Chapter 541 Night City: Don't forget, you were once a human too!
In the meeting hall of the royal palace of the kingdom, a map of the royal capital was spread out in front of the Golden Princess, while adventurers from the kingdom stood around it.
Among them, in addition to the recently famous "Pitch Black Momo", there is also the kingdom's "Adamantine Grade" team "Blue Rose".
These kings of heaven have been attacked by demons, and the people at the forefront of the resistance have always been the adventurers of the kingdom, as well as the knights of the kingdom.
Although the king of the kingdom, Rambusa III, also wanted help from the nobles of the surrounding kingdoms, but now that the devil is sieging the city, most of the nobles of the kingdom are also worried that they will be affected, so they gathered to give up their home guards.
From the perspective of these kingdom nobles, civilians are just civilians after all. As lowly pariahs, how can the weight of their lives be compared to theirs?
The royal family asked them to gather the strength of the family to protect those civilians. Isn't this a joke?
How ferocious those demons are, it's not like they haven't seen it. What's the benefit to them of letting them, noble nobles, take risks to save those civilians?
The nobles in the royal capital had various excuses for the transfer order, and out of helplessness, the golden princess Lana thought of summoning adventurers from the kingdom to assist.
At the beginning, the adventurers and knights of the kingdom were really powerful and were able to withstand many attacks from the devil.
But the devil's offensive and tenacity far exceeded the kingdom's expectations.
The adventurers and the knights fought back the enemy in hard battles, but compared to them who suffered heavy casualties, the demons seemed to have no limit.
Demons such as Cerberus and Soul Eater are like leeks, killing one crop will bring another one.
If it weren't for the adamantine-grade "Blue Rose" and the jet-black Momo who defeated Jaldabao, the royal capital might have fallen long ago.
“Princess Lana, whoever went to the Theocracy to ask for help, hasn't any information been sent back yet?”
The sassy and beautiful girl with long blond hair and wearing armor looked at the golden princess in front of her and asked what most people present were most concerned about.
However, facing the inquiry from her friend, the Golden Princess just shook her head helplessly and said: "It stands to reason that such a large-scale demon army invades the human country, and the Theocracy should not sit idly by and ignore it.
But what is strange is that the envoys sent to the foreign religious countries to ask for help this time said that the current religious countries seem to be in civil strife. "
Hearing Princess Lana's words, Lakyus, who is also a noble of the kingdom but is also the leader of the "Blue Rose" team, also showed a look of doubt on his face.
The Theocracy is not an ordinary monarchy. It is co-governed by six priests. Why did it suddenly fall into civil strife?
Of course, Lakyus and the adventurers present did not care about why the Theocracy fell into civil strife. After all, they had too much to take care of themselves now.
The point is that if there is civil strife on the Theocracy's side, wouldn't they be unable to wait for reinforcements?
The previous successive battles have made many people here look exhausted, and with this low morale, if the demons launch another attack next time, the capital may really fall!
Realizing that the royal capital might fall, many of the adventurers present began to panic.
They will take the initiative to stand up against the demons, partly because they are fighting for mankind, and partly because of the various generous rewards promised by the royal family.
No matter how generous the reward is, it is not as important as their own lives. Before, they saw the possibility of defeating the demon, so they were willing to fight.
But now there is no support from the Theocracy as expected, and the capital is about to fall. Do they still want to stay and coexist?
Just kidding, they are just adventurers, not nobles of the kingdom, so why should they work for the kingdom?
No, it should be said that the nobles who are supposed to protect the kingdom are either staying behind closed doors or are already packing up their property and preparing to flee the royal capital.
"Everyone, please calm down. Although the support from the Theocracy has not come, I have found a strong reinforcement from other places." It seems that she is aware that what she just said will shake the morale of the army, so Princess Lana He also quickly made up for it.
“Apart from the Theocracy's troops, does the Kingdom have other powerful reinforcements? Could it be other local nobles in the Kingdom?”
Under everyone's speculation, Ye Cheng and the others were also brought into the meeting hall by the soldiers of the kingdom.
When he saw Ye Cheng mixed in the crowd, Momonga was obviously stunned on the spot.
Because according to the plan, Ye City should be kept in the dark about this attack on the kingdom, but why is Ye City here now?
Looking at Ye Cheng looking at him with an unkind expression, Momonga knew that something was going to happen.
Being familiar with Night City, he knew very well that his friend was very angry right now. If he didn't get it right, he would really be beaten into a pile of skeletons.
Momonga, who had not figured out what was going on, immediately put his index finger on his temple and planned to use "information" to contact Demiurge to ask what happened.
However, before he could contact Demiurge, the voice of Night City suddenly appeared in his mind.
"It's information interception. The guy in Night City noticed that I was using information to contact other people..."
“Moonga, I don't care what kind of airplane you are doing, but I'm very angry now.
Tell Demiurge and the others that if they encounter me, they'd better run faster, otherwise I'll be afraid of myself if I strike hard.
And you guys, don't even think about staying out of it. I really never thought that you would actually agree to Demiurge's proposal. "
“Although we came to this world from YGGDRASIL, our bodies and minds have been affected to a certain extent due to racial changes.
But you guys have forgotten that you were once an ordinary human being at the bottom!
If you want to capture those nobles of the kingdom, then I can't control it. After all, judging from the background of this world, most of these so-called noble men will not regret their death.
But you plan to pack up and take away even those humans who are at the bottom, and you don't even plan to let go of the elderly and children. Have you completely turned your own soul into an undead? "
Yecheng knew that Momonga's body had become undead, both physically and mentally. However, judging from the fact that he had always cared about his former companions, his soul and thoughts should not have changed.
It is also because of this that Ye Cheng feels extremely angry. Demiurge and the others are originally dark creatures, and it is understandable that they would treat humans as inferior creatures, but Suzuki Satoru has a human soul!
Hearing the extremely angry voice of Ye City in his mind, Momonga was also stunned on the spot.
All he has been thinking about is making the Great Tomb of Nazarick better, and the undead's body and mind have indeed subtly affected his thinking.
But what Ye Cheng said now also gave him a sense of sudden realization. When did he start to become so indifferent to life?
