This matter had already been approved by the vice-commander of the Dawn Knights, so after everyone had evacuated, the Void Forest was set ablaze.
The void energy extended all the way to the plains at the edge of the forest, turning even some grasslands into withered and dark colors. As long as they burn down this forest, the energy should stop spreading to the plains.
The burning forest emitted terrifying howls and wails, as if the entire forest had gained its own consciousness. In the early stages of the fire, a large number of magical beasts rushed out to fight the Dawn Knights to the death.
Ultimately, the monsters were no match for the knights, and the fire completely engulfed the entire Void Forest. Some Dawn Knights were observing the sky and the earth, not wanting the power of the Void to spread further because of the fire. Fortunately, this Void energy was neither volatile nor radioactive.
This is certainly good news.
At this time, the Dawn Knights of Kiriha Village also gathered with the Ninth Princess. Kiriha Village had been thoroughly searched, but there were no survivors.
"What terrifying power! Could this have been done by demons?"
"It doesn't seem like it. According to what the nobles and demon hunters in Dawn City said before, these powers appeared suddenly and indiscriminately covered the dead humans and vampires. The vampires even ran away. If it was really the work of the demons, they wouldn't have needed to do this."
On the way back, the Dawn Knights were abuzz with discussion, after all, the display of such power was too terrifying.
Not only does it spread extremely quickly, but humans corrupted by the void also become unrecognizable to their own family and descend into madness, undergoing drastic changes in their physical form.
To be honest, Dawn Knight almost threw up when he fought in Kiriha Village.
These demons and monsters are disgusting. They would rather fight the demons, at least the demons' appearance is more pleasing to the eye.
But what are these void creatures?
They should pay the knights for fighting them! It's such a drain on their mental and intellectual energy.
"This doesn't seem to be the way back to Dawn City?"
Looking at the direction they were heading, Liu Lang asked the Dawn Knight squad leader beside him with some confusion.
"Well... Dawn City has been destroyed. Although many people are willing to stay there to rebuild it, it is impossible for our Sixth Prince to stay there to help."
"The Sixth Prince is currently heading towards the City of Vastness, where we will merge onto the route back to the capital. Of course, if the Ninth Princess does not wish to return to the capital with the Sixth Prince, we can also send everyone back to the City of Dawn."
Hmm...
Before Liu Lang could speak, the Ninth Princess answered the Dawn Knight in a clear and firm voice.
"Things have come to this point... I may have no way out."
Since Sixth Brother is willing to return to the capital and face everything head-on, so can I!
Princess Veroshia's gaze became very serious at this moment.
Along the way, her entire knightly order perished, the village where they hid was invaded by the void, and even the spirit beasts could not escape the void's pursuit...
Even the City of Dawn, where many forces converged, was manipulated at will by the void!
Veroshia found it hard to imagine, and dared not imagine, the capital city as it is today.
She feared that after their last separation, her father would emerge from seclusion and allow the power of the void to corrupt everyone, and that she, as the archmage who held the trump card and hope, had been corrupted long ago.
Currently, only the necklace on her body still retains the Grand Mage's consciousness, and to awaken the Grand Mage, it is necessary to return to the capital.
Because the Archmage told Veroshia that to awaken him, they had to find the exiled general!
"What if... I mean, what if... the Great General was also corrupted by the void?"
Liu Lang asked the Ninth Princess with some concern.
The Ninth Princess also asked the Grand Master about his consciousness with the same concern.
"If he was also contaminated..."
Shiya, you'd better take a group of people and leave the Empire, the farther the better...
Humanity's hope cannot be dashed here. As long as you live, there is still a possibility of a counterattack against the Empire.
ha? !
Counterattack the Empire? Us?
Veroshia's eyes widened. What could they possibly rely on to launch a counterattack against the Empire? And wasn't the Archmage even more pessimistic than she was?
"This is no joke. Sagaros is a person with boundless destructive power."
The reason we were able to single-handedly withstand the army of the Netherworld Demon King back then was because he led the attack while I controlled the situation.
Verosia remained silent, but then a resolute look appeared on her face.
Even so, I will not give up!
I've figured it out. This is not only for my father, mother, and the royal family, but also for myself!
This time, I will not run away!
