Chapter 176: Escape
"Found it!" Alan found the familiar disc from the pieces of meat on the ground.
"Okay, then hurry up and ask someone for help......" Alan turned his head happily, but found that everyone was a little stunned looking in one direction, as if they saw something strange, Alan followed their eyes to look in the same direction, for a moment, Alan felt like a big stone was pressed on his heart, and the joy of finding hope for escape was completely gone.
It was a huge doll's castle made of brightly colored cloth, and at the moment the doll's castle was flying in the sky, setting off the gloomy sky, which was extremely weird, and this huge doll's castle was slowly flying towards the ash castle at this moment.
"Probably not reinforcements...... Haha......" Richie looked at the strange doll castle and laughed a few times, but the students around them were silent, and a deep uneasiness covered them like a dark cloud.
"Flee now, it's not an opponent you can handle. Xiao Shiren didn't know when he had already stood on the battlements and said solemnly to the students.
"Situation...... Is it serious?" Alan couldn't help but ask, looking at the little stone man.
"To be able to control such a large castle to fly in the sky, at least he is a demigod, the ban of the God of Light has expired, and you will not be able to leave if you don't leave. Xiao Shiren said indifferently, as if he had expected such a day.
「...... Take this disc and walk quickly, give up all on the city wall!" Alan gritted his teeth and shouted to the students on the city wall, who immediately passed the news to the others.
"But it takes time to retreat, someone needs to stop those necromantic armies!" said Tyr with a frown, he relied on his command to keep the entire front from collapsing when Bard appeared, but the situation was also very urgent, and if someone retreated, it would probably turn into a rout.
"You don't have to worry about this, if it's only for a while, the Ember Keep can still help you hold it back, after all, this may be the last time the Ember Keep will be useful. The little stone man said, and then, the little stone man spread his hands flat and slowly raised them up.
Suddenly, countless stone soldiers suddenly grew on the floor, these stone soldiers wore standard armor, knight swords at their waists, and longbows on their backs, these stone soldiers immediately took over the responsibility of defense, and the earthy yellow arrow rain immediately shot towards the city wall, and suddenly, the necromancers who were densely clinging to the city wall like ants instantly lost a large piece, as if black skin peeled off from the city wall.
"Then please, Tyr, you can retreat with everyone" Alan said after handing the disc to Tyr, Eren glanced at the stone giant, obviously the stone giant had also seen the doll's castle, but they still did not flinch, it seemed that they planned to use their lives to help everyone buy time to retreat.
"What about you?" Tyr asked, frowning.
"I'll wait for Gehe. Eren stood firmly on the city wall and looked at Gohyuk in the sky who was trapped by the necromancer.
「...... Hurry up and come here. Tyr wanted to say something, but finally sighed and led the student towards the portal.
「...... Let's retreat with you. Alan looked at Cialis and Caroline beside him and frowned and said, Rowling and Richie have already protected Roland and Lilith first and retreated, both of them are no longer able to fight after using their reloading weapons, and there is no point in staying on the city wall.
Cilis shook her head gently and firmly, and Caroline, who had returned to her human form and put on her magic robe, shook her head equally firmly.
"Quick...... Gohe. Alan looked at the Muppet Castle in the distance with some anxiety, and only vaguely saw the outline just now, but in the moment of conversation, the Muppet Castle actually flew a lot closer.
Suddenly, the pitch-black ball that wrapped Ge He suddenly revealed a little dark red, like a red-hot iron ball, and in the next moment, Ge He burst out with the flames that suddenly scattered, only to see that Ge He looked at the direction of the city wall in a daze, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Alan and Caroline, who were fine, and then, Ge He used ferocity.
"Go-hyuk, quick, it's time for us to retreat!" Allen looked at Go-hyuk as if he wanted to continue fighting the necromancer, and suddenly his heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly beckoned Go-hyuk to retreat.
"Tsk!" Ge He reluctantly glanced at the necromancer who was looking at her with fear, and then she also noticed the doll castle in the distance, and suddenly Ge He no longer hesitated, and quickly flew towards Eren and them with flesh wings growing from behind him.
"......" Noro hesitated, but Abby's doll castle would actually come over unexpectedly, rather than keeping the little girl, the top priority should be to confirm Abby's wishes, of course, he didn't necessarily keep the little girl.
At this time, the students on the city wall have already withdrawn into the castle, Alan saw Ge He flying towards here, and quickly ran towards the direction of the castle, only a moment, all the students have been gone, only the sound of the battle between the stone man and the necromantic creature remains, but now it doesn't matter anymore.
"Ask to see Lord Abby. 」
Noro quickly entered the doll's castle with permission, and in the central room, the gray-haired Abby was still playing with the doll, but the one who spoke in her place had become a fox doll with a large mouth on its neck.
"The Four Realms Passage has been broken, and the suppressive power of the God of Light has been weakened enough to be broken. The fox said in a deep voice different from his size.
"So, what should we do now?" Noro asked, keeping his head down, as he turned to Abby.
"From here, you will directly enter the Magical Continent, and from now on, there will be no barriers between the Four Realms, and the ignorant will no longer have to distinguish between hell and earth, darkness and light. The fox doll said, and then the fox doll tilted its head, and a large amount of cotton wool squirted out of it, as if to mean that Abby had finished saying what he wanted to say.
"Let it be a forerunner and teach them what darkness is. Noro's whole body trembled with excitement, but he still barely managed to maintain his kneeling position, he never imagined that his wish for decades would be fulfilled at this moment.
......
With a sense of weightlessness, the students finally returned to the Magic Continent, but they were greeted by a beautiful scene that was not as beautiful as they had imagined.
The sentry posts that had been stationed were empty, and when they walked out of the valley, they saw not lush forests, but pillars of smoke burning everywhere, reaching into the sky, and in the distance there was a dark darkness that swirled like a whirlpool, which was the direction of the passage of the Four Realms.
"War...... Has it already crept in?" said one of the trainees, a little sluggish.
"Where's the Edge Fort?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the Edge Fort at the same time, and they felt a little relieved that the mechanical weapon known as the Aurora was safely parked above the Edge Fort.
However, there were flashes of light around the aurora one after another, and the surroundings of the edge fort were covered in a protective shield that emitted a glimmer of light, and huge pillars of fire continued to shoot out from the edge fort.
"We...... What now?" said the students, at a loss, as they all turned their eyes to Alan at the same time, as if hoping that Alan would show another miracle to get them out of the predicament.
"It's too close to the battlefield here, it's definitely useless to escape, we can only find a way to enter the edge fort......" Alan looked worriedly at the ash castle that was constantly attacking, the ash castle is the last line of defense, since the edge fort is attacking, it means that the Four Realms passage has been lost, and the demon clan and the necromantic group must have poured into the magic continent in large numbers, in this case, I'm afraid only the edge fort is safer, if the edge fort is lost, then there is probably no place on this continent to be safe.
"Thing...... How did this happen?" Alan asked himself with some confusion, he thought he had done everything he could, but why, why did the situation continue to deteriorate inexorably?
