Chapter Ninety-Five: The Night of Sin
readx;? The disappearance of one or two classmates who never showed up didn't make the proud Paladin Academy scout team realize anything, they should eat, they should drink, all they lacked was to walk outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although it is not forbidden to go out, for fear of being attacked, the personnel who go out to buy goods are determined by lottery.
But on this day, the person who drew the lot was stopped at the gate.
"The regiment commander has an order, a curfew will be imposed from today, and all personnel are not allowed to step out of the camp!"
The unusually resolute attitude of the guards eventually forced the students to back down. There's no need to flip the face with your teacher over some snacks, and even more so that here they are soldiers. They were taught by the academy, and it was their duty for a soldier to obey orders.
So the camp gradually returned to calm.
However, this did not mean that it was really peaceful, and on the night of the curfew, a torrent of red and black energy hit the town's barriers. Under normal circumstances, the invisible defensive barrier was smeared under its impact, and the sparks generated by the violent collision of energy slipped from the semi-circular barrier, lighting up the entire pitch-black night sky alive.
The huge commotion attracted the attention of everyone in the town, including the reconnaissance team and the city guards who were under house arrest. The local self-government was not in the white building where the reconnaissance team was stationed, but in the southern part of the city, near the end of the desert.
This is also the direction of the attack. In order to protect itself, the government concentrated all the city defense forces here. Although it is absolutely impossible to break the magic barrier created by the magic master according to the strength of this torrent of energy, it is necessary to have the necessary army just in case.
Naturally, they ignore the Paladin's Scout, as they are not under their control.
Just when the entire city defense army was waiting for the demon to retreat, there was a problem in their rear.
The magic tower, which symbolizes the core of the enchantment, suddenly explodes, and Mayor Kate's heart is suffocated by the skyrocketing flames and dancing rubble.
"Let's go and see what's going on in the rear!" Kate waved anxiously, beckoning her men to take a look at the rear. Although the attack in front of us continues, it is clear that the magic tower is more important.
"Yes!" a group of men rushed to the scene of the accident, unbeknownst to them, and because of this, they escaped.
"Sir, look what that is!" a shout came, and Kate looked up at it, and found that many dense black shadows appeared under the shadow of the beam. Some of the shadows were flying in the air, some were lying on the ground, and in short, none of them were humanoid from here.
"That's a demon. Kate said uncertainly.
"I hope not. His men clasped their hands together and prayed that it wasn't an attack from the demons. Still, he always had an ominous premonition. This hunch had always wanted him to get out of here, but he felt that leaving here was an act of desertion, so he didn't leave.
However, he soon regretted that he had made this stupid decision.
I saw that the barrier against the demonic beam in the canopy suddenly began to flicker like a light bulb that had not been contacted.
This is not only the subordinate with amazing intuition, but even Kate's heart is panicking.
However, the reality did not disappoint his expectations, and the barrier became weaker and weaker, and gradually became transparent to the point that it was about to disappear. But even so, it continued to fend off enemy attacks.
"Phew, thank you to Grand Wizard Kane, for giving us such a sturdy barrier. ”
"Thank you, Master Kane"
"Thanks"
All of them are thankful to the magician who built the barrier for the town.
However, the master is already a person of the past after all. He wasn't here, and he hadn't been able to anticipate what would happen to his enchantment that would eventually cause it to collapse. In other words, it is unrealistic to ask one person to solve something that will only happen in the future.
Yes, this question, the energy supply point from the enchantment.
That is, the magic tower that has just exploded.
Kate had just sent a team to investigate at the same time as the explosion had occurred, and it was not too far from here, at least not in the center, but in the southern district like the government. But the concern was that the team knew that it had not returned, and that, looking from here, the magic tower in the night sky was still burning, and it didn't seem to show any signs of resolving the matter.
"Boom!" came the loudest explosion. With the exclamations of everyone present, the magic tower fell diagonally like a tree blown by a typhoon.
"It's over"
In the midst of the chatter, countless cracks appeared at the point of contact between the barrier and the energy beam, and then just a second later, the terrifying energy beam broke through the barrier and rushed straight towards the place where he stood.
"Quick~Run~!" With just one last shout, the red-black pillar of energy hit where Kate was standing.
However, the enchantment didn't seem to consume much of its energy, and when it hit the ground, not only did it destroy the paladin who hit the center, but a shockwave full of demonic energy spread out in all directions centered on the landing point.
Most of the assembled city defenders were turned into a piece of loess under our feet in this unexpected attack.
"It's over!
As the barrier shattered, the demons outside who were waiting in the shadows bared their fangs and rushed in the direction of the town. These low-level demons, who serve as cannon fodder on frontal battlefields, do not have too much intelligence, and their only idea is to kill all humans, so they are also the most effective butchers against civilians.
The town's patriarch, Svein, was on the verge of exploding on his own luck during the destruction, and he was unharmed except for a momentary stun.
He stood up from the ground and gently smoothed out his clothes that had been shattered by the explosion. He looked up and looked around, and the roar of the demons unsurprisingly reached his ears. He was aware of the danger and knew that at this time everyone should fight.
"Rise, young man! We're going to fight. He took his sword and pulled up the soldiers who were groaning on the ground, who, like the Patriarch, had only been lightly wounded, and now, when the demons had stormed into the town, they had chosen to fight!
Not surprisingly, the remaining city defenders will be killed or wounded in the demonic siege.
"It's coming......," Antonis sighed, having been locked up here for two days with his two children. The time was so long that he almost doubted the accuracy of his judgment, maybe the demons had a high IQ, but this time, it was the wisdom of the human race that triumphed!
After destroying the remnants of the city defenses, the demon army rushed to the houses in the city. The civilians hiding inside had no power to resist but to obediently accept their butcher's knives.
Screams rang out one after another in the bustling town, and it seemed that all the forces had forgotten about the existence of the reconnaissance group.
It was a bloody night.
This is also a night of sin......
