Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 457 The Fall of Baili City
"This is the Marquis of Wren Frode! This is my father-in-law!!?"

Even if you beat Stannis to death now, you wouldn't believe that the beggar-like old man in front of you was the famous guardian of the east, the overlord of dozens of families.

But Lina nodded sadly, indicating that Stannis was not mistaken, this is the Marquis Frode.

Still in disbelief, Stannis circled around this old man who looked like he was suffering from Parkinson's and was paralyzed on the ground. Except for that face, there was nothing to connect him with the hero who was still in high spirits half a year ago. place together.

"Then...then why did it become like this?"

Stannis was completely confused. Even if he was attacked by the Kuroshio, as the guardian and marquis of the East, he would not be so downcast. Not only did he become like this, but he was only left with A servant, where are all his troops?

Tears welled up in Lina's eyes again, and she said with a desperate cry: "Your Majesty, don't you know?"

"Know what?" Stannis looked confused.

"No, everything in the Frode family is gone! Baili City has been completely destroyed, and everyone has not been killed! Your Excellency and I are the only ones who can escape!" Lina roared like she was insane , Her eyes were full of fear, and Stannis could feel the impact on Lina's perception when the disaster broke out.

He held the woman who was going crazy into his arms and kept comforting him, "It's okay, everything will be fine with me."

Under the double influence of his gentle voice and firm chest, Lina, who was frightened like a rabbit, finally calmed down a little. She wiped away her tears, and intermittently told everything that happened in Baili City three days ago.

On the night when the disaster broke out, Lina clearly remembered that there was nothing unusual before that night, because it was the Midsummer Festival every year, so the civilians in the surrounding villages and towns gathered in the city early to prepare for the celebration.Since it was an eventful season and there were so many people crowded in the city, Marquis Frode deliberately transferred the surrounding troops back to maintain order.But what happened next caught everyone off guard. First, a sudden super earthquake tore apart the entire city, countless people were buried alive in the ruins, and then something even more terrifying happened. From those gaping rifts, black armies gushed like pus from wounds, and slew every living creature they encountered.Because of the earthquake, the shattered army in the city couldn't organize an effective resistance at all, and could only wait for the slaughter. Baili City instantly turned into a hell on earth, and the blood of the slaughtered did not even exceed human knees.

When the disaster broke out suddenly, the Frode family, who were preparing for the celebration in the mansion, immediately became the center of this vortex of disaster. After guarding for an extra hour, as the interior of the mansion also cracked and a black tide emerged from the inside, the fortress of the mansion was immediately destroyed, and the people here were also slaughtered like the outside, whether it was guests, servants or soldiers. The possessed monster kills everyone.And a small group of loyal soldiers gathered to protect Frode and the remaining survivors and rushed out of the city, but in the end only the Marquis and Lina escaped, but they also fell into the current penniless situation.

After listening to Lina explain the ins and outs of everything clearly, Stannis only has one biggest doubt now, "Annie, where is my little Annie!"

Indeed, if Floyd and Lina were the only ones who escaped from Baili City, it meant that his fiancée, Annist, did not escape from that slaughterhouse!
Sure enough, after hearing the name, Lina couldn't hide her inner emotions and burst into tears again.

"I'm sorry, I didn't protect Miss Annie well. We were scattered when we escaped. When someone saw her, only Damilian would protect her again!"

Stannis quickly gave her a hug to comfort her. It really wasn't Lina's fault. In that case, even if she wanted to sacrifice for others, she couldn't do it. It's just that Annie still stayed in Baili City. Death is already the most merciful thing for her. In the end, the horrific torture and humiliation that Zoe of the Yigo family suffered before she died is very likely to befall her fiancée as well!
The distraught Stannis must not allow this kind of tragedy to happen again. Even though Annie once wanted to kill him secretly, he felt that there must be some misunderstanding. In short, he must save her!
But the most important thing now is to settle down Marquis Frode, he said to Lina with a pleasant face, "Since I'm here, you don't have to worry about Anne's safety, I promise you that I will definitely save her back, now The most important thing is to settle down the Marquis first, I will take you out of here, the most important thing for the Marquis after going through so many things is to find a place to recuperate."

Lina wiped away the tears on her face. She knew that it was useless to worry now. She helped Stannis lift up the old man who had lost everything. Becoming gorgeous and haggard at the same time, Stannis held him in his arms and felt that he was not much heavier than a skeleton.

And Frode seemed to close his heart, and he didn't respond to everything that happened outside. He just kept repeating a sentence, "Daughter, daughter, give me back my daughter..."

When Stannis walked out of the abandoned house with the old man in his arms, Robert, who had been left behind, finally came leading the horse. He saw that what Stannis was holding in his hands was actually the Marquis Frode of the Megatron East He was obviously shocked and speechless at this point, but he didn't ask any more questions, just silently took the old man and placed him on the horse, and Stannis also helped Lina to the horse and took him away. When I went to the square, I found that the place had become orderly. Under the maintenance of the former hooligans, the refugees were obediently obeying the order and fetching water. Stannis was very satisfied, so he didn't have to allocate troops to manage the place. .

Soon, after leaving the crowded refugee town, Stannis got on his horse and led everyone back to the pass. At this time, a large army had already gathered here. The troops originally used to attack King Garcia's city had arrived, but now everyone was in panic. Don't even know what happened.

Stannis didn't explain too much when he returned here, and quickly asked Xiaona to take the maid to settle down the Marquis, while he didn't even take a break and directly called all the named lords to hold a meeting. Now not only to prevent this disaster, he And absolutely can't lose Annie again!
