Chapter 799: Dilemma
"Dammit! Dammit!! Dammit!!!" Richard started cursing loudly, but he was still in an open area and did not stop moving forward with all his might *swoosh*
Only after a few more minutes did he find a large city. He stealthily landed on one of its streets and kicked the first stone he saw, "DAMMIT!!"
...Since he left Jura City, he had extended his strong soul sense far and wide -no one can match him in this regard but Robin- to get an idea of what was going on around, and it was not too surprising when he felt devastating chaos.
Riots broke out everywhere, in cities, villages, and even on remote roads, and the entire ruling system of the Ancestral Continent had fallen.
There are no longer markets, labor, or agriculture... the foundation of a society has stopped in just two days!
Now when two men meet, they either fight against each other, or fight together!
But this is not what worried Richard so much. He was expecting something like this. It is impossible for everyone inhabiting the Ancestral Continent to agree with the actions of those who call themselves *the people*
The real disaster is that he felt spaceships and people flying towards Jura City, coming from different directions. He even felt people riding in carts pulled by beasts rushing towards the city!
They all want to destroy the space portal, they will all defile the holy ground!!
That snake man was right... They weren't the only ones looking for the city, they just happened to be the first to arrive!
"What do I do? What do I do?!" Richard gritted his teeth
"He is also the bringer of life!!" The girl named Hillary breathed with difficulty, "He persecuted us, I know... but we experienced his rule for years and saw his justice. Do you want to destroy all of this, and then what? Do we live under the rule of invaders from another world? Monsters that are neither humans nor reptiles? Today I will kill you with my own hands!!"
"...What a pity, you sold your values and your family's blood for some benefit, I will take your life and erase the shame of my association with you!" The level 17 knight's aura exploded completely, suppressing his lover who was barely level 12
The girl raised her ax in front of them, her tears still streaming as she looked into the eyes of her fiancé, the person with whom she had chosen to spend the rest of her life, and the person who would take the rest of her life today.
*Shwalaaa*
Suddenly a green flame came out of the ground and completely devoured the young man. Before he could utter any scream, life disappeared from his eyes and a lifeless corpse resembling a mummy fell to the ground. After that, the green flame withdrew underground again... Everything happened within a split second.
"Ahh!!" Hilary looked at her in extreme shock, looking around to see if she would end up like her fiancé, but she gained some clarity of mind for a moment and looked at the body, then opened her eyes to the end, "A green flame that does not cause burns... Your Highness...
Richard?"
*Paa* Then she fell to her knees, put her face in her hands, and started crying, "Ahaa... Thank you... Your Highness... You really care about us... Thank you.."
"..." Richard hearing those words made him clench his hands tightly, but he calmed greatly and he muttered, "...You must be listening too, right? Stop being so stubborn and help me out. We have a responsibility towards these people, just rushing in and killing won't work. We need some schemes to save what we can... I will leave your specialty to you."
He sat down and took a deep breath. The flame in his hair went out and his face became expressionless, but he did not open his eyes immediately.
Only after a few minutes did Richard slowly open his deep eyes and sighed, "Heh-" Then he
took out a metal card from his space ring and made it touch the sound ring for a moment, then spoke, "Mayor of the Imperial Capital, Henry Burton, can you hear me?"
