Chapter 1581??(ˊωˋ*)? Target: City Hall

The dark clouds in the sky were still low, but Emilia and Anne, and the twin sisters Ram and Rem were hurrying to the city hall.

At this moment, the entire Watergate City was in chaos!

Regardless of whether it is in the waterways where the waterways meet, or in the various streets on land, countless citizens are huddling together in a panic, wanting to drive water dragon carts or ground dragon carts to escape, want to go home or find a place as soon as possible To hide, or just want to take the opportunity to escape from the city?

The Witch Sect is terrifying, and there is no one in the entire Lugnica Kingdom who does not know it!

But now, those who use all means to achieve their goals often take the lives of innocent people and cause a large number of casualties every time they appear in a place. They are considered to be the most malicious organization, the Witch Cult, and they have come here.

Therefore, in order to survive, for the safety of themselves and their families and property, they had to run!

"this……"

"It's too bad!"

Seeing that the originally peaceful, prosperous and beautiful watergate city of Priestella has turned into this chaotic state, it would be impossible for Emilia not to feel distressed or sad!

However, no matter how sad and sad she is, she has no ability to stop or comfort those chaotic people.

Even if she wanted to, she knew that it would definitely be useless, because she had no influence at all in this city, and the citizens didn't know her, and even, there might be even greater controversy because of her appearance. fear?

You know, the silver-haired half-elf, that is the appearance of the legendary envious witch Satila, especially in this city where the Witch Cult made a surprise attack and announced in a high-profile way that it would occupy the city hall and attack the four water gate towers and certain urban areas. Sometimes, if she ran into the crowd and yelled for people to calm down, I'm afraid that apart from causing even greater panic in turn, she really couldn't think of any better results.

So now, besides taking the two sisters of Ramrem and a little guy who still looked reluctant, she hurried to the direction of the city hall, and tried to regain that important central place, and then released the city radio to appease the citizens and maintain order Besides, there really isn't much she can do.

'Run! '

"The villains from the Witch Cult are killing people again..."

'quick! '

'Run! ! ! '

'This way...'

‘Help, help! ! '

'Go away! ! '

At this time,

A group of people suddenly rushed out of the street in front, and then, someone almost knocked Emilia to the ground?

After bumping into Emilia, the man not only kept apologizing, but turned around and cursed fiercely while running, and then followed his companions, supporting each other in a panic, moving forward and away. Fleeing away in embarrassment in the direction of the city hall.

"not good!"

"The situation seems to be getting worse..."

Just now, when Emilia, Crusch, Felt, Priscilla, Anastasia and the others were discussing countermeasures and actively preparing to arrange missions at the Mizu no Hagorotei inn, Mimi Palbaton and others People suddenly broke in and reported the large-scale emergence of the Witch Cult.

Then……

Before they came back to their senses, a city-wide broadcast was suddenly broadcast from the direction of the city hall.

There is a guy who claims to be the royal family of Lugnica, and the other party claims to be the archbishop of the Witch Cult—Capella Emerada Lugnica, the bishop of lust. Claiming that the Witch Cult has already occupied Watergate City?

Therefore, Emilia and the others no longer cared about continuing to discuss countermeasures, and acted separately according to the immature plan that had been agreed, and went towards the major urban areas and the Water Gate Tower, intending to defend the important ones first. , the tall tower that can control the flow of water, and then talk about other things.

And Emilia naturally received the task of recovering the city hall and appeasing the people, which is why she hurried towards the direction of the city hall with Ram, Rem, and Anne.

Although she didn't know the current situation of the city hall and the strength of the enemy, Emilia had no choice. She had to do it out of duty or sympathy!

Of course, Frandelika was not brought by her, but left the other party in the Water Feather Pavilion Inn to guard the salute, the dragon carriage, and their one, which has not yet been discovered and attacked by the Witch Cult. 'Coalition' base camp.

"That's right!"

"It should be in this direction..."

"It should be there in ten minutes, let's go, we must hurry up!"

Looking at the street map in her hand, and then at the nearby landmarks, Emilia quickly figured out the situation, and didn't intend to waste time asking the panicked crowd who hurried past from time to time. Two maids and a reluctant little girl moved quickly in the direction of the city hall.

"Lord Emilia?"

"??"

"What's wrong, Rem?"

"Is such that……"

"That, the person who just broadcast and announced the occupation of the city at the city hall, is really the royal family of the Lugnica royal family?"

"..."

"Feel sorry!"

"I don't know..."

Hearing Rem's sudden question, knowing what Rem was worried about, Emilia, who was trying to identify the direction and drive forward, couldn't help but sink her face, and began to roughly explain to the two twin sisters:

"However, according to what Crusch said earlier in the Water Feather Pavilion, the name 'Emerada Lugnica' must have been the one from the Kingdom of Lugnica fifty years ago. There is no doubt about the name of the princess."

"However, the other party should have died of illness at a young age..."

"and……"

"It is said that the princess from fifty years ago had an extremely tyrannical and cruel personality. She held an incalculable darkness to outsiders, and she was very scary?"

"Because of that, fifty years ago, she was always regarded as a heretic in the Lugnica royal family. After her death, the kingdom not only did not lament her death, but even carried out the law that should have been carried out. The state funeral was omitted, and there was no hype about that event."

"It means that the citizens don't expect nor recognize such a princess emotionally?"

"As for why the words 'Emeralda Lugnica' appear in the name of the Archbishop of Lust and Sin, the reason is still unknown."

"However, before setting off, Crusch and Wilhelm speculated that: that Capella might have something to do with the Lugnica royal family's blood, after all, when the princess announced her death back then, she could No one has ever seen her body..."

"so!"

"This is indeed a very troublesome thing..."

As she spoke, Emilia herself couldn't help but smiled wryly.

Thinking about it carefully, the five candidates for the throne, Emilia, Crusch, Priscilla, Anastasia, and Felt, have come to Priestella, the watergate city. ...

But let them meet a princess who claims to be the only surviving royal blood in the kingdom, and was declared dead or missing fifty years ago, which is indeed embarrassing and troublesome enough for them.

"Trouble?"

"Um……"

"It's really a bit troublesome..."

Although their identity is only a maid, the two sisters Ram and Rem can also understand the embarrassing situation of Emilia and other candidates for the throne at this time.

"Then, Lady Emilia!"

"Later, after meeting that Capella? Emerada? Lugnica, what shall we do?"

Therefore, after the two sisters looked at each other, they asked Emilia hesitantly, wanting to ask each other's opinion first.

"What else can I do?"

"The most important thing now is to take back the city hall first. You can't let the Witch Cult continue to cause panic and massacres in the city, right?"

"As for that Capella Emeralda Lugnica..."

Although that Capela Emeralda Lugnica already claimed to be a member of the Witch Cult, and was also a lust bishop, one of the great sin bishops of the Witch Cult, and even attacked the city hall and probably killed Officials and guards, but Emilia still feels that when confronting the opponent, she must not directly kill the opponent, otherwise, things will only become more troublesome?

Of course, you can't let the other party go easily!

Although Crusch and the others have already set off for their respective mission goals, Emilia knows that they must also be paying close attention to every move of the city hall, so she is trying to win back the city hall. At the same time, they must also give them a satisfactory answer.

"Let's see what happens later!"

"In short!"

"Our primary goal is to take back the city hall and stabilize order. As for the rest, we can only make ad hoc decisions."

Shaking her head and smiling wryly, Emilia is not good at making judgments when she is not sure about Capella Emeralda Lugnica's true strength and specific circumstances, and she dare not arbitrarily decide at this time Say the idea of ​​​​going to capture the other party alive.

"Um!"

Nodding his head, seeing Emilia's uncertain statement, Rem couldn't say much, so he could only continue walking quickly behind.

"Hello!"

('ε')|

"How far is it?"

(?????)

"I'm a little tired..."

(??.??)

"Also, it's almost lunch time!"

?(????)?

Undoubtedly, this is what Annie cares about the most!

Although Annie usually doesn't eat lunch on time, since she got up early today, she must also want to be able to do certain things at a certain time, such as eating a delicious meal ?

"this……"

"According to the markings on the street map, we may have to take a detour..."

Emilia, who continued to lead the way ahead and trot, glanced down at the map in her hand, and said helplessly.

Originally, they could take the water dragon boat to the city hall, it would be faster!

However, there were only four water dragon boats on standby at the inn at that time, and Crusch and Felut needed the first time to support the four water gates that were being attacked by the followers of the Witch Cult. That was the most important thing The affairs are related to the life and death of tens of thousands of residents in the entire city, so Emilia took the initiative to give up all the boats for them at that time, and decided to walk to the city hall instead.

But now, she suddenly regretted it.

To be honest, even she didn't expect that the city hall, which would be extremely quick and easy to walk by water, would become so detoured after going by land, even when there was a map, it made her feel a little bit too much?

No wonder...

No wonder the day before yesterday when Frandelica drove the dragon cart to the inn, she arrived exhausted until dusk and joined them. So that was the case?

"Do you still want to go around?"

ヽ(′～｀;)??

Anne felt a little unable to walk.

If there are delicious and interesting things in the city hall, then it goes without saying, she must be more active than anyone else, and she can even fly over directly with a teleportation 'swish'.

However, there is nothing interesting in the city hall now, only a group of boring Witch Cultists entrenched there, and not only there is no delicious and interesting food, but there will only be a lot of disgusting dead bodies and so on. Therefore, she It's really a lack of interest, and I'm not happy to go to that boring place when I haven't had lunch yet.

"It's coming soon!"

"Well……"

"It should be faster from here?"

Emilia, who was leading the way, stopped suddenly. After looking at the map, she turned around and took the lead to turn into a smaller and more remote alley with few pedestrians.

"correct!"

"Annie, why did you tell us about the Witch Cult today?"

After running forward for a while, Emilia suddenly turned around and asked with some complaints.

Right now, under the surprise attack of the Witch Cult, the city is in chaos. Not to mention the city hall fell into the enemy's hands in an instant, even the four water gates are being attacked by the enemy and may fall at any time, so Emilia couldn't help feeling a little annoyed , I feel that a bad little girl yesterday should tell them about that matter immediately, so maybe they will have enough time to react and prepare?

If there is one more night and one more morning, the current situation must be different, right?

"Because you didn't even ask!"

(￢д￢.)

"It's just a boring bandage weirdo, and it's not an important thing. Why do people say it?"

(ˉ▽￣～)cut~~

Annie curled her lips in disdain.

In her opinion, the bandage monster is really not a big deal. Anyway, the other party was just secretly tricked by her and hurt. Maybe he is hiding somewhere crying and licking his wound. Well, that kind of thing that tricks others, she just needs to have fun secretly, how can she take the initiative to spread it to others?

(…)

(●￣?￣●)

"ah?!"

Hearing that Annie said that the matter of the Witch Cult was not a big deal, Emilia was startled and a little overwhelmed, and she staggered as she ran forward, and almost fell into the rolling road beside the path in the small ditch.

However, in the end, she still didn't choose to stop talking to Annie, because now is not the time to talk about that kind of thing, and she also knows that no matter whether it is wrong or reasonable, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, she must be lying But that poor little girl.

"..."

"..."

The two twin maids, Ram and Rem, looked at each other quietly, and finally exchanged a look indifferently, and then continued to run forward without expressing any views or opinions.

They didn't think there was anything wrong with their Master Anne!

Anyway, they only know that as long as Master Anne says and does things, then everything is right, and it is also right if it is wrong!

"It's almost here!"

"If we follow the map completely, we may need to take a long detour and pass two or three bridges, but now that the matter is urgent, let's take a shortcut and jump over the not too wide water fork in front!"

"It's marked on the waterway, and the width is about fifty steps..."

"Ram! Rem!"

"You should be fine, right?"

At this time, Emilia, who was leading the way, had already heard the sound of the rushing water, the water dragons in the waterway, and the roaring and shouting of the boatmen.

It can be seen from this that she did not lead the wrong way, as long as they jumped over from the front, they could save at least half of the distance.

"no problem!"

"Rem and I can just jump over there!"

"!?"

Just as he was talking, two masked men who were all hidden in dark red burqas suddenly jumped out of the windows of the buildings on both sides of the street, and as soon as they stretched out their hands, they used several flying swords to attack Ram, Rem, and the one who was running at the front. Emilia launched a surprise attack.

"It's the enemy!"

"Parker!!"

Seeing this, Emilia didn't waste time, nor did she waste her magic power. Instead, she took advantage of the daytime and called her elf helper.

"Do not worry!"

"Emilia, with me here, there will be no problem!"

clang! clang!

In an instant, all those flying swords were blocked by the magic of Parker the Great Elf and bounced away.

At the same time, Parker's ice crystal magic began to fight back.

Whoosh~! Whoosh~! Whoosh~!

Almost in an instant, they rushed out of the broken window of the house, the two Witch Cult villains with conspicuous blood on their bodies and before they landed in time rushed away, directly pierced them and nailed them all. on the wall.

"quick!"

"accelerate!"

"Let's jump over here!"

Continuing to move closer to the waterway, Emilia can already see the chaotic scene of the ships in the waterway that are manipulating the water dragon in panic and huddled together.

However, she didn't have the heart to take care of that much, taking advantage of the opportunity when no more enemies appeared, she directly engulfed her slender body with wind attribute magic, making her and Parker on her shoulders direct like a dexterous swallow. Leap across the river.

"elder sister!"

"Um!"

The distance of only fifty steps is not a big problem for the ghost twin sisters Ram and Rem.

Therefore, they didn't even use magic, and directly relied on the strength of their bodies to jump over easily.

Fortunately, at this time, the boatmen in the river were only focused on fighting with each other and driving the same flustered water dragons, and no one had time to pay attention to the sky. If it wasn't hot, they would definitely be able to see several beautiful landscapes. ?

"We continue to go here..."

"??"

"etc!!"

Seeing that both Ram and Rem landed steadily, Emilia was about to continue leading the way, regardless of the mess around the city hall block and the many corpses lying on the road. Suddenly found:

A certain little girl who was still following them closely despite being reluctant all the time suddenly disappeared? !

"its not right!"

"Rem, Ram! Where's Annie?!"

Looking around and across the waterway, Emilia, who didn't find the small figure, finally couldn't help but exclaimed.

She didn't look at the river, after all, they all knew that Anne was a powerful arcane mage, and it was absolutely impossible for the other party to fall into the water.

"Eh?"

"It's really gone!"

"Ha ha!"

"Emilia, you might not believe it when you tell me, it seems that even I don't know when she disappeared..."

Parker, who was standing on Emilia's shoulder, looked around and couldn't help scratching his head.

It can be said to be the most leisurely one, and it only needs to stand on Emilia's shoulders when on the road, but now, there is a big living person missing in the team out of thin air, and even it can't be found in time. It was indeed a little scary.

"..."

"..."

"elder sister!"

"You and Lord Emilia go to the city hall first, I'll go back and look for it now!"

"Whether I can find the owner or not, I will go to the city hall to meet you in half an hour. You must pay attention to safety!"

After saying that, Rem hesitated for a moment, then turned around and jumped back to the other side of the waterway, and accelerated to the alley where they had just passed and encountered the attack.

Soon, the sound of fighting came from the other side of the waterway. Obviously, it was Rem and the members of the Witch Cult fighting again.

"Time is urgent!"

"Lord Emilia, shall we go first?"

Seeing his sister leave, Ram didn't say anything to stop her, but instead began to urge Emilia.

However, while speaking, she quietly reached into the backpack behind herself. After touching a hard, smooth and cold object, her frowning brows relaxed slightly, and there was a lot of pain in her heart. So a little confidence.

"hateful!"

"All right……"

"That's the only way to go first!"

After struggling for a while and thinking about it, although I was very worried, anxious and unhappy, in the end, Emilia still couldn't think of a better way, so she had to bite the bullet and gritted her teeth, turned around and followed Ram, Rush towards the direction of the city hall.

It's all right now, and it's almost time to reach the destination, but the most important power they thought they relied on disappeared inexplicably. She was left with Ram and Parker, and she wondered if they could solve the big trouble in the city hall?

Thinking about it, Emilia, who was full of confidence just now, suddenly became anxious.

However, no matter how anxious she was, there was nothing she could do. Now that things had happened, she could continue to move forward with Ram, go to the city hall that had appeared in sight and was said to be occupied by the enemy, and try to take it back. Besides hoping that Rem can find some bad and unreliable little guy soon, what else can she do?
