Chapter 061: His City

Thick smoke billowed and obscured the blue sky like a cloud. The black www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion is like the evil spirit in the abyss, soaked in the sky, little by little, spreading towards Pompeii.

Pedestrians on the road stopped in place, looking up at the smoke that was gradually coming in, their faces full of unexplained doubts and fear of the unknown.

"When, when, when......"

The original melodious bell is like a hammer constantly striking on people's hearts at this moment, which is the urgent summoning of the bell tower in the central square of Pompeii, and for many years, it has once again resounded throughout the city.

Caesar and Alfonso glanced at each other, and at the same time their figures flashed, and they jumped up the roof, flew up the wall, and followed the shortest distance to the central square of Pompeii.

I saw that the high bell tower was already surrounded by a panicked crowd. The words of "chirp" rang out in the crowd, and everyone's face was full of uneasiness.

"Everyone, be quiet. ”

Under the amplification effect of the magic crystal, the thick male voice resounded in everyone's ears. In the square, the noisy voices instantly calmed down. Even though everyone was afraid, they still calmed down and looked up at the voice on the bell tower.

Caesar and Alfonso stood on the rooftops of the side, watching what was happening in the square.

"That person is ......"

Caesar's gaze fell on a middle-aged man in a robe in the center of the bell tower. I saw that this person had short hair, giving people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant. Caesar could feel that from this person's body, there were powerful energy fluctuations.

"This man is the lord of Pompeii, Sulla Campbell, a quasi-saint. ”

Alfonso said as he stared at the middle-aged man, but his eyes flashed with fanatical intent.

It seems that this person wants to fight with him as long as he is strong, and he is really a battle maniac.

Caesar looked at Alfonso and thought helplessly.

Of course, the city lord was not the only one on top of this bell tower, but beside him, Sisko, the leader of the Pompeii branch of the Adventurers' Guild, was also impressively listed. At this time, Sisko's expression was serious, and he looked at the smoke in the southeast direction from time to time, and his brow rose into sorrow.

"Sisko, the president of the Pompeii branch of the Adventurers' Guild, a sword-level powerhouse. ”

Alfonso followed Caesar's gaze and continued.

Caesar nodded:

"There was a relationship before. ”

Beside Sisko, there was a woman in a robe, and she was Daisy, the president of the Pompeii branch of the Mage's Guild, Daisy Furlong. ”

It was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties, and the years had not left any traces on her face, and her still beautiful face was a sight to behold. It's just that the current beautiful face is also shrouded in gloom.

"These people are the pillars of Pompeii, and most of them are his lieutenants. For example, the one who is now standing next to the city lord Sula is the captain of the Pompeii City Guard, Rose, who also has the strength of the Sword Venerable, and can be regarded as a strong man, but he is willing to stay by Sula's side silently and assist him in managing Pompeii. ”

These were the people who decided Pompeii's fate, and they were just as troubled at this time, still discussing with each other, and the dark clouds that gradually loomed over their heads also covered everyone's hearts.

Looking at the crowd that had gradually quieted down, Sula saw the sadness on everyone's faces, which was the fear of the unknown. What will happen next, no one knows.

"Don't panic, everyone, I'm the city lord Sula. ”

A thick and reliable voice rang out, echoing in everyone's ears.

"Everyone should have noticed the smoke approaching Pompeii, and I don't want to hide it from you, as far as I have heard, it is from the ...... of Mount Vesuvius."

Sula paused and looked around at the crowd, a color called "fear" spreading in everyone's eyes. The sound of discussion gradually sounded, like stones thrown into the pool, setting off ripples in the pool.

"That's right, Vesuvius is about to erupt!"

Without the slightest concealment, Sulla put the facts in front of everyone.

The crowd erupted louder, and the fear in their eyes finally came out of their eyes like seawater.

Sulla didn't continue to speak, human emotions needed to be released, and when all emotions were poured out into the final outburst, all that was left was to try to find hope from despair.

After a few moments, the chatter finally died down again. There was a tiny glint in everyone's eyes, and that light eventually converged on the figure on the bell tower.

Sulla nodded in satisfaction when he saw that the people had finally calmed down again.

"Rose, you lead the convoy to help evacuate the city's residents. Gather everyone on the high ground northeast of Pompeii to avoid the magma that could spread from the southeast. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Rose took the order and turned to leave the bell tower.

"Leaders here. ”

Sula turned around and looked at the group of strong men who accompanied him:

"Lead an elite team of Great Sword Masters and Great Magicians and above. We left the city and headed for Vesuvius, trying to see if we could hold off the lava halfway. Our mission is to do our best to save the city, which has been built by the people who live here and their ancestors have worked for generations, and if we can, please try to keep it standing for generations to come. ”

Speaking of this, there was a hint of emotion in Sulla's eyes, after all, this is also the place where he was born. Back then, with his military exploits and the power of this quasi-saint, he could have stayed in Constantine. There, he will gain status and glory that is not just "glorious and rich". But in the end, he chose to give up everything there, because no matter what, it was not his home after all, and it was not his city after all. And this Pompeii is the place where he was raised, his eternal home.

Sula bent down his straight spine towards the mighty men, and he bowed deeply to everyone and bowed again......

"Please, please, please......"

Everyone present was moved. This is a real quasi-saint, if the saint-level powerhouse is a silent deterrent, a force that cannot be used at will, then the quasi-saint is the pinnacle of the world, and it is an existence that no one dares to provoke. But such a person who stood at the pinnacle of the world actually bent his noble backbone to them.

"City Lord, if there is a place that can help you, we will definitely help, after all, there is also our business here, how can we give up casually?"

Sisko smiled heroically and said word by word. In his eyes, there was an appreciation for this young city lord who was even younger than himself.

Sula nodded solemnly, and at the same time looked back at the people under the bell tower, his eyes seemed to have the smile of everyone, he seemed to see the way everyone lived here, he seemed to condense this moment into the eternity in his eyes. And now, his sonorous words sounded again:

"Rest assured, we will do everything we can to save this city. Everyone...... I must live......"

Sula looked at the sky as the black smoke grew thicker and thicker, like a wall covering the sky.

He said silently:

"God bless Pompeii!"

These four words are not impassioned, nor are they heroic, but they are faint, as if they are being told eloquently, but they set off a momentum like thousands of troops over the entire square. Under the bell tower, everyone's eyes no longer hesitated, and hope finally dispelled fear. They all raised their fists and shouted the same words:

"God bless Pompeii!"

Sula looked at the determined figures with emotion and nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's get out of here with the help of Captain Ross, and help the elderly and children with limited mobility if you have the ability. Ladies and gentlemen, we are also going to act. ”

Sulla's order, everyone clearly knew their mission, and the evacuation and rescue proceeded in an orderly manner.

"What do you say?"

Alfonso looked at Caesar curiously, a playful smile on his face.

Caesar stared intently at the figure above the bell tower who wanted to save everything, the once thin figure also wanted to save everything, but could not do anything, and now he could do something about it?

"The lord of the castle has said so, so I have to do it anyway. ”

Alfonso shrugged his shoulders, the madness in his eyes unabated.

"What about you? Are you ready to make a move?"

Caesar asked rhetorically.

"It's up to you. ”
