Hate me, Miss Witch

Chapter 70: The name - Royal Power (please order first!)

When Chara appeared in the city under the mountain holding Sylvia in her arms.

What came into view was a sea of ​​burning fire.

The hot flames are surging, licking every inch of stone and every roof in the city.

The strong wind carried the smoke and dust, bringing with it the decaying smell of ashes.

Xia Ya frowned, turned slightly sideways, and used the windbreaker behind him to shield the unconscious Sylvia in his arms from the dust.

……

This ancient king's capital named Cang Ting is heading towards destruction unstoppably.

Fire is just the second thing. In this world where extraordinary power exists, if it is just a simple fire, then just sending a few water-attribute kings of level 4 or above can completely extinguish the monstrous fire.

The source of the disaster is the beast that is rampant among the cities.

Their bodies were shrouded in dim yellow light, and they were huge in stature. They shuttled between the buildings in the capital of Cangting, trampling every private house into dust.

Through the dusk halo, you can see the inner appearance of the disaster beasts. They are basically the common pet species in the wild in the Principality of Cangting, such as the woolly mammoth with long hair, and the tortoise with an ancient tree growing on its shell.

Most of them are herbivorous races, and they rarely actively harm others under normal circumstances.

However, driven by the dim light, these usually gentle giant beasts were now inspired with bloodthirsty beasts, and were rampaging crazily in the capital, destroying everything in it.

The guards stationed in the royal city gathered in twos and threes on the city wall, and the roar of the magic turret resounded through the sky.

The magic cannonballs exploded on the flesh and blood of the disaster beasts, blood splashed all over the ground, and the bodies of these giant beasts also became bloody, and they fell to the ground after letting out a mournful cry——

But soon, new beasts shrouded in dim light followed one after another.

Facing the power of the magic turret, it was like going against the instinct of a creature and never fearing death.

"Damn it, aren't these things afraid of death?"

On the city wall, a young garrison soldier slapped his palm on the stone wall beside him, and dust fell.

Next to him, the barrel of the magic turret had turned red and was burning hot.

On the mysterious magic circle, sharp alarms sounded one after another, indicating that the load capacity of this magic cannon has reached its limit, and it may explode at any time if it does not cool down.

But even if the magic turret's firepower was used to its limit, the violent tide of disaster beasts in the royal city showed no sign of diminishing.

"This kind of dim light makes pet beasts go into a rage, lose their rationality and lose control..."

"It reminds me of the disaster more than ten years ago. It's exactly the same."

The old soldier captain looked at the crumbling and burning royal city below the city wall and sighed.

The geographical location of Cangting Principality is extremely awkward.

Its border is directly adjacent to the Lost Kingdom, and it may face the threats of desolate beasts and abyss at any time.

Therefore, most of the elite troops in Cangting Principality, as well as many high-level beast masters, are basically stationed at the border for a long time to deal with wars that may break out at any time.

It is also for the same reason that the garrison troops left behind in the capital of Cangting are basically old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are few high-level beast masters of the third ring.

Faced with the cruel situation of the beasts attacking the city, they had no other way to deal with it except relying on magic cannons to cause damage.

If they really want to go out in person to fight these giant beasts that have been transformed by the dim light, then with the strength of their first and second ring beast masters, they will be trampled to pieces by these behemoths in minutes, and they will just die in vain.

boom--

A loud noise was heard, and another magic cannon exploded in the distance.

The huge magic shock caused serious injuries to several surrounding soldiers who were responsible for controlling the magic cannon. The comrades beside them hurriedly carried them down and began rescue operations.

"Captain, 90% of the magic cannons are already overloaded——"

"If this continues..."

The hurried report was interrupted by the old soldier captain raising his hand.

"It goes without saying."

"Give up the magic cannon."

"All garrison troops should withdraw the city walls to avoid fighting and help the residents in the city evacuate."

The sudden order caused the surrounding soldiers to freeze on the spot.

"Has it reached this point?"

"Is the royal city gone..."

A young soldier murmured softly, with confusion in his eyes.

This is a symbol of the entire Cangting, and it is also the hometown where they grew up.

Even in the catastrophe more than ten years ago, the royal capital was not completely destroyed and quickly completed its recovery.

But at this moment, they had to give up here.

But soon, the soldiers' confusion was interrupted by the rapid scolding of the soldier captain.

"A house can be rebuilt if it falls down, a city can be rebuilt if it is gone, but when a person dies, there is nothing left!"

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and evacuate the people!"

The surrounding soldiers came to their senses one after another, followed the orders, and ran toward the residential areas below the city wall.

Only the old soldier captain was still standing on the city wall, looking at the crumbling city below with his cloudy old eyes.

Facing those young soldiers who were strong-blooded but immature and would be at a loss if they encountered any setbacks, he hid something that he didn't say.

in fact--

These beasts can be stopped.

Although there are no high-level experts in the garrison remaining in the royal capital, it is difficult to stop those crazy monsters.

However, the royal capital is also the family home of the Grand Duke Brunstadt's family.

There are still a few elders in the Brunstadt family who stay in the royal capital and have reached the fourth ring of strength. If they can work together and cooperate with the Brunstadt family's various backgrounds and trump cards, they might not be able to drive these giant beasts out of the Cangting capital and protect the city.

After all, although these disaster beasts are violent, they have no intelligence at all, and they are bound to be no match for opponents of the same level.

Just like what Archduke Brunstadt did in that disaster more than ten years ago.

but--

More than half an hour had passed since the commotion broke out in the city, and then the beast tide rolled over the town unscrupulously. Even ordinary soldiers like them in the first and second rings had already reacted.

But the grand and luxurious grand duke's residence in the center of the royal capital was still quiet at this time, without any movement.

Something happened to the Brunstadt family...

This is the most terrifying truth that the soldier captain tried his best to hide——

Houses can be rebuilt if they are gone, cities can be rebuilt if they are gone, and to put it bluntly, people can be regenerated if they are gone.

But if the Grand Duke family, which gathers the people's wishes, and the Grand Duke Brunstadt, the guardian of the country, are gone...

Then this kingdom called Cangting may really be reduced to history.

And those of them who lost their hometowns could only become refugees fleeing from disasters.

Wandering between different countries, never returning home.

……

Char held Sylvia in her arms like a princess, and silently walked through the ruins of the royal capital.

There was a faint silver moonlight spinning in his eyes.

One after another, the huge twilight beasts stepped past him, destroying everything along the way, and the noise was deafening, but they all turned a blind eye to Xia Ya.

There was even a fire giant lizard whose path coincided with Char's.

But when the two were about to collide, the figure of the fire giant lizard gave way slightly and happened to pass by each other.

Such a strange sight naturally quickly attracted the attention of those who were interested.

After Xiaya turned a corner, figures in yellow robes quietly appeared on the ruins everywhere, quietly surrounding him.

A person who seemed to be the leader stepped forward.

First, he glanced at Xia Ya's calm face with his sinister eyes, and shook his head as if he didn't find anything.

But then, the man in black robe fixed his gaze on the girl who was sleeping peacefully in Xia Ya's arms.

"The only daughter of Archduke Brunstadt...Sylvia Brunstadt."

"At the same time, it is also the key to unlocking the Lord's seal and allowing dusk to come to the world again."

There was incredible ecstasy in that hoarse voice.

Almost at the same time that the leader said these words, streams of light summoned by pet beasts flashed quickly.

Either strong, mighty, or dark... Dozens of qi machines were locked on Xia Ya's body at the same time.

There were not many words, and there was no question about Xia Ya's identity.

As soon as this group of cultists appeared on the scene, they launched an offensive against Char without reservation.
  They were indeed in contact with Norton, and it was not impossible to guess that the young man in front of them might be a subordinate sent by Norton to control Sylvia.

However, as Norton said... the alliance between Norton and the cultists only lasted until the chaos broke out.

Sylvia.

This is a key that can peek into the divine realm.

No one would trust it in the hands of others, even if the other party may be their friendly army.

Wind blade, thunder, fireball, water column, energy bomb...

Countless offensive skills were activated.

The colorful lights that lit up at the same time illuminated Xia Ya's dark eyes.

"I actually rarely kill people. Even if there is a way to kill someone, I prefer to use illusions to knock them out and then tie them up and take them to the command bureau in exchange for a reward."

"But, I'm in a bad mood today -"

"Looking at a girl who loves me to death, begging for me with eyes like an abandoned pet, it feels really uncomfortable..."

A quiet sigh sounded.

next moment.

Within a hundred meters of the surrounding area, every cultist who was hostile to Char was pulled by some inexplicable force to raise his head.

What caught their eyes was a pair of golden eyes that had changed color from pitch black at some point.

Burning and dazzling, the light is like daylight, like flowing lava.

It's like the eyes of a pure-blood dragon, and like the eyes of God overlooking all living beings from above the clouds.

The moment he saw those golden eyes.

In the heart of every cultist, the original extremely pious faith was shaken, and instead, an urge to worship the owner of the golden eyes arose.

It seems that the owner of these golden eyes at this moment is not the enemy who wants to compete with him for the key, but the king who sits on the majestic throne, and he and others are the other party's ministers.

In the skill introduction of the red "Heart of Overlord", there is only a short description - "the potential to become a king".

What Xia showed at this moment was the advanced ability derived from "Heart of Overlord" after reaching perfect proficiency.

Its name is——

"Kingdom".
