Chapter 280 Return to the Theater (Part 2)
After sacrificing more than ten ships, Richard and his team successfully boarded the theater, but they did not receive the warm welcome from the Sluder Theater that they had expected. The area outside the theater was particularly deserted. If it were not for the sound of gunfire all around, Richard would have thought that he was standing in a conquered territory.
"What's going on? Why is there no one here? Is there a conspiracy?" Diluka flew to Richard's side and looked around vigilantly.
"I don't know, but no matter what the conspiracy is, since the enemy has given up the perimeter, then we will establish a foothold here. The artillery fire around the theater can't reach here. Let's build a large teleportation array and let our pilots rest. Freya, I'll leave the teleportation array to you, and everyone else, follow me! Stay alert, the enemy may rush out from anywhere at any time and attack us!"
The theater is still the same theater, but the entrance is not the same entrance. Richard, with Primatis, Dilukafina Lodge and a small team, is carefully looking for the entrance to the interior. In the final analysis, the theater is a spaceship, but people say it is a city. Richard believed it this time. The streets made up of various buildings and trees are difficult to walk even if there are no ambushes. Even with two people who have lived in the imperial capital since childhood as guides, it is inevitable to get lost.
After circling back again, Primadis covered his forehead speechlessly. Diluka looked at the sky and said, "It would be great if there were still people who could lead the way like last time."
Above the sky were Onyxia and several flying dragons with good eyesight, but they did not play the role they should have. The last guide Diluka mentioned was Ymir's soldiers. The last time Richard landed at the theater when Ymir attacked Slud, he only needed to follow the corpses along the way to find the way into the theater, and after entering, Menia would also show the way. This time, it won't be such a good thing. Speaking of Menia, she was also taken away from the theater by Richard. Although she was very reluctant, the power of magic will not change according to your own will. Now Menia was under guard and tied tightly with iron chains. This prisoner was very dishonest. After all, it was very difficult to make a person change his way of survival.
"Be careful!"
Fina suddenly shouted and jumped out from the side and back of Richard, holding up an umbrella to block Richard in front.
With a "bang", a black and shiny arrow was bounced off. Richard narrowed his eyes. If Fina hadn't reacted in time, he would have been pierced. Judging from the angle, it was shot at his brain. Although being pierced through the head would not kill him, it was still disgusting enough.
"Sniper! Where did it come from!" Diluka didn't react until the arrow was deflected.
"Over there!" Primadis, who is also a long-range weapon expert, pointed to the front. When the sniper found out that he was discovered, he walked out of the shadows. Fina's eyes widened. The sniper was none other than Menia, who was supposed to be imprisoned! Menia was holding a crossbow, surrounded by a group of self-destructing clay men.
"Humph! Great defense, you are such a nosy guy!" Menia threw away the crossbow and prepared to command the self-destructing clay men to attack.
"Sister! Don't go on like this! Why do we have to continue fighting!" Fina cried, hoping to reach a reconciliation with her sister. The sisters finally got "reunited", and she didn't want to separate again.
Menia shook her head: "No, Fina, you know nothing at all. Even if you come here, you can't defeat Srude. You don't know what kind of power the Demon King has! Do you think you can defeat Srude?"
"Lord Icha will definitely win. I have always believed in this!"
"This is the stupidest thing about you! Hopelessly stupid! Don't you and Rocky know about the ability of the Demon King? Didn't you escape from the Demon King last time? Ymir even lost his life! You can't possibly defeat the Demon King!" Menia shook his head angrily, and the self-explosive clay man also moved.
"Afraid?" Richard looked at Menia with some pity. What made her stand here was not her loyalty to Slud or the encouragement of the reward, but the fear deep in her bones. "Whether we say it is useless or you say it is useless, only the final result can give the answer. Compared with this, I am more curious about how you got out."
Menia smiled with some disdain: "When you were fighting with His Majesty Slud's troupe, you pushed all your troops to the front, and a small team easily rescued me."
Richard sighed slightly, so this deepened her fear, right? Even if she was captured, the devil's people would find her.
"Richard, what should we do? Should we attack now?" Diluka came over and whispered.
Richard glanced at Fina and replied, "No, wait a little longer, give Fina some time."
"Sir Richard?" Fina looked at Richard in surprise.
"Haven't you always wanted to reunite with your sister? Then you should try your best to convince your sister, and use your own strength to fulfill your wish. If you can't, I will help you."
After listening to Fina's story that day, Richard's heart has also undergone some subtle changes. Primadis behind Richard looked back and forth at Fina and Menia, with a strange expression on his face.
Primadis deliberately took two steps forward and showed a strange expression to Richard, as if to say, sisters.
Richard glared at her fiercely. Fina on the other side said with some emotion: "Thank you, Lord Richard, I will try my best to convince my sister."
"Huh?" Menia laughed when she heard Fina's words, "Convince me? This should be my speech! Fina, don't follow the bad master around you! Hurry up and come to me! Take back the heart of Yugdelsilu from Richard. Only in this way will I be qualified to ask for forgiveness from His Majesty the Demon King on your behalf. Only in this way can you survive!"
"Sister! What are you talking about! I will never do such a thing!" Fina's expression was a little complicated. Although Menia's tone was still so annoying, the content of her words was still worried about herself.
Menia looked at Fina with an unconvincing look on her face: "Fina! Come to me and you can live with me in the world. By then, our status will be incomparable to that of the gods and demons! You don't know how amazing this is! The victory and defeat have already been clear, why don't you understand!"
