Above the mage!

Chapter 87: Rebirth of Earth Veins
When leaving Mrs. Misu's house, Gao De felt extremely complicated.

The development of things today was beyond his expectations, but the final outcome was good.

He didn't say he believed everything Mrs. Misu said in the letter of recommendation, but he believed about 80% of it.

Because combined with the information he had, he could not find any flaws in what Mrs. Misu said.

And the same thing goes, if you are 50% sure about something, you can do it.

Otherwise you will just miss countless opportunities.

"Okay, now there's only one thing left, which is to find a way to get to Saint Sean City!" Gode made up his mind.

He must go to this Seris School of Magic, no matter how difficult the journey is.

Hogan City.

City Lord's Mansion.

"Has the news been reported?" Viscount Charles, the "supreme leader" of Hogan City, frowned and looked like he was troubled.

"The report was submitted yesterday. It should have reached Saint Sean City today. Now we just have to wait for them to send support." The uniformed subordinate said respectfully.

Viscount Charles' brows relaxed slightly.

"It shouldn't be too late." he murmured.

Just two days ago, someone finally discovered that the concentration of magic power in some areas of Hogan City had suddenly increased.

No one is a fool. Maybe they will temporarily ignore something because of their blind spots in thinking. But once such an obvious signal is discovered, all the senior executives will react:

The continued activity of underground creatures and beasts outside the city for such a long time is most likely a sign that new underground veins are about to be formed.

"For so many years, no new ground veins have been generated in the Bremen area. We can't be so unlucky that it has to happen in Hogen." Viscount Charles also lost his usual composure and even began to pray.

If a new ground vein is generated around Hogen City, not only Hogen City, but the peace of all human cities in the entire Bremen area will be disrupted.

Then, the good days will be over.

As the human city closest to the new leyline, Hogan City will inevitably bear the brunt of the impact.

It's a nightmare just to think about it.

I just hope that people from the royal capital can arrive soon and sort out the situation as quickly as possible.

If new earth veins are really being formed, the army of the royal capital can be dispatched in time to suppress it.

Once Hogan City becomes a "bunker" on the front line of the war, his position as the city lord will be over.

When he thought of this, his brows, which had relaxed a little, suddenly furrowed again.

Hogan City, on the city wall.

The magic crystal lamp is bright.

The sentries on duty were chatting and killing time as usual.

Not to mention a small city like Hogan City, even in Saint Sean City, the sentries on duty do not have very strong discipline.

Suddenly, an inexplicable vibration broke the sentinels' ordinary vigil.

"Earthquake?!" The experienced sentry reacted immediately.

"That's impossible. We have never encountered an earthquake since the establishment of Hogan City?" another sentry said subconsciously.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the ground began to tremble more violently, as if an invisible giant beast was churning deep underground.

The stone walls began to shake and dust began to fly.

The magic crystal lamps on the city wall also began to shake violently.

"what is that?!"

Even more horrifying scenes are happening.

The sentries on the city wall widened their eyes.

In the distance, in the wild mountains and forests hidden in the night, an extremely bright light shone through the horizon deep in the mountains and forests.

It was as if a crack appeared in the ground and light burst out from it.

"How could there be such a bright light at night?" The sentries who witnessed this scene opened their mouths wide and their brains were about to shut down.

"Sound the alarm, sound the alarm, highest level alarm!" the captain of the sentry guard shouted, like a thunderbolt in the summer night, directly waking up the sentries who were still in shock.

His face was distorted by nervousness.

As the captain, he is a mage and also comes from a large family in Hogan City.

He understood that the shining light and violent vibrations were not celestial phenomena, but the stirring of magic power. It was the brilliance from another world after the boundary between the two planes disappeared.

That is the rebirth of the earth veins!

It was a natural disaster, a natural disaster that was powerful enough to overturn Hogan City!

"Highest. Highest level alarm!" The sentries on the post were in disbelief, but they subconsciously obeyed the order at the first moment and hurriedly sounded the alarm, not daring to waste time.

They immediately rang the magic bell hanging on the city wall.

Along with the vibration of magical energy, the deep and long bell sound instantly penetrated the night sky, like a life-threatening drumbeat, awakening the sleeping city.

The sound of the bells continued, as if they would never stop.

This is the highest level of alarm and will last for a quarter of an hour.

As the alarm sounded, lights began to light up one by one in Hogan City.

Deep in the forest.

Two completely different planes quietly intersect in a subtle rhythm.

Their edges cracked with a slight collision.

This crack is what people call the "earth vein".

The essence of the earth veins is a strange channel connecting the two worlds.

The earth veins were newly born, beating slightly like the pulse of the ancient earth, stirring up waves of heart-pounding magical power.

Along with the fluctuation of this magical power, the scenery around the earth veins seemed to begin to distort.

Reality and illusion intertwine.

The concentration of magic power in the air was increasing at an unimaginable speed.

With the last roar, the continuous shaking like an earthquake finally stopped.

But the cessation of vibration is not the end of everything, but the beginning of everything.

Countless strange creatures poured out from the gaps.

They have a common name.

"Earth vein creatures".

These leyline creatures have various shapes.

Some have wings like birds, but bodies like tigers and wolves;

Some are covered in thick carapaces and are as huge as moving mountains;
There is also a three-armed monster like a goblin
After these strange creatures emerged from the earth veins, some of them scattered in all directions and no one knew where they hid.

More of them rushed into the darkness, heading towards Hogan City.

"Dog demons! So many dog ​​demons!" A sentry said in a trembling voice on the city wall of Hogan City.

Only a few minutes had passed since the highest level of alarm was sounded.

One after another, dark shadows emerged from the forest.

The shadows grew in number, and got closer and closer to Hogan City, until they could be seen by the sentinels with the naked eye.

It was a wolf-like monster with blue thorns and long sharp claws, with a disgusting flashing gaze emitting from the shadows.

Dog Demon is one of the most powerful species of 0-ring earth vein creatures.

They use claws and bite attacks, and can evolve into 1st-level greater barghests by feeding on humanoids.

This is an extremely difficult earth creature.

Because the dog demons love killing, have extremely strong combat power, and prefer ambushes and raids, even a mage, if not careful, may be killed on the spot if targeted by the dog demons, and will not be able to react at all.

However, the dog demon's teeth, claws, and blood are all extremely high-quality alchemical and potion materials. It is an extremely valuable earth creature.

And now, the dog demons, which don’t like head-on battles, suddenly appeared in everyone’s sight in groups.

Just visible to the naked eye, there are already two or three hundred of them, and their number is still increasing.

The sentries who witnessed this scene all felt their scalps tingling.

At this moment, they finally understood why the captain asked them to sound the highest level alarm that had never been activated since the founding of Hogan City!
For these sentinels, and not just the sentinels, but for all the people of Hogan City, this night will be the most unforgettable night of their lives.

Although many people may not be able to survive this night.
