"Don't worry, I'll go find her!" Oswell forced his anxious heart, took out a key from his pocket, lowered himself and said: "This is the key to the cellar at the back door, you take the child, immediately hide inside!" Once inside, it will be locked, remember! Be sure to reverse the lock! ”

"What about you and Luoya, what are you going to do?" Suvina had a bad premonition in her heart and clung to her husband's sleeve.

"I have the key, and when I find them, I'll come and meet you soon. Now, let's take the kids right away! Oswell pulled out another key and quickly put it back.

Suvina's uneasiness grew stronger, and she tried to persuade her, but Oswell, who saw her intentions, shook her head and refused. I saw him lean down, touch the faces of the two children, and then turn around and quickly run into the burning house.

Seeing this, Suvina could only wipe her tears and pull the two children to run in the direction of the cellar.

Bent over his waist, Osville scanned the room. Most of the servants in the house have been sent by him to guard the defense line, and now the defense line has collapsed, and even after the explosion of steam cannons accidentally concentrated in the mansion and caused a fire, the remaining servants have all fled the mansion, trying to create a way out. The mansion was almost empty, but Oswell knew that his lover and children were here!

Finally climbing to the top floor, Oswell ran to the little attic, which was the last room. Looking at the closed door, he suddenly felt a little melancholy, the fire behind him had consumed the only way, and he suddenly no longer wanted to find Oveloa and Oz after opening the door, so as to prove that they were safe.

But when he opened the door, his sister Oveloa was sitting quietly in a chair, with a little fat man lying on her lap. She was so quiet, it seemed that neither the fire inside the house nor the war outside the house affected her.

"Brother... There you are... The corners of Oveloa's eyes reddened, and she looked at Oswell. This shook Oswell's heart, and he looked down at the little fat man, who was motionless as if he had fallen asleep.

"No, God, no!" He quickly ran to Oveloa's side, then lifted Oz's body with trembling hands.

This little fat man, who has been smirking since he was a child, is now pale and his eyes are closed. There was a cut in the back of his head, and the blood had not completely dried up. The scene made Oswell break down, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"You haven't come to see him for the past two days, he just wants to look in front of the window... Then the cannon flew and shook him to the ground... When I found him, he was already out of breath... Brother... Oveloa began to cry as well.

"It's okay... I'm coming.. Loya. I'm coming! Oswell hugged Oveloa tightly, slapping her on the back with his hand for relief.

Seeing the tongue of fire outside the door gradually approaching, Oviloya sighed, straightened up, and asked indifferently, "What about Suvina?" What about Ole and Ollang? ”

"I let her take the baby to the cellar... Oswell touched his sister's long hair.

"Is it safe there?"

"I don't know, but I hope they're okay." Oswell hugged Oveloa and Oz's body, and sighed: "I'm sorry, Loya, maybe we shouldn't go south, say not to surrender to the royal family, we will avoid this tragic end." ”

Looking behind him, there was also the gradually approaching tongue of fire on the ceiling, Oswell shook his head and sighed: "Luoya, I'm sorry, I didn't give you the life you wanted, and let you usher in such an endgame, I really hope that we will no longer be brothers and sisters in the next life." ”

"No~! Brother! Oveloa smiled, "I wish we were still brother and sister, so that we could be together again." ”

"Loya...

In the firelight, the three of them hugged each other tightly.

Suvina was trembling as she listened to the increasingly noisy noises outside and the increasingly closed footsteps. Eventually, a muffled footstep kept approaching.

Heideler looked at the empty room, which was empty, but a clear footprint made him hold his forehead. He looked down, his brow furrowed.

(This footprint should be a woman's, sandwiched between the left and right sides, it should be two children.) Don't... Hey, Lord Oswell, I'm sorry, but I never managed to save you. ）

Heidler waved his hand, sweeping away all traces of the ground. Then he went out of the room and closed the door.

Heideler walked out of the cellar and sighed as he looked at the burning mansion. At this moment, one of the cultists squirmed, quickly moved to him, leaned down, and said respectfully, "My lord, this mansion has been suppressed and all the resistors have been cleared. ”

"Is anyone out of the house?" Heidler gestured to the mansion.

"No, my lord, we surrounded the mansion, but we didn't see anyone leaving from within. Due to the large size of the fire, neither the cultists nor the holy insects can enter, do you need to arrange manual monitoring and probing after the fire is extinguished? ”

"No need, such a fierce flame, there is no chance of survival... Heideler shook his head, "Alright, I've already explored the area behind here, now, let everyone evacuate, it's time to leave." ”

"Yes, my lord." The cultist turned and walked away, and Heidler looked up again at the mansion that was about to burn down, and then left the manor with heavy steps.

In the afternoon, with the issuance of the evacuation order, the strength of the Snake of Finality's attack on the Junying and the City Lord's Mansion began to decline, and gradually changed into a posture of besieging but not attacking, and many infected people were also transferred back to the temporary camp for crystal extraction, which ushered in a rare time for the two places that had been under attack for several days.

Hawke wiped the sweat from his forehead, and poured another sip of alchemy potion, he has hardly left the defense line in the past few days, not to mention sleeping, even if he has time to take a nap, and now he can still have the energy to stand and command, and it is all supported by the potion.

"How's it going? Why don't the infected go on the offensive?! Does anyone know what's going on?! Hawke turned to look at the staff behind him.

"This..." These staff officers were also mentally exhausted, looking at each other, and they were also confused about the sudden change in the battle situation.

One of the younger red-haired men stepped forward, rubbed his eyes, and said with a strong spirit: "Lord of the City, I think that maybe the enemy is planning to withdraw the king. ”

"Remove the king?" Hawke frowned, he still knows quite well about the battle situation in the past few days, the enemy is completely pressing them to fight, if it weren't for the strong inner fortress as the city lord's mansion, plus the arrangement of enough soldiers, plus the steam cannon added to deal with the royal monarch, I am afraid that it would have been defeated by this time.

"Maude, do you think they'll go? In such an extremely favorable situation? We don't have reinforcements, we don't have enough ammunition, and even we don't have a lot of food, and in this case, they will give up the almost certain victory and leave? You know, we'll hold out for four more days at most, and then the castle won't be able to hold on! ”

"Yes, Lord Castle!" Maude nodded, and pointed to the chess pieces representing the royal monarch on the sand table, "We really don't have reinforcements, the city guard has been divided and wiped out a lot before, and the reinforcements stationed in the city's monarch's camp have also been blocked in the king's camp, but my lord, don't forget, here, the royal monarch is not far from us!" ”

"You're saying they're going south? In this time of the pandemic? Hawke shook his head and pointed to the signs of several villages and towns on the sand table, "As long as they are not stupid, they must have sent scouts to reconnoitre!" Considering that this is the direct ruler of the royal family, the mad king must have sent elite secret guards to investigate, and it is impossible that he will not find out the disaster along the way, which is proved by the fact that they have not launched an attack, and they are all good if they don't retreat, how can they lose their minds

Run here. ”

"Your Excellency, Lord of the City..." Horns, who had joined the garrison in the fort, was also indoors, and he stood up: "The possibility of the royal prince going south is indeed not high, but there is still no small possibility. Now not only here, but even the distant Junying defense line has no cannon sound, and the enemy is obviously planning to retreat in an all-round way! I don't think there are any other possibilities other than the upcoming Maharaja. ”

"That's right..." Hawke nodded slightly, and his tense nerves relaxed suddenly, making him almost fall without standing still.

"Lord of the Castle !!" This move frightened the people around him.

"Okay, I'm fine. Block the news and at the same time let the soldiers not let their guard down! Hawk rubbed his eyes, his eyelids getting heavy, "I'm going to rest... Nothing important, don't bother me. Oh, by the way, when the royal prince comes, notify me and the old city lord as soon as possible! ”

After speaking, Hawk didn't care about the command room that blew up the pot, and walked straight into the bedroom.

High in the air, a simple quadcopter drone hovered above the city of Clarkin, controlled by Mitre who had infiltrated the city, constantly patrolling the corners of the city.

"Mitre, have you found the family of the Deep Worms? Be careful, listen to the survivors, there are quite a few of them! Scarlet's voice rang out from the internal channel.

"Yes, sir, at least three hundred have been found so far, these guys are quite infected, but those who can manipulate the patients, it seems that there are only about twenty people. In addition, I have found a number of high-ranking dependents, and there may be the leader of this dependents. Mitre looked closely at the image on the improvised tablet in her hand, and since it was improvised, the pixel was very low.

"By the way, sir, the dependents have stopped their attack, and quite a few of them are carrying things south, I suspect they are going to run away!" Mitre added.

"Tsk, this is troublesome, the aboriginal monarch team still has some time to arrive, well, it looks like we have to do it first!" Scarlet opened his mouth and ordered, "Mitre, cause as much chaos as possible, delay their evacuation, and we'll be there soon!" ”
