Chapter 1336： Bare feet (2/2)

Wycliffe's mouth twitched and listened to the female chief talking about it for a long time, only then finally couldn't help but interrupt: "...the group of white knights claiming to be'doctors', do you really dare to believe it?"

"...Careless," Camilla sighed, "Followed by the Cecilians."

The corners of Wycliffe's mouth turned up, at least for this moment, he finally felt the relaxed and familiar atmosphere he hadn't seen for a long time.

But he didn't immerse himself in this kind of relaxation for too long. After a few seconds, the human king reduced the smile on his face, looked at Camilla's eyes and asked, "How is the situation now?"

"The overall good news is that we are regaining lost ground. The loopholes in the defense line from north to south are being repaired one by one by the aerial fortresses and ground forces brought by the Cecilites, and the enemy’s main force went into battle on the Earthly Dawn. There was a heavy blow that day, and they should not be able to organize a large-scale offensive as before in a short time. Currently the main battlefield is shifting to the south, and Stour's troops and some aerial fortresses are consolidating the southern line of defense.

"Stella and her golem army are in the holy mountain. The fairies are cooperating with the Cecils to build a new communication network. I don't know much about the technology...

"Wenna is in Hongyu City, right below us. She is with Duke Baldwin and is planning to retake the mountain barrier. There are still quite a few distortions occupying the mountain barrier to the east. Those are people. The commanded'regular forces' are different from the out-of-control monsters currently alone in the forests, and they have made a large area'wasteland'. It may take a tough battle to retake that area, but as long as the Earthly Dawn moves eastward, the problem Will solve..."

Camilla spoke slowly, her expression a bit complicated, and her voice low: "...to this day, we have killed many people, cities and villages have been razed to the ground, fertile fields and water sources have been polluted, and forests have turned into coke, but we Many people survived... Wycliffe, you are an optimistic person. I don't need my advice at this time, right?"

"Yes, we also survived a lot of people," Wycliffe said softly, his eyes slowly cast out the window, while the giant shadow of the Earthly Dawn was rising from the depths of the clouds, reflecting the pale golden sunlight, "alive that's nice."

"...Indeed, it's good to be alive. Only by living can you do what they haven't achieved for the dead."

The ward was quiet for a while, and the two tribal leaders were in their own thoughts, until a voice suddenly came from a communication device on the desktop not far away, and the silence in the room was broken. The young female commander with a single ponytail appeared in the holographic projection above the installation and looked at Wycliffe with a serious expression: "I'm sorry to interrupt you and your friend, Your Majesty Wycliffe, this is Cecil Air Force. Supreme Commander Gina Prince, I have something to ask you about, some details about the previous Battle of Farm..."

…

Two hours later, in the northern part of Wolfridge Mountain, in front of the ruins of the Farm Fortress, which was once broken by the Aberration Corps and razed to the ground, the towering steel church stood on the scorched earth, and the energy barrier formed by the holy light covered the original fortress. Within the energy coverage of the city wall and the steel chariot cathedral, a staggered firepower point was formed. An emergency fortification blocked the area of ​​the mountain pass that was washed away before, and the muzzle extending from the fortification pointed vigilantly. A large occupied area on the east side of the mountain range.

Large swaths of molten material, like crystals of obsidian, flowed down from the nearby mountains, forming layers of undulating obstacles in the mountain pass. The flames of the Purgatory Incendiary had long been extinguished, but the traces of terror it left were still shocking all daring Challenge the creatures of this battlefield.

And above the Farm Fortress, another steel church is still floating in the sky, maintaining the air superiority of this area together with the entire aerial combat formation.

Inside the flying church, the nun Marianne is standing in front of the steel-cast preaching platform. A holographic projection emerges above the iron-cast platform in the shape of a prayer book. It clearly shows a scene of the ruins of the Farm Fortress. Judging from the shooting perspective, This scene obviously came from a communication terminal set up on the ground.

A priest wearing a heavy white knight armor appeared in front of the projection. He saluted the nuns on the preaching stage and said: "Sister Marian, we have arrived at the ruins of the North Tower. This should be where King Wycliffe told Jinna. The place the commander described."

Marianne frowned: "Did you find anything?"

"Not yet. All the traces here have been destroyed. Even if there are any clues, they may have been buried in the deepest part of the ruins, but there are still some magical fluctuations here. We are collecting the magical energy in the environment to interfere with the readings."

"Search earnestly, something wrong must have happened here," Marianne said in a deep voice, "The Aberration once used a lot of abnormal forces to attack the North Tower, which is the strongest in defense, and returned here after completely destroying the North Tower. They have been entrenched for a long time, which is not in line with their general law of action... Those monsters may have erased a lot of clues, but under the thunder offensive of the Commander Amer, they should not have time to erase all traces."

"Yes, Sister Marianne!"

The white knight replied in a deep voice, but after two seconds, the young priest couldn't help asking one more sentence: "Sister, what are we looking for?"

"...Our frontline scholars have found clues to the true purpose of the Wasteland Legion on Wolfridge Mountain. What we are looking for may be a black cube with a side of one to two meters, called a runestone. Those dark priests are trying Use this device to achieve some ulterior and sinister purposes..."

The blonde Sister Marianne said with a serious expression. She glanced at the aerial view displayed on another set of holographic projections nearby, looking at the devastated land of Ogure and the warriors guarding the main road of the mountain pass. Take a breath.

Perhaps the warriors of the battle group did not achieve real victory in their actions on this land. Behind the apparent retreat of those monsters is the truth of their terrible conspiracy.

But... those monsters showed their feet after all.
