After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

It feels like hitting a lump of mud, and it doesn't have the feel it should have.

"Asshole, you asshole! Just for this!!? You did this for such a trivial matter!!? Do you know what you are saying means!!?"

The plan was perfect, but there was just one problem.

What's the cost?

The tragic situation in the royal capital has been seen.

If this plan goes ahead, all kinds of brutal civil wars will inevitably break out throughout the kingdom.

Not only might the demons take advantage of this opportunity to sneak in, but the empire and the church might also take the opportunity to interfere.

When everything is settled, maybe Heidi will be able to sit on the throne, but how many people will be left alive in the country by then?

"Do you really not care about the people at all?! You don't care how much you sacrifice for this little thing?! Do you really have no memory of how the kingdom was founded in the first place?!"

"What's the point of sitting on a throne like this?! What's the point of ruling a country that's a scorched earth?! Tell me! How foolish could you be to do something like this? Tell me!"

Heidi cried and screamed, shaking Arthur, who was in her hands, regardless of the consequences.

However, Arthur didn't say another word, perhaps because he was too weak or because he was satisfied.

On his dry face, there was an almost fixed smile.

"You... forget it, that's just who you are. I understand. I should have understood it long ago..."

There is no need to continue to argue, especially since Aize and others are risking their lives to buy time.

We can't drag our feet any longer.

Heidi was deflated and threw Arthur back to the ground. Then she picked up the sharp stone again, squatted down, and pressed it against the man's neck.

"In the name of Heidi Art, the first heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Art, I hereby declare that Arthur Art colluded with the demons and massacred the people of the kingdom. His crimes are heinous and unforgivable. He is now sentenced to... death."

The verdict was delivered in a low, quick voice, and almost without emotion.

It was just a formality, or like some kind of eulogy.

Anyway, as soon as he finished speaking, the stone blade moved, and Arthur's throat was roughly cut and slashed.

Arthur, who had become like a dried corpse, lost the last breath he had managed to hold on to.

But even so, there was still a smile on his face.

After all, in his opinion, the situation was already decided.

If George wins, then Heidi can at least survive as he envisioned.

Even if George ultimately fails, the destruction of the Duke Alliance is almost inevitable, and Heidi will follow the path he has designed as she expected.

Heidi threw the stone knife, which was almost bloodless, aside and stood up with a gloomy face.

"Goodbye, uncle."

Heidi said this in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

"Also, I will never let you succeed. My future, the future of the kingdom, is decided by me. I will also put an end to the evil that father and you have committed!"

Of course, there are ways to resist this established arrangement.

Heidi didn't even need to think too much about it. The words that Aize had carved on the stone slab had already clearly pointed out the next path for her.

It was so well-matched that Heidi even suspected that Aize had anticipated all of this and even taken Arthur's true purpose into consideration.

Judging from past experience, it should be.

In response, Heidi covered her face, shook her head, and smiled bitterly from the bottom of her heart:

"Oh, Aize, you really are... Since you knew, why didn't you tell me earlier!?"

Maybe he was afraid that he couldn't bear it.

There's no way. I've been fainting and lying in bed all the time in the past few days. It's really embarrassing. I can't blame him for hiding this and that from me.

On the other hand, Aize actually seriously considered his own ability to bear it.

Just confirming this made Heidi feel much better.

At least I'm sure I'm not alone.

"time to go."

I don’t know how long I have been unconscious this time, nor do I know the conditions of Aize and others, so I must speed up my actions.

He turned away from Arthur's corpse and came to the entrance of the tomb. He kicked it open with one foot, tried hard to recall the details of his father's burial, and walked through the underground palace as quickly as possible towards the ground.

"Wait for me, Aize. Just wait a little longer. It will be fine soon. You must hold on!"

The red-haired princess clenched her fists and muttered to herself deep in her heart.

Chapter 119 The End of the Beginning

Faced with such an overwhelming gap in strength, even just delaying time is extremely difficult, and getting out of this situation unscathed is almost impossible.

Therefore, if possible, we should try to avoid direct confrontation with George.

"Prepare the blasting technique. Set up 10 blasting blasters at 15-meter intervals. Once you're at a distance, activate them immediately and blow up all the tunnels behind us!"

The risks of doing this are quite high.

In the worst case scenario, it might even trigger a chain reaction that would completely bury Aize and the others under the rubble.

But this is better than being entangled by that guy.

"clear!"

Villian followed the instructions without reservation.

Accompanied by a series of flashes of light and blasts of air, the entire tunnel began to tremble violently. The collapsed rocks and earth instantly completely blocked the passable space within a hundred meters.

The noise was so loud that after the ceiling collapsed completely, one could see the dark sky outside.

This is an opportunity.

"Vel, can you create a puppet in our appearance and continue along the tunnel?"

"Of course I can, but time is tight and I don't have the right materials. I can't make a decent puppet at all, and I'm afraid I won't be able to fool that guy for long."

"It's okay, it's better than nothing, hurry up."

"Ok!"

The witch looked around, searched briefly for available materials, then immediately closed her eyes, concentrated her attention, and released her magic power on the collapsed stones.

Then he opened his eyes and snapped his fingers lightly.

With a flash of light, the stone immediately transformed into several human-shaped puppets, which continued to run forward along the tunnel regardless of anything.

The real bodies of Aize and others took the opportunity to go to the ground.

The location at this moment is right under the city wall of the royal capital of Alster.

Eternal night has fallen, and the strange darkness has completely covered the sky. Being in the shadow cast by it, the environment is literally pitch dark, even more suffocating than the darkness without moonlight.

In the city, the blood slaves have become more active than ever before due to the coming of the eternal night and George's resurrection. The terrifying roars are heard one after another.

Outside the city, the Duke Alliance's army surrounding the city was also thrown into chaos by the darkness. The commotion in their camp could be heard from a long distance away.

Aize quickly glanced at the surroundings, looking for anything that could be used to delay George.

Don't tell me, he actually found it.

He leaned close to Villian's ear and whispered something.

"How do you say it? Can you do it?"

"Um……"

After a moment's thought, Miss Witch nodded:

"Yes, but we don't have enough time. We can't program the action logic like we did with the previous maid puppets. If we must do it... we can only aim at a specific location in advance."

"It's enough as a final trump card. Let's aim at the intersection above where we conducted the experiment before."

"Okay, leave it to me~"

The witch nodded, turned around and left, and began to make relevant arrangements.

Under Aize's instructions, Alicia transformed into the appearance of a dragon again, carrying Aize and Charlotte into the sky and heading towards the palace.

"This is……"

From the air, the situation of the royal capital below was clearly visible.

What he saw made Aize frown unconsciously.

The dark streets were crowded with blood slaves, stretching as far as the eye could see like a grassland, tightly surrounding the safe zone of the palace in the middle.

It seems that all the remaining blood slaves in the king's capital have been mobilized.

Fortunately, the attack has not been launched yet, otherwise the safe zone could only hold out for a few minutes.

Alicia flew over the cluster of blood slaves and landed behind the wall of the safe zone. After Aize and Charlotte jumped down, she regained her human form.

On this side, Constantine and Elena, who were in charge of staying behind, also came forward immediately.

"Boss, you are finally back."

Because of the unprecedented pressure he faced, Constantine's face looked extremely ugly at this moment.

I finally felt relieved when I saw Aize.

"What happened? The current situation..."

"Lord Aize, where is the princess? Didn't she...didn't she come back with you?"

Before Constantine could say a word, he was pushed aside by the anxious Elena.

In response to this, Aize could only shrug his shoulders in a nonchalant manner:

"She's fine. She just has another job to complete. She'll be back soon. Time is running out. Please tell me what's going on here."

"Yes!"

Constantine saluted and began to report at the fastest speed.

Soon after Aize and his companions entered the tunnel, the speed of the formation of eternal night suddenly accelerated, and within almost a minute, the sunlight was completely blocked out in the entire royal capital.

The stagnant blood slaves also began to move, maintaining a safe distance in a highly organized manner, surrounding the entire palace and the surrounding areas.

All available defense forces in the safe zone were mobilized, ready to resist until the last man, and the people were crammed into the palace without exception.

that's all.

Aize nodded:

"Well, you did a great job, but there's one more thing I want you to do."

"what?"

"Soon, a battle will begin. You don't need to worry about the target of the battle, and you shouldn't participate in it. But once the battle begins, you must immediately organize all residents in the safe zone to evacuate through the tunnel we discovered earlier."

The arrival of eternal night and the approaching army of blood slaves have already caused panic among the people in the safe zone.

At this time, if they knew that the mastermind behind all this was the royal family and the previous king, the riots that would break out would be so intense that they would be impossible to control.

So keep it confidential.

Considering George's amazing ability to cause large-scale destruction, once the battle begins, the safe zone and the royal palace will definitely be affected, so a way must be found to evacuate civilians.

On the ground, the blood slaves' heavy encirclement was impossible to overcome.

Then we can only go underground.

The gap that Villian had just blasted was just outside the city wall.

Although the space is far from enough to send everyone out, as many as can be transferred will be better.

"As ordered!"

"But Lord Aize, if we want to evacuate the people, what will happen to the Duke Alliance's troops outside the city? I'm afraid they won't let us leave the capital."

"No, they will."

"well?"
