Chapter 18: The Sorrow of Panicia

Lying on the ground, there was blood gushing out of Lane's mouth and nostrils, and the orc soldiers were extremely heavy, and I was afraid that several bones in Lane's chest were broken. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The crowd of onlookers gradually moved closer, and some civilians who knew Ryan quietly handed Hannah a few pieces of white cloth to bandage Ryan.

Delith crouched down, reaching out to check on Ryan's injuries. However, the weakened Ryan raised his hands with all his strength to block Delis's kindness.

"Cough, cough, cough," Ryan coughed out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably: "No, I don't dare to bother you, Your Royal Highness Princess!"

"Princess?"

Although Ryan's voice was not loud, Hannah beside Ryan and the civilians around Ryan heard Ryan's words clearly.

The civilians quickly whispered to each other, and the eyes that looked at Delis became strange.

Ryan's child must have been frightened, his shoulders shrugged, and he was still sobbing. Delicatese reached out lovingly and touched the top of his head, leaning down to help him wipe the tears from his face.

Hannah jumped nervously, grabbed the child with one hand, pushed him behind him and hugged him tightly, and looked at Delis with alarm and hostility in his eyes.

Old Lawrence and Gardo stepped forward silently, supported Ryan from left to right, and silently distanced themselves from Delis.

A shrill voice suddenly rang out in the crowd: "You nobles of Lantis! Blame you! If you don't launch an invasion of Camero, we won't be occupied by Locamia!"

Immediately afterward, a shrill shouting and scolding suddenly sounded in the crowd, and the voice was hoarse.

"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how would you attract these orc soldiers!"

"Damn the Frankish Emperor, his ambition has made us miserable!"

"I hate you!" Hannah shouted at Delis with the civilians, and her face turned red with anger and disgust, and her originally upright face became hideous because of the hoarse screams, and she was as weak and pitiful as she had just been.

Delis was completely stunned by the sudden scolding, and her face was pale and overwhelmed.

"What did I do wrong?"

She looked at the angry crowd in disbelief, wondering why she was in such a state of anger.

Are these really the Lantis civilians who helped him escape all the way when he pulled out of the palace?

Why? How can this be?

Before coming to Panicia, Delis thought that all the civilians were just like herself, full of hatred for Locamia. I thought that they were the same as themselves, and they still buried their nostalgia for the Landis Empire deep in their hearts.

While on the run, Delis thought more than once about the scene of her return to Panicia City and the crowd of responders. Delis has always felt that these are the loyal people of her father, and it is they who make themselves feel guilty, and they should do everything in their power to lead them to rebuild the Landis Empire, even at the cost of their lives.

However, everything seems to be wrong!

The anger and scolding of the civilians one after another, "bang" hit Delisi's heart, and a loud bang shattered the last hope in Delisy's heart, and Delisi even heard the click of her own heart shattering.

The civilians, who had been extremely cowardly in front of the brutal orcs just now, were all fighting high when they denounced Delis, and the gray-haired old men and thin women all vented their dissatisfaction with the Landis Empire, the Frankish Emperor, and all the nobles in very ugly words at Delith.

Gardo and Old Lawrence dodged their gazes, not daring to make eye contact with Delis, and although they did not speak, their indifference showed that their thoughts were in line with those of the civilians. They didn't dare to join the attack on Delis, fearing Hagens's viper-like warnings.

"Bold, what do you want to do?"

Douglas furiously blocked Delis. Relos frowned as well, his eyes sweeping across the crowd with a razor-like gaze, and he removed the broadsword from his back.

The majesty of the enraged archmage was on full display at this moment. The cheerful fire elemental spirits quickly gathered around him, and the air around them immediately became hot.

The charred corpses of the orc soldiers on the ground were still warm, and the civilians were so frightened that they immediately shut their mouths, it was obviously not wise to continue to provoke the old magician, maybe the next moment, there would be a fireball in the crowd about to burst out.

"Your Highness, don't pay attention to these untouchables, don't we still have the support of the nobles? ”

Douglas patted Delis on the shoulder and comforted her softly.

Delis nodded silently, no longer looking at the civilians who were still in turmoil, and came back to her senses, ready to turn away in despair.

Carrying a broad-bladed sword, Relos sneered lightly at the crowd of civilians: "After losing the motherland, you can still live with such grievances!"

"I really admire you!"

The casual tone is always so lazy.

Relos's faint words were like a thorn, piercing deep into everyone's heart. Some lowered their heads guiltily, some looked away evasively, no one dared to have the slightest disrespect for Relos, and with a single raise of his hand, he killed dozens of orc soldiers, this young man's temper didn't seem to be as good as his tone.

Delis's heart suddenly warmed, and she glanced at Relos gratefully, and her eyes returned to a hint of light.

"Don't thank me, who made me a mercenary hired by you? Of course, I have to quarrel and scold the enemy together!"

Relos sighed faintly and looked up at the sky of Panicia City, where several huge horned eagles hovered freely.

"Actually, I'm also a person who no longer has a motherland!"

A feeling surged through Relos's heart.

The sound of dull footsteps from far and near, mixed with the sound of messy horses' hooves, drew everyone's attention. In the distance, you can see groups of heavily armed Lokamiya soldiers running neatly and forcing forward, and in the hands of the standard-bearers on horseback, the golden bauhinia banner of Lokamia is flying in the wind.

The army of Lokamia!

The civilians began to flee in panic and scream, and the crowded streets were chaotic for a while.

"It's really fast!"

Relos was very surprised, it seems that the city defense force of Panicia City is very efficient.

However, the two agile voices and shadows that flew in front of the army immediately surprised Relos, and it turned out to be Gui'er and Lola.

"Ray, we have been betrayed, and the army has surrounded the hotel! Lola and I are afraid that you will not know the news, so we will come to inform you as soon as we escape. ”

Relos's gaze instantly turned to Delis and Douglas.

"Burns?"

Douglas blurted out!

Duke Burns was the only one who knew that the princess had infiltrated the city of Panicia, and he was the only one who could mobilize so many troops so quickly to encircle and suppress it.

Delis's face turned pale, her body trembled slightly, she bit her lips tightly, and said a few words with great difficulty: "I, I don't believe it." ”

"I don't believe the old duke is such a person!"

Douglas's voice was tired and old, but still resolute.

Among the troops that appeared in Lokamia, the leader of the team was a tall middle-aged human, with golden curly hair, a delicate beard on his lips and chin, wearing silver armor, and the spear in his hand pointed straight at Delis: "Fence me up, I can't let go of any of them!"

"Is it Mirande?"

Douglas immediately recognized the commander as Burns' son, Mirande, who was currently serving as the city defense officer of Panicia City.

"Where's Burns? Where is he? I want to see him!"

The old magician's beard trembled with rage, and he waved his magic wand and shouted at Miander from afar.

"Oh, it's Lord Douglas!"

Milad took his gun and sneered at the Great Magician from afar.

"That old fellow has forced me to raise an army to betray Lokamia, to take a dead end that I have no chance, and I have imprisoned him. It's incorrigible that the stubborn old antique still fantasizes about returning to the old Landis!"

"What?"

Delis and Douglas looked at Mirande in disbelief, with a look of anger, they couldn't imagine that Mirand's greed for power had reached such a point of madness that he even imprisoned his own father!

"Leaves always grow towards sunny places, and age dulls people's minds. When my father is old, he will be bewitched by you. ”

Mirande touched the delicate beard at the corner of his lips, and looked at Delis with a sneer: "When I catch you and send you to the royal capital of Kashmir, how can this small city of Panisia tolerate me, Mirand?"

"Archer, prepare!"

"Infantry, advance, prepare to attack!"

Milander's eyes shone with greed, and he shouted orders to the soldiers. The city defense army was in sight, and it was estimated that there were at least several hundred people.

"Your Excellency, Mistress Mirande!"

A cavalryman, chanting Miander's name, galloped from afar, stopped his horse, leaned into Miander's ear, and whispered a few words.

"What?"

Miranda shouted angrily, his eyes round like brass bells glaring at the visitor.

"My lord, that's exactly what happened!"

The cavalry who reported the news did not dare to look directly at him with his furious gaze, and bowed his head in reply.

Miranda clenched the spear in his hand, and the green tendons on the back of his hand bulged out like earthworms, and pointed the tip of the spear at Delis: "For you! For you traitors, my father actually ended his life for you!"

Did Burns commit suicide?

Delis and Douglas glanced at each other, and their eyes showed deep regret, it seemed that the old duke was indeed to blame, all of this was obviously just Mirand's idea.

Burns couldn't stop Mirand's insistence and proved his innocence with his death, and perhaps, this was also the old duke's relief.

Facing the city defense army that was waiting for her, at this moment, for the first time, Delis felt that the city of Panicia was so unfamiliar. Originally, this was the source of warmth in her heart, with her beloved father, the familiar palace where she grew up, and the wide streets and gardens. Even when she escaped from the palace and began to flee, the help of the commoners was so warm. Every cold, lonely night on the way to escape, she misses the city.

However, the city is becoming so strange at the moment, as cold as ice.

"Kill! Kill all but the princess!"

Enraged, Mirande took all of his father's suicide out of anger on the enemy in front of him, and gave the order to attack with red eyes.
