Chapter 742 Current Problems of the Continent's Cities

??Upon hearing Vicente, the three Sky Sovereigns stared at him in silence, while the monstrous creature's body showed no signs of life.",

For a moment, they thought it was a dream. How long had it been since they had seen a Paragon in these lands? Vicente, appearing so suddenly, seemed like a delusion to the weary minds of these warriors.

But after 10 seconds in silence and the arrival of Vicente's companions near him, the three realized this mysterious expert had saved them.

"Senior, thank you for saving our lives!"

The three exclaimed, snapping back to reality as their hearts slowed down.

One of them introduced himself, making a formal gesture. "My name is Tyler Black. I'm a member of Dresbert Magicians' Society. Please accompany us to our humble headquarters."

The other two also introduced themselves, with Vicente's group doing the same as they walked out of that area.

The three men were frightened and tired, but not injured. They were in full condition to return to the city, so the group didn't need to wait for any of the three to recover.

Meanwhile, Sarah asked. "How is the situation in the kingdom? We've come from a hunt in the north of the continent. We're in the dark about the local situation."

"So that's it..." One of the three understood the origin of these clearly powerful people. "Well, the situation is terrible, realistically.

The Purification has brought the worst to our community. Until six months ago, we were holding out as best we could, relatively solid in the fight against the monsters.

But the vampires' plans not only put us at risk in battles like the one that Senior Fuller saved us. By losing land, we lose agricultural areas, grazing areas, etc. The result is simple. Our harvests fell sharply in numbers and famine quickly set in.

Those with low magical power were the first to succumb, even when we didn't yet have to deal with monsters so close to our homes.

But with the loss of important elements in our cities, the monsters advanced, bringing the deaths of the strongest, forcing us to hide."

One of the three men, a middle-aged, blond fellow, added to his teammate's account. "The Kingdom of Eternal Dawn had 300 cities and 500 villages before The Purification. The royal family fell three months ago, along with the demise of 198 cities and 476 villages. Currently, the entire north of the state is under the sway of monsters, while we can consider only the south minimally safe.

But even the south is under threat. If we fall back on this central position of our state, the cities to the south will soon be in the same situation as Dresbert."

The people in Vicente's group felt those men's words, their hearts thumping harder in their chests as they inspected the reality of the survivors.

They knew the drastic situation the continent was in. But until now, they hadn't approached a city in the conditions presented by Dresbert.

"What are your plans? Do you have any way of trying to at least counterattack?" Casey asked the blond man, who seemed to be the leader of the other two Vicente had saved.

That man shook his head negatively, lamenting his reality. "For the last two months, we've just been surviving. We initially tried to protect the land around the city, where we had large plantations. Dresbert was a big agricultural city. That's why it held out, even while 198 cities fell.

But with no Paragon leading us and the fall of our comrades to the enemy, our city lost much of its agricultural area under our rule. Now we control a small area that goes up to 4 kilometers outside the city. Also, everything is overrun by monsters and we're currently fighting just to hold on to what little we have."

"Sigh! But we could lose this little land at any moment," said a bald, dirty and rather sweaty man, somewhat pessimistic, even in the presence of this group.

"What is this Dresbert Magicians' Society?" Layla asked, not knowing of any force with such a name.

"The forces of Dresbert or those groups that fled from other cities and villages that fell and came here formed what we currently call the Dresbert Magicians' Society.

Unfortunately, the royal family and the state army fell. So the kingdom's cities are basically autonomous these days, led by groups like our society."

"That's terrible." Lina sighed, aware that without a centralizing government, communication and joint action in this territory would become much more difficult to achieve.

Vicente agreed and asked. "Do you have any way of contacting other cities like yours? I don't want to scare you, but even with our help, you won't be able to resist the monsters if you're alone. You need to be associated with at least half a dozen cities in this central area of the kingdom."

"We know." The blond man said in a terrible tone. "We have contacts with two other cities nearby, but that's all. If we wanted more than that, we'd have to make some trips and agreements. But as things stand, we don't have any group capable of doing that."

"I see," Vicente muttered, more or less understanding Dresbert's reality before they reached the area still under human control.

The moment they arrived there, the guards around the fences and observation points of the Dresbert plantation area looked at Vicente with veneration.

Paragons were common in this state until just over a year and a half ago. But no one as strong as Vicente had appeared in these lands for months!

Under the hopeful and respectful gaze of the many warriors of the Dresbert Magicians' Society, Vicente and his group entered the city of just over 300,000 inhabitants in front of them.

This place wasn't exactly beautiful or organized. Having received over 100,000 inhabitants in recent months without having organized itself and having lost many people who played basic roles in maintaining the city, the place looked like a large military camp, not so organized and beautiful, but quite functional.

When Vicente's group arrived in the city center 15 minutes later, the local leaders were already waiting for them at the headquarters of the society!
