Chapter 55: Difficult Choice
"If God needs these apostles to complete the task of destroying the royal capital, we should let them be destroyed, right? Otherwise, against God's will, what will we do with ourselves when God does come?" asked Julian rhetorically.
"But this statue has just killed several of your companions, and is still attacking the Royal Mage Tower. And your attack just now is effective, obviously you have broken its arm...... "Although Laura herself has been in a state of confusion, it is because she does not know how to save the situation, she has never had Julian's thoughts: give up the royal capital.
"Do you want to go against God's will?" said Julian, looking at Queen Laura with an unkind expression.
"I ...... No. Laura lowered her head from the other party's forced gaze.
"Some people die, it's because they didn't pass the test of God, just like the apostle's punch just hit the tower, and I dodged it, and they didn't dodge because they were too weak. For them, I can only express regret. But if they are not strong in some way, who are they qualified to serve the gods?" said Julian, pointing to the people in the city who were running around, "These people are weak, and we cannot help them. Originally, I thought it was some kind of disaster that happened in the royal capital, but since it was a purge that included the entire continent, then they must have nowhere to go. ”
Laura saw that on the edge of the wall below, the tall tree people leaned their bodies against the wall and smashed the masonry with their arms, and the demonized beasts could use the treemen's body as a ladder to climb the wall and engage the soldiers guarding the wall. Until now, the city's defensive shield had not been activated, and Laura knew that it was too late to hold the city under the constant onslaught of demonic beasts.
Julian said: "The king can't even hold it today. If a similar situation had happened in other cities, the outcome would have only been worse. However, the destruction of the city is not the most important thing, the undefended farms and fields outside the city are the most important thing. The first condition for feeding these people is to have food to eat. Now the farmland and orchards have been destroyed by the apostles summoned by the gods, and it is impossible to feed many people if they are saved. ”
"So what are we going to do?" asked Laura.
"You should go to the palace now, there should be a lot of food and supplies in the palace's warehouses, you need to gather a team of strong men, take all kinds of resources with you, we can find the overseas islands with relatively few threats to live temporarily, and wait until this purge is over, and then come back to manage the country." Julian said.
"What about the others?"
"Who else?"
"Those nobles, merchants, commoners......"
"You can't take care of that much, and under such divine punishment, they are actually sinners and do not deserve your sympathy. Julian's expression was flat, and he continued, "Actually, we don't need sympathy, but who would sympathize with us?"
"But what sin did they commit that deserve to be punished like this by God?"
Julian laughed and said, "God has to judge, what can we say?"
You have always been a resolute person, although you are young, but you do not hesitate to do things, and at this critical time, do not lose your merits. ”
"And what are you going to do now?"
"Since the gods are going to demolish the Royal Mage Tower, let the Royal Mage Tower be destroyed. I will ask the surviving mages to organize their belongings and find a place to take refuge. ”
Julian took out a ring and placed it in Queen Laura's hand. You can reach me with this ring, when you're ready. I'll come and take you and your chosen ones. Now that the City of God has been destroyed, it's up to us now. ”
Laura saw Julian fly towards the Royal Mage Tower again, and he used amplification magic to say something loudly to the mages, but Laura didn't listen at all at this time.
Although she has always longed for power, it is also her desire to build a beautiful and strong country, and she has always hoped that she will be stronger than her father. But now the brutal truth is in front of her, and her country is about to be destroyed. And she herself will run away.
She couldn't imagine that if one day she returned from a place of refuge, there were still survivors of the land, and she would have the face and reason to consider them her subjects.
Julian's shouts below had an effect, and some of the mages obeyed his command and flew back to the mage tower and the kingdom's magic association, which had not yet collapsed, to salvage those important belongings.
But there were also some mages who were unwilling to follow Julian's command, and they remained stubborn, but in vain attacked the stone statue. Among them was a figure wearing a blue mage's robe, this was Rea from the Tower of Ice.
Her ice spells have very limited effect on the stone statue, whether it is the body of the stone statue or those vines, even if it is frozen, it will not affect the action much. But she kept hitting the stone statue's joints with ice magic, as if hoping to slow it down.
Originally, there were at least a dozen mages doing the same thing as her. But after Julian intervened, at least two-thirds of the mages left.
However, Leia did not argue with the others, and firmly and stubbornly hit the stone statue with one spell after another.
The stone statue approached the last undestroyed magic tower, the Tower of Ice. The rhythm of Leia's release of her magic suddenly increased, and her power increased. Queen Laura knew that she must have used some kind of secret art, but it couldn't have come without a price.
Leia's secret technique really worked, she created the freeze much faster, and the speed of the stone statue was naturally delayed, but for the huge stone statue, this effect was limited after all, and its huge fist finally landed on the Ice Tower.
The Tower of Ice didn't last longer than the other magic towers, and after a few punches from the stone statue, it collapsed as well. After destroying all the magic towers, the stone statue suddenly turned around and punched Rhea, and the vines coiled around its arm suddenly grew and swept towards Rhea like a thick whip. And Leia may have been a little slow to react because she ran out of strength, and she was actually hit by the whip and sent out by the volley.
Laura exclaimed when she saw Leia flying under her, and hurried in her direction, and a few minutes later, found her in a pile of rubble.
The stone statue's attack was so powerful that Leia's shield was broken and her body was discounted from her waist.
When Laura saw her, she was already angry, but the spiritual power of the great magician supported her, and she could still stay awake for a moment.
Laura took her in her arms and asked softly, "Why did you do this?"
