The tall city walls, the blazing flames on the walls, the sounds of slashing and explosions, all make people feel refreshed during the long night.
Tieke Territory is the hereditary territory of the Duke of York, and Tieke Fortress should be the strongest and most powerful fortress in this area.
The patrolling iron knights were still hunting foreign corpse monsters. The huge fires outside the city were already filled with corpses of all kinds, including monsters, locals, and refugees.
The process of entering the city was very smooth. At this juncture, as long as you can still breathe, you will probably know which camp you are in.
After entering the city, Lu Ping'an and his party immediately went to the local Church of the Traveler God.
After confirming that everything was fine inside and that the clergy were still in action, Lu Pingping and his party breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if the Traveler God uses time and space teleportation, there are many prerequisites.
The divine power nodes (churches) on the earth are the key. It can only be transmitted between nodes, but the prerequisite for transmission, the source of divine grace to transmit, must be a powerful priest.
As the God of Travelers, He has planted many divine power nodes on the earth, but most of them are abandoned churches like Schleyland. As a third-rate god, its clergy and funds are limited, and every small and medium-sized city-state operates
It is not realistic to build a church run by clergy.
Those low-level nodes can only be used as "end points" but not as "starting points".
Perhaps it is easier to understand with an inappropriate analogy. The starting point is the "airport", which can only be operated by big lords in big cities, and the end point is to give you a parachute and jump out by yourself.
"This is a token."
Lu Ping'an took out the golden holy emblem, which is the most advanced mark of the Holy Son. It is indeed a common item for tens of thousands of explorers in the Eastern Kingdom.
This contains the authority and divine power of the "God of Travelers", which can extract the power of the node leyline, and with the help of the priest of the God of Travelers, perform a teleportation in the cathedral. This obviously consumes the power of the God of Travelers.
Only the "sons of god" like the people of the East are qualified to use the foundation of their divine power.
After confirming that the teleportation could proceed normally, Lu Ping An and his party breathed a sigh of relief.
He was still in the mood to ask a few questions.
"Have any other gods' favored ones left recently?"
"A group of God's Favored Ones has left, and there are still many wounded among them. There are still two groups of people who should still be in this city. They will send someone over to take a look every other day."
Hearing this, Lu Ping'an also asked for the contact information of the other two teams.
Since they are all "favorites" of the Traveler God, they should all be from the Eastern Kingdom and can at least communicate with them.
There are many reasons for not leaving. The most likely reason is that the tickets were not sold out and the profits were not enough. This unexpected incident disrupted the original arrangements of too many people.
Now, this city probably gathers most of the surviving lords, nobles, wealthy businessmen, and powerful people in the border area.
"Are there any strong people locally?"
"There are quite a few. Angel level, as you call them God's Favorites, means strong men above the rule level. There are quite a few of them."
The words of the Great Shepherd made people feel at ease a lot.
After calculating the time, there are still nine days until the next wave of "ships" leave this world.
After making sure that the way back was safe, Lu Ping'an finally had time to take care of the situation at hand.
This incident broke out too suddenly. Although there were some consultations along the way, many things still could not be finalized.
"Do most of the victims refuse to continue heading north?"
Such a result can be regarded as expected.
As far as the road is safe, this seemingly mighty fortress is actually just that. When the whole world is about to collapse, this place is just a slightly larger stone.
If you really want to find a way out, you still have to go to the Holy Capital.
"Do you still want to go? The Holy City? It's too far."
"What can't be reached, what can't be reached."
"If I have to go back to that darkness, I would rather die here."
But obviously, some disaster victims don't think so.
Even though Lu Ping'an has sent knights and actively spread the "rumor" that "you can only be rescued if you go north," there are still only a very small number of people willing to leave the city.
But the city gate to the north is always open.
Every day, some people throw themselves into the darkness again, trying to go to the north. The endless escape route continues. Many warriors, wealthy businessmen, and nobles have taken the lead in jumping in, and there are also many followers.
But more people choose to spend every day in this city fortress with lights.
They were frightened by the darkness and monsters outside, and were willing to do anything as long as they did not leave the city.
This border capital has become more crowded, messy, and dirty at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Refugees piled up in the streets, beggars filled the streets, the bodies would be quickly cleared, and the nearly dead refugees would be dragged away directly.
There is no need for anyone to hold up a "The End Is Coming" sign anymore, because it is already the end everywhere.
Lu Ping'an and his party are in the best situation. At least, the lords, nobles, and wealthy businessmen are all here. Resources such as gold, silver, materials, and food can also be exchanged for some living space.
Lu Pingan had no intention of hiding anything. He disclosed a lot of internal information without causing panic.
".Only by going north, to the Holy Capital, can there be hope. Here, it is still just slow death."
Some people listened, and some people understood it but pretended not to understand.
But soon, a group of people set out on the road. Some of them were knights of the Knights, but most of them were just ordinary people. Lu Pingping chose to respect those knights who made choices, especially the deputy leader Benn.
".I know there is little hope, but without me, it will be difficult for them to even reach the next city."
The old knight said this and embarked on a new journey.
Lu Ping'an looked at his back and felt helpless. In the end, he could only give him blessings.
"See you in the Holy City?"
"See you in the Holy City."
The old knight left, taking with him a few knights who followed him, and most of the Schley leaders who were still willing to travel at night.
For those who stay in the local area and insist on not leaving, a safe road can only guarantee their food for this period of time. Considering the reality that a bowl of rice in the city is equivalent to a human life, this is already an extremely generous act.
The lord of Schleyland has completely disappeared from the eyes of the locals. He has completed the additional tasks given by Lu Ping'an, and he does not want to be buried with the locals.
The only thing left here is death? That's not necessarily the case. No one can be sure where the safe zone will be.
Moreover, even if the city was destroyed again, wouldn't there still be survivors?
In the past two days, this last fortress has fallen into a brief calm, but everyone knows that this is just a precursor to the storm.
