Chapter 72 Meeting
Outside the city of Roselowe, countless adventurers and soldiers stared in amazement at the scene outside the magic barrier.
Not only them, but also the well-informed 'Glorious Knight'.
No one can watch tens of thousands of monsters being killed one after another and remain indifferent.
The death of monsters can be described as corpses everywhere. The number of monsters they had killed not long ago was less than half of the number of monsters that died in the sudden slaughter just now.
What is going on? Why are there so many monsters killing each other? Can someone explain this to me?
A string of question marks emerged in everyone's mind.
Many people were secretly delighted. Although a large number of monsters died for unknown reasons, no matter why, this was definitely not a bad thing for Rose Lowe. In other words, nothing could be better than this.
Many adventurers wish that all the monsters would perish together.
However, some people still smelled something unusual.
"What's going on?" Einbert seemed very uneasy. Arus kept tossing it around in his hands. This strange situation was beyond his comprehension.
Ambro also frowned deeply at this time. He also didn't know why Revelation did this. Did those people think that they could defeat Rose Lowe with only the remaining monsters? Although there were still many monsters left, Rose Lowe was already able to fight back after the sharp reduction in number. Moreover, as long as they held on for a while, they would be more stable once the reinforcements from the nearby cities arrived.
"Lord Ambro, City Lord Qiaolin invites you to attend a meeting with everyone." At this time, a magician from the City Lord's Mansion came over.
In a makeshift meeting room, the people with the highest status in Rose Lowe gathered together.
Ferro, president of Starlight Trading Company, Fulide, the wise eye, Drayton, president of the Adventurer's Guild, Qiao Lin, the city lord, the brilliant knight, and the priests of the Holy See all sat around a simple long table.
"There seems to be something wrong with this Qiao Lin?"
As soon as Sally saw Qiao Lin, she keenly felt a sense of incongruity. It seemed that Qiao Lin today was very different from the usually elegant city lord. Looking closely, Qiao Lin's eyes were sunken and there were many more wrinkles on his forehead. Although he tried his best to hide it, the haggardness revealed in his bones was still discovered by Sally, a thief.
"Is it because of working too hard?" Sally quickly found a reasonable explanation for Qiao Lin's current appearance.
That's right, in the face of such an incident, it is amazing that the City Lord Qiao Lin has been able to hold on until now without collapsing. Not only does he have to deal with internal problems of all sizes, but he also has to fight on the front lines himself. To be honest, the 'Glorious Knight' has great respect for this city lord. If it weren't for Qiao Lin turning the tide at the critical moment, the first wave of battle might not have been completely blocked.
"Old man, what do you think about the situation outside?"
Ambro asked Foley directly.
Fulide had been frowning to begin with. When he heard Ambro's question, he silently stroked his beard, shook his head directly, and said, "I don't know, I don't understand, I can't figure it out."
"Don't you have any clues at all?"
"That's a question we'll have to ask the High Priest. Apart from themselves, I'm afraid no one knows that organization better than the Holy See." Fuli had to pass the ball to the priest of the Holy See.
The priest smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Master Fulide, you are too kind to us. Although we have fought against Apocalypse countless times, our understanding of them is only superficial. Although a knight successfully infiltrated their inner circle in the past, in the end, that knight lost contact with us without transmitting any information."
"We still don't understand the intentions of the Apocalypse organization."
As soon as the word "Revelation" came out, everyone felt the change in Alvis. Although Alvis closed his eyes, everyone could feel a resolute determination from his sturdy body.
The determination to sacrifice one's life.
Except for the members of the 'Glorious Knights', no one else knew Alvis's background, but they could see that this violent magician seemed to have a great hatred for Revelation.
"Do you think this siege is related to the attack on my Starlight Trading Company a few days ago?" Ferro said after a moment's consideration. "It shouldn't be that related." Drayton held his chin up and said without hesitation: "To control monsters of this scale, I think even Apocalypse should have prepared for a long time, and they sent people to invade Starlight Trading Company more for that divine relic."
"A divine relic? If we have that divine relic, our combat power should be greatly improved."
This group of people seemed to be diverting the topic further and further. Letilia, who had been standing quietly behind Drayton, finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Now is not the time to pursue these issues, shouldn't we discuss how to deal with those monsters?"
The scene was quiet for a moment. Being stared at by everyone, Leticia couldn't help feeling a little guilty. She turned her head away and pretended to look at the scenery.
Only then did she remember that her status was not enough to allow her to speak on such an occasion.
"Well, ahem, here's our plan. We'll take out all the magic scrolls from the Starlight Trading Company's inventory to launch the first round of attacks. The warriors will carry them, while the magicians will be responsible for providing cover and distributing the twenty intermediate magic scrolls."
"No, if the warriors carry scrolls, they might hurt themselves if they can't control them well."
"Archers must also be used effectively, at least to reduce the burden on magicians."
"The magic power of us priests is also limited. The most important thing is to unite the strong and defeat those strongest monsters in one go."
Since Letilia's "guidance" meeting was finally on track, everyone began to discuss the next strategy, and everyone felt a little relieved. No matter what, the death of a large number of monsters was a great thing for Rose Lowe's side, and they also had enough confidence to defend the city.
"Boom!"
A sudden deafening roar rang in everyone's ears like a dusk drum and a dawn bell, and then the ground shook violently like an earthquake. Several people in the conference room lost their seats and fell straight to the ground.
"Oh my, my old waist." Fuli slowly got up from the ground with tears in his old eyes.
"What's going on? What just happened?"
Everyone's face was filled with confusion. It was obvious that the loud noise just now was beyond everyone's expectations.
The outside suddenly became extremely noisy. Qiao Lin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly changed his expression and took out a magic crystal from his arms. The surface of the originally perfect magic crystal now had cracks all over it.
The most terrible thing happened. Qiao Lin closed his eyes in despair.
I sacrificed everything. In the end, I didn't achieve anything.
"Oh no! Lord City Lord! The magic barrier was suddenly destroyed! The monsters are rushing in!"
The captain of the guards, his face covered in blood, suddenly rushed in and said something that shocked everyone.
"Let's go!" Ambro picked up the 'Lilo Maya' at hand and led the 'Glorious Knights' to rush out.
The monsters were like wild wolves entering a sheepfold, baring their fangs and completely surrounding Roselowe from all directions. Many adventurers had already taken up weapons to resist.
The same goes for the 'Glorious Knights'. While they were dealing with the monsters at hand, they were also searching for the most terrifying guys on the battlefield.
"That's it"
After concentrating on dealing with many monsters that were rushing towards the city, Ambro's pupils suddenly shrank. He saw an existence that he had only heard of in rumors in the past.
A friend suggested that I change the title of the book, saying that "The Hand That Steals the Void" is too literary and unattractive, and that I should change it to "The Invincible Player Descends into Another World" or "The Invincible Player Travels Through Another World", which is something simple and crude (`ω)
