On the Seven Towers

"If God needs these apostles to complete the task of destroying the royal capital, we should let them destroy it, right? Otherwise, it is against God's will. How should we deal with it when God really comes?" Julian asked rhetorically.

"But this stone statue has just killed several of your companions, and now it continues to attack the Royal Mage Tower. And your attack just now was effective, and it has obviously broken its arm..." Although Laura herself has been at a loss what to do. This was because she didn't know how to save the situation. She had never had Julian's idea of ​​giving up the royal capital.

"Do you want to go against God's will?" Julian's tone became serious, and he looked at Queen Laura with an unkind expression.

"I..., no." Laura lowered her head compared to the other party's gaze.

"Some people died because they failed God's test. Just like the apostle's punch hit the tower, I hid. They didn't dodge just because they were too weak. To them, I I can only express regret. But if you are not strong in some way, how can you serve the gods?" Julian pointed at the people running around the city and said, "These people are weak, and we can't help them. They thought this was some kind of disaster that happened in the royal capital, but since it involves the purge of the entire continent, they must have nowhere to go.”

Laura saw the tall tree people leaning against the city wall below, using their arms to smash down the bricks and stones. Those demonized beasts could use the tree people's bodies as ladders to climb up the city wall. , fighting with the soldiers guarding the city wall. Until now, the city's defensive shield has not been turned on. Laura knew that it was too late to defend the city from the continuous attacks of demonized beasts.

Julian said: "The royal capital cannot even defend today. If similar situations happen in other cities, the results will only be worse. But the destruction of the city is not the most important thing. The farms and fields outside the city cannot be defended. The most critical thing is to feed these people. Now that the farmland and orchards have been destroyed by the apostles summoned by the gods, we cannot feed them even if we save many people.”

"Then what should we do?" Laura asked.

"You should go to the palace now. There should be a large amount of food and supplies in the palace's warehouse. You need to mobilize a team of strong people to take away as many resources as possible. We can find overseas islands with relatively few threats to stay temporarily. , wait until this purge is over, and then come back to manage this country," Julian said.

"What about those other people?"

"Who else?"

"Those nobles, businessmen, and common people..."

"You can't take so much into consideration. Under such divine punishment, they are all sinners and do not deserve your sympathy." Julian looked calm, and then he said, "Actually, we don't need sympathy, but Who can sympathize with us?"

“But what sin did they commit that warrants such punishment from God?”

Julian laughed and said: "This has to be judged by God, so what can we say.

You have always been a decisive person. Although you are young, you do things without hesitation. At this critical moment, don't lose your advantages. "

"Then what are you going to do now?"

"Since God is going to demolish the Royal Mage Tower, let the Royal Mage Tower be destroyed. I will ask the surviving mages to pack up their belongings and find places to take refuge separately."

Julian took out a ring and placed it in Queen Laura's hand. You can use this ring to contact me when you are ready. I will come and take you and your chosen ones. Now that the divine city has been destroyed, we are now all on our own. "

Laura saw Julian flying towards the Royal Mage Tower again. He was speaking loudly to the mages through amplification magic, but Laura couldn't listen at all at this time.

Although she has always longed for power, building a beautiful and powerful country has also been her long-cherished wish. She has always hoped that she could be stronger than her father. But now the cruel fact is before her, her country is about to be destroyed. But she herself would run away.

She couldn't imagine that if one day she came back from a certain place of refuge and there were still surviving people on this land, what face and reason would she have to regard them as her subjects.

Julian's shouting below had an effect. Some mages followed his command and flew back to the wizard tower and the Kingdom Magic Association that had not yet collapsed to rescue those important belongings.

However, there are also some mages who are unwilling to obey Julian's command. They have been stubborn but in vain to attack the stone statue. Among them was a figure wearing a blue mage robe. This was Leia from the Ice Tower.

Her ice spell has a very limited effect on the stone statue. Whether it is the body of the stone statue or the vines, even if it is frozen, it will not affect the movement very much. However, she continued to use ice magic to hit the joints of the stone statue, as if hoping to slow it down.

Originally there were at least a dozen mages doing the same thing as her. But after Julian's intervention, at least two-thirds of the mages left.

However, Leya did not argue with the others, and cast spells on the stone statue one by one firmly and stubbornly.

The stone statue approached the last magic tower that was not destroyed, the Ice Tower. The rhythm of Leya's magic release suddenly accelerated, and the power also became higher. Queen Laura knew that she must have used some kind of secret technique, but it couldn't be without a price.

Leya's secret technique really worked. She created ice much faster, and the speed of the stone statue was naturally delayed. However, for the huge stone statue, this effect was limited after all, and its huge fist finally fell on the ice tower.

The ice tower did not last longer than the other magic towers. After being hit by the stone statue several times, it also collapsed. After destroying all the magic towers, the stone statue suddenly turned around and punched Leiya. The vines on its arms suddenly grew and swept towards Leiya like a thick whip. Leiya may have exhausted her strength and reacted a little slowly. She was hit by the whip and was knocked out in the air.

Laura saw Leiya flying under her, exclaimed, and hurriedly flew in her direction. A few minutes later, she found her in a pile of rubble.

The stone statue's attack was very powerful. Leiya's shield was broken and her body was broken from the waist.

When Laura saw her, she was already on the verge of death, but the great magician's mental power supported her and she was able to stay awake for a moment.

Laura held her in her arms and asked softly, "Why do you do this?"
