Chapter 230: Prayer and Fingertips
readx;? A sea of black and red poured in through a small gap. Although the gap between pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is very small, the speed at which the water rushes into it is extremely fast. Thus, in just a short moment, the area near the city gate was no longer buried by demons, and turned black and red.
Countless soldiers began to flee like civilians, and the presence of Asathys overwhelmed their last courage, and the group realized that the Northern Regions was a candle in the wind, and it was time to fight for their lives. And even so, there are still some people who choose to persist and choose to stay.
Among these people were some formal talents, some guards from the Northern Regions, some priests in white robes, and some students who were still immature. The appearance of Assharis ruined the Cathedral of Irma and the Albert College, but in fact, this violent shock did not destroy much hope. Because before that, many teachers and students of this academy had spontaneously gone in the direction of the Great Wall, and the mission of the Most High Church had made the same choice.
Together, they set up a second line of defense in the blocks outside the city gates to prevent the further spread of the tide in the city. They knew that this might not change the outcome, but they also knew that it would at least buy time for more civilians to escape and get out alive.
A golden-red meteorite with a long tail flame fell from the sky and smashed into the makeshift rock wall, knocking down the creation of this mental image. It was one of the countless meteors that Assarius threw down. While these firestorm meteors kept the ogres from getting too close to the area, the meteors themselves caused great trouble for the defenders.
God knows when it will suddenly fall off his head, and if he happens to be engrossed in resisting the demon at that time, then I am afraid that I will be accidentally hit hard, and I don't even know how to die.
"Quick, there's a gap in the West Block, let a few people plug it up!" Seeing countless demons gushing out of the collapsed rock wall, a man dressed as a teacher hurriedly turned around and shouted at the students behind him. The trainees who received the order shouted yes and hurried in that direction.
Camilla is one of those students. Days earlier, Ian had informed her of the impending tide, but the girl had chosen to stay. She knew that many people she knew, including Ian, would choose to stay, so she didn't hesitate to make this decision.
She had tried to spread the word, but as a declining nobleman, her sincere admonition was dismissed by most people as alarmist and unbelievable. Therefore, she can only be silently vigilant and prepare more for the arrival of the demon tide, so that she can contribute to the northern region and save a few more people.
When the alarm bell rang out, she was among the first to respond to the call to defend the North. As an honor student of the academy, when the academy tutor organized the staff, she was assigned to the support team, responsible for supporting those areas in emergency.
Camilla had fantasized about the ferocity of the Tide countless times, and had even noticed the records of more than fifty years of history. But when the tide really arrived, she found that she still underestimated its cruelty.
Demonic tides and natural disasters are the two things that human beings fear the most. However, no one could have imagined that this time, the natural disaster actually came out of the ground and appeared directly in the city.
Maybe we're all going to die here today, right?
Camilla smiled bitterly and quickened her pace a little.
In the West Block, she remembered that the senior sister Seran she had always admired was there.
I hope she will be safe, the girl prayed silently in her heart, O High Lord, if everyone is destined to die today, then at least, let me go to the front.
A sadistic ogre fell from the sky and swooped down towards a galloping black figure. However, just as it thought its prey was unaware, it hissed and grabbed its prey's shoulders with its claws, but a silver sword light suddenly slashed across its body, cutting it diagonally in half before it could react.
"Don't find the wrong prey in your next life!"
If it had been before, Ian might have been in the mood to say this. But now, he was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to make such a joke.
After separating from Fei'er, he galloped in the direction of the upper town. However, the direction of his journey was not to the Grand Duke's Palace, but to keep approaching Asathys. He wanted to try to get to Count Bell's house beneath it. And the reason why he was so anxious was that he was afraid that by the time he arrived, the mansion would have been completely destroyed.
After all, it was too close to Asathys.
Originally, he had entrusted Lady Amanda to guard the entrance, but until Assarius had rushed out of the ground, he had not been able to feel the slightest breath of Lady Amanda, which made him feel uneasy, and he had to visit this place anyway before going to the Grand Duke's Mansion. Anyway, it just happened to be on the way.
Count Bell's mansion was no longer what it once was, and the place where Assais had sprung up was so close to here, that the rocks and lava that had fallen from its body had destroyed the manor at the foot of the "mountain" beyond recognition. When Ian arrived, he could barely recognize it as a place he had been.
All traces seem to have been destroyed by Asathys. He could hardly find anything here other than a ruin and blazing lava. Countless cracks have spread across the area, and it won't be long before the ground will crumble and fall into the lava lake below.
Ian knew that this might have been planned by the other party a long time ago, and he wanted to use this method to erase all traces. But he still refused to give up. He searched the courtyard as far as he could, and when he found nothing, he tried to reopen the entrance to the underground lab, trying to see if half of the passage inside had "survived".
The voice of kala kala rang out.
As soon as the door of the underground passage opened, a wave of heat rushed in. Fortunately, there didn't seem to be a golden red color inside, which reassured Ian a little, knowing that the passage had not yet been swallowed up by magma.
He knew he didn't have much time to stay, so he jumped down to see if there were any clues left inside. It's just that as soon as he jumped into the passage, he found that the crystal lights in the passage had long been extinguished, and the section of the passage had been blocked by the collapsed rubble.
This discovery disappointed Ian for a while. He frowned, feeling extremely unwilling. However, just as he was about to turn his head away, an unexpected discovery stopped him.
Beneath the pile of rubble that blocked everything, two human fingertips seemed to peek out of the sand. (To be continued.) )
