"As for those bugs, we have also made some anthelmintic agents, which should be able to prevent them, and even if someone is bitten and infected, the initial symptoms can be easily cured by the dissolver! Rest assured! ”

Groni was silent, put his hands behind his back, and pondered for a moment before finally making a decision. He raised his head and said to Naples, "Boy, go and prepare, it's time to go!" ”

"Your Excellency, we have not received His Majesty's approval, and besides, do you really intend to take this risk?" Napoli looked at Chancellor Groni with a worried look on his face.

After hearing this, Groni stepped forward and patted Naples on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Boy, as a commander, sometimes, you have to take risks and you have to be responsible. Because there are some things that are worth the risk! ”

The city of Kleckin, since its establishment, has been known as the southern jewel of the kingdom of Grande, and it is the proud work of Ether V in his early years, and it is also the main driving force for him to continue to invest in the south and vigorously build Kintal. It can be said that the construction of the entire south is carried out around this central point. Thus, for more than forty years, the city of Kleikin had been an extremely prosperous city, and yet five days ago, it was all over.

After the infected launched an attack under the command of the black-robed cultists, the lower part of the city immediately lost control and was completely lost in a short period of time. Although the city lord quickly mobilized the stationed reinforcements and built an improvised defensive line, he then sent the veterans of the elite city guard battalion to counterattack. But there are too many infected people, under the actions of the black-robed man, more and more civilians have been infected, with the strange black-robed man's ability and terrifying limbs, the city guard camp soon fell into a stalemate, and then it was divided and surrounded, and the losses are getting bigger and bigger, plus the siege of the king's camp and the city lord's mansion, they lost their support, and by the next morning, in addition to the garrison of the king's camp and the city lord's mansion, almost the entire Kleikein fell.

Heidler looked at a mansion in the distance, which was under fierce siege from the infected, and the counterattack in the house was getting weaker and weaker, and the surrounding fortifications were almost covered by a sea of corpses.

Heidler's heart was filled with a hint of unbearability, and the occupants of the mansion were none other than his benefactors--- the Osville family, the former lord of Lochrian. In the past, when he was framed and lost all his honor and property, even his life was deprived of him. It was Oswell who said that saved his life, although it was nothing more, he was sentenced to exile in the end, but after all, he was a life-saving benefactor, and what is even more rare is that Oswell and his friendship is not deep, at best it can only be regarded as a general friend, and it is simply that he can't get used to the stupid beetles in the south who are too bad.

Heidler had always wanted to repay the kindness of the lord of Lochlian, and he had secretly sworn that he would do his best to repay the opportunity in his lifetime. But the road to exile was difficult and bumpy, and after a few years of wandering, he joined the Serpent of the End, and many transformations made it difficult for him to be called a human again, and naturally he lost the opportunity to meet the city lord again.

Heideler looked at the increasingly crumbling defensive line, and his heart became more and more anxious, and finally he made up his mind, turned and walked to the rear temporary command hall.

In the hall, several black-robed cakes were flattering Velez, and they all knew very well that it was only a matter of time before the complete fall of Kleck Inn City. Seeing this, Heidler frowned, stepped forward quickly, and said:

"Prophet, today is the fifth day, but the city has not yet been completely captured, and this is beyond the three-day target we set at the beginning. I beg you, give the order to evacuate! ”

The black-robed people around looked at Heideler with a foolish eye, and many people couldn't help but turn their heads and whisper to each other, arguing in a whisper about whether this high-ranking monarch in power was really completely crazy because he couldn't stand the price of the gift. Only a few of them were solemn, and a few of them nodded in agreement.

"Tell me your reasoning, Heidler." The corners of Velez's mouth raised, and he looked at his subordinates with appreciation, in fact, he also had the heart to withdraw from the king.

"The main reason is that the royal monarch not far away, the attack a few days ago did not block the whole city at the first time, and many garrisons and even civilians ran out. Especially if there are people who are running north, the cultists who are currently in charge of reconnaissance in the north have not responded for several days, and I have a bad premonition. Heidler's face grew solemn.

"Oh?" Vélez frowned, looked at a high-ranking priest on the side, and asked loudly, "Ronde!" Is this true? Why haven't I received any news at all?! ”

"It's true ... Venerable Prophet ... But it doesn't matter. Short, fat, Ronde had his head down, and almost his entire body was prostrate on the ground.

"You are not qualified to define the importance of the matter! As I have already said, all the news from the north must be notified to me as soon as possible! Hmph, write down this punishment yourself, and when you return to the headquarters, you will receive the punishment immediately! Vélez shouted angrily.

"Yes! Yes, sir! Round replied with a shudder.

"Humph!" After reprimanding his men, Vélez turned to the wall where the map hung and took a closer look at the area north of Kleikin.

After discovering that Vélez also had the intention of withdrawing the king, Heideler decided to strike while the iron was hot, hurriedly stepped forward, and continued to persuade: "Lord Prophet, this attack, my sect's harvest has been extremely rich, in addition to countless gold and silver property, and most importantly, a large amount of God's flesh and blood food, we have already arrived, once it is transported back to the cultivation base, we can quickly produce a considerable amount of God's Gift, and make a large number of promotion potions. But in the past few days, only a few supplies have been brought back, and a large amount of loot is still piled up in the city. The Maharaja may arrive today, and at that point, it will be very difficult for us to move the supplies smoothly, and it will even affect the overall evacuation plan. ”

"Heideler, are you so sure of the arrival of the Maharaja?!" Vélez asked in a deep voice, "On the way south of the Maharaja, we have infected a large number of people, and their scouts must have discovered this situation and reported it. Previously, they did not dare to go south because they were afraid of being infected. I don't believe that now, when the epidemic is completely outbreaking, they will have the courage to enter the city of Kleikin! ”

"This..." Heideler was a little anxious in his heart, he was not sure that the royal prince would definitely go south, especially after losing the tip, but the current situation was urgent, he could only grit his teeth and continue to persuade: "Lord Prophet! The subordinates are indeed not 100% sure, but the loss of contact with the congregants planted in the north is already a risk signal, and the subordinates believe that the church should be prepared for the possible fierce war. ”

"Fierce war... Vélez bowed his head and groaned, then nodded, "That's true, even the city guards in Klek Yin City, and even the group of hastily trained recruits, have persevered to this day. It is still difficult to rely on those who infect civilians and are relatively few in number. If you face the royal monarchs who are well prepared and have a large number, I am afraid that there will be a lot of losses... Alright, Heideler, tell the cultists to evacuate as soon as possible, take as many amber crystals as they can, and tell those fools to throw me the gold and silver and other mundane things! The church doesn't need them! If I were to see anyone who was secretly hiding, or even fighting for money, they would also be forsaken by God! Become an Disqualifier! ”

"Yes! Venerable Prophet! Heidler was overjoyed and bowed his head and exited the hall. Then, in a frenzy, Heideler ran to his temporary settlement in Oswell. But he was still a step too late, the mansion was breached, the few remaining defenders scattered and fled, and the multi-storey mansion, which was firmly enclosed, had already ignited flames.

"Damn! Is it still a step too late?! No, maybe there's hope! With his arms outstretched and thin beetle-like wings growing from his back, Heidler began to fly off the ground and sprint towards the mansion at a rapid pace.

Oswell grabbed his shoulders and ran towards the mansion. The defense line held out for five days, and finally collapsed. The first two days were fine, and there were other city guards in the city resisting, but on the third day, the only people in the city who were still ringing gunshots were the Junying and the City Lord's Mansion. A large number of infected people gathered and constantly swept through the mansions in the city, dragging out survivors one by one, who were either infected or torn apart by desperate resistance.

Osville, with the help of nearly 200 cronies and a garrison of the city guards, resisted for three days. But after all, it only delayed their defeat, and if it weren't for the fact that there were still two hard bones to gnaw on, and they didn't send too many infected people to attack, I am afraid they would not be able to hold out for even a day. It's just that in the end, their ending is still the same, and they can't escape the result of defeat after all.

Osville came to the front of the house, and looked at the mansion with billowing smoke and a little tongue of fire, and was about to run in, when his wife, Suvina, ran to him with her two children.

"Master~! Master~! You're finally here~! Suvina grabbed Oswell's arms and pulled him so hard that she almost screamed at him.

Holding back the pain, Osville comforted Suvina and persuaded him with good words: "Okay, it's okay, I'm here, I'll leave it to me next, okay?" By the way, why is it just you? What about Oveloa and Oz? ”

Oswell looked around, but did not see his sister and youngest son, and was extremely nervous, and could not help but stare at his wife with a very frightening gaze, which frightened his other two children to shrink behind their mother.

"Luoya didn't come down! Master! Suvina cried loudly: "She just said that she was going to find Oz and asked me to come down first with the child, but I waited so long, she didn't come down, and the house was still on fire... ”
