The dark clouds in the sky were still low, and the twin sisters Emilia and Anne, as well as Ram and Rem, were on their way to the city hall in a hurry.
At this time, the entire watergate city was in chaos!
Whether it is in the waterways where large and small meet, or in the various streets on land, countless citizens are crowding together in a panic, trying to escape on water dragons or ground dragons, wanting to go home as soon as possible or find a place to go. To escape, or do you want to simply take the opportunity to escape from the city?
There is no one in the entire Lugnica Kingdom who doesn’t know how terrifying the Witch Cult is!
But now, those who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals often take the lives of innocent people and cause a large number of casualties every time they appear in a place. They are considered the most malicious organization, the Witch Cult, and they are here.
Therefore, in order to survive, for the safety of themselves and their families, and the safety of their property, they had to run!
"this……"
"It's so bad!"
Seeing the originally peaceful, prosperous and beautiful Watergate City of Priestela turn into the chaotic state it is now, it would be impossible for Emilia not to feel distressed and sad!
However, no matter how sad or sad she was, she had no ability to stop or comfort those confused people.
Even if she wanted to, she knew that it would be useless, because she had no influence at all in this city, and the citizens did not know her. In fact, she might even cause greater controversy because of her appearance. fear?
You know, the silver-haired half-elf is the appearance of the legendary jealous witch Satella, especially in a city where the Witch Cult made a surprise attack on the city, announcing its occupation of the city hall and attacking the four water gate towers and certain urban areas. At that time, if she ran into the crowd and shouted loudly to calm people down, apart from creating greater panic in turn, she really couldn't think of any better result.
So now, in addition to taking the two Ramrem sisters and a little guy who still looked reluctant, she rushed towards the city hall and tried to regain that important central place, and then issued a city broadcast to appease the citizens and maintain order. Apart from that, there really isn't much she can do.
'Run! '
'The villain from the Witch Cult is killing people again...'
'quick! '
'Run! ! ! '
'This way...'
'Help, help! ! '
'Get out of here! ! '
At this time, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the street in front, and then, someone almost knocked Emilia to the ground?
After bumping into Emilia, the man not only didn't stop to apologize, but turned around and cursed fiercely while running. Then he followed his companions, hurriedly supporting each other towards the front and away. He ran away in panic in the direction of the city hall.
"not good!"
"The situation seems to be getting more and more serious..."
Just now, when Emilia, Crusch, Felt, Priscilla, Anastasia and others were discussing countermeasures and actively preparing to arrange tasks in the Water Hauge Pavilion Inn, Mimi Palbaton and others Someone suddenly broke in and reported the information about the large-scale appearance of the Witch Cult.
Then……
Before they could recover, a city-wide announcement was made from the direction of the city hall.
There was a guy who claimed to be the Lugnica royal family, and the other person claimed to be the Archbishop of Lust, Capela Emeralda Lugnica, the Archbishop of Witch Cult. That guy was proud of himself by announcing the fact that she had occupied the city hall Are you claiming that the Witch Cult has taken over Watergate City?
As a result, Emilia and others no longer bothered to continue discussing countermeasures, and directly acted separately according to the immature plan that had been agreed upon, heading towards the major urban areas and the Watergate Tower respectively, intending to defend the important ones first. , a tall tower that can control water flow, and then talk about other things.
Emilia naturally received the task of regaining the city hall and pacifying the people, which is why she hurried towards the city hall with Ram, Rem and Annie.
Although she didn't know the current situation in the city hall and the strength of the enemy's troops, Emilia had no choice. Whether it was out of duty or sympathy, she had to do this!
Of course, Frandelica was not taken along by her, but was left in the Water Haugetei Inn to guard the ceremony, the dragon chariot, and their one who has not yet been discovered and attacked by the Witch Cult. 'Coalition Forces' base camp.
"That's right!"
"It should be in this direction..."
"We should be there in ten minutes, let's go, we have to hurry up!"
Looking at the street map in her hand, and then at the landmark buildings nearby, Emilia quickly figured out the situation, and then she didn't want to waste time asking the panicked people who rushed past from time to time, and just took the two A maid and a reluctant little girl moved quickly in the direction of the city hall.
"Lady Emilia?"
"??"
"What's wrong, Rem?"
"Is such that……"
"The person who just broadcasted and announced the occupation of this city in the city hall, is it really the royal family of the Lugnika royal family?"
"..."
"Feel sorry!"
"I don't know either..."
Hearing Rem's sudden question, Emilia knew what Rem was worried about, and Emilia, who was trying to identify the direction and move forward, couldn't help but darken her face, and began to explain roughly to the two twin sisters:
"However, according to what Crusch said when we were in the Water Hauge Pavilion, the name 'Emeralda Lugnica' must indeed be that of the Lugnica Kingdom fifty years ago. There is no doubt the princess’s name.”
"However, the other party should have died of illness at a young age..."
"and……"
"It is said that the princess from fifty years ago had an extremely violent and cruel character. She had immeasurable darkness towards outsiders and was very terrifying?"
"It is precisely because of that that fifty years ago, she was always regarded as a heretic in the Lugnica royal family. After her death, the kingdom not only did not lament her death, but even carried out the procedures that were supposed to be carried out. The state funeral was omitted and the event was not publicized."
"Are you saying that the people do not emotionally expect or recognize such a princess?"
"As for why the name of the Priest of the Sin of Lust has the words 'Emeralda Lugnica' in it, the reason is currently unknown."
"However, before setting off, Crusch and Wilhelm speculated that there might be some relationship between the bloodline of Capella and the Lugnika royal family. After all, when the princess was declared dead, No one has seen her body..."
"so!"
"This is indeed a very troublesome thing..."
As she spoke, Emilia herself couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Thinking about it carefully, now her five candidates for the throne, Emilia, Crusch, Priscilla, Anastasia, and Felt, have gathered together and come to the water gate city Priestela, but the result …
But they encountered a princess who claimed to be the only surviving royal bloodline in the kingdom, and who was declared dead or missing fifty years ago. This was indeed embarrassing and troublesome for them.
"Trouble?"
"Um……"
"It's indeed a bit troublesome..."
Although they are only maids, the two sisters Ram and Rem can also understand the embarrassing situation of Emilia and other candidates for the throne at this time.
"Then, Lady Emilia!"
"Later, what are we going to do after we meet that Capella Emeralda Lugnika?"
Therefore, the two sisters looked at each other and then hesitantly asked Emilia, wanting to ask each other's opinion first.
"What else can be done?"
"The first priority now is to retake the city hall first. We can't let the Witch Cult continue to cause panic and massacre in the city, right?"
"As for Capella Emeralda Lugnica..."
Although Capella Emeralda Lugnica has claimed to be a member of the Witch Cult, and is also one of the Sin Archbishops of the Witch Cult, the Priest of Lust, and even attacked the city hall and probably killed the people there. officials and guards, but Emilia still feels that when confronting the opponent, she must not kill the opponent directly, otherwise, things will only become more troublesome?
Of course, you can’t just let the other party run away easily!
Although Crusch and the others have already set off for their respective mission goals, Emilia knows that they must be paying close attention to every move in the city hall, so she is trying to seize the opportunity to return to the city hall. At the same time, we must also give them a satisfactory answer.
"Let's wait and see what happens later!"
"Anyway!"
"Our primary goal is to retake City Hall and stabilize order. As for anything else, we can only make decisions on the fly."
Shaking her head and smiling bitterly, Emilia couldn't make a judgment without being sure of the true strength and specific circumstances of Capella Emeralda Lugnica, and she didn't dare to make an arbitrary decision at this time. Express your intention to capture the opponent alive.
"Um!"
Nodding, Rem couldn't say much after seeing Emilia's uncertain statement, so he could only continue to walk quickly behind.
"Hello!"
(｀ε′)|
"How far is it?"
(?????)
"I'm a little tired..."
(??.??)
"Also, it's almost lunch time!"
?(????)?
There is no doubt that this is what Anne cares about the most!
Although Anne usually doesn't eat lunch on time, since she got up early today, she must also want to be able to do specific things at a specific time, such as going to eat a delicious meal. ?
"this……"
"According to what's marked on the street map, we may have to take a detour..."
Emilia, who continued to lead the way and trotted along, glanced down at the map in her hand, and then said helplessly.
Originally, they could take the water dragon boat to the city hall, which would be faster!
However, there were only four water dragon boats on standby at the inn at that time, and Crusch and Felt needed to immediately support the four water gates that were being attacked by the followers of the Witch Cult. That was the most important thing. The matter was related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of residents in the entire city, so Emilia took the initiative to give up all the boats to them at that time, and decided to walk to the city hall instead.
But now, she suddenly regretted it.
To be honest, she didn't expect that walking from the city hall, which was so quick and easy by water, would turn out to be so winding after walking by land. Even with a map, she felt a little bit confused. Too much?
No wonder...
No wonder that when Frandelica drove the dragon carriage to the inn the day before yesterday, she didn't arrive until dusk, exhausted, and meet them again. So this was actually what happened?
"Still going around?"
ヽ(′～｀;)??
Annie felt a little unable to walk.
If there was something delicious and fun in the city hall, she would definitely be more proactive than anyone else, and she could even use teleportation to fly there in a swish.
However, there is nothing interesting in the city hall now. There are only a group of boring Witch Cult believers entrenched there. Not only is there no good food and fun, but there are only a lot of disgusting dead bodies and so on. Therefore, she I really lack interest and am not willing to go to such a boring place before I have lunch.
"It's going to be quick!"
"Well……"
"It should be faster from this way?"
Emilia, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped. After looking at the map, she turned around and took the lead into a smaller, more remote alley with almost no pedestrians.
"correct!"
"Annie, why did you just tell us about the Witch Cult today?"
After running forward for a while, Emilia suddenly turned back and asked with some complaint.
Right now, under the surprise attack of the Witch Cult, the city is in chaos. The city hall has instantly fallen into the hands of the enemy. Even the four water gates are being attacked by the enemy and may fall at any time. Therefore, Emilia can't help but feel a little annoyed. , I felt that a certain troubled little girl yesterday should have told them about that matter as soon as possible. In that case, maybe they would have enough time to react and prepare?
If we could have one more night and one more morning, the current situation would definitely be different, right?
"Because you didn't even ask!"
(￢д￢.)
"It's just a boring bandage weirdo. It's not something important. Why are people talking about it?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Anne curled her lips in disdain.
Things like the bandage weirdo are indeed not a big deal to her. Anyway, the other person was just hurt by her secretly tricking her. Maybe he is hiding somewhere now, crying and licking his wounds. , that kind of thing about playing tricks on others, she can just secretly enjoy it herself, so how can she take the initiative to publicize it to others everywhere?
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"ah?!"
Hearing that Annie actually said that the Witch Cult was not a big deal, Emilia was shocked and at a loss. She stumbled as she ran forward, and almost fell into the flowing stream next to the trail. In the small ditch.
However, in the end, she did not choose to stop arguing with Annie, because now was not the time to talk about that kind of thing. At the same time, she also knew that no matter whether it was wrong or right, and regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, she was definitely talking nonsense. But that bad little girl's.
"..."
"..."
The two twin maids, Ram and Rem, looked at each other quietly, and finally exchanged an indifferent look, and then continued running forward without expressing any opinions or opinions.
They don't think their Master Anne is at fault!
Anyway, they only know that as long as it is something Master Anne says and does, it is all right, even if it is wrong!
"Almost there!"
"If we follow the map exactly, we may need to take a long detour and pass two or three bridges. But now that the matter is urgent, let's take a shortcut and jump over the not-so-wide water fork in front!"
"The water channel is marked on the top, and the width is about fifty steps..."
"Ram! Rem!"
"You shouldn't have any problems, right?"
At this time, Emilia, who was leading the way, had already heard the sound of the rushing water, the water dragons in the waterway, and the roars and shouts of the boatmen.
From this it can be seen that she did not lead the wrong way. As long as they jumped from the front, they could save at least half of the journey.
"no problem!"
"Rem and I can just jump over there!"
"!?"
Just as he was talking, two masked men, all hidden in dark red robes, suddenly jumped out of the broken windows of the buildings on both sides of the street. As soon as they stretched out their hands, they used several flying swords to attack Ram, Rem, and those running in front. Emilia launched a surprise attack.
"It's the enemy!"
"Parker!!"
Seeing this, Emilia didn't waste time, nor her magic power. Instead, she took advantage of the fact that it was daytime and called her elf helper.
"Do not worry!"
"Emilia, as long as I'm here, there will be no problem!"
clang! clang!
In an instant, all those flying swords were blocked by the magic of the great elf Parker and bounced away.
At the same time, Parker's ice crystal magic began to fight back.
Whoosh~! Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
Almost instantly, they attacked the two Witch Cult villains who rushed out of the broken window of the house with conspicuous blood stains on their bodies and did not have time to land. They penetrated them and nailed them all. on the wall.
"quick!"
"accelerate!"
"Let's jump over here!"
Continuing forward to get closer to the waterway, Emilia could already see the chaotic scene of the ships in the waterway that were maneuvering the water dragons in panic and crowded together.
However, she didn't have the mind to care about so many things. Taking advantage of the opportunity when no more enemies appeared, she directly wrapped a wind-attribute magic around her slender body, making her and Parker on her shoulders as direct as a dexterous swallow. Leap across the river.
"elder sister!"
"Um!"
The distance of only fifty steps is not a big problem for the ghost twins Ram and Rem.
Therefore, they did not even use magic, but simply relied on the power of their bodies to easily jump over.
Fortunately, at this time, the boatmen in the river were only busy fighting with each other and riding the same panicked water dragons. No one had time to pay attention to the sky. If it hadn't been hot, they would have seen several beautiful scenery. ?
"Let's keep going here..."
"??"
"etc!!"
Seeing that both Ram and Rem had landed firmly on the ground, regardless of the mess around them near the city hall block, or the many lying motionless bodies on the road, Emilia was about to continue leading the way forward. Suddenly I discovered:
A little girl who had been following them reluctantly but still followed them suddenly disappeared? !
"its not right!"
"Rem, Ram! Where is Annie?!!"
After looking left and right and across the waterway, Emilia couldn't find the small figure and finally couldn't help but exclaimed.
She did not go to see the river. After all, they all knew that Annie was a powerful arcane mage, and it was absolutely impossible for the other party to fall into the waterway.
"Eh?"
"It's really missing!"
"Ha ha!"
"Emilia, you might not believe it if I tell you. It seems that even I don't know when she disappeared..."
Parker, who was standing on Emilia's shoulder, looked around and couldn't help but scratch his head.
It can be said to be the most leisurely one, and it only needs to stand on Emilia's shoulder when rushing. But now, a big living person is missing from the team out of thin air, and even it can't find it in time. It was indeed a bit scary.
"..."
"..."
"elder sister!"
"You and Lady Emilia go to the city hall first, and I'll go back and look for you now!"
"Whether I can find the owner or not, I will meet you at the city hall in half an hour. You must pay attention to safety!"
After saying that, Rem hesitated for a moment, then turned around and jumped back to the other side of the waterway, and accelerated into the alley where they had just passed and encountered the attack.
Soon, the sound of fighting was heard from across the waterway. It was obvious that Rem and the people from the Witch Cult were fighting again.
"Time is urgent!"
"Lady Emilia, shall we set off first?"
Seeing his sister leaving, Ram did not say anything to stop her, but instead began to urge Emilia to come.
However, while speaking, she quietly reached into the backpack behind her. After touching a hard, smooth and cold object, her frown relaxed slightly, and she felt a little relieved. So a little bit of confidence.
"hateful!"
"All right……"
"This is the only way to go!"
After struggling for a while and thinking about it, although she was very worried, anxious and angry, in the end, Emilia still couldn't think of a better way, so she had to bite the bullet and grit her teeth, turned around and followed Ram. Rushing towards the city hall.
It's fine now, and they are about to reach their destination, but the most important power they thought they relied on has disappeared inexplicably, and Rem's powerful force has also been temporarily absent to search for it. Now here is She, Ram and Parker were left, wondering if they could solve the big trouble in the city hall?
After thinking about it, Emilia, who was full of confidence just now, suddenly became anxious.
However, no matter how anxious she was, there was nothing she could do. Now that things had happened, she could only continue to move forward with Ram, go to the city hall that had appeared in sight and was said to be occupied by the enemy and try to take it back. Besides hoping that Rem would find some terrible and unreliable little guy soon, what else could she do?
