Chapter 1123 - The Battle In The Capital
~Vrrmmmmmm!
The vehicles drive forward without a care in the world, ready to storm the place silly.
Even if word got out from the gates, they would like to see how fast these people would be able to deliver the warning ssage to those far deep into the city.
Hey. Before word got to the Adonis leaders in the Palace, it shouldn’t already be too late.
No! Their vehicles might even arrive faster than whoever delivers word.
With that, they were off!
anwhile, within the enormous city, standing on the City walls, several Adonis guards patrolling there were still focused on their heated conversations.
"I can’t believe it! Where the hell do you suppose those people are hiding? F***! We’ve been searching for more than a year now, and they still haven’t been found yet!"
"Yeah. Even though we took over the entire, if we don’t get the heads of the royals and their main supporters here, then we haven’t fully won yet. The leaders need their heads on wooden stakes for us to do the Adonis rituals."
"Heh. I have a feeling that it won’t be long before we find them. After all, how could one stay hidden for this long? Sooner or later, it will all co to light, and by then, their deaths will be more brutal than what we originally planned. Just look at how much they delayed our grand plans?"
Everyone was boiling in with rage when they thought of the royals and the many people who fled.
Unlike many other regions, they got wind of the destruction from soone who fled 3 towns and a few villages away from the Capital when his Town was being destroyed.
He had been hunting up the mountains and was still descending when he saw the carnage; he observed in horror for a while, and only after listening to strange words did he know that they were foreigners, even their skin tone told him otherwise.
From there, he snuck away and dashed as fast as he could towards the Capital.
He wasted no ti in making a commotion around the Palace gates when he demanded to report this matter at once.
After all, his only family, A.K.A his grandfather was still within that town, and he wanted warriors to head there and save his grandfather.
His words were noted and quickly passed on.
Of course, even inter-empire fights were taken seriously.
But this one to them was extre because it was so disrespectful and an insult to them.
How can foreigners co in and start evading their empire at will?
This was a clear sign of trouble.
.
The man retold all he saw.
And when word reached the royals, the elders and those in the inner circle, their eyes grew grim.
They were thinking of sothing else instead.
That’s right.
She stayed in a coma for several days, which was too long from her usual few hours.
But now that this report had co in, they instantly understood how grave the matter was.
Thus, they quickly started taking people into batches, using the secret city entrance that only the royal family and main elders knew of.
It was built ages ago, and over ti, from generation to generation, it had been forgotten.
But it was there.
It was a mini-city, built in hiding but too far away from the Capital City.
It also had 2 entrances/exits as well.
The first one was through the Palace, and the next exit was through a forest region extrely far away from the Capital city.
In fact, this was how Javis and the rest fled after Lucia woke up.
From there, they spent close to another month and a half heading towards the Coast and getting a ship as fast as they could.
.
Anyway, when the hunter had brought in the ssage, the Adonis people, who were on their way to the Capital, spent ti fighting and claiming the territories via route, giving them more ti to round up people and flee.
And thus, the Royals began inviting families to the Palace, but those families never went back.
And by the ti word ca out that the Capital city gates were under attack, a few generals and worries chose to fight on and protect the place, buying more ti for a few more people to flee.
And when Word ca that the city had been breached, the secret passage was closed.
So far, they had saved 65~70% of people in the Capital.
And even those who stayed behind didn’t know or understand where everyone else went.
To them, they just assud that everyone else was probably killed when these Adonis people attacked.
So no matter how the Adonis people asked, they couldn’t get any hints or answers.
After all, when fleeing, those who managed to escape had been told to head to the Palace with their families in secret.
They were indirectly escorted by guards in ordinary attire, who took them around the city before heading towards the palace.
So it seed like they had left their hos and headed towards the markets or even headed out as usual.
It was also during that ti that the Adonis people concluded that those who escaped probably secretly discovered them and fled out of the city earlier on.
And that’s when they began their intimate search, trying to cover as much Zalipnian ground as they could.
But sadly, they didn’t find these people at all.
So, could it be that they managed to flee soti this past year and had taken refuge in a neighbouring empire?
The Adonis followers first thought this, but sothing told them that they should still be in Zalipnia.
After all, it was too strange for the majority of the population to vanish for so long with almost none of them caught or no words of finding people in the woods or fleeing.
The search had always been on!
.
Thinking of all the delays in their grand sche of things, these Adonis warriors spoke passionately about their hatred for the Zalipnians.
But soon, sothing else made them pause.
EH?
The group of guards in that heated conversation weren’t the only ones to notice the strange speeding black carriage headed their way.
What was this?
How could carriages speed this much? And where were the horses?
The more they looked, the more they were sure that these didn’t belong to them.
They thinned their lips, their eyes, having a very uneasy feeling about it.
Could it be an invasion?
But if that’s the case, then where are the weapons?
They looked at the many carriages that were more than they could count and felt a headache co upon them.
What do they do?
They didn’t get wind of such things or cover this in training.
So what now?
No! They had to report the matter and get orders.
And this, in a heartbeat, chaos had already engulfed them all.
"close the gates!"
"Archers take position! Be ready to rain arrows at them if they try any funny business!"
"Quick! Get His Holy Defender Gerald and inform him of the matter!"
"Everyone, for Adonis, stand firm and await orders!"
"Yes!"
.
~Din. Din. Din. Din. Din~~
Like so, the Adonis archers lined up against the walls, pointing their arrows at these strange carriages in silence and anxiety.
But before their emotions beca deep-rooted, sothing popped out from the top of 2 front carriages.
And the next thing they knew, sothing shot out from it and flew their way.
~Feeeeeu... Boom!
The entire world spun for many as the deafening sounds of thunder clapped around them, making them subconsciously lower their arrows and hold their ears out in pain.
But before that thought could even fester, a thick orange cloud covered them wholly, followed by a terrible wave of heat.
Burning. Burning.
Their bodies were on fire!
"Ahhhh!!!~~~"
They scread in agony as their bodies tore, taking them to hell and back.
And just like so, their body parts and blood perfectly scattered out, painting the place a deep shade of red.
~Pap. Pap. Pap. Pap.
It was raining n.
Those directly hit had perished without knowing just how they died.
But death by direct hit wasn’t the only sort of death many faced.
The strange wave of heat and force had directly thrown those close to the attack over the wall, falling several feet down flat.
And even with the snow below, it wasn’t enough to cushion their fall.
~Bam!
Countless people fell backwards, falling onto the city streets or areas below.
But that wasn’t all.
The stone rocks that got destroyed, also few alongside them, with so getting even more crushed by the falling disasters.
The fall and the massive stone had completely turned their bodies into paste, making a few very unrecognizable.
What happened made many die in pain.
Adonis... Adonis.... Where are you?
