Capítulo 523: Heart Demon Clan
When Tang Yu received the message, it had already been more than ten minutes.
General Durut had long since lost all signs of life and had died very thoroughly.
From his injuries, it could be determined that he had been injured by a special type of flame that burned brightly. However, General Durut did not have the ability to drive away the special flame that had invaded his body.
When he died, the flame also disappeared, leaving behind a blurry head, neck, and a small chest.
Ten minutes ago, when General Durut still had a weak life force, even if he was corroded by a special flame, he could still be saved.
Now?
It's cold, hopeless, bury it.
"The person who attacked should be stronger than General Durut."
Elaine, who had rushed over from Tree Shade, analyzed, "The other party probably thought that General Durut would die for sure, so he didn't continue to chase after him. Or perhaps, General Durut was just a bait."
The possibility of the latter was obviously higher.
He deliberately let General Durut go to test the possible accomplices.
There was no doubt that the relationship between the "Air Force" and the Western Garrison City was exposed. Fortunately, it was not a secret base that was exposed. There was no big problem, so there was no need to panic.
Tang Yu still wanted to spit at the West City Lord Residence.
What did he say before he came?
He swore that he would be careful. He would only investigate the reason why the first few batches of requesting help had lost contact. He would never go deep into the city. Even if he encountered danger, he would not implicate Tree Shade's people.
Now, what was the point of flying to the base of the 'Air Force'?
The pursuers did not see it, but attracted the attention of the patrolling troops in the outer city. It took Zaber a lot of effort to fool this matter.
Just to tell them that there was a problem with the royal family?
Tang Yu rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
Before coming, the Lord of the Western Garrison City had suspected that the missing Transcendents might be related to the royal family and some of the upper nobility.
Whether it was the nobles who had a grudge against the Western Garrison City or the nobles who were unwilling to let the Duke of Iron Blood enter the capital and damage their interests, these conflicts of interest were enough for the upper nobles to make a move.
It was the same for the royal family with a certain purpose.
Why do you have to say that there is a problem with the royal family?
"Unless, it is not because the nobles are involved in this."
The scene of the black tide breaking out, the changes in the capital over the past few decades, the world that is filled with dead silence, the king who almost never leaves the palace, the sacrificial ceremony that happened more than ten days later, the Eternal Wall that has never appeared in the past thirty years, and the feeling of incongruity in the capital...
His brain worked at a high speed like a computer.
All sorts of clues flashed through his mind one by one, gathering together.
It's impossible to remove everything, the rest...
It was the only truth!
Rumble!
It was like a bolt of lightning had streaked across the sky.
Tang Yu's eyes lit up as he thought of Earth, the basic operations of the Devil Race, and the foreign races. A bold guess suddenly appeared.
The capital had long been under the control of the foreign races!
If the foreign races were the ones controlling the Dark Tide, they would not have allowed the capital to be the strongest resistance force.
...
"The possibility of the lord guessing is very high."
In order to be safe, everyone did not stay in the base of the "Wing Corps" for long. Instead, they returned to Tree Shade and gathered the higher-ups to analyze it.
"Eternal Wall" is indeed extraordinary in terms of defense, but any defense has loopholes. There has never been an absolute defense. "
The head of the armed department,
Luo Zhe, who was mainly responsible for Tree Shade's defense, said, "If the black tide is full of unintelligent monsters, with the" Eternal Wall ", they may be able to safely block it. However, Extraordinary level dark creatures are undoubtedly intelligent and not low. There are not many Transcendents stationed in such a large wall, and there must be a weak point."
"In addition, it is very likely that there are foreign races behind the Dark Tide. They are even more cunning. In the territory of the Daxia Kingdom, there are many shelters that have been infiltrated by foreign races, not to mention that the capital is such an obvious target... Whether it is the" Wing Corps "returning from the exploration outside, or the" Eternal Army "entering the city in order to collect the spoils of war, it is a good opportunity for those foreign races to infiltrate.
In the face of a Transcendent, an ordinary Hunter would not have any ability to resist.
There were also people who suggested that the "Eternal Wall" might have a detection array that could prevent foreign races from infiltrating.
However, back then, Lorraine and the other Transcendents had completely sealed their auras with props and followed the group of "Wing Corps" into the capital. It was very smooth.
There should be a detection array, but it could not really guard against the infiltration of foreign races.
After a pause, Luo Zhe continued, "Moreover, the" Wall of Eternity "that Sir Lord simulated has no possibility of breaking through at the first level of the exceptional state after our tests. However, it is hard to say at the second level. The formation that can lock the air can not completely suppress a second level expert."
"Therefore, the" Wall of Eternity "project is likely the result of the self-directed and self-acting of the foreign races... The royal family is likely to be controlled by the foreign races, or perhaps, it is simply a disguise of the foreign races!"
Luo Zhe further speculated, and Tang Yu secretly agreed.
But there were still some things that he could not figure out.
The current king, even the previous generation of the royal family and the previous generation of guardians, these masters with real power, were undoubtedly the top masters, controlling? It was almost impossible!
Camouflage? It was also difficult to not reveal itself for decades. Even if the king lived in seclusion, he always had to contact others... As for Transcendents, they were very sensitive. If something was wrong, they could detect the disguise of foreign races.
There was another point,
What was the purpose of the royal family... the foreign race to control the population of the capital?
Most of the continent was deathly silent, meaning that the world barrier was also riddled with holes... The devil race had invaded various worlds to devour origin of the planet... The origin of the planet where the continent was located should have been mostly devoured, and only the surviving cities were left alive.
Once these nails were removed, this planet would soon fall into eternal silence.
Moreover, the foreign races should only control a small number of people. At least, the royal family's seventeenth Princess, Serena, was a normal person.
The illusion game was deliberately changed. It became more rough and unreal, but the functions of the "spiritual space" were all there. After knowing the identity of the seventeenth Princess, the space immediately scanned Serena in all directions.
The result of the inspection was that it was a... cough, a normal human.
It could not be a disguise of an alien race.
On the territory map, the small dot representing Serena was also pale yellow, and gradually approached pale green.
...
The palace.
The palace halls stretched out without end.
In a side hall, it was empty and deserted.
Serena, who had already returned to the palace, was worried that Tree Shade Entertainment City would be suppressed and close down. She planned to find some backing for Entertainment City. She was not clear about the brief probing and secret confrontation. Even the Duke Modun hesitated and did not continue to act.
As the youngest member of the royal family, Serena had little power in her hands, but her "connections" were very wide. She had a good relationship with her brothers and sisters. Using their names to help Entertainment City get through the difficulties was just a small matter to her.
However,
Hu ---
She suddenly fainted. When she woke up again, she was already in this dark side hall.
There were no Origin Energy Lights, only a few iron pillars in the distance of the hall. There was a faint blue flame on them, allowing Serena to see her surroundings clearly.
She stood there, tied to a strange shelf. Her hands, feet, and waist were all tied tightly. No matter how much she struggled, she could not move at all.
Only her head could move slightly and see that the shelf that was tied to her was covered in dense patterns.
The floor beneath her feet also had a mysterious rune pattern that was faintly discernible.
Black Pupil lay beside her feet, already unconscious.
"This..."
Serena was completely awake.
Someone kidnapped her in the palace?
She panicked, but she forced herself to calm down. She didn't shout at the first possible moment - since the person who knocked her out had tied her here, shouting would probably be useless.
She mobilized the source energy in her body and injected it into a ring, but there was no reaction, like a stone sinking into the sea.
At this time,
From far away, there seemed to be a voice.
"The sacrificial ceremony has been prepared. I have already ordered people to inform the families to cooperate. When the time comes, all the people in the capital will participate in the ceremony. It will be enough to complete our last step."
"Hehe, Ming Ming does not even have a Saint. This world actually took us dozens of years. It is enough to be proud."
These two voices sounded familiar.
When the two figures approached, her pupils contracted in disbelief.
"Father? Big brother?"
Even though they hadn't met for many times, Serena still felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
Fear welled up in her heart.
At this moment,
The black cat by her feet woke up, bared its teeth, and its body suddenly expanded like a black tiger.
Its pupils flashed with a strange light, and with a meow, it pounced towards the two people.
Bang -
"Black Pupil!"
Serena could not see clearly at all. The black cat had just pounced out, but in the next moment, it was sent flying to the edge of the side hall, and its breath became weaker.
"Tsk tsk, this black cat was given to you by Cecil in his ninth life when you were one year old. I didn't expect it to become extraordinary so quickly. The bloodline is indeed special."
The cold-faced "king" retracted his hand and said slowly.
Serena felt a chill in her heart.
In her unclear memory, when she was very young, her father cared for her and often smiled at her. However, as she grew older, the number of times she met her father became less and less.
She had originally thought that... now that she looked at it, there was something more to it.
Thinking about it carefully, there were a few times when her father had a particularly bad temper and his expression changed constantly, as if he had changed into a different person.
"Who... are you?"
"Us?"
The King grinned strangely, turned around, and walked out.
The "First Prince" also followed.
He glanced at Serena, "Protect the last bloodline of the clan and enjoy the remaining days before the sacrifice."
...
Earth, a secret place.
A few foreign races were plotting.
"Damn the Sair Imperial Family, they actually cleared out two of my clan's bases. If not for the fact that it wasn't time to make a move, I would have been too tender to kill him! So what if he's a Second Order!"
"The current situation isn't too good for us. A Second Order Transcendent has appeared in the Sair Imperial Family. Perhaps Tree Shade already has one before, and the other peak sacred grounds might even have a Second Order Transcendent in a few days..."
"Unfortunately, the Origin Star has been rejecting us too much. Before we break through the world barrier, it would be extremely difficult for us to break through to the Second Order. On the other hand, the native humans of the Origin Star have been blessed by the will of the planet, making it easier for us to break through."
"It doesn't matter. Not long after, an emissary will descend and absorb the experience from the last time. The one who is about to arrive, no matter what, has to be more reliable. When the time comes, I suggest that we make a suggestion to Sir Envoy to first eliminate the restless human forces, especially Tree Shade."
"There's no need for you to say that. Tree Shade's ruler killed the previous envoy. I knew that he wouldn't live for long." "I recently received news that the Heart Demon Clan is likely to arrive at Origin Star."
"The Heart Demon Clan, one of the eight great clans?"
"I heard that the clan is extremely strange. Their main body is clearly not strong, but they can control enemies that are countless times stronger than themselves."
"That is not control, but merging with the target, gradually eroding the soul of the enemy to achieve the goal of completely occupying the body of the enemy... There were still some traces left behind by control. After the Heart Demon Clan completely occupied the body of the enemy, not only could no spells detect any abnormalities, but even the memories and spells of the enemy would be controlled by the Heart Demon Clan. Unless the Heart Demon Clan exposed themselves, no matter how close they were, they would not be able to detect any abnormalities."
The hearts of the foreign races present all turned slightly cold.
Even if they were all working for the great ruler, the status of the eight families was second only to the envoys. They were different from the ordinary races that had been converted after they joined.
Naturally, their relationship wasn't that good.
What made the other races even more wary was that the abilities of the Heart Demon Clan were too terrifying. No one knew if any of the elders and relatives of the clan had been replaced by the Heart Demon Clan.
Were they being monitored by the Heart Demon Clan?
Fortunately, when the Heart Demon Clan occupied other people's bodies and occupied their souls, they needed time. The weaker ones could be replaced in a few days. However, those with strong willpower could last for several months or even years.
There was also a limit to the number of times they could invade other people's bodies.
Otherwise, the abilities of the Heart Demon Clan would be completely unsolvable.
...
King's City.
It was peaceful for a few more days.
After General Durut was buried, no one found the encampment of the "Air Force".
After guessing that the royal family was likely to be controlled, Lorraine, Hui Ren, and the others who were active in the imperial city were even more careful and the entertainment city was also slowing down.
Tang Yu gave Lorraine and the others some of the authority in the "Air Space" and asked them to inquire about the news according to their guesses.
To seek the truth from the clues.
What was more strange was that Princess Serena, who was addicted to games every day, had not appeared for a few days.
Lorraine and the others did not pay much attention to it. For a few days, they had been busy from morning to night. Through countless rubbish information, they had picked out valuable information. They were about to go crazy.
How would he have the time to care about an Internet addiction girl?
Tang Yu was also very busy. He held the mysterious branch given by Count Frostwhite and 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 called "The Intelligence Exchange Center in King City".
At a glance,
It was Lorraine.
Her tone was excited and carried a trace of relief.
"We... found an important person!"
