Chapter 231
With an excited look on his face, Gurner walked quickly to Nora and said, “Your Highness, you’re all right!”
“I’m fine, General Gurner.”
Nora replied with a smile. With the help of Thanatos, they had a smooth journey. It only took them ten hours to return to Lister.
On the following day, except for a small number of soldiers who were arranged to help maintain order, most of the people brought by Gurner were spread on the city wall.
On the street, Bryce and others were walking towards the gate of the city. Locke was busy dealing with the upcoming war, so he didn’t have time to take care of them. He simply assigned them to the posts of the patrol house to assist in managing the order every day.
“Hi, Bryce. Where are you going?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Marcia frowned and looked a little helpless.
Bryce turned around and greeted, “Hi, Kamp. What a coincidence! Are you also going to the city wall?”
Kamp smiled and glanced discreetly from the corner of the eye at Marcia beside Cindy. Seeing that Marcia was not angry, he felt a little relieved and quickly nodded. “Yes, since we have met, let’s go together!”
While saying that, Kamp had already walked towards Bryce and others, and naturally stood beside Marcia.
As for Marcia, she directly ignored Kamp, who followed her like a cowhide sugar, and strode towards the city gate.
“Hey, wait for me, Marcia.” Seeing Marcia leaving, Kamp followed her quickly.
Marcia, who was walking, suddenly stopped, and Kamp almost bumped into Marcia.
She turned around and looked at the Kamp with an expressionless face. Marcia said blandly, “Please keep a distance of one meter from me, thank you.”
“No problem.” Seeing that Marcia didn’t refuse him to follow, Kamp immediately promised. After saying that, he paused for a moment and said affectionately, “Dear Marcia, please believe that distance can’t stop my love for you!”
Hearing this, Marcia’s face darkened and she turned around directly. Sure enough, she couldn’t let this guy stay with Bryce too long.
Wait, what did this guy become had nothing to do with me.
Thinking of this, Marcia quickened her pace, and Kamp followed her closely.
Seeing this scene, the others laughed.
It had to be said that they really admired Kamp’s perseverance. He actually chased Marcia from the county to Lister.
Looking at Marcia and Kamp that had already walked out of a distance, Cindy grabbed Bryce and asked in a low voice, “It was you who informed Kamp that we were going to the city wall, wasn’t it?”
Seeing Cindy staring at him, Bryce’s eyes flashed with panic but soon returned to normal. He denied, “Of course not. We just met by chance!”
Cindy rolled her eyes at Bryce, with an incredulous expression.
Being stared at by Cindy, Bryce couldn’t help but feel a little scared. Finally, he admitted, “Okay, it’s me.”
“Humph!” Cindy snorted and rolled her eyes at Bryce. “You can only come up with some bad idea. Look at what I do.”
Bryce, who was waiting for the criticism, raised his head in surprise. “Are you willing to help?”
Cindy looked at Bryce discontentedly. “Marcia is my good friend. Of course I want her to be happy.”
Soon, Bryce and others arrived at the city wall. Looking around, the buildings were arranged in an orderly fashion. Compared with the previous lively scene, there was no one on the street. By this time, all the civilians had retreated to the main city area.
Above the city wall, the guards of Lister looked solemn. They stared into the distance and were well prepared to fight. In addition to the guards, there were also ballistas propped up on the city wall. Above the city gate was a black magic crystal cannon with a length of more than ten meters.
If Count Brandon was still alive, he would definitely recognize that the magic crystal cannon was the secret weapon of the Brandon family.
“Alert!”
Just as everyone was roughhouse, a shout suddenly came from the watchtower.
Hearing the voice, Bryce and the others shivered. They didn’t dare to continue to play and quickly restrained their thoughts.
When they saw the scene in the distance, they were all shocked and felt their scalp tingle.
In the distance, there was a dark mass and vast troops.
In the front of the army, there were countless giant beasts tied by iron chains. The giant beasts roared ferociously and itched to have a go. There was a harsh crash sound between the iron chains. In the middle of the giant beasts, there was a giant elephant that was more than ten meters high. Behind the giant elephant, there was a huge chariot with a palace on it.
As the army approached, the ground shook slightly.
The giant beasts became crazier and crazier. If they were not bound by iron chains and controlled by the beast trainer, they would have already lost control and rushed towards the city wall.
Boom!
At this time, a deep sound of horns suddenly came from the army. The originally crazy roaring magical beasts seemed to feel something they were afraid of, so they lowered their heads and were submissive.
Locke and others had already arrived at the city wall.
“What a pity for the newly built buildings.”
Looking at the house that had just been built in the distance, Locke sighed in his heart.
Hearing this, Marquis Hyman, Gurner, and the others almost stumbled. Before the war, shouldn’t the most important thing right now be how to deal with the army and protect Lister?
“Is that Lister ahead?”
In the palace behind the giant elephant, a middle-aged man in armor said, “It looks like a small irrelevant city without any special.”
“What? Are you so stupid to believe those rumors and think that Lister is a god’s place?” A general beside him said disdainfully.
“Amos, are you provoking me?” The middle-aged man, who spoke first, had a cold look on his face, and there was undisguised anger on his face. “It seems that we need to fight a few moves first.”
The general who spoke behind him was not afraid at all. He smiled and said, “Well, I also want to have a try.”
“Attack! Don’t waste time!”
On the host seat, Hawthorne waved his hand and said impatiently.
Hearing Hawthorne’s words, the two generals didn’t dare to say anything more and stopped.
“Warriors, destroy the city in front of us!” A voice came from troops.
Suddenly, the drums were beating like thunder.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The giant beasts ran wildly towards the city wall with deafening roars.
The ground was shaking.
In the face of such strong momentum, Bryce and the others on the city wall had already changed their expressions. Even the faces of Kotter changed.
Compared with them, the army brought by Jess was much better. They had been through countless battles, and their hearts were as hard as a rock.
