Chapter 524: The Last Fortress

The tall walls, the blazing flames on the walls, the sound of slashing and explosions, all make people feel refreshed during the long night.

The Iron Domain is the hereditary domain of the Duke of York, and this Iron Fortress should also be the strongest and most powerful fortress in this area.

The Iron Knights on patrol were still hunting foreign corpses, and the huge fires outside the city were already full of all kinds of corpses, monsters, locals, and refugees.

The process of entering the city is very smooth, and at this juncture, as long as you can still breathe, you probably know which camp you are.

Entering the city, Lu Ping'an and his entourage immediately went to the local Traveler's God Church.

After making sure that everything was okay inside, and that the clergy were in action, Lu Ping'an and his party breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if the God of Travelers uses space-time teleportation, there are many prerequisites.

The divine power nodes (churches) on the earth are the key, and they can only be teleported between nodes, but the premise of teleportation, the source of the transmission of divine grace, must be a strong priest.

As the god of travelers, she has a lot of divine power nodes on the earth, but most of them are old churches like Shi Lailing...... As a third-rate deity, its clergy and funds are limited, and it is not realistic for each small and medium-sized city-state to run a church with a clergy.

Those low-level nodes can only be used as "endpoints" and cannot be used as "ends".

Perhaps, to use a less appropriate analogy, it is easier to understand that it is an "airport", which is only run by the big lords of big cities, and ends ...... It's to give you a parachute, jump on your own.

"It's a token."

Lu Ping'an took out the golden Holy Emblem, which was the highest level of the Holy Son Mark, and it was indeed a common item for the tens of thousands of explorers in the Eastern Kingdom.

This contains the authority and divine power of the "God of Travelers", which can extract the power of the node leylines and carry out a teleportation in the cathedral with the help of the priest of the God of Travelers........ This consumes the foundation of the divine power of the Traveler God, and only the "Divine Sons" of the Eastern People are qualified to use it.

After confirming that the teleportation could be carried out normally, Lu Ping'an and his party were completely relieved.

He was still in the mood to inquire a few words.

"Have any other Divine Scrollers left recently?"

"There's a team of Divine Scrollers gone, and there are still a lot of wounded among them, and two teams should still be in the city, and they'll send someone to come and see them every other day."

Hearing this, Lu Ping'an also asked for the contact information of the other two teams.

Since they are all "Divine Scrollers" of the God of Travelers, then, they should all be from the East, so they can at least communicate.

There are various reasons for not leaving, the biggest possibility is that the tickets are not sold out, and the income is not enough.

Now, the city is probably home to most of the surviving lords, nobles, wealthy merchants, and powerful people in the border area.

"Is there a strong man in the region?"

"That's a lot, angel..... In the words of your Divine Scrollers, there are several strong people above the rule level."

The words of the great pastor made people feel a lot more relieved.

After counting the time, there are still nine days left before the next wave of "ships" to leave this world.

After determining the safety of the back road, Lu Ping'an finally had the leisure to take care of the situation at hand.

This incident broke out too suddenly, and although there were some consultations along the way, many things could not be finalized.

"Do most of the victims refuse to continue north......

Such a result can be regarded as expected.

As far as Lu Ping'an's idea is concerned, this seemingly mighty fortress is actually just like that...... When the whole world is about to fall apart, it is a slightly larger rock.

If you really want to survive, you still have to go to the Holy Capital.

"Do you want to go? Holy capital? It's too far away......"

"I can't go

It's impossible to get to......"

"If I ever go back to that darkness, I'd rather die here.....

But apparently, some of the victims don't think so.

Even though Lu Ping'an had sent knights to spread the "rumor" that "only if you go to the north can you be rescued", only a very small number of people are still willing to leave the city.

But the gates to the north were always open.

Every day, there are people who throw themselves into the darkness again and try to make their way to the north..... The escape path with no end in sight continued, and many warriors, wealthy merchants, and nobles took the lead in it, and there were many followers.

But more people have chosen to live in this lighted city fortress, and it is a day to be able to live.

They have been frightened by the darkness and monsters outside, and are willing to do anything as long as they don't leave the city.

The border capital is also becoming more crowded, cluttered, and filthy at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Refugees fill the streets, beggars fill the streets, the bodies are quickly cleaned up, and the refugees who are close to death are dragged away.

There is no need for anyone to hold a sign that says "The End is Coming", because it is already the end of the world everywhere.

Lu Ping'an and his party are in the best situation, at least, the lords, nobles, and wealthy merchants are there, and resources such as gold and silver, materials, and food can also be exchanged for some living space.

Lu Ping'an had no intention of concealing it, and on the premise of not causing panic, he disclosed a lot of internal information.

「..... Only by going north, to the Holy Capital, can there be hope. Here, it's still just a slow death......

Some people listened, and some people understood, but pretended not to understand.

But soon, a group of people hit the road, some of them were knights of the Order, but most of them were just ordinary people...... For those knights who made choices, Lu Ping'an chose to respect, especially the deputy head of Ben'en.

「...... I know there's little hope, but without me, they're going to have a hard time getting to the next city.....

The old knight said this, and embarked on a new journey.

Lu Ping'an looked at his back, and was also a little helpless, and in the end, he could only bless him.

"See you in the Holy City?"

"See you in the Holy City."

The old knight left, taking with him a few knights who followed him, and most of the Shi Lai Ling, who were still willing to travel at night.

And for those who stay in the local area and insist on not leaving, Lu Ping'an can only ensure their food for this period of time....... Considering the reality that a bowl of rice is equivalent to a human life in the city, this is already an extremely forgiving act.

The lord of Shi Lai Ling has completely disappeared from the eyes of the locals, he has completed the additional task given by Lu Ping'an, and he does not want to be buried with the locals.

Only death remains here? Not necessarily, no one can be sure where the safe zone will be.

Moreover, even if the city is broken again, isn't there still a survivor?

In the past two days, this last fortress has fallen into a brief calm, but everyone knows that this is only a precursor to a storm.
