Chapter Seventy-Three: Deeper Despair
"Help! Don't!"
From the messy streets, people's miserable cries for help can be heard, and the buildings covered with gunsmoke are crawling with terrifying-looking monsters.
"Drink!"
Ling Feng, who was holding the Demon in his hand, jumped back and forth on the building, swinging out slash after slash, destroying the monsters that were hovering on the building one by one.
But at the current rate, it's impossible to save everyone.
After summoning the monsters, Sitoli disappeared, and Gluttony fell from the air to the ground, participating in the attack.
[Master, many fighting humans appear on the streets, expected to be the transcendents of Estes.]
Filia, who was following behind her, said after glancing with her detection ability.
"Very well, this should reduce the damage a bit."
Ling Feng, who had eliminated the monster with another blow, replied while running quickly. Also looking at Renault's castle.
At Renault's mansion is the created Black Dragon with the Magic Eye.
Although the magic is not as terrifying as the main body, it is more than enough to deal with a few squads of the guild.
His destination was to the mansion, where an unconscious Lilith was still lying.
The only fighting power in the mansion is a bunch of trained soldiers and Soyana, and this number alone can't compete with it.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng's figure shuttling through the group of monsters became even faster.
A few minutes later, Ling Feng came to Renault's mansion. I didn't find the Black Dragon with the Magic Eye.
At this time, half of the city lord's mansion had been destroyed, and the grass was full of messy clothes and tablecloths, and some blood stains that had not yet dried could be seen.
Lilith!
Ling Feng, who hurriedly rushed into the mansion, saw the wooden staircase that had been cut off by the waist, and the shards of glass scattered all over the ground.
How can you fix it, you must be fine!
Just as Ling Feng ran into the door of Lilith's room, an ogre wielding a big stick ran out of the room. His body was covered in bright red blood.
This scene made Ling Feng's heart cold, could it be that Lilith had already ......
No way, it's absolutely impossible! Lilith is fine.
She must be fine......
Through the gap next to the ogre's waist, Ling Feng saw the magic scepter that Lilith usually held, and at this time, this magic scepter had broken apart.
A hammer-like blow hit you straight into your heart.
Ling Feng, whose pupils were dilated instantly, began to shake violently as he held the demon's hand, and his teeth that were clenched together made a piercing grinding sound.
"Get out of here!"
Ling Feng roared angrily, slashing the demon in his hand forward with all his might, and the ogre who didn't have time to react was directly cut off by the waist.
Blood suddenly spurted out in large spurts, and Ling Feng kicked over the ogre who was only half of his body left, and jumped into the room with a leap of his feet.
When he came to the large bed where Lilith was lying, he saw nothing but a quilt full of holes.
"Has Lilith escaped?"
After seeing this, Ling Feng's excitement eased slightly, and after running out of the room, he shouted loudly at Filia who was scanning the hall.
"Philia, did you detect anyone?"
[Master, no one.]
After hearing Felia's answer, Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
If there were injured or killed people in the mansion, Filia would have detected them, and if not, there was a good chance that they had already fled the mansion.
But the monster appeared in the mansion only ten minutes ago, and I didn't see Renault and the others all the way.
At this time, Ling Feng remembered something that Chris had told him.
Secret passages in the office!
Thinking of this, Ling Feng called Filia and came to Renault's office together.
At this time, the office also looked miserable, and the floor was covered with shredded documents and shards of glass.
When he turned his head to look at the bathroom, Ling Feng found that the door of the bathroom was open with some gaps.
After opening the door, Filia turned on the detection ability, only to learn that the magic circle of the dark tunnel had been activated.
Then the two of them entered the dark tunnel, which was dark and had almost zero visibility.
But this was nothing to Filia and Ling Feng.
Relying on the ability of spiritual vision and system, the two of them are moving forward unhindered in the dark passage.
Soon, Filia detected a life reaction in front of her.
Ling Feng hurriedly ran up and down, looking for the faintly revealed white light, and came to a gate.
At this time, the door was tightly closed, and no matter how hard Ling Feng tried, he couldn't open it.
[Master, Lilith and Soyana are all inside.]
"Hey, I'm Ling Feng, open the door! Anyone??"
After Ling Feng shouted a few words loudly, there was a creak from the door in front of him, and then he saw the head maid wearing a headband.
After seeing Ling Feng, Drith showed a look of surprise on her face and opened the door wide.
"Lord Ling Feng, come in!"
After the two of them followed Drith inside, it was a relatively spacious room, furnished with many daily necessities, and the size of the room could be compared to the hall in the mansion.
But at this time, the room was crowded with people, and it looked a little compact.
Soon Ling Feng saw Lilith sleeping in the crowd, and beside her were Renault and Soyana.
After seeing Ling Feng, Suo Yana was stunned for a moment, then ran over with messy steps, stretched out her hand and hugged Ling Feng directly.
"Great, you're okay!"
There was a cry in his voice.
"Ah...... Sorry, Soyana, I didn't arrive in time to get to the mansion."
"It's okay, the mansion can be rebuilt, you're fine."
"Hmm."
Suo Yana's voice reassured Ling Feng, and then Ling Feng came to Renault's side and began to discuss the current situation.
The current situation is that Estes is full of monsters, as I can see, even the city lord's mansion has been attacked, and the shops on those streets are definitely not much better, except for the Chamber of Commerce protected by the magic array, the rest of the place is basically occupied by monsters.
After some civilians retreated, the transcendents of the Beyonder Guild also started a battle with the monsters, and Renault also mobilized all the soldiers to cooperate with the transcendents to save the civilians who did not escape.
But the reality is desperate, most of the soldiers sent out have been killed by mutant species and the black dragon of the Demon Eye, and even the transcendents have been defeated and retreated, and many people have died.
It can be said that the whole battle situation is overwhelmingly unfavorable.
As Ling Feng was thinking, he suddenly found that there was only half of the original team of twenty maids left, and even the butler Chris was nowhere to be found.
"Is there anyone who hasn't run away?"
Ling Feng turned his head to ask Suo Yana, only to see that after Suo Yana heard it, she lowered her head and was silent.
"Did you flee somewhere else?"
Ling Feng, who was touching his chin, still didn't realize the truth, and it could be said that Ling Feng wouldn't think about that possibility.
I only heard Renault say in a slightly hoarse trembling voice in a low tone.
"They were killed by monsters while protecting our retreat."
"Hey, hey, Renault-sama, it's a joke like this."
After Ling Feng smiled helplessly, his smile then became stiff.
At this time, everyone around was a sad and sad expression.
Don't......
