Chapter 923 A Bloody Declaration

As everyone was looking around the train, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the west!

"Wuu wuu"

Everyone was stunned in place. (Quality#……net)

It was the highest level of alert again!

Wendy was the first to react, "Your Majesty, please return to the castle to take shelter immediately!"

To Roland's slight surprise, Tilly and Ashes quickly approached him as well. The Extraordinary blocked the two behind him, while Tilly grabbed his wrist.

A cold metallic sensation immediately came from his wrist.

He lowered his head and saw that the ring on Tilly's finger was glowing with rich languang, obviously ready to fly him straight to the mining area if anything went wrong.

For some reason, even in this critical moment, he felt a little absent-minded, his attention more focused on the owner of this hand.

Unlike Nightingale's unreserved trust, he knew that Tilly didn't really treat him as a brother.

Lies are always hard to hide from someone so perceptive.

Even if she called him that to his face, it was just a way to maintain the existing relationship.

In fact, the relationship between the two had always been like a veil, blurry and difficult to define, not to mention that Ashes had always been indifferent to him even though the feud in the palace had nothing to do with him, he had no way to explain the blame. Since he had deceived her first, he couldn't ask for much, but now he couldn't help but feel a sense of closure.

Perhaps for Tilly, even if he wasn't a blood relative, being a simple ally was enough to be trusted and affirmed.

"That's right, this place is too close to the border wall, please leave quickly!"

"Guards, where are the guards?"

"Come and clear the way for His Majesty!" At this time, others also reacted and shouted loudly.

Coupled with the echoing alarm, the scene was quite chaotic.

Infected by the tense atmosphere, Roland finally came back to his senses, and he couldn't help but frown... Could it be that the garrison had discovered traces of the devils?

He looked to the west of the North Slope Mine. Currently, Sylvie was responsible for guarding. The possibility of a false alarm was very low. What could make the border troops sound the highest alert must be devils. But weren't they lacking Red Mist and in a dormant state? Or did the ruins of Taqila bring new supplies?

Although he wanted to go to the city wall to see for himself, since Nightingale was not here and the main force of the First Army was still on their way back, it was better not to increase the burden on the defenders.

On the way down the mountain, he called Wendy and instructed, "No matter what happens on the city wall, tell me immediately when you have news."

"Yes," the latter replied with a solemn expression.

……

Sylvie watched the approaching enemies, and her palms couldn't help but sweat.

This wasn't her first time seeing devils, but the pressure they brought her was always there.

One, two, three, four, five, six, a total of six Terrorbeasts were lined up, flying towards Neverwinter City from the grassland. Under the observation of the Eye of Magic, every detail of the enemy was clearly visible. As Er'er mentioned, not every Terrorbeast carried a Mad Demon. Two of them had bone containers like soil bags tied to their backs, like pack horses specifically responsible for carrying goods.

If you zoom in a little, you can see the Red Mist surging in the containers.

Obviously, they were carrying a sufficient amount of gas tanks to carry out this long-distance raid.

But... why did the devils launch an attack so quickly?

Shouldn't they be guarding the Godstone veins in the ruins, waiting for the arrival of the Red Moon?

What made Sylvie feel a little more at ease was that the First Army responded quickly after hearing the alarm. The cannons on the city wall were uncovered, and several teams of soldiers entered the battle area. If the enemy didn't suddenly change direction, the two sides would meet in half an hour.

"Sylvie xiaojie, the people over there are asking, if the enemy intends to invade the city, can you predict the blocks they might pass through?

" said the adjutant responsible for communication.

In order to facilitate the transmission of enemy information, Roland moved the prototype hand-cranked telephone in the backyard of North Slope Mountain to the city wall. In addition to the dedicated line directly to Longsong Stronghold, this was also the first telephone in Neverwinter City to be put into practical use. However, due to the length of the line, the other telephone could only be placed at the entrance of the Third Border City. Therefore, in addition to a dedicated liaison officer, Sylvie also arranged for two God's Punishment Witches to provide key protection.

"Fifth Road or Ninth Road," Sylvie wiped the sweat from her hands, "but they may also head towards the square, where the people have not been completely evacuated."

If the Terrorbeasts rushed into the market, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I understand," the adjutant repeated into the microphone.

"Wait!" Sylvie's voice suddenly changed, "They are climbing!"

"Are they planning to cross the city wall?" The adjutant also became nervous.

"But the speed of the Terrorbeasts is also decreasing. The people on the city wall should be able to see them directly at this distance!"

Before she finished speaking, gunshots could already be heard faintly from the receiver.

The soldiers fighting on the city wall were undoubtedly the elite of the First Army, and they had all participated in the Snow Mountain exploration. When they really faced the devils, they didn't show any panic. Several squads took turns firing, while maintaining a low rate of fire, without firing all the bullets in their hands at once.

But Sylvie quickly discovered the problem.

That was a deadly empty target, and it was more difficult to shoot down a charging Evil Beast or God's Punishment Army.

The lack of landing marks made it impossible for the soldiers to know how to adjust the angle. After a few rounds of shooting, the Terrorbeasts were unscathed and had approached to about 150 meters from the city wall.

And their altitude had also climbed to more than 100 meters. The First Army soldiers had to raise their guns high to aim at the enemy. Although the gunshots were much denser, they still failed to achieve any results.

At this moment, the Terrorbeasts stopped moving, hovering in the air like giant bats.

The Mad Demon's arms also quickly swelled up.

"No!" Sylvie couldn't help but exclaim, "Tell them to evacuate the city wall!"

"What?" The adjutant was stunned, "Evacuate?"

However, it was too late. The devil instantly threw the bone spears in its hand. Four white shadows fell from the sky, instantly piercing the soldiers on the wall without any cover. Once the attack came from the sky, the earth wall that rose up was meaningless.

Unexpectedly, the enemy did not continue to attack. The Mad Demon, after its arms shrank, let out a series of strange screams, and after throwing down a few animal skins, it turned around and flew towards the grassland from which it came.

The attack came quickly and ended quickly. Before long, the devil's figure disappeared below the horizon.

Sylvie couldn't bear to turn her gaze to the city wall. The soldiers who were directly hit by the bone spears showed no signs of life. No matter how their comrades shook them, their eyes could never be opened again, and the blood flowing from their chests gradually formed a pool of dark red blood under them.

The animal skins slowly fell, and the surface was not empty, but painted with a few crude patterns.

The most striking of these was a huge wolf. rw
