Hidden beneath the White Lion's Castle, the Hall of Whispers was originally designed to be an underground transportation hub for troops, but since Isttalon had not suffered a real fatal blow for three hundred years, the underground hall has been in a state of abandonment. 【Starter】

After being framed by the royal family and the Truth Society ten years ago, the White Lion family once stockpiled a batch of military supplies here, but in the end it did not come in handy. Ahmed led the men to rummage through some bread and bacon, which had become as hard as stone, and the only thing left to save was two cases of rum. El walked over and took out a bottle, wiped the dust off the bottle with his sleeve, and found that it turned out to be a very famous brand, probably a private item hidden by Pross.

"Are you alright, my lord?" asked Timmy, noticing that El was looking amiss, cautiously.

"I'm fine, you can find out if there's anything else you can use, and you'll be on your way in three minutes." El took the bottle in his arms, nodded to him, and walked out into the dark corner by himself.

He took out a worn-out roll of parchment from his bosom, placed it on his lap, and wrote a line of writing with the charcoal pen rolled inside the paper.

This seemingly inconspicuous piece of parchment was actually a magical item given to him by Tiana, from the Maiden's inheritance of the Tower. The handwriting written on this parchment will appear on another parchment, at any distance, but can only be used three times.

Originally, Tiana left this parchment to him in order to confirm the situation on Isttalen's side and to map out a better escape route for the refugees. After El withdrew with his troops, he could still know from this piece of parchment where to meet them. But now she can see the scene inside the city clearly from a few kilometers away, and words can't paint that kind of hell.

El thought about it and decided to waste a precious opportunity to make contact, so he wrote on a piece of paper:

"Princess Earthwalk has appeared, meteor rain has fallen from the sky, we are evacuating, please help me find Tika. ”

The parchment looked not small, but after all, El had no ink or quills at hand, and the handwriting written with charcoal was rough and ugly, and it took up so much space, so he could only write so many words on this paper.

He didn't know if Jupiter's caravan had found the refugee team led by Tiana, and he didn't know if Tiana would casually perfunctory herself, he just instinctively believed the girl and believed that she could understand his feelings.

El crouched in the corner, uncorked the bottle, and gulped down the stuffy wine and waited for a reply on the parchment, feeling that every second was incomparably long. He wanted to find out more about Apache, but the cunning kobold slipped into the safety of the tunnel early, leaving him with no interface to beat him.

"Sir, it's time for us to go. Palanti walked over and whispered, the surviving troops had already set off, and the only two of them were left in the hall, and it was suddenly extremely silent.

"You go first, Palanti, I'll rest here and catch up with you soon. El waved his hand impatiently.

"I can't take anything my father says seriously when he drinks. Palanti bit her lip, but didn't turn away, she also noticed that El was in an abnormal mood: "Sir, what did the kobold say to you?"

"Don't be so curious, little ones. El glanced at the parchment in his hand and smiled helplessly: "Your father is a very admirable hero, of course I have only heard their stories. And the old man who adopted me was nothing more than a destitute bard......"

"Sir, now is not a good time to reminisce about the past, we are not out of danger yet, and you should not drink. Palanti looked at the bottle in El's hand and couldn't help frowning, although she was not very old, she had grown up in the army since she was a child, and as a professional soldier, she especially hated the bad habits of alcoholics, and El was obviously drunk in this state now.

"The ten-year-old rum is really strong, but it doesn't get me drunk at all, but I just want to sigh suddenly. El shook his head and smiled: "Let me tell you a secret, in fact, I wanted to run after fighting those two monsters, and Antonio and I both thought that the city was hopeless." It was he who pulled me hard and told me in private, you have to take my dead-eyed cousin away, no matter what tricks you use to deceive her, you don't know how tangled that kid's expression was at that time, and he was also afraid of death......"

"Why are you telling me this now?" said Palanti's face darkened.

"Since they've all fled here, it doesn't make a difference if you say it earlier. The soldiers who remain are not so much my troops, but your personal guards. With that silver badge from your father, and with the help of Ahmed and Timmy, you can take control of this army. El said with a smile.

"You're the commander of this force!, what do you want to do?" asked Palanti, interrupting El as rudely as a furry cat, staring him in the eye.

"It's nothing, I may have some personal matters to attend to here, and from now on you will be the new commander. El shook the parchment in his hand with new handwriting, and looked closely at it by the light of Palanti's horn.

"We will retreat south from the Boulevard, the caravan has converged, Tika is missing, probably still in the city......"

"What the!" El rolled his eyes and burst out with a foul mouth, only to feel that all the strength in his body was gone in an instant. After the kobold left that ominous prophecy, he had worked hard to get around and prepare for Tika, but he could not imagine that this heartless girl still did not escape. What went wrong?

His sudden handover order had stunned Palanti, and now the sudden outburst had taken her by surprise. With red eyes, Palanti subconsciously grabbed his arm and asked with a crying voice, "What happened?" sir?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the woman in the family is lost. El stood up, rubbed Palanti's head, and said with a nonchalant expression on his face, "Obey orders, Palanti." Keep up with the troops in front and take over command. When you get out of town, go in the direction of the boulevard, and I'll catch up with you. ”

"Sir......" Palanti still wanted to speak, but El flicked a crisp pop on the door of his head, and couldn't help but scream.

El didn't say anything more, turning and walking down the hallway at the edge of the hall.

As a man, you can be cowardly, you can be despicable, you can see the wind and rudder, but there are some things that you have to do, and it is not only a matter of dignity, but also something that cannot be said clearly.

As he walked up the stairs, he could faintly hear Palanti sobbing below, but it quickly vanished. The staircase spiraling upwards was pitch black, the castle was empty, and the basement was even more empty and silent.

"It's just the two of us left. El carefully climbed the steps against the wall, and slapped his other hand twice on his chest, and little Langa's head immediately popped up.

"Ahh The Earthwalker royal family was born with the talent of psychic abilities, even if she hid in her clothes, she could understand the situation outside through El's perception, and Elle's violent psychological and emotional fluctuations just now naturally couldn't hide it from her.

"yes, yes, that fool didn't know what stupid things he had done, and he finally dropped the chain for me. El lamented with a headache.

"Tika?" little Langa bit his finger and looked at El aggrievedly.

"yes, we'll have to go find her. El nodded and said, "I know Tika must be alive, and although that girl is a little stupid, she has always had good luck." It's not a small scene......"

Turning a corner, a light suddenly appeared in front of him, and El immediately quickened his pace and rushed over. Just as he was about to rush out of the tunnel, there was a sudden violent tremor under his feet, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground with a dog gnawing mud.

El got up from the ground and looked up to see the scorched sky.

The meteor shower that covered the city still didn't stop, and thousands of meteorites in the sky fell in batches in a constant and orderly pattern, and so far only half of them had been consumed.

The castle of the White Lion Family was in ruins, and flames burned everywhere, reducing everything that could be burned to ashes.

El ripped a rag from the torn curtain in the room and covered his face, barely holding out the pervasive smoke. He walked through the ruins of the castle with his head covered and made a general discernment, and without hesitation ran towards the neighborhood where Jupiter's firm was located.

The walls of the inner city were built more solidly than the castle and miraculously survived the bombardment of meteorites. When El climbed over the city walls, he found that there were many survivors hiding under the walls, most of them were soldiers stationed at the inner city walls, and some of the city's residents. Both the nobles and the servants were scorched and miserable by the smoke from the flames.

"There's a safe tunnel in the castle, you can get out, right in the direction I'm coming!" Elle shouted to the survivors. The loud sound of the meteorite falling almost completely drowned out his voice, but under the gesture of his hands and feet, many people still understood what he meant.

Hiding under the walls does not reduce the chance of being hit by half a point. There is at least one way to survive in the Whisper Hall under the castle. Believing that he had lived up to his conscience, El ignored the hesitant survivors and threw himself off the wall.

The situation was even worse in the outer city, because the civilian buildings were mostly made of wood, which could easily be ignited by flames, and the whole city was in flames.

In the midst of that sea of fire, the war continued. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
