Chapter 372 Line of Defense

The heavy rain continued, covering the city of Katris in thick water vapor. The lightning that flashed from time to time in the sky spread the terrifying atmosphere throughout the city.

The fully armed convoy of dark cars rushed past the avenue leading to the central area of ​​the city and finally stopped at the barricade near the city wall. The moment they stopped, several men in long black raincoats surrounded them, each holding a large-scale mechanic gun.

Looking closely, there were nine people in total. Their black long raincoats were all painted with guards' emblems, but their heads and faces were covered under the hood of the raincoat. It seemed that Dean François had contacted them before, so the guards were not surprised at the arrival of the convoy.

Although this is the only way to enter the city, in normal times, this facility leading to the college is not so important that it requires a large number of people to be responsible for the guards. However, in this extraordinary period, only these people are guarding the area near the front line, which seems a bit abnormal.

The nearby vehicles were not only from the academy. More cars were parked near the city walls, including ordinary cars, gray vans, and armored vehicles on standby.

The common point between them is that the roof of each car is flashing with red turntable lights, which is a sign that they are all emergency vehicles. There are at least twenty vehicles in total, and all vehicles are parked at the edge of the city wall, which invisibly adds another layer of protection to the city of Katris.

The car was parked on the road a little messy, which almost caused the entire lane to be completely blocked, and the sandbags piled up on the side barely surrounded several fortresses.

The originally spacious sidewalk is also in a state of prohibition. At the junction of the sidewalk and the front yard, four red metal roadblocks were placed, and several yellow blockades were pulled between each roadblock. After a closer look, there were two lines of black text printed on the blockade.

It was spelled in imperial language "No entry" and "Catris City Guards" and was a little unseen in the heavy rain. However, around the barricades they connected were broken barricades everywhere, and it was obvious that someone forcibly broke through this line of defense not long ago.

"It's a group of magicians in old black robes, with blue eyes embroidered on them." A guard whispered, his face covered with rain, and even when he spoke, "they rushed over from the western suburbs and broke our defense."

This is why the barricades near the gate became so dilapidated. Before the convoy arrived, another group of remnants of the Eye of True Vision rushed into the city of Katris through here. The defense line set by the guards was torn a hole in them. They did not play a defensive role at all.

The reinforced sandbags were pushed aside, and the urgently piled up bricks and stones were also bombarded, and the wooden barricades used for reinforcement were directly burned into coke. Just from the destruction traces left on the objects everywhere, it is enough to see that those magicians are definitely not fuel-efficient lamps.

Now the guards use obstacles temporarily organized by vehicles. The armored plates made of metal have certain resistance to the bombardment of magic. At the same time, the guards are still using all tools that can be used to strengthen this line of defense that has been broken through.

However, this temporary protection still looks so unreliable that Curt doubts their performance - these obstacles may only resist the lowest level of spells. But he also knew very well that the security team, who was already in a dilemma of insufficient manpower, had to bear greater pressure than usual in this chaos, and it was already quite difficult to be able to separate these manpowers to act.

Now there are only dozens of people stationed near the wall connecting the city and the vast mountains and fields nearby. We should choose to completely accept the assistance of the spells to achieve the results of reducing personnel in this way. The machines made based on engineering principles carry magic power and make the products of spells more popular.

You can often see small Grames attached with surveillance spells appearing in the alleys, and invisible servants arranged on the streets and alleys as the eyes and ears of the spells. What these guys see will directly react in the image-sealing equipment of the central system through the crystal mirror.

With one person's strength, you can obtain supervision tasks that require dozens of people to complete. Therefore, the sorcerers and guards can get more information without taking a step out of the stronghold. The guards patrolling the outside world are all ready to attack unknown approaches with live ammunition.

Look out from the porthole of the light armored vehicle where Curt and his team are located. You will find that there are several vehicles depicting guard armories parked near the barricade next to the gate. They are surrounded by a fortification made of bricks and stone, and the roof is equipped with unadjusted high-power searchlights. Several guards are also operating the machine to sweep the lights to the surrounding areas covered by rain.

In these simple fortifications around him, he clearly noticed that various magical powers continued to evacuate into the air, and were then strangled by the red residual light in one breath. It was the spells who kept firing out intermittent magic power, and they were trying to break through the enemy's obstacles to observing spells. However, the red clouds in the sky made most of the magic power of nature abnormal, and their efforts could almost be said to be in vain.

In fact, receiving the assistance of these sorcerers would have made the guards uneasy, because they knew very well that the person who created the chaos was also a sorcerer. They never understood what these people who controlled the incredible power were thinking, and after the turmoil, the guards could not help but start to be wary of them - and this might be the idea of ​​most citizens.

However, they also knew very well that magicians were experts in magic, and only they could effectively fight against enemy magicians. Whether it was fatal elements or deceptive words, they could find the right spell to prescribe the right medicine and solve the threats created by the enemy with magic.

Therefore, after the dilemma of the magic power around the magic of the magical stalkers was disturbed by the clouds, the rest of the people were all cheered up. Especially before the news that Dean Cruz François sent a support force, the guards almost sent all their men to whistle.

"Thank you for your hard work! Please thank Dean François for your help. The spells sent by the academy are the greatest assistance to the security forces!"

After the leading guards whispered a few words to the convoy manager, they immediately saluted everyone and said, "But I must apologize, because we did not effectively stop them after the enemy launched an attack. The magicians did not know how to obtain the configuration of our defensive power, so they quickly broke through the defense line and went to the city - but did not cause much damage."

The information provided by Dean François was slightly delayed. It was obvious that just before the convoy arrived, the remnants of the True Vision Eye were attacked. The roadblocks for the dismissal were blown away by the spell in an instant, and the security officers who wanted to go to block were also subdued by them with spells.

They were like a hurricane, and they hurriedly left after blowing everything that was blocking it. The head of the guards shook his head and said. However, judging from the things described by the guards, these magicians did not have the intention to fight with the guards, but chose the least destructive plan.

"It seems that those guys know our attitude very well, and seem to be willing to cooperate with us." The man who was bowing in his seat whispered, his muscles that seemed to be carved from rocks tightly together, and under the dim light, he seemed to be a huge rock.

His eyes swept through the damaged blockade line around him, as if he was evaluating how much damage the remnants of the True Vision Eye caused to this line of defense. The blasted barricade was indeed difficult to repair in a short period of time, but the dispersed guards did not seem to be directly attacked by spells.

After a careful inspection, even he had to admit that even from the worst perspective, the True Vision Eye did not cause much damage. Although they directly broke through this line of defense set up by the security forces, they did not endanger the safety of the personnel.

“It’s true.”

Liqi, who had been silent for a long time, nodded and said with a sarcastic smile: "Those guys probably know that they can't be enemies with the madman who created this chaos, so they want to show their sincerity through this method. But it's really interesting. If those guys really want to talk honestly about how to cooperate, why should they rush through the defense line set up by the guards and rush into the city?"

The only possibility is that there are problems they must rush in to solve - whether they are some important magic tools in the hands of the enemy or their hijacked companions, the remnants of the True Vision Eye can obviously no longer resist the urge to solve the trouble immediately.

This is true for them, and for the sorcerers who are accompanying them, Seindemocra has mastered many spells that have not been understood by the academy, which is the key to his ability to stab the Eye of True Vision in the back. Not only that, he also has an important object stolen from the academy, and this is precisely the foundation for organizing the current spell. Not stopping his actions at this time will definitely bring disastrous consequences.

If you want to compare, the people here may be more anxious than the remains of the True Eye.

Boom!

A huge thunder sounded, and a huge lightning bolt dropped from the red clouds circling in the sky and landed near the square in the center of the city. Almost all the earth was shaken by the huge thunder, and the barriers of light standing around the square also flashed strangely.

Their next target is indeed the wall protection. When they think of this, the spell who controls the vehicle immediately drove the core of the machine and rushed towards the place where the lightning fell. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
