The nobles have fallen into panic.

The door of the meeting hall slowly opened, and the old general slowly walked into the conference room. Looking around, he could see that the mahogany round table placed in the middle of the spacious hall was already filled with nobles in gorgeous clothes. But at this moment, these guys usually

The arrogance and elegance in his face had completely disappeared, leaving only a look of fear and uneasiness on his face. Seeing the old general walking in, several nobles soon stood up, glared at him and shouted.

"General Cobos, you are finally here. Now I think you should report to the parliament what happened! What happened to the fire that occurred in the civilian area before? What is the situation now? Why has the legion never been there before?

Report to Parliament?”

The clown.

The old general shook the raindrops from his cloak and glanced at the nobleman with disdain. Of course he knew why this guy would get angry. Many people in the noble council wanted to turn the Orant garrison into their own watchdogs.

It is no longer a matter of a day or two. For them, this is just a part of the power struggle. And they are the biggest obstacle in front of them, so these guys can't wait to get angry and want to embarrass themselves.

But what's the use of this? Thinking of this, Cobos couldn't help but sneered inwardly. Even if they were relieved of their duties here, so what? The situation below is unknown. Can they find others to help them defend their nest?

?

"General Cobos, please explain immediately!!"

Seeing that the old general was silent, the noble thought that he had caught the opponent's sore leg. He immediately raised his voice and planned to pursue and beat the fallen dog. If he could force this man with a high reputation in Orant City here,

If the general makes compromises and concessions, then he will be able to make further progress in the noble parliament, and maybe it will only be a matter of time before he even obtains the position of president of the parliament. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel more and more excited.

But what he didn't expect was that General Cobos ignored his inquiry at all. He didn't even look here, as if the person who just spoke was not a person, but a barking rabid dog. This

The noble was immediately furious. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Cobos, intending to say something. But at this moment, an old, steady voice suddenly sounded, like thunder on the ground.

"Enough!"

Hearing this voice, all the nobles present couldn't help but curl up, and the guy who stood up before had his legs weak and sat back on the chair. His face was pale, and he didn't dare to take a breath. But

No one paid attention to the clown now. They all turned their heads and looked towards the back of the hall. There, they saw a slender figure slowly emerging.

It was an old man with a white beard. He was wearing a dark tuxedo, and his beard and hair were meticulously groomed. Although he looked very old, his body was still as straight as a javelin. He held his cane,

He walked forward slowly. He stared at everything in front of him with a serious and cold face, and his whole person was filled with an aura that was not angry but mighty.

This is Orant City, the owner of this golden city—Hughes Wharton.

As a noble, the Wharton family is an indelible legend in the Golden City. It was the ancestors of the Wharton family who led a group of refugees to trek here and finally built the Golden City. They overcame a series of difficulties and obstacles.

It even broke through the blockade of barbarians and orcs, and spent countless time and energy building this great city. It can be said that the Wharton family's influence in this city is at its peak, and no one can replace it.

"General Cobos."

The old man sat at the end of the round table and stared at the general in front of him.

"Please report it."

"Okay, sir."

It was only then that Cobos nodded, and then he spoke calmly.

"So far, we have completely lost contact with the civilian and commercial areas. According to the sentry's description, they once saw a fire burning in the civilian area, but now it has been completely extinguished under the heavy rain. As for other aspects, we are currently

There is no conclusion yet. All the scouts sent out have not responded. The only thing we can be sure of is that we were attacked. But the identity of the enemy is unknown, their purpose is unknown, and we don’t know how they got into the city of Orant."

Hearing this, the entire noble council suddenly became noisy. It's no wonder that Cobos's answer was really unbelievable. It was an hour ago that they received the report. It can be imagined that the attack was definitely

It started before this. And now another hour has passed. General Cobos actually said that he didn’t even know who the enemy was until now!? This is too incredible!!

"quiet!"

Hughes clenched the wooden handle in his hand and knocked hard. The loud knocking sound caused the originally noisy conference hall to fall into silence again. But compared with before, the silence this time seemed more uneasy.

"So what do you think?"

"I don't know what the other party plans to do, but as far as the current situation is concerned, if the army is coming, then we have no way to protect everyone in this situation. Fortunately, so far, the noble area has not been attacked...

"

Speaking of this, even Cobos himself felt a sense of absurdity. The commercial area and the civilian area were obviously occupied, but nothing happened in the aristocratic area. Even the guards guarding the gate were not attacked. The other party seemed not to have any attack at all.

The fact that he was not interested in the central nobles and leaders at all made Covos, who had been fighting for a lifetime, puzzled. He didn't know what kind of medicine the opponent was selling. If the enemy was attacking, then

Generally speaking, paralyzing the command system as soon as possible is the most important thing. Since the other party can sneak into Orant City without anyone noticing, a raid on the noble area will definitely cause chaos. But these attackers are not like that

Instead, they focused more on civilian areas and commercial areas - which made Cobos really confused about what the other party was planning.

Is it because they are not familiar with Orant City? Can they sneak into the city if they are not familiar with it? Or are they planning to use the commercial area and civilian areas as bait to lure their own army to attack? The other party's commander can't be so stupid, right?

Cobos keenly felt that there must be some conspiracy, but for a while he couldn't grasp any clues. However, as the commander-in-chief, he still had to make a decision in the end.

"I suggest we call for help immediately."

"Ask for help?"

"Yes, sir, the Stone Legion, Iron Legion, and Silver Legion have not responded to our signal. It is very likely that they have completely fallen. In this case, relying solely on the Gold Legion can only protect

We have already lost several elite teams in the Noble District itself. In this case, it is meaningless to continue sending scouts. Unless we can organize a legion to go to the commercial district to investigate, but in this case we are likely to encounter

The enemy's attack. Considering that they were able to quietly capture the three garrisoned legions, their strength is definitely not weak. If we attack rashly under such circumstances, even if we can find out the details of the enemy, we will probably suffer heavy losses. By that time, we will suffer heavy losses.

, I’m afraid we don’t even have enough troops to defend the noble district. Therefore, we need to request support.”

"So what you're saying is... we need to turn on the beacon and request assistance from the Ten Towns Alliance?"

"Yes, my lord."

"We can't do this, my lord!"

After hearing this, many nobles stood up and protested loudly, saying that the Ten Towns Alliance is a greedy vampire. They know very well how cunning and cunning the merchant alliance is. They have been coveting the wealth of the Golden City for more than a day or two.

If they ask for help at this time, then the merchant alliance may take advantage of it and search for oil and water. What if they use an excuse to take over the city?!

"So what can you do?"

Facing the passionate nobles, Hughes appeared to be very calm. In fact, with just one sentence, he completely silenced the yelling nobles before.

"We are currently unable to contact the other two areas. In this case, the supplies in the noble area can only last less than a week. If you have other ideas, you can put them forward. I think Cobos

The general will definitely not reject such a proposal."

"this……………"

Hearing this, the nobles were dumbfounded for a moment. Are you kidding me? Although there are some knowledgeable people among the nobles, they still have to know who the enemy is. Now they are here with a black eye. They don't even know what the other party is.

I don’t even know what useful opinions and suggestions can be put forward? Is it all based on guesswork?

"It seems the decision has been made."

Looking at the speechless noble, City Lord Hughes nodded, and then he stood up.

"Turn on the beacon."

A green beam of light rises from the ground.

Zhan raised his head and looked up, and saw that under the gloomy sky, a bright beam of light reached straight to the sky. Looking from a distance, it seemed like a pillar connecting the sky and the earth. And at this moment, deep in his heart, Eno

Ya's voice came again.

"They seem to be requesting assistance, Master."

"Let them struggle."

Zhan snorted softly and answered Enoa's words. He turned his head and looked at the fortress at his feet. There was nothing there, the corpse had long since disappeared, and even the blood had been washed away by the rain.

As far as the eye can see, the entire city is pitch black, and the streets and rooms are shrouded in darkness and silence. The cold wind swirls and carries raindrops, blowing through the deserted streets and rooms, bringing only a

Cold.

The stage is ready and the actors are in their places.

Zhan took out his watch and looked at the time on it.

There are still almost two hours until dawn.

It's almost time to prepare for the opening.
Chapter completed!
