Chapter 229: Everyone's War
When the trumpet sounded on the city wall, all the soldiers of the entire Greylion King received orders from their commanders. The complex war machine spun amidst this noisy roar. The residents of the city, though a little alarmed by the sudden alarm, followed the orders of the army and returned home. Those who are well-informed have already faintly sensed the problem in the number of people entering the city in recent days.
One-eyed is such a person. As an existence that holds the underground information of the royal capital and even most of the Blue Lion Kingdom, she has sensed a fact from the various reports and transaction records from her subordinates with her ruthless instincts, that is, the offensive of the nezumi has broken through the encirclement announced by the kingdom. But it didn't take long for her to come to this conclusion, and One-Eye wasn't very confident in her own reasoning, so she only told the person she trusted the most, Ameya, about this conjecture.
Regarding the relationship between these two people, it is not possible to say it clearly in one sentence or two. To put it simply, their current relationship is that of a couple, or a lover. In short, Aemia did use spells to detect distant defenses after being alerted by One-Eye, but the witch found herself unable to see what was going on there. However, this did not prevent her from conveying the matter to Cheese again.
"There are a lot of nezumi in the north, and it looks like they want to attack the city. The ghoul patriarch received the news of the nezumi appearance from his kindred's special contact methods, and his already numb face stiffened even more when he announced the bad news.
Everyone in the room who heard the news for the first time gasped. However, they were not more worried about whether the nezumi would break through the walls of the royal capital, and with the city's garrison, the nezumi could not do this. What really makes them feel chills in their backs is this point in time. Everyone knew that the gray-robed mage was leading his squad into the Apothecary Guild at this time, and the nezumi army was attacking at this point in time, which had to be interesting.
Fortunately, as the leader of these dark dwellers, Aemia was not frightened by this incident. She clapped her hands lightly, signaling everyone to be quiet and focused, and the calm expression on the witch's face reassured everyone present. After making sure that everyone, including Rain, was already looking at her, Amia spoke.
"Don't worry, you're ready. Those guys aren't going to get what they want. "Those guys in the witch's mouth are naturally not referring to the rat people, but to the guys who drove them to attack the royal capital," and that's why I need you. Those rat people outside the city walls, I believe that mortals can solve them on their own. As for the rest of the things that lurk in the city, they are the ones we sweep away. ”
"Shadow against shadows? What an interesting plan you have with the wizard. It seems that our mission today is to clean the city of diseases. Hill chuckled and said. It didn't take much more explanation from Aemia for the representatives of the various dark races to understand what the witch meant.
"Exactly. I think most of the city's residents should have evacuated by now, and this is the time for you to make a difference. The witch smiled slightly.
"I have a question. Edward spoke.
"What about those who have taken the potion of the plague?" As the head of a ghoul family, even at times like these, he is obliged to get more food for his people. And those ordinary people who have purchased the Plague Seed on the One-Eyed List will undoubtedly be the best targets in this cleanup. After all, if the enemy activates the virus on them at this time, the situation in the city will change in an instant.
In fact, Cheese and Emia started to solve this problem very early, and they successfully completed the solution before this raid, or rather, it is precisely because of their ability to deal with these patients who may mutate into nezumi at any time that the mage planned this attack on the Apothecary Association.
"I don't think you have to worry about that. Those patients have already been cured. Emia said with a smile on her face. At the same time, in order to confirm the witch's words, Ciel's voice came from under the mask.
Although it is strange for me to say this. But in the name of the healer, we have cured all the patients in this city with the medicine you provided. ”
The ghoul patriarch nodded and didn't speak again. Although he and his people had less food as a result, the result was acceptable to him compared to the risk of hunting down the incomed. But then, he heard a message from his people.
"There are water spirits in the docks, and those guys seem to want to open the floodgates on the walls and let the ratherders in. ”
"Can you and your people take care of them?" asked Aemia.
"Of course. Docklands and nobles, leave it to us. Patriarch Edward understood what the witch meant, and he bowed a little, and left the room.
As the ghouls departed, the rest of the people present understood their place and that of their people in the war.
"We will assist in the defense of slums and commercial areas. Ciel said, turning and walking out.
"Wraiths can't move in the sun. But we will be watchers and messengers in the shadows. Your orders will be communicated to every shadow on the battlefield. The white-robed old man also said. The body turned into a hazy mist of light and vanished.
"We'll clean up the battlefield!, I thought the city should be redecorated for a while!" shouted Lightning as he jumped over Roland's shoulder.
As for the batmen hanging upside down from the beams, their racial nature means that they cannot fight during the day, and they cannot transfer themselves in the shadows like the wraiths. Therefore, after the other representatives left the scene or finished speaking, the patriarch said in a sullen voice.
"When night falls, the Batman becomes their nightmare. ”
After hearing the words of these representatives, the witch set her eyes on One-Eye's body.
"I'll do my best to make sure there are no civilians on the battlefield. And those aristocratic lords, I can't help it. ”
Emia nodded in satisfaction, and she took a stone from her bosom and handed it to Roland, who was beside her.
"Mr. Roland, this stone will give you access to the wraiths, and they will pass on your opinion to everyone. ”
The old man was stunned as a result of this magic stone equivalent to command, and his brows furrowed.
"I think it's better for you to take command yourself, ma'am. ”
The witch only shook her head, and she replied in a very soft voice.
"No, just now, I received a message from Mr. Cheese. Jason betrayed us, and the people who instigated his betrayal must be dealt with by me. ”
