Chapter 42: Prelude to Disaster
Pedestrians on the street walked quickly on their way home with frightened expressions.
They realized the danger was coming.
Most of those people are the original inhabitants of Kutch City, that is, NPCs, who were created directly and did not have the identity of the player before. When they encounter such a thing as a monster attacking the city, they are very scared in their hearts.
Therefore, as soon as they heard that Barr was coming with the monsters, the ordinary residents hurriedly pulled their children and quickly hid in their homes.
The Broadsword guards inform adventurers throughout the city, telling them to get ready to defend the city.
Now, only the military and the people can defeat the enemy.
The adventurers all showed a full sense of justice, it was their duty to protect their homeland, and it was also their duty to fight for the race!
They're no strangers to monster sieges, which are happening weekly in other games. It's just that this game is special, and there is a real possibility that the city will be taken by monsters, because this is a real game, and that kind of thing that is too fake will not exist.
So they will do everything in their power to defend the city.
The adventurers are united, though they have doubts about Barr's arrival. Last time, I heard that Baal went to assassinate the princess and ran into a wall, but he almost buried his own life when he couldn't kill him, this time, is he killing himself again?
And, where did the legions of mages and adventurers who went to attack the Temple of Doom go before? It wouldn't have been killed, but, how could it be, how could Baal have that kind of power?
It wasn't until the adventurers came to the city walls together that they finally got to the bottom of the story... A sea of black appeared before their eyes!! The roar of the earth is rolling like a stormy wave...
The adventurers were all dumbfounded...
***
Suddenly there was a lot of noise outside, as if something serious had happened.
Gilly closed her eyes restlessly and prayed quietly.
She was ashamed of her selfishness, and in her heart she apologized to those who were going to die tragically.
However, she will not regret it, because she hates Barr so much, and her mind is full of thoughts about Bal's death! He had killed her brother, as well as many of her friends and companions, and Gillian hated Barr so much.
As long as Barr can be killed, she is willing to bear the consequences.
The Legion of Wizards takes the adventurers to clear the Temple of Doom, and the ultimate target is Baal. Gillian believes that with the strength of so many people, they will succeed. But she also knows the Dao, and she knows the strength of the Dao Bal, very powerful.
So, there will be casualties among those people.
If, if she could tell Baal that "this world is no longer just a game, and the player is really dead when he dies", then maybe he will change his ways, stop killing humans, and those people won't have to die.
Barr is not guilty, and perhaps he can be forgiven.
But if that's the case...
What about my brother's hatred? Was he killed for nothing? Doesn't the murderer need to be held responsible? That ignorant bastard, how could he do this! He must not be forgiven, never!
Gillian hated Baal, and she had to make him pay, but at the same time she needed to repent and pray for the lives that could be redeemed but not by her.
Still sitting quietly in the room, praying with his head bowed in shame.
On the white and flawless cheeks, there is a hint of wind and frost.
There was no light or brightness, only a faint melancholy.
She didn't like to pay attention to the turmoil that was going on outside, she just wanted to quietly repent of her mistakes.
But suddenly, the door of the room was anxiously opened, and Leo's tall figure walked in quickly, his handsome face was full of anxiety, and said quickly: "Gillian, come with me, the monsters are coming!" ”
When Gillian heard this, the beautiful figure immediately stood up from the side of the bed in a hurry, her snow-white face was full of shock, and she looked at Leo in disbelief, "You... What did you say? ”
"Baal is coming with an army of monsters to attack the city!" Leo said clearly.
Listening to Leo's serious voice, Gillian was immediately blindsided, and she was dumbfounded, unable to utter a word. My body felt that I had lost my strength, and as soon as my legs went limp, I sat back on the edge of the bed.
"How... How so? She asked in shock.
"I don't know what's going on with the Dao," Leo said with a frown, "I just know that there are a lot of monsters outside the city, and the leaders of several big monsters are all gathered together, and they all seem to be listening to Nabal's words, which is extremely weird. ”
Gillian was even more surprised, she barely pulled herself together, and said anxiously, "I'll go and see." With that, she prepared to go out.
However, Leo suddenly stopped her.
"Gillian, you must get out of here." Leo looked at her worriedly and said in a heavy tone.
"How can I leave, I can't run away when this happens! I have to help people defend the city! ”
"No! You must leave, I can't let you be in any more danger! Leo suddenly showed deep feelings, looked at Gillian with affectionate eyes, and said seriously: "Last time, I saw you almost die in the hands of Barr, I blamed myself very much, I really hated myself, I actually left you to face Barr alone, I really damn it!" Now, I will never put you in such danger again, and I swear to you with my life that I will protect you well! So, I have to get you out of here! ”
Leo's eyes were full of determination, but also full of affection.
Gillian could feel it, and she could clearly feel Leo's deep affection for her. To be honest, Gillian was very happy in her heart, and any girl would definitely be happy to be cared for by such a good boy as Leo. And he was treated with that kind of affection, and any girl would be moved.
In this kind of flowering age, everyone is like this.
It's just that now, Gillian doesn't have the heart to think about the relationship between men and women at all, and she only has Baal in her heart now, just that hateful guy. If Barr doesn't die, she won't be at ease for the rest of her life.
"I'm sorry," Gillian said, avoiding Leo's gaze, "I know you care about me, and I'm grateful to you, but in this situation, I have to... You have to help the people here, that's what every adventurer should do, isn't it? ”
Leo's expression is very complicated, he is willing to fight the monsters for the sake of the city, but Gillian... He didn't want Gillian to be in any danger.
"I'll take your share of responsibility on your shoulders, Gillian, and I'll stay and fight those monsters, but you... I must send you away! "Leo is still so determined.
But...
"I must not do that!" Gillian is just as stubborn, "The loss of a loved one is painful, and I don't want to see more people feel that pain, so I have to work hard!" ”
Gillian's stubbornness makes Leo helpless, maybe it's her kindness, this stubbornness, that makes him have a soft spot for her... Look at Gillian's pretty face with affectionate eyes...
"Alright," Leo finally compromised, "but you must be careful not to leave me, and I will protect you." ”
Gillian looked at Leo gratefully and nodded at him.
Leo barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
The streets were chaotic, full of people running, adventurers all preparing equipment and medicines, and everyone had panic on their faces.
The once bustling streets have now become a mess, fear is spreading in the city, the shops on both sides of the street are all tightly closed, and there is no longer that bustling atmosphere.
Gillian and Leo hurried towards the city walls.
The closer you get to the walls, the more adventurers appear.
"Quick! Prepare the supplies and utensils, distribute the healing potions to the vulnerable people, and everyone should unite..."The soldiers commanded the scattered group of adventurers.
When a broadsword guard saw Leo's arrival, he hurriedly shouted, "Lord Leo, thank you for coming to help, and I thank you on behalf of all the residents of Kutch City!" ”
Leo's Red Blood Dragons Guild is famous, and many NPCs adore him, except for adventurers who know him. It must be admirable that a hero like him can subdue a dragon at such a young age.
The arrival of a well-known figure emboldened the terrified adventurers, who all looked at Leo and Gillian beside him with reverence.
Leo said to the group, "I'm like you, this is our home, and it's our natural duty to guard it, and there's nothing to thank me for. As long as we are united, we will be able to overcome any difficulties! ”
Leo's words raised the morale of the defenders a lot.
That's right, as long as they are united, any threat can be defeated! Victory always belongs to justice! Belong to the light! Those monsters are just a bunch of brainless guys, and they're going to win!
Thinking so, Gillian and Leo quickly walked to the city wall.
Then, for the first time, he moved his gaze to the field outside the city walls...
Saw...
The black vastness of the sea, flooding all the plains.
Far away, you can hear the furious waves of the black sea, and the surging roar of the earth.
The endless field is full of monsters, and the number is unimaginable! It's a nightmare of daylight!
Looking at the nightmare in front of her, Gillian was stunned...
