Inside the palace, there is now chaos.

Hundreds of strange figures scattered around, slaughtering every creature they could come across. No matter whether they are good or evil, whether they are high or low, as long as they can't escape in time, they are all under their attack, accompanied by a miserable cry, and turned into a dried corpse.

With each bit of flesh they devoured, the creatures became more alive and moved more agilely. Later, their movements were no different from those of ordinary people, they could walk, run, jump, and even let out a low roar.

The roar of a beast.

The palace guards attacked them in panic and rage, but to no avail. Neither a powerful crossbow bolt capable of piercing armor nor a heavy battle axe capable of slashing an ox on the spot can do any damage to them. Their attacks are unstoppable, and even the strongest armor is no more useful to them than thin pajamas.

Many of the soldiers who saw them attacking realized this, and they took off their armor to make themselves more agile. This greatly increased their chances of survival, but also made the situation in the palace even more chaotic.

However, the strange thing is that even though the palace was already full of shouting, running, and all kinds of chaotic sounds, the outside of the palace was still quiet, and there was not a single sound heard inside.

If it weren't for the corpses lying in the square in front of the palace, no one would even know that an accident had happened here.

"What are you going to do? Do you want to rush in?" Harley asked, playing with his heavy, sharp knife like a toy in his hands, nonchalantly, "I bet there's something wrong inside, big problem!"

Iroh frowned as he stared at the palace, which seemed to be quiet, as if nothing had happened.

The five-colored light in his eyes flowed, like fireworks constantly twinkling in the festive night sky.

After a while, the light in his eyes dissipated and he returned to his normal blue color. Then he said, "There is indeed something wrong inside, and evil is spreading...... But compared to the evil qi in the direction of the bell tower, those pervasive evil qi are not worth mentioning at all. What kind of world is this? I don't have any impression of it......."

"It doesn't matter what the world is, what matters is that we're here now. "More importantly, what do we do?"

Iloh smiled, "What else can we do? When the evil spirit is pervasive, we have only one choice. ”

Harley couldn't help but laugh, "That's right! Actually, I like this kind of plot too...... Heroes and sages defeat demons and then take over the throne to rule the country, which is the most traditional adventure RPG story. The overly realistic plot of the hero launching a rebellion to seize the throne is a street hit no matter how you look at it. ”

The two immediately agreed.

Then, without hesitation, they kicked open the doors of several official residences near the palace, and with their fists and wands, they physically unified their opinions with the soldiers and officials on duty at the residence, and arranged for the militia to guard the place.

"Whoever comes, let them not come near the king's house. Iloh said solemnly.

"What if someone wants to break in?" asked the young and energetic militia leader of the village's original cattle herder.

"I grant you the right to fire freely. Iloh replied.

Harley put it more bluntly: "If anyone wants to break in, shoot them immediately without warning! This is for the safety of the public! Before we come out, make sure that no one runs in to feed the evil spirits." ”

"Such as ...... What if an evil spirit comes?" asked the village chief's son, another militia squad leader, nervously.

Iroh and Harley looked at each other and smiled.

"Then let them in. ”

"One sheep is also driven, two sheep are also herded, I don't care about cutting more. ”

After saying that, the two walked side by side to the palace.

At this time, near the palace bedroom, there was a panic. The pale face of the king in his pajamas stood beside the captain of the guard, the chief knight, and the minister of the interior or chief of intelligence, the supreme rulers of these kingdoms fidgeting and waiting for news from the front.

In the room behind them, the queen and the princes and princesses were hurrying to change their clothes for mobility.

Soon, bad news came.

"We couldn't stop those monsters!"

"They're coming in the direction of the dormitory!"

The king took a deep breath and calmed down.

Tonight, he's gotten too much bad news, he's used to it.

"It seems that the last resort is the only option. He said, "Let's go, let's go to the bell tower." ”

The white-haired old guard persuaded: "Your Majesty, let's go out of the palace through the back door!

The king shook his head: "They can break through the gates of the palace, just as they can break through the back doors." Let alone...... Who knows if they're going to have an ambush at the back door?"

"If it's a rebel or something, as long as it's a human army, I'll choose to retreat through the back door. But in the face of demons and the like, human common sense is useless. He said in a deep voice, "My ancestors left a testament that if an evil spirit breaks into the palace in the future, when there is really nothing to be done, you can hide in the bell tower." As long as you don't step into the bell tower, the legacy of the ancestors must be justified. ”

"But ......"

"Don't persuade me, I've made up my mind!" the king waved his hand, "now is not the time to discuss slowly, let's go, we have to hurry!"

Soon, the group hurried out of the dormitory and ran towards the bell tower, the tallest building in the palace.

As the king retreated, so did the guards who were fighting in front. They had wanted to retreat for a long time, but they had to hold on because there was no order to allow them to retreat.

In fact...... Seriously, their "fighting" doesn't make much sense. Because the evil spirits, who are like ordinary people in pajamas, ignore them, and their attacks are useless against those evil spirits. Rather than defending, they were using their bodies as food to slow down the demons' attacks.

Such a battle would naturally seriously dampen morale, even the Iron Heroes would not be able to bear it, let alone these palace guards.

The last straw that broke the camel's back was the cry of a nearby palace.

The demons easily passed through the walls and broke into the hiding places of many of the palace maidens.

When they realized that not even the walls could stop the evil spirits, the morale of the palace guards finally collapsed completely. I don't know who started it, but the guards, who were still trying to maintain the battle line, suddenly collapsed completely. In just a dozen seconds, almost everyone threw away their weapons, screamed, cried, turned and ran.

The "battle" that could barely be maintained turned into a simple escape and massacre in the blink of an eye.
