Leaving the Alliance's domain, Vina tried to contact her home planet countless times, but received no response, which made her even more convinced that the enemy was really not bluffing. The road was very peaceful, and there was no enemy attack.

A few days later, the two finally returned to their long-lost home, but the sight before them made Vina even more uneasy.

The quantum defense force field that shrouded Hanina was gone......

And even at such a close distance, Vina still can't contact the garrison, and she doesn't know what the situation of Hanina's system is now.

Although Vina was anxious, Auston insisted on not landing directly at the palace parking lot with great fanfare, but chose a hidden place to land slowly with his knowledge of the planet Hanina.

The door of the aircraft ship opened, and Auston was the first to come out, and looked at the surrounding environment, surrounded by dense forests, Vina then walked out, Auston slapped the ship, and the aircraft turned into a meteor and drilled into his wrist.

"Your Majesty, this is the northwest of the kingdom, and there is a military garrison near here, and we need to walk about three kilometers further."

"Okay." Vena replied absentmindedly.

Having returned to their home planet safely, if the situation is optimistic and Hanina has not been attacked by the Alliance, their first priority is to contact the garrison as soon as possible.

If it's already the worst...... Auston glanced at Vina beside her, no matter what, even if she died, she would protect His Majesty the King, she was Hanina's only hope.

The two of them walked cautiously all the way, a distance of three kilometers for a full hour, and when they arrived at the military station in the middle of the predetermined route, Auston clenched his fists, and sure enough, the alliance had already moved. The military garrison looked to have been suppressed, and there were traces of battle everywhere, and now there were layers of enemy soldiers surrounding the garrison.

The two of them hid in a bush and looked out through the gap between the leaves.

"General Auston." A trace of sadness crossed Vina's eyes, the truth was already in front of her, she hated her naivety, naively believed in these so-called allies, thought that they were partners who could be trusted to fight side by side, but now these former partners were driving her to a dead end with a gun. The smiling and kind faces that I once remembered also became evil and distorted at this moment.

Auston and Vina stared at the front, and after the two learned about the situation here, they quietly retreated, not daring to breathe, for fear that they would be discovered if they were not careful.

I found a relatively hidden place to discuss countermeasures.

"General, if this place has been captured, then the palace that is close at hand may be more than lucky." Vina was anxious.

Auston pondered for a moment and said: "It can't be concluded too early, it's not been a few days before the alliance launched a war, and they broke through the outer defense of the home planet so quickly, I think they should have deceived Nalal with the identity of an ally, she is your playmate since childhood, and she is also the most powerful guard captain of our Hanina, even if she loses the first hand, she will not let the enemy occupy the palace so easily." ”

Vina nodded, a pretty figure in her mind... That's right, Nalal wouldn't have succumbed so easily.

"For the sake of today, we can only make plans if we arrive at the palace first." Auston said slowly.

The two discussed for a while, and after making a plan, they waited for it to get late.

The two of them have been on the run for the past few days, and it can be said that they are physically and mentally exhausted, but at this time, both of them have a solemn look on their faces, and they are not a little sleepy. When the faint light of the moon sprinkled down, the two figures shuttled through the night sky, seeing that the periphery of the palace was close in front of him, and the periphery of the towering city wall did not see the enemy, Vena was about to step forward with joy, Auston suddenly pulled Vena, the two stuck to the corner, Auston made a silent gesture towards Vena, Vina looked up, and a black patrol plane took advantage of the night to fly silently into the distance......

Both of them did not look very good, if the enemy fighter plane could take off so blatantly over the palace, then it could only mean that the palace's defense system had been turned off.

"Your Majesty, it will be more and more dangerous to move forward......"

Before Auston could finish speaking, the tactical communication bracelet on Vena's wrist suddenly flashed red.

There is a communication signal access!

Vina and Auston glanced at each other, this is the internal contact signal of Hanina's military, this frequency band is encrypted, although the probability of being invaded by the enemy is very small, but once received, there is still a possibility of exposure.

Alston tapped on his communicator, and a curtain of light lit up in the darkness.

"I'll explore where the signal source is first to make sure it's not an enemy trap." Auston took Vena's bracelet and moved it left and right on the light curtain, and as the position changed, there was a chaotic electronic noise on the communicator. When Auston found the spot where the signal was strongest, they both looked up in that direction at the same time.

"Strange, this direction is outside the palace...... Could it be that the palace has been lost, and Nalal has already led the guards to withdraw? Alston was puzzled for a moment, judging from the direction of the source of the signal, that direction was neither inside the palace nor other stations, could it be from the wilderness?

Vena groaned for a while, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "General! I know what's going on! There.... There's a place there that only me and Nalal know! Can't be wrong, this must be a signal from Nalal! ”

Vina couldn't help but pull Auston in the direction of the signal source, and after a while, a small stream appeared in front of the two of them.

"This is it, you can't go wrong, Nalal is not far ahead." Vina clapped her hands excitedly.

"Your Majesty, isn't it possible that we should dive?" Auston looked at the stream in front of him and said suspiciously, as an imperial general, of course he knew the terrain around the palace well, this stream was ordinary and nothing special, but it was relatively old.

"That's right!" Vina stuck out her tongue mischievously, a rare girlish gesture that made Auston laugh.

The two of them went around to a place where the water was slow, and one of them plunged down, swam forward for twenty or thirty meters, and a hole appeared in the weeds! Vina waved her hand and motioned for Auston to follow.

Walking along the dark cave, the two carefully stepped on the slippery and muddy path, and after a while, they came to the end, and a stone gate appeared at the end of the cave. Auston had an excellent sense of direction, and vaguely felt that this direction was somewhat familiar, he opened the holographic map on his wrist, and his eyes widened after a glance!

This...... This is already the periphery of the Imperial Tomb! I didn't expect there to be such a hidden path behind the solemn imperial tomb.

"I found this place when I was a kid and Nalal sneaked out to play, I remember that neither of us could swim at that time, and when I was playing by this creek, I accidentally fell into the water, drifted farther and farther down the stream, choked on several mouthfuls of water, Nalal ran after me on the shore, crying in a hurry, and finally the stupid girl ran away with her shoes, and she cried and jumped down when she couldn't catch up......" Vina stroked the stone door and said slowly.

As soon as Vena mentioned Auston, she remembered that there was indeed such a story, that Vena, who was still a little girl at the time, had sneaked out of the palace, and the escorts searched for dozens of miles without finding them, and finally found the shoes of Nalal, who was the princess's maid, by a stream...... Emperor Grey thought that something had happened to Vina, and in a fit of rage, he ordered the stream to be dug up, but at that moment, the two mud-stained and tattered children returned to the palace on their own.

"We've both been washed up in this hole, it's impossible to go back, we'll be dead if we can't open this door, remember we had a lot of trouble trying to open it—" Vena laughed out loud as she said this, as if she remembered something funny.

"Behind this gate leads directly to the material warehouse under the city walls." Vina continued, Auston realized that there was such a secret passage for escape under Hanina's palace, which was deliberately built for refuge when building the palace, but the Edra royal family was full of talents, and there was never a need to abandon the city and flee when the enemy soldiers approached the city, and this secret passage was slowly forgotten after a long time.

"Uncle Auston, I'm sure Nalal must have led the rest of his troops here, and no one except the two of us knew that the entrance was hidden under the stream, and the enemy wouldn't be able to find it even if they intercepted the signal."

After Vina finished speaking, she pushed open the stone gate that had made the two children work hard to open a crack, and the road behind the stone gate was obviously artificially repaired, although it was old, it was much easier to walk than outside. The communicator in Auston's hand showed that the source of the signal was indeed in the depths of the passage, and his personal shield and sword had been damaged, so he could only find a random wooden stick on the ground to protect Vina and lead the way.

After walking for a while, there was a fork in the road ahead.
