Chapter 053: Assembling the Troops
The scene was silent for a few seconds. Everyone seemed shocked by the information. It took them a while to react.
The old butler with gray hair and a tired face spoke uncertainly: "Sir, if I am sure I heard it correctly, you just said that a disaster will happen in this city?"
As he spoke, he could not help but glance out the window. Under the lights, everything seemed peaceful, and it did not look like any disaster was about to happen.
Moreover, this place is thousands of miles away from the "Magic Fog Disaster" area. Even if it spreads, it shouldn't be so fast.
"Yes, so I need to use your strength to mobilize the city's defenses. We still have one night to prepare before this disaster becomes unstoppable ."
Colin thought about it. If he remembered correctly, there were several important key points in the previous prediction .
The first large-scale impact occurred after daylight...
The second is that "he". That guy seems unable to leave the "Holy Healing Church". It was mentioned above that he failed in his attack on the church and eventually fled, and the other party did not chase him out.
However, "he" was able to control his beastly attacks, and died of exhaustion in the endless attacks.
But now that Colin has the mission guide, he will no longer engage in direct confrontation...
In addition to this, it seemed that a group of people had discovered the problems of the Holy Healing Church before him and launched an attack before he arrived, causing the other party to suffer certain damage.
A team that can cause damage to such a powerful creature is obviously a good team.
Although I don’t know who it is, I must seize the opportunity to avoid giving it away for nothing.
At this time, the old butler had a gloomy expression and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what he was thinking about, so he glanced at Miss Helena.
"Are you sure?" Helena's voice came from under the gray hood.
This time her tone was much calmer.
"affim."
Colin's tone was firm.
Once the person behind the scenes starts the ceremony, there is absolutely no way he can stop it.
Otherwise the whole city wouldn't be closed.
Firstly, he definitely doesn't want the outside world to know and doesn't want to be disturbed. Secondly, it means that the guy is fighting a desperate battle and cannot stop.
As for why that "he" did not choose to perform the ceremony secretly in the wilderness.
Obviously, he needed to drag everyone in the city for sacrifice.
Of course, if we say this, there is insufficient evidence and we cannot gain the other party's trust.
So while speaking, Colin lifted up his gray robe, revealing his current appearance: a pale and weak face, with blood all over the left half, one of his eyeballs was sunken and blood was faintly seeping out.
When this scene unfolded before everyone's eyes, everyone present, whether it was Helena, the old butler, or the soldiers guarding on the side, couldn't help but gasp.
Colin looked much more miserable at this moment than he did during the day.
After a while, the old butler with gray hair on his temples broke the silence:
“This…what happened?”
What happened? I was young and ignorant, and I saw something I shouldn't have seen, so I suffered... Colin muttered in his heart. He was just looking at it out of habit at that time, but he didn't expect that one look almost cost him his life.
Of course, he couldn’t say it like that, so he took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Because it’s the price I paid for seeing the impending disaster.
"Besides this, there is one more thing that proves the truth of my words...
"From now on, you cannot leave the city. There is a powerful force that is sealing off the city. You can try to go out to verify it.
"However, I don't recommend going now as that would lead to us being discovered."
After saying that, neither Helena nor the old housekeeper spoke immediately.
After waiting for a few seconds, Colin was about to urge her, but Helena spoke up: "Please allow me to leave for a while before making a decision."
I've made it so clear, do you still need to consider it? Don't you know that time is life now...
Without waiting for Colin's response, Helena stood up and walked to the study next door.
After entering the study, Helena turned around and closed the door, then took out a gold ring from an exquisite bag around her waist.
A pure white crystal is inlaid on this ring.
Helena put the ring on the middle finger of her right hand, and then took out a piece of gold flakes with a sun made up of circles and straight lines painted on it.
Then, she lowered her head, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and prayed, as if she was chanting someone's name.
Soon, the gold began to burn like paper, but it emitted a pure white light.
Helena quickly went over in her mind what she had just heard from Colin, combined with the abnormality that had occurred today.
Not long after, a thin white light suddenly appeared on her body, as if she was covered with a sacred veil.
"I sense the breath of disaster, but I am still here. I can't leave easily, and I can't provide much help..."
"There are some problems with his words, but they are insignificant..."
"Assist him. He should have a solution. You can trust him..."
"But the requirement is, if possible, save more people, regardless of their identities, regardless of their status..."
"Of course, everything depends on the situation. Don't force it."
A series of light, pleasant, and sacred female voices rang in the ears, making people feel inner peace and without any emotions.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Helena responded devoutly in a low voice, and when she opened her eyes again, the flaky golden symbol on the table had completely evaporated.
She carefully pulled out the ring, put it back in her pocket, then turned and walked out.
In the hall, several minutes had passed and Colin looked a little better than before. When he saw Helena coming out, he looked over at her.
"I will assist you with everything, but I have one condition."
"What conditions?"
Colin spoke out of curiosity. Although he was wondering why the noble lady's attitude changed after entering the study, he couldn't care less about that now.
"Save as many people as possible from this disaster."
"Save more people?"
I can't even save myself, how can I save more people? Are you overestimating me?
Do you really think I'm the omnipotent savior?
With this ability, why would I come to you?
At this moment, if Colin didn't have a request for help from the other party, he would have wanted to say, you'd better ask for help from someone else.
Seeing Colin frowned, Helena continued, "Of course, I'll just do it as much as possible. If I can't save him, that's fine."
That's more like it. Colin nodded: "I can only say that I will do my best."
Helena stopped talking and said, "What should we do next? What do I need to do?"
"Our personnel are too scattered right now. The situation is not favorable to us. We must first gather our troops."
