Chapter 51 War begins

"Perhaps you don't understand the rules and regulations of the Fourth Fallen Asylum, Teacher Hetty."

"Then please explain it to me."

"In simple terms, there are two ways for the Four Institutes to treat the Fallen: containment and imprisonment. The former is for Fallen who have not committed any crime, while the latter is the opposite. Even the Calamity-level Fallen are no exception. If a Calamity-level Fallen commits a serious crime, I will personally execute him."

"Then please execute me, Director Wyatt." Heidi smiled and told an absurd truth, "The Son of Evolution who caused the disaster seventy years ago is not dead. He is right in front of you."

According to the military records, the Son of God No. 1 was confirmed dead on the seventh day after his birth seventy years ago. He rushed all the way to the foot of the Dragon Bone Mountains and seemed to want to cross the mountains, but failed.

The failure of the birth ceremony caused the Son of God to be very incomplete and eventually die.

But now there is a Calamity-level Fallen who claims to be the No. 1 Son of God. This is ridiculous to anyone.

Even Wyatt himself was the same, he knew very well that the Son of God No. 1 was dead.

"Whether you are guilty or not is not within the scope of the Fourth Institute's work, but I will ask the Inquisition to judge you fairly." Wyatt was about to leave. "If you really want to resolve the crisis in Winterhold, please at least be honest with me."

“…I am the target of the tree planter and the Nativity Society.”

"Then why don't you leave Winterhold?"

"I want to do that, but they will do anything to find me."

After that, Hetty turned her gaze towards the door.

Although the door to the room was closed, Wyatt knew exactly what she cared about.

Those children outside cannot escape, the Nativity will know where they are, and the pagans will definitely attack these children in order to make Hetty appear.

Hetty is now in a dilemma. Wyatt knows very well that Winterhold Fortress is the safest place in the entire Wasteland Territory. If even here cannot shelter these children, then he can only bet that the Inquisition will divide all the children into four schools.

Wyatt's first impression of Hetty was that she was at ease, but this was the first time Wyatt saw Hetty looking lonely.

The Nativity Society needs an apostle. This has been their long-cherished wish. Perhaps they got some method from the tree planter. In short, now they are chasing Hetty, and they must want to make her an "evolution" apostle.

As for the purpose of planting trees, it will only be worse than the purpose of birth.

"Don't worry, they can't attack Winterhold Fortress."

"Yeah."

"Also, since you have all been marked by me, it means that I have accepted you. Now that we are together, I am your leader."

"Oh, then everything depends on you, dear Director Wyatt."

…………

The peaceful days of Winterhold are over, and the day of the pagan attack has arrived.

The Wasteland Territory has entered the cold winter again. This endless plain has been dyed white. The sky and the earth are covered with snow, which is very monotonous.

And in the midst of the heavy snow, the fortress of Winterhold stood as strong as ever.

On the north city wall, the soldiers stood straight, alert to any movements from the north.

The main city tower was the gathering place for high-ranking officials. Wyatt, Duke Raymond, and a group of officers from the Winterhold Fortress were gathered here at the moment, ready to respond to the attacks of the pagans at any time.

Dorothy and Adela are responsible for Wyatt's guards. They will go to the battlefield when necessary, but out of selfishness, Wyatt does not want them to go to the battlefield.

Of course, the same goes for the children in the dungeon.

Hetty is currently staying in the dungeon, calming the children down.

They knew very well the purpose of Winterhold Fortress taking them in, and they also knew that today was the most critical day. Outside were the pagans who had persecuted them for a long time, and inside Winterhold Fortress were the teachers who pulled them out of the quagmire, and a group of soldiers who were guarding their safety.

The dungeon of Winterhold Fortress is warm and pleasant to live in, and they don't want it to be destroyed.

They are willing to go to war.

"coming."

Wyatt suddenly opened his eyes, and his divine perception had already detected the approach of evil spirits. It was obvious that the pagans had concealed their existence in some way, but the real evil spirits could not escape Wyatt's eyes.

The ritual that had been set up long ago was automatically triggered at this moment, and holy light suddenly emerged on the plains north of Winterhold. Under the illumination of these lights, the pagans had no way to hide.

It was a dark mass, and preliminary estimates suggested that there were a total of a thousand people, of which about two hundred were pagans, and they were all hiding in the back.

Charging in the front were the little Fallen who were enslaved by the Society of the Advent, and the contaminated creatures secretly created by the Arborists.

These cannon fodders are like time bombs. If you are not careful, each of them can cause unexpected harm.

As they charged, the pagans in the rear began to tinker with the work in full swing. It was obvious that they were preparing to pollute the planting of the mother tree.

"Strike the rear!"

At Duke Raymond's command, the military order was quickly transmitted to the front line.

Archers, magicians, and all soldiers capable of long-range strikes attacked in an orderly manner, dealing continuous and steady blows to the pagans in the rear.

This is both interference and a test. At least for now, it is certain that even if Winterhold Fortress uses all its firepower, it will be difficult to break the defenses set up by the pagans in an instant.

This is not something that a Nativity scene can give, and it is clear that the tree planters made a great effort.

Many possibilities popped up in Wyatt's mind at this moment, and he even thought about the possibility of the fate of the tree-planting apostle.

All in all, the battle has just begun.

"Get ready to go down the mountain."

"Director Wyatt." Duke Raymond called Wyatt, "It's too early to go down the mountain now."

"The other side wants to launch a blitzkrieg. I believe you can see that, Duke Raymond." Wyatt did not change his mind. "We should break through the other side's defense as soon as possible and prevent the contaminated mother tree from sowing. Only in this way can we seize the initiative."

Duke Raymond had no intention of continuing to stop Wyatt. At this moment, he had finally gotten a glimpse of the "heretic butcher".

A civilian priest has the courage to go to the battlefield himself. Even an experienced military priest may not have such courage.

What's more, he is still young.

"Lian, Hansen, you go together and make sure Director Wyatt is safe."

"Yes, Duke Raymond!"

Ryan and Hansen are Duke Raymond's personal guards, and are also among the older group of Fallen in Winterhold Fortress.

Wyatt led Dorothy, Adela and others to quickly leave Winterhold Fortress and come to the front line.

Seeing large groups of mad corrupted and contaminated creatures charging towards our front line, Wyatt immediately rolled up his sleeves.

"Adela, use your supernatural powers to the fullest. I will help you suppress the evil spirit and resolve it as soon as possible."

"Yes, Director!"
