Chapter 2216 '-') Current situation of the capital of Mitlan
After setting off a blazing fire that reached the sky, and saving those innocent women and girls who were captured and fucked by the beast ghosts until they were somewhat deformed, the omnipotent Queen Anne was immersed in the novelty.
The green-haired witch Shirji, who couldn't help themselves with her magic skills and spells, and Gus, who almost didn't get burned to death, embarked on their journey to an old place again.
Halfway through, the three of them discovered many bodies lying dead on the roadside.
However, surprisingly, the three of them also found a pair of dying refugees lying on the roadside. They were an old woman who was on the verge of death and a swaddled baby girl who also had little life left in her arms. When the three of them passed by, they
I almost didn't even have the air to breathe.
Gus, who has experienced war since he was a child, is used to seeing life and death, and for some reasons, his heart has become as hard as stone. Although Gus also discovered it, he didn't intend to pay attention to it at all. He just turned a blind eye and took a big stride.
I walked over without even intending to take a second look.
"!!"
However, the witch Shirji, who went out for the first time and saw such a miserable scene, would certainly not do what he did. She was startled when she noticed the abnormality, and then quickly stopped and came over to take a closer look.
.
"please wait!"
"Gus!"
"Come quickly and take a look!"
Gus, who knew he had nothing to do with a bad little girl, was a little angry, but he didn't bother too much. He just quickly looked at Shirji and asked if he wanted his help to thin the little girl down to nothing but skin and bones.
The woman was carried away.
Therefore, what he paid more attention to was what the woman said later...
"It's probably not the fog, but that the royal city has really been dragged into the Netherworld, or has a certain area of ​​the Netherworld been summoned to reality?"
"I didn't expect that the situation in the capital of Milan would be so tragic!"
(^▽^)
"It turns out to be an aunt!"
"I only need your holy light now, and then my magic will restore them as quickly as possible!"
"I can save them, but you'd better have that determination!"
(…)
(￢￢.)
"Gus!"
"Sister Shierji, did you find something good?"
-
==()
(.)
"It turns out they are two dead people! It seems they are really alive!"
"..."
Then, Shirji quickly lowered his tone and pleaded like this.
"you're right!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
At this time, before Miss Shirji could speak, Annie answered first.
"besides!"
"Let's go to the small river in front. I saw it. There seems to be a broken mill?"
Unfortunately, Annie didn't pay attention to a certain bear. She just sat on its shoulder, lowered her head and teased the little one whose face turned better after taking a few mouthfuls of milk.
That is to say, the royal capital of Mitlan, that Wyndham City, has now become a dead city, a terrifying demon city inhabited by monsters and littered with corpses, like a ghost world!
"Then let's go!"
(ω)
"She hasn't learned it yet!"
"Huh?"
!(;o)o
"I thought she was an old woman just now!"
"..."
"Wingardim Leviosa!!"
(′～`●)
Anne didn't want to take action easily. After all, she was just following him when she was bored and could check the progress of certain things at any time.
Of course, the above is not important to Gus. He has seen a lot. After all, he knows better than anyone what kind of guys the mercenaries during the Hundred Years War were. Most of the time, they even fought with
Robbers and robbers all belong to the same family, and bullying the weak is commonplace, and even the early Eagle Group is said to be no exception.
The other party's attitude is so bad, why should she help?
"you……"
Without waiting for Gus to respond, Annie, who thought it was some fun or rare thing, just jumped off the shoulders of her little bear and jumped over quickly to join in the fun.
"If those things are really done by the person you want to deal with, I'm afraid your situation will be really difficult in the future."
"Those monsters and monsters are just summoned minions at best."
"rest?"
"No……"
Then, seeing Shirji's still stubborn expression, Gus had no choice but to persuade him in a retreating and second-rate manner.
"They need to eat first!"
After listening to the story of the woman wrapped in a blanket and sitting by the bonfire with her child in her arms, Gus couldn't help but be a little surprised to hear that the royal city had become like that. After sighing, he lowered his head and looked at the bonfire in silence.
I don't know what I'm thinking about either.
What's even more frightening is that all the men in the royal capital who dare to resist will be killed and become part of the "spectacle" in the city; while those who dare not resist will be directly killed.
He became a war slave, and then was armed by the Kusha people and escorted to the next territory and served as cannon fodder for the assault on the fortress and the various lords' military formations.
"The Kuxia people just occupied the city of Hununu, but they didn't expect..."
But it was good now. He had just been minding his own business when trouble came. He didn't know how much time he would be delayed in traveling.
Then, without Anne's consent, she stuffed the baby girl into a certain bear's arms without any explanation.
"That……"
"Nothing is more important than saving people!"
"Next we are going to cross the sphere of influence of those damn 'Eagles' and 'Kushyas'. Of course it is no problem that you and I have the ability to protect ourselves, but..."
(????)
(**;)
(Master, can the little one eat her?)
"!?"
"Ibarella's phosphorus powder is only useful for trauma, please!"
“But it’s only noon!!”
Gus first looked up at Shirji, then looked at the woman coaxing the child. In the end, he didn't say anything more, but slowly lowered his head and continued to stare at the bonfire with his one eye.
Seeing the face of the 'old woman' holding the child turn rosy, Anne was startled for a moment, and then she laughed sheepishly.
(ω)
"It looks pretty cute like this!"
That was Shirji. If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid he would have ignored me and walked away without even looking back.
"We have more important things to do."
Of course he has no objection to rescuing people, but after rescuing people, it will drag down his schedule and cause trouble for the rest of the journey, and then he will be distracted from protecting people, and even some changes may occur, which is a bit contrary.
His original intention, especially now that he has a strong purpose and must achieve it.
In the city that was originally the largest, most prosperous and most populous city in Mitlan, after it was captured by the Kusha people, all the prosperity in the past disappeared. Instead, it became a place inside and outside the city, except for corpses and corpses.
Or is it just corpse horror and ghosts?
According to the woman, within the originally magnificent and beautiful royal city, all the towers, all the squares, all the churches, roads and the spiers of various buildings, everywhere that could be seen were
Tens of thousands of corpses and heads were hung or hanged!
"this……"
Those Kusha people are really just as Gus guessed, they are all planned and driven by the 'Eagle' of 'light' and 'dark' who plays dual roles. In that case, things will
The truth is so terrible.
"don't want!"
Seeing that Gus still looked so selfish and withdrawn, Shirji became angry on the spot, so he pointed directly at the corpse lying on the ground around him, which had been eaten by the crows, and questioned him angrily.
road.
く(^_)ゝ
"If you are not even willing to save them, why do you think that by going to the city you mentioned, you will be able to ask others to answer your call and save yourself?"
"But you also saw it along the way."
Now, although the crows were frightened by their arrival and flew to the dead tree nearby, they had no intention of leaving. They were still looking at them and her greedily with their red eyes on the branches.
The pair of dying people below seemed to be waiting for the next big meal to arrive?
"As for the heavy fog covering the royal city..."
"There are so many people like this in this world now that we can't save them!"
After staring into Shirji's eyes for a while, Gus seemed to be convinced in the end, so he strode back again, walked to the old woman and the baby girl, knelt down and took a look, and then
He stretched out his hand and began to summon the Holy Light.
"Do you know that magic?"
Undoubtedly, those dozen of them were very lucky at that time.
Those women have never been seen again, and their final fate is currently unknown.
Then……
"Let's find a place to rest for the night!"
Soon, the faces of the two refugees who were on the verge of death gradually turned rosy under Gus's holy light. Although they still didn't wake up and were still very weak, at least they were not as pitiful as they first seemed.
And he looked like he was going to die at any time.
He looked at Shirji with some surprise, and then at the woman who was suspended in mid-air and could 'fly'. Gus opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just waved his hand, beckoning the other party to follow him towards the direction.
He walked towards the place he had just identified ahead that seemed suitable for camping and resting.
"because……"
"I know what you have experienced, and I know what you want to do most, but now, look at it, are the sufferings these people have experienced less than what you have experienced?"
Of course, given that the ignorant woman holding the child had just mentioned the name of 'Eagle' several times at this moment and her words were full of admiration and expectation, she did not dare to say too much here.
At this point, Shirji suddenly stopped talking and looked at Gus.
There were originally more than a dozen people who successfully escaped with their mother and daughter, but some of them got separated along the way. They met another group of guys who were not sure whether they were mercenaries or robbers. Her companions and husband were all killed.
They were the eaten corpses in the place where she was unconscious, and she also passed out immediately after being hit with a stick.
"..."
"With so many women to sacrifice, and so many corpses to decorate the whole city, I think those Kusha people must be trying to summon some terrible existence!"
Hahaha(*)
First she glanced at Shirji, who had a slightly rosy face, and then Annie laughed heartlessly.
"Gus..."
But anyway, since then, the capital of Mitlan has been gradually covered by heavy fog, and then a large number of monsters and ghosts have been summoned. The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled citizens are forced to hide in their homes to survive, or perhaps
They were hiding in Tibet with the small number of underground rebels.
With that said, Shirji stopped delaying.
"I'm sure I can do it!"
(^～^;)
"But it seems that death is not far away."
"you……"
"Do you need me to help you take her with you?"
In this way, the three people, one bear, and the two mother and daughter who were rescued halfway settled down in the dilapidated mill by the river not far away.
Unfortunately, Shirji didn't listen at all. Instead, he just shouted back with his lips pursed.
"All right!"
"I'll use a transfiguration magic to get a carriage out tomorrow, and then continue on my way?"
But it was useless. No matter whether they were hiding at home or in hiding, in that city, under the double intrusion of the Kusha people and those terrifying monsters, people could not see any hope at all except waiting to die.
.
As for young women, it’s even worse...
Under normal circumstances, Gus doesn't rest at noon. He travels from early morning to early evening, and then he finds a place to eat, rest and recuperate to prepare for the night.
It turns out that the other party is not from nearby, but escaped from Wyndham, the capital of the Kingdom of Midland?
(°°〃)
(He never expected that someone would take the initiative to put food into his paws, so Tibbers decisively turned his head and asked his troubled little master in his heart.)
"Wow!"
"It's useless to save them. Just don't care. It will only make them suffer more."
Gus made no more moves, nor did he look at Anne. He just stared at Shirji, then looked at the old woman who was being helped by the other party to lie down and the child in her arms, and then slightly
He frowned and said:
"Are you going to save them?"
"That's just an excuse for your indifference!"
"Gus!"
After a pause and asking Annie again, Gus suddenly suggested this again.
"Since you can, why don't you just change into a car first?"
All the women who were captured were taken to somewhere in the city. Except for some who were used as slaves and military prostitutes, most of them were said to have been kidnapped by the Kusha people to perform some kind of ritual.
This little thing didn't bother Shirji. She was seen waving the small wand that Anne gave her, and then she learned how to use it. She only made a small gesture, and the woman was really swaying.
levitated.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"..."
"We have been rushing here in the past few days. It's not like you don't know the conditions along the way. In addition to wild beasts, demons, undead and various monsters, there are only wild dogs and jackals that cannibalize people and make them red-eyed.
and crows, if they are rescued but ignored, they will not survive for three days!"
But no idea...
"Alas!"
Soon, after pouring most of the remaining jug of milk into the woman's mouth and seeing that the woman's breathing was gradually becoming more even, but she still had no intention of waking up, Shirji could only stand up again and suggested this.
(゜▽＾*)
At this time, the people outside were no better than the devils in the capital. The last few of them were still attacked, and if her mother and her husband hadn't met Gus and Shirji, they would have been alone.
I'm afraid it has become a delicious meal for crows or wild dogs now, right?
"!!"
"She's hungry, and she's not too old."
Shirji didn't refute, but just stared at Gus stubbornly, apparently acquiescing.
"And if it's just the Kusha people who did it, then you may have one more enemy to deal with."
Very likely……
"wrong!"
She first took out a kettle from her waist, filled it with the nutritional supplement that was filled in the morning, which was said to be the milk spring that Anne brought from the gourmet world, and carefully gave it to the baby first.
After feeding him several mouthfuls, he reached out and carefully took him out of the arms of the poor mother who was still unconscious.
And then...
Shirji was worthy of being the protégé of the witch Flora, so from a few words of that woman, she analyzed a lot of things and even hinted at some situations to Gus.
"Can't you just conjure up the carriage now?"
o(^｀)o
"If people don't want to help, you have to solve it yourself!"
However, because the woman's words seemed to hint at how people in the city worshiped and were waiting for the "Eagle" to be redeemed, she always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"why?"
"Something's not quite right."
"You are warmer, please give me a hug first."
Maybe it was because he saw the persistence on Shirji's face, plus the fact that he used magic to cover up the brand breath on the back of his neck almost every two days in the past few days so that he would not be exposed to the endless demons at night.
and the intrusion of evil spirits, so Gus thought about it and had to patiently persuade him a few more words.
"Need not!"
Then, after discovering that the two people who fell on the ground were not completely dead, and finding that there was still a chance to save them, she immediately shouted loudly to Gus, who had walked more than ten steps in front of her.
"Stop talking!"
"That's definitely not possible!"
"I'm afraid I don't have enough power to protect them. You may also know how powerful the apostle under the 'Eagle' is!"
However, the green-haired witch Shirji heard some different information.
"That's not a good thing."
So, one day about half a month ago, the woman who was rescued, her husband and a group of people who were not willing to wait for death decisively escaped with the help of a small group of rebels and suffered heavy casualties.
More than a dozen people.
"If you are worried, I will protect them along the way and won't let them get hurt!"
Thinking of the fire a few days ago, Gus did not doubt Shirji's ability to protect people. However, he still hesitated and stood unmoved more than ten steps away, making no move to come over.
the meaning of.
Gus was confused and didn't know what the two witches were doing.
Those Kusha people did not allow people to bury them, and just allowed them to rot and emit a horrible stench, turning the originally good city into a paradise for crows, rats and scavenging vultures, but those evil ones
The pagans were indifferent?
"No one will suffer more after being saved!"
"I always thought..."
"Tibbers!"
It was not until dark at night, when the woman finally woke up, that Annie, Gus and Shirji finally learned some important news from each other.
()
Seeing that it was not a fun thing, Anne curled her lips and climbed back onto the shoulders of the little bear who was walking over. Then she patted the little bear Tibbers on the head and asked him to take two steps back, and then moved towards the one in front of him.
Uncle Gus shouted to stop and turned around, but looked at the idiot Uncle Gus who didn't intend to come over.
"But……"
"??"
"..."
(￣～￣)Chew!
Anne, who was eating and had also heard everything, had no intention of talking or commenting.
Because she doesn't mind how complicated things are at all!
She only needs to see the results she wants to see. As for the eagle, the Kusha people, or the hands of gods and feet of demons, they have nothing to do with her!
