"If God needs these apostles to complete the mission of destroying the royal capital, we should let them destroy it, right? Otherwise, we will go against God's will. When God really comes, how should we deal with ourselves?" Julian asked back.
"But this stone statue has just killed several of your companions, and is now continuing to attack the Royal Mage Tower. And your attack just now was effective, and you have clearly broken its arm..." Although Laura herself has been in a state of helplessness, it is because she does not know how to save the situation. She has never had the same idea as Julian: to abandon the capital.
"Do you want to go against God's will?" Julian's tone became serious and he looked at Queen Laura with a bad look.
"I... no." Laura lowered her head under the other person's gaze.
"Some people died because they failed the test of God. Just like the apostle's punch on the tower just now, I dodged it, but they didn't dodge it because they were too weak. I can only express my regret for them. But if you are not strong in some way, how can you be qualified to serve the gods?" Julian pointed at the people who were fleeing in the city and said, "These people are weak and we can't help them. I originally thought this was some kind of disaster that happened in the capital, but since it includes the cleansing of the entire continent, they must have nowhere to go."
Laura saw the tall tree people leaning their bodies against the city wall below, using their arms to knock down bricks and stones. The demonic beasts could use the tree people's bodies as ladders to climb up the city wall and fight with the soldiers guarding the city wall. Until now, the city's defense shield has not been activated. Laura knows that it is too late to defend the city under the continuous attacks of the demonic beasts.
Julian said, "The capital can't even defend today. If similar situations happen to other cities, the result will only be worse. However, the destruction of the city is not the most important thing. The most fatal thing is that the farms and fields outside the city cannot be defended. The first condition for feeding these people is to have food to eat. Now the farms and orchards have been destroyed by the apostles summoned by the gods. Even if we save many people, we can't feed them."
"So what should we do?" Laura asked.
"You should go to the palace now. There should be a large amount of food and supplies in the palace's warehouse. You need to mobilize a team of strong men and try to take away various resources. We can find overseas islands with relatively less threats to stay temporarily, and then come back to manage the country after this purge is over." Julian said.
"What about the others?"
"Who else?"
"Those nobles, merchants, commoners..."
"You can't care so much. Under such divine punishment, they are all sinners and don't deserve your sympathy." Julian said calmly, "In fact, we don't need sympathy, but who will sympathize with us?"
"But what sins have they committed that warrant such punishment from God?"
Julian laughed and said, "That's for God to judge, what can we say
You have always been a decisive person. Although you are young, you never hesitate to act. At this critical moment, please do not lose your strengths. "
"So what are you going to do now?"
"Since God wants to demolish the Royal Mage Tower, then let it be destroyed. I will ask the surviving mages to pack up their belongings and find places to take refuge separately."
Julian took out a ring and placed it in Queen Laura's hand. "You can use this ring to contact me when you are ready. I will come and take you and the people you choose. Now that the city of God is destroyed, we are on our own."
Laura saw Julian flying towards the Royal Mage Tower again. He used the sound amplification magic to speak loudly to the mages, but Laura could not hear a word at this time.
Although she has always been eager for power, building a beautiful and strong country has always been her wish. She has always hoped to be stronger than her father. But now the cruel reality is in front of her, her country is about to be destroyed. And she herself will flee in panic.
She couldn't imagine that if one day she returned from a place of refuge and there were still survivors on this land, she would have the face and reason to treat them as her subjects.
Julian's shouting below took effect. Some mages followed his command and flew back to the Mage Tower and the Kingdom Magic Association which had not collapsed yet to rescue those important properties.
But there were also some mages who were unwilling to follow Julian's command. They had been stubbornly but in vain attacking the stone statue. Among them was a figure wearing a blue mage robe. This was Leia from the Ice Tower.
Her ice magic had very limited effect on the statue. Even if the statue itself and the vines were frozen, their movements were not affected much. However, she continued to use ice magic to attack the joints of the statue, as if hoping to slow it down.
Originally, there were at least a dozen mages doing the same thing as her, but after Julian's intervention, at least two-thirds of the mages left.
However, Leia did not argue with others, and cast spells on the stone statue firmly and stubbornly.
The statue approached the last undestroyed magic tower, the Ice Tower. Leia's magic release rhythm suddenly increased, and the power also increased. Queen Laura knew that she must have used some kind of secret technique, but this could not be without cost.
Leia's secret technique really worked. She created ice much faster, and the speed of the stone statue was naturally delayed. However, for the huge stone statue, this effect was ultimately limited, and its huge fist finally fell on the ice tower.
The Ice Tower did not last longer than the other magic towers. After being hit by the stone statue several times, it also collapsed. After destroying all the magic towers, the stone statue suddenly turned around and punched Leia. The vines on its arms suddenly grew and swept towards Leia like a thick whip. Leia may have exhausted her strength and her reaction was a little slow. She was hit by the whip and was knocked out.
Laura screamed when she saw Leia flying under her, and hurriedly flew towards her. A few minutes later, she found her in a pile of rubble.
The statue's attack was so powerful that Leia's shield was broken and her body was broken from the waist.
When Laura saw her, she was already on the verge of death, but the great magician's mental strength supported her and allowed her to remain conscious for a moment.
Laura held her in her arms and asked softly, “Why do you do this?”
