The atmosphere in the room was depressing, and they understood what it meant for Princess Sophia to fall into the hands of the rebels.

The situation cannot continue to deteriorate.

That was the only thought on Canor's mind, even though he knew that nothing could be undone from this decision, that the royal family would not forgive them, and that the soldiers returning from the front would not tolerate such behavior. The others in the room also saw this, and one objected, "No, we can't bring the princess here." ”

"It's too dangerous!"

At this moment, Princess Sophia is like a time bomb, once the soldiers in the city find out about this, they don't even have a chance to escape.

"Escorting the princess back to the royal city will be your only chance. Canor pondered for a long time before he spoke.

"Escort the princess back?Canor, you're the one who has lost your mind!" said a strong man's voice an octave, which even broke out of excitement. He was the last to return from the imperial capital, and he had witnessed the atrocities of the soldiers in the city, and he even felt that these crazy soldiers were essentially the same as the iron horsemen of the Byron Empire.

Burning, killing, and plundering, as long as he can think of crimes, are now being staged in the imperial capital.

And that's not all.

The slaughter of unarmed nobles in front of the royal city has exceeded the bottom line of war, and this kind of atrocity makes even their "friendly soldiers" a little worried when they look at it.

In this case, sending the princess back to the royal city was the stupidest decision he could think of.

Leaving aside whether they would be able to hide from the eyes of the soldiers, even if they did escort Sophia to the city, it was unknown how the Henry clan would treat them as rebels. No one wanted to take such a risk in order to find an uncertain outcome, so they would rather leave the city overnight under the cover of the soldiers and pray that the Henry clan would never find them after the events subsided.

"I won't do it, Mr. Canor, I'm willing to live and die for you, but I will never use my life to protect the guys of the Henry clan!"

"That's right, she also bleeds the blood of the Henry family!"

"The Henrys are the ones who starve me for the Honeysuckle. ”

The strong man's words were quickly echoed with approval, and the people who had been terrified a second ago gritted their teeth when they talked about the Henry clan, so that Canor couldn't tell the difference between them and the soldiers who were wreaking havoc in the city.

"We want to solve the problem peacefully!" Canor's hoarse shout overpowered everyone.

But this time, people were not deterred by him.

The silence lasted only a few seconds before someone said, "Canor, there can be no peace." ”

"Will the knights of the Senate make peace with us?"

"If you want me to say, we might as well take the princess away, and use her as a bargaining chip in case we encounter the kingdom army along the way!"

"Great idea!"

Canor looked around in a daze.

The moonlight from the window allowed him to distinguish the faces of everyone, so familiar and yet so unfamiliar. This is the people he has exhausted all his assets to help, and among those who have been financed by him, many more are now scattered in various districts and join the soldiers' "carnival" without hesitation.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

Outside the door, the sound of footsteps from far and near interrupted the discussion.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

Inside the house, Ella heard footsteps similar to those at that time, from far and near, each of which made her heart beat for a moment.

"Former undead, why are you wandering here, and what kind of truth are you longing for?"

As he spoke, the long blue whip tore the door to pieces, and the flowing water made a sharp arc to Ella's throat. Melia's eyes were cold, and the weapon she wielded didn't pause for a moment, and everything fell apart as far as the whip could reach. The similar image reminded Ella of the night she saw it.

Blood splattered all over the walls, and broken arms were scattered everywhere.

"But you should know that what you are looking for is only the lie you use to paralyze yourself, because you have seen all the truth, and you are the last remnant of nine thousand years. ”

"Mr. Eric, with all due respect, why is Melia here?" asked Ramov Lancelot, who was holding a bag of toasted bread, under the giant ship of the Musa consortium, with a grim face.

Treaty VII, or Treaty VII?

In short, he clearly remembered that some names were marked in a certain treaty of the church, and the names that appeared on this list were ordered not to set foot in the imperial capital for the rest of his life.

Maranfinn.

Cervera.

These names are all true sinners who were not sent to Spiral City for various reasons, and at the end of this list, the name of Melia Belvede is prominently listed.

"I don't worry about the juniors, I'm going to finish eating, no, I'm going to take a look at the progress of your handover after recuperating from my injuries, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of unexpected gain. The church is not unheard of when you took in Melia, a stray dog, and hired her to be your personal bodyguard, but I have always thought you were a man of proportion. ”

"Don't say that, Mr. Ramov, as you know, Melia has always been the best employee of the Moussa consortium, but she has no preference for money and power, so when she asks to complete some unfinished business, it is difficult for me, as a boss, to refuse her request. ”

The smile on Eric's face gradually dissipated: "She's just trying to make up for the work that wasn't done nine years ago, not to mention the list you mentioned? Maran Funne, Sevela, they seem to be coming lately, right? I guess the Senate doesn't know about this, what will they do if they learn that the church has broken its promise? Don't be angry, Mr. Ramov, I don't mean to threaten you at all, it's just that the situation has changed, and Melia's wish is just to send that wandering undead soul to the place where it goes." ”

Wrong answer. ”

Ramov gently put the toast bag into his coat: "You have one night, and if Melia is still in the imperial capital, I will have to send her back to where she is supposed to be." ”

"Boom-"

Before Ramov could finish speaking, there was a roar from the giant ship.

"Farewell, undead. ”

Melia narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had seen Ella's head in a different place, and she could clearly feel what the whip had touched, something shattered in two under the cut of the water.

"Not right"

The next moment, a blinding glare bloomed, and she had to cover her eyes with her other hand. Rao still had a brief tinnitus in her head, and in her dizziness, she vaguely saw Ella's body swept out of the room by a sudden burst and fell straight into the water.

"Plop—"

After the sound of the water, everything fell silent.
