Chapter 541 Ye City: Don’t forget, you were once a human too!
In the meeting hall of the kingdom's royal palace, a map of the royal capital was spread out in front of the Golden Princess, surrounded by adventurers from the kingdom.
Among them, in addition to the recently famous "Pitch Black Momo", there is also the kingdom's "Steel Level" team "Blue Rose".
These heavenly kings have been attacked by demons, and the people on the front line of resistance have always been these adventurers of the kingdom, as well as the knights of the kingdom.
Although the King of the Kingdom, Rambusa III, also asked the nobles of the surrounding kingdoms for help, but now that the devil is besieging the city, most of the nobles of the kingdom are also worried that they will be affected, so they gathered to give up the guards at home.
In the eyes of these kingdom nobles, civilians are just civilians after all. As lowly pariahs, how can the weight of their lives be compared to theirs?
The royal family asked them to gather the strength of the family to protect those civilians. Isn't this a joke?
How ferocious those demons are, it’s not like they haven’t seen it. What good does it do to them to let them, noble nobles, take risks in order to save those civilians?
The nobles in the royal capital had various excuses for the transfer order, and out of helplessness, the golden princess Lana thought of summoning adventurers from the kingdom to assist.
At the beginning, the adventurers and knights of the kingdom were really powerful, and they were able to withstand many attacks from the devil.
But the devil's offensive and tenacity far exceeded the kingdom's expectations.
The adventurers and the knights fought back the enemy in hard battles, but compared to them who suffered heavy casualties, the demons seemed to have no limit.
Demons such as hellhounds and soul-eating demons are like leeks, killing them one after another will crop up again.
If it weren't for the adamantine-level "Blue Rose" and the jet-black Momo who fought off Jaldabao, the royal capital might have fallen long ago.
"Princess Lana, have you not received any information from those who went to the Theocracy to ask for help?"
The sassy and beautiful girl with long blond hair and wearing armor looked at the golden princess in front of her and asked what most of the people present were most concerned about.
However, facing the inquiry from her friend, the Golden Princess just shook her head helplessly and said: "It stands to reason that such a large-scale demon army invades the human country, and the Theocracy should not sit idly by and ignore it.
But what is strange is that the envoy sent to the foreign Theocracy this time to ask for help said that the Theocracy now seems to be in civil strife. "
After hearing Princess Lana's words, Lakyus, who is also a noble of the kingdom but is also the leader of the "Blue Rose" team, also showed a look of doubt on his face.
The Theocracy is not an ordinary monarchy. It is governed by six priests. Why did it suddenly fall into civil strife?
Of course, Lakyus and the adventurers present had no time to worry about why the Theocracy fell into civil strife. After all, they had too much to take care of themselves.
The point is that if there is civil strife on the Theocratic side, wouldn't they be unable to wait for reinforcements?
The previous successive battles have made many people here look exhausted, and with this low morale, if the demons launch another attack next time, the capital may really fall!
Realizing that the royal capital might fall, many adventurers present began to panic.
They will take the initiative to stand up against the demons, on the one hand to fight for mankind, and on the other hand because of the various generous rewards promised by the royal family.
But no matter how generous the reward is, it is not as important as their own lives. Before, they had only seen the possibility of defeating the demon, so they were willing to fight.
But now there is no support from the Theocracy as expected, and the capital is about to fall. Do they still want to stay and coexist?
Just kidding, they are just adventurers, not nobles of the kingdom, so why should they work for the kingdom?
No, it should be said that the nobles who are supposed to protect the kingdom are either staying behind closed doors or are already packing up their property and preparing to flee the royal capital.
"Everyone, please calm down. Although the support from the Theocracy has not come, I have found a strong reinforcement from other places." It seems that she also realized that what she just said would shake the morale of the army, so Princess Lana He also quickly made up for it.
"In addition to the Theocracy's troops? The kingdom also has other strong reinforcements? Could it be other local nobles in the kingdom?"
Under everyone's speculation, Ye Cheng and the others were also brought into the meeting hall by the soldiers of the kingdom.
When he saw Ye Cheng mixed in the crowd, Momonga was obviously stunned on the spot.
Because according to the plan, Ye Cheng should be kept in the dark about this attack on the kingdom, but why is Ye Cheng here now?
Seeing Ye Cheng looking at him with an unkind expression, Momonga knew that something was going to happen.
Being familiar with Night City, he knew very well that his friend was very angry right now. If he didn't get it right, he would really be beaten into a pile of skeletons.
Momonga, who still hadn't figured out what was going on, immediately put his index finger on his temple, intending to use "information" to contact Demiurge to ask what happened.
However, before he could contact Demiurge, the voice of Night City suddenly appeared in his mind.
"It's information interception. The guy in Night City noticed that I was using information to contact other people..."
"Moonga, I don't care what kind of plane you are doing, but I'm very angry now.
Tell Demiurge and the others that if they encounter me, they'd better run faster, otherwise if I strike hard, I'll be afraid even myself.
And you guys, don’t even think about staying out of it. I really never thought that you would agree to Demiurge’s proposal. "
"Although we came to this world from YGGDRASIL, our bodies and minds have been affected to a certain extent due to racial changes.
But has this guy forgotten that you were once an ordinary human being at the bottom of the class?
If you want to capture those nobles of the kingdom, then I can't control it. After all, judging from the background of this world, most of these so-called noble men will die without mercy.
But you even plan to pack up and take away those humans who are at the bottom, and you don’t even plan to let the elderly and children go. Have you completely turned your own soul into an undead! "
Momonga's body became undead. Ye Cheng knew that his body and mind were affected, but judging from the fact that he always cared about his former companions, his soul and thoughts should not have changed.
And it is also because of this that Ye Cheng feels extremely angry. Demiurge and the others are originally dark creatures, and it is understandable that they would treat humans as inferior creatures, but you, Suzuki Satoru, have a human soul!
Hearing Ye Cheng's extremely angry voice in his mind, Momonga was also stunned on the spot.
All he had been thinking about was making the Great Tomb of Nazarick better, and the undead's body and mind had indeed subtly affected his thinking.
But what Ye Cheng said now also gave him a sense of sudden realization. When did he start to become so indifferent to life?
