Chapter 325: A Big Trouble (Part 1)
When the sound of banging shields and stamping feet shook the world outside the city, in the city lord's palace, Aldai and the other three had just fought.
"Renya, stop playing and come up!"
"oh."
Although the white dragon's abilities will be weakened in human form, they are still far superior to those of mortals. Renya threw away an unlucky guard who she used as a mallet to hit people, and quickly followed the footsteps of Reiner and Aldai.
As expected, there were too many guards in the castle, and they were unable to fly or use teleportation. It took the three of them a long time to fight from the first floor to the third floor of the castle.
Fortunately, I didn't choose to call them directly, otherwise they would have run away long ago.
The guard guarding the door of the banquet hall tried to stop them, but was knocked against the wall by Aldai's spell, and Reina kicked the door open.
The banquet hall was still as it was before. The three people who rushed in saw a dead steward lying on the ground, plus some nobles and officers dead in front of the long table.
The toxin formula derived from the Plague Goddess is indeed powerful, and the most important thing is that it is concealed enough.
However, they immediately discovered that those who died on the table were all ordinary demons. There were no high-ranking demons. They should have drank the antidote before being poisoned to death.
The most important thing is that the city lord's body size of more than 200 kilograms was not noticed.
After taking a look at the scene, Aldai twitched her fingers at a shivering servant hiding in the corner. The latter was immediately dragged into the air as if being pulled up by an invisible hand.
"Where is the city lord?"
"No, I don't know...ah!"
The electric current shot from Aldai's fingertips pierced the servant's arm, and the latter's mind suddenly became clearer.
"She must have escaped through a secret passage!"
"Where is the secret passage?"
"I really don't know, I'm just a maid!"
After letting this guy play with the big windmill, Aldai was convinced that he really didn't know.
Being able to poison so many military officers and government personnel has actually achieved the goal. At least the military and political affairs of the city will be paralyzed in a short period of time. However, I am still a little unhappy that the city lord was not caught.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the banquet hall, and the guards who came were frantically banging on the door.
There is no time to look for the secret passage where they don't know where it is now, they have other things to do.
Reina confirmed that all these people were dead, immediately opened the window and jumped out, and Renia followed obediently.
At the end, Aldai dropped an invisible floating booby trap, and then used the feather falling technique to avoid falling damage, and it also landed firmly on the ground.
"What to do now?"
"Making a scene."
Aldai put her hand on the ground and took out the scroll hidden in the pocket of the maid's uniform with her other hand and opened the wax seal. An earth-yellow magic circle with a diameter of seven or eight meters appeared at the feet.
Under the influence of magic, the soil in the garden instantly swelled and expanded. Aldai, who was standing on it, rose higher and higher, eventually turning into a clay giant more than ten meters high.
——Long!
It let out a deep roar and smashed the garden wall with one punch. It also caused the soldiers who were coming to brake quickly and stop.
Renya likes to make a scene the most, because this simple and crude operation does not require the use of brains. The pure white aura quickly enveloped her, and Reina adjusted it as the aura expanded.
--hold head high!
The dragon's roar resounded through the night sky, shattering the surrounding glass, and successfully making everyone in the city aware of the dragon's presence in the city.
The guards who arrived did not brake suddenly this time, but immediately retreated.
After all, how many gold coins do you earn per month? What are you fighting for?
"I'll leave you on your right, let's meet in front of the city gate."
Rena, who stood above Bailong, nodded and directed Bailong to cross the garden wall.
At this time, the third floor where they jumped down was lit up with fierce fire. It must be that the guards rushed into the banquet hall, and the floating booby trap was detonated. Under the light of the spurting flames, the white dragon and the clay giant passed through the garden wall one after another. , walking towards the city gate from two different directions, one left and one right.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
As the strongest fortress city in the Demon Kingdom of Avarus, Open City has never encountered such an emergency situation.
In the past, even if there was an enemy attacking the city, the army could keep it out. Even if there were spies who came in to cause trouble, they could be easily extinguished.
Why can't it work this time?
Quite simply, the government failed to fulfill its responsibilities.
A large number of soldiers who were familiar with the local environment were dismissed. The Demon Kingdom of Subia has not yet completed assimilation into the open city. When encountering an emergency, various departments found that they could not find their leaders. They did not know what to do and could only watch. Watch the events unfold.
And in this chaotic situation, a rumor began to spread in the city.
Princess Viola, the legitimate heir of the Demon Kingdom of Avarus, is outside the city. She is about to regain the open city. If she wants to drive away the invaders, she must help now!
In this era, national consciousness has not yet awakened, and civilians do not have a strong sense of belonging to the country, so at this time, they generally like to use religion to rule and assimilate.
Just like the emperors of the Celestial Dynasty, they appointed Taoist national teachers and went to monk temples to worship Buddha. Do you think they really believe in this stuff?
The main purpose is to use this gesture to maintain the sense of belonging of the country and the people.
You see, even the emperor worships Sanqing, we must be together.
However, the Demon Kingdom of Avarus is a country where all religions are prohibited from entering, and only the Demon King's Cult is the legal religion.
After the Subia Demon Kingdom entered the Open City, they also tried to use their own domestic religion to assimilate, but it had the opposite effect.
Originally, most people didn't have much loyalty to the Demon King. After all, the locals believed that the Demon King was similar to a character in a mythical story. But suddenly a foreign religion came over to make us believe that you are going to the grave to burn newspapers and fooling ghosts. ?
The people are a little dissatisfied with the rule of the Demon Kingdom of Subia. Besides, this is the place where the Demon Kingdom of Avarus has been operating for hundreds of years. It goes without saying who the people's hearts are towards.
As long as there is no fundamental contradiction, the people usually just turn a blind eye and accept the rule by default. Now that they have the opportunity to resist, many people take to the streets carrying tools or kitchen knives, preparing to participate in the grand event together.
When the guards who were originally maintaining order heard about this incident, they also began to think about it.
You see, we were originally regular soldiers in the open city, with not much work and generous salaries.
As a result, the city lord surrendered because of his selfishness. Now we can only work as city managers, armed with sticks that can’t even fool the common people. We don’t even have a piece of armor. We earn less but have more work. We even have to look at someone else’s Subi The face of the sub-demon king’s army.
Damn it, I quit!
The guards in charge of urban management rebelled one after another. They also followed the example of the people and tied red cloth strips on their arms to participate in this sudden rebellion.
Of course, there are many people who take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, such as targeting large households in the city to grab a fortune.
But no matter what, it is a fact that the city is getting more and more chaotic.
