25. Into town

Together with Kite, Roadtown infiltrates the ruined city.

Hubert followed behind Lucheng with his soldiers and Princess Elena.

The city was larger than Lucheng had imagined, and at least the walls were not mound mounds, but made of a stone material.

According to General Hubert, the abundant mineral veins around the city have brought it a prosperous economy, plus there is a large river called Green Leaf in the middle of the city.

The river can be said to be the trade bloodline of the whole of Scalé, and the whole river connects a whole four countries from upstream to downstream.

So in the past, the city of Radix was arguably one of the most prosperous cities in Scalé.

But what was once a thriving mining city is now a place of ruins and dead bodies.

Lucheng stepped over the crumbling walls and stepped into the city, most of the buildings had been reduced to rubble by the impact of the Blood Crystal.

Beneath the rocks were crushed the property that the inhabitants had not had time to take away and the corpses that had begun to decompose.

A crow-like bird has taken over the city, a scavenging bird, and the city has become their cafeteria.

Lucheng walked through the ruins on the mud ground, and many traces of people could be seen in these ruins.

For the kingdom of Scarlet, the current situation is close to the end of the world, and in this case, scavengers are definitely indispensable, as well as marauders.

Lucheng didn't find any refugees living in the city, but... I heard someone shouting.

The sound was very vague, and Lu Cheng stepped on the ruins of a house to a high place, and lay on the ruins... He took out his binoculars and looked at the leafy river in the middle of the city.

"What are you looking at?"

The princess Elena also climbed the ruins of the building and lay down on her stomach, whispering to Lucheng.

Kites and General Hubert's soldiers were still on guard beneath the ruins.

"There's a ship." Lu Cheng saw in his telescope that there was a wooden boat docked at the harbor of the Green Leaf River.

"Boats? I can see... That flag seems to be the flag of our royal family. Elena narrowed her eyes and looked at the leafy river in the distance.

It was so far from the harbor of the Green Leaf River that Elena could barely make out the mark of a four black eagles on the banner as she lay on the ruins.

"Take it, look at it with this... There seems to be a group of people in the harbor. Lu Cheng handed the telescope in his hand to Elena.

Elena took the telescope from Lu Cheng's hand, took it in her hand and gestured for it, and attached one side of the telescope to her eyes after learning how Lu Cheng had used it before.

"Why do I feel like people are getting farther and farther away?" Elena asked suddenly.

Lu Cheng glanced sideways at the princess, reached out and snatched the telescope she was holding, flipped it over, and personally helped Elena 'load' it.

"Suddenly closer, is this a magic item with Hawkeye or something like it attached?" Elena asked.

"It's not a magic prop, make sure who those are."

Lu Cheng directly used the scope on his rifle to observe the crowd gathered at the port in the distance, all of them were soldiers in armor, and some of them were ragged refugees.

"It's a soldier of our country."

Through the binoculars, Elena could see clearly the attire of the group of people standing by the harbor, the armor of this group of soldiers was very fine, and it was already at the level of the First Rank Knights.

"It's still the royal family's personal guard, is my father here?" Elena adjusted her perspective to look at the ships docked next to the harbor, and she finally found a familiar figure, "Brother Canther!" He... Still alive? ”

"That's your brother's army?"

Lu Cheng also found the figure of the suspected commander of the port army in the distance, it was a tall man... She has the same black hair and red eyes as Elena.

"My eldest brother, Kanther, was supposed to have died in the war against the Bloodcrystal Beast half a year ago, and I attended his funeral." Elena returned the binoculars to Lu Cheng, "He looks like he's helping a refugee, we should go talk to him." ”

After Elena finished speaking, she climbed straight down the ruins, and Lu Cheng jumped from the ruins with her.

"Is it the enemy?" Kite immediately stepped forward and asked.

"It could be an enemy or an ally, depending on their decisiveness."

Lu Cheng looked at the princess Elena, who was communicating with General Hubert, and finally made the decision to go to the harbor to meet the brother who had deceived the corpse.

They didn't say anything about their decision, just made the decision to 'follow your actions, but not to show your face in front of that group'.

This is also done out of an abundance of caution.

So under the leadership of General Hubert, Lu Cheng followed them to the city's port.

The location is not too far... In less than ten minutes, Lu Cheng heard shouts from the port.

"Civilians of Radiant City! Prince Kanther is here to save you! Don't hide anymore! Gather here at the port... Prince Kanther will take you out of this dangerous place! ”

It was the shouts of a soldier, and his shouting never stopped, as if it was meant to be heard by the survivors of the entire city.

This move looked very stupid in Lu City, but there didn't seem to be a Blood Crystal Beast in this city, which is why he could shout for so long.

Lu Cheng and Kite glanced at each other, observing the collapsed buildings around them.

"We're here watching you... Rest assured, we will provide you with some assistance if necessary. ”

Lu Cheng stopped and did not intend to continue into the harbor, and at the same time patted the rifle in his hand and said to General Hubert.

"You don't need to be so vigilant." Although General Hubert said this, he did not stop the city, and continued to walk towards the port with Elena and the two soldiers.

Kite and Roadtown found a building that could be used as a vantage point and climbed up, which was supposed to be a lighthouse or lookout.

When Lu Cheng climbed up here, he could see the whole picture of the harbor, and if he concentrated, he could hear what the people below were saying.

Elena on the ground also came to the edge of the port, and the soldiers stationed at the port immediately made a defensive gesture when they saw Elena's appearance.

They realized their faux pas at the sight of General Hubert, and immediately straightened their backs with their spears.

"Take me to your commander." Hubert ordered one of the soldiers.

"General, please come with me." The soldier immediately led General Hubert towards the port where the ships were docked.

There was already a long queue at the port, and there were no shortage of refugees hiding in Huiri City, whether the soldier's shouts were true or not, they just wanted to escape from this terrible place.

General Hubert also saw the ship's owner at the dock, the Grand Prince Kanther, who was supposed to have died half a year ago.
