Chapter 824 The Empty City

The descendants of the servants of the gods lay on the ground, reverently meditating in their hearts.

Such sacrificial prayers have been carried out since the day they became sensible. Although there has been no response for dozens or hundreds of years, they believe that one day, their main god will wake up again and return.

Under the leadership of Priestess Nabel, everyone prayed fervently, and soon this once-a-month event was drawing to a close.

And just when the descendants of the gods and servants finished their prayers and opened their eyes to get up, everyone in the next moment was stunned.

“The holy…sacred relic is shining!”

The sacred relic, which has never behaved abnormally, has undergone unprecedented changes at this moment.

A few rays of light shone around Saint Artifact.

weng!

As the rays of light became more and more prosperous, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the field, and one after another halo appeared on the sacred relic staff. The waves are rippling!

“The main god has awakened and returned! Our Angelina has returned!”

As the only Priestess in the field at this time, seeing the halo on the staff, In an instant, Nabel’s face showed an unprecedented surprise.

She immediately moved towards the dazed descendants of the servants who were kneeling on the ground and whispered!

“What! The Lord God… has returned?”

Hearing Nabel’s words, several descendants of the nearby god servants were stunned, feeling like they were in a dream.

Their main god has been gone for many years, and they didn’t expect to witness the reappearance of the main god.

weng!

And just when the indigenous people gradually began to glow with endless surprises, there was another buzzing sound in the field.

Then there was a buzzing sound, but the staff that shone with rays of light dimmed again and returned to its original appearance.

“This…”

“Priest Nabel, what’s going on? Isn’t the Lord God awake and returning?”

“It’s awake! The Lord Priest once said that countless years ago, when the glory of the Lord God was still alive, all items in the temple had their own holy light!”

“Especially the Saint Artifact used by the Lord God! It has Divine Force on it! It is full of holiness!”

“It was only after the fall of the main god that these Saint Artifacts lost their brilliance!”

“However, the priest said that one day as long as the main god Come back again, then these sacred relics will renew the rays of light!”

Nabel is worthy of being a Priestess, although she is not strong, but she always remembers everything about the Lord God.

The staff suddenly emitted holy light, and she knew that this must be a sign of the awakening of the Lord God.

As for why the holy light of the staff would go out again, Nabel pondered for a moment, thought of a possibility, and whispered to the crowd immediately.

“The Lord God has just woken up, and his strength has not fully recovered! If we want the Lord God to fully wake up and return! We need to continue to pray to the Lord God sincerely!”

“Yes, Lord Priest It makes sense! It must be like this!”

With Nabel’s explanation, the descendants of the gods and servants in front of them instantly understood, and then they showed a positive look and began to agree.

They are all looking forward to it in their hearts, expecting that their Lord’s divine ability will wake up enough, then these descendants of the servants of God will no longer be afraid of intruders.

“The priest, shall we continue to pray to the Lord Angelina now? This way the Lord Angelina will wake up faster!”

A group of fiery servants The descendants immediately looked towards Nabel, and as long as she was nodded, everyone would close their eyes and start praying.

“No! We have prayed once today, and Lord Angelina has already responded, but the Lord Divine Force is powerful, it will definitely take some time to fully wake up, so we don’t have to be too Hurry up!”

Nabel also wanted to pray continuously to wake up the Lord God as soon as possible.

But as a priest, she knows that the Lord God is Supreme Existence, and if she can wake up immediately, she must be able to do it before.

But the holy light of the staff continued to go out after a while, which means that Angelina is still in the process of awakening.

Now moved towards Angelina Lord God’s prayer continuously, maybe it will also affect the Lord God’s awakening.

What’s more important is that the invaders in the city of San An will definitely not allow them to do so. The guards who were responsible for guarding them have seen the condition of the previous staff.

The intruder’s manager will definitely come to stop such a thing, so they need to try to stay put and not let the intruder see anything out of the ordinary.

“Wait a while, you all will obey the intruder’s arrangement honestly. We can’t let Angelina revive the Lord God in any accident!”

Now the Lord’s dive ability can’t revive, this method The staff is the key. If the intruders know the situation, if they destroy the staff, they will be the sinners of their own clansman.

Nabel figured everything out, and immediately moved towards the descendants of all the gods and servants, especially the commander of Kencher, this guy is a bully.

Although I was captured during this time, I was always unconvinced. Fortunately, I kept persuading me, and this was temporarily suppressed.

“Okay, Priest Nabel!”

Kencher knew that Goddess was about to recover, he saw hope of regaining his freedom, and immediately agreed.

“Priest Nabel, what’s going on here?”

And at this time, Caroline and Lolita arrived at St. in front of the palace.

The staff had previously appeared rays of light, and the guards had notified them.

“Hello, Miss Caroline, the sacred relic has just appeared rays of light on its own! This is the scene where the sacred relic automatically absorbs our pious Power of Faith, which will appear every time!”

p>

Nabel respectfully moved towards Caroline gave a salute and then explained.

“Power of Faith? Does it appear every so often?”

Caroline didn’t know much about this, so she was a little skeptical when she heard Nabel’s explanation.

Because the place of prayer was in the square, the scene was quite noisy, and the guards were standing in the distance to help the aboriginals maintain order, so they couldn’t hear the low voices of Nabel and the others at all.

“Since that’s the case, Priest Nabel, your sacrifices this month have been completed. According to the agreement, you need to work now! I also need to put away this staff!”

Caroline first moved towards Lolita and glanced at Lolita, who also shook her head at her, expressing that she was unclear.

So Caroline opened her mouth to expel a group of natives and let them go back to work.

“Okay! Miss Caroline!”

Nabel had no objection.

Then a group of natives, escorted by Laurie and the others, moved towards the Golden Crystal Mine in the Western District.

“Lolita, don’t you know the reason why this staff glows!”

Holding the staff in her hand, Caroline took Lolita and moved towards St. Go to the small building at the back of the palace.

“Caroline elder sister, I know very little about the natives of the Land of the Fallen!”

Lolita nodded replied.

“However, I don’t think that Priestess’ explanation is necessarily credible!”

Lolita paused to add.

“en! We’re going to send someone to inform Gervais about this matter, and we will strengthen the supervision of those natives during this time!”

Caroline nodded with approval.

Then the two took the staff to the Holy Tree in the garden of the small building again.

And when the two of them put their staffs away and left, the already dim staffs hummed in a low voice again.

Then, a lot of white light spots appeared on the staff and slowly moved towards the Holy Tree and converged away

“Huh! What?”

Wall-E was playing among the branches of the Holy Tree, hovering curiously in the air when he saw these light spots appear.

After four or five seconds, those white light spots all merged into the Holy Tree, and then the garden fell into silence again, only Wall-E was puzzled.

Gervais didn’t know that there was a strange situation with the Holy Tree and staff in his holy city.

In the early morning of the second day, he had one of the Sea Clan Captains escort the more than 2,800 natives who were captured by three hundred Sea Clan soldiers and moved towards the city of St. Ann.

At the same time, they also brought back a pair of metal wrist guards from the sacred relic seized from St. Leaf City, as well as the more than 100 seriously wounded wounded.

Because the road in the back leads directly to the city of St. Ann, Gervais is not worried about what will happen to them on the road.

After the escorting team left, Gervais left only one hundred Sea Clan as the guardian of Saint Leaf City, and then moved towards the next city with the team again.

Because of the siege battle of Saint Leaf City, Gervais discovered that his seemingly weak troops were actually no worse than other Holy City in terms of siege.

Destroy the enemy’s defending bed crossbows with long-range attacks, and then use magician firepower to suppress the opposing longbowmen.

And he still has thousands of Sea Clan soldiers under him, so he doesn’t have to worry about the moat outside the city at all, avoiding the need to invest a lot of manpower and risk the risk of filling the river.

What’s more, he also has fifty Swift Dragon Birds as air power.

In the battle for the capture of St. Leaf City, Gervais chose to let the Swift Dragon Bird rest in the rear.

But as long as he encounters a tough bone, Gervais will let Long Yi and the others ride on it, and then come to an all-round three-army battle to attack the city.

“Go!”

Looking at Saint Leaf City where the city gate has been closed, Gervais gave an order, and more than 5,000 people embarked on the journey again.

……

Two days later, outside a small city, Gervais frowned looked at the city opened by the city passageway.

“King Your Majesty, we have already patrolled the city on the Speed Dragon Bird, and there really is no indigenous silhouette!”

Ike jumped off the Speed Dragon Bird and came to Gervais Reports.

“It’s strange that such a big city is empty, not even the God Servant. Are the natives really willing to give it to us like this?”

After listening to Ike The report, Gervais looked thoughtful.

They arrived in this city called Saint Nicholas ten minutes ago.

When it was 20 miles away from the city of St. Ni, the reconnaissance squad sent by Gervais actually returned and reported that there was no silhouette in the city of St. Ni.

Not to mention civilians, not even the guards of the gods who guard it.

Empty streets, city walls with no guards, and cities that are completely open.

This kind of report made Gervais suspicious. Could it be the famous empty city strategy in the previous life?

Immediately, Gervais ordered to stay twenty miles away for one morning, and dispatched all the fast dragon birds to begin to investigate carefully inside and outside the city.

After a morning of exploration, it was confirmed that there was no enemy in ambush, and the team led by Gervais came to the front of the city of St. Ni.

“Gervais, could it be that these natives know that they can’t fight, so they have already evacuated?”

Gandalf interjected beside Gervais at this time.

“It’s not impossible either!”

Gervais> nods

, this seems to be the only explanation for now.

Now it’s not just the Gervais who are attacking, but the Holy City faction of the entire Holy Alliance.

Therefore, it is also possible if the natives shrink their defenses again.

After all, in such a small city, two or three thousand soldiers and horses can easily be destroyed by their own.

“Let’s go, let’s go into the city and search again!”

Although Gervais had this idea, he still prepared to send someone to carefully conduct a carpet search in the city just in case.

The rapid dragon bird also continued to patrol the range of several dozen li outside the city continuously, so as not to be a tactic of the indigenous people to lure the enemy into the depths.

……

A team of 5,000 people searched the city of Saint Ni for two hours, and finally determined that this was an empty city with no one.

“Ike, the order goes on, everyone rests in the city tonight! We will continue to go deep tomorrow!” But now that he has encountered such a good thing, he naturally will not stay put.

He doesn’t care whether there are enough people to defend the city he occupies in the future, anyway, he is as deep as possible now.

Because, if the natives really abandon the city, then if the action is slow, it is likely that these cities will be cheaper for others.

“Yes! Your Majesty!”

Ike immediately took the lead and walked out of the temple to begin to convey Gervais’ orders.

 …

After a night of refurbishment in St. Ni, the entire group of Gervais set off again in the morning on the second day.

This time Gervais left only ten Sea Clan garrisoned in the city of St. Nicholas.

Gervais is not sure how many cities will be empty next. If he has to divide his troops too much when he encounters three or two, it will be uncomfortable if he encounters the enemy.

The strength is already strong, and if we divide our troops, I am afraid that extreme joy turns to sorrow.

In this way, Gervais left ten people and the city gate to close the city of St. Nicholas, and then took the team to continue on the road.

The distance between cities gradually shortened as they went deeper into the hinterland of the indigenous sphere of influence.

Just one day later, Gervais once again encountered a city that was empty of people.

But even with precedent, Gervais dared not let his guard down and swagger into town.

Instead, he searched carefully outside the city for a few hours before entering the city.

“Good things happen every year, but didn’t expect this year to be a lot!”

Gervais stood on the city wall called Shengde City, Gervais was finally sure Well, these cities were voluntarily given up by the indigenous people.

Nowadays, these cities are like cabbage on the side of the road, first come first served, it is not too easy.

“Your Majesty, the team has assembled, ready to go!”

At this time, Ike quickly came to Gervais’ side.

“Well, very good! Then let’s go now! If you are slow, it will be gone!”

Since there is a city to pick up along the way, I am sure this is not some kind of conspiracy of the indigenous people , Gervais is ready to speed things up.

Because the speedy dragon bird in charge of the investigation has already reported that there is a medium-sized city more than 100 miles away, and the city is empty.

Gervais is now occupying small cities, and is really a little jealous for medium-sized cities that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

With that, Gervais moved towards the city wall stairs.
