Chapter 62: The Decisive Battle of the Royal Capital (1) Empty City Plan?

"Your Highness!" A soldier quickly ran to Ouyang Yu's side and knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Highness, after our inspection, all the people in this village are gone, most of the villagers' rooms are placed with half-eaten food, there is no trace of being turned over in the room, and the property and food are not lost, judging from the clues left, the villagers were forcibly taken away while eating, and they left in a hurry without bringing anything, and the time when they were taken away was about five to seven days ago, and the direction was in the direction of Wangdu." ”

Since the victory over the Rush Legion, the crusading army has marched all the way to the royal capital, and there is no resistance at all on the way, but the scouts who were exploring the way in front of the army three days ago reported that they found a village empty, and originally thought that the people in the village were out to avoid the disaster of war, and they didn't care about Ouyang Yu and ordinary soldiers.

However, with further advancement, more and more uninhabited villages and small towns were discovered, which attracted the attention of Ouyang Yu and others.

"Go down. Ouyang Yu waved his hand, sat on the horse, thought for a while, and asked Duke Simon and other nobles beside him, "What do you think?"

The others looked at each other, and one of the nobles said, "Your Highness, is this the Pseudo-King Kaul imitating Queen Higra's practice?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a nobleman came out and retorted: "The villages and towns we have discovered, all the food and materials in them have not been transferred, what kind of fortified field is this, besides, our army is supported by many nobles and big merchants in the north, weapons and food can be replenished at will anytime and anywhere, even if it is a strong wall and clear wilderness, it has no effect." ”

"yes, yes. This statement was unanimously agreed.

Ouyang Yu couldn't guess what this was for, so she ordered: "The whole army is advancing slowly, send more scouts, and go to the left and right farther away to check!"

"Yes!"

In the next two days, a large number of scouts were sent out of the city, and more uninhabited villages or towns were discovered, and as previously discovered, none of the food and supplies in them were transferred and remained in place, and the inhabitants of the villages or towns disappeared without a trace as if the world had evaporated, and the whereabouts of these people all pointed to the royal capital.

"What the hell is going on?" Ouyang Yu was puzzled, "But after arriving in the royal capital, all doubts will be solved." ”

The crusading army finally came to the royal capital of the Kadesh Kingdom, and the 60,000 crusading army camped outside the royal capital to rest for one night, and the energetic soldiers set off early the next morning, and under the leadership of Ouyang Yu, they went to the city wall of the royal capital.

"Huh, there's no one on the city wall, and the city gate is open?" shouted a sharp-eyed nobleman who approached the city wall in surprise.

Although there were some flags fluttering in the wind, the walls of the royal capital were empty, and the gates, which were supposed to be closed, seemed to be eerily open with a big mouth that could eat people.

"Herald!" Ouyang Yu shouted.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Send to all the gates to see if they are all open. ”

"Yes!"

Dozens of cavalry galloped towards the remaining three city gates, and soon Ouyang Yu was rewarded, and all the city gates were open.

Ouyang Yu's good-looking eyebrows were almost twisted into an inverted figure, and he ordered loudly: "Send people to enter the royal capital from various city gates!"

"Yes!"

More than 100 cavalry were ordered to set off, and the army was facing the south gate, which was also the nearest city gate, and more than 20 cavalrymen who went to the south gate to inquire came to the vicinity of the city gate, took out their weapons and shields, slowed down their horses, and entered the city gate cautiously.

Ouyang Yu and the others waited anxiously for the news from the upper echelons of the crusading army, and half an hour later, the cavalry team that was investigating at the south gate returned, and the cavalry captain came to Ouyang Yu and reported: "Your Highness! We have carefully checked the city gate and the vicinity of the city gate, and we have not found anyone. ”

The rest of the cavalry captains who had sent out also returned to report that no one had been found.

The royal capital is the largest city in the Kadesh Kingdom, with a permanent population of almost 120,000, plus the uninhabited villages and small towns found these days, if these people also enter the royal capital, then there should be about 200,000 people in the royal capital, but these 200,000 people are all alive and dead, and this strange situation makes Ouyang Yu feel palpitations in his heart.

After discussing with Duke Simon and the others for a while, Ouyang Yu ordered: "Send five thousand people into the royal capital to search, and the rest of the soldiers are on guard outside the city, even if you turn the royal capital over, you must find out what happened to me!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" the herald commanded.

Soon, the 5,000 men who received the order entered the royal capital through the four gates, dispersed, and began to search for houses from the outside to the inside.

Ouyang Yu also entered the royal capital, she randomly chose a house next to the road, pushed open the door to see, the first thing that caught her eye was the living room, the furnishings in the living room were very neat, the tables, chairs, cabinets and other furniture were made of more expensive mahogany, which showed that the family's economic situation was good, there was no sign of struggle and struggle, she came to the kitchen again, and there were some ingredients in the kitchen that had just been cut and waiting to be processed, showing that the hostess of the family was preparing a good meal.

She came to the second floor again, the first room on the left of the second floor was a girl's room, there were some cute plush toys on the pink sheets, and in the cabinet in the room were small dresses, all kinds of colors and styles, casually, this plush toy is a new type of doll that has recently swept the mainland, and Andy has nothing to do with it.

The first room on the right is a boy's room, with some wooden swords, wooden shields and other practice equipment, and it seems that a boy preparing to become a warrior or an obsessive with brave stories.

In the room of the owner of the house, Ouyang Yu saw a half-sewn dress, judging from the size, it should have been sewn by the hostess for the man, which showed that the relationship between the man and the woman was very good and affectionate.

This is a warm family, a harmonious couple has a pair of lovely children, and the family is not bad, it is a wealthy family, but now their family is missing, life and death are unknown, Ouyang Yu does not like the scene he sees now, and left the house after closing the door.

Then she inspected a dozen other houses, including commoners, merchants, nobles, and slaves, all of which, like the first one she saw, were empty.

"Your Highness!" a herald ran to Ouyang Yu's side and reported: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness, when our soldiers searched the palace, they found the puppet King Kaul in the council hall, and now Duke Simon has led troops to surround the council hall and ordered me to come and invite His Highness over!"

"Okay!" Ouyang Yu's mood changed from low to a little happy, he was afraid that he would run away before, once he ran away, he might catch it for more than ten years like he grabbed Riches, and now hearing that he was actually surrounded in the council hall, Ouyang Yu immediately walked out of the house he was inspecting, turned over and ran towards the palace.

"Where is he?" asked Ouyang Yu loudly as soon as he arrived at the door of the council hall.

"Your Highness, Kaul is inside, and we don't dare to act without your order. Duke Simon bowed and said.

"Very good, you are all waiting outside, no one is allowed to come in without my order!" After speaking, Ouyang Yu strode towards the inside of the council hall.

"Yes, Your Highness!" ×N.

Ouyang Yu strode into the council hall, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Kaul sitting on the throne above the hall.

It was the first time Ouyang Yu saw his 'uncle', two long heroic sword eyebrows, a high nose bridge, broad lips, although his eyes were closed, he could also feel his majestic 'gaze', wearing a set of black full-body heavy armor, with a black heavy sword in both hands, a solemn aura came to his face, compared to Riches, he may indeed be more suitable for the position of King Kadesh.

"Who are you?" asked Kaul as he sat on his throne.

"My name is Andy Springs Zeger, my 'dear' uncle. Ouyang Yu bowed slightly and said.

"Are you Riches' child?" Kaul said a little confused, "I have the impression that she is just a sixteen-year-old girl who likes to laugh, I didn't think she actually had children, who is your father?"

"It's just the eldest son of an insignificant little nobleman, but ......," Ouyang Yu said here, and said in a strengthened tone: "I have been killed by your men!"

"Really? ha......ha It's good to die, so why don't you and your mother die together!" Kaul suddenly laughed nervously.

Ouyang Yu stared at Kaul and said, "For the sake of my mother's relatives, for the people who have helped me, and for the innocent people who died under your orders, my mother and I can't die now!

"Hahaha...... If you want to kill me, then it depends on whether you have the ability to do this!" After speaking, Kaul slowly stood up, according to the situation, Kaul's fighting qi talent is still good, and he has a fourth-level mid-level fighting qi cultivation, but this cultivation is not in Ouyang Yu's eyes.

"Thunderbolt!"

A white bolt of lightning struck Kaul, but he patted the non-existent dust on his armor as if he hadn't been hurt at all, and said lightly, "If you have this strength, then you can kill it." ”

Kaul raised the heavy sword in his hand and waved it casually, and a huge black fighting qi slash flew from the heavy sword and flew towards Ouyang Yu with a roar of death.

Ouyang Yu used teleportation to dodge when the Dou Qi Slash was about to cut him down, and the black Dou Qi Slash flew out of the council hall with an indomitable momentum, splitting all the objects blocking it along the way into two, and only exploded violently until it hit the wall of the palace, and blew up a section of the wall of the palace, which was quite strong.

"Dark Fighting Qi?!" Ouyang Yu shouted in surprise.

Kaul's closed eyes slowly opened, and the position that should have been his double pupils was replaced by a blue soul fire, and the fierce black fighting qi was released from his body, and the strong coercion made Ouyang Yu feel a huge danger.

Ouyang Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in disbelief: "I can't believe that you have actually transformed yourself into a black warrior, and you are also a seventh-level undead sword saint." ”

Kaul laughed wildly: "Haha......ha I was also surprised, I couldn't have imagined that after sacrificing the lives of 200,000 people, I could obtain such a powerful force!"

"What?!The 200,000 missing people have all been killed by you?" What kind of crazy person can do this, Ouyang Yu was stunned by Kaul's actions.

"I want to thank you and those wall grasses, if it weren't for you to destroy the Rush Legion, I wouldn't have been able to make such a determination, in order to repay you, I will definitely make your head into a wine cup for you to store properly!
