Chapter 124: The Real Enemy
readx;? Although the deadliest attacks come from within, the real enemy is the demon legions that are surging in from the western wall. The huge number of low-level demons www.biquge.info the pen & fun > pavilion drowned the soldiers scattered throughout the city with their numbers, and now they are rushing towards the inner city. The soldiers who are desperately resisting are almost unable to hold on...
"What should we do now, Lord Antonis?" one of the cadets asked.
Antonis replied, "It won't be long before the Eater of Souls arrives here with its vast army of demons. The fall of the Westward Fortress is inevitable, and all we have to do is to flee here as soon as possible, lest we become a turtle in the urn of the demons. ”
"What do you mean... Do you want to escape?" the man asked in surprise, for in the Knight's Creed, there was no option to escape.
Antonis knew that if he really said he was fleeing, he would not be accepted, even if he was their idol. The Puritans, who believed in traditional dogma, were indeed a bunch of people who ate the past, as Merlin suggested. And Antonis has been in battle for a long time, and he didn't grow up in a place like the Paladin Academy at the beginning, but slowly climbed up on the battlefield step by step. What's more, they are not really going to flee from here, they also have an important mission.
"No, we still have a mission. It's a task that only we are capable of, so we must get out. Antonis replied.
"What task?"
"We must bring back the news of the total fall of the Westside Fortress, lest the Imperial City be caught off guard when it is attacked. ”
What's more, the fortress must have reported its own attack to the Imperial City at the time of the attack. If Antonis' judgment is not wrong, then a large number of reinforcements sent by the Imperial City must be on the way now. They were trying to keep the enemy at the Western Stronghold, not realizing that the current situation was so corrupt.
They will definitely be bumped into by the demon legion on the road, and in the field, the army that can completely defeat the demon legion may not have been born yet...
Once this army is finished, the kingdom of Elonir will no longer be able to sustain itself.
Realizing the importance of this task, the group decided to leave the place immediately, trying to escape the Eater of Souls and the demon army. However, having Antonis in the team made them feel a lot more relieved.
No sooner had he crossed the pile of bones outside the conning tower than Lopez met someone he would never have imagined.
"Senior Ramijes?"
Lopez asked in surprise as he looked at the person in front of him.
Although the person in front of him was not as glamorous as in the academy, both his clothes and outfit looked extremely shabby. It's just that his handsome face, despite being covered with dust, is still visible in the crowd.
If this is Ramijes' makeup technique, then congratulations to Lopez for finally finding something that can be compared to Ramiges.
On the other side, Alatina was also hugging Anne and Little Apple.
"Senior Ramijes, why are you here?" asked Lopez as he let go of Ramijes, confused.
"Ah, we're here as an advance party to check the situation, and if the Westside Fortress is really attacked, we'll immediately eliminate the courier and go back to deliver the order, so that we can drag the demons here through the Westside Fortress. ”
The words fell, and the scene was embarrassing.
After knowing for a minute, Antonis spoke, "Messenger, haven't you gone back yet?"
Ramijes replied without hesitation: "When I saw the situation outside the city just now, I told him to hurry back and say that he should be halfway by now." ”
"Oh my god," Antonis said, "the Westfrontier Fortress has completely fallen. You know what it means to fall in love completely, right?"
"Completely fallen?" it wasn't just Ramijes who exclaimed, but all the members of the advance team. Of course, they knew what the total fall of the Westside Fortress would mean, and they knew what a huge blow would be if the troops that came to support them were unable to defend themselves through the fortress. And in the same sentence, the fall of the Westfrontier Fortress is almost impossible in their hearts.
"What happened, Lord Antonis?" asked Ramijes.
"Mutiny?"
"Yes, mutiny. ”
In this case, only an interesting thing like a mutiny can make the situation worse than it is now.
"It's Merlin, he's mutinied. Antonis whispered.
"Oh my God..."
They didn't dare to discuss Merlin's mutiny too much. This is unbelievable, I didn't expect the power of the Dark Order to have infiltrated to such a point.
This news must be reported to His Holiness the Pope separately, and if it leaks, I really don't know what kind of moth it will provoke.
There is nothing more terrible than being secretly infiltrated and people not yet realizing it.
"Your Highness!"
"Holy light above, who injured Her Highness the Holy Maiden like this!"
The guards of the Holy See, who had followed the advance team, ran to the side of Alatina, and when they saw Her Highness the Holy Lady become like this, they were very indignant to be loyal to the Holy See.
Hey, can you pay a little attention to Lopez, who is more seriously injured?
Naturally, the wounded will be treated, and all the personnel of the Holy See can act as temporary battlefield doctors, so there is no need to worry about the situation of Lopez and Alatina. Despite the fact that Lopez suffered a penetrating injury...
Ramijes thought about it for a moment and decided to reveal what he had learned outside.
"When we came here just now, we had already learned from the soldiers who had retreated to the rear, and now it was completely one-sided. The demon squad led by the Soul Eater broke through one defense defense after another, and now it was basically a state of slaughter. ”
"Has it come to this point?" Antonis was also surprised, he didn't expect that the legion that had lost its command would be eaten by the demon so quickly. Originally, he thought he would be able to drag the demon through street fighting...
And at this time, the demons finally pursued here.
In the eyes of demons, paladins with the power of holy light are as eye-catching as lights in the night. If there was a paladin in front of them, they would have decisively given up their prey and hunted down the hapless paladin.
It was precisely because of this that the demon army actually skipped countless ordinary soldiers and started a surprise attack in the direction of Lopez and the others.
A shuddering sensation spread out, ripples of fear spreading through everyone's hearts.
It was like a deep cold fear that resurfaced in the hearts of everyone.
Ghost knights in armor and halberds reappeared above the heads of the demons. The black fog that surrounds it seems to announce to the world the arrival of the ultimate fear. There's nothing more exciting than a powerful opponent, especially a creature like the Eater of Souls eager to fight.
It was great to meet Antonis again.
