Chapter 326: Making a scene (Part 2) "City Lord, go this way, there is no one outside."
Outside the castle, an ordinary private house opened. The attendant poked his head out to take a look at the situation outside, and then asked the fat city lord and some officers and nobles to come out of the house.
The city lord's reaction was quite fast. When he was poisoned, he immediately thought that the poisoner would enter the banquet hall, so he quickly entered the secret passage and escaped.
The castle's secret passage connects to this private house, which is in a very remote corner.
Because the toxin was too powerful, even if there was an antidote, it would only be temporarily suppressed. Several officers and nobles who came out of the room were so weak that they had to hold on to the wall when walking.
Leaving the house, there was an alley connecting the left and right. At this time, they also heard the earth-shattering footsteps and the sound of shields outside the city, as well as the thunderous rumbling cannons on the sea to the west. ring.
The expressions of the officers and staff members changed slightly, realizing that Viola had already begun to attack the city.
"We need to return to the barracks immediately!"
"Yes, take us to the military camp. It's safe there. Hurry and call some carriages!"
Even now, the city lord still wants to take a carriage.
But it's normal. After all, they didn't know that there was chaos in the city and thought that someone was just causing trouble in the castle.
The attendant nodded and hurried down the alley to the street.
Then they saw that the attendant suddenly stood there and let out an unbearable scream.
——Boom!
A heavily scaly foot crushed the attendant, probably without even noticing him, just like stepping on an inconspicuous pebble on the side of the road.
Through the gap in the alley, the city lord and his party saw a white dragon, which was covered with flawless white scales and more than ten meters tall, walking through the alley step by step, opening its mouth and spitting out extremely cold air.
A panicked and noisy scream came from outside the alley, but calm returned within two or three seconds. Immediately afterwards, the sound of Bailong's heavy footsteps was heard, as well as the crunching sound of breaking ice. ,
The alley was too narrow, so Bai Long didn't notice them, but walked straight through.
This is good news, but why is there a white dragon?
Everyone was dumbfounded, and even had a short-circuit in their brains for a while. They stared blankly at Bailong walking over, and they didn't recover for a while.
At this time, another burst of footsteps approached, and those who were about to stand up quickly fell down again, especially the fattest city lord, who tried very hard to press himself into a piece of cake, but the size was too big, and he looked like a pimple. .
But this time what I saw from the gap in the alley was not a monster, but a group of guards wearing urban management uniforms.
The city lord Gregor was overjoyed when he saw this, and was about to call them out when he suddenly noticed that the arms of these people were all tied with red cloth strips.
The city lord hates the color red, which reminds him of the red hair of the royal family of Avarus.
"It seems that a long-planned rebellion broke out in Kaikai City."
The words of the officer behind him made the city lord tremble, and he quickly explained: "Is it too early to confirm that it is a rebellion? Open City has pledged allegiance to the Demon Kingdom of Subia. Please believe in my ability to rule. There is no such thing here. There will be problems."
The officer snorted and said nothing. The city lord's explanation was hard to believe. The only thing that was certain now was that something big had happened.
Whether it is to defend the city or to save their own lives, they must rush to the military camp as soon as possible.
When the footsteps disappeared, they exited from the other side of the alley.
After leaving the dark alley, the spreading firelight finally caught the eyes of the group of people. The city lord seemed to want to explain again, but no one believed him this time, and he didn't even bother to show off.
A rebellion has definitely broken out in the city, and it is premeditated to cooperate with Princess Viola outside the city. "Hey! Look, what is that! Is it magic?"
A huge beam of light fell from the sky, illuminating the darkness in the city. The beam of light moved directly above the castle and moved towards the city wall.
This light seemed to be coming from the farthest end of the sky. Under the dazzling aperture, the castle even looked a little sacred.
sacred?
From what perspective, for the defenders of Subia Demon Kingdom, they only felt fear.
Next to the city lord was an officer who had participated in the battle outside Qihang City. He watched the light beam move slowly, and his pupils quickly dilated.
The terrible scene that I dream about every night at midnight seems to be back again!
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The light beam that is moving in the city is by no means fast, but the sense of oppression and fear it brings is far more terrifying than direct damage.
The defeated army who was originally hiding in the military camp had just fallen asleep, and was immediately awakened by the sound of knocking outside the city and the sound of cannons at the port.
They immediately discovered that the open city that they thought was impregnable was igniting with the light of flames. The fire and noise rising into the sky reminded them of the cruel scenes on the battlefield.
Some people couldn't bear it anymore and began to run away. Fear began to spread like a plague. In one military camp after another, a large number of soldiers ran out in disorder. They were wandering around like headless flies, without weapons or armor, just instinctive Want to escape.
What, why do you think the officer didn't care?
The one who went crazy along with him was an officer. Why should he care?
In addition to being powerful, the dragon's unique fear will also be deeply rooted in people's hearts with its powerful power. Even if you have the strength to resist, your hands and feet will tremble unconsciously when facing the dragon.
And when a god who is far more powerful than a dragon and even more invisible appears, the fear that comes from an ant when he discovers that there is a huge creature like an elephant standing next to him becomes even more uncontrollable.
This is also the reason why God usually does not show his true form to mortals, and it is also the reason why God gains many believers every time he performs a miracle.
Fear comes from the unknown. This sense of oppression is instinctive and cannot be controlled by reason.
If it is moderate, it will make mortals consciously join in and follow the terrifying divine power.
But if it’s too much...
The soldiers running around are an example.
The commotion in the military camp was quickly discovered by the defenders on the city wall, but there was nothing they could do. After all, Viola was outside the city. If they left, the other party would enter the open city and drive straight in.
When they ran to the main road, the panicked soldiers immediately saw a white dragon approaching along the main road and opening its bloody mouth at them.
The extremely cold air instantly froze the chaotic soldiers into ice sculptures. Seeing the miserable condition of their colleagues, the soldiers ran around even more panicked.
He was hacked to death by rebel guards and people who took the initiative to go out, secretly received a last-ditch attack by the instigating resistance groups, or he was blown away by magic or trampled to death by clay giants.
There were many of them, but they were completely in disarray. They had no structure at all, and they didn't even know where to escape.
The defenders on the city wall could only watch silently as they died in various tragic circumstances, but there was nothing they could do. Even if they sent people over to try to calm down these soldiers, they would be beaten to pieces.
And the huge beam of light moving slowly towards the city wall has become an indelible nightmare for the soldiers. Even if it does not show any aggression, the soldiers will try to stay away.
Driven by the light beam, they seemed to be fleeing towards the south gate, as if they were about to abandon the city.
