Chapter 284

    After a day and night of fierce fighting, the tide of rat people outside the city wall of Cangshi King finally began to retreat for the first time. The soldiers who had no vision woke up from the numbness of chopping. They were surprised to find that there was no living rat man around them. After kicking down the rat men on the edge of the city wall, the soldiers saw that the remaining rat people began to move away from the capital city and disperse towards the wider forest.


    Cheers, from the walls. The sound was even louder than yesterday''s trumpet, and hearing it, the residents of the whole city understood their fate, and they were safe. Soon, the silent city became noisy. People almost ran into the street from their own houses, hugged people they knew and did not know, cheered and screamed, releasing their fear day and night.


    "They are too early to be happy." Cheese stood on the spire of the Council Hall of the royal capital, which was the highest place in the whole kingdom except the Royal Castle, overlooking the city which was rejuvenated with vitality, he said indifferently.


    "Is it? I think they''ve done a good job. At least this city won''t be like the iron castle... " Elsa beside the Master seemed to be infected by the residents of Wangdu, and her face showed an irresistible smile. She is happy for the people in this city.


    "The rat people left because they were hungry. They will eat all the food that can be eaten in the vicinity. When these people come out of the wall, they will find themselves in the desert Cheese frowned. The mage was not optimistic about the future of the war. Without food to sustain life, human beings might become something more terrible than rat people in an instant.


    "There will always be a way. As long as they are alive, they can find a way. " Said Elsa in a low voice, though not very strong. The woman who came out of the snow in the North inherited the ice guard''s heart as strong as the ice. For the landlady, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, she can never give up on her own initiative. No, maybe even if there is no hope, the people of Longji mountain will not bow to the world.


    The mage tilted his head. He hoped Elsa was right. This makes cheese no longer discuss this topic.


    "It''s time for us to go down. The sun has risen. Someone will see us." The mage said, holding her partner''s hand, walked into the shadow of a door that did not exist.


    "Hey, I''m wondering where you went in the morning." In a room in the witch''s house (there have been so many guests recently that emia has had to open this almost never used ballroom.) The long walnut table takes up most of the dining room space, and Jack is nibbling at a piece of grilled sirloin and says to the two people who walk into the banquet hall.


    "We went to witness a victory. At least it looks like a victory Replied the cheese, sitting in the nearest chair. When he sat down, the tableware flew to him from the cupboard in the corner of the room. Elsa was obviously shocked by the strange scene, but she was relieved to think that the mage had done many more incredible things.


    Wolf Walker shrugged. Of course he heard the cheers in the street, but it didn''t matter to him. Because this small victory is the work they finished together. Without the help of cheese and the families in the dark, Wang Du''s human beings would never have welcomed the sun with a smile. And this smile is not without cost.


    "Representatives of the big families have gone back to count the losses. I''m sure it''s their worst loss in nearly a hundred years. " The witch in red sat on the main seat of the long table, drinking a pot of black tea and said quietly. Although accurate data have not been obtained, it is certain that both ghouls and Dementors, and even dwarfs, paid the price of blood in the secret war last night. This account must be paid by someone. The witch only hopes it is not herself.


    "Then let them prepare. The war is far from over. Last night was just the beginning." The mage took a sip of the clear water that he had floated in front of him. He did not care and said that if the battle continued, the number of casualties would only increase. "Compared to this, Ms. Heather, are you sure of our itinerary today?"


    With a wink, the knight took a long swallow. "If you didn''t smash the pharmacists'' Association again last night, I''d be a little more sure." She stressed the pronunciation of the word "again" to emphasize that cheese had visited the pharmacists'' Association twice in a short day, and each time caused considerable damage.


    "Our actions are all for the purpose of self-defense. I believe that the king of Cang lion is not so unreasonable, is he?" Although the master said so, from the embarrassed expression on his face, he did not have much confidence in his words.


    "Self defense? It''s self-defense to walk into the heavily guarded Association of pharmacists, and then kill the chief pharmacist and his disciples? " If eyes can kill people, Heather''s eyes should be able to cut cheese alive. The body of the false Baron has been destroyed because of its characteristics. Although the body of the chief pharmacist can be found, no one can prove that the rat man is the great pharmacist of the grey lion, can it. So from the conclusion, cheese they have to bear a lot of responsibility for the death of these two people."I believe Lothar can provide us with some favorable testimony. The words of a count of the kingdom should have a lot of weight." Cheese spread his hands, trying to find a way out of the charge of the knight.


    "Ah, may I remind you that Lord Lothar is wanted now? Although you won the trial of glory, it was not granted by the king himself. It''s true that the Great Duke of blood axe is your Majesty''s confidant, but it''s hard to say how much he can say about such a thing Heather raised her eyebrows. The battle in the court was totally different from fighting with the sword. Many things that were taken for granted changed their flavor when they came to the king''s chamber.


    "Duke Harold won''t guarantee us." With the sound of the door opening, Lothar appeared at the door of the banquet hall. He said, sullenly, with hern''s hand pinned behind his waist. "The bloody axe was killed on the wall last night."


    Silence enveloped the dining table. It''s like the arrival of Lothar freezes time. Everyone at the table fell into some kind of silence because of the sudden news. If the witness of a glorious trial dies, will that trial count? This problem suddenly appears in everyone''s mind.
