The Priestess of Rodona 57 Chapter 57

The ogre and the beast army were mercilessly slaughtering every human they could find from their path.

"Blow the retreat signal once again and set roadblocks to stop the enemy from moving into the city before most of the citizens are evacuated also from these blocks," Albert said while retreating to safety.

One of his bodyguards took the horn and did blow the retreat signal once again.But this time a massive horn answered to the signal with the retreat signal also.

"Good now they have heard it in the castle also and now most of the citizens should have heard it also," Albert commented on the signal that was now heard in the whole city by the two massive horns. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

As someone once asked from Albert.

"You have magical tools for communicating with others so why don't you use it as the retreating command?"

Albert just simply answered.

"Yes the military commanders have them and the ones who are on the tower with the horns have them but the ordinary citizen doesn't have them.So how would I send the message to them as we cannot just give everyone a magical tool?"

So that is the reason why there are still other ways to communicate in the world as the magical tools were just so expensive and hard to make.

"Give me the latest status report," Albert said and waited while one of his guards did send the message with the magical tool.

"The citizens are already evacuating from the b block to a and c blocks.

The paladins are holding most of the enemy forces that were on the walls still and helping the soldiers and citizens evacuate from the right side towards the a block.

The left side towards the c block is just massive chaos and lots of civilian casualties there as the enemy's main force has just reached the city and most of the defenders from that site were blown away so not that many have yet to made it back safely from there.

Most of the mages and healers have made it to the a and c blocks walls and are waiting in there.The church's main army with rest of our troops are waiting also there and that is all sir!" The guard reported thoroughly.

"Order them to focus more troops to the c blocks walls for now and prepare for immediately to combat," Albert said and was almost in safety for now.

^In Felice's house^

"What the hell was that explosion?" Jaana asked after the situation had calmed down in the house.

Then they heard the horns sound to the house."What does that sound mean Felice?" Jaana asked while Felice had a very confused and disbelieving look on her face.

"Th… tha… that means we lost the outer wall and have to retreat to the inner walls." Felice finally had enough strength to muster the words out while she started to cry as her husband's fate was now unknown.

"Believe in your husband maybe he is already waiting for you in the inner walls. So get up as crying doesn't help for now we have to go now and remember you still have Rolfe or are you giving up and leaving him without a mother?"Jaana scolded Felice and made her stand up and wiped out her tears out from her face.

"Ye… yes you are alright he is waiting for me and I still have Rolfe what I'm going to say to my husband if I would give up and then he would be alone with Rolfe." Felice said and found new strength from inside of her.

"Rolfe where you are we need to leave now!" Felice shouted and when finally Rolfe came down she took his hand immediately and looked around and saying goodbye to her house for now.

"Felice, Rolfe, and Elvire no matter what you will see or hear you have to just close your eyes and ears and not stop the running at all! Am I clear?" Jaana said and waited while everyone had said or nodded before she took the lead at the running.

As she had used to see burning villages, corpses and what else while she was adventuring but the rest of them weren't used to it and one small mistake could take out their lives for now.

"Felice shout me the directions for now as only you know how we will get out to the inner city," Jaana shouted and Felice started to give put the directions for her but it still looked calm like nothing at all happened to the city and everything was alright.

But they didn't know that they were really unlucky and did run straight to an ambush that the ogres had set out for potential humans.

As the fastest ones from the ogres had already scouted most of the city and have set up small ambushes to stop the retreating and sabotaging the army movements if there would be any movements from them.

So suddenly Jaana and her party were surrounded by five ogre's that we're looking at them like they would be easy prey to them.
