The floating fortress fired ten shots in one go, heavily injuring a Lord of the Abyss. However, there was no more movement after that. The runes on the barrel dimmed. Although it was still hovering above Storm's End Fortress, it no longer gave off a threatening aura.
However, because of what had happened before, the remaining Abyssal Lord had become much more cautious. It didn't approach recklessly. Instead, it retreated a certain distance. During this time, the other monsters also stopped attacking, allowing the defenders on the city wall to catch their breaths.
A while later, Angsey met Roche, who was commanding the troops on the other side. Although Roche's original sword was not as good as Lolo's Vengeance, it was still a valuable and famous sword. However, the blade was bent in less than a single spell. Most of the monsters were thick-skinned, and it was difficult to stab them. Hence, Roche simply switched to two battle axes. Although this guy looked listless most of the time, he was the epitome of a madman when it came to battles. He would rush to wherever there were more enemies.
In the middle of the battle, he even defeated a Tontas Rock Snake and saved Gaylord, who had a grudge against him. The latter hesitated for a moment, but eventually opened his mouth to express his gratitude. However, in that short moment of delay, Roche had already rushed off to god knows where.
Now that there was a break in the battle, Roche ran to Angsey's side and pointed at the sky. "What's going on? Where did this thing come from? "
Angsey shook his head. When he saw the floating fortress, his first reaction was that it was the Magic Association's doing. However, after thinking about it, he knew that it was impossible. There were only two floating fortresses in the entire Sacred Alliance. The Church had commissioned the Magic Association to build them, and the actual owner was the Church. Without the Church's approval, the Magic Association did not have the authority to directly use the two strategic weapons.
Moreover, after a closer look, Angsey realized that the floating fortress was very old, and its appearance was a little unsightly. It seemed like it had not been maintained for a long time, and some parts were even broken. It was hard to imagine such a thing happening to a national-level strategic weapon. Hence, Angsey could not guess where this floating fortress came from.
However, there was one thing that could be confirmed. Since the other party had appeared here at this time, he was obviously here to help.
Since he could not figure it out, Ancer decided not to think about it anymore. He took the water bag from the guard and drank a mouthful of water. Then, he looked at the heavily injured Abyssal Lord with a trace of regret. The Abyssal Lord was in a terrible condition. Just one more attack and it would be dead. However, the floating fortress above him did not respond.
It could be seen that this time, it wasn't a disguise. There were no more shells left in the barrel.
"This is troublesome." Luo Qi frowned and said, "That thing only retreated but didn't retreat. It's most likely waiting for its companions to regroup. I heard that there were four of them? If they attack together, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend ourselves even if the iron fortress above us still has cannons. "
Ancer did not speak. He knew what Roche said was the truth. However, there were some things that could not be solved even if one knew how it would turn out. So, after a while, Ancer said, "Do what we can and leave the rest to fate."
Although Luo Qi was somewhat unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
However, the strange thing was that the monsters outside the city did not attack again until nightfall.
After a day of intense battle, the soldiers were exhausted. Hence, Ancer sent a group of people to guard the outside of the city. The rest of them slept on the city wall.
After midnight, Ancer and Luo Qi handed over the defense of the city. He also lay down, but he was woken up by his subordinates not long after he closed his eyes.
Ancer asked and found out that a person had come down from the floating fortress. The person said that he wanted to see the commander of Storm's End Castle. Ancer instantly lost his sleepiness.
It was said that Luo Qi had arranged for that person to stay in an inn. Luo Qi asked him why he was here, but the person only shook his head. Since the floating fortress had helped to repel the two Abyssal Lords, Luo Qi was very polite to him. He did not interrogate him further and sent someone to find Ancer.
Onsey rushed to the hotel the moment he received the notification. When he saw the person in question, he was stunned. He didn't expect that the person operating the floating fortress during the day would be a girl, and a young one at that. She was probably only 14 or 15 years old, and she was only an apprentice Magician. Her face was still childish.
The girl was busy wolfing down pancakes in the inn. According to her, she had not brought enough food because she had left in a hurry. She had been starving for a whole day, but her master had ordered her not to leave the floating fortress. Hence, she could only stay inside until she received a message. The girl was very polite. When she saw Ancer, she quickly wiped her hands clean and said, "Are you the commander of the defense forces?"
Her voice was crisp and clear. Ansai nodded and asked calmly, "You are?"
"I'm just a messenger. My master told me to pass a message to you. Well … but I think he's also a messenger for someone else," the girl said as she quickly wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth.
Ancer raised his eyebrows. He was a little confused by the girl's words. He did not know who was passing a message to him. The girl spoke again.
"There was a guy who asked me to tell him something. It's not that I don't trust him, and Master didn't say to keep it a secret. But if that's the case, I'll have to say it again when you're here. Why don't I say it all at once? It'll save me some trouble."
The girl spoke very quickly. It was as if she was afraid that she would forget something. It was also as if her personality was like this. Once she opened her mouth, she spoke like a machine gun. "Master said that the four Abyssal Lords have been taken care of. You don't have to worry about the remaining two. If they dare to attack you, someone will deal with them. Also, when the six Abyssal Lords are all dead, the monsters might go out of control. When that happens, they might run everywhere. He wants you to be prepared."
After saying that, she thought about it carefully. "Hmm, that should be it."
Ancer and Roche looked at each other. This news was so shocking that they could not even digest it. "What? You said that the four Abyssal Lords have been taken care of? Who is your master? "
The girl shook her head. "I'm not too sure about the specifics, but my master shouldn't be able to deal with four Abyssal Lords. He's also working for someone."
Ancer suddenly remembered Rob's promise and asked, "What about His Holiness Atledd Richard Holstein? Where is he now?"
