In the current Overwatch City, the situation Felix spoke of is extremely common.

Upheaval in living conditions, fear of the unknown and death, and extreme distrust of rulers and administrators...... Factors like these stack up and mix together, and ultimately contribute to the sensitive and fragile nerves of the residents of Overwatch.

Under such circumstances, the residents showed very strong resistance and resistance to the relocation proposal put forward by the Dawn Society, coupled with the deliberate incitement of some members of the Black Sun Society who remained and hid in the city, the difficulty of Felix and the others became even more amazing.

In some urban areas, there are even bad rumors that the so-called relocation is actually tricking people out of the city to be dealt with centrally, and if the Dawn Society only deals with the residents who further spread these rumors, and fails to really find out the source of these rumors, the situation will only get worse.

"However, there is some new development on Mr. Darthville's side...... He has been contacted by several local guerrilla groups that had previously roamed the vicinity of Overwatch, and many of these groups are said to be miners from the Rock Lake Mine, and former residents of Overwatch. ”

Felix smiled: "If the Dawn Society can establish a stable relationship with them in the future, and even cooperate, then our persuasiveness to the residents of the city will naturally be enhanced, after all, the blood ties of the locals are close enough, and the explanations from relatives and friends are easier to convince them." ”

"Ha, I knew you would always find a way."

Mayer nodded happily: "By the way, Felix, how are the statistics of those wandering orphans in the watch city doing?" ”

Felix replied, "It's almost done, but the numbers keep increasing, and yesterday morning we found a dozen children in an abandoned sewer." ”

"All alive?"

"Three of them are sick and have been handed over to the healers...... The rest were fine, but it was too cold in the sewers, and their frostbite was a bit severe. ”

Felix has always been extremely caring for children, and many people in the Dawn Society have seen Felix's behavior when taking care of children, and that gentle and patient appearance makes it impossible to associate Felix with the identity of the leader of the Sword of Dawn.

"It's not easy for these children, most of their parents and families have disappeared in the purges of the Black Sun Society, and the longest one has been hiding there for more than two months."

Meyer raised his eyebrows with interest: "It sounds like that kid has become a little leader?" ”

"Perhaps."

Felix put down the glass of water in his hand: "Half-grown boy, cautious and clever, although he has returned to the station with us, his trust in us is still limited...... This kind of child always prefers to believe in his own eyes. ”

Meyer shrugged: "Then do our own thing, let him judge the rest, and when those children recover a little, they can also help us." ”

"Help? A group of kids? ”

The elven mage Hetra pursed his mouth, unlike Felix, he was most afraid of children, especially half-grown children: "Mel is on top, I think it would be nice if they didn't make trouble." ”

"Don't forget the problem we're facing, Mr. Advisor, these kids are much more persuasive than the miners' guerrillas!"

Meyer laughed, and then his gaze fell back onto the metal cane in front of him.

As an ordinary person who couldn't cast spells, it was the first time that Meyer felt the call from magic so clearly.

Those flowing lusters, those light and shadows like water...... There seemed to be a strange sound faintly coming from among them, and some strange rhythm appeared, echoing in Meyer's consciousness.

However, when Meyer tried to grasp this wonderful rhythm and rhythm, they slipped away at great speed.

Then, no matter how hard Meyer tried, the sound was like the sound of a tidal wave from far away, unrecognizable, and only vaguely felt.

The elven mage was keenly aware of Meyer's situation, so he explained, "I guess, Professor, you should have heard that, right?" That's the tide of the Sinar Sea, a phenomenon that only exists in the theory of magic, and only when the magic is pure enough and highly condensed can it resonate with any living being, no matter how much magic it has. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief, "From the point of view of the Dawn Society, I fully agree with Mr. Felix's proposal, because this cane itself is actually enough to be called a miracle. ”

"What if, from your own point of view?"

Meyer broke free from that peculiar "rhythm" and asked seriously, "Or, from the perspective of a Venerable Master?" ”

"Then I would like more people to see it and even touch it."

Speaking of this, the elven mage showed a wry smile: "The blind thirst for magic and knowledge can easily lead spellcasters astray, which is very dangerous at the moment, although I personally do not approve of the fanatical belief in the sword-wielding retreat, but it is acceptable to believe in miracles rather than to be lost or bewitched." ”

"Well, I get what you're thinking."

Meyer nodded, and was about to ask something more when a terrible alarm suddenly pierced the night sky.

It was a siren symbolizing air raids, and it had been used frequently since the Dawn Society's forces came into contact with dangerous creatures such as the Asaru Giant Bird.

The Black Sun Society did not waste the fighting power of these giant birds, and after the initial defeat on the frontal battlefield, the Society transformed these large flocks of birds into nighttime harassers and raiders, specially used to infest the outer defenses or use the darkness of night to launch surprise attacks.

Of course, with its own defenses and those weapons designed to counter the enemy in the air, this level of harassment was not enough to cause substantial damage to the Dawn Society, at most it only brought more fatigue and tension, which was really not a challenge for the Dawn Society, which was full of combat enthusiasm.

In the midst of the terrible air raid siren, the three people in the room looked at the night sky at the same time, and they saw that the flocks of Asharu giant birds were rapidly crumbling under the cover of anti-aircraft fire, but this time, these undisciplined giant birds seemed to have restrained their fears, and continued to pounce on the interior of the watch city despite huge casualties.

Soon, the Dawn Society soldiers stationed in the defense line of the city wall and the strongholds on the edge of the city also noticed the strangeness of these giant birds, and as more artillery fire shot into the air, the violent magic explosion successfully dispersed the night, and also reflected the scattered shadows of the remaining Yasharu giant birds.

"Huh?"

Felix's brow furrowed.

As the leader of the Sword of Dawn, Felix is no stranger to the battlefield today, and he knows all the enemies that the Sword of Dawn may need to confront him.

Therefore, after discovering that the Ashru Giant Birds in the sky were uncharacteristically persisting in their progress despite heavy casualties, Felix immediately became alert, and before he could use the communication device in the room to pass the warning, the rest of the Dawn Order officers in the Watch City had already reacted correctly.

As a cloud of magic signals to provide illumination flew high into the sky, a large number of firepower points hidden in the Overwatch City were revealed, and the distinctive roar of the Distant Eyes began to echo in the city, and after realizing that these Asharu Giant Birds might have some kind of special mission, the professional archers immediately began to snipe mercilessly.

Lighting magic turned the city into daylight, and in such a situation where not a single bird or beast could survive the air, these inexplicable invaders seemed to give the Dawn Army stationed in the city a chance to show off their abilities, and the terrible Yasharu was quickly cleared under the watchful eyes of the sleepless residents.

A giant bird of Yasaru fell on a building not far away, its body was pierced by the crystallized bullet of the distant eye, but it did not die for a while, but continued to struggle, its huge wings flapping against the masonry, and its wail before death was strange and unpleasant.

"What are they here for? Sent to death? It's simply pointless. ”

The elven mage touched his chin puzzled, as an elf, he was extremely disgusted with this strange "unclean thing", so he immediately raised his palm, and a dark red fire immediately appeared from his fingertips.

However, before the lethal magic in Master Hetra's hand could be fully formed, the giant bird that had fallen on the roof of the opposite house suddenly struggled to roll over and get up, and on its huge and strange head, two abnormal cracks suddenly appeared, and then, the flesh and blood in the cracks surged up, and they actually evolved into two turning eyeballs under the effect of some ritual.

It just looked directly at the makeshift command post where Meyer and the other three were located.

In the next moment, the spear twisted from the dark red flame had been thrown by the elven mage, and the high-powered valley-level magic that belonged to Hetra himself engulfed the ugly figure on the spot, and the blazing magic flames obscured the cold vision, incinerating the writhing flesh on the spot.

Despite this, Hetram's expression was not soothed in the slightest, and after seeing the strange change of the giant bird before death, some kind of extremely bad premonition had already come to him, and when he turned his gaze away, he saw more pieces of Asharu's corpse falling from the sky with similar changes, under the effect of some pre-set ritual, even if it was just a broken mass of flesh that could no longer be distinguished, it was able to evolve eyes in an instant, and look in the direction of the temporary command post.

"No, that's not right......"

After seeing this scene, Hetra couldn't help but cry out, and Meyer and Felix both reacted accordingly at this moment, only to see the former run to the wall, detain the emergency communication secret device that had been set up in advance, and give all the members of the Dawn Society stationed nearby an order to evacuate immediately and conceal, while the latter walked quickly to the desk, hurriedly picked up the lid of the wooden box, and put away the important metal cane.

After completing the task in hand, the three people in the room immediately began to evacuate with the rest of the guards and clerks, and at this time, the watch city and everyone who stayed around it heard a chilling whine, this sound came from the far away in the sky, and the speed of the sound source was very fast, almost in an instant, it was already approaching!

"St. Steele's Snow Cannon!"

This terrifying and familiar name comes to the minds of many of the citizens of Overwatch.

From the moment this giant crystalline cannon was built, it was tasked with defending the northern realm and the kingdom of St. Steele, and for a long time, the inhabitants of St. Steele even regarded it as an important symbol of their homeland.

At the beginning of the last great war, the inhabitants of Overwatch had heard this terrifying roar more than once.

They knew that when the shells of the snowfield cannon fell, the protective ritual at the center of its explosion would collapse on the spot, the fortified positions would fall apart, and the marching army would be reduced to nothing.

It is no exaggeration to say that the battlefield baptized by the snowfield cannon must be the cleanest battlefield in the world.

Because after the cannonball falls, the battlefield is often left with the chaotic aftermath of the magic explosion and the incomparably huge crater, as for the corpses, trophies and the like, they will no longer exist.

Now, the cannonball, which had been used to protect the great "Mother North", had slashed over the heads of the residents of Overwatch, and it landed on the edge of the city, colliding with the rituals of the city's defenses that had been erected above the ruined city.

After the "Night of the Miracles", the Overwatch City Protective Ceremony, which was finally repaired, endured everything that he should not have endured at this moment.

The people of the city did not hear any sound, they only saw that some kind of unusually cold black light and shadow bloomed in the sky above the watch city, it seemed like a fog of life and consciousness, and it was like the dark dome that once enveloped the city, and the dark waves rolled endlessly, suffocating.

The massive rituals solidified in the walls of the city took effect, and the intricate lines spread out in the air.

Then the explosion occurred.

The magic pattern flickered violently, and the vibration directly spread throughout the city, and a section of the city wall, which was the cornerstone of the Guardian City's permanent protection ceremony, collapsed on the spot, and the ancient ritual core buried underground also completely collapsed at this moment.

The Asharu Giants, who were not afraid of death and insisted on rushing into the interior of the Watch City, were not there to launch any attacks at all, they were living beacons transformed by the magic of the Black Sun Society, and they were used to locate targets and tow the artillery bombardment.

Now, the deadly shells that had also been transformed by the Black Sun Society had succeeded in shattering the hastily repaired city defenses, and the aftermath of the explosion was surging towards the city below.

And that's where Meyer and the others are.
