Chapter 113: Dusk of the Principality
"Ah, Matthew, you're awake. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I just made a bowl of corn lotus seed porridge, come and try it. Roque said with a smile when he saw Matthew, who had obviously just woken up, standing in the doorway looking at him.
Last night, Roque and Chris didn't sleep all night, but they are both successful professionals, so they can ignore the mental damage caused by staying up late, Matthew is still a little girl after all, and she must be very tired from resting so late yesterday, so Roque specially made a bowl of corn lotus seed porridge for her to replenish her spirit.
“…… Good. Matthew was probably not familiar with Chris on the side, and was a little afraid of life, so he chose a seat close to Roque and sat down to start breakfast.
While Matthew was eating, Roque said to Chris, "Finn, they left here early in the morning and headed northeast. Based on the time they left, it would have taken us about half a day to catch up with them. ”
Of course, this time refers to the speed at which Roque can travel normally without turning on the wind, because he can't leave Chris alone and take Matthew away, and Chris is not a little girl like Matthew, Roque can't carry him (he can't carry it if he can).
"I'm not in a hurry. After all, there are dozens of them, and there are only three of us, so it will be easy to catch up. Instead, I am concerned about the dangers that may be encountered on the road, such as ...... The army of the Yug Empire. Chris deliberately glanced at Matthew, who was eating porridge with his head bored.
"Oh, you said those soldiers of the Yug Empire, don't worry about this. Believe it or not. Roque suddenly waved his hand and took out a very familiar thing from the space ring, which was the elemental detector that appeared a long time ago.
"It's called an elemental detector, and it's a device I asked Uncle Polpo to make to detect the concentration of elements. And it also has an additional function that can display the position and distance of monsters with elemental attributes within a certain range on the display, and you can also think of it as an enemy position indicator. With it we can avoid potential dangers. Roque introduced.
"What a magical treasure...... Anyway, did you have the idea of letting me use this detector, because you must be carrying Matthew on your back, and you can't spare your hands at all, so I have to do this hard work? "Chris looks like I've lost you, and it seems that it is a very draining thing for him to keep his nerves tense all the time looking at the screen.
"There's no way around it, who told you to meet us right here?" Roque smiled, thinking that if I hadn't met you, I would have carried Matthew on my back and turned on the wind all the way, no matter what danger is not dangerous, all eat ashes behind me!
……
At this time, about 500 kilometers away from Roque and the others, a fierce siege battle was taking place.
The army of the besieging side is undoubtedly the main force of the Yug Empire, this group of troops is equipped with hundreds of wolf-type boss-level monsters, plus soldiers with good strength, so the offensive is extremely fierce, although the defenders have several powerful magic cannons, but they can only slightly block the offensive of the Yug army, and this strategic weapon consumes a huge amount of money, and it can't be used for a long time, which means that the defeat of the defenders is only a matter of time.
"General...... We...... Surrender, I can't hold it anymore! Look at the soldiers in our rear, they don't even have the courage to go out and resist! A middle-aged man who looked like an adjutant said to the general in the main seat with great grief and indignation.
"I also agree with Mr. Gehr. The soldiers of the Yog Empire have the help of the monster legion, and they are simply not something that mortals like us can resist, and they will inevitably be slaughtered, so we should surrender as soon as possible. ”
"Your Excellency, with all due respect, it is no longer a problem that we can solve the problem by surrendering or not, according to the momentum of the Yug Empire, it is obvious that all obstacles that prevent him from dominating Anas must be removed, if ordinary civilians may not be slaughtered, such as us, the high-ranking officials of the principality, must be the priority to clean up. So even if we surrender now, it is pointless. The general spoke his heart in a heavy tone.
"......" For a moment, everyone in the room fell into an eerie silence. An air of despair began to spread through the air.
"But I don't want to sit still!" The general's eyes suddenly lit up, and he made a sound that bordered on roaring.
"Why, General Jerich, do you have any other tricks?" As if grasping at a life-saving straw, the city lord hurriedly asked.
"When I was traveling around the continent in my early years, I once found a strange book of unknown origin in a store that sold ancient books, and after I bought this book, I secretly found someone to translate it, and then I learned that there was a secret book that recorded an evil secret method of blood sacrifice. In order to unleash this secret method, thousands of lives must be killed, and they must be sapient beings. Such a demanding request I didn't think I would ever use it at the time. It's just that today...... I'm afraid I have to use it. "General Jerichie exudes a terrifying dark aura at this time, which makes Adjutant Gehr, who knows him well, unbelievable, is this still the Iron and Righteous General Jerich?
“…… That's right. No one wants to die. Since there is a way to avoid it, don't hesitate. I'd rather be the people of the world than the people of the world to bear me! In exchange for the lives of thousands of civilians, for our safety, as long as compensation is made afterwards, I don't think anyone will say anything more. The city lord slowly sat back in his seat, and he had already begun to think about how to lure thousands of civilians into participating in the blood sacrifice.
"But it will take a long time to activate this secret method. While I prepare, I hope you will do everything in your power to support the defensive line. Otherwise...... Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs? Jerichie said lightly.
"No problem. Even if I go bankrupt, I will promise a lot of money for those outlaws to keep this time for us! Master Jerich, you can prepare the secret method with peace of mind, and I will arrange for the manpower! The city lord found a confidant and explained a few words, and hurried out.
"Gehr. Help me go to the general store and alchemy room in the city and collect the items on this list. Remember, be fast. Jerich handed Gehr a list, and after a little hesitation, the latter gritted his teeth and turned away, leaving General Jerich alone in the room for a while.
If anyone were still here at this time, they would have noticed that General Jerich's demeanor was very abnormal, and seemed to be a little ...... Pathological madness!
"Hey, hey, hey...... Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...... It's time for my 'Blood Demon God' to descend on Anais, and when the time comes, all the monster legions will be miscellaneous fish! I can wipe out an entire army by myself! Even those ninth-order peak professionals would be difficult to kill when they encountered my Blood Demon God, because the source of the Blood Demon God's power was not elemental power, but blood qi! As the blood energy absorbed into the slain life increases, the Blood Demon God will continue to evolve until he reaches the apex of Anais! At that time, what is the fear of the Yug Empire, it will be easy for me Jerich to build a huge empire......" General Jerich's gloomy laughter echoed in the empty room, and there was a blood-colored phantom, just like the twilight of the Duchy of Clinston, just the last ray of light before the sun went down!
