Chapter 676: A Guiding Signpost

Previous Chapter

"How much longer?"

Marlene stood on the city wall, her fists clenched, looking at the scenery in the distance, her brow furrowed.

"Three hours to go!!"

Labis clutched the golden pocket watch in her hand, staring at the running seconds hand on it, now she only wished she could make time pass a little slower, a little slower. But it's a pity that no matter how powerful the alchemy elves are, it is impossible to reverse the torrent of time. So she could only watch the minutes pass by, but there was no other way to think of it.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

There was a thunderous roar in the distance, and soon everyone on the city wall could see the shining light flickering in the distant chaos border, it was really Rod's dragon roar that crossed the boundary between chaos and order, announcing his existence to the whole world. Seeing the sudden burst of dragon roar, everyone's faces showed a relieved expression, but soon, the expressions on their faces became solemn again.

Since the Chaos receded, there had been no attack on the battle line. During this time, Marlene and the others were not idle, they contacted Irene, Lydia, Leo and others, asking them to take advantage of the current vacuum of chaotic retreat to evacuate all the people behind the first line to the final safe area. Due to the retreat of all fronts of Chaos, the second front originally used to resist their invasion was basically useless. Therefore, now the people have sent their forces and began to retreat gradually. Although everyone had tried to block Chaos' attack in the first line of defense, the defense line was already in tatters. Now Chaos retreats, and it hasn't come back for so long. It would be a fool to choose to rebuild the defensive line, and it would be more appropriate to simply give up and then go to the second line of defense to regroup. Because of this, at the moment, both Lydia and the twin dragons, including Irene, have begun to choose to move backwards, leaving only a small number of men in the first layer of defense to hinder and detect Chaos. Only the Void Lord's side. There are still quite a few people left on the front line, of course, the main reason is that the magic guide fleet is too strong, and the general chaos can't stop it at all, coupled with the support of other races, making the defense line on the side of the Void Lord more complete than other places. It's also safer.

But everyone is here right now, not just for safety.

"Why hasn't the head of the regiment come yet............!!"

Anne also jumped up and down in a hurry, and the whole person couldn't stop running around. Eight hours earlier, Blue Heart had received a reply from the Canary through the guild's mailbox, knowing that they had left the Core of Chaos and were rushing back. But the thing that everyone was most worried about also happened, that is, there were too many Chaos Monsters, and now it is not so easy for Rhodes to come back, when will he be able to return to the Dragon Soul Continent. No one can say. At first, there was a lot of optimism. But now, they are getting more and more anxious, and the minutes are ticking, and the Plane Destruction Bomb has been planted, and the stabilization deadline will be passed in three hours. By that time, not to mention Rod, even Marlene and the others will have to evacuate here. But alas, until now. There was no news from Rhodes. Although Bilan's heart has the heart to ask through the guild mailbox again, the guild mailbox cooldown time is three hours. Now if the heart of Bilan is used here. Then it would take another three hours for Rod's side to reply.

But fortunately, everyone knows the problem, the guild mailbox is only authorized by the president and vice president to send group text messages, Bilan's heart, did not send it, and the canary did not respond. Others can only wait here for the results. But even so. The expressions on their faces were still very solemn and nervous, after all, until now, there was no news from Rhodes' side.

Only flashes of light and explosions from time to time still show everyone Rod's presence.

"Rhodes ............"

At this moment, Christie and Lilian had already rushed over. Anxiously looking at the sea of chaos in the distance. There were no major problems within the Void Realm, but now that Rhodes hadn't returned, they were also anxious. If it weren't for the fact that the fighting on Rhodes' side had been going on, there was no intention of stopping. I'm afraid they can't help but want to go over and see the situation.

"Two hours to go!"

Labis's voice was more like a scream at the moment, and the knuckles holding the golden pocket watch were a little pale from overexertion. She bit her lip tightly and glared ahead, as if she would be able to see through the thick fog of chaos and see Rhodes and them. And at this moment, hearing Labis's words, the others also looked uneasy and anxious, even Marlene raised her eyebrows at this time, and a little anxious emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Sister Marlene, do we really have to wait? Anne doesn't think there's a way to wait any longer!! ”

At this moment, Anne naturally did not give up and began to pick up Marlene again, after all, she is now the supreme commander here. And Marlene doesn't have the same stability as before at the moment, although in front of others, she still shows her calm side, but in fact, the current Marlene is not as calm as Bilan's heart that yawns next to her.

After hearing Anne's request again, Marlene also frowned and glanced around hesitantly. In fact, she didn't need to look at it to know the answer, whether it was Lijie or Labis, or anyone else, it was obvious that they didn't intend to sit still at this moment. And Marlene was also hesitant in her heart, to be honest, she also thought about whether to help Rhodes. But there is no order in the distance in the fog of chaos, and of course Marlene can use her power to form a part of order to dispel the interference of chaos. But if they don't find Rod, then it will be equivalent to losing their wife and losing their soldiers, and they won't be able to go back. But if they just waited here, in case Rhodes was within reach of them, but they never reached out to help him, watching him die...............

Thinking of this, Marlene didn't dare to think about it anymore, although she was calm and intelligent, she was also a girl after all. If this happens, I will never be able to bear it!!

And at this moment, a lazy voice sounded from the side.

"Don't worry, wait here."

"Miss Blanch's Heart?"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly moved their eyes and looked at Bilan's heart next to them. I saw that at this moment, Bilan's heart was still half-asleep and about to die. Just leaned against the wall casually, looking at the people in front of him.

"It's no use for you to go......... It's just a waste of time, and while Rhodes' current situation is really not good, it's not completely hopeless..............."

"Can we really just wait here?"

This time it was Lilian who spoke, and it was clear that she couldn't stand to wait any longer. And to hear the words of the heart of Bilan. Marlene also sighed inwardly. In fact, intellectually, Marlene also knows very well that this is probably the only way at the moment, and in the face of such an important situation, what she is most afraid of is hesitation. Since Rod wants them to hold on, then they naturally have to stick to it. If you want to send someone out to find Rhodes while guarding the other, then the result is not difficult to predict. But Marlene is Rod's lover after all, and it is certainly impossible to say such a thing from her standpoint. But Bilan's heart is different, her relationship with Rod is not a couple, but a relationship between a senior sister and a younger brother. So there's no pressure on her to say that.

But Bilan's next words were completely beyond Marlene's expectations.

"We certainly don't have to wait here......... Christie, I'll leave it to you, go and open a path for Rod. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Bilan's heart's order, Christie was stunned for a moment, and then, her eyes suddenly brightened with hope. And at this moment, everyone finally reacted -- yes, it was really difficult for them to find the direction where Rhodes was. But that doesn't mean others can't do the same!

"I got it........."

The girl's voice was not loud, and she was still as indifferent as usual. But with a bit of firmness. After receiving Labis's order, Christie took two steps forward, and then she raised her right hand out of thin air, and soon, with the girl's movements, a golden quill appeared in her hand. Followed by. Countless lights converged in front of the girl, condensed, and then spread out, forming a white drawing paper.

"Lillian, help me!"

"Okay. Christie! ”

Hearing Christie's words, Lillian didn't hesitate at all, just raised her hands and stretched them forward. And almost at the same time, the golden, brilliant glow of the sun fell from the sky, through the layers of mist, and enveloped the whole land. And those thick fogs of chaos also dispersed like melting snow under the light of the sun!

At this moment, the quill in Christie's hand had also quietly fallen on the scroll.

The next moment, the world changed.

The fog that was originally cloudy and obscured everyone's vision began to disperse rapidly, and with Christie's small hand waving on the white drawing paper, soon, a path in the clouds appeared out of thin air, and the light of the sun illuminated the path ahead, bringing the guidance of the position marker, and at the same time dispelling the dark haze.

The path ahead is opened and stretches forward.

But Christie was nervous at the moment, because she didn't know where Rhodes was, and it was true that her demon god power could transform the picture into the reality of the world, but at the moment Christie felt very difficult. She could feel the impact of chaos on order, and Christie felt as if there were many people holding her hand and forcing her out of her track. That's why she needs Lilian's help, and even with the Dragon of Light by her side, Chaos is still in Christie's way.

I want to meet Rhodes......... Rod............ Will definitely be back!

Gritting her teeth and bearing the pressure of chaos, Christie finished the final stroke on the canvas in this way.

In an instant, a path appeared in front of everyone, and then, as the fog cleared, they saw a huge, pitch-black figure emerge from it.

The dragon stretched its wings and roared through the sky. (To be continued......)
