Chapter 555 The Fall Of Solcheng (2)
Chapter 555 The Fall Of Solcheng (2)
The gears are pried ahead of time.
Everything is getting out of hand.
In Wolfwind Fortress, Braham led the knights to inspect the entire fortress. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he planned to immediately lead the team to the nearby Sol City to investigate.
But before he could set off.
The messenger soldiers from Sol City arrived first.
"Sir! Save Sol City!"
The messenger soldier looked disgraced, with several cuts on his body, blood seeping out of his armor, and an arrow stuck in his back. One of his boots also ran away, and he looked miserable.
"Speak slowly if you have anything to say." Braham frowned and ordered the medical staff in the team to bandage the messenger.
The border is bitterly cold, so don't think about rare professions such as priests, especially in this barren northern continent, where there are not even many mages.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you!"
After the wound was treated, the messenger seemed to be in better spirits, at least he didn't lose any more blood, but he was still weak when talking.
"Sir, everyone is crazy, everyone is crazy. The law enforcement team kills everyone on sight. They shout something about facing the truth while killing people all over the city. They no longer recognize us."
"What?" Braham and his personal guards looked at each other with doubts and confusion on their faces. They didn't understand what the messenger was saying at all.
"Crazy? Who is crazy? Please make it clear."
"Sir, yes, the Knight of Katsi. He is holding a statue in his hand. He is riding a horse and killing people while shouting the truth. I don't know if I saw it wrong, but it seems that everyone who sees the statue, whether a soldier or a soldier, Civilians have turned into lunatics.”
People who look at the statue will become crazy.
Braham's eyes widened.
Why does it smell like a devil?
But looking at the miserable appearance of the messenger, it doesn't look like he's lying. Could it be that something weird really happened in Sol City?
"When did this start?"
Abraham asked solemnly.
The messenger lowered his head and recalled for a moment, then said uncertainly: "It seems to be after the earthquake in Sol City. I remember that a blue dragon flew over Sol City, and then the great knight Katsi went to check the situation. Weird things happen.”
Braham gradually felt that something was unusual.
He recalled the appearance of the blue dragon when it flew over. It was dizzy. It didn't look like it was coming to attack the city, but it looked like it was running away in a hurry as if it had encountered a natural enemy.
"You rest here first, and the others will follow me to Sol City."
Braham led the team and set off.
He had no intention of entering Sol City.
If a vicious event such as a demonic invasion really occurs, entering Sol City is just to deliver food to the demons. The correct approach is to quickly occupy the city wall and use the city wall to block Sol City, or directly abandon Sol City and cut off Sol. He retreated to Langfeng Fortress and requested support from the royal capital.
Wolfwind Fortress is only half an hour away from Sol City.
It's faster if you ride a horse.
It can be reached in ten minutes.
By the time Braham rode his horse and stood at the gate of Sol City, the city was filled with screams and shouts of death. Ash smoke from burning houses was rising into the sky. All the chaos made his face look ugly.
"Sir, what are we going to do now? Break open the door?" A knight suggested.
"No, we go directly to the city wall."
Abraham said calmly.
All the knights flew up to the city wall in accordance with Braham's order, and those below the Sky Knight level used hook locks. At this moment, the city wall defense line of Sol City had completely collapsed, and soldiers fighting each other could be seen everywhere.
Braham used his bow and arrow to kill the crazy soldiers on the tower from a distance, and saved a few poor unfortunates.
Looking closer, I found that alienation has occurred in these crazy soldiers.
The most striking feature is that the pupils have turned completely black. Secondly, these soldiers also have green abscesses similar to blisters on their bodies, and their whole bodies exude a rotten smell.
"It doesn't look like the work of a devil."
Abraham used his sword to open the collar of a mad soldier.
That disgusting sore has spread all over the body.
"It certainly doesn't look like a demon. It does look a bit like a plague, but I haven't heard of any plague that can cause people to go crazy." The adjutant next to him also looked confused.
"Sir, these lunatics only appeared after seeing that kind of statue."
A soldier who was rescued said with lingering fear: "Katsi ran around the city holding the statue. Wherever he ran, there were a group of madmen. They were not afraid of death and seemed to have no pain. They killed everyone they saw."
"So the key point is that statue?"
"Yes."
Abraham walked to the city wall and looked into the city.
Panic-stricken civilians are swarming towards the gate of Sol City. Behind them are some guys with strange demeanor. They don't look normal at first glance. At least he can't run forward with his left hand and his left foot, and he can't look like a spider. Crawling on the walls.
"Where's the city lord?" He didn't look back.
The cold sound was carried to the soldiers' ears along with the strong wind.
"The Lord of the City left Sol City this morning. He said he was going to the next town to discuss cooperation. He will not be back until dusk today."
"This does allow the old bastard to escape." Braham sneered.
He gradually had a solution in his mind.
First of all, in order to protect himself, he would never go to Cartersi, let alone see the statue.
Preliminary observation shows that the strength of these contaminated soldiers will not increase. It is just that they are not afraid of death and have no pain. However, they will still die if their heads are cut off. As long as they can kill, it is not a big problem. .
Secondly, Sol City must be sealed off to prevent the pollution from spreading to other cities. No one knows how many statues there are. He cannot afford the loss if the pollution spreads to other cities.
"Sharna." Braham turned to his adjutant and ordered: "I will give you two dragon-blooded horses. You should go to the royal capital immediately to report to His Majesty what happened in Sol City."
After that, he said to another Sky Knight: "Lake, lead the soldiers to blockade Sol City, guard the city wall and the four gates, and don't let anyone go. Civilians, you save them according to the situation, and save yourself as the first priority. The remaining people follow me to the city to rescue the priest in the Temple of Order, everyone, move, hurry!"
"yes--!"
The knights performed their duties and carried out Abraham's orders in an orderly manner.
But Abraham didn't know.
Now it is too late to save the priest of the Temple of Order.
Because Cartersi had already taken the lead and walked into the temple holding the statue.
This was his goal from the beginning.
Truth guides him.
So many polluters on the road are just pawns to clear the way and delay.
