173. Distress

In the battle of Feronte County, Lance and the others won, and it was a bit inexplicable. But in the end, they actually lost, because Feronte County, which is now in a sea of ​​fire, is obviously no longer able to live in.

For several days, Lance was wary of the devil's army or the figures of the demon wolf again. Today, Feronte County is no longer a place where soldiers can easily access it. It is entirely relied on Lance's air forces to patrol. However, judging from the news from Feronte County, whether it was the harp who suddenly disappeared or the defeated devils, they all disappeared quietly, leaving only the increasingly fierce flames that still covered Feronte County for a moment, burning everything, recording the battle.

In this case, Lance's mood naturally could not be better, but no matter what, there are more heavy responsibilities waiting for the county magistrate. What really fluctuates in the disaster is the hearts of the people. He needs to disperse the refugees of Feronte County in the other three counties and do all the defense work.

Although the battle in Feronte County has come to an end for the time being, the negative impact it has continued. Although there is no terrifying disaster area like Feronte County, both Black Valley County and East Gate County, which is under the control of the Baron, have been affected by varying degrees of slurry and earthquakes.

Moreover, even without the troops of the devil and the harp, and other demonized beasts, they finally walked out of the woods and began to attack people's cities without restraint.

All three counties have entered a state of strict martial law. Patrol troops are everywhere on the checkpoints. Civilians are assigned to strengthen city defenses everywhere. Fortifications are built, and there are busy sounds everywhere. There is less laughter and joy in the past. Several cities in Lance originally had a large amount of food garrison, but now there is no need to worry about the shortage in this regard. However, facing the influx of refugees from all counties in Feronte County, it still leads to insufficient housing in the other three counties. However, at this time, there is no time and energy to build additional construction. They can only use the method of installing each household to overcome this difficulty.

Everyone lives hard every day, but because of this, everyone has a sense of life.

However, the road ahead is still at a loss. It has only been half a month since this terrifying tide of demons. The next month and a half will undoubtedly be even more difficult time.

As for Lance, it goes without saying that he moved back to the county magistrate's mansion in Guruling, and Fiona, Layla and Ivan came back together.

After the battle of Feronte County, Lance couldn't help but fall into his mind again. Two of the things that Lance cares about the most were the banshee. When Lance came back this time, Vasqi, the owner of the tavern he had recruited, suddenly disappeared.

When asked about the two new succubus waiters, they were completely lost.

"When Vasqi disappeared, is there anything unnatural about her?" Lance naturally didn't want the clue to be interrupted. He always felt that something important seemed to be involved in it, but although Lance himself was in the situation, he felt that he was only on the edge of a huge spider web and could not see anything in the center.

But the answer I got was disappointing, and both succubus shook their heads and said they didn't know.

"It's nothing. The boss's wife is still the same. The day before yesterday she was moved that her business has been light recently."

"Did she mention me?" Lance asked.

The two succubus looked at each other. There was a helpless expression in their eyes. Lance now knew the answer.

He didn't say anything more. He just said to the two succubus: "You two are responsible for the tavern during this period." Then he turned around and left the tavern.

After Vasqi left, Lance went to see Kadiqiu again. Kadiqiu stayed in Guruling. Unlike Vasqi, she was semi-compulsory under Lance's house arrest. Although Vasqi also had Lance's eyeliner, at least she was unrestricted in her movements on the surface.

The result was also difficult to satisfy. After accepting the order from Lance to house arrest, Cardichao never left the house arranged by Lance for her. The most activity range was between the living room and the bedroom. The occasional visitors were also familiar to Lance, such as Sam and Winster.

From such a banshee wizard, Lance naturally couldn't ask any information he wanted to know.

"Girl, are you sure of the reason why I kept asking you to stay here?" Lance finally couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

But unexpectedly, this banshee wizard who has always been hiding his face is also a smart character: "Of course, the county magistrate is trying to use me to fish."

"Then let's go straight to the point, you know something, tell me you can leave here today."

Unexpectedly, Kadiqiu laughed: "If I let me go, how can the county magistrate believe that what I said is true?"

Seeing Lansla's face grow, Kadichu finally put away the joke: "Mr. County Lord, I sold my life to you with Sam and Winster. You should believe us. If I knew anything, I would tell you, but unfortunately, the Banshee clan is not as united as you imagined. There are many existences like me who are excluded by the group. Even if they have any premeditation, they will not come to me."

Lance finally sighed and asked, "Do you want to go out?"

"If it was ordered by the county magistrate, I would naturally go out here, but if there was no important task, I would still want to continue to be lazy here - I am practicing a magic recently. Do you want to see if you want to see if you are the county magistrate?" I was taken over instead.

Lance looked at the banshee girl in surprise, as if she had known her for the first time. Her brain was much better than the women in her county chief’s mansion. Could it be that the banshee is born with intellectual bonus in her talent?

With this doubt in mind, Lance turned around and met Evan Lefipain, who could form a sharp contrast in this regard.

This girl with thick eyebrows is now fully familiar with the abyss. Lance is also amazed by her superb adaptability. She even learned the language of the abyss in less than a month, which makes Lance admire her skill tree for being completely turned in a tilted direction.

To be honest, if it weren't for being forced by the situation, Lance really didn't want to meet this woman, but there was really no other way at the moment.

Because of the predictions informed by Wen in advance, the damage suffered by Lance in this battle was minimized. Although there was no way to completely avoid disaster, it indeed repelled the invasion of the devil and other creatures. If this kind of thing had not been heard before, the result would be unimaginable.

But the success of this prophecy also made Yiwen's other prophecy in Lar Village become intriguing.

I still remember the first sentence of the prophecy poem-

"The flames of sulfur burn the earth, and the roaring wolf devoured the sky."

The slurry erupted underground and the entire Feronte County became a sea of ​​fire, making it difficult for Lance not to associate this with the content of the prophetic poem. Moreover, after the battle with the devil, the howl of wolf resounded through the sky, which did not see with his own eyes, many people in the returned army saw the legendary wolf god with confidence, including Sam and Winster.

When he arrived here, Lance did not intend to deceive himself and say that the prophecy was false, but the key was that the content behind was too terrifying. Lance even issued a strict ban, so the only people who knew were Fiona and Aikiel who were present at the time, and even Black Steel, Lance had never spoken.

"The king wearing a golden crown has lost his scepter, and the lion that once gallops, the sun is setting."

"The raven returns west, the raven flies south, and the silent god of death is hiding your soul."

"Seventy and seventy, the death is coming."

When Lance thought of the end of this poem, he couldn't help but breathe. To be honest, although Lance was surprised when he heard this poem, he was far from feeling the reality contained in it as he is now. It was like fate tightening the rope around your neck, and you can clearly see the remaining life you have.

Lance himself was not the only one with this influence. Recently, he could clearly feel that Fiona would follow him wherever he went, and even saw her when he was sleeping and going to the bathroom. It felt like he was back when Fiona had just arrived at Guru Ridge. Such entanglement made Lance, which was already entangled, and suddenly couldn't stand it. But when he looked at Fiona's eyes, he couldn't say a word of harsh words. Although the girl's beautiful face was still expressionless, Lance could still feel from her eyes that she was staring at a baby that seemed to be about to disappear, with such a sense of powerlessness and loss.

Lance touched her head gently, but still forbidden her torment her.

The person who tied the bell must be untied. Lance did not intend to surrender to the fate described in a prophecy, so he found Yiwen alone and planned to talk to her. But the difficulty of this was that when Yiwen made a prophecy in the Kingdom of Asbellu, she herself was unconscious. Aigeel called this situation apocalypse, and Yiwen could usually know something through divination, but it felt that it was all unreliable trivial matters, which was also the reason why Lance had never faced her prophecy.

But this time, Lance had to face it. According to the order of prophetic poems, the kingdom was about to face the danger of falling. Although Lance didn't care much about this abyss kingdom, it was impossible for him to stay out of it because he was in the vortex of drastic changes.

He keenly noticed the incident of the banshee, the invasion of the devil, and the sudden appearance of the wolf god, which seemed to be nothing but a simple coincidence. All of this was like a thread woven in the darkness, emitting a smell of conspiracy and danger.

Even though Lance did not intend to get to the sky and learn the truth this time, if Yiwen could tell him something he urgently wanted to know, then this trip would not be in vain.

Taking a deep breath, Lance knocked on the door of Yiwen's room. (To be continued...)
