Chapter 53: Gathering Troops
The scene was silent for a few seconds, and everyone seemed to be shocked by the information, and did not react until a long time later.
The old butler, with gray temples and a tired face, spoke uncertainly: "Your Excellency, if I'm sure I'm not mistaken, you just said that there will be a disaster in this city?" ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance out the window, under the lights, everything was peaceful, and it didn't look like a disaster was going to happen at all.
Moreover, this place is already thousands of miles away from the "Demonic Mist Cataclysm" area, and even if it spreads, it will not be so fast.
"Yes, so I need to use your strength to mobilize the city's defenses, and we have one more night to prepare for this catastrophe before it becomes unstoppable."
Colin thought about it, and if he remembered correctly, there were several important key points in the previous prediction.
The first massive shock occurred after daylight...
The second is the "he", that guy seems to be unable to leave the "Holy Healing Church", and it is mentioned above that he failed to storm the church, and finally failed, and the other party did not chase him out.
However, "he" was able to control the bestiality attack, and in the endless attack, he died of exhaustion.
But now that Colin has that mission guidance, he won't do anything like head-on confrontation again...
In addition, it seems that a group of people have discovered the problem of the Holy Healing Church before him, and launched an attack before he goes, causing the other party to suffer some damage.
Someone who can deal damage to such a powerful creature is obviously a good team.
Although it is not clear who it is, it must be grasped so as not to give it away in vain.
At this time, the old butler's expression was cloudy, and he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to think, and glanced at Miss Helena.
"Are you sure?" Helena's voice came from under the gray hood.
This time her tone was much more stable.
"Definitely."
Colin's tone was unequivocal.
The person behind the curtain started the ceremony, and it was absolutely impossible to stop again.
Otherwise, the whole city will not be closed.
First, he definitely doesn't want the outside world to know and doesn't want to be disturbed, and secondly, it shows that that guy can't stop fighting against the water.
As for why "he" didn't choose to go to the wilderness to perform the ritual secretly.
Obviously, he needed to pull the entire city for sacrifice.
Of course, if you say this, there is not enough evidence to gain the trust of the other party.
So as he spoke, Colin lifted his gray robe, revealing his appearance at the moment: a pale and weak face, the left half of which was full of blood, and one eye had sunken down, and there were faint blood oozing out.
When this scene unfolded in front of everyone's eyes, everyone present, whether it was Helena, the old butler, or the soldiers guarding on the side, couldn't help but gasp.
Colin looked much more miserable at this moment than he had seen during the day.
After a long while, the old butler with gray temples broke the silence:
"It's... What happened? ”
What happened? Young and ignorant, I have sinned against things that I shouldn't see... Colin muttered in his heart, he was really just habitually looking at it at the time, but he didn't expect that glance to almost kill him.
Of course, he couldn't say it that way, he took a slight breath and said with a solemn face: "Because of the price paid for glimpsing this impending disaster."
"In addition to this, there is one more thing that confirms the truth of my words...
"From now on, there is no way to leave the city, there is a powerful force that has sealed the city, and you can try to go out and seal it.
"However, I don't recommend going now, because that would lead to us being discovered."
After speaking, neither Helena nor the old butler immediately spoke.
After a few seconds of waiting, Colin was about to urge, but Helena spoke: "Please allow me to leave for a while before I can give a decision." ”
I said that I still need to think about it after I say it is so clear, don't you know that time is life now.....
Without waiting for Colin to respond, Helena got up and walked to the next study.
After entering the study, Helena turned and closed the door, and then took out a gold ring from a delicate bag around her waist.
In this ring, a pure white spar is set.
Helena placed the ring on the middle finger of her right hand and took out a piece of gold with a sun painted with circles and straight lines.
Then, she lowered her head, put her hands in front of her chest, and made a prayer, as if she were chanting someone's honorific name.
Soon, the gold burned like paper, but what burned out was a pure white glow.
Helena quickly went through the words she had just heard from Colin and the anomaly that had happened today.
Not long after, a thin and white light suddenly appeared on her body, as if draped in a sacred light veil.
"I feel the breath of disaster, but I'm still here, I can't leave easily, I can't help much..."
"There are some problems with his words, but they don't matter..."
"Assist him, he should have a solution and can be trusted..."
"But the requirement is, if you can, save more people, regardless of their status, regardless of their dignity..."
"Of course, everything depends on the situation, so you don't have to force it."
A light and beautiful female voice full of sacred meaning sounded in the ears, making people feel peaceful and not emotional.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Helena responded in a whispered reverence, and by the time she opened her eyes again, the flaky golden sigil on the table had completely evaporated.
She carefully pulled out the ring, retracted her pocket, and turned and walked out.
In the hall, a few minutes had passed, and Colin looked a little better than just now, and when he saw Helena coming out, he looked at the other party.
"I'll help you with everything, but I have one condition."
"On what terms?"
Colin opened his mouth curiously, although he wondered why the noble lady had changed her attitude when she entered the study, but he didn't care about it now.
"Save as many people as you can in this disaster."
"Save more people?"
I can't save myself, and I have to save more people, are you thinking too highly of me?
Do you really think of me as an all-powerful savior?
What else do I come to you to do with this strength?
At this moment, if it weren't for the other party, Colin wanted to say, you might as well ask for another Gao Ming.
Seeing Colin's brows furrowed, Helena continued: "Of course, just do it as much as possible, if you really can't save it, it doesn't matter. ”
That's pretty much it, Colin nodded, "All I can say is do my best." ”
Helena stopped saying something and said, "What should we do next?" What do I need to do? ”
"Now the personnel division is too scattered, the situation of the war is not in our favor, we have to gather troops first."
