Chapter 211: Destroyed Miria

Miria City, the brightest pearl of the world and a great city known as the center of the world, is just as vulnerable to war, and after the war of this prosperous city, all that remains is a ruin.

In the eyes of Emperor Louis X of France, the French Empire was a rebellious city that should be completely destroyed, whether it was the Continental Parliament, the temples and churches of various religions, or the parliament building of the United Kingdom.

Therefore, when the army of the Fran Empire entered the outskirts of Miria City, the Fran army directly sent ten airships loaded with special bombs to completely destroy the great city of Miria City from the air. The Crystal Palace Station, which was once like a jewel, the once magnificent religious hall, and the Continental Parliament Building, which was once regarded as a symbol of the new civilization, were all destroyed by countless bombs and turned into ruins.

Compared with these urban buildings that represent the splendor of Miria City, the civilian areas located on the edge of Miria City survived the war with few casualties, which also made the French Empire's army stationed in Miria City, these civilians had a very weak sense of resistance, and many were even willing to become Francois Empire people again.

Although the French army recruited a large number of Miria from civilian areas, especially the slums of the city of Yucheng, and incorporated them into the standing army, the French Empire did not exercise substantial control over the city, nor did it even station officials or establish administrative structures such as the Doge's Palace.

The French Empire was only a division of its own army, leading the newly recruited Miria to control the villages and urban areas around the Miria City Railway, ensuring the smooth transportation of materials and troops from the north and south, and the rest of the city had no intention of managing at all.

For a while, gangsters, careerists, spies, and some unknown dark creatures began to enter this area where there were still many people living but there was no order, and the once glorious city of Miria was completely transformed into a lawless place.

When Leo relied on the pass forged by Sylvia's men to pass through the layers of checkpoints and enter the city of Miria, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the ruins in front of him.

In the war in the universe where the Earth Federation is located, it is the fleet battle in outer space that determines the outcome of the war, and it is rare to encounter the direct use of star destroyers to bombard ground cities, and most of them are after the victory of the space station, send a special operations team like Leo down to the ground to annihilate the enemy's command staff and paralyze the enemy's command post, so as to make the enemy on the ground surrender. Ground artillery fire is used only when encountering an extremely stubborn enemy, but it is also a high-precision bombardment, the target error does not exceed one meter, and it will not cause much damage to the city.

The area of Upper Quarter Moon Lake, where Leo is located now, was originally just a villa area on the outskirts of Miria City, just because the people who live here are all powerful people in Miria City, so in addition to the center of Miria City, this is the area that the airship bomb focuses on.

There is not a single intact building in sight around the entire lake, not even intact trees, and the ground is full of craters left by bombs, and the floating earth covers the whole earth, as if someone has plowed over it.

Leo was going to go directly to Miria City, but after arriving in the Upper Quarter Moon Lake District, he thought of Nine Golden Oak Street and Silvermoon Tower, so he decided to take a detour to this side.

Although the appearance of the Lake District has completely changed due to the fighting, 9 Golden Oak Street is still the most recognizable of all the ruins of the Lake District, because only this one building was destroyed by the fire, and all the other buildings were destroyed by bombs.

As Sylvia said, the power contained in Nine Golden Oak Street had completely disappeared, and he couldn't feel any psionic fluctuations as he stood here, but for some reason he always felt that the power that could travel through the dream world couldn't just disappear completely.

So, he walked into the middle of No. 9 Golden Oak Street, which was already reduced to a few ruins.

Although the villa was destroyed by fire, the main walls of the villa were made of quarried granite, so the layout of the rooms and other structures of the building can still be judged from the location of these remaining walls.

Soon Leo walked down the familiar hallway, where the portrait of the family was supposed to be kept, and looked at the blackened wall.

"There are no psionic fluctuations, but ......" Leo muttered to himself as he gazed at the wall in front of him, and then rolled up his sleeves, looking at the patterns formed by the dream body on his body, feeling the faint resonance of the nightmare power contained in the patterns.

After returning to the world of Veron, Leo's soul and body have undergone tremendous changes, and the dream body, which is also linked to the body and soul, has also changed, and the most intuitive change is that the dream body pattern that was originally only on the body has now spread to the whole body.

The change in the Dream Body didn't hurt for the time being, at least for now, it was easier for him to use the power of the Nightmare, and he didn't need to swallow any high-energy matter, and the power of the Dream Body alone could make the Nightmare's power grow slowly over time.

And now, at the moment when he stood in front of this wall, Leo felt that his nightmare power was growing rapidly while resonating inexplicably, and if it was converted according to the value, his nightmare power had increased by at least fifty points in less than a minute after standing here.

Leo could only sense something unusual about the wall through the power of nightmares, but he couldn't feel any psionic fluctuations in it. So, he used the resonance between the homologous forces as a detector, and put his hand on the wall, feeling it carefully to see which location had the strongest resonance.

Soon he found the position he wanted, which was right in the middle of the family photo, and at this time he suddenly felt that there was an extra thing out of thin air between his palm and the wall, so he took a look and found that there was an extra black paper on his palm.

Seeing this black piece of paper, Leo immediately had a guess in his mind, the page of the night god sighing.

However, before Leo could carefully examine the bottom of the black paper, the black paper seemed to burn and turned into some ashes, and then stuck to the dream body pattern on his body.

At this time, Leo seemed to have some more things in his mind, these things included the dream body, the method of using the power of nightmares, and some chaotic information, and even he could vaguely feel the location of the dream world, just like he sensed the location of the Silver Moon Tower through the Dao Marker Orb.

Because there was no secondary brain to isolate the data poured into the brain, Leo felt a headache that he had never felt before, and the pain was so painful that he had to hold on to the wall to get his feet on.

It took a while for Leo to recover from the headache, but the after-effects of the headache still left him in a state of vertigo. However, this feeling of vertigo is still within his tolerance range, and it does not affect his ability to organize the information in his head.

Without the help of the paracerebral system, Leo took a lot of time to sort out the data, and it took him more than two hours to complete the data thoroughly.

Of the materials injected into the brain, the most explicit ones were the most useless, such as the use of the Dream Body and the Nightmare Power, which were no better than the methods Leo had figured out himself, and could only provide him with a little reference value and new ideas for use, but could not bring him any substantial benefits.

As for the chaotic content, it's like a computer's gibberish, and it's hard to understand what it's about.

The only thing of value is the orientation of the dream world, but there is a way to enter it, and it will not bring any practical benefits for the time being.

Although the knowledge derived from the Black Pages does not bring Leo anything useful, the Black Pages themselves that are integrated into the Dream Body give Leo some extraordinary values, such as his Nightmare Power instantly increased several times, and the base value of the Nightmare Power enhancement every day is also doubled.

This rapidly increasing nightmare power has surpassed Leo's psionic power, and the feelings it brings to him are extraordinary, and it also makes him want to give up psionic energy and focus on nightmare power.

It's just that this idea just flashed in Leo's mind, and he didn't take it seriously, because he knew very well that no matter how powerful the power of nightmares was, it was also an external force, and no matter how weak the spiritual energy was, it was also his own power, and once it evolved to a higher level of life mode, then the spiritual energy, which is the basic force of the universe, would inevitably shine, and it would only be stronger than the power of nightmares.

After obtaining the pages of the Night God's sigh that remained there from No. 9 Golden Oak Street, Leo also looked forward more and more to what kind of harvest the Silvermoon Tower would have, but unfortunately, the expectation was often to the left of reality, and the Silvermoon Tower could be said to have found nothing.

It was a well-known fact that the Emperor Louis X of France hated the city of Miria, and it was not only Rupert Fitz, who was now Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, that Louis X had to choose the one he hated the most among the people of the city.

As the core confidant of Louis X and the de facto administrator of West France, Rupert Fitz's betrayal can be said to be the fundamental reason why Louis X lost the entire West France region in one day, and it is also the main reason why the United Kingdom of France was successfully established and recognized by all countries in the world.

Louis X's bounty on Rupert Fitz has always been high, starting with the first bounty of 5 million gold flanges, and now the bounty has been raised to 10 million gold flanges and the title of duke on the ground, such sky-high bounties have made Rupert Fitz the highest bounty in the entire Veron world.

It's a pity that although the bounty is high, no one can complete the task, even the famous black market bounty hunter, the first foot received the task, and the second foot someone reported all the information of the person who received the task to Rupert Fitz.

And although Louis X set the bounty so high, anyone with a little bit of brains knew that even if he completed the task, Louis X might not be able to pay the bounty.

Because when Louis X was still the Duke of Devon, it was Rupert Fitz who supported all his expenses, and even the economy in his domain was dominated by Rupert.

Although Rupert Fitz betrayed him, there was still a line that did not destroy the economy of Louis X's territory, and Louis X also inherited the throne at that time, and there were enough resources to support the mess left by Rupert Fitz's betrayal.

But maintaining the status quo was already the limit of Louis X, he could not get anything out of his own territory, and the money he had on hand still needed to be invested in the army, replacing the army with better equipment, buying better weapons, etc., there was no money left.

If this time, if he hadn't managed to get his army through the Black Forest in the foggy period and successfully attacked the Miria region through some means, the economy of the French Empire would have collapsed because of his recklessness over the years.

Therefore, the bounty and promise made by Louis X were nothing more than a joke in the eyes of those who were capable of completing the assassination, and no one would want to offend a powerful and wealthy figure like Rupert Fitz for a bounty that could not be obtained.

Louis X also knew very well that his bounty could not deal with Rupert Fitz, so when he attacked the Miria area this time, he specially ordered that when attacking Miria City, he would send an airship to attack the place where Rupert Fitz was most likely to hide, and the famous Silver Moon Manor was naturally among them, and it was the most heavily bombed place.

All visible buildings on the ground in the manor had been blown up, and the dense explosion craters were densely packed in every part of the area, and more bombs had fallen here than the other villas around the Upper Quarter Moon Lake District combined.

Unfortunately, Rupert Fitz was more clever than Louis X had predicted, and when he got the French army to pass through the Black Forest, he had a premonition that the French region could not be defended, so he left a small number of subordinates who were responsible for cutting off the logistics and sorting out supplies, and relocated all the government offices of the entire United Kingdom to his base camp of Lanxi.

So, after wasting a lot of money and ammunition, Louis X ended up blowing up some buildings that Rupert Fitz saw as insignificant.

Seeing the Silver Moon Manor that was blown up like this, Leo couldn't help but sigh when his feelings became rich, but this emotion quickly disappeared, in order to avoid any mistakes and omissions, Leo walked back and forth in the manor area very carefully, and used the spirit net to probe whether there was a basement or something like space underground.

Although, in the process of searching, he did find several basements, especially a very large basement in the area where the Silvermoon Tower is located, but the things there have been emptied, and I don't know if they were emptied by Rupert Fitz, or by those scavengers in Miria City.
