Chapter 368 Mira and Her Loving Mother
The prince and his entourage had been moving in the upper city. Unknowingly, they had made a big circle with [Mother] and arrived at the highest side of the upper city.
You should know that the Upper City is surrounded by walls. Some places are just simple walls for partitions, while some places are as thick as city walls.
This is where the wall is the thickest.
The terrain is extremely different and there are high walls because below is the source of the chaos in Blood Harbor, which are the most chaotic slums in the lower city.
It is ironic that, separated by a wall, on the left is a neighborhood with wide streets and clean windows, while on the other side is a slum that is filthy and like hell.
The two sides talked so loudly that even the other side could hear them. Nobles often looked down from the city walls as if they were looking at the beasts in the Colosseum.
This is a "C"-shaped structure, and the prince and his entourage stood at the top of the city wall. They seemed to stop casually, but if they turned around and looked from behind, there was no way to retreat.
They were betting that the evil god would rush over regardless of the various buildings under his feet.
[Mother] did not care whether there were any buildings blocking her way. She just rushed forward, jumped over the wall, and stepped on the densely packed roofs of the lower city.
"There's an earthquake?!"
"What's going on?"
"Look! How did that monster sink?!"
The Crusaders were in chaos, but Kyle turned to look at his mother-in-law, a look of realization on her face.
Feeling Kyle's gaze, the mother-in-law pointed to the bell tower in the distance and said, "Look, [Mother] was originally over there."
"You mean?"
"This place was specially prepared! The prince and his men deliberately lured [Mother] here and trapped her in it!" The grandma's eyes flashed, and she stared at the huge pit. "No, it's not just that!"
At the edge of the pit on the other side, [Mother] fell and splashed dust all over the sky, and nothing could be seen for a moment.
The prince stood there expressionlessly, and said in a cold tone: "You know, I have long disliked this downtown area."
"Chaos, disorder, with layers of houses crookedly built together, and ancient sewers, no one knows where they lead to."
The dust gradually dissipated.
[Mother] was trapped in a pit. To be precise, it was not a pit. Her huge body crushed the rotten buildings in the lower city, and was smashed through the ground by inertia. She was stuck straight in the fragile and complicated sewer, and her body was covered in filth.
But if you look closely, around Him there is not only filth and garbage, but also wooden boxes.
Farther away, many port guards were retreating into the distance, and some wooden boxes that had not yet been thrown down were placed aside.
Just now, when the Crusaders and the prince and others were fighting with the [Mother], these port guards were carrying these boxes and continuously dropping them into the lower city area in front of them.
"Is this your plan, Isabella?"
In mid-air, the prince's soul looked at the [Mother] who was trapped in the ground in shock, but when he turned to look at Isabella, he was shocked.
Isabella's expression was almost twisted with anger. She squeezed out words from between her teeth: "Plan? How can I have time to plan? This is the gunpowder I worked so hard to stockpile! The ships I seized and the money I looted from the nobles were all exchanged for these boxes. They were originally prepared for the war with the Holy See, but now they are going to be wasted here!"
There were an astonishing number of wooden boxes in the pit, densely packed everywhere, and there were also a lot of messy incendiary materials. Time was running out, so the port guards emptied the nearby warehouses and piled them all here.
"Light a fire! Burn this monster to death!!!" She roared angrily, then took out a musket from her waist and fired downwards with hatred on her face.
Other harbor guards also began to move. Some aimed their muskets at the wooden boxes and fired, some threw torches, and some shot flaming arrows with crossbows.
Time seemed to slow down a little, and rays of fire shot towards the bottom of the pit.
boom!!!!
Orange and black flames burst out from the ground, and the mountain of flesh stuck on the ground let out a wail.
One loud bang was followed by another, and orange-red flames lit up around [Mother]. For the first time, this huge monster that blocked out the sky and the sun was blocked.
The effect of the explosion far exceeded the expectations of the port guards. Some people who were close to it were even swept up in the explosion. Galahad carried Isabella and rushed away from the explosion point. Isabella's face showed visible pain.
"You deserve to go to hell, you shit-eating horse-faced fish, you dirty maggots, my gunpowder, my money, ah ah ah!!"
The huge explosion sounded throughout Blood Harbor, and all the Crusaders fell to the ground one after another. Only Granny remained standing there, watching the explosion and was moved by it.
The explosion was extremely loud, and the gunpowder that filled the entire pit instantly burst into the brightest light. Since the invention of this alchemical item, it has never been used so luxuriously.
Even the Royal Army, which never lacked military funds, only used it as propellant for muskets. Its explosive power was even greater, and everyone knew this, but no one had ever used it directly to injure the enemy.
——Because this gunpowder is too expensive.
Alchemists often have unclear connections with the major churches. The formula of gunpowder is top secret, but there must be some extraordinary substances that are effective.
Things related to the extraordinary are synonymous with extremely low production and high prices. Even someone as wealthy as the Empress of the Empire would not dare to waste them like this.
The gunpowder in the pit before her eyes was obtained by Isabella by emptying the entire Blood Harbor and even seizing the ships of merchants. This astronomical wealth was destroyed in just a few breaths.
The smoke gradually died down.
"I didn't expect this would be the ending. I really underestimated the prince." Kyle patted the dirt off his body and stood up.
The intensity of the explosion just now could have sent a bunch of sea urchin monsters into the sky. The Crusaders were all full of worshippers, so he wouldn't have made a mistake.
With the physique of [Mother], she cannot withstand this explosion. Her body is not as hard as that of the sea urchin monster.
When the dust settled, the huge mountain of meat was almost shattered. It turned into a pool of meat paste, filling the pit underground.
The Crusaders stood up with puzzled expressions, their faces somewhat complicated - their impression of the prince was much better, as a large number of admirers could never resist a grand explosion.
The harbor guards in the distance have begun cheering. After all, they all grew up in Blood Harbor and this is their hometown.
Only the mother-in-law was still frowning, staring at the dent.
Suddenly, her expression changed.
"No! That evil god is not dead yet!!"
