“…”

"it's all over……"

Looking at the surface of the "Inner Lake" in front of him, looking at the debris floating on the rolling waves and countless corpses that were hidden and disappeared, Reinharut, who was standing on the North Gate Bridge, waited silently for a while, and found that no one he had expected to float up again. After he had just shot down the enemy into the water, there was no sign of another out, he sighed with great help.

"What, why is this happening..."

At this time, a little girl with blonde hair and red eyes rushed over from the crowd behind the bridge.

"Rhineharut, where are they?"

"Everyone……"

"Where are Kurshe, Amilia, Annatasia and Prisila?"

"How are they now?"

With his eyes wide open, he looked at the huge inner lake in front of him that was still slowly rotating with the whirlpool in the distance. Looking at the lake that had completely submerged the entire city, Firut fell softly on the wet bridge deck.

“…”

Reinharut didn't speak.

Because he knew that the city hall was in the center of the city, and the height difference there was nearly 100 meters away from the lake at the moment. Under the impact of the terrifying lake water, under the terrifying force and oppression, if you cannot return to the lake quickly, it will be enough for anyone to suffocate and die in a very short time!

Unless those people, like him, have the "protective protection of the lake" to breathe in the water and walk on the water surface, otherwise, the ending will be destined.

"Everyone……"

"No, it shouldn't be like this..."

My nose felt sore, and I remembered the companions who had been together and discussed meetings in the Water Feather Pavilion, and thought that they might have turned into cold and floating corpses now, and the desolate and miserable situation in which countless people were buried at the bottom of the lake, tears couldn't help but start to brew in Firut's red eyes.

She never expected that among the five candidates for the throne, she, who had the slowest progress and the worst results, finally saved her life because she did not rush to the city hall to meet in time?

However, although she survived by chance, she was not happy at all.

“Woo woo…”

"It's all our fault..."

"Rhine, if we could take the tower faster, that wouldn't be the case..."

"Woo~!"

"We killed them, we killed everyone here!"

“Wow!”

The more I thought about it, the more I blame myself, the more sad I felt, the more I felt sad, and finally I couldn't help but just sit on the wet bridge with my hands, and burst into tears when I looked at the surging lake water filled with the city.

“…”

Reinharut did not refute Firut's words, nor did he dare to refute them.

At this moment, he just lowered his head in frustration, stood silently behind Firut and clenched his fists.

Obviously, he seemed to think that Firut was right...

If he was not careless after defeating his "grandmother" but searched the tower first, it would be certainly not easy for the strong desire scholar Regulus Cornias to destroy the tower device and the water valve?

However, there is no ifs in this world, and there is no chance to start over. After all, he has caused a huge bitter fruit because of his carelessness. All of this today will accompany him throughout his life and become a heavy burden he will bear for life!

There is no doubt that there is an unshirkable responsibility for the flooding of Priestra, the Curcio, Prischia, Annatasia, Emilia and at least tens of thousands of citizens to be buried at the bottom of the lake!

“Woo…”

"My child is still inside. Who can give me a boat? Go and save him?"

"well……"

"It's over, it's all over, it's all over..."

"Lily, where are you?"

"No!!!"

"Stop her!!"

"Let me go and let me go back!!"

"Wake up!"

"Mirou City is completely finished and has no help..."

"Why?"

“…”

"Let me go, my family is still inside, right in the street in front, let me go back and take a look, let me go, please, please!!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Soon, a group of residents from the original Shuimen city Priestra also rushed to the gate of the north gate, and wanted to rush inside regardless of the situation.

However, those equally sad mercenaries from the "Iron Tooth" mercenaries and the knights who had just helped Reinharut and Wilheim clean up the Witch Cult stopped them, preventing those confused, sad, angry or crazy citizens from approaching the dangerous gate area.

After all, there are no cities or streets in the city gate. The city built below the horizontal plane has now fulfilled the designer's original intention and has been directly buried in the surging lake.

"Let's go!"

"Firut, let's go to the nearby towns first, and then report what's going on here to the Kingdom and the Sages!"

After a long time, seeing the lake gradually calm down, seeing that some survivors were exposed to the lake as they were not as expected in their hearts. Looking at the city residents behind them who were crying a little hysterically, Reinharut sighed, then reached out to pat Firut, who was also sitting on the bridge deck, covering his face and crying bitterly.

"Firut..."

"Let's go!"

"Don't blame yourself too much. This is not your fault, nor is it our fault. This blood debt must be kept on the witch's head!"

"We will find them to figure it out!"

As he said that, Reinharut planned to help Firut up and leave here first.

As for the follow-up treatment and search and rescue work of the flooded Watergate City, it will be an extremely huge project and must be completed with the power of the kingdom.

"I……"

“!!”

Firut, who was helped up, was about to say something, but suddenly, she turned her head in shock and looked towards the middle of the lake in the city gate.

"What, what?!"

“That’s…”

At the same time, Reinharut also turned his head and reached out to hold down the hilt of the dragon sword on his waist, making relevant defenses.

Boom~!

After a loud bang and exploded in the lake in the city, the survivors crowded near the North City Gate Bridge and the other three city Gate Bridges were only shocked to see: At this time, a terrifying black dragon with a huge size and a length of at least two or three hundred meters had broken through the water?

Hulalala...

Then, the other party flapped his wings and swayed up, flew nearly a hundred meters above the flooded Watermen City before hovering there and letting the lake water on its wings fall down like rain.

"Dragon, dragon?!"

"Yes, it's the Black Dragon!!"

“Wow!!!”

"Run quickly!!"

"Help!!"

"Everyone run, run to the shore..."

"Uh wow!!!"

Seeing a huge and terrifying black dragon appearing in the city completely flooded by the lake, thinking of the disaster that Priestra had just encountered in the water gate city, the survivors who thought there must be something to do with each other, turned around and ran away in the "heavy rain".

Looking at their panic, it was as if they wanted their parents to give them two more legs.

“!!”

"You guys, bring Firut and he will leave here immediately!"

When Reinharut saw a black dragon of such a huge size appeared, he immediately took a breath.

However, now he didn't care too much. After sternly scolding people to raise his still unconscious grandfather Wilheim and Firut, who was a little at a loss, he pulled out his dragon sword for the third time, intending to fight against the third one today, which is also the most powerful enemy in comparison.

“…”

The protection of the cloud!

Reinharut applied the protection of the cloud to himself, allowing him to walk on the clouds in order to gain the nearly 'flying' ability to fight against the huge black dragon flying in the air.

Then, when Firut and others were carried by the mercenaries and knights to follow the chaotic crowd, he leaped high into the air with force with his feet, preparing to take the initiative, and try to attract the other party's attention to him before the Black Dragon began to attack the survivors, so as to gain enough time for the refugees near the four gates to evacuate.

“??”

"etc!"
