The earthquake at noon on April 18 once rolled up smoke that covered the sky and the sun, and it was not barely dissipated until the evening.
Due to some special reason, the fatal destructive power generated by the earthquake was controlled within an extremely limited range, so that Donner suspected the fall of the huge rock mentioned in the battle report ahead, which was a bit exaggerated and second.
However, those knights who were only a few dozen kilometers away from the earthquake epicenter, experienced the shaking of the earth and witnessed the towering clouds with their own eyes, had a completely different feeling.
Throughout the afternoon, Enriques walked on the wasteland as if he had lost his soul, without direction.
His helmet was gone long ago, his black armor was covered with blood and gravel, his golden hair was covered with soil, and there was no expression on his ever-living round face.
He tripped over the body of a knight in armor, and struggled to get up; sand and dust blew into his eyes, and he let tears flow. Like a lonely ghost, walking alone in the hell of the end, until he met an army of knights…
It was late at night, and there were bonfires everywhere in front of him, and the aroma of roasted beef and mutton was filled with fragrance. The scene was like a grand safari in autumn. However, in the leeward valley where thousands of people were camping, the atmosphere was surprisingly dull.
Enriquez had regained his sanity, and he recognized the knight sitting opposite him across the bonfire. Silver-haired and brown eyes, big swords with both hands, and no armor. All their characteristics point to one person: the leader of the Silver Star Mercenary Corps, Coron, a level 11 knight.
“Maybe we shouldn’t have come here…but there is no way out now.” Coron said leisurely while fiddling with the bonfire with branches.
Enriquez knew what he was talking about. The huge shock at noon had completely wiped out Luoshi City, and there was indeed no way out.
A middle-aged knight opened his mouth, as if he was hesitating for a while, and finally couldn’t help asking, “Captain… do you think we were trapped?”
“What kind of trap?” Coron looked up.
The middle-aged knight’s face gradually became sinister, “Jesse may know the secret of divine punishment, so he deliberately sent us as cannon fodder…”
Enriques was shocked and blurted out, “Giant Jesse is still alive?”
The middle-aged knight looked at Enriques, shook his head slightly, “Yes, he is still alive, but we may not be able to live.”
“What are you talking about?” Coron shouted softly.
The middle-aged knight finally didn’t dare to say anything else, lowered his head and shut up, without saying a word.
At this time, a silver-haired old man sitting next to Enriques suddenly said, “The divine punishment may not be really a divine punishment…”
Coron said “Oh?” and then said, “El, what do you mean?”
Enriques subconsciously glanced at the side of him.An old man who was so short that he was a little inconspicuous, it is said that the Silver Star Mercenary Group could become the largest mercenary group in the western part of the Knights. El Gardner had a greater role than Coron. The latter was just a symbol of the power of the mercenary group, and the former was their brain.
“If the God of Light really protects Middle Earth, we may not be able to step on this land at all. I always feel that there is something strange about the black spots in the sky…” El pondered: “Maybe, divine punishment is related to magic.”
“Magic?” Everyone around the bonfire looked at El.
“Is it the Demon Duke…” The middle-aged knight who had just been silent for a while couldn’t help but interrupt, but no one could answer his question.
Coron pursed his lips tightly and touched his nose from time to time, probably thinking that this guess is reasonable.
