Chapter 22: The Fall of the Empire

"Retreat! Retreat! No...... Flee to the outside of the city!" A non-commissioned officer shouted to his subordinates who were fighting while resisting the attack of the demons.

"Captain, their army is coming in through the city gate! We can't rush through!" shouted one of the guards, just distracted and torn by the demons, he knew that there was no hope of survival, he lifted his long sword and inserted it from top to bottom, piercing the demons and his chest together.

"Leo!" The non-commissioned officer had a resolute gaze, and his eyes were red at this moment, and he slashed the demon who was pushing him next to him with a sword: "Brothers, let's go to the church!

"Yes!!" Everyone gathered together and went like a sharp sword towards the place of the church.

Enzo... Enzo is still ...... As long as you find him, there is still hope!

Everyone had great faith in their hearts, and they were so motivated that they rushed to the church, and even if their brothers were left behind, they were still resolute and would have a chance to live!

In the chaotic imperial capital, such things happened everywhere, and when they saw that there was no hope of escaping from the city, they all turned around and rushed to the church.

Someone spontaneously blocked the pursuit of the demons with flesh and blood, and gave their friends or relatives a chance to escape to life, a group of soldiers arrived first, they were about to rush in with joy on their faces, and one person suddenly felt that something was wrong, pointed to it and shouted:

"Look at it!"

The group looked up, a huge crack spread on the top of the church, countless demons scrambled to fall, and the non-commissioned officer shouted: "What are you looking at?!

But the man stopped where he was, with a look of despair: "Beads!

At this moment, everyone, including those who rushed over later, stopped, and only then did they notice that the bead that was supposed to light up over the imperial capital forever had lost its light.

The beads go out... No, it can't be! Master Enzo wouldn't rush into the church !! the sergeant didn't believe it, he wanted to make sure that it couldn't be!

While the others fended off the demons who kept rushing over, they still stared at the beads with a glimmer of hope to confirm.

At this time, a demon jumped down from the crack and landed on the roof, when he opened his teeth and claws and was about to rush down, he inexplicably looked at the beads embedded in the top next to him and was not happy, and the sword was raised, and the beads rolled to the eaves and fell.

"Bang-" With a bang, it shattered and fell apart.

The crisp sound seemed to sound not only on the ground, but also in everyone's heart.

In an instant, everyone stopped resisting, their expressions desperate and sad, for them, there was no hope.

The demons happily slaughtered these humans who didn't know why they no longer acted, and everyone present did not resist.

From the moment the beads were shattered, the Atlantean Empire, an empire of humanity, on the edge of the continent, began to sink.

......

It took Elsie a moment to react, she tried to stand up and climb up to the wall and climb out, as soon as she moved, her waist stabbed violently, as if her body was torn, she looked down, and when she just fell, there seemed to be a sharp branch that cut a large piece of his waist.

But Elsie didn't have time to care, she forced herself to stand up and hold on to the wall, but even if she kept crying, her fingers scratched the wall and scratched the blood, it was to no avail, and there was no escape.

There was the sound of monsters fighting everywhere outside, but here there was only his own voice, and Elsie fell to his knees, almost collapsing.

"Please...... Survive! Survive! Don't leave me alone...... I can't afford to lose you anymore...... Everyone...... Doro!" Elsie cried out on the ground, she hated her weakness now more than ever, she got up and stuck her bloody fingers into the crack in the wall, the three-meter palace wall, but it was like the next day.

"Plop!" someone flew over Elsie's head and fell heavily behind him, lying on the ground silently, Elsie turned to see him rushing up and pounced on the man.

"Lina... Sister Lina!" Fislina's eyes were closed and her expression stiffened, and Elsie cried and pushed her twice, but Feslina didn't react at all, she held the ground with one hand, ready to help her up.

Elsie's hand holding the ground felt an inexplicable wetness, she opened her hand, and found that her palms were full of blood red, looking down, I don't know when, the ground was full of blood, looking at the direction of the blood flow, she had a bad premonition, and slowly helped Feslina up, Elsie looked sideways.

Fesrina had a large hole in her back, and her body was almost hollowed out.

Elsie lost her strength all of a sudden, Fislina's body lost her support and instantly fell back to the ground, blood on the ground splashed on Elsie's face, she suddenly reacted, and her hands trembled and she closed her eyes tightly and hugged her head into her arms: "Linna... Sister..."

"Plop, plop!" was the sound of flesh hitting the ground again. Elsie didn't dare to look back, and hugged Fisrina's body tightly.

There was a violent coughing sound from behind, and the people behind him were alive! Elsie dared to go back to see that Rick was lying on the ground, his body was blurred with blood, and he was spitting blood foaming outward, and Lily was lying not far away, life and death unknown.

"Rick!" Elsie rushed over to cast a spell to heal, but found that he didn't have a staff by his side, and he didn't know where to throw it.

She didn't dare to shake Rick, so she had to call out loudly: "Rick, Rick, wake up!"

Fortunately, Rick responded, he gasped for breath twice, and Elsie wiped the blood on the side of his mouth with his sleeve: "How are you now?"

Rick said with difficulty: "No... Affair. He had just said two words and then there was a violent cough, he took two sharp breaths, his expression was painful, Elsie felt that he was almost suffocating, but she could only look helplessly, unable to do anything.

"Elsie!"

There was the sound of someone landing and calling behind him, and hearing the familiar voice, Elsie seemed to have found the backbone: "Doro!"

Doro knelt on one knee with the support of his heavy sword in one hand, and covered his chest with the other, he had several wounds on his body that were visible to the naked eye, but he was still able to stand and not fall.

Dylan also looked badly injured, but he forced himself to stand up and rushed to Fislina's side, and Elsie saw him with an expression he had never seen before, full of helplessness and panic.

"Elsie. Doro called again, and Elsie rushed to his side: "You..." Doro took out two blood vials with a flick of his hand and stuffed them into Elsie's hand: "This, for Rick and Dylan." ”

Elsie had seen this little red vial, and he had saved Dylan's life with it.

"And what about you?!!!! ”

Elsie no longer hesitated, she was much more decisive now, Rick half-closed his eyes again, completely incapacitated, Elsie pulled out the bottle and poured it directly into him, fortunately he still had the instinct to swallow.

Then he rushed to Dylan's side, "Dylan!

Dylan didn't listen to him at all, just kept staring at Feslina's face. Elsie was in a hurry and grabbed him by the shoulders and forced him to turn.

The red bottle finally entered Dylan's eyes, and Elsie hurriedly shouted, "Treat the injury, drink it quickly!"

Dylan was stunned for a moment, then snatched the bottle and pulled it open, pushing Fisrina open and pouring it down.

"Dylan!" Elsie stopped, and the liquid poured into Fiserina's mouth and flowed out again, Dylan didn't want to push his fingers in at all, lifted Fiserina's jaw, and forced the liquid in.

"Dylan!" Elsie didn't know how to persuade him, but he couldn't stop him.

"Dylan, Fesrina is dead. A calm voice sounded behind him, and Dylan's movements finally froze.

Elsie looked back at Doro, and Doro spoke again: "First, that thing can only heal wounds and not resurrect. Second, you can't get a corpse to swallow something. A calm voice said the most heartless words.

Dylan paused, threw away the bottle, put his forehead on Fislina's forehead, and whispered, "Sister... Sister. ”

This was the first time Elsie had heard Dylan say these two words, and it took almost all of Dylan's strength, and Elsie's tears flowed down again, and Fisrina must have been very happy to hear it, but... Why didn't she react at all?

Within minutes, everyone she knew was dead and wounded, and Elsie sat down next to Dylan, feeling that the world was cruel.
