Even though the borer had left, Walter did not stop because he felt something was not right with Mersin.
She was soft and soft. Different from the time when she was hiding from the teaching army in Dark Star City, she seemed to have no bones now.
After estimating that he was far enough away, Walter stopped. He placed Mersin on the ground, checked her injuries, and soon found a large blood stain on the back of her head.
"Why at this time..."
Walter anxiously stretched his hand to Mersin's neck, and after sensing a fairly steady pulse, he exhaled.
In Dark Star City, Baraang Chamber of Commerce on Dark River Port Street.
Selu, who had just said goodbye to the mushroom farmer, felt an uneasy atmosphere.
People in the corridor were running, carrying kitchen knives, iron picks for stoves, hammers for blacksmithing, in short, they ran over with all kinds of weapons they could collect around them.
Their eyes were wild, and they all looked ready to sacrifice themselves.
Selu wanted to stop someone and ask what happened, but no one paid any attention to her.
She frowned and returned to the suite, telling Walter and Schliemann what she had seen. The two were stunned and looked at each other.
"Ignore you? If you don't even pay attention to a saint like you, then something big has happened!"
The three of them hurried towards Ferron's study, completely losing the dignity of His Highness and the Saint.
Ferron paced back and forth in the study, instructing the servants one by one with an anxious look on his face.
As a self-made businessman, his job is to protect his property before chaos comes.
Seeing the three people entering the study, Ferron sighed.
"That's it for now, hurry up and do it."
After the servant left in a hurry, Schliemann spoke.
"what's up?"
"Oh, the borer besieging the city is actually true, and one has already entered the city."
Schliemann was stunned. He had heard Mersin talking about borers, but he didn't expect to do so at such a juncture.
"The Doctrine Army will solve these things, right?"
"This time is different. Someone in the city performed some kind of ritual. Not only did he communicate with the borers, he also told the borers the location of Dark Star City. This time, more than two hundred borers attacked Dark Star City together.
The leader of the Doctrine Army has announced the mobilization of the whole city. The last time I saw such a mobilization was when the Pope came in person more than ten years ago. "
"Has the situation reached this point..."
Ferron nodded and said: "Your Highness, I may not be able to guarantee your safety...
I originally planned to use a boat to take a few people out on the underground river first, but the water level has dropped sharply recently. The boatman said that the lower reaches of the underground river may be cut off by a huge pit. If the pit is not filled, the water will not rise.
All my men have gone to report to the Dark Star City Guards, and there really are no more useful people at hand..."
"You don't have to worry about it, we can protect ourselves.
Let me ask you something and you answer it honestly. "
Ferron nodded and waited for Schliemann to ask a question.
"Do you think Dark Star City can be defended?"
Ferron laughed twice. He felt out of place and coughed quickly to cover up his embarrassment.
"That's enough.
The city has a population of more than 3,000, of which there are only 2,000 after deducting the old, weak, sick and disabled, and less than 1,000 after deducting women. Of these 1,000 people, 100 are from the religious army, and another 100 are from the temple. priest.
There are more than two hundred borers, I am worried..."
"What does this borer look like?"
Selu asked, but this sentence made Feron frown.
"You haven't...never seen a borer, have you?"
Schliemann quickly explained: "She has stayed in the Holy Palace for too long, and this is her first time going out."
Fei Long was stunned, and then sighed again.
"That thing is dark, with no nose or eyes on its head, just one mouth. It stands over two or three meters tall..."
Ferron's earnest narration made Schlieman understand that Dark Star City was about to end.
He glanced at Ampton. Ampton pulled the sword out of the strip of cloth and hung it on his waist. He opened the wide cuffs on his sleeves that affected his movement, and he looked like he was about to fight.
Schliemann also took off his spider silk top, revealing the black clothing that he had always coveted.
"We have to fight for survival this time, Selu, just stay here."
"Have you forgotten what I have done?"
Selu said in a calm tone, and a small knife appeared in her hand like a magic trick. She cut off the hem and hood of the robe in two or two strokes. She tightened the cloth belt around her waist, and her whole body became extremely sassy.
"You are..."
Ferron was stunned. He knew that these two men were armed, but he did not expect that the people in their imperial city would also be willing to fight for the untouchables in the lower city.
"It will not be good for us if the city is broken."
Schliemann said, taking the lead and walking out of Ferron's study.
Bokov was inspecting the city defenses.
His plan was to gather everyone at the edge of the uptown area where the borer had appeared.
Many stalactites were knocked off and transported here, all pointed upward, to kill the borers that rushed out of the holes.
At the edge of this area, Bokov had many obstacles set up to slow down the borer's rapid movement and make it easier for people with rock knives to kill them.
The members of the Doctrine Army have all put on field equipment, including spears, swords, long daggers, and tough insect armor. They gathered in formation on this side of the city. On their two wings, there are city guards and civilians with various equipment. .
There were many women and elderly people among the crowd, and they were ready with tools such as rock knives, mining hoes, and even shovels from the grocery store.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the hole above, and they were ready to advance and retreat with the city and their faith.
A piece of gravel fell from the cave. The gravel fell into the ambush circle lined with sharp rocks and made a crisp sound in the silent city.
At this moment, it seemed as if the entire Dark Star City held its breath.
A few more stones fell, people clenched their weapons, and the teaching army pointed their spears forward, because they knew that the borers were coming.
Soon, more stones fell, and the entire dome began to shake. People's eyes no longer focused on the hole, but looked around the dome that seemed to be boiling, and the perseverance on their faces faded away in an instant.
"Attention! Keep an eye on the target! Our Lord is with you!"
Bokov, who was standing in the second row, shouted loudly. He put his spear on the shoulders of the soldiers in the front and pulled down his helmet to prepare for the enemy.
Everyone responded sparsely to his words, and Bokov immediately shouted "My Lord is with me" rhythmically, and the teaching army began to shout in unison.
Later, people from the City Guard began to join, and finally the people who regained their courage.
"My Lord is with me! My Lord is with me! My Lord is with me!"
The uniform shouts of more than a thousand people echoed throughout Dark Star City. Dark Star City, which held its breath, finally let out its roar when facing the menacing enemy.
