Alien Knights

After talking for a while, Rachel looked at Karin who was in low spirits and said to Pamela and Cosette: "I'm tired from the journey. If you have anything to say, we can continue chatting tomorrow. Let's rest first."

Pamela and Cosette nodded in agreement, said goodbye to Karin, and left the room one after another.

Just when Rachel wanted to leave, Karin suddenly stopped her.

"Sister Rachel, I have something to ask you."

Rachel stopped pushing the door, turned her back to Karin, sighed inaudibly, and asked softly: "Is it about Todd?"

Karin hummed slightly.

Rachel closed the opened door again, walked slowly to the bed, sat next to Karin, and asked, "Are you worried?"

Karin's gray eyes turned to Rachel, and there was a hint of trembling in her words: "He will leave, right?"

Rachel asked, "Why do you think he's leaving?"

Karin's voice sounded a little sad: "I have seen that world in the soul space, and I have also seen the way Todd looked at it."

"When Todd looked at the pictures from that world, his eyes were so gentle, and the corners of his mouth would turn up slightly." Karin said emotionally, "I know that he has been longing to go home. To the place where he originally lived."

Rachel sighed: "That world is indeed beautiful..."

Karin continued: "Todd sits on the throne and has to deal with countless affairs every day, and he has to try his best to protect everyone. Since he became the king, even once, I have been in his face again. I have never seen a real smile..."

Rachel sighed and said: "He always puts all the responsibilities on his shoulders. Even if these responsibilities have made him breathless, he has never thought of bending his spine."

Karin: "But all this will eventually come to an end. When nothing can hold Todd back, he will leave and return to the world that originally belonged to him."

Rachel sat next to Karin, resting her hands on the edge of the bed, looking at the ceiling, taking a long breath, and asked, "What about you?"

Karin turned to look at Rachel: "Me?"

Rachel: "What do you think? If one day Todd really leaves this world, will you choose to stay or leave with him?"

Without any hesitation, Karin immediately replied: "I want to go with him."

After a moment, Karin was worried again: "But, will Todd agree to take me with him... I can't help him in any way and always cause him all kinds of trouble. Will he really agree to take me with him?" Are you following me?"

Rachel patted Karin on the shoulder: "As long as you make up your mind, then go with him."

Karin was a little surprised: "Is it okay?"

Rachel: "In fact, I have talked about this topic with Todd before. Once he finds a way to leave this world, he agreed to leave this world with some alien species and go to the place where he originally lived."

Karin asked excitedly: "He agreed?"

Rachel nodded: "Believe me, Todd never thought you were a trouble, he just didn't want to get you involved in something... In his opinion, letting you live a stable life is the most important thing."

Karin shook her head vigorously: "That's not what I thought!"

Rachel touched the burns on Karin's face and said softly: "I know, you are like two hedgehogs. You are obviously thinking about each other, but you inadvertently hurt each other."

Karin lowered her head sadly, trying her best not to let Rachel see the tears in her eyes.

Rachel hugged the other person into her arms and said no more.

At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, it was dusk in the east area of ​​​​the outer city of West City, at the fortification construction site.

Randall, who was in charge of security at the construction site with a record board in hand, repeatedly checked the unfinished tower in front of him and shouted to the orc Carroll in the distance: "There is something wrong here."

Carol, who was riding on the Thunder War Beast, handed the reins to another Crusader and walked to Randall's side.

Randall pointed to the shooting hole on the tower and said: "According to the design, it should be wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, but all the stones delivered are flat."

Carroll picked up the stones on the ground, looked at them, and then gestured toward the tower.

Lying on the ground, the werewolf Aldenan yawned with a bored look on his face: "We are here to protect the construction site, not to supervise the work. That is the job of the people in the city hall."

Carroll walked over, kicked Aldenan up from the ground, and said harshly: "When the undead really come, I see how lazy you are!"

Aldenan rubbed his back and said helplessly: "You have also seen the little bugs on the undead. As long as they get a little bit of them, they will mutate immediately. You can teach me how to fight this battle."

Randall put down the record board and said: "Muxi University is studying undead parasites, and I believe there will eventually be a way to deal with them."

Carroll pointed at the construction site: "And we still have allies and weapons."

Aldenan glanced at the huge thundering war beasts in the distance, the sharp-moving giant wolves, and the giant crocodile lizard filled with poisonous gas.

The werewolf shrugged: "Honestly, I don't think these war beasts can be of much use when fighting the undead... but the leopard-like guy from before might be able to help a little bit, then. What’s this guy’s name…?”

Randall said: "Shadow."

Aldenan: "Yes, shadows! It's just that after that battle, those shadows all returned to the north. I don't know if they are hiding, and they don't dare to fight the undead."

Carroll said in a low voice: "Even without them, as long as we have weapons in our hands, we can win this battle."

Aldenan curled his lips, as if he was disdainful of the orcs' confidence.

Seeing this, Randall pointed to the defensive construction site around him and said: "Our biggest reliance is actually the defenses... A total of 71 kilometers of city walls will be built in the north, east and west districts of Muxi City. If we add more If you go to the outer wall, the urn city and the corridor, then the number will be doubled again."

"The height of the city wall is about 7.5 meters. There are towers every 30 meters and flag cities every 270 meters. Thanks to Muxi City's cement and exotic technology, coupled with the day and night work, it is expected that all city defenses will be completed. The facilities will be fully completed in a few months.”

Aldenan stood up straight and glanced at the construction site in the distance.

The towering city walls are endless, and countless craftsmen and soldiers are crowded. The noisy and harsh construction sounds can be heard even from a distance.

Aldenan said quietly: "The vast majority of people in Muxi City have never seen the undead. They have no idea what they will face."

Randall nodded and said, "That's why we have such a heavy responsibility."

Carroll scratched the edge of the city wall and motioned for the two of them to look outside.

On the eastern horizon, there is a huge team, slowly walking towards Muxi City.

Randall took one look and told the origin of the other party: "Those are the troops and civilians who were withdrawn from the Holy Acropolis."

Aldenan said half-jokingly: "Two days ago, the people from Silver Ring City just entered the city, and now the people from Holy Acropolis are here again. I've seen it for a few days, and there's not even a place to sleep in Muxi City." ."

Randall looked at the huge migration team in Holy Acropolis and said softly: "Your Majesty may be right. Muxi City may be everyone's last hope."
