Chapter 108: Chapter 108: the Tragic Death of King of Lance, the Extremely Ferocious Snake Demon
Crossing the city walls, this obstacle.
Hundreds of thousands of demons rushed into the city of Debit, killing and devouring humans.
Wails, screams, and cries of agony echoed one after another, resounding through the sky above the royal capital.
Lance Palace.
Standing on the high platform.
Looking at the city that had already become a hell, King Lance was stunned, his face filled with despair and unwillingness.
He knew that everything was over.
Today, more than thousand-year foundation of the Lance royal family was about to be destroyed by these damn demons.
"Father, while the demons haven't reached the palace yet, let's escape quickly!"
"Otherwise, it will be too late when the demon army surrounds the palace."
The eldest prince, Kroger, said anxiously.
"That's right."
"Only by staying alive can we have a chance to regroup and restore the glory and foundation of the Lance royal family in the future..."
The third prince, Alexis, who had always been at odds with the eldest prince, also spoke up.
He didn't want to die.
Especially not at the hands of demons.
This way of dying was too miserable.
His soul would be completely swallowed.
Upon hearing the words of his two most outstanding children.
King Lance, who was in a daze, showed a glimmer of light in his cloudy eyes.
That's right.
The foundation was already gone.
But the inheritance of the Lance royal family must not be severed here.
There is hope if they survived.
Thinking of this, King of Lance immediately ordered to the crowd:
"You're right."
"Order all members of the royal family to pack up their valuable items and ride warhorses to the east gate of the palace."
"Knight Andrew, immediately gather all members of the Royal Knight Order and prepare to break out of the city..."
The Royal Knight Order does not belong to the three major extraordinary knight Legion; it is a private army directly under the royal family and only listens to their king.
Although the number is only over a thousand, it cannot compare to the three major extraordinary knight Legions in their peak, which often have tens of thousands of members.
But their elite level is superior, even the lowest-ranking members of the Royal Knight Order have the strength of the 5th-tier.
The leader of the Royal Knight Order is even a Sky Knight.
It can be said that the Royal Knight Order is the last trump card and defense line of the Lance royal family.
Deploying this army represents the most critical moment for the Lance royal family.
And now was time for the final gamble and use them.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Receiving the king's order, several princes showed a hint of joy on their faces.
They immediately went to find other members of the royal family.
And Captain Andrew began to gather all members of the Royal Knight Order.
A few minutes later, members of the royal family arrived one after another at the east gate.
Princess Elsa was also among them.
By her side was a woman full of heroic spirit.
It was Hilda, the sixth daughter of the Rennes family.
Knowing Hilda's identity, and the Berchil family of the Lance kingdom getting a tragic death in a bloody battle with demons where she served.
The royal family summoned the Lion heart Legion back to the capital, and transferred Hilda from the front lines to be Princess Elsa's personal guard.
That's why.
Hilda and Princess Elsa were together at this moment.
"Hilda, do you think we can really escape?" Princess Elsa tightly gripped her staff and asked in a worried voice.
In her crystal-clear azure eyes, helplessness, unease, and fear were revealed.
What was happening today was really terrifying.
Demons broke into the capital city and were slaughtering indiscriminately.
Now the Lance royal family is abandoning everything and fleeing for their life.
These "major events" made her, who has never experienced hardships and has been pampered since childhood, feel very insecure and scared.
Knowing that the young princess in front of her is her father's fiancée.
Also her soon to be stepmother.
They are all family.
Hilda didn't want to scare her even more.
Instead, she reassured her with a firm tone, "We definitely can."
That's what she said.
But she also had some doubts in her heart.
After all, there are at least a hundred thousand demons rampaging in Debit.
Not to mention outside the city.
The number will only be greater.
To break free from such a huge demon army.
The difficulty is going to be astronomical.
After hearing Hilda's words, Princess Elsa's anxious and uneasy heart calmed down a little bit.
Just as the two girls were talking and comforting each other.
The thousands of members of the Royal Knights gathered from all directions.
After completing the assembly.
The King of the Lance Kingdom immediately ordered the start of the breakout of the city.
Due to the large number of people.
The King of Lance directly chose the Blue Mountain Avenue, which is the widest and lead directly to the city gate, as the breakout route.
Under the protection of the Royal Knights.
The Lance royal family's advancing speed was very fast.
The small groups of demons encountered along the way were unable to hinder the progress of the crowd.
However, the good times didn't last long.
Due to the large number of people and the size of the target.
The breakout team of the Lance royal family quickly attracted the attention of many high-level demons.
A large number of high-level demons flocked towards them in groups.
In this situation, the resistance encountered by the breakout team of the Lance royal family became increasingly stronger.
The speed of advancement has become increasingly slow.
And as they say, Misfortune always strikes when the roof is leaking.
Having completed more than half of the journey, the city gate was within sight.
The legendary six-armed snake demon, which was currently happily devouring humans, also noticed this group of highly advanced extraordinary humans.
The flesh and souls of this groupe was evidently much more "delicious" than those of ordinary people.
The energy it'll obtain if it devoured them will be more abundant.
The higher the level of the human it devours, the more energy it gets.
Understanding this point.
The gaze of the legendary six-armed snake demon towards the royal escape team was filled with greed and excitement.
As if seeing some extraordinary delicacy.
Without hesitation, it launched an attack on them.
Its snake tail swung rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it charged into the formation of the Royal Knights order.
At the same time, its six arms held six large knives, spinning like a meat grinder. (Wtf, I can even imagine that.)
Wherever it passed, whether human or demon, all were shredded into pieces.
In an instant.
The Royal Knights have lost nearly half of their men.
Andrew, the Sky Knight and the leader of the Knights, was also powerless and died at the hands of this six-armed snake demon instantly.
As for King of Lance and several princes who were protected closely by Knight Andrew.
It goes without saying.
They too became food in the mouths of demons, being devoured alive.
Seeing the backbone of the main force completely gone.
The royal escape group instantly fell into chaos.
Everyone lost the courage to face this ferocious demon.
Everyone's faces were filled with fear, scattering in all directions.
In such chaos, Hilda's reaction was also extremely quick.
Decisively pulling Princess Elsa, she led a small group of royal knights towards the direction of the city gate to escape.
After all, Debit city has now became a playground for demons.
Not escaping from this ghostly place would undoubtedly lead to death.
It's just a matter of dying sooner or later.
Taking advantage of others scattering and attracting the demon's attention, quickly leaving the city is the best choice.
This decision was indeed correct.
But unfortunately, lady Luck clearly did not favor them.
After the team scattered, and devouring more than a dozen humans who were relatively close to itself, the six-armed snake demon turned its attention to Hilda and the others.
Soon, swinging its snake tail, it chased after them.
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"
Hearing the sharp and terrifying strange snake hissing sound getting closer and closer from behind.
Hilda and Elsa's hearts beat even more violently.
They desperately urged their warhorses to accelerate.
However, this was obviously useless.
Even if a warhorse has a beast bloodline, and even it sped up until it spat blood, it cannot match the speed of a legendary demon.
In just a few seconds.
The six-armed snake demon rushed behind Hilda and the others.
As if it had just feasted and was full, the six-armed snake demon was ready to have some post-meal "entertainment" and play around with its food.
But it didn't swing the six large knives in its hands as ferociously as before, cutting everyone into pieces.
It only used its hands to cut off the legs of the warhorses that Hilda and the others were riding.
"Neighhh!"
"Neighhh!"
The warhorses neighed painfully and fell down.
Hilda and the others who were sitting on the horses were thrown off and rolled on the ground several times.
"That demon has caught up! Run, run quickly!"
Enduring the intense pain.
They got up from the ground.
Hilda pulled Princess Elsa and rushed into a nearby alley.
And the six-armed snake demon followed closely behind the two women. (Really, of all the preys you choose to follow them.)
Like a cat playing with a mouse.
Occasionally launching attacks, watching the two women panic and flee.
No matter whether Hilda and the others used magic or combat skills, they couldn't shake off the pursuit of this demon.
More than ten minutes later.
Under such intense and frantic fleeing, Hilda and Princess Elsa their physical strength, fighting spirit, and magic power was quickly depleting.
Naturally, their speed also slowed down.
Seeing this, the six-armed snake demon seemed to have had enough fun.
With a burst of speed, it easily ran ahead of the two women's escape route and blocked their way.
Seeing this terrifying demon gradually approaching them, Hilda and Princess Elsa's hearts sank rapidly.
Their eyes were filled with despair.
They knew that they were most likely doomed.
"Hissss!"
Seeing the fear and despair on the faces of these humans, the ugly face of the six-armed snake demon clearly showed a pleased expression.
Immediately, it raised the large knife in its hand high, ready to dismember the two women.
"Swoosh!"
Accompanied by the sound of air tearing, the six large knives fell rapidly.
Hilda and Elsa, who had no power to resist, instinctively closed their eyes.
Waiting for death to come.
However, in the next mili-second,
"Holy Light Slash!"
A nearly ten-meter-long golden sword energy descended from the sky.
Carrying the purifying holy aura, it fiercely slashed down on the six-armed snake demon's head.
