Chapter 45 The Night Watchman on the Bell Tower

Hongfeng City has always been famous throughout the empire for its beautiful scenery, but few people still remember the origin of Hongfeng City as a city.

In the turbulent era 500 years ago, a generation of empress Lilian started from the edge of the dark forest, led the knights of the round table to conquer everywhere, unified the three kingdoms in the north in blood and fire, and then led the army to break through the temple church that was flourishing at that time Headquarters, reorganized the faith of the church, and established the Judgment Hall that will make children cry at night in the future.

After she subdued the Southern Islands and the Austrian Federation and made them surrender, Lilian single-handedly established the Silai Empire, which occupied the entire elite area of ​​the mainland, and became a generation of empresses that will go down in history.

And Red Maple City was the royal city of Seya Kingdom, one of the three kingdoms in the north. They tried to summon the heirs of the ancient evil gods to resist the brutal Lilian, but they wiped the entire royal city with taboo magic. Immediately afterwards, the heir was crushed by Lilian, and even the wreckage and spirituality were made into a highly dangerous sealed item, which was sealed in the sanctuary here.

This is also the reason why the Night Watchmen of the Church of the Holy Church set up their headquarters in Hongfeng City.

The headquarters of the night watchman is located in the center of Red Maple City. People living in the city come and go in the small square in front of the clock tower, but they never know that just below the towering bell tower is the headquarters of the night watchman in the Northland.

"Ah~"

Norman sighed, staring blankly at the gray mist outside the clock tower, feeling haggard.

I just want to find a job within the establishment and wait to die. Why did I have to encounter this kind of thing.

The night watchman began to recall, how did things develop to this point?
Obviously it was normal before, even though the monsters in the city appear more frequently than usual, and the traces of the cultists are a little more obvious than before, but this is just to increase the workload and performance of the night watchmen in the field. The king can't wait for this.

Norman doesn't envy them. As a salted fish, it's a joy to spend half a day in the bell tower.

However, a sudden change disrupted everything.

In the middle of the night, when Norman, who had nothing to do, was about to take out his collection of paintings for appreciation, the warning wheel hanging in the clock tower flickered brightly.

Norman was taken aback. He looked at this thing that hadn't moved for more than ten years in amazement, and was wondering if it had finally broken down due to disrepair, when there was a sound of broken glass outside the window.

Looking back, Norman was dumbfounded.

Cracked, the star-studded night sky, it actually cracked!
Behind the shattered crack, Norman saw countless flashing scenes, the vast and boundless Daze, the forest with towering ancient trees, the wilderness with thousands of miles of yellow sand, all kinds of scenery, strange, magnificent and thrilling.

However, the next moment, a thick gray mist fell from the sky like a galaxy, quickly sweeping across the entire city, and after that, the world suddenly became quiet.

The things I saw suddenly became dim, and the city was dead silent.

Norman stared dumbfounded at the clock hanging on the wall emitting a holy light, blocking the ominous gray mist from the window.

Norman knew that things were getting worse.

"Damn it, alien invasion?"

Norman recalled his training course back then, and quickly moved the communication circle on the table.

But there was only the ear-piercing sound of "rustling" from the magic circle, and Norman, who wanted to cry but had no tears, had to go down the passage to the underground headquarters himself to see what happened.

After entering the headquarters, Norman saw the night watchmen with only three or two big cats and kittens left. Everyone was in a state of shock, among which civilians accounted for 80.00%, and the rest were novices. Norman unexpectedly Became the highest ranking person of all.

Then he was pushed to the position of the person in charge.

But it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Even if she knows that the situation in the city is not right, there are only a few civilian staff and a few rookies left in the headquarters.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Norman can only rely on the sealed artifacts of the headquarters to hold on to the clock tower, and then wait for rescue from the outside world.

It seems that almost a week has passed, and there are more and more monsters in the city, but there is still no sign of the Templar reinforcements that Norman was looking forward to.

Why do I have to face this kind of thing like a waste of food and death, fall!

Norman took the rest of the people to guard the headquarters, and the people who sent out to reconnaissance brought back all bad news, the cultists who were killing all over the city, more and more monsters, the sanctuary occupied by the cultists, and the midnight ringing The Banshee Voice.

The pressure in Norman's heart was increasing day by day.

But what he can do is to activate the power of the sealed item and cooperate with the enchantment of the clock tower to suppress the evil creatures in the city at midnight, when the monsters start to commotion, so as to buy some time for himself and the city to survive .

The only good thing is that the transformation of the bell tower by the witches' order is still effective after a long period of time. After the enchantment is opened, the evil creatures in the city will be suppressed to a certain extent.

But because of this, the cultists sent more and more monsters to gather outside the bell tower and watch as tigers.

Their attitude is obvious, we can't attack, but you don't want to come out and interfere with us!
Relying on the sealed artifacts in the headquarters, Norman and the rest of the people can persist for a long time.

But he, who has been trained as a night watchman, knows that they are walking into a slow death.

The group of cultists who had been hiding for a long time finally found a chance. Once the ritual of reviving the sons of the evil god is completed, everyone will be finished.

After another day of sighing and sighing, Norman suddenly heard a sound that was different from the past, rumbling, rumbling, dull but deafening, is that thunder?
Norman raised his head and looked out the window. The fog was so thick that he couldn't see the distant scenery clearly, but the fear in his heart made him make up his mind. Norman carefully took out a smooth mirror from the box made by Holy Silver.

Gently rubbing the mirror, Norman whispered, "Mirror mirror, tell me, what happened outside?"

The mirror surface fluctuates like the surface of dense water, reflecting pictures one after another.

On the small square outside the bell tower, the ghouls and other monsters that should have gathered raised their heads. They sensed the tremor of the ground, but they didn't know that the danger had come.

The next moment, under the leadership of General Xing Daorong and the lord, fifty centaurs charged forward with an unstoppable momentum.

It's as fast as the wind, and as slow as the forest.

The fifty tall centaur warriors were like hard tanks rampaging. After a wave of charge crushed and dispersed the ghouls gathered in the small square, they dispersed and formed small teams in threes and threes. Methodically surrounded and killed the fish that slipped through the net.

"Squads one, two, and three follow me to kill the enemy, and squads four and five are ready for support."

General Xing's shouts spread throughout the square.

The people gathered in front of the small square were mainly death-eating creatures such as ghouls and scavengers, while the more dangerous demon spirits gathered in the dark places in the streets near the square.

These invisible wraiths are far more dangerous than ghouls that can be crushed by physical damage.

The huge movement attracted the demon spirits, but before they got close to the slaughtering centaur, they had already noticed that their centaur drew the bow and set the arrow. The ghosts are all covered.

The arrows soaked in demon spirit oil penetrated their bodies, and the figure of the supposedly invisible demon spirit swayed and let out a shrill howl!

Just at this time, the flashing lightning was like a snake, covering the weakened demon spirit in the power grid, and the sound of crackling and exploding could be heard endlessly.

There was an ionized smell in the air, and the figures of the demon spirits who came in faded away, scattered into gray-white dust and scattered all over the ground.

"Arden!"

The deep voice of the demon hunter came, and the purple pentagram array was imprinted on the square, making the monster's movements slow as if wearing a heavy flail.

Afterwards, the demon hunter of the Bear School showed a ferocious smile like a bear, waved his silver sword, cut off the ghoul standing in front of him, and then stamped on the ghoul's head to grind it into a pulp, using his ferocity The momentum rushed out.

A figure entered the battlefield at some unknown time, and where the two knives went, there were only corpses of monsters whose vital points were hit.

Just like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, with the concerted efforts of several people, all the monsters gathered in the small square in front of the clock tower were wiped out in a short period of time.

Norman was dumbfounded, where did this fierce man come from?
After a while, Norman was surprised first, and then overjoyed.

Could it be that the reinforcements have arrived!
