"Alright, let's go up!" Kikawa stepped up the makeshift slope, "As a guest, you can't make the host wait too long." ”

Elio followed Master Kikawa up, a slope made of a large amount of wooden rubbish that far exceeded his expectations, and the tactile sensation of his feet gave him the impression that he was not walking on a pavement made of potholes and makeshift piles, but a road made of high-quality cement.

(Awesome~ Such a passage was completed in just a few minutes, and the solidity reached the level of the cement road!) This superpower is really too strong! Elio suppressed the shock in his heart and followed Kikawa to the top floor of the building.

The situation on the roof of the building was unexpectedly bad, a large number of young men in ragged clothes and black and gray faces sat on the roof of the building, and many people simply lay down. A small number of people who were standing were also haggard, and it could be seen that they had a bad time in the past two days.

"Welcome, warriors!" Kerry stepped forward first, and he saluted Elio and Kikawa, and said in a grateful tone, "Thank you for saving the town of Yolva!" On behalf of all who are alive, I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to you! ”

"Are you the only ones left? Anyone else? Elio looked around, and there were only seventy or eighty people in total.

"And then there's a few of them, all downstairs. We took turns guarding these days, and they were all tired and resting below. Kirdry explained.

"How many days?" Elio frowned, and said suspiciously: "You guys are not far from Klek Yin City, it's only two days away, why didn't they come to the rescue?" ”

Curdry smiled bitterly, turned to Yorick and the others, and introduced: "Your Excellency the Brave, about the city of Kleikin, it is better for them to inform you of the situation, after all, they have only come from there. ”

Yorick stepped forward, and after saluting, told Elio about the attack on the city and what they had experienced along the way.

"Hmm, so the city of Klek Yin has fallen?!" Elio frowned, "Are you the only ones who escaped?" ”

"No, I don't think Kleikin has fallen!" Yorick shook his head and said, "When we left, the Monarch's Camp had not yet been captured, and the City Lord's Mansion had not yet been lost!" Although most of the city has become a wasteland, it is still fighting! Brave, please help us! There are still a large number of citizens in the city who are holding out, and they need help! If only we could find and eliminate those black-robed people, the infected patients would return to normal! ”

"Well, this can't be done by a few of us, but don't worry, we'll contact the royal family immediately!" Elio nodded, then turned back and walked back to the bottom floor.

Downstairs, Shotaro was still meditating on himself with his eyes closed, completely ignoring Elio.

Seeing this, Elio could only shake his head and walk to Oliver's side. At this time, Oliver was half-squatting on the ground, carefully rummaging through the corpses of the black-robed strangers, and found a lot of bottles and cans from their remaining corpses, as well as some properly placed crystals.

These colorful crystals, soaked in a pale green liquid, are soaked whole in an extremely strong, transparent can. Looking at the crystals in the jar, Oliver remembered the hollowed-out corpses.

"What's wrong? Got a discovery? Elio asked.

"yes, remember those weird corpses we came across earlier? They must have been victimized by these black-robed men, who first softened the crystals on the patient's body into an amber-like semi-solid, then dug it out with their own hands, and finally put it in this can! Yes, it must be ... But the new question arises, why are they doing this? And what is the use of these crystals? Oliver frowned, holding the can to take a closer look.

"Well, let's talk about that later. The people here are in dire need of treatment and help, and according to them, the big city called Kleikin has also been devastated, and it is not far from falling. We need to inform the Maharaja as soon as possible, or it will be too late!" Elio snapped.

"Tsk.,What an unexpected plot.,I'm actually going to help the original enemy.。。 Tsk, then I'm over. I'll be enough for me this time, so you and the others can stay here in case the other monsters attack again. Elio shook his head and stood up, his figure blurring as his voice fell, and finally vanished.

At this time, in the royal camp, Naples was in the midst of a heated discussion with Minister Groni in the royal tent.

"Your Excellency! What exactly does Your Majesty mean? Continue to wait and see?! Oh my God, are you sure this isn't a forged oracle?! Naples asked.

"You idiot! How can this kind of thing be faked?! Are you a fool of me? This kind of thing, please, I'm sure I've confirmed it again and again! Groni slapped the table hard.

"How so?!" Naples stomped his foot anxiously and said uneasily, "Didn't we already send the scouts' investigation reports for the past few days to Your Majesty?!" There are so many infected patients around, they are not far from the camp! If it is accidentally passed into Junzhong! The consequences are devastating! How could Your Majesty let the Maharaja stay here and take risks! ”

Groni clasped his hands together, gritted his teeth, and finally sighed: "Your Majesty is also difficult to do, he will be able to do it again before the beginning of spring next year." At present, both the government and the opposition hope to accept the land as soon as it is good, and temporarily consolidate the existing land. After all, Klek Yin City is the largest city in the south, the city is high artillery, and there are many soldiers, and there has been news a long time ago that all parts of the south have sent reinforcements to the past, and if they really attack, I am afraid it will be a vicious battle. ”

"Your Excellency, regarding the battle situation, I personally suggest that it is better to withdraw first. Even without this plague, I mean so. The current situation of the war is indeed in our favor, but the whole is too deep into the south. The supply lines have reached their limits, and the loyalty of the cities behind us, whether they are defeated or surrendered, cannot stand the test! They are just subservient to the powerful power of the Maharaja, and in the event of an accident, their subordinates can be sure that they will rebel as soon as possible! If that time comes, not to mention the southern part of the kingdom, the whole kingdom will be rotten! Your Excellency, I would like to ask you ... ”

"Idiot! Do you think I don't know the consequences?! Groni interrupted Naples' admonition and glared at Naples with angry eyes, and the young man was not afraid to look back at him.

Groni snorted coldly from his nose, and then explained weakly: "I know this, and so do the ministers of the royal city. Do you think that my ministers and I did not admonish Your Majesty?! Do you think Your Majesty doesn't know about this situation?! We know it! Your Majesty understands! But Your Majesty wants to fight! If it weren't for this plague, you and I would have commanded the assault in front of that city now! ”

Napoli stopped talking, and was silent for a few minutes, and then he sighed, "Your Majesty is gambling that those sick people will die as soon as possible." It's true that most of the people with magic stone disease die quickly, but if there are exceptions, this outbreak is so weird. The subordinates are worried that there is a shady curtain that we don't know about is manipulating behind the scenes! ”

"I think so too, no, I've already let the brave people who are immune to all diseases go to investigate. When they come back, we'll ask them and make the next steps based on the information they get... Groni spread his hands.

"Your Excellency!" One of the guards entered the tent and, after saluting the two men, reported:

"Your Excellency Gronnie, the brave man has returned, saying that there is urgent information to inform you!"

"Brave, what news did you bring?!" Groney asked Oliver, who had just entered the tent.

"Bad news. Very, very bad ... Oliver stepped forward, walked to the sand table, drew a line with his hand, and finally lit a flag representing the small town of Yorva, "The villages along the way, all the people are dead, there is no one left, there are dead corpses along the way." When we finally got here, most of the people in this town died, and more than eighty percent of the remaining small half of the people were infected, and there were only a few hundred healthy people left in the town. ”

"God of Light ... There were more than 40,000 people in that town! There are also villages along the way. Is this disease so bad?! Groni frowned, then gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that this place can't stay any longer, and it must be evacuated immediately, otherwise the entire Maharaja will be finished!" ”

"Wait a minute, in fact, there are indeed many people who get sick, but not many who die directly." Oliver quickly stopped Gronnie, who was about to give the order.

"What? Didn't you die of illness? Not... Brave, tell us more about it. Gronnie's face became more solemn.

"Okay, I'll pick and choose as much as I can... Oliver shrugged and told Groni and Napoli everything he had seen along the way, especially what he had found in the town, and what he had learned from the survivors who had evacuated from the city.

"There is such a thing, please! Not only did they use sick civilians to attack towns, but they also tortured and killed them in large numbers for the sake of their crystals?! These black-robed crumbs! They must not be spared! Groni clenched his fists tightly.

"Please leave the black robe miscellaneous things alone for the time being, we have already killed a batch, well, the most important thing now is to hurry to the place called Klek Yin City, where the people continue to rescue." Oliver tapped his finger to the Cleck marker on the sand table, "It's been two and a half days since the survivors fled the city. And it was about three days from our camp to the city, and although I wasn't sure if the people in the city would be able to hold out for six days, we really had to go. ”

Grony nodded, looked at the sand table, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, we have to go, otherwise once Kleikein is destroyed, this large area will be seriously affected, and it will be very detrimental to the future rule of the kingdom!" ”
