Chapter 445 After the End
By evening, everything was over.
All the remaining monsters inside the royal city were cleared out, including the beast-transformed members of the Light Eagle Group.
Some soldiers and nobles in the palace were also transformed into beasts. A small number were controlled, but more died.
We should send troops as soon as possible to capture the Light Eagle Group still in the camp, but people nowadays are unable to spare the energy.
It is currently impossible to measure how many residents in the city have died at the hands of monsters.
It is foreseeable that people will spend the next few days counting the dead and injured and carrying out reconstruction work.
For the royal city of a country, Eliphis' behavior was an unprecedented blasphemy and insult, and today it is destined to become a deep scar in the history of the kingdom.
But sorting out the historical significance is what scholars should do.
Those who survive today must continue to work hard to welcome tomorrow.
“Is it finally over?”
Princess Selene looked up at the sky, which at this moment presented a very special sight.
The golden skyline created by the brave Elsa still remains on the horizon, dazzling and making people feel hope just by looking at it. The sunset comes as usual, and the thin night sky and the red sunset complement each other, forming three wonderful colors with the skyline.
If the skyline was not there, this would be an ordinary evening like any other, as if the turmoil in Eliphis had never happened from the beginning to the end. For the world, the appearance or not of Eliphis, the collapse or survival of the royal city seemed to be no big deal and would not affect the operation of everything.
"rustle."
There seemed to be some movement behind her, and Selene dragged her tired body and turned to look.
He saw that the dragon-hunting spear that saved him from Eliphis was slowly dissipating and turning into starlight floating in the night sky.
Holding the lion ring tightly in her hand, she couldn't understand why Ornstein's weapon suddenly appeared here to save her life. Such a thing should not happen outside the dungeon.
But does she still need to think about the logic at this moment?
The hero she admired suddenly appeared by her side and saved her. Under normal circumstances, this would be a great joyous event that would make her shout for joy all day long. She dared to say that even Dal, who admired the Faran Undead Team as much as she admired Ornstein, had never been saved by the Faran Undead Team in this way!
Selene bowed deeply in the direction where the Dragon Hunting Spear had completely disappeared.
Then, her gaze changed from that of a glittering star-chasing girl to that of a princess as she gathered the remaining soldiers to put the final touches on the battlefield.
From now on, she will start to get down to business.
Somewhere in the collapsed Founding Square, the exhausted Leon was resting on a piece of rubble that fell from the collapsed platform.
In this battle concerning human lives, he could be said to have tried his best. All the magic power in his body was depleted, his backhand sword was broken, and the Ringed Knight's straight sword was in a state where it would be scrapped even without repair light powder. He didn't know how his left arm was broken in the melee, and he didn't have the magic power to heal himself.
"I'm so tired. I really want to rest by the campfire for a while."
Just as he let out a long sigh, he heard a group of people shouting excitedly in the distance, accompanied by the long howls of giant wolves. Without looking, he knew that it was the Fran guards celebrating their victory.
He seemed to have heard Malu sneak in and howled a few times, but it didn't matter, as long as she was happy.
After dealing with all the giant monsters in the square, Mr. Gapar left and went into the city to clean up the monsters that attacked the citizens. Now all the monsters should have been killed, and I wonder where they are resting.
"So you're here. I've been looking for you for a while. Here, this is my aunt's special healing potion, full of plant essences."
Stellan came to Leon with a basket full of healing potions and helped him heal his injuries. She was the second group of adventurers to come from Bed City and missed the most intense part of the battle, but her left bow that could shoot a large number of arrows in an instant was still impressive.
At this time, she was working with doctors and priests on the battlefield to treat the wounded.
Under the command of magic professors such as Vienma and Tulsi, the magicians turned into an all-purpose rescue team. In addition to dealing with various injured people, they were also responsible for temporary isolation of dangerous buildings and other tasks. They could be said to be a pile of bricks that were moved wherever they were needed, as if this was also the reason why magic was originally used.
Luluwo, Fingri and other adventurers who were brought into the Sen dungeon by Eliphis appeared soon after. After nervously asking about the battle situation and learning of the victory, the adventurers burst into cheers. Fingri showed an expression that seemed to be relieved and as if nothing happened, and walked out of the city alone.
The remaining people, under the command of the princess, hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield. It was messy at first, but soon became orderly.
"So you are here."
In a corner of the Founding Square, Luluwo smiled helplessly and found a girl who was avoiding the crowd.
Elsa looked at Luluwo with the dead eyes that appeared when all her emotions were burned out, and nodded after two minutes.
Luluwo sighed, "You are the hero of this time. How can you stay here? Going out and meeting people will help you recover."
As she said this, she wanted to carry Elsa on her back, but the huge sword she was holding was so heavy that she almost fell to the ground.
“.”
Luluwo put her hands on her hips and glared at Elsa, who seemed to be under pressure from her gaze and finally stood up and followed her silently.
"Look, look, it's her!" When Elsa walked to a crowded place, she was recognized on the spot.
"She, she's a hero, right? That's what I heard Eliphis shout."
"Who else but a brave man can defeat that kind of monster? And look, the look in this girl's eyes is so resolute and heroic. They are definitely eyes full of righteousness that only a brave man can possess!"
It was the first time that Luluwo had seen someone who could blow up his dead fish eyes like that.
"But, I've seen her in the Light Eagle Group. She's the captain of the Light Eagle Group, right? Why is the hero in the mercenary group?"
"Who cares? Maybe it's the hero who's lurking in secret!"
People seemed to have found the perfect and correct answer in their own conversations, so some people were so excited that they wanted to gather everyone to throw Elsa high up to express their infinite admiration for the hero.
However, the plan was ultimately aborted because Elsa refused to let go of her heavy sword.
The royal city did not sleep the entire night as people hurriedly dealt with the aftermath of the turmoil.
At midnight, Minister Oro, who had been confused before but has now recovered, and General Guillimanbo led their army, together with the defenders of the surrounding cities, to surround the camp of the Light Eagles and captured all the mercenaries.
Some mercenaries are indeed innocent, but there is nothing they can do. Since their leader has done such a thing, they will naturally be implicated and spend some time in jail. At least they cannot regain their freedom until the truth comes out.
"Something got away."
General Guillimanbo kicked open the door of Eliphith's house and sensed a demonic aura that was clearly different from that of Eliphith.
"Can we still catch up?" asked Minister Oro.
General Killimanbo followed the demon's aura and looked into the distance, frowning and saying, "We've been running for a while. It's been difficult."
At this moment, the old demon Dorian was running across the wasteland, covering his eyes tightly as he ran, with tears and blood flowing out from between his fingers.
"Ah! Ah! Hey!"
He was running and shouting like a madman, looking as if he was mentally ill, and his shouts were mostly filled with screams.
"I know, I know, I know what Lady Ounora is looking for!"
Before coming here, Onora gave Dorian an exclusive task to collect information on the use of the colored fallen devil eggs, and for this purpose she also made some special modifications to him.
In short, when the Colored Demon Egg is used, Dorian can actively obtain the user's vision, feelings and other information in a short period of time, and it is his task to carefully record this data and report it to Onora.
When he was knocked to the ground by Elsa's sword, he pretended to be dead and escaped. Elsa was in a hurry to return to the royal city at that time and didn't pay much attention to him.
After confirming that Elsa had really left, Dorian realized that the colored demon egg was being used by Eliphis, so he excitedly shared the other's senses, wanting to get the data as soon as possible and return to the Great Demon Castle to enjoy wealth and glory.
Then what did he see?
Yellow fire, black mud, red disease.
After watching the whole round, Dorian's mind went into a frenzy. He hurriedly ran out of the Light Eagle Group and ran aimlessly in the wilderness, trying to relieve his mental torture.
It was at this moment that he suddenly remembered what he had secretly heard Ounora entrust to the demon who brought the letter.
That is to find the abyss, and it would be best if we could bring back some!
Now Dorian was very sure that the black mud-like thing he saw was the abyss. He remembered Onora's instructions!
He couldn't run anymore, he had to find a way to bring back something related to the abyss!
If he could really bring the abyss back successfully, he would enjoy endless wealth and glory in this life, and by then he would marry ten wives with tentacles!
However, when he was thinking about how to do things with his crazy thoughts, he suddenly muttered to himself:
"But, I feel that the yellow flame is much more powerful than the abyss. I, I want that!"
Somehow, he suddenly looked down on Honora.
I feel that the other party doesn't know the value of the product.
"It's a bit crazy, it's a bit crazy, it's a bit crazy——"
A few days later, the reconstruction of the royal city was in full swing. With the personal supervision of Minister Oro, the reconstruction progressed quite quickly.
And today, Princess Celene convened a group of officials to discuss something that should have been done a long time ago.
"How to use the Thane Dungeon to save the king from his disease?"
This topic can be understood as:
"Is it time to send the king into the Thane dungeon?"
