Campfire Shelter

Chapter 53 Gathering Troops



The scene was quiet for a few seconds. Everyone seemed shocked by the information, and it took a while for them to react.

The old butler, who had gray hair on his temples and a tired face, said uncertainly: "Sir, if I am sure that I heard correctly, what you just said was that a disaster will happen in this city?"

As he said that, he couldn't help but glance out the window. Under the lights, everything was peaceful, and it didn't look like any disaster would happen.

Moreover, this place is already thousands of miles away from the "Magic Mist Catastrophe" area. Even if it spreads, it will not spread so quickly.

"Yes, so I need to use your power to mobilize the defense in the city. We still have one night to prepare before this disaster becomes unstoppable."

Colin thought about it. If he remembered correctly, there were several important key points in his previous prediction.

The first wave of large-scale shocks occurred after daylight.

The second is that "him". That guy seems to be unable to leave the "Holy Healing Church". As mentioned above, he failed to attack the church and was ultimately defeated. The other party did not pursue him.

However, "he" could control the attacks of lycanthropy, and he died of exhaustion in the endless attacks.

But now that Colin has that mission guide, he will no longer engage in head-on confrontation.

In addition, it seems that a group of people discovered the problem of the Holy Healing Church before him and launched an attack before he went there, causing the other party to suffer some damage.

Those who can cause damage to such powerful creatures are obviously a good team.

Although I don’t know who it is, I must grasp it to avoid giving it away in vain.

At this time, the old housekeeper's expression was uncertain. He wanted to speak, but he didn't know what came to his mind and glanced at Miss Helena.

"Are you sure?" Helena's voice came from under the gray hood.

This time her tone was much calmer.

"affim."

Colin's tone was decisive.

Once the person behind the scenes starts the ritual, it is absolutely impossible to stop it.

Otherwise, the entire city would not be closed down.

Firstly, it must be that he doesn't want the outside world to know and he doesn't want to be disturbed. Secondly, it means that the guy is fighting with his back against the wall and can't stop.

As for why "he" didn't choose to go to the wilderness to perform the ceremony secretly.

Obviously, he needs to recruit everyone in the city to sacrifice.

Of course, if you say this, there is insufficient evidence to gain the other party's trust.

So while talking, Colin opened his gray robe, revealing what he looked like at the moment: a pale and weak face with blood stains on the left half of his face, one eyeball had been sunken, and there was faint blood oozing out.

When this scene unfolded in front of everyone, everyone present, whether it was Helena, the old housekeeper, or the soldiers guarding the side, couldn't help but take a breath.

Colin looked much miserable at this moment than he had seen during the day.

After a while, the old butler with gray temples broke the silence:

"What's happening?"

what happened? He was young and ignorant, so he saw something he shouldn't have seen. Colin muttered in his heart. He was really just looking at it out of habit, but he didn't expect that one glance would almost kill him.

Of course, he definitely couldn't say it like this. He took a slight breath and said solemnly: "Because of the price paid for having a glimpse of this upcoming disaster.

"In addition, there is one more thing that can confirm the authenticity of my words.

"From now on, you cannot leave the city. There is a powerful force closing the city. You can try to go out to confirm.

"However, I don't recommend going now as that could lead to us being discovered."

After saying that, neither Helena nor the old housekeeper spoke immediately.

After waiting for a few seconds, Colin was ready to urge, but Helena spoke: "Please allow me to leave for a while before making a decision."

I've said it so clearly, why should I still think about it? Don't you know that time is life now?

Without waiting for Colin to respond, Helena stood up and walked to the study room next door.

After entering the study, Helena turned around and closed the door, then took out a gold ring from a delicate bag around her waist.

This ring is set with a pure white crystal.

Helena put the ring on the middle finger of her right hand and took out a piece of gold with a sun composed of circles and straight lines painted on it.

Then, she lowered her head, folded her hands in front of her chest, and made a prayer gesture. She seemed to be reciting someone's honorable name.

Soon, the gold burned like paper, but what came out was a pure white light.

Helena quickly went through the words she just heard from Colin combined with the abnormalities that occurred today in her mind.

Not long after, a thin layer of white light suddenly appeared on her body, as if she was covered with a sacred veil.

"I feel the breath of disaster, but I am still here. I cannot leave easily and cannot give much help."

"There are some problems with his words, but they don't matter."

"Assist him, he should have a solution and can be trusted."

"But the requirement is, if possible, save more people, regardless of their status, regardless of their high or low."

"Of course, everything depends on the situation. There is no need to force it."

A series of light and beautiful female voices full of sacred meanings sounded in the ears, making people feel inner peace and no emotions.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Helena responded in a low voice and piously. When she opened her eyes again, the flaky golden sigil on the table had completely evaporated.

She carefully pulled out the ring, put it back into her pocket, then turned and walked out.

In the hall, a few minutes had passed, and Colin looked a little better than before. When he saw Helena coming out, he looked towards her.

"I will assist you in everything, but I have one condition."

"What conditions?"

Colin spoke curiously. Although he wondered why this noble lady's attitude changed once she entered the study room, he couldn't care less about it now.

"Save as many people as possible from this disaster."

"Save more people?"

I can't save myself, but I still have to save more people. Do you think too highly of me?

Do you really think of me as an omnipotent savior?

Why would I come to you if you have this strength?

At this moment, if he hadn't asked for the other party, Ke Lin would have said, you'd better hire someone else, Gao Ming.

Seeing Colin frowning, Helena continued: "Of course, I just try my best. If it really can't be saved, it doesn't matter."

That's pretty much it. Colin nodded: "I can only say I'll do my best."

Helena stopped saying anything and instead said: "What should we do next? What do I need to do?"

"Now the personnel strength is too scattered, and the war situation is not good for us. We must first assemble the troops."
