Chapter 1565 Evacuation
After the attack on Wilde City, the survivors of the local guild released all their peregrine falcons and carrier pigeons.
While reporting the attack to Dondoruma and requesting assistance, they were also alerting several nearby cities, warning them to be prepared for attacks.
As the closest large city to Wilde City, the straight-line distance between Minagard and Wilde is less than 300 kilometers, and it is also one of the cities that received the warning the fastest.
The head of the local guild, Ms. Fanti, who knew something about the forbidden monster "Black Dragon", directly skipped the step of organizing defense, and immediately arranged personnel to carry out evacuation and sheltering with all their strength.
The confused hunters gathered at the meeting place, wanting to ask the president for clarification.
With Wilde City destroyed and the crisis imminent, President Vanti would naturally not hide the whole situation any longer. She chose to come to the gathering place to explain part of the situation to the hunters.
According to her, some extremely terrifying monster had left its lair, destroyed the city of Wilde, and may be heading towards Minagard now, so evacuation must be organized immediately.
However, such statements and decisions are difficult for most hunters to understand.
In their opinion, Minagard, as the largest city in the northwest of the continent, has a large number of elite hunters.
Even though the ace Alcohol Team was not in the city at the moment, the number of top hunters exceeded five.
The number of elite hunters from three to five stars is close to fifty, plus the new fort that was built a few years ago, which can even repel monsters like the old mountain dragon.
I really can't think of any need to give up resistance, abandon my hometown city, and evacuate directly.
Facing this group of excited young people, Xia Zuo, an eight-star dual swordsman who had retired from the front line in the past two years but still maintained a very high prestige among the Minagard hunter group, frowned and stood beside Ms. Fanti.
He shouted, "What are you doing? Do you think you are the only one with courage? Shut up!"
Miles, who was the marksman instructor at the Minagard training camp, also came out, stared at the young hunters who were shouting the loudest, and said coldly:
"Chibman, Jerry, and Hemensa, you guys have just been promoted to four-star for a few months. Do you think you are so awesome?
There are so many things in this world that are beyond your imagination. Didn't you notice that the top hunters didn't say anything? It's you half-baked guys who are making the most noise."
Hunters are often bad-tempered.
If someone were to speak up in such a blunt way and the person speaking out were someone of the same age, a fight would almost certainly break out on the spot.
However, these two uncles were seniors who had served as their instructors since they were students. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were raised by the slaps given to them by these two men.
Several young hunters looked at each other, did not dare to stab, and shut their mouths awkwardly.
"boom--!"
At this moment, the door of the meeting hall was pushed open forcefully from the outside.
An old hunter in scarlet protective gear came quickly, followed by a team of heavily armed guild knights.
The old hunter was not wearing a helmet, but only a few people could recognize him, and they were all over fifty years old.
"'Gale' Ernest?!"
"You old man, are you still alive?"
"Haven't you retired a long time ago?"
Ernest waved his hand to interrupt the questions of his contemporaries, nodded to President Vanti, and said:
“It was a wise decision for your president to organize the evacuation. If I’m not mistaken, the guild’s highest-level emergency declaration will be delivered here soon.
The following bad news may give you some idea.
During an investigation not long ago, a battle broke out between the reconnaissance team and the oncoming monster.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Swift Sword Amos, Reef Pika, and Howling Ahun were killed in the battle.
"Flame" Bailong Yezi is seriously injured and unconscious."
There was dead silence in the meeting hall.
The names of the other people may not be so well-known in Minagard, but Amos is a native of Minagard. After Xia Zuo retired from the front line, he was hailed as the strongest hunter in Minagard.
Upon hearing the news of his death, everyone, including President Fanti, was unable to react for a moment.
Ernest let out a long sigh, "Don't doubt the accuracy of the news, my mission and that of the guild knights is to support the reconnaissance team.
After the monster left, we thought this was the most likely place to be attacked, so we rushed here.
Thankfully, the attack has not yet occurred.”
"The attack has already happened." President Fanti, who had come to his senses, whispered, "It's just that the first to be attacked was not us, but Wilde City.
At this time, Wilde City has turned into a sea of fire."
"."
Upon hearing the news, Ernest and the guild knights who had come all the way fell silent.
After taking a deep breath, President Fanti looked at the hunters whose emotions had turned from excitement to panic, "Did you hear everything?
Next, all personnel will do their best to assist the evacuation of civilians.
In the wild, without the protection of the city, hunters are their only guarantee of safety. The specific arrangements have just been explained. Let’s take action.”
Now no one raised any objections. They all lowered their heads and left quickly.
Under Ernest's arrangement, the guild knights also joined the team to assist in the evacuation.
After most people had left, Xia Zuo asked in a low voice: "Ernest, is what you just said true?"
He and Amos had been good friends for decades, and it was hard for him to accept the sudden bad news.
".Hmm." Ernest's expression was equally complicated. "Yamos stayed behind to cover Bailong Yezi's retreat. With the monster's strength, he had a near-fatal escape."
After receiving the confirmation reply, Xia Zuo's figure became noticeably more hunched.
President Fanti came over and put his hand on his shoulder. "All we can do now is to do our best to prevent similar tragedies from happening again."
In front of a house in the Minagard residential area, Nali banged hard on the door.
While yelling, "Mom! Uncle Pine!"
After shouting for a few seconds without getting a response, she winked at the person behind her.
Gene shrugged his shoulders, used a little strength and used his strength to knock down the wooden door, which was quite strong for ordinary people, along with the door frame.
Pine climbed out of the basement and hurriedly ran to open the door, almost being hit by the door. He stared in amazement at the young strong man who broke in.
"Uh." Gene laughed dryly and raised his hands. "Her name is Lao. She asked me to bump into her!"
"Naili?! When did you get back?"
Hearing the noise, Mapel hurried out of the basement holding her little daughter Adela.
"Just arrived!" Naili spoke quickly, "As soon as we landed, we heard that an emergency evacuation order had been issued, so we hurried over to take a look.
Why are you still hiding at home? !”
Pine's gaze stayed on Gene for two seconds before he retracted it and said, "After the incident with Lao Shanlong, we reinforced the basement.
I thought, instead of running out of the city with everyone else, why not hide in the basement?
This way, even if a monster comes, it won’t be able to attack underground.”
"And Adela is still young. We're worried that she might get separated if she follows the crowd out of the city." Mapel added, "We've prepared a lot of supplies in the basement. We can hide there for a month."
Nari was furious when she heard this, "There are shelters in the city, but the guild didn't organize the citizens to go to the shelters, and instead evacuated them outside the city, which means that hiding in the shelters in the city is not safe either.
Can a basement dug by yourself be stronger than a specially built shelter?"
As she spoke, she grabbed her sister Adela from her mother's arms and said, "Hurry up! Don't worry about anything else, take some emergency food with you, and we'll leave the city immediately!"
Mapel and Pine looked at each other and felt that what Nellie said made sense.
He quickly grabbed some baby food, cold-proof clothing, and a bag of dry food, and followed Nari to leave the city.
There were not many people left in the city, so the few of them traveled lightly, and with Gene, a tall and strong man, leading the way, they quickly got out of the city gate and arrived at an open area on the outskirts of the city.
Just as they were about to follow the evacuation team organized by the guild and continue to the evacuation site, Gene suddenly stopped.
The terrifying feeling that had appeared repeatedly in his nightmares surged into his heart.
He turned his head suddenly and looked towards the distant horizon.
He couldn't see anything, but he could feel that some extremely terrifying existence was approaching rapidly.
"That guy is here!"
He tightened the ferocious pale sword behind him and said, "Stay with the team. I'll try to lure it away!"
