The royal capital of the lion, the home of the witches

This is a room that serves as a combat headquarters, and there is not even a chair in this room, except for the royal sand table in the center of the room. However, the people on call in this room don't seem to care.

"Grey robes, they should have entered the Apothecary Guild. The ghoul patriarch said. As a native of the royal capital, the Edwards have the most well-informed eyes and ears of all the dark dwellers, not to mention the elite ghouls who have the ability to hide their appearance, and with the various industries they have run over the years, these ghouls are enough to keep an eye on everything in the city.

It was a lot later than he had planned. Hill was still wearing the crow mask, and instead of wearing a doctor's outfit today, she was wearing a tight black outfit that was extremely inappropriate for her profession. And her long hair was also tied into a braid, casually draped over her shoulders. As for him in the Dementors' mouths, he naturally refers to cheese. The mage had a lot of plans for today's situation, and it seems that these plans were not unfounded.

"Do you need me to send someone to take a look?" the huge bat hanging upside down from the beam of the room spread its wings, revealing the tired face of a man from within. This man is none other than the leader of the Batman. His bats, as the only beings with the ability to fly among the many dark dwellers, have naturally become emergency response teams. As for why he looked so haggard, bats are nocturnal creatures after all, and unlike vampires, these humanoids with bat wings are closer to animals in their habits.

"No, it's not time yet. And I'm sure the mage can solve his troubles. Emia was dressed in a red dress and looked at the position of the Apothecary Guild on the sand table in front of her, "Compared to this, Miss Hill, have you done what I asked you to do?"

The doctor nodded slightly at the witch.

"Your will has been executed, dear lady. I can't put into words how much I admire you and Mr. Cheese's masterpiece. ”

"It's nothing, most of the work of the gray-robed mage was made of that thing, and I just helped a little bit on the side. Amia smiled, of course she knew why Hill was so excited. By the time she and Cheese had succeeded in developing it, her emotions would not have been much calmer than that of the Dementor Doctor. And hearing Hill say that the mission has been completed, then the character of the Dementors must not lie.

It was at this moment that the door to the room was opened. One-Eye and Roland walked in one after another, and by the way, Lightning at this time was lying on the mage's shoulder with a sleepy-eyed look.

"We're back. One-Eye took off the mask on her face and said, for some reason, she didn't like to wear it in front of Aemia.

"How's it going?" said the witch to the two, who had sent them out earlier.

"It's pretty much the same as you said. One-Eye walked to the sand table and pointed to the houses marked by red flags on them, "Although we have only been to these places, we have found the corpses you mentioned there, and the gods are above, which is disgusting." ”

"Judging from the setting of the altar and the corpses found at the scene, it can be determined that it is a believer in the Lord of Flesh. Roland's face was not very good, and anyone who saw the purgatory-like scene would not be too comfortable. If it weren't for the fact that he was one of the few people present who had the ability to determine the sect to which the cult priests belonged, he would not have taken the initiative to approach those madmen.

"Didn't you find a living mouth?" asked the witch to Roland.

The old man shook his head, the large hat on his head making the action particularly eye-catching.

"No, all that can be found are wreckage, which looks a lot like the failure of the summoning ritual. However, I haven't gotten much into their faith, so I'm not sure if there are any survivors. ”

"There will be no survivors. All those who participated in the summoning are dead. They failed. Yu, who had been leaning against the corner, suddenly spoke. This man has been standing in the same place in one position since he came, and that was the first thing he said today.

It stands to reason that a bard's words are usually not true, but the words of the rain are very convincing. I don't know why, but everyone present vaguely agreed with his conclusion after hearing his words, as if it was a matter of course.

"Well, anyway, that's a good thing. It's just that the soldiers who patrol the city will have nightmares tomorrow night. Patriarch Edward said.

"That's something the king should have a headache for, and it has nothing to do with us. Emia waved her hand and said, "Speaking of the king, have the wraiths found anything?"

"Sorry ma'am, haven't heard from them yet. The ghoul patriarch owes himself and says.

"I still don't think it's a wise decision to send the wraiths to the King's Castle. Before those guys get the information we want, they're going to drive the whole castle crazy. Hill said.

"If you want to infiltrate the castle, Wraith is the best choice. Besides, we don't have anyone else to figure it out. Until the cheese returns, the king must not fail. The witch frowned, and she looked at the chess pieces on the sand table that symbolized the various dark races, which were scattered throughout the royal capital to ensure that they could reach any part of the city in time. This is to prevent the mage's actions from touching the opponent's bottom line and making them jump over the wall.

"If you want me to say that we are too nervous. So far, those guys haven't really shown their faces, other than spreading the plague. The only sightings of these plague-mongers are those seen by the Grey-robed wizard in the Iron Keep. Maybe they're not that strong at all. What's more, there has been no news of the continued spread of the plague recently. The leader of the batmen said sullenly.

Patriarch Edward was about to open his mouth to warn the Batman that he was too optimistic, but before the ghoul could say anything, the whole person froze in place, and the expression on his face seemed to freeze. Not only him, but Yu, who was leaning against the corner, also opened his eyes sharply at this time.

At the same time, on the walls of the royal capital, the soldiers stationed on the lookout looked boredly at the forest in the distance of the royal capital. It was a landscape he had seen for many years, but today, he felt that the forest seemed to be a little bigger than usual, which made him rub his eyes. When he looked over again, the soldier was surprised to see that the forest had indeed expanded, but instead of green, it had become gray...... That is, the color of the nezumi fur. A large number of rat people rushed out of the forest north of the royal capital, like a tide.

"Enemy attack!" With the shouts of soldiers on the lookout, the loud horn sounded throughout the city. The originally peaceful blue lion king capital instantly boiled.
