Chapter 48: The Truth

The city of St. Lun after dark is very different from the city of the Raging Waves.

The citizens of Angry Waves are very willing to enjoy a period of nightlife after work, so the city will be lively for a long time at night, and some entertainment venues will be open all night.

In the past, there was a strict curfew in the city, and after 10 o'clock in the evening, ordinary citizens were no longer allowed to go out at will. Although the curfew has been relaxed, most of the residents of St. Lun, who are accustomed to going home at night, do not spend much time outside.

Lonely street lamps illuminate the quiet streets, and only a few windows of the houses on either side are still lit, and the occasional roaming night crow chirps. Suddenly, the sound of truck engines disturbed the quiet night, and the heavy wheels made a rhythmic sound against the stone pavement.

The fierce dog barked wildly.

Many citizens were woken up, and when they opened their windows and looked out, they saw military trucks speeding past with heavily armed soldiers of the city's garrison.

Something big happened!

The panicked citizens immediately closed the windows and turned off all the lights.

There was no warning, no notice was given to anyone...... Towards the wee hours of the morning, a city garrison suddenly entered the city and cordoned off some streets and urban areas.

The city security department was the first to respond, but without waiting for them to send someone to inquire, the garrison first took out the order of the eldest prince.

"General Sinclair Augustine is leading the army to cooperate with the secret intelligence bureau agents to clear out the enemy spies lurking in the imperial capital, please cooperate with the city security department!"

The City Sheriff's Department immediately deployed a sheriff to assist.

The freed city garrison concentrated their forces to complete the blockade and siege of all targets, and the outside of the house of the grain merchant Auston was surrounded by water.

Heavy war machines are at the forefront, and technical soldiers quickly assemble puppets for assault. Some mages cast buffs on soldiers preparing to attack, providing them with psychic protection, while others prepare spells for attacks.

Five airships circled in the sky, and high-powered searchlights scanned the entire building area back and forth with a column of light. Under the pod of the airship, a tow rope of several tens of meters hangs elite soldiers in gliding suits flying, and they can parachute into battle at any point within the flight range at any time.

Sinclair, who commanded the garrison, stood in front of the outer door of the building, dressed in light metal armor, wearing a general's metal military cap, and holding a beautifully forged broadsword in his hand.

Sinclair waited for his own soldiers to prepare for battle.

A soldier squeezed forward from the rear guard and whispered to Sinclair, "Your Highness, Miss Weathersky is here with five Oulu mages. ”

Sinclair said happily, "Ask Miss Sunny Sky to come over!" ”

After a while, Clear Sky arrived with five Oulu mages. With the exception of Clear Sky, who wore her characteristic battle suit, the other five Oulu mages wore magical robes and wore wide-brimmed hoods to obscure their appearance.

Sinclair immediately saluted when he saw Clear Sky: "Thank you Miss Clear Sky and the Oulu mages for their support, this will make us sacrifice less." ”

"The Abyss Temple originates from the Oulu Academy, and it is the duty of every Oulu mage to destroy the Abyss Mage. Your Highness Sinclair, are you and your soldiers ready? ”

Clear Sky said humbly, observing the current situation.

The grain merchant Auston's house was a large one, with an open meadow and garden on all sides of the main building, surrounded by an iron fence. Faced with the siege of the city guards, the people in the room did not react, they extinguished all the light sources inside, and waited for the attack.

Sinclair's army had completed preparations for the offensive.

From the clothing and equipment, you can see the class and rank of the city guards. Officers and soldiers with distinct physical features, or wearing high-grade armor, are elites with a certain amount of force.

Sinclair also looked at the army he had brought with him, and he was very pleased with the city garrison of St. Lun, which was made up of veterans of the Northern Legion.

Then I took out my pocket watch and looked at the time.

"Miss Clearsky, my army is ready for battle, and the time agreed with the Governor of Meteorite has arrived...... You can attack! ”

Clear Sky looked back at the fact that he had brought Master Oulu, his gaze lingered on the two who were obviously women, and said to Sinclair, "Attack!" The Abyss Apostle Morris is handed over to us. ”

"He's yours!" Sinclair smiled at Clear Sky with what he thought was very handsome, and then waved his hand and ordered: "The whole army obeys!" Encirclement of the Abyss Temple...... Offensive! ”

Several magic signals rose into the air, and the airships in the sky also released offensive signals. Soon, the sky of the city of Saint Lun was full of magic signals flying in all directions, and they exploded into brilliant fireworks.

The order to attack is given, and the mages who accompany the army are the first to release the prepared magic. Dark clouds quickly formed within the building, rain poured down, and then thunderbolts fell from the sky.

Instead of targeting the main building, the mages in the army controlled the lightning to form a net of lightning that swept through the gardens around the main building.

Rainwater directing electricity from the ground swayed across the ground, and one magic trap after another was detonated.

The fire obstacle is cleared, and the power grid closes to the main building.

Under the control of the driver, the heavy war machine carried a thick shield and walked towards the main building. The iron bars were in front of them, bent and broken like noodles.

The soldiers who followed followed in a line followed the tall bodies of the war machines.

The whole offensive coordination was like a stream, and everyone did what they had to do in their own position, showing extremely high military quality.

The magic traps on the periphery were destroyed, and the war machines approached the main building smoothly, and the abyssal mages hiding inside couldn't help but attack the Imperial soldiers.

The closed windows opened, and from inside crawled out countless monsters made of flesh and blood. They all look hideous, like the mutated zombies in Resident Evil.

The monsters crept in twist and swoop towards the Imperial soldiers, and then magic fireballs and crossbow bolts shot out of the windows, and muskets crackled.

Tall war machines held shields overhead, protected the driver, and provided cover for the soldiers behind. The Imperial soldier pushed the mechanical puppet to his side, used the puppet to attract the monster's attack, and drew his own knife to find an opportunity to slash the monster.

The attacking team moved on.

At this moment, the earth on the ground tumbled, and a huge earthworm with a diameter of two meters came out of the ground and swallowed an Imperial soldier in one bite. Then the giant earthworm twisted its body and crushed it, knocking out a breakthrough in the neat ranks, and the fierce monster broke through, and a commando team of Imperial soldiers was immediately locked in a bitter battle.

Sinclair, who was standing on the periphery, waved his hand, and a small team of all elite soldiers rushed in. These soldiers worked well together and were extremely experienced in combat, and quickly gained the upper hand against monsters with only the instinct to kill.

The giant earthworm was cut into two pieces by a soldier, and the two earthworms grew back into their heads and tails to continue attacking, but they were quickly split into non-regenerating pieces under the attack of the elite team.

The Abyss Mage's counterattack did not inflict too many casualties on the Imperial soldiers, and the War Machines led the team to rush under the walls of the main building, and the professional soldiers stepped forward to prepare for the blast.

A steam airship sailed directly above the main building, and more than a dozen cylindrical objects were thrown from the pods. The flying elite soldiers lifted the ropes from their bodies and swooped downward.

The columns break open the roof of the main building, leaving holes in it that allow people to enter; The outer walls burst open, and Imperial soldiers armed with weapons rushed in; Airborne Imperial soldiers landed on the roof of the house and stormed through the open hole.

Heavy fighting was fought in full swing inside the main building.

Sinclair looked at the time and was very pleased with the speed with which his army had advanced. He asked the soldiers to follow, and then said to Clear Sky, "Miss Clear Sky, are you going to go in now, or wait for my soldiers to find the entrance to the underground altar?" ”

"Now go in! I can feel the smell of the abyss growing here, and the abyss mage must be preparing a large secret spell that, if unleashed, will destroy the entire city. ”

Clear Sky led the Oulu mages to the battlefield.

Sinclair followed with a team of elite soldiers, and he threw out a sword to split a sneak attack monster into two pieces, and then said courteously: "Miss Sunny Sky, you can deal with Morris at ease, and the other miscellaneous soldiers will be left to me." ”

Clear skies pass through the smashed garden and enter the main building, as if entering another world.

The inner walls of the building are covered with bulges that resemble blood vessels, and black liquid can be seen flowing through them. A sarcoma grows where the blood vessels converge, and when the sarcoma bursts, a monster emerges from it.

Monsters spawn very quickly, and the attacking Imperial soldiers are in a bitter battle with such monsters.

Clear Sky summons a spirit orb, which fires fireballs like a turret with infinite firepower, incinerating all monsters and sarcomas within its attack range.

The Oulu mages also unleashed their magic to help the trapped Imperial soldiers.

Clear Sky said to Sinclair, who came after him, "You take your people to guard this place, don't let these monsters escape." Let's go to Moorris, and only by killing him and destroying the altar can we stop these monsters from growing.

Beware of abyssal mages hiding inside in the form of monsters, who can rely on these veins to move and attack quickly. ”

Sinclair asked in surprise, "The Abyss Mage would turn into such a monster." ”

These flesh-and-blood monsters almost don't look like people, who would turn themselves into this.

Clear Sky raises his hand and shoots an ice pick, pinning a monster to the wall. The monster did not turn into blood and be absorbed by the blood vessels after death, like other monsters, but struggled a few times and then went limp.

"That's what the abyss does to a person. They have become like this before they have even faced the abyss, and those who face the abyss will give up everything as human beings. ”

Sinclair knew that Clear Sky was alluding to Emperor Augustine, and he immediately became serious: "Miss Clear Sky, don't worry...... I'll leave it to me. ”

"Do a good job, I won't keep you waiting too long."

Clear Sky led the Oulu mages into the depths of the main building, which was full of Imperial soldiers battling monsters.

They slay the monsters as if they were in a no-man's land, reaching the middle room.

It's a boxy room, there are no disgusting veins on the walls, no monsters, and naturally no soldiers.

"Jenverny, close the door."

Jenvernie lifted her hood and turned to close the door.

Everyone else lifted their hoods from their heads.

The four were Bruce Ban, Princess Dale, Princess Agatha, and Agatha's lady-in-waiting.

Sunny Sky asked Princess Dale, "Have you seen anyone familiar?" ”

Dale looked solemn, as if she didn't want to believe what she had discovered. Eventually, she nodded and said, "I saw people attacking me inside, and although I didn't see them at the time, they showed a lot of features when they retreated.

Fania brother he ...... How could he ......"

The cruel reality hit Daile hard, she didn't expect that it was her brother who wanted to kill her, in order to harm his other sister.

Agatha stroked Dale's hair and said softly, "Dale, this is the cruel royal struggle. There are too many of these things in history, and some people can do anything for the sake of that throne. ”

Tears flowed from Dale's eyes, and she leaned into Agatha's arms, crying, "But that's history, and I never thought that the stories in those books would happen to me." Agatha, I'm scared ......"

Agatha hugged Dai'er with a very sad expression: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." You are the last kindness of the Augustinian family, the princess I want to be but can't, and I won't let you be hurt in any way.

I think Miss Sunny Sky will protect you too. And the Governor of Meteor, who will make those who bully you pay. ”

Clear Sky looked at the princess who hugged each other and had a deep sisterhood, and Agatha at this time did not have any sharpness, she was a sister who cared for her sister.

But the clear sky still broke the heartwarming scene.

"If Princess Dale wishes, when you return to the palace, you can apply to Your Majesty to continue your studies at Oulu Academy. You are smart and will definitely become a good master of arcanes.

Now we're going to find Moore Rees as soon as possible. If you don't kill him, there will be more and more monsters here. Whatever Fania did, your nephew Sinclair shouldn't have died here. ”

Thinking of having to deal with the Abyss Mage again, Agatha put on her hood as Dale wiped away her tears: "It is the Augustine family's responsibility to guard the imperial capital and protect the subjects of the empire. You are the princess of the empire and do what you are supposed to do. ”

"Yes, Sister Agatha."

Agatha put on her hood, drew her sword in one hand, pulled Dale in the other, and said to Clear Sky, "Let's go kill Morris!" ”

Clear Sky said, "Then float up!" ”

Clear Sky recited the spell, and there was an immediate sound of mechanical gears turning, and then the entire room turned upside down.

Six people used levitation, and when the room stopped, they landed on the floor that had been the ceiling.

Standing by the door, Jenverny opened the door, and it was no longer a scuffle of battle, but a quiet, dark underground passage.

Without a clear sky order, Janverne walked out with a magic wand. As she chanted the incantation, ghosts emerged from the walls on either side of the passage.

Then Jenvernie let out a piercing, high-pitched cry, and the ghost flew down the tunnel.
