Chapter 73 Misty Tide
But... how could such a god exist in the world?
There is a paradox in this idea itself.

Because there are never gods first, followed by followers—all gods are born from thousands of prayers. When the belief of the supplicants reaches a certain level, the object of their prayers will become a reality, which is eternal. reason.

In other words, there must be thousands of ordinary people who are willing to sacrifice themselves to help others before the gods leading this belief can appear.

However, it is rare to have such a noble person, let alone thousands?

If there were such a group of people, the world would not be what it is today.

Resk closed his eyes, allowing his mind to connect with the surrounding mist, using the mist to expand his range of perception.

He "saw" that strange four-wheeled vehicle going farther and farther, even without the guidance of the magic lamp, its direction was pointing directly to the west beach, as if it was not afraid of the fog at all; he "saw" the people of Gaotian Mining He had already fought with three rescuers, the latter's firearms were still sharp, and he beat his opponents to their knees; he "saw" some of the slave workers couldn't bear it, and began to discredit the direction of Fort Brilliance, although some people's direction It is doomed that they will never get out of the foggy area.

He also "saw" another small group of people appearing in the northeast direction, that is, in the wilderness farther from the city.They approached the place where the train overturned in twos and threes, their movements were quite quick, and they obviously had a very detailed understanding of the terrain in the foggy area.

But behind them, a heavy-duty train also drove out of the mining field, and rushed to the accident site at high speed, and this time period is obviously not suitable for transporting ore.

In addition, there are some things that he can't see but can imagine, such as the city guard who was awakened by the report overnight, such as other companies that have close ties with Gaotian Mining, and they will definitely take action.

For a moment, this area that was originally rarely visited by people seemed to become the center of Fort Brilliance. All forces were alarmed by a sudden carjacking and threw themselves into the vortex one after another.

But this is not good news for the underdog.

Whether they want to escape back to Fort Glory or find other ways to survive, they are facing opponents with more numbers and stronger strength.If no one helps them, presumably less than half of them will be able to achieve their goals in the end...

Resk thought of this, and took off the horns pinned to his waist.

This move was not in his plan.

But after seeing these "robbers", his inner thoughts changed slightly.

——The world may not be that hopeless yet.

"Woo—————————————" Resk blew the horn that only he could hear.

……

clang--!clang--!clang--!
The deep and continuous ringing of the bell broke the silence of the night in Brilliant Fort.For the newly relocated residents, it was the first time for them to hear such a bell ringing. After being awakened, they could only feel restless and annoyed, after all, it disturbed their sleep.

For the old residents who have lived here for decades, fear is their only feeling.

Sandra also froze in place.

Just 10 minutes ago, she received a report from her subordinates that a train derailed in the east area of ​​the smelter, and Gaotian Mining Company had sent personnel to the foggy area for rescue.Since rescue is also one of the responsibilities of the city guard, Sandella planned to send a night patrol to check the situation, but she didn't expect that the city would ring the alarm just after gathering the personnel.

As the commander of the city guard, although it was the first time she heard the bell ringing, she still knew the meaning of the bell well.It was also because of this that she doubted her ears a little.

Ringing the bell means that the boundary of the fog has changed significantly!
"My lord, it's not good!" Suddenly a soldier ran towards her out of breath, and said intermittently, "Misty, misty, misty..."

Sandra took two steps forward and held him down, "Take a deep breath and speak slowly!"

"Yes...huh..." The other party panicked after taking a deep breath, "My lord, the fog is approaching Brilliant Fort!"

Her heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

The reason for the movement of the mist has always been a mystery, but it does change, just as the wind will calm and create huge waves.The researchers divided the fog movement observed in the past into two types. One type is like the tide of the sea, but the rise and fall is irregular; and the other type will continue to expand until it completely engulfs an area.

"Wake up all the troops of the city guards and let them stand by in the city. You go to inform the port docks and prepare for a large evacuation!" Sandella issued several orders in one breath, and then looked at her adjutant Woody, " You follow me to the watchtower to the west! Do you hear me?"

Woody was obviously panicked, and it took him a while to respond, "Yes, I'm here to prepare the horse!"

By the time the two of them rode horses all the way to the watchtower, there was already a large flow of people on the street—they were all residents who had fled from the suburbs to the city for refuge.

Climbing to the top of the tower, Sandra saw a suffocating scene.Originally, she couldn't see the fog wall from this distance, but now, the foggy area seemed to be in front of her eyes—even in the middle of the night, these thick fogs were very eye-catching because of the reflection of the moonlight. They were all gray and white, towering into the clouds, like a Tianyuan cliff.Even a big city like Brilliant Fort looks small and fragile in front of the fog wall.

Now, the wall of fog has approached the wheat fields and farms outside the city.

Many figures ran wildly in the night, for fear that they would be engulfed by the fog.There is no doubt that among these people are farmers and herdsmen, as well as workers in smelters and machinery factories.Fortunately, Brilliant Fort only has city walls on the south and east sides. At least these people don't have to worry about being blocked outside the city gate.

However, there are lucky people and there are unfortunate people.

Those people who are farther away from Glory Fort are afraid that they will be horrified to find that they are already in the fog the moment they wake up.

"Has the Sapphire Pillar been checked?" Sandra yelled at the watchtower guard.

There are four watchtowers in Brilliant Fort, and each tower has a giant sapphire stone standing on the top of the tower. They are surrounded by reinforced concrete. From the outside, they look like a thick stone pillar. Only the inside of the watchtower has the stairs leading to the top of the tower. .These four sapphires are also the foundation for Brilliant Fort to gain a foothold in the New World.

Since the larger the sapphire stone, the better the effect of repelling fog, so protecting it from anyone's damage is also one of the main responsibilities of the city guard.

"Inspected, inspected! The sapphire stone of this tower is intact, and it has not changed from before!" The guard replied quickly, for fear that the commander would blame himself.

The spirit lamp was not damaged, which also meant that they basically had nothing to do except wait.

Sandra leaned against the wall slowly, and the scene of the Acropolis being swallowed appeared in her mind.

It was a small coastal city in the Old Continent. One day, it was suddenly covered by an erupting mist. Although General Phares Ben dispatched elite troops to help, all everyone could do was watch it completely disappear into the mist.From that day on, the Acropolis seemed to disappear from this world.

And she is one of the witnesses.

Compared with the Acropolis, Brilliant Fortress is bigger, and there is a giant sapphire stone pillar as a barrier, but if the foggy area continues to expand, it will disappear completely sooner or later—because once the surrounding sea area is covered by fog, traffic will be cut off The Brilliant Fort on the line cannot be sustained by its own resources at all, and sooner or later it will become a dead city.

"My lord, what should we do?" the adjutant couldn't help asking.

"The only thing we can do is wait." Sandra replied in a low voice, "If what we waited for was the tidal movement, then Brilliant Fortress would still exist naturally. If it wasn't..." She paused for a moment, "Then we can only organize the great migration of residents .”
