Chapter 8 Survival

Now, Astor and Thomas follow Tyco, walking down an abandoned sewer.

Thomas: [Why did you bring us here!] We want to go into town! ]

Tyco: [Don't talk so much nonsense, and speak quietly.] ]

Astoro: [I feel like I'm adventurous, I'm so excited!] ]

Tyco: [Here, see for yourselves.] ]

Tyco stopped at the mouth of a sewer-like well, and she gently opened a small portion of the manhole cover to let Astro and Thomas see outside.

However, Astro and Thomas were amazed at what they saw!

Because, outside, it's all special-shaped!

Thomas: [This Marseille is a human city, why are there so many aliens here?!] ]

Astoro: [Wow, Metropolis!] ]

Tyco: [There are too many grooves, I don't want to spit them all up.] ]

After Tyco had carefully closed the manhole cover, Thomas asked.

[What the hell is going on here, it doesn't look like there was a battle, what the hell is going on?!] ]

Tyco: [Two months ago, this place was attacked by aliens.] ]

[But the way it looks out there, it doesn't look like it's being attacked!] Everywhere is not damaged or rebuilt! ]

Tyco: [That's because the people in charge of guarding this place have surrendered!] ]

Astoro: [What?!] ]

Tyco: [That's right, because they all surrendered, so the aliens came in, and then they started hunting humans, except for the army and their families, the rest of the ordinary people died in the hunt, and the remaining few people had to hide in the bomb shelters 15 meters underground.] ]

Thomas: [This happened!] Damn it! ]

However, at this time, Thomas felt a powerful aura!

It's Astoro!

Astoro's eyes were full of anger, as if he wanted to rush out and make a big fuss right away.

Thomas: [Hey!] Calm down! ]

Astoro: [How do you tell me to calm down!] So many people died, so many families were destroyed! How calm do you tell me! ]

Thomas: [So what can you do when you go out now?!!] There are so many people out there, how can you and me fight alone?! If the people who are accidentally underground are discovered, then even they will be affected at that time, and in the end, all the families here will be destroyed! Do you want that?! So, this time must endure! ]

Thomas made a lot of sense, and although Astro didn't listen much, he immediately calmed down when he heard about the family.

Taiko: [I don't know why you're here, but since you're fated to do so, let's go down here and have a cup of tea with me.] ]

Then, Tyco led Thomas and Astro to a huge bomb shelter 15 meters underground.

It's about the size of a stadium with a 400-meter football field, and it's divided into several areas.

Tyco: [Because we all brought food with us when we came in, we can survive for the time being, and we usually have people sneaking up there to steal food, so it's not a problem at the moment, the question is how long can we live.] ]

At this time, Taiko led the two of them to a house that resembled his own stone construction.

[This is my home, please come in.] ]

After entering, the two of them saw that it was full of weapons, whether it was pistols, submachine guns, grenades, and bazookas, it could be said that it was an arsenal.

In the middle of the room, there was a small square table and a few small wooden chairs.

Teko: [Feel free to sit down.] Uncle, I'm back! ]

When Taiko shouted this, a middle-aged man in his 40s walked out of one of the rooms inside.

[Oh!] You're back safely, Tyco! By the way, who are these two?! ]

Astoro: [Hello!] I am a prince! ]

Thomas: [Stupid!] What to say! ]

Astoro: [Huh?!] Can't you say?! ]

Thomas: [Isn't that for sure?!] ]

[Prince?!] ]

Thomas: [Forget it, that's all for now.] He is the prince of the Battlestar, Bakir, and I am Thomas, the prince's direct lieutenant. ]

[Oh!] Then come in and sit! I'll make you tea right away. ]

As soon as he walked in, Tyco walked straight into the room. Thomas and Astro sat down at the table.

[Is there anything the prince is here for?] ]

The man asked as he boiled water.

[Oh!] I'm here to save everyone! ]

[Really?!] ]

[Huh?] Generally speaking, you should be happy to hear such a thing, right?! ]

[No, I am personally very happy because His Royal Highness the Prince has come here specifically for us.] Personally, though, there isn't much to be said about life here, and we're still self-sufficient. ]

Thomas: [Didn't you think about retaking Marseille?] Haven't you thought about reporting to the king of Xingdu? ]

[To be honest, when we were forced to hide here, we didn't have this meaning, to put it mildly, the reason why we survived here was because of the king.] ]

Thomas: [.........]

[Moreover, even if we want the king to ask for help, the Xingdu side will not be able to send many troops.] After all, even this place has fallen, and where else is it safe. In order to preserve our strength, the king will also cause us to ignore it. ]

Astoro: [No!] Definitely not! I'll help you get back home no matter what! ]

Thomas: [Stupid!] If you can't do it, don't talk nonsense! ]

Astoro: [Why!] Generally speaking, if the thief captures the king first, as long as their boss is caught, won't he be able to save the city?! ]

Thomas: [I can't believe your head could come up with such a plan!] ]

Astoro: [I'm also serious about it!] ]

[I guess, that's unlikely!] ]

Thomas: [Why do you say that?!] ]

[The people in charge here will surrender unconditionally precisely because they see the terrible strength of their leaders.] Although I heard about it, that strength could destroy the entire city. ]

Thomas: [!] ]

Astoro: [Don't worry, I have a king......]

When Astro wanted to continue, he was suddenly covered by Thomas's mouth.

[You... What's the matter... Oh! ]

[Stupid!] You can't just say what you have in your hand! ]

[……]

Thomas: [May I ask, what does it look like?!] ]

[I don't know, I've heard of it, but it seems to be something that causes some strange black substance to appear on the body.] ]

Thomas: [Could it be the power of the Dark Ring?!] ]

Astoro: [Dark Ring?!] What came from? ]

Thomas: [We're in the situation we are in because of the power of the sudden Dark Ring.] I heard that this ring, when worn on a person's body, will emerge with special power, and the power is comparable to several light cannons! This is also the reason why our king ** will keep losing. ]

[That's right!] How long are you going to stay here?! If you want to spend the night, I'll prepare a room for you right away! ]

Thomas: [No, after drinking this cup of tea, we'll go and head back to the star capital right away.] ]

[Oh!] That's it! Then let's drink tea first. ]

What is this Dark Ring, but what makes Thomas so worried and afraid.

And at this time, our protagonist is now walking in the direction of Marseille.

Ling: [Why is my appearance rate so low as the main character!] ]

Filina: [I haven't had a word of dialogue in these chapters!] ]

…………

All in all, the battle here will soon begin. And the secret of this Dark Ring will soon come to light!
