Crown Dead

"So let's make a choice. Do you keep shackling yourself with self-pity and anger, and finally let those surviving soldiers be buried together? Or ignore these dying people and save others who still have a chance to survive?"

"I... yes, you're right."

Xian Yu nodded, forced himself not to be disturbed by the surrounding hell, and went straight to the west gate.

"Be careful! There is another round of corpses. As always, the front row uses spears to repel them! The rest pay attention to defending against the pterosaur attack!"

Arriving at the western city gate, a fairly loud voice came out.A group of soldiers who were still intact were leaning against the city gate, resisting the enemy.

"Heizhen—"

Xian Yu looked at Hei Zhen beside him, before he could speak, Hei Zhen waved his hand impatiently.

"Ah, I know. 'The appearance of the Dragon Witch will disturb the morale of the army'——right? I'll leave the negotiations to you."

"Then I will trouble you. If you encounter a situation, you can use the black flame to signal me."

"Take care of yourself first. I won't get hanged again right after I recover. That would be too shameful."

Hei Zhen is very conscious of the limited madness imposed on her body, and now it will only cause the survivors to have the opposite effect.

"Who—is it a survivor? Come here!"

The suspected leader of the team saw Xian Yu and immediately called him to hide at the end of the team for refuge, but Xian Yu only noticed after approaching that the innermost part of the army was unarmed children and women.

"I'm not a survivor, you just treat me as a friend of the Marshal. What happened here? You should have attacked Orleans according to the plan!"

Xian Yu skillfully put on a convenient identity for himself, and while killing the attacking monsters, he asked the only remaining team.

"Friend of the marshal... Forget it, it's already a big help for you to kill this monster so easily!"

The interim commander walked to Xian Yu's side, observed this ordinary-looking young man for a while, and finally decided not to investigate further.After all, although Xianyu's appearance doesn't look like a battle-hardened veteran, he does have the aura of a battlefield.

"We are indeed going to attack Orleans, but the enemy seems to have predicted our actions in advance! Most of the previous troops were completely wiped out by pterosaurs and those corpses that suddenly appeared in the early hours of the morning. We were at the tail of the team so Barely escaped the massacre, but Paris was invaded because of it-in less than 3 hours, these monsters have almost slaughtered the entire city! And-damn, and we have no ability to resist, now even Living is a luxury!"

——Knowing the actions of Marshal Gil one step ahead... After all, with the blessing of the Holy Grail, it is not difficult for Blue Beard to predict his own actions in the human period.

"Where is Marshal Jill? Why don't you just escape through the gate on the west side?"

"The marshal separated from us suddenly after he arrived in Paris. No matter what we said, he went on his own way and didn't know where he went. I only know that he said [I must solve it by myself]...but I didn't I don’t know what he wants to solve! As for why he didn’t escape from the west side, you can also see the closed city gate behind us, the mechanism to open the gate is damaged and blocked, and the gate cannot be opened only by human strength. "The commander pointed to the extremely heavy door behind him with a wry smile. Even if Xianyu forcibly used dead leaves with that kind of thick inorganic matter, it would take half a day to cut a hole.

"[It must be resolved by me personally]... Is it possible?!"

Hei Zhen said before that the magic power of Marshal C was felt in the ruined Paris, which meant that the lunatic had been here.

As for Marshal Jian, it is very likely that during this period, he met his mad self, and then "Which direction is he going? I can——hmm!"

Before he finished speaking, a pterosaur suddenly flew out of the sky, aiming straight at the children and women who were protected by the knights.

The pterosaur opened its mouth wide, but what it bit into was a cold chain.

"Get me down!!"

Xianyu pulled hard on the sky lock that was strangling the pterosaur, and the latter howled and lost his balance and hit the city gate.

"[Dead Leaf]—"

Xian Yu stepped on the sky lock and rushed to the pterosaur, held up the nameless long sword and pierced the pterosaur's skull from top to bottom.

——No, you can’t leave these people alone, they won’t survive the next wave of monster attacks.

——But the end result of staying here is only to be surrounded by monsters and torn apart. This door must be opened...

"Be careful! A black dragon that is bigger than other pterosaurs is coming!!"

Favna?

"Ooooooooooooo!!"

Favna, who was covered in wounds, bit the pterosaur's neck tightly, and swooped down from mid-air.

"Idiot dragon! There are survivors here—"

Xianyu instantly understood Favna's intentions, he stopped what he was going to say, and turned to shouting at the soldiers and residents behind him: "Hold your head with your hands, get down!!"

boom--! !

Favna slammed into the city gate with her hard body directly.The escape channel was instantly opened.

"That dragon is not the enemy! Keep the formation, the people behind cover the evacuation of the civilians first, and run towards the woods! The others are retreating while delaying the enemy who is chasing up. The black dragon will help us deal with the other pterosaurs attacking from the sky !"

Xian Yu issued an order, and everyone acted directly according to what he said—except for the temporary commander, who stared blankly at Xian Yu, his eyes were full of "You installed B, what am I doing?" subtle emotions.

After temporarily separating Hei Zhen and Xian Yu, she walked towards the breath she had sensed.She came to the city wall on the northwest side, and saw a familiar figure.

"...!"

After confirming the identity of that person, Hei Zhen's pupils became bigger in an instant, and she immediately ran to the side of that figure.

"—I must be hallucinating."

That figure, that is, Gilderley who has not yet turned into a blue beard, leans against the edge of the city wall, looking at Heizhen weakly but in surprise.

"It's not an illusion, anyway, shut up for me first."

Hei Zhen knelt down beside Jill, looking at Jill with some panic.More precisely, looking at the hole in Jill's chest.

It was as if it had been half-opened by some kind of tool and became empty, only the slipped intestines and viscera were left twitching slightly.
