Chapter 116: Advance Team
readx;? It's been two days since Lopez last used a magic weapon to tell him that he was safe, so Ramijes had the news until the scout team fought fiercely in the town. Just as they were worried, the news came from afar that the Western Fortress had been attacked by demons.www.biquge.info The goddess of light sent down a miracle, alerting everyone in the Holy See with an almost frenzied restlessness.
Darkness is approaching from the west, and the light must respond.
Since a long time ago, every time a demon launches a general attack, the Light will always communicate the news of the invasion to the people faster than the messenger.
It's just that this time it's very strange.
For the Light has never been so restless. It stands to reason that the more restless the Light, the stronger the demonic invasion. Therefore, when the Holy Light had just sent down the prompt, all the people in the Holy See began to actively prepare for war. As long as the messenger from the Western Fortress arrives to confirm the news, then the army that is preparing in this way will be mobilized, and the demon will definitely not be allowed to step past the Western Fortress.
It's just that the army in a state of readiness waited for two days but could not wait for the arrival of the messenger.
Nor did the Westside Fortress send back any message of invasion.
As if the instrument had been broken, the Light was still a constant reminder of the coming of the invasion.
In an instant, those who are firm in their beliefs and those who are not firm in their beliefs are divided into two distinct factions. One of them demanded that the army be sent immediately, while the other refused to send the army because something was wrong with the Light and there was no so-called demonic invasion.
Hehe, if it weren't for the fact that the army spent their money on the expedition and the people in their family died, these people probably wouldn't have objected like this.
The quarrel between the two factions was very fierce, but it was almost indistinguishable. In the end, only one compromise could be reached, and that was to send the fastest men to the Western Fortress to investigate, and once it was confirmed that the Western Fortress was under attack, the standing army would immediately go on the expedition, absolutely unambiguous.
Ramies, who was worried about Lopez and Aratina, volunteered to sign up. Of course, the bound men who had been with Ramijes all the time followed him, and they were also worried about the lives of Lopez and Alatina.
Of course, there was more concern about Alatina.
Also on this ground were a personal guard from the Holy See.
So, an advance team of the Holy See, the Academy, and the Society set out. They were the fastest in all of Elonir, and they arrived at the Western Fortress in the western part of the kingdom in just one day. Of course, there is also a huge credit for this.
"What's going on up ahead?" Ramijes pushed away the branches in front of him that blocked his view, and smoke billowed from the Westfrontier Fortress in the sun.
The magical enchantment unique to the fortress is no longer visible, and the smell of blood is extremely strong even here. The advance team in charge of reconnaissance immediately knew the accuracy of the information. Sure enough, the Holy Light is omnipotent, and the Goddess of Holy Light must be believed.
They assigned one person back to deliver the news that the Westfrontier Fortress had been attacked, while the rest of the advance party chose to enter the fortress. Of course, these people are mainly members of the Holy See and the Society who are worried about Alatina and Lopez. There were dozens of people in the advance team, and together these two parts accounted for 90 percent of the team, and they could naturally decide where the team went.
It wasn't until they entered the fortress that they realized how serious the situation really was.
The gates were fully opened, and there was not even a single officer on the city walls. It's not abnormal, it's very abnormal!
Even if the demons have already stormed the fortress, it is impossible to leave some defenders here. There can only be one reason why there are no defenders here........ That is
The collapse of the chain of command!
Such a situation is only possible in the event of a collapse of the chain of command. That is, as soon as the soldiers found that the fortress had been breached, they rushed up to fight the enemy, but not a single person was left.
That's the case.
"What should we do now?" The captain of the guards asked Ramizes, who knew that Ramizes was the boss here, and he didn't deserve it.
Ramijes, who had become accustomed to giving orders, was still so gentle, and confidence filled his face that people couldn't help but believe in his decision.
Ramijes stood on a high place, looked towards the place where the black smoke was coming from in the distance, and said, "Who knows where the command structure is here?"
"Are you talking about the conning tower?"
"Well, the place where General Merlin is in the kingdom ramparts. Ramijes further confirmed.
"General Merlin's words, his command post is located in the conning tower. It is also the tallest building in the entire Westside Fortress. ”
"Are you talking about that building?" said Ramijes.
At the end of the view, a circular spire stood in the middle of a number of buildings, unusually tall, even a or two times as tall as the city walls. Black lightning surrounded it, as if it was about to destroy it.
"That's right, it's the Conning Tower, the tallest building in the entire Westbounds. ”
Receiving an affirmative answer, Ramijes did not hesitate and immediately drove in the direction of the conning tower. Now they are vague about the situation inside the fortress, and they can only understand everything if they find General Merlin.
Yes, everything.
On the other side, Lopez's reconnaissance team was in the rear, and there were many companions around the camp. Most of these companions were reinforcements who had been placed under house arrest in the camp at first, as well as improvised defenders. These legions helped these Heavenly Pride from the Paladin Academy to leave quickly, and they knew that their many people could not compare to the value of this reconnaissance group even if they combined, so they all tried their best to cover their departure.
In this way, the distance of the reconnaissance team was much easier than that of Antonis. Even if there is no powerful Holy Light Barrier here to purify the demons, it is purely hand-to-hand combat to fight.
However, with the Holy Light, they are also much easier than ordinary defenders.
At this rate, soon Lopez and they will be able to reach the conning tower. In fact, the reason why Lopez decided to command the tower was not only because he wanted to reorganize the defense of his troops, but more because he felt that according to Alatina's personality and his own instructions to her, the chances of her going to the tower were very high.
And she has not heard from her for so long, and the upper echelons of the fortress have an accident as expected.
Lopez fears that Alatina is also involved in a high-level conspiracy. And now, I have to go to her, and these classmates around me are the capital to save people.
"I'm sorry for taking advantage of you. Lopez thought to himself.
These people who initially questioned and hostilized Lopez, and then finally chose to be obedient under the slap in the face of facts, will eventually pay the price for their ignorance.
And in the distance, the hinterland of the demon camp.
A peerless beautiful girl in the Alluring City stood in place, staring at the billowing smoke coming out of the Westside Fortress in a daze.
She held Lopez's badge in her hand, and her eyes were full of complicated looks...
"How nice it would have been if I hadn't become like this..."
