Chapter 269: Reluctantly
Seeing Byford's dejected appearance, Erin couldn't bear to persuade. "Uncle, you don't have to worry too much, maybe the aunt has already left with the evacuation troops, maybe they are safe now. ”
"No, Mary won't have followed the evacuating troops, my wife I know best. Baffford shook his head, his voice a little erratic. "She once said that if there were any more monsters attacking the city, she would ......" Byford's eyes lit up, he raised his head sharply, looked around for a moment, and walked towards the east without saying a word.
"This ...... Chase. Zhang Ning smiled bitterly and chased after everyone with him.
Byford's legs were useless, and his movements mainly relied on his wheelchair, so his speed was not fast, and he was soon caught up by everyone, at this time, Zhang Ning and the others were surprised to find that they were walking towards the tall city wall.
The city wall on the left when they came in, and now they are walking towards the wall in the center.
"Uncle, where are we going?" Zhang Ning couldn't help but ask, pushing his wheelchair.
"The walls!" said Byford, who immediately returned. "Mary, they're right there!"
"Auntie, are they on the city wall?" Erin looked at the tall city wall in disbelief, where the rumbling sound was endless, it was the sound of the demon beast storming the Cosmos Guardian Cover.
If there is a place where the most dangerous place is at this moment, then it is the city wall. Because once the protective cover is broken, the people on the city wall will bear the brunt, and they will immediately face the dense demon beasts! Seeing the dense demon beasts that fill the entire sky, no matter who they are, they will gasp.
Alas, the uncle is really confused, it is so dangerous on the city wall, it is impossible for the aunt to be there!
Erin thought.
"Let's just take a break here. Mary leaned against the corner of the tall wall, looked up at the thick wall behind her, and suddenly bowed her head and prayed secretly. "God forbid, I hope I'm right. ”
Although Bedora was persuaded by Mary, her heart was still a little numb when she looked at the dense demon beasts above her head. "Mary, do you think this is really useful? ”
"Who's to say it isn't. Mary sighed and looked at her two children, their faces full of panic, confusion, and fear...... Everything today is like a nightmare for them.
"It's okay, there's mom here. Touching the heads of the two children, Mary said to Bódora. "I also know that this method is very dangerous, but this is also an option that has no choice, and I still think that this method has a higher chance of survival than leaving with the evacuated troops. Mary smiled reluctantly and took Bódora's hand. "You have to have faith in me, if my family Byford can survive, we will definitely be able to. ”......
Ratmund stood on the rampart, his young face shining with a cloudy yellow light, and it was hard to imagine that the man in battle armor was actually only eighteen years old.
Looking at the increasingly pale color of the Cosmos Guardian overhead, Ratmund sighed, and with a gesture of his hand, a soldier strode up to him and bowed and shouted. "City Lord. Although he knew that the young man in front of him was only eighteen years old, there was still a trace of admiration in the soldier's eyes.
Ratmund waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the sky above him. "How long can the Guardian of the Universe last? ”
The soldier looked up at the light mask in the sky, thought for a moment, and then said aloud. "Tell the City Lord that the Cosmos Guardian Shield can last for a maximum of thirty minutes. ”
"Thirty minutes. Ratmund waved his hand and put the soldier back in place. Looking at the dark sky, he suddenly sighed. "Father, I'm sorry. ”
The former lord of Cartel City was named Arrborough, who was deeply loved by the residents of Cartel City for his outstanding military strength in the battle for survival. Three years ago, Aberlau suffered a recurrence of his old injury and passed away forever. At the same time, because the injury recurred too quickly and suddenly, until his death, Arrbrough did not specify who would be the lord of Cartel City.
Naturally, a huge city could not live without a leader, so the day after Abrul's death, the battle for power was staged in the cartel, and many people were watching to see who would be the ultimate winner.
Three days later, the name of the new city lord was announced, and the person who served as the city lord was not the previous hot people, but a person who everyone knew well, a person they had never thought of.
Ratmund Cashes, Aarborough's son, was less than half a month old on his fifteenth birthday.
This incident caused an uproar at the time, and everyone believed that Ratmund was chosen to balance the forces in the city, and that Ratmund was nothing more than a puppet pushed by everyone. After all, no one thought that a boy who was only fifteen years old could truly take on the responsibilities of a city lord.
But three months later, no one thinks of Ratmund as a puppet pushed out by the crowd. In just three months, he first drastically simplified the staff of the City Lord's Mansion, and then even took off the heads of the two deputy city lords!
"I'm the lord of the city!"
This fifteen-year-old boy made his voice heard to the outside world with his actions.
With his extraordinary means, handsome appearance and good conversation, this fifteen-year-old boy has become the prince charming in the hearts of the girls of Cartel City.
However, at the age of fifteen, he had to deal with many old foxes, balance the various forces in the city, and promulgate many policies...... Many people wondered what kind of willingness made this young man choose the path of becoming the city lord in advance. After all, even if he doesn't serve as the city lord now, by the time he is eighteen years old, this city lord position will still return to his hands.
No one knows that the main reason why Ratmund had this choice was because of Aarbor's dying words.
"Child, Cartel City is in your hands. ”
Alwood Street is the largest arterial road in Cartel City, and it is also one of the busiest streets in Cartel City. It was on this street that Byford met Mary, and in the past, Byford always felt a lot of emotion when he walked down this street. But at this time, he didn't have time to sigh.
“...... Of the two hundred and fifty-seven men who went to sea with me, less than twenty survived, and of those twenty, I was the luckiest one, with little problems other than the amputation of my legs. Striding down the road, Byford said to Zhang Ning and them. "Do you know why I survived?"
"Because I'm in the most dangerous place!"
"Because he's in the most dangerous place!" said Mary. According to Byford, he was left on the dock after his feet were torn apart by the monster, and when he woke up, there were corpses all around, and only a few of his companions who were standing on the bow of the boat with him survived. Attention, those who survived were those who were standing in the most dangerous places at the time!"
After a pause, looking at Bódora's helpless face, Mary smiled reluctantly and whispered. "Because of his words, I found a special situation, I don't know if you found it, most of the time the demon beasts are forward, forward, and there are very few demon beasts that turn back. So...... As long as we hold on until the monster flies over the walls, we can escape. ”
"You think you'll be able to get away with it?"
