Chapter 130

When they saw Dikas City, they were secretly relieved, and many students even shed tears. For many people, this training was a narrow escape from death. Even Judith, Jerry and Lloyd sighed with emotion. They had organized several pieces of training, but this time it was particularly dangerous. If it weren’t for Locke, they would have fallen into the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts.

But as they got closer, they found that there was something wrong with the Dikas City. There was no one outside the city gate, and the city wall was also full of guards, which looked very depressed.

The guard opened the gate when he saw that they were from the Scilar Magic Academy.

It was Peggy Ralph, the castellan of Dikas City, who greeted them. Locke noticed that although Peggy was smiling, there was obvious sadness and fatigue on his face.

“Are there magical beasts in Dikas City?” Judith asked, looking at the bloodstains on the city wall.

“On the second day after you left, we encountered a surge of beasts,”

With a serious look on his face, Peggy sighed and continued, “Fortunately, this wave of beasts is not very strong. There are only dozens of them, and one of them is the level-4 magical beast. It was quickly repelled by us. Although the last wave of beasts was repelled by us, based on the situation of the whole Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts, I’m afraid that there will be a large-scale surge of beasts, and the situation is not optimistic.”

Hearing Peggy’s words, Judith and the other three nodded seriously. They had already been mentally prepared for the surge of beasts, so they were not very surprised.

“I have informed the city of the news. I believe that it won’t be long before the city will send people to support us,”

Hearing this, Judith and the others looked better.

Except for Locke, whose face remained unchanged all the time. He looked into the distance. In the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts, it was not as sunny as it used to be. The grey clouds were very low, and lightning flashed in the clouds. They turned into a large flood dragon, majestic, but at the same time revealing a murderous intent from the sky.

In that direction, a large number of magical beasts were gathering.

Howl!

At the same time, roars came from the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts in the distance.

Hearing the roar, everyone’s expression changed. Without hesitation, they closed the city gate and walked into the city.

After entering the city, Locke found that there were one-third fewer people in the city than before, but there were still many vendors on the street.

“In this city, in addition to the people who left, there should be two hundred thousand people now.” Looking at the peddlers in the distance, castellan Peggy explained to Locke and the others.

Some of them were blocked in the city before they could retreat. Some of them had already regarded Dikas City as their own home and were unwilling to leave. At the same time, there was a glimmer of hope in their hearts that the surge of beasts would soon pass.

Under the arrangement of castellan Peggy, everyone rested in the Dikas city.

In the evening, Locke took a comfortable bath and was about to continue with the practice of the small universe. At this time, he found that Judith was standing outside the door.

Locke put on his clothes and opened the door.

Looking at Locke, Judith’s eyes softened. She said softly, “Peggy invited us to a meeting to discuss how to deal with the surge of beasts.”

“Okay.” Locke nodded. He wouldn’t have attended such a boring meeting if it was usual. Although he was confident that he could protect himself, he still had students under his command. Under the huge surge of beasts, he could not guarantee the safety of every student.

Led by a guard, the two walked towards the meeting hall.

On their way to the meeting hall, Locke and Judith happened to meet Jerry and Lloyd.

“Hi, Locke.”

Lloyd waved his hand and greeted.

Jerry also smiled at Locke and greeted, “Locke.”

Since Jerry knew the strength of Locke, he had already stopped looking down upon Locke.

Locke nodded with a smile and greeted the two.

They followed the guard and walked towards the meeting hall.

“I tried to use the teleportation rune in the city just now.”

Judith suddenly said, “I think I still know the reason why the castellan asked us to go there.”

Jerry and Lloyd nodded. The reason why the castellan came to them at this time was to discuss how to resist magical beasts.

“Judging from the current situation, there is a surge of beasts in the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. It’s very dangerous to use the transmission rune rashly.” Lloyd said slowly after a long silence.

“I suggest that we should work together to defend the city. If…” Jerry paused, knowing that the others knew what he meant, and then continued, “Let’s use the transmission rune.”

“I agree.” Judith nodded.

Lloyd nodded in agreement.

The three looked at Locke at the same time.

Locke was slightly stunned and said with a smile, “Don’t look at me. I have no objection.”

Looking at Locke’s casual look, the three were speechless.

Led by the guard, the four arrived at the meeting hall soon.

The meeting hall was not very large, and it should be about three hundred square meters. The layout was high on all sides and low in the middle, and rows of chairs were bowed to the middle, which was very similar to the layout of the meeting room of the British Parliament that Locke had seen in his previous life.

At this time, the meeting hall was already full of people. Because the seats were not enough, there were still more than a dozen people standing. And in the middle of the seats in the front row, there were four more seats left alone.

The meeting hall was filled with noise and discussion, and many people even flushed with arguments.

When Locke and the others stepped into the meeting hall, it was quiet for a moment.

All eyes were instantly focused on Locke and the other three.

A maid came up and led the four people to the center of the meeting hall. Finally, they sat down in the front empty seat.

Locke noticed that the man sitting in the first row opposite to him was Rowell, the leader of the magic guild. Except for the four, the old man with a white beard was sitting in the first row.

With divine consciousness, Locke soon knew everyone’s cultivation base.

There were actually six level-4 mages in the first row. Locke couldn’t help but sigh. No wonder there were so many level-4 practitioners in the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. In terms of the practitioner’s strength, the scale of Dikas City must have reached that of a big city of Naton County.

Rowell nodded to Locke with a smile, and Locke nodded to him with a smile as well.

“I don’t think I need to introduce these four people to you.” Seeing Locke and the others sitting down, castellan Peggy said, “Since everyone is here, let’s start the meeting.”

Glancing at the people in the meeting hall, he became serious and said, “Today, the Dikas City we live in is facing the threat of the magical beast. We gathered here for only one purpose-to protect it!”

After saying that, he stopped and waited for others to express their opinions.

“On behalf of the magic guild, I declare that I will try my best to assist the guards against magical beasts.” Seeing that the meeting hall became quiet, Rowell announced slowly.

“The mercenary guild will try its best to assist the guards in the prevention of magical beast.”

“The Gith mercenary team will never flinch, too!”

All the forces expressed their opinions.

All their properties were in the city. If they left the city, they would have nothing. At this time, they would not shrink back.

In the end, all eyes were once again focused on Locke and the other three. The Scilar Magic Academy was the most powerful in Naton County. Judith and other tutors were undoubtedly powerful. And the students who could enter the Scilar Magic Academy were all first-class geniuses. Therefore, the Scilar Magic Academy was definitely a powerful force that could not be ignored.

“The Scilar Magic Academy will also organize students to participate in the precaution work.”

Judith said in a low voice. She also understood that at this time, only when all the forces were united could they resist the following surge of beasts. There was basically no chance of winning if they fought alone.

“But if anything unexpected happens, we won’t put students in danger.” Glancing around the meeting hall, Judith added.

The other forces felt a little relieved when they heard that the Scila Magic Academy would also participate in the defense.

Everyone present knew what Judith meant. However, they had no objection. Not to mention the Scilar Magic Academy, even if they were in a desperate situation, they might use teleportation site.

After discussion, all the forces would send their own people to the station on the city wall to help the guards resist magical beasts. At the same time, during the resistance to the surge of beasts, each force would restrain their own subordinates to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to make trouble.

The next step was to discuss the defensive positions of all the forces. Although Dikas City was not as big as that of other big cities, it was also not small, with a total area of more than 60 square kilometers. An all-round defense would be a huge and complicated project.

It was not until two hours later that the meeting was over.

Rowell walked towards Locke, patted Locke on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Would you like to have a drink with me?”

Locke nodded with a smile. After greeting Judith and the others, he left the meeting hall with Rowell.
