The bottom of the old royal capital, the dark underground palace.

The Dungeon Guards also gathered at the entrance on the orders of the Warden. Maria deliberately stalled for time to allow Annan to escape from the old royal capital.

About a few dozen minutes later, the night sky of the old royal capital suddenly reverberated with an ominous bell, and the evil eye hanging high in the sky also woke up from its slumber.

The nezumi priest discovers that Princess Sayles has fled.

Maria followed the two armoured nezumi to the nezumi priest.

In front of the vertical eyes that shimmered with scarlet light, Maria feigned panic: "I don't know where she went......"

"You...... Messed up the ...... of the Holy Clan Task. ”

The Nezumi Priest's voice was like a broken trumpet, piercing and low: "You know the cost......"

"Yes...... I know. ”

This is the second time it has failed...... According to Clan Stun's tradition, she was sent to a rat's nest to undergo surgery to become a fertility machine like a rat mother......

When the nezumi priest raised his bone staff, and the glow-green evil energy bloomed, Maria thought that her last light had gone with Annan, but at least it had appeared......

Like his own silly brother, his short life will not know how colorful life is.

Before the punishment fell on Maria, a teleportation array suddenly appeared at her feet, and immediately after, the teleportation array was interrupted and tampered with into a portal.

Two strange human mages step out of the portal. One of the figures saw the evil energy, and casually raised the staff, sending out a ray of rays, which annihilated the evil energy along with the nezumi priest.

Then Annan jumped out of the portal and said to a surprised Maria, "You don't think I'll leave you here, do you?" ”

Mr. Svarro, who was observing the surroundings, glanced deeply at Annan at this time.

"How did you get back!"

Maria looked at Annan in disbelief.

"Because your emotions aren't right." Annan looked at the intact Maria and was glad to have arrived in time: "In the past, you were either a lively noblewoman or a cunning girl, but today you look preoccupied, and you are about to write on your face, 'What should I do if I betray my clan, I will have no place to stand'." ”

With that, Annan put a dusty grass ring back on Maria's head.

“…… Did you pick it up? ”

"Please, I'm running for my life, of course I have to look around. I saw you standing alone on the wall, and I threw away the straw ring I gave you......"

Annan's chatter warmed Maria's body again: "You shouldn't have come back. ”

"You're underestimating my Ben uh...... My partner's skills. Annan looked at Dean Brehim: "Dean, how is it?" ”

"There is one nezumi elder in the dungeon, five nezumi priests, and countless elite nezumi ......"

Nezumi priests are just masters, while nezumi elders are somewhere between epic and master...... But Annan had two epics, a master, and an expeditionary force - one of which was a half-step epic of the pinnacle of completion.

"The old kings are all what we want from the McCain clan, the Sturne clan is in the dungeon, and there are at most a few McCain nezumi priests outside...... But the priests who wield the Eye of Evil are similar to the Elders. ”

This is the hinterland, and there aren't many nezumi left.

"Then deal with the Evil Eye first." Annan looked at Maria.

"You're not leaving here?"

"What if we leave you?"

The two epics consciously walked away when Annan and Maria were talking: "We are going to make a big fuss in the old royal capital. And you, as the one who gathered the elite nezumi and fended off the invaders, protected the property of the Stoun clan...... Rats - how about such a script? ”

"Follow me."

Maria has changed completely. Or rather, betrayal and exploitation go deep into the marrow of the Sturn clan. The only warmth she had was for Annan - not even for her younger brother.

Maria led the three of Annan to the dungeon, where she dealt with the praying nezumi cultists and shattered the Eye of Evil Power.

The trembling eyes erupted in a non-threatening glow, and now, all the ratmen of the old royal capital were blind.

"Are there any other survivors in the dungeon?" Annan asked.

"And a few more."

Annan and Maria arrive at the entrance to the dungeon and block the Stoon Rat in the dungeon.

The next step was to split up: Annan had the expeditionary force make a big fuss in the old royal capital, and Maria took advantage of the opportunity.

"Dean, do me a favor so that my friends are not in danger."

Dean Brehim agreed, and cast a bunch of defensive spells on Maria that would take a lot of effort for an epic mage to break.

"I'll make the expeditionary force ignore the nezumi who won't take the initiative to attack."

Maria bowed: "I see." ”

Annan then asked Mr. Schwaro for help: he unleashed the Lower Summoning Technique. With the help of Epic, Elimoas appears at the entrance to the dungeon.

"You've been suffocating in Liberty City for so long, right? Let your evil nature come to light. ”

Elimoas looked at Maria, who was very close to Annan, suspiciously, and then kicked up the dust and rose into the air.

What could be more beautiful than a blue dragon soaring through the sky?

It is a blue dragon that soars over the enemy.

"I'm leaving." Maria looked at the blue dragon flying freely, and seemed to be a little envious.

"Hopefully, the next time we meet, you'll have your destiny in your hands."

Annan's words touched Maria, and she gently hugged Annan as the Dean and Mr. Svarro looked away, whispering in his ear, "Is it true that you told me to go to Liberty City?" ”

"You're always welcome."

Maria let go of Annan and melted into the night while the chaos was still there.

Annan regained his mood and opened the portal on the expeditionary force's side.

Annan told them in advance, so they had distanced themselves from the rat tide and stepped out of the portal one after another.

"This is the old royal capital."

Needless introduction, everyone saw the shadow of the palace garden in the distance. And for the Imperials, it's like a parody of Montreal Hill.

"Your mission is to snatch this place from the nezumi, even if it's just for a day...... We've done what no one else can't. ”

After the expeditionary force was overwhelmed by Annan's words and asked them to avoid the ratmen who would not take the initiative to attack, Annan loosened his grip on them.

They were divided into two teams. A team rushes through the streets, and a team cleans up the dungeon and searches for survivors.

Mr. Svarro also floated out, and Wang Du should still have some memories of him......

"Meow~"

Annan lowered his head and looked at Lily and the silly cat at his feet. After picking up Lily, Annan saw some unfamiliar faces that hadn't left yet.

Mira Dia says they are Lady Winter's men.

"Is Lady Winter alright?"

The chief of the guard replied, "Not very well. ”

In the dead of winter, there is a shortage of food, a shortage of soldiers, a lack of resources, and a lack of everything.
