A few people stumbled to the middle of the street, only to find that there were the same groups of serfs and soldiers from all over the city running to the middle of the street to take refuge.
"Is this... is this the big earthquake that Baron Nalant said? The dark abyss really hit our sacred continent!"
At this time, everyone's faces were pale, and they were looking at the collapse of many dilapidated houses around them, as if they were seeing a scene like the end of the world.
In addition, despite their panic, they finally remembered what Nalant said.
In fact, it was not just the people in this small town who remembered what Nalant said.
But in the entire Holy Continent, everyone who heard Nalant's reminder remembered Nalant's prediction in advance.
For example, the 500,000 coalition troops stationed in the Duke's City ahead of them have become chaotic.
Although President Theodore and many principalities or kings accepted Nalant's reminder, the problem was that they only sent the news back to the Holy Alliance.
As for the garrison here, they did not take precautions as meticulously as Narant.
In this way, when this huge earthquake came without warning, hundreds of thousands of troops basically settled in the relatively complete cities in the city.
The barely functional arrow tower on the city wall had already been stationed with enough soldiers.
When a major earthquake struck, the first to collapse were these simply repaired towers, plus many stone houses in the city that were used as residences for soldiers.
All of a sudden, the roar of collapsing buildings could be heard from all over the Duke's City. Along with the billowing smoke and dust, there were also the panicked wails of many soldiers.
"Narant actually got it right!"
President Theodore stood on the city wall, looking at the city filled with smoke and dust, his face extremely solemn.
At this time, other empires, principality kings and leaders of various tribes stationed in the Duke City also gathered over.
Everyone looked at the situation in the city. No matter how strong they were, they were powerless at this moment.

“We should pay more attention to Narant’s reminder!”
At this time, the king of the Nok Empire sighed.
Although most of the soldiers in the city had already run out of the stone houses when the earthquake hit, many soldiers were still buried in time or were injured after being hit.
And before the war even started, the coalition forces suffered such a setback, which was definitely a blow to morale.
"Yes, but the result is not too bad now. Fortunately, Baron Nalant has reminded us, otherwise the losses within our empire may be more serious, and then the real catastrophe will occur!"
"With such a powerful shock, many buildings in our empire will definitely collapse. By then, the civilians will have no shelter or food, and we will be attacked by dark creatures in front of us. That will be an outcome that we cannot even consider in the end!"
The King of Blue Shield Principality nodded in agreement.
At this time, everyone suddenly heard a slight sound of teeth gnashing.
Then he immediately set his sights on King Bach.
Sure enough, at this moment, King Bach clenched his fists slightly, and his face was still as gloomy as water.
When everyone saw this, they knew what was going on without asking any questions.
That day, Nalant kindly reminded them. Although they did not completely believe it, out of caution, they still sent a messenger back and issued an order to evacuate and transfer supplies.
In this way, although casualties and losses are still inevitable, they can at least be reduced a lot.
But the Bach Empire may not be so lucky.
Not only did King Bach not listen to Nalant's advice that day, he even disdained to ridicule it.
It's good now, but you are really reaping the consequences.
And everyone was not prepared to persuade him. This was King Bach's own fault.
Of course, there was one person who didn't listen to Nalant's advice that day, and that was Prince Budolon of the Beast Tribe.
Although this guy looked equally ugly at this moment, the orcs were living the most primitive hunting life.
Therefore, most of the houses where the orcs live are caves or wooden houses.
It is estimated that the stone house buildings are only owned by the Royal Court of the Beast Clan, so the losses will definitely not be as huge as those of the Human Clan.
And if you look closely, among this group of people, there are one or two kings of principalities who can't help but snicker.
For example, Tucker, the king of the Tata Principality, sat next to Nalant in the Thorn Fortress conference hall last time.
At this moment, King Tucker resisted the urge to laugh out loud, his shoulders shaking non-stop.
If it is said that many other kings listened to Nalant's advice and made some preparations.
Tucker, however, was different. Instead, he issued a strict order to evacuate civilians from all cities.
Even though this would cause chaos, Tucker felt that with a magical existence like Nalant, what he said would probably happen.
For no other reason than his admiration for Narant.
Unexpectedly, his choice this time was completely correct.
The occurrence of this major earthquake will definitely cause considerable losses.
But now the civilians and supplies of the Tata Principality have been evacuated outside the city. Even if the stone houses and buildings in the city are somewhat damaged, it doesn't matter.
After all, as long as the civilians are safe and supplies are sufficient, just a few stone houses and buildings can be renovated in just a month or two.
"Everyone, look at the sky over there."
At this moment, Theodore pointed to the depths of the Death Land and spoke to everyone.
Everyone looked over after hearing this, and the next moment, everyone saw a shocking scene.
I saw puffs of smoke rising straight into the sky from the distant sky.
Obviously, it was the smoke and dust that appeared after the collision of two continents.
However, besides being shocking, the smoke also told everyone another thing, that is, the falling edge of the dark abyss was not too far away from their Duke City.
"The Dark Abyss actually directly impacted less than half of our Holy Continent. Aren't they afraid that the Holy Continent will collapse?"
All the kings expressed surprise.
"I think the Lords of the Dark Abyss have gained plenty of experience by constantly attacking the human continent, so they probably know that this will not cause our Holy Continent to collapse!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, President Theodore shook his head and expressed his speculation.
The other kings nodded after hearing this. Indeed, they also knew the details of what happened in the Duke City last time.
Therefore, these kings also knew what the black dragon told Nalant and others.
"Everyone, you can start preparing now, the dark creatures have arrived!"
Theodore reminded the kings of empires and principalities.
Now that it is confirmed that the place where the Dark Abyss falls is much closer than expected, the arrival of the dark creatures will be earlier than originally thought.
…
"My lord! My lord, are you okay?"
At the same time, on the wall of the small city where Nalant was stationed, Quick and others ran towards a tent directly above the gate in panic.
"I'm fine!"
Nalant walked out of the tent with a calm tone at this time, not affected by the huge earthquake at all.
However, Nalant's face was quite serious. It was obvious that he was not happy that he had guessed the arrival of this big earthquake, but was even more worried.
Because of such a strong vibration, countless humans and beasts will be affected throughout the Holy Continent.
Beasts are better off, but humans all like to live in houses.
Nalant didn't think that his reminders a few days ago could completely avoid casualties, so he didn't know how much damage the Holy Alliance would suffer this time.
"Sir, your prediction has come true. The Dark Continent is really connected to our Holy Continent by falling!"
"Yes, this is too scary!" At this time, the little girl Shirley also leaned forward with the support of Vivian and others.
"Shirley, are there any casualties in the city?" Nalant shook his head helplessly and asked the little girl Shirley about the situation.
"Sir, Bee found that dozens of stone houses collapsed in the city, and they did hit some soldiers and serfs transporting supplies."
"However, fortunately, those stone houses are the lowest stone houses, so the soldiers and serfs were only injured and had already run to the open area with the help of other companions."
"By the way, sir, Shirley forgot. It seems that a soldier was buried by a stone. That is a soldier of the beast tribe."
"That guy was talking bad about you, sir, just before the earthquake happened. At this moment, an earthquake suddenly occurred and buried him directly!"
"Hehe, this orc really deserves it!"
Little girl Shirley showed a happy smile.
"That's good!" Nalant smiled slightly and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
It would be best if there were not too many casualties in the city, and it would not be in vain for him to go to war and demolish buildings in this city a few days ago.
And the shaking continued for an hour later.
During this hour, the entire Holy Continent, whether human or beast, was trembling.
Especially the civilian serfs, because they did not have enough information channels and knowledge, they felt extremely scared when faced with this shock that was like the end of the world.
At this hour, everyone is constantly praying to the gods, hoping that the gods can bless them.
And when the earthquake finally ended an hour later, these civilians and serfs had not yet been freed from their panic. Many people sadly found that the stone houses they lived in had been destroyed by the earthquake.
All of a sudden, the civilian serfs were crying and wailing at the collapsed houses.
However, fortunately among the misfortunes, the principality and the empire followed Nalant's advice, and although many serfs and civilians lost food, they avoided greater losses and tragedies because of their early withdrawal and the transfer of food.
.
Gradually, many serfs and civilians who reacted stopped crying and instead expressed gratitude toward the sky.
"Thank you Baron Narante!"
"Baron Nalant is really the son of God. If it weren't for him, we would probably be buried in the house, and the sheep I tamed for the lord would also be buried under the rocks!"
"Yes, a few days ago we scolded Baron Narante for being nosy and causing us trouble. We are really bastards. We are guilty!"
In fact, not only these serfs and civilians, but also the small nobles of these principalities and empires reacted even more intensely.
For example, many nobles of the Tata Principality.
"It actually happened. I'm so lucky!"
"Yes, your Majesty, Baron Nalant, please accept my sincere gratitude and apology from Akli. Without you, my territory would probably go bankrupt this year!"
"More than bankruptcy, when the serfs have no food, I'm afraid there will be riots!"
"A few days ago, I thought Baron Narante was abominable, for he actually tempted our King to issue such a ridiculous order."
"But now all this is really the blessing of Baron Nalant!"
…
Nalant had no idea that he had once again become famous in this holy continent and received tens of millions or even billions of thanks.
After the earthquake stopped, he immediately asked soldiers to conduct a city-wide survey to ensure that no injured were left behind.
After doing all this, he returned to the tent.
Because he knew that the arrival of the dark creatures was not far away, and it was time to recharge his batteries and wait for the crisis to come.
The dark creatures arrived faster than anyone originally expected. Just a week later, the Duke City Rangers at the forefront finally discovered densely packed dark creatures gathering towards Duke City.
Woohoo!
With the sound of the horn, all the gates of the Duke City that were originally open were closed, and at the same time, a large number of stones were filled in these gates.
And all the coalition soldiers came to the city wall and stood ready.
President Theodore and the kings of the six empires stared intently at the west, waiting for the enemy at the end of the horizon to appear.
An hour later, a black spot suddenly appeared at the end of the horizon.
Immediately, there were more and more black spots.
"coming!"
Everyone took a deep breath at this moment.
Then, these black spots began to become more and more clear from far to near.
The first to appear were groups of skeleton soldiers.
These skeleton soldiers are slightly different from the skeleton soldiers that appeared in the past, that is, their formation is extremely tight, which is no less impressive than the human military formation.
There are estimated to be more than 100,000 skeleton soldiers on the distant horizon, but their formation is advancing in an orderly manner.
More importantly, the weapons and equipment on the skeleton soldiers this time are surprisingly good.
Whether it's swords and spears, leather helmets, or even bucklers, these skeleton soldiers have everything they need, and all of them are fine weapons that can still be used.
After the skeleton soldiers, there is a death knight and a headless horseman riding a war horse.
Of course, these are just appetizers. If you only have this little strength, there is no need to make everyone in the Holy Continent nervous.
What is really creepy is that behind these teams, there are huge dark creatures following them.
Among these dark creatures, the dark giant python and the giant desert earthworm are considered ordinary.
The dark earth dragon exuding a terrifying aura is the death talisman.
In addition to the dark creatures on the ground, dark bats and dark gargoyles soon began to appear in the sky.
"Everyone, do you think these dark creatures are just the vanguard of the dark abyss, or do you think they have normal strength?"
At this time, President Theodore asked everyone.
"President Theodore, these dark creatures have already appeared during the last expedition. If the Dark Abyss only has this little strength, then we think highly of him this time!"
"But I think, with such strength, it is impossible for Dark Abyss to capture other human continents!"
The king of the Nok Empire smiled bitterly, and the answer was obvious.
The densely packed dark creatures outside the city are considered powerful to the human race, but they are obviously just cannon fodder in the dark abyss.
