When this explosive news spread in Lugaoyin City, all the residents of Lugaoyin Kingdom suddenly fell into panic.
Kurast Seaport and Lugaoyin are across the sea, and they have a very close trading partnership.
Because Lugao is located in a desert, there is a severe shortage of wood, and the output of fruits and vegetables is also very low. However, because of the existence of the rainforest seaport of Kurast, the residents of the city are able to obtain enough wood for dressing. Big businessmen and nobles
, you can also eat delicious rainforest berries.
As for Kurast, because it is a fortress port, and the surrounding rainforest is filled with a large number of monsters, it is impossible to grow decent crops.
This port city is Lugoin's most important food exporter. About half of the food harvested from the farmland on the gravel wasteland irrigated by water from the holy well is exported to Kurast every year.
It can be said that both the upper-class nobles and the lower-class residents in the entire Lugoin Kingdom have become accustomed to the shadow of Kurast appearing in their lives.
Some people even make a living directly by dealing with Kurast.
Therefore, the impact of the sudden fall of this seaport city on the residents of Lugaoyin was not only a psychological shock, but also a real and huge loss.
In addition, the location of Kurast is too close to Lugaoin. This port fortress built on the coast of Toraja Rainforest is geographically close to only two countries.
One is Kejistan, which is located on the edge of the northern rainforest, and the other is Lugaoyin, which faces the Nobile Sea in the west.
It seems that Kejistan is more vulnerable to attacks because it is on the same continent as Kurast, but this is not the case. Because Kejistan and Kurast are separated by about one-fifth of the land.
The Rajah Rainforest, those mire swamps and deep valleys are not open to any life.
The Nobile Sea between Lugaoyin and Kurast can actually be regarded as a Mediterranean Sea. It is calm all year round. Except for the storm surge and thick fog period that occurs only once a year, it is calm at other times.
of calm seas.
Some veteran fishermen even claim that as long as they bring enough supplies and fresh water, they can safely cross the entire sea area even with a fishing boat.
Compared with the dangerous rainforest between Kejistan and Kejistan, the sea between Kurast and Lugaoin is undoubtedly easier to cross.
This situation is of course a great benefit in peacetime, but it is not so good in times of crisis like now.
Therefore, the news almost immediately aroused great panic among the people. A large number of Lugaoyin residents began to pack their bags, and there were even people who were preparing to flee with their families.
Fortunately, the king's decree was issued quickly enough, and the kingdom's ministers all performed their duties. The division of labor was clear and the imminent wave of refugees was temporarily suppressed.
At the same time, the entire Lu Gaoyin Eye began to enter a state of emergency war. A large number of items were included in the list of war preparation supplies, and transactions were controlled. The outer city area was jointly inspected by the Desert Mercenary Group and the City Guards, and the entire Gray Street was almost swept away.
Empty.
The commercial district has also been greatly affected. More than 80% of the shops have closed down, and the closing time of the few remaining shops has been advanced to 2 pm.
On the commercial street, the originally bustling scene of people could no longer be seen. Except for some hurried servants who came out to purchase necessary items, all other Lugaoyin residents locked themselves in their homes.
The curfew quickly spread from the seaport area to the entire Shandong Gaoyin area. All unrelated persons were not allowed to appear on the streets after sunset. Violators would be jointly arrested by the city guards and desert mercenaries.
The nobles in the upper city began to plan an escape route. Many of the kingdom's subjects received more detailed information because of their official positions. Through this information, they learned that the entire eastern land was no longer safe.
So they began to prepare to move to Rogge Camp in the Western Barrier Mountains, and planned to use the business road that crossed the entire desert as an escape route.
It had only been half a day since the news of the fall of Kurast came out, and the entire city of Lugaoyin was already in a state of turmoil and chaos.
At this time, the Amazon warriors who were riding in small boats to the sea to meet the remaining royal fleet also saw their targets - two giant sailing warships that had been damaged to the point where half of their hulls had sunk into the water.
Thick smoke was still rising from their masts, all the sails were burned, the hulls were covered with marks scorched by the flames, and the wooden hulls were filled with smoldering and dangerous flames.
The ship on the left is the "Bell Hein", which is the flagship of the Royal Fleet. It is not bad, except that the sails have been burned out, and the hull has been pressed down by almost a third.
But the other ship "Di Hein" was in a much worse situation. A huge hole opened from its front deck to the side of the ship, and sea water was pouring in crazily.
Three pale-faced ice mages were standing in front of the breach, constantly casting Frost Nova, trying to seal the breach with ice cubes.
But the breach is really too big. The mages can't freeze the wound as fast as the seawater pours in. The ship's center of gravity is rapidly pressing forward. If it doesn't find a way to plug the breach, it will soon directly
Plunge into the icy water.
This is just the situation of the ship. In the middle of the deck of the ship, a large number of wounded people wrapped in gauze were lying on the deck filled with smoke and sea water. Their wails and screams almost filled the entire sky.
These are ordinary crew members or naval soldiers of the royal fleet. They cannot use therapeutic medicine to relieve their injuries. They can only treat the wounds hastily. As for whether they can persist until the ship docks... it only depends on them.
Should your life be cut off?
Just when the Amazon female warriors were about to approach the ship, several sailors acting as lookouts on the back strings of the two ships suddenly shouted in a voice full of panic: "They are coming again! They are coming again! It's those who
Winged monsters! Oh! Here comes Akarat! Their number is almost doubled!"
Upon hearing the lookout's alarm, the remaining professionals on the two ships immediately grabbed the weapons around them, jumped up from the deck like a reflex, and looked at the sky above their heads with pale faces.
The Amazons also heard the lookout's call, and Storm Queen Sara took the lead, suddenly leaping into the air, and soared into the sky like an arrow from a string.
"Our reinforcements have also arrived! Everyone, be prepared! This should be the last wave! Defeat them! We can go home!"
Drognan's voice sounded in the sky above the two ships, and at the same time, a ball of shining golden light exploded on the Belhain. The light gradually converged inward, and finally condensed on the war hammer of a female paladin.
This is Sosia.
The guardian of Lu Gaoyin holds a green-level reinforced mace in his right hand, a green-level protective shield in his left hand, and wears a dark gold-level crown on his head. He is covered in blood and stands with determination on his face.
In the center of the deck, fire-resistant aura spread out under the feet, and the weapon transformed into the shadow of a golden war hammer.
This golden war hammer is the original prototype of Sothea, which is essentially the mutated Blessed Hammer skill.
Zhuo Genan's words and the ships coming from the harbor gave hope to the surviving personnel on the two ships. Their hands holding weapons no longer trembled, and their pale faces returned to a trace of blood red.
At this moment, a large black shadow like a dark cloud suddenly emerged from the clouds on the horizon. These black shadows moved very fast, and they were also flashing with dots of blood-red light spots.
A black shadow penetrated the clouds, turned suddenly above the two ships, and swooped down toward the ship below.
Some Amazons used their clairvoyance skills to observe the black shadows, only to find that the dark cloud-like shadows were made up of monsters with blood-red eyes.
These monsters looked like bats, but they had a pair of forelimbs with hook-like claws. They kept making terrifying screams and swarmed towards the crew members of the Bellhain and Dehain.
They pounced.
"It's the Winged Demon! Martha! You come to command the Valkyrie Guards!"
Sarah stepped on a stream of air and stood with Drognan. Seeing the demon group begin to swoop downward, she quickly handed over the command to her adjutant, and then she and Drognan rushed directly into the dark
