The fierce battle at the gates of the city soon spread throughout the royal capital, and the people trembled for fear that the dragon-scale monitor lizards that had not been cleaned up would rush into their homes.

The big guys naturally got the news as soon as possible, but they didn't plan to immediately go to comfort the Nightmare Knights who had sacrificed the most in this battle, but they couldn't go without a single one.

In the end, the second princess, Agnes, and the Raymond family, who followed, came to Mongos.

At this time, the people of the royal capital were in urgent need of appeasement, Marika and John never cared about this, so naturally they would not come, and Byron would put himself in a dangerous situation if he showed up, so the only chance fell to Agnes.

It's just that an eye-catching guy is coming.

"I said Her Royal Highness? The Nightmare Knights belong to my family, what are you here to join in? Grant said angrily, "If there are still monsters that haven't been cleaned up, it's not good for you to hurt them." ”

As soon as Lucius heard this, he immediately stood in front of Agnes.

"Show me some respect!"

"Ouch, how dare I disrespect Her Highness Agnes."

Agnes smiled and said unhurriedly.

"I'm really sorry for misunderstanding, I'm here to comfort the people, after this riot, they may have been greatly frightened, so there must be a member of the royal family to preside over the overall situation."

"Hmph, Her Royal Highness Marika will be here soon, so I don't get carried away." Grant heard what she meant, but still showed a look of disdain.

"You ......"

Lucius was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Agnes.

"Forget it, don't be like him, let's go see the people."

At this time, the people who had been scared away before the battle began, returned, and they gathered in the square near the city gate, looking at the large ruins in front of them, and the corpses of monitor lizards piled up at the city gates, all in horror.

There were still some people outside the square who came to see the excitement, but Agnes was not dissatisfied, it was better that the people gathered here to make it easier for her to speak.

So, escorted by several knights, she came to the high platform in the center of the square.

Most of the people recognized Her Royal Highness at once, and then looked at her expectantly, but there were still a small number of people who did not like her, so they kept booing from below.

Agnes was not afraid of this, but coughed lightly and said to the people in the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that there was a terrible battle just now, which made our peaceful life chaotic and tense, but fortunately, the knights of the Knights of the Yuxhir Knights fought with their lives to defend the royal capital, and now your house and property have been destroyed, and you may barely save your life, but you who have nothing seem to be unable to gain a foothold in the royal capital, so I can understand your feelings, and I want to do something for you......"

As the princess spoke, the people below were talking, and some of the opponents of Agnes scoffed at her words.

"Hmph, you are talking big here without investigating anything clearly, and you still say that you understand? What kind of understanding is it to put us people outside as cannon fodder and hide in the safety of royal territory? A middle-aged man said disdainfully.

As soon as they heard this, the people around them agreed, because their house was ruined, and the property they had built up over the years was reduced to a pile of ruins, and they simply could not stay in this Castia, which valued wealth and status.

But there was still an objection, it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

"We can't say that, although my words are a bit excessive, but how can you put the members of the royal family, especially the candidates for the throne, in danger, if something happens, then the entire empire will not be in danger?"

"Tsk, you're not a local, are you?" The middle-aged man asked impatiently.

“…… Hehe, uncle, good eyesight, I'm from a place called Blackpool Town, but even if it's a commoner from a remote place like me, His Royal Highness Agnes allows me to live here, let alone you locals. Emir said with a smile.

The people around thought about it and felt that the emir had a point.

"Hey, this little brother, are you really a commoner? I don't think you're dressed badly. ”

"Of course not, you should know the rules of the royal capital, the common people in remote areas are not allowed to enter the royal capital, unless they are bought by the nobles as servants, so I can barely be called a nobleman, but compared to you, I'm afraid it's nothing."

"Oh, I see." The man nodded.

Actually, it was really said by the emir that the people here either had the lowest titles or were relatives of some great noble.

Then, another richly dressed woman stood up and spoke.

"I do hear that Her Highness Agnes is a gentle and kind person who will not easily chase us away from us who have lost our possessions, but who knows? After all, she is a candidate for the throne, and everything is only about interests, and we people are of little value to her, and we will probably be driven out of the royal capital. ”

"Do you think so?" The emir was a little surprised, and then continued, "I have a reservation about this, so let's listen to His Highness Agnes before commenting." ”

"Well, that's right." The woman agreed, and she looked at the princess on the stage again.

The people around him also listened carefully, only the middle-aged man at the beginning, he spat on the ground and left.

Emir's eyes did not take his eyes off him, and finally, he saw the man run up to Grant, as if to say something, and then be slapped in the face.

Immediately afterward, Agnes raised her voice.

“…… I hereby assure you that you will not be driven out, and if anyone excludes you because you have no houses or property, you can report it directly to my knights, and I will punish those who have excluded you severely, in short, I will set up enough tents for the homeless, and I will have a free supply of food to ensure that you eat the same as you normally would, and you will receive a certain amount of relief every day until we have rebuilt the area. ”

Hearing what Agnes said, the people below were stunned at first, after all, they had never heard of such a good thing, but then there was a deafening applause and cheers.

The person who had spoken to Emir just now couldn't hide his excitement, and hurriedly lifted Emir up with a few people next to him.

However, the emir was not surprised at all, he seemed indifferent, and then leaned over to them and spoke loudly.

"Don't be too happy, it's easy for candidates for the throne to make promises, but the key is whether they can be put into practice, after all, we have seen too many nobles who can only talk but not do, in short, you can judge when the time comes."

When the people around them heard this, they regained their expressions, and they looked back at Agnes seriously, and then nodded heavily as if they had made a decision.

However, as Agnes was about to leave, surrounded by knights, a dark shadow flashed on the roof of a house that no one noticed.

Just like when he assassinated Herbert before, the Black Shadow pulled out a crossbow, and the black-looking, poison-coated arrow was instantly released, aiming it at Agnes's chest.

The arrow was so thin that it was drowned out by the cheers of the populace, despite the sound of breaking wind as it slashed through the air.

In the end, the arrow silently approached the target, but instead of hitting Agnes, it flew towards the unsuspecting Grant with some deflection of force.

As you can imagine, Grant, who was asking Mongues about the specific situation, died on the spot, and the sharp arrow pierced his heart directly, and then plunged into the brick and stone floor.

Suddenly, everyone around screamed, and Lucius, who had found the sharp arrow and was about to block it, was also stunned.

But then he understood that this was Byron's trick, and the great nobles knew that there were only two forces that came to the scene of the battle, the princess Agnes and the Raymond family, and if something happened to one of them, then it would definitely have nothing to do with the other.

Seeing this, Agnes immediately figured out that Byron's purpose was to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, although she tried her best to avoid fighting with Marika's forces in public, but now it seems that the worst situation cannot be avoided.

At this time, the middle-aged man who had been slapped by Grant before immediately shouted loudly.

"It's Agnes! It was she who killed me, Lord Grant, it was all a lie, how could she leave you people who have no money and no power, don't be stupid, it is better to support Her Highness Marika, at least she will not be so hypocritical, while blinding you with rhetoric, and at the same time using cruel means to kill the opponents. ”

It was because of his excuse that the people present fell into suspicion again, and they all looked at Agnes and asked her to give an explanation.

But she hadn't experienced this situation either, and she thought that everything was under her control, but she didn't expect something unexpected to happen.

Just as she was at a loss for what to do and fell silent, a violent shock suddenly came from the direction of the royal domain, and the people did not stand firm for a while, and suddenly fell to a large area.

Agnes almost fell to the ground, but Lucius helped her in time.

Then, everyone who had just gotten up from the ground immediately looked in the direction of the royal domain, and none of them were shocked.

I saw a huge steel monster emerge from the ground, its body covered with a cloud of thunderclouds, constantly making explosions, and the moment it appeared, the entire royal territory was destroyed.

"Oh my God, what's that?"

"Giants? Or maybe it's a monster? ”

"It's over, it's over, the Elnos Empire is going to be destroyed."

"Shut up and calm me down!"

At this moment, Mungus ignored the exclamations of the people around him, and countless memories instantly flooded through his mind, which were from the grandeur of that mighty empire thousands of years ago.

“…… Finally appeared, our god, Hercules! ”
