Chapter 55: Bad News and the Choice of Survival
At the moment of the great enemy, Schaumberg, Susan, and the Marshallese Grand Duke of Darlintan had gathered in the royal city of Padya, where they had not rested for days and nights, and anxiously awaited the news of the battle ahead.
There is no doubt that the disappearance of the Baroque has put a lot of pressure on them, and in the face of the Holy See, which has the backing of demigods and true gods behind them, in fact, they all know in their hearts that this is just a mantis arm. Because even if the Papal forces were defeated, only their chosen warriors would be in the skies above the city of Padya, and the options left for the Paddington Alliance would be very limited.
Susan has a belief in her heart...... Although the bizarre disappearance of Baroque is extremely disturbing, she still firmly believes that Baroque will definitely return at a critical time. And Schaumberg also had a certain indescribable confidence in the Baroque............ Because he is almost equivalent to watching Baroque grow from an ordinary slave to a hegemon, a demigod existence in the Megatron Continent. Unconsciously, the belief that Baroque can solve all problems has been erected in my heart. It was the two of them who held on to the pressure and chose to resist the invasion of the Holy See.
And the Marshallese Grand Duke of Dalintan did not have such confidence. In the past, it was because of his status as a baroque demigod that he wanted to take refuge under his command. But when the true God appeared in the Holy See, and the Baroque disappeared without a trace, I didn't even know whether it was dead or alive. Naturally, the Grand Duke of Marshall would have other ideas, after all...... He was not willing to accompany the stubborn Paddington and the Hanseasa to their deaths. But at the moment, Schaumberg and Susan were too strong, and those fierce and fierce orcs were eyeing him on one side, so he did not dare to act rashly for the time being.
When the wait finally came to an end, the scouts sent back by Muru brought news of a great victory, and Schomberg and Susan breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled happily. But the Grand Duke of Marshall still frowned, and said melancholy: "Don't be too happy, although we have defeated the Holy See army, but if their demigods make a move, we have no power to resist." Regency Schaumberg, Your Excellency Grand Duke Susan. I'm going to propose again...... Since we have won once, let's take advantage of this favorable opportunity to make a choice, everyone has already seen our strength, whether we are to join the demonic forces. Or the Apocalypse Holy See, it will be reused enough. If he continues to fight so stubbornly and provokes the true god, it is not unusual for him to destroy our three countries. This is not a time to be selfish, but to think about our subjects. ”
In all fairness. There is nothing wrong with the words of the Grand Duke of Marshall. Schaumberg was silent, and Susan's reaction was somewhat violent. She had already betrayed Baroque once, fed up with the pain of being ignored and separated. Although Baroque is now missing, and it is not known whether he is alive or dead, she vows that there will never be a second time. Especially the inexplicable disappearance of Baroque, and if something happens to him as a demigod, it is obvious that the culprits are only the demonic forces and the true gods of the Holy See. Susan didn't want to take her children to join the Holy See, so that Norrero, Nuel and Baur would grow up. When asked about the cause of her father's death, she couldn't face the children—————— yes, although she refused to admit it in her heart, Susan had the worst premonition, Baroque...... Something is likely to have happened!
The three-person party finally broke up, Marshall strode away with a cold face, and Schaumberg stared at Marshall's strong back with a worried face, not knowing what he was thinking. Susan didn't notice this, and returned to the magic academy in solitude. She lives there with Celine, as do Hilda and Yvonne. After learning that Baroque was missing, the women took the children and returned to the Padya Academy of Magic from the Duchy of Hanseas.
Don Wolf Morningstar and Thunderhawk Evian left abruptly a few months ago, and no one knew what they were going to do. Only the other three wolves. Eternal night, hot day, Aurora vaguely guessed something. But because they left Baroque too early, they did not follow Baroque through the baptism of demigod power. By this time, their power had been linked to Norero, Noel and Baur. It is no longer associated with the Baroque, and it is not clear what happened to the Baroque. But it can be seen from the panic and panic of Morningstar and Evian as they leave. There must have been a big change in the Baroque.
In the past, the Baroque had often left, but this time it was very different. In the face of the great enemy, he still did not show up, and naturally, several countries and beast tribes of the Paddington Alliance became panicked, and this made people really realize the huge role played by the Baroque............ He is not a god, but like a god, he gives people a sense of sustenance and security. When this sense of security is lost, it can be confusing and extremely unsettling. Even a big victory on the front line has not reversed the spread of panic and commotion among the people.
To add insult to injury, in this situation, the Annoyed and angry Heavenly Apocalypse Holy See finally tore its face. That night, the citizens of [Padea City], who were already asleep, were suddenly awakened by a loud bang, as if rolling thunder continued, but the sky was still clear. Outside, the streets were full of neighing and neighing, and a large number of troops were running and mobilizing in all directions, and cavalry were shouting on the avenues, strictly ordering that no civilians should come out of their houses, and if they violated, they would be killed on the spot!
The citizens of Padeya, who had not slept all night, hid in their houses and shivered, until the next morning at dawn, when they cautiously opened the door and went out into the street to check what was going on. Soon, a shocking news came—————— the four walls of the tall and sturdy city with a radius of dozens of miles and protected by a magic array had all collapsed and razed to the ground. Just outside the city, in the vast clearing, the ground caved down to form several huge words————Surrender, or die!!"
What can cause such a terrifying scene, except for demigods or true gods, even a hundred saint-level warriors combined can't do it at all. This kind of thing can't be covered up, everyone knows that the gods of the Holy See have made a move!
In the midst of the confusion, Schaumberg and Susan met again in the Imperial City, but the Grand Duke of Marshalles was nowhere to be seen, and the two realized that it was not good, and hurriedly sent someone to look for it, but they received the worst news: the Grand Duke of Marshallese immediately led the soldiers of the Duchy of Dalintan out of the city of Padya after seeing the big words outside the city.
There is no doubt that the Dalintans flinched. Susan was furious and prepared to send men in pursuit, but was stopped by Schaumberg. "We should not be concerned about this now, but should immediately inform General Muru of the front line about this news. In case Marshall secretly sent people to the front, then the soldiers of Dalintan on the front line were likely to defect. That would be a disaster for us!"
Schaumberg's fears were all right, and they were immediately fulfilled! A day after the threat of destruction of the city of Padja, bad news came from the front............ General Muru led the army in the second battle with the Holy See army, and when they were evenly matched, the Dalintan soldiers in the army suddenly rebelled, which caused confusion in the military formation, and was crushed by the Holy See army that seized the opportunity. More than half of the more than 100,000 troops were killed or wounded, and only tens of thousands escaped, including General Muru, and most of the commanders were either killed in the rebellion or captured by the Holy See. Paddington's eastern defence is completely rotten!
Upon hearing this news, Rao was also furious with the calmness of Ischaumberg, because if Marshall had just had the intention of betrayal, he would not have had time to convey the order to the front-line Dalintan soldiers. And at this time, the Dalintan soldiers rebelled, and it was obvious that Marshall had betrayed before this, and even he had already secretly colluded with the Apocalypse Holy See to launch this raid.
At this point, they had no time to think about anything else, and Schaumberg and Susan immediately prepared to mobilize all the troops they could muster to stop the onslaught of the Holy See. And Schaumberg's young son...... That is, the king of Paddington was entrusted to Celine, and asked Celine to leave Paddington early with her Baroque sons and take refuge in the orc settlement at the foot of the Kundu Maya.
The bad news came one after another, and before Celine could leave with the children, the Duchy of Hanseasa received unfavorable news that it was counterattacked by Audria's army and fell into a bitter battle. Even the foothill tribes' settlements are also under attack from the sudden increase in troops to 500,000, almost pouring out of the nest of the grassland beast tribes. Rao is Tulayan, they are fierce, and they are beginning to be unable to support it.
For a time, the forces created by the Baroque were in danger of total annihilation!
At this moment, an existence from the demonic forces came to the city of Padya, appeared in front of Schaumberg and Susan———— the strange skeletal face of the Shadow Skeleton King was covered in a burqa, let out a hoarse low laugh, and said: "Your Excellency, it's time to make a choice! I can tell you a very unfortunate news, when our Abyss Continent came, Baroque accidentally fell into the Thunder Sea, and the bones were lost and the soul flew away, and your last hope is gone!"
Susan's eyes went dark and she almost fainted! )
