Chapter 470 Dead City

After learning that there was an accident in the royal city, Duanmu Huai took a few people on the Valkyrie gunboat and flew directly to the royal city. It was too slow to send people to investigate, so it was better to go and see it with their own eyes.

However, when the group arrived above the royal city, the scene in front of them really shocked them.

The whole royal city was dead silent at this moment, and there was no sign of human habitation at all. Black smoke was everywhere, and many buildings had even collapsed, looking like ruins!

"What's going on? Is it an invasion by the demons??"

Rolex asked in surprise, and Kriolev shook his head.

"The situation is not right. Look carefully. If it is an invasion by foreign enemies, then the losses should be the most serious in the periphery, but look here, here and here... It is obvious that the enemy launched an attack from the center... So what we should consider is..."

"That doesn't mean anything."

Hearing this, Kanami silently said.

"Prince Barton of Herman teamed up with the demons and suddenly appeared in the royal city of Lisas through the portal, which made it impossible for us to make an effective resistance... "

"... ... "

Kriolev had nothing to say.

Indeed, with the precedent of Lisas, you insist that it is not the demons...

"Hmm? This is interesting."

However, just as the cabin fell into awkward silence and silence, Duanmu Huai's voice suddenly sounded.

"What's wrong? Judge?"

"I used the auspicious instrument to scan the entire city and found that there were basically no life signals in the royal city."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Kanami and others were stunned.

"What does this mean?"

"In short, there are not many living people in this city."

Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

"If I want me to be more precise, there are probably only one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... a total of seventeen living people in this city."

"How is this possible!"

Hearing this, Kriolev and Rolex were stunned.

"There are hundreds of thousands of residents in the city. Where did they go?"

"Maybe they ran away, maybe...died?"

"Council...what did Stice do..."

"We don't know, but I think someone here must know."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai opened the holographic map and projected the entire royal city. Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to several small light spots here.

"These are signs of life reactions. At present, there are about twelve or thirteen signs of life in the royal city fortress. The rest are scattered everywhere, and there are several underground waterways below. They may be survivors, or someone...but it doesn't matter. As long as we find them and catch them to ask, we will know what's going on."

Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at Kanami and Suzu.

"Leave it to you, no problem."

"I know."

Kanami nodded seriously, and Suzu laughed.

Soon, the Valkyrie gunship circled and descended in the air, and then hovered over a square. Then, Suzu and Kanami slid down the rope and started to move.

"This is really... ..."

Although she had seen the dilapidated scene of the royal city from the air, Kanami was still quite shocked when she was in it and looked at the broken statues and houses.

However, compared with Kanami's shock, Suzu seemed a little confused. She looked left and right, revealing a strange expression.

"It's really strange... ..."

"Strange?"

"That's right, Kanami, didn't you notice? There is no body here."

"If you say so... Indeed..."

Hearing Suzu's reminder, Kanami trembled all over and reacted. Indeed, as Suzu said, the city has obviously been attacked very seriously at present. Logically speaking, even if this place is not a river of blood, there should be corpses everywhere. However, looking around, there is no body in the square, the street, or even the alley.

The whole city is empty as if it is a dead city that has been abandoned long ago.

"What's going on?"

Kanami swallowed her saliva and felt her hair stand up.

"No, it's not haunted!"

"Now is not the time to discuss this issue."

Just then, Duanmu Huai's voice came from her ear.

"You should act as soon as possible!"

"Okay............"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's call, Kanami nodded, then looked at Lingnu, lowered her body, and ran forward like a gust of wind.

According to the mark on the map, the life signal is located in the underground waterway. Fortunately, there are two veterans who are familiar with the Royal City, Kriolev and Rolex. Rolex was a member of the Royal City Guard and knows everything here. Under his guidance, the two quickly found the entrance to an underground waterway and got in.

In the underground waterway, it was dark.

"…………"

The man hugged his daughter tightly, holding a knife, hiding in a small hole in the sewer. The cold, smelly sewer was not a good place, but he didn't dare to make a fire, let alone go out to find food. Because the man knew that there was a group of terrible monsters outside... Although he was not sure whether they would find this place, the man did not dare to take the risk.

"Dad... I feel uncomfortable..."

The voice of the daughter in his arms was so weak that he could hardly hear it. Of course, he could feel that the petite body was already hot all over, but he had no choice.

Maybe, in the end, his end would be to die tragically here with his child?

"———————!"

Just as the man closed his eyes and waited for death in despair, suddenly, he felt his throat tighten, and a dagger stretched out from the side silently and pressed against his neck!

Who is it? !

"Don't make a sound, meow."

At the same time, a leisurely girl's voice appeared in his ears.

"You, who are you? I clearly set a trap at the door!"

"That simple trap won't fool even mice."

Kanami, who had finished dealing with the trap, came over and looked at the man in front of him.

"Is it him?"

"That's right."

"You, aren't you an accomplice of that group of monsters?"

Looking at Suzu and Kanami in front of him, the man suddenly became excited.

"We are here to save you, and we also want to know what happened in this city. Okay, come with me, your daughter doesn't look good."

Without any hesitation, the man nodded and stood up holding his daughter.

For him, perhaps this is the last chance!

Without encountering any danger, Kanami and Suzu took the man and his daughter back to the Valkyrie gunship, and his daughter was seriously ill, so she was taken for treatment. As for the man, he stayed and reported what he knew to everyone.

In fact, according to the man, he himself didn't know what happened. He was just a poor sewer cleaner, responsible for cleaning the sewers and selling some things to make a living.

However, just a few days ago, his fate changed on that day.

The royal city was attacked.

The man himself did not know the specific situation. He only knew that he had just started working, and then the Council suddenly issued a message of martial law in the whole city, claiming that the rebels were about to attack the royal city... At that time, this kind of news was naturally heard by people at the bottom like him. No matter whether it was the rebels or the Council, no matter who was in power, the sewers still needed people to clean, and he believed that no one would snatch this job from him...

At that time, the man also talked about this matter with his colleagues who were on shift, but everyone did not think too much except worrying about the price increase in the next few days.

Then, the disaster happened.

A group of terrible soldiers suddenly appeared and killed everyone they saw!

"They killed everyone, even the soldiers and guards of the Herman Kingdom!"

Recalling that scene, the man couldn't help but tremble. Moreover, those soldiers were not wearing black armor like Hermann's soldiers. Instead, they were wearing a very strange golden armor, and they wrapped their bodies tightly, almost airtight, giving people the feeling that they were more like walking armor than humans.

Not only that, the cruelty of these soldiers was beyond words.

"They are like a group of terrible monsters, not like humans at all. They kill even the elderly and children!"

"But we didn't see any corpses on the street."

"That's another strange thing I want to say. Those terrible monsters took all the corpses away!"

"Took them away? Where did they take them?"

"In the castle of the royal city..."

"…………………………"

Kriolev and Rolex looked at each other, and both of them had solemn expressions.

Now it seems that this is indeed more like a plan by the Council, and if what this man said is correct, the other party started killing after blocking the entire city in the name of "resisting the rebels". So what is all this for? Killing people is fine, why do they have to take their bodies to the royal city?

What exactly does the Council want to do?

No one knows, but... everyone has a bad feeling.

"What should we do next, Judge?"

Uruze frowned and looked at Duanmu Huai anxiously.

"Nothing."

Duanmu Huai made a decisive decision.

"Take action immediately and prepare to attack the Royal City! By then, we will know what the Council is up to!"
