, since Agni asked him, he was not pretentious, and happily told Agni about his situation, and then asked a few questions, and Agni answered them one by one.

Agni beckoned to Florent, then returned to Falling Rain.

"How?" Luoyu asked.

"It's already on yellow alert, and according to him, he's been in the game early, and he's been there for more than twelve hours now. If it was usual, he would have gone offline to solve the problem, and now he is a little worried about the physical condition of himself and his companions. Agni relayed Florent's words.

"If we wait for the European companies to solve these problems on their own, I'm afraid many players will have to hold on for more than 20 hours, and I doubt that there will be a few people left by then." Luo Yu whispered.

"Those friends of mine are probably ten hours old, and I don't know how they're doing." Agni said, the rest of the Black Tulip Brigade are big men, and it doesn't matter if you put up with it, but for Minter and Amelia, I'm afraid it's not so easy. Especially Amelia, who is just a little girl with a leg ailment, worries him a lot.

"As long as you enter the upper city, you can speed up the progress, although there is a problem with ghouls in the upper city, but at least it is not as rampant with monsters as in the lower city, and it is much easier to deal with." Falling rain said.

Agni nodded.

He had experienced the chaos and danger of the lower city, and although the warriors did not really die, those hellish scenes also had a great impact on people's psyche, so Agni did not want to have a similar experience at all. Think about it, how many battles have you had along the way? Agni himself was too much to count, and now that he was only one step away from a relatively safe place, his mood relaxed.

"Ah!!h

However, at this moment, a clergyman suddenly screamed, and the sound of wings fluttering sounded, and the man was obviously caught by something.

Demon?! Everyone was startled and looked in that direction.

However, one figure moved one step ahead.
