Chapter 55 The earth shakes, and the great war begins
One day passed, night ushered in, and when the dawn of the second day came, the entire northern frontier of the Shenyang Empire was surprisingly silent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The Rhine is out of flow?" said someone in the Rhine fortress.
On the northern frontier, the Rhine River outside the city walls, at this time, has gradually decreased, and the water level is falling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Suddenly, an ominous omen arose in the hearts of every soldier guarding the walls. The trees in the distant forest trembled, and cracks spread from one of the forests in the Clark Empire.
"Boom-" The earth shook, and countless cracks stretched from that one forest to the city walls of the northern frontier of the Shenyang Empire. In the valley of the Rhine, there used to be some flowing water, and at this time all the flowing water went into the cracks.
A blood-red fireball suddenly rose from a forest in the Clark Empire, and then turned into a fire dragon, flying along the Rhine valley at great speed. The next moment, the Rhine Valley, which had been somewhat wet, turned into dry ground.
The earth was still shaking, especially the defensive line on the northern frontier of the Shenyang Empire, and the shaking was even more violent.
The originally impregnable city walls cracked one after another, and even as the cracks penetrated deeper into the Shenyang Empire, some of the city walls broke into several sections.
"What the hell is going on?" Tucker stood on a stretch of the wall of Nuss Village, his body shaking, the earth shaking.
"It looks like there's a shaking!" shouted someone, "you see, the walls have collapsed in some places. ”
"Tucker! Sattar assisted a flagpole on the wall and held the tower back, but his body continued to shake. As the earth shook, many soldiers fell from the very high walls and fell into meatloaf because they could not stand still.
The Rhine Fortress, at this moment, a large number of buildings collapsed, and many soldiers stationed there were stoned and crushed to death. The blood-red demon fire dragon had already crossed the entire Rhine fortress along the Rhine. At the same time, the buildings on both sides of the river were on fire.
"Mysterious organization!" Dimmit stood on a platform, looking at the fire dragon flying along the Rhine River into the distance, his old face revealed an extremely uncalm ******* Divine Beast Mountains, and the thing in the Kanas Volcano Region did not know if it was safe. ”
In the Rhine Fortress, a part of the area has turned into a sea of fire due to the passing of the fire dragon, and the cries and cries for help have come and gone, making the entire fortress seem to fall into a state of despair.
At the same time, in the city of Altai, in the hall of the city lord, Horst just picked up a glass of water, and the next moment the water in the cup trembled, and the splash of water fell to the ground, forming an extremely special pattern. Along with the vibrations, there were some tables and chairs in the hall.
"What's going on?" The tremors didn't last long, but they still caught everyone's attention.
"The military headquarters urgently notified and immediately ordered the army to attack the next city, and the army of the Nas Empire will be stationed in Altai City this afternoon. Victor looked solemn, took the magic sound stone and quickly walked into the city lord's hall and said, "In addition, the military department has asked us to rush back to the Rhine Fortress immediately and participate in the defense of the northern frontier. ”
"By the way, Horst, you don't have to go to the Rhine Fortress, you can go directly through the teleportation array of the City Lord's Mansion to the garrison of the Nuth section of the Northern Frontier, where the teleportation circle has just been established, and this is the coordinates there. Victor handed Horst a piece of parchment, and Horst opened it to understand what was written on it.
In the city lord's mansion of Altai City, there is also a teleportation circle, and a teleportation circle has also been established near Nus Village, so that it can be positioned and teleported.
"You still haven't explained what happened. "This is Horst's question, and it is the same question of others.
"There has been an unexplained ground movement, the source of which is in the territory of the Clark Empire, which has caused more or less damage to the walls of the entire northern frontier. The request of the military headquarters is that our advance team withdraw, and they will send more powerful mages to participate in the war here. ”
"Didn't the Rhine Fortress say anything about what happened there?" said Saleen, a little anxious.
"The Rhine River has been cut off, the Rhine Fortress has been attacked by unknown objects, and the ground is shaking, and the entire fortress is paralyzed. Victor spoke quickly, and it was obvious that the matter was in a very urgent state, "The Clark Empire has already made some moves, and the matter has reached a very critical state, let's prepare for each other." ”
With that, Victor walked out of the city lord's hall and went back to his room to tidy up his things. Everyone understood what was about to happen and didn't say much.
Obviously, after the ground movement, the collapse and fracture of the wall of the northern frontier defense line of the Shenyang Empire will provide an excellent opportunity for the Clark Empire to attack.
Secondly, the Rhine has been cut off, which will make the whole situation worse. The Rhine River was originally a moat, which played the role of the first line of defense of the Shenyang Empire against the Clark Empire, and now this first line of defense has failed. Then it means that the entire Shenyang Empire can rely on the defense line of the entire northern frontier.
And even more unfortunately, the ground movement occurred, and this second line of defense has also been destroyed. It can be seen that the Shenyang Empire can be said to be facing a catastrophe of annihilation.
Feeling that there was still a lot to learn, Horst did not go through the teleportation array to the Nus section of the Northern Frontier Defenses, but followed the others back to the Rhine Fortress.
"You can also see that the current situation of the Rhine Fortress is very bad!" After delivering the task to Dimmit, Dimmit frowned and said, "I thought you would go back to the garrison area directly, since you are here, it just so happens that I have something to tell you." The rest of you, go and help the city defense army do some work first, and now the Rhine fortress has reached a moment of extreme crisis. ”
When Horst heard this, he knew that it was an extremely important decision for him to follow the others back to the Rhine Fortress.
"You come with me. Dimmit took Horst to a platform where he could see the entire Rhine fortress from above.
Along the Rhine, fires are raging, and people are constantly being devoured. Directly in front of the fortress, the army of the Clark Empire is gathering in an orderly manner. The ground in the fortress is more or less spread with cracks of different depths, and the buildings have collapsed badly, and people can be seen rescuing them from time to time.
In the distance, the walls of the frontier defense line have collapsed in some places, and some are broken. The Rhine has been cut off, but for unknown reasons, the Rhine appears to be extremely dry.
Horst naturally didn't know that a large part of the sight was caused by the blood-red fire dragon, and only a small part was caused by ground movements.
"The Undead Organization has been involved in the war, and this is an extremely important thing. Dimmit said solemnly, "There is also news from the summoning mage union, to be precise, the assassination of Princess Alice is also inseparable from the undead organization. ”
"You mean the Undead Organization?" Horst was stunned for a moment, then took out a medal from his pocket, "If I'm not mistaken, the Undead Organization has already planned everything, but their purpose is not yet known. ”
"This is a medal unique to the Order of the Dead?" Dimmitt was surprised, "where did you get it?"
"Nuth Village!" Horst still remembers vividly, at the time, he just mistakenly thought that the undead had accidentally dropped it when he passed through the area, and now it seems that a part of the undead organization is planning something.
"I see. Dimmit thought of something at once, "As a mage who has been in contact with the undead, I can tell you something. ”
"War, full of sin, is also full of death. Whether fighting for justice or injustice, death is inevitable. Man exists by soul in this world, and once a person dies, the soul does not necessarily die. The undead need to devour souls to grow and be strong, so war is what the undead want to see the most. ”
Dimmit's words made Horst suddenly understand many things in an instant.
Why, the Shenyang Empire declared war on the Clark Empire for so long, and there was no large-scale campaign. Obviously, there are people of a higher level, realizing something, and suggesting that the Shenyang Empire launch a large-scale campaign later.
However, now that the situation is completely unexpected, the undead organization has intervened in the war, and it will definitely attract the attention of the world.
The direct consequence is that a major war between the Shenyang Empire and the Clark Empire is now imperative, not to mention that the Nas Empire and the Shenyang Empire have reached an agreement and will also participate in this war.
War, death is inevitable. Once a major war breaks out, I don't know how many lives will stop there. And these are exactly what the undead organization wants to see the most, and no one can know what the undead organization is doing.
Their mysteries are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
The thought of this made Horst's back a little wet with sweat.
"What can we do?" Horst knew that his mana level was too low to seem to be able to do anything.
"You can't do anything, but you can do anything. Dimmit's words made Horst confused, "Your military merits are enough to meet the standard of entering the upper house, and when this war is over, the cadets of our First Mage Academy will be considered to have completed their tasks." ”
"Doesn't it take a year to be stationed?"
"If reinforcements from the Nas Empire arrive in Altai City, the situation on the battlefield will also change. You moved fast enough, and the Clark Empire didn't react, and I'm afraid it's still unclear what happened to your southwestern city of Altai. ”
Horst looked at Dimmit with some puzzlement, the military merits he had accumulated were indeed enough, and being able to enter the upper house was indeed what he wanted to see.
"The war is about to start, that's all I can say, the undead organization has been involved in the war, you better deal with it carefully. ”
