Tang Yu received the message ten minutes later.
General Tulu had already lost all signs of life. He was completely dead.
Judging from his injuries, it was easy to tell that he was injured by a special kind of flame. However, General Tulu didn't have the ability to expel the special flame from his body.
When he died, the flames also disappeared, leaving behind a head, neck, and a small part of his chest.
Ten minutes ago, General Duru was still alive. Even if he was corroded by special flames, he could still be saved.
Now?
He's dead. There's no saving him. Let's bury him.
"The one who attacked must be far stronger than General Duru."
Elaine, who came all the way from the Tree Shade, analyzed. "The enemy must think General Duru is dead, so he didn't continue to chase, or General Duru is just a bait."
The latter was obviously more likely.
Purposely letting General Duru escape was to probe for possible accomplices.
The relationship between the Wing Division and the Western Garrison City was undoubtedly exposed. Fortunately, it was not a secret base that was exposed, so there was no need to panic.
Tang Yu still wanted to spit on the West Town Lord's Mansion.
What did they say before they came?
They vowed to be careful and only investigate the reason why they lost contact with the previous batches of Transcendents. They will never go deep. Even if they encounter danger, they will not implicate the Tree Shade's people.
Why did he have to act funny now? Was he flying towards the base of the Wing Army?
The pursuers didn't see it, but it attracted the attention of the patrolling corps outside the city. Zapor spent a lot of effort to deceive them.
Just to inform them that there was a problem with the royal family?
Tang Yu stroked his chin, lost in thought.
Before coming here, the Western Garrison City Lord Residence had their suspicions that the missing transcendent might be related to the royal family or some other upper-class nobles.
Whether it was the nobles who had a grudge against the Western Garrison City or the nobles who were unwilling to let the Iron Blood Duke enter the capital and harm their interests, these conflicts of interest were enough for the nobles to act.
It was the same for the royal family who had a certain agenda.
What was the point of saying that there was something wrong with the royal family?
"Unless it's not because of internal strife among the nobles."
The scene of the outbreak of the Blacktide, the changes in the Royal City over the past few decades, the world full of dead silence, the King who almost never left the palace, the sacrificial ceremony ten days later, the Eternal Wall that had never had any problems for thirty years, and the feeling of incongruity in the Royal City …
His brain worked like a computer at high speed.
All sorts of clues flashed through his mind and converged.
Strip away all the impossibilities, and what's left …
That was the only truth!
Rumble!
It was like a bolt of lightning.
Tang Yu's eyes lit up. Thinking of the Earth, the basic operation of the demons and aliens, a bold guess suddenly emerged.
The King's City had long been under the control of the Outsiders!
If the alien race was the mastermind behind the Black Tide, they wouldn't have let go of the strongest resistance force in the capital city.
…
"The possibility of His Lordship's guess is very high."
For safety's sake, they didn't stay in the Wing Legion's camp for a long time. Instead, they returned to the Tree Shade and convened a high-level meeting to analyze the situation.
"In terms of defense, the Eternal Wall is indeed extraordinary. However, any defense has its flaws. There is no such thing as an absolute defense."
Roger, the Minister of the Armed Forces, who was mainly responsible for the Tree Shade's defense affairs, said, "If the Black Tide was made up of unintelligent monsters, the Eternal Wall might be able to stop it. But the Transcendent dark creatures are undoubtedly intelligent, and not low. There are not many Transcendents stationed in such a large circle of walls. There must be a weak point."
"In addition, it's likely that there are aliens behind the Black Tide. They are more cunning. Many shelters in the Xia Kingdom have been infiltrated by aliens. Not to mention the Royal City is such an obvious target. Whether it's the Wing Legion returning from exploration or the Eternal Legion entering and leaving the city to collect spoils of war, it's a good opportunity for those aliens to infiltrate.
The Awakened Rank has no ability to resist the Transcendents. "
Some people also suggested that the Eternal Wall might have a detection array to prevent alien infiltration.
However, Lorraine and the other Transcendents had completely sealed their aura with props and followed the Wing Legion into the Royal City. It was very smooth.
There should be a detection array, but it couldn't really prevent the alien infiltration.
After a pause, Roger continued, "Moreover, the Eternal Wall simulated by the Lord has no chance of being broken by a Rank 1 Transcendent. But it's hard to say for a Rank 2 Transcendent. Its anti-air array can't completely suppress a Rank 2 Transcendent."
"Therefore, the Eternal Wall plan is likely the result of the aliens' self-directed play. The Royal Family is likely controlled by the aliens. Or, they are simply the aliens in disguise!"
Roger further speculated, and Tang Yu secretly agreed.
But there were still some things that were unclear.
The current King, and even the previous generation of the Royal Family, the Guardians of the previous generation, these people with real power were undoubtedly the top experts. Control? Almost impossible!
Disguise? It's also difficult to hide for decades. Even if the King lived in seclusion, he always had to contact others. And the Transcendents were very sensitive. If something was wrong, they could detect the aliens' disguise.
There was another point.
The Royal Family … the aliens controlled the hundreds of millions of people in the Royal City. What was their purpose?
Most of the Aino Continent was dead, which meant that the World Barrier was also full of holes. The devils invaded every world to devour the planet's origin. The planet's origin on the Aino Continent should have been almost completely devoured. Only the surviving cities were still alive.
Once these nails were removed, it wouldn't be long before this planet would fall into eternal silence.
And the aliens should only control a small number of people. At least the Seventeenth Princess of the Royal Family, Serena, was a normal person.
The fantasy game was deliberately changed to become rougher and more unreal. But the function of the Spiritual Space was still there. After knowing her identity as the Seventeenth Princess, the Space immediately scanned Serena in all directions.
The result was A … Ahem, she was a normal human.
It's impossible for her to be an alien in disguise.
On the territory map, the small dot representing Serena was also light yellow, gradually moving towards light green.
… …
The palace.
There were so many palaces that one could not see the end of the line.
Inside a side hall. It was empty and deserted.
Serena, who had returned to the palace, was a little worried that the Tree Shade Entertainment City would be suppressed and close down. She planned to find a backer for the Entertainment City. She didn't know that after a brief probing and secret confrontation, even Duke Morton hesitated to continue.
As the youngest member of the royal family, Serena had little power in her hands, but her "network" was very wide. She had a good relationship with several brothers and sisters. Borrowing their names to help the Entertainment City through the difficulties was just a small matter in her opinion.
However …
Whoosh ~
Her eyes suddenly blurred, and when she woke up again, she was already in this dim side hall.
There were no source power lamps, only a few iron pillars in the distance in the hall, with faint blue flames on them, allowing Serena to see her surroundings clearly.
Her entire body was tied to a strange frame. Her hands, feet, and waist were all tightly bound. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't move an inch.
Only her head could twist slightly. She saw the frame that was tied to her, which was full of dense patterns.
The floor under her feet also had mysterious rune patterns, looming.
Black Pupil was lying at her feet, unconscious.
"This … …"
Serena was completely sober.
Someone actually tied her up in the palace?
Her heart was flustered, but she still forced herself to calm down quickly. She didn't shout at the first moment. Since the person who knocked her out had tied her up here, shouting would probably be useless.
She mobilized the source power in her body and injected it into a ring, but there was no response. It was like a stone sinking into the sea.
At this time …
There seemed to be a voice coming from afar.
"The preparations for the sacrificial ceremony have been completed. I have ordered people to inform all the families to cooperate. When the time comes, all the people in the capital city will participate in the ceremony, enough to complete our last step."
"Hehe, there's obviously not even a Saint, but this world has taken us decades. It's enough to be proud."
These two voices sounded familiar to Serena.
When the two figures approached, her pupils shrank in disbelief.
"Father? Big Brother? "
Even if they hadn't met many times, Serena felt strange.
Fear welled up in her heart.
At this time …
The black cat at her feet woke up, bared its teeth, and its body suddenly swelled like a black tiger.
Its pupils flickered with a strange light, and with a meow, it pounced on the two men.
Bang — —
"Black Pupil!!"
Serena didn't see it clearly at all. The black cat had just pounced, and in the next moment, it was blasted to the edge of the side hall, and its breath became even weaker.
"Tsk tsk, this black cat was given to you by Cecil IX when you were one year old. I didn't expect it to become extraordinary so quickly. Its bloodline is indeed special."
The "king" with a cold face withdrew his hand and said slowly.
Serena's heart was cold.
In her unclear memory, when she was very young, her father cared for her very much and often smiled. But as she gradually grew up, the number of times she saw her father became less and less.
She originally thought … but now it seemed that there was something else hidden.
Thinking about it carefully, there were a few times when her father's temper was particularly bad, and his expression kept changing, as if, he was a different person.
"You … who are you?!"
"We?"
The "king"'s mouth curled into a strange smile, turned around, and walked outside.
The "First Prince" also followed closely behind.
He glanced at Serena. "Protect the last bloodline of the clan, and enjoy the remaining days before the sacrifice."
…
Earth, in a secret place.
Several alien tribes were plotting.
"Damn it, the Saier royal family, they actually wiped out two of my clan's stations. If it wasn't for the time being, I would've already killed them! So what if it's a Rank 2 Transcendent! "
"The current situation is not very good for us. The Saier royal family has a Rank 2 Transcendent, and the Tree Shade may have one before. In a few days, the other top Holy Lands may also have a Rank 2 Transcendent …"
A powerful alien genius who had condensed five source power cores said, "Unfortunately, the Planet of Origin's rejection of us is too severe. Before we break through the world barrier, it will be difficult for us to break through to Rank 2. On the contrary, the native humans of the Planet of Origin are blessed by the will of the planet, so it will be easier for them to break through."
"It doesn't matter. Soon, the Lord Messenger will arrive. After learning from the previous experience, the one who is about to arrive should be more reliable. At that time, I suggest to the Lord Messenger to first annihilate those restless human forces, especially the Tree Shade Faction."
"I don't need you to say that. The Tree Shade's master killed the previous Lord Messenger. I know he won't live long." A weird-looking alien who was spewing sparks from his mouth said, "I recently received news that the Heart Demon Clan is likely to arrive on the Planet of Origin."
"One of the eight major clans, the Heart Demon Clan?"
"I heard that the clan is extremely strange. Their body is obviously not strong, but they can control enemies that are countless times stronger than themselves."
"That's not control, but fusing with the target and gradually eroding the enemy's soul to achieve the goal of completely occupying the enemy's body … There are still some traces of control left. But after the Heart Demon Clan completely occupies the enemy's body, not only can no one detect any abnormalities, but even the enemy's memories and spells will be controlled by the Heart Demon Clan. Unless the Heart Demon Clan themselves expose themselves, otherwise, no one will be able to detect any abnormalities."
The alien present felt a slight chill in their hearts.
Even if they were working for the great ruler, the eight major clans' status was second only to the Lord Messenger. They were different from the ordinary clans that were transformed after they joined the great ruler.
Naturally, their relationship was not good.
What made the alien races even more fearful was that the abilities of the Mental Demon Clan were too terrifying. No one knew if their own clan elders and relatives had been replaced by the Mental Demon Clan.
Whether they were being watched by the Heart Demon Clan.
Fortunately, it took time for the Heart Demon Clan to occupy the body and soul of others. The weaker ones could be replaced in a few days. Those with strong willpower could last for months or even years.
There was also a limit to the number of times they could occupy someone's body.
Otherwise, the Heart Demon Clan's ability was completely unbeatable.
… …
The Royal City.
Another few days of peace and tranquility passed.
After General Duru was buried, no one found the encampment of the Wing Division.
After guessing that the royal family was likely controlled, Lorraine, Gray Blade, and the others who were active in the Royal City became more cautious. The entertainment city also temporarily slowed down the pace of expansion.
Tang Yu gave Lorraine and the others partial access to the "Spiritual Space" to inquire about the news according to the direction they guessed.
From the clues, they sought the truth.
Strangely, Princess Serena, who was addicted to games every day, didn't appear for a few days.
Lorraine and the others didn't care too much. For the next few days, they were busy from morning to night, sifting through countless junk information to find valuable information. They were going crazy.
How could they care about an internet addict girl?
Tang Yu was also very busy. Holding the mysterious branch given by the Frostwhite Earl, he was studying with Kevin how to make a special weapon with the mysterious branch as the main material.
On this day.
Someone @ him in the contract chat group named "Royal City Intelligence Exchange Center."
At first glance.
It was Lorraine.
Her tone was excited with a hint of relief.
"We … found an important person!"
