Alexia asked in confusion.
The victim gave a wry smile and explained, "In this world, weakness is the original sin. Before you came, I met other victims like me. Some were humans, some were orcs, and some were elves. All of those brought here have one thing in common: they are descendants of the heroes whose ancestors once slew the demon Diabolos. We fell into their hands, and without help from noble people, our fate is sealed."
Alexia tried to break free from the chains, but no matter how hard she tried, the silver-black chains seemed to be absorbed into her magic. The more she struggled, the tighter they became. She couldn't help but feel a surge of despair, but then she pulled herself together. She couldn't let herself sit here and wait for death.
Alexia said firmly:
"We can't just give up like this. There will always be a way to escape."
"Actually, we've already escaped. The Lord didn't want to alert the enemy and wanted to wipe out the Diabolos Cult's stronghold here all at once, so he deliberately left you here."
Hearing this, Alexia felt relieved a little, but she was very unhappy when she thought that she was being used as bait for fishing.
But being inferior to others and being used as a pawn by others is worse than being abandoned at will.
Chapter 67 Alice is shivering with anger
As footsteps were heard, Alexia and the victim simultaneously shut their mouths and looked towards the person who was coming.
The leader was the one Alexia was familiar with.
"Jeno, you kidnapped me"
Geno, Alexia's nominal fiancé, was followed by a group of knights wearing the uniforms of the Kingdom's Knights, some of whom were familiar to Alexia.
The people of the Diabolos Cult have infiltrated so deeply. When did even the people of the Kingdom Knights become members of the Diabolos Cult?
Geno said hypocritically:
"It's me, Alexia. Why did you marry me earlier? Why did you have to suffer like this?"
Alexia didn't believe it at all and said bluntly:
"I'm lucky not to have married a villain like you who harbors evil intentions. You're not just plotting against me, but the entire Kingdom of Midgar."
Geno stopped pretending and said in a cold tone:
"That's right, the cult is plotting against the entire kingdom. I originally preferred your sister to you, the good-for-nothing Second Princess. If I marry you, I'm worried that my offspring will be a fool."
"Jeno!"
The last thing Alexia wanted to hear was being compared to her sister, who had an excellent talent for swordsmanship. Every comparison was a mockery of her.
"Hehe, that's the truth. Doctor, it's time to draw blood from our second princess. If it weren't for your status as a descendant of a hero, you wouldn't be so comfortable."
Behind Geno, a crazy scientist wearing glasses and a white coat walked out with his signature laugh. He held a huge syringe in his hand and pointed it at Alexia.
"Princess, please cooperate well. This way, your blood will have the greatest value in research. Don't force me to use brutal means."
Looking at the approaching syringe, Alexia resisted frantically and was terrified. She hoped that someone could save her from danger.
"Lord Geno, one of our small strongholds was found and destroyed by a group of rats. Lord Fenrir has issued an order to you to lead the Kingdom Knights to annihilate the rats."
The rats that the Diabolos Cult refers to are naturally the Shadow Garden that has been against them for more than ten years.
Geno spat in disgust and disdain:
"Tsk, damn rat, you're disturbing my elegance. It's a pity I can't see you struggling and begging for mercy now, Alexia. The last thing I lack is time."
After Geno and his men left, the crazy researcher continued to draw Alexia's blood, saying earnestly as he did so:
"Weakness is the original sin. If you are strong, then you will be imprisoned and have your blood drawn, which is Geno."
Alexia stared at the four-eyed frog in front of her warily and said with disgust:
"If I hadn't been drugged, I wouldn't have been kidnapped here!"
"It seems to be saying that you can defeat that incompetent villain head-on."
"shut up!"
Alexia roared, and although her body was weakened by blood loss, her eyes still burned with an unyielding fire.
"It is not for you to judge my strength. Everything I've experienced today is merely a temporary hardship. One day, I will personally expose your true colors and make all the schemes of the Diabolos Cult known to the world!"
"Haha, what an interesting fantasy."
The scientific research madman smiled contemptuously, and the syringe in his hand finally stopped. He carefully placed the collected blood sample into a sealed container.
"However, Your Highness, you seem to have forgotten one thing: reality is often far more cruel than dreams. In this world where the strong are respected, power is the ultimate truth that determines everything."
Without the shadow in the original novel, or Shangguan Wen who has traveled through time and space to replace her, Alexia's tragic ending would have to be blurred before it could be viewed.
Drawing her blood now is a far lighter punishment than the one she suffered in the original book.
----split line----
It was the evening of the next day.
Shangguan Wen stood on top of the tallest clock tower in the royal capital, looking down at the brightly lit city from above.
"It's a dark and windy night, perfect weather for a murder."
Behind Shangguan Wen stood the Eight Shadows, led by Alpha. Not only them, but the other members of Shadow Garden were scattered throughout the city, using their immense strength to conceal their presence and blend into the shadows, undetectable. Besides them, the newly developed and hastily produced Bloodline Factor combatants would also be deployed in this battle...
"My Lord Shadow, everyone has taken their positions according to the combat deployment."
"Well, very good. To intimidate the Diabolos Cult and the Kingdom of Midgar, we can use a bit more blood and write the words [Diabolos Cult, we come for revenge] in blood at the large strongholds we discover."
Shangguan Wen's orders were meaningless to Alpha and the others. They were originally persecuted by the Diabolos Cult and became victims, which is now the Avengers.
clang~ clang~ clang~
The bell rang three times, a signal for revenge.
"kill!"
"Yes, Lord Shadow!" X8
The next second, eight beautiful figures in combat uniforms flew through the air and attacked their respective designated targets.
Boom boom boom! ! !
At this moment, the capital of the Kingdom of Midgar was filled with fireworks and sirens. Alice Midgar, who came out of the Kingdom's Knights, received news in just a short time that an unknown powerful force was fighting with another unknown powerful force in the capital. This surprised her very much. She didn't even know when the enemy had infiltrated her country's capital. It was the Knights' dereliction of duty.
But soon news came that among those killed were some nobles, some were merchants, and some were members of the Knights Templar.
Alice quickly jumped onto the roof of the tallest house nearby and used magic to enhance her vision to look around. Everywhere she looked, she saw people in various costumes fighting in public with women in uniform black. Using magic to enhance her hearing, she heard shouts and screams from the women in black, who were shouting that the "running dogs of the Diabolos Cult" should go to hell.
The Cult of Diabolos?
Could it be that someone from the Diabolos Cult kidnapped his sister Alexia and infiltrated his kingdom?
When Princess Alice thought of this reasoning, she was dumbfounded at first, and then she was shaking with anger. When did the rats from the sewer run here? Damn it!
I will kill you today and rescue my sister Alexia!
Chapter 68 Alice's Reluctance
Alice followed the scene of the battle and asked her men to follow closely behind while she went to capture the murderer first. Whether it was capturing the so-called members of the Diabolos Cult or the women in black, it would be a breakthrough. She really wanted to know to what extent her country had been infiltrated. Such a large-scale infiltration must have been achieved with the cooperation of people inside and outside the capital.
It has to be said that as the most powerful female swordsman in the royal capital, Alice Midgar ran very fast. She jumped and shuttled between the buildings and rushed to the battlefield.
"All of you stop right there. You are all under arrest now. In my capacity as the Princess of the Royal Capital Knights..."
However, both sides of the battle only paused their attacks on each other and were ignored.
"Alice Midgar, please go watch the show from the sidelines and don't interfere with our [Shadow Garden]'s revenge against the [Diabolos Cult]."
"Princess of the Puppet Kingdom controlled by the cult, get out of here! If you want to die, I'll grant your wish now."
Being ignored and despised by both sides of the battle, Alice couldn't help but get furious. These guys were destroying and killing everywhere in her own country, and they actually told her to get out of the way. Who were they looking down on?
I am the number one knight in the royal capital!
Alice gripped the sword tightly, the tip trembling slightly, a sign of rage and determination intertwined. Her eyes were cold as ice, but her voice carried undeniable authority:
"I am Alice Midgar, Protector of the Royal Capital. Whether you belong to the [Shadow Garden] or the [Order of Diabolos], your actions have gravely violated the laws of the kingdom. Today, I will not allow any of you to escape justice!" Before she had finished her words, Alice flashed like the brightest meteor in the night sky, slicing into the battlefield. Her swordsmanship was swift and precise, each strike carrying a force powerful enough to rip steel as she bore down on the black-clad women who called themselves the [Shadow Garden]. Meanwhile, facing the members of the Diabolos Order, she showed no mercy, her enemies falling one after another at the touch of her sword.
What surprised Alice was that the woman from [Shadow Garden] could not only dodge her attacks, but also easily tear through her knight uniform with her sword.
So strong, these people from Shadow Garden are so strong.
"Alice Midgar, your strength is only very good in the surface world, but you still can't participate in the battle between [Shadow Garden] and the Diabolos Cult."
"what?"
Alice simply felt insulted, and poured a huge amount of magic power into the sword, determined to take down the woman in front of her.
However, before Alice could swing her magic-infused sword, she was suppressed by the black-clad girl from Shadow Garden and forced into a blocking and defensive state. How could such a crude defense withstand the attack of the black-clad girl? It only took two moves to successfully break through the defense, and she was kicked several meters away.
"Princess Alice really wants to play, so PX-2, you play with her and her men, but don't die."
"receive"
A figure rushed out from the building. It was 6 meters tall and was holding a headless corpse in its hand, which it had casually thrown aside.
The giant with blond hair and white beard that appeared before her, like a little Titan, really scared Alice. How could a human be so tall?
"This is PX-2, a clone created by Shadow-sama based on his bloodline genes. He was once a great pirate who could single-handedly destroy Midgard. Although he lacks his Green Blood to unleash his original abilities, his powerful body and transformations can still destroy weaker enemies."
Alice struggled to her feet, her cheeks flushed with anger and shock, her eyes gleaming with an unprecedented determination. She had never imagined that the power she was so proud of would be so insignificant in front of this organization called Shadow Garden.
The giant PX-2 before her, its terrifying form and carelessly discarded headless corpse, looked like a demon from hell, sending a chill down her spine. "You... you think you can make me surrender like this?"
Alice's voice trembled, but her tone revealed an unyielding determination.
"The people of Midgar will not let you go! Justice will prevail!"
Upon hearing this, PX-2 simply let out a deep laugh that echoed like thunder, instilling fear in the air. He slowly walked towards Alice, each step seeming to tread on her heartstrings, causing her to feel an unprecedented pressure.
"Justice? In this world, power is everything. Midgard? It's just an insignificant corner in our eyes."
PX-2's voice was deep and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Alice's heart.
"like this"
A dazzling light gathered in the palm of PX-2's hand. Alice looked at the palm of PX-2 with vigilance. Her instinct told her that she would die if she didn't avoid it.
boom!
The beam of light flew past her ear faster than Alice had expected and hit the house behind. The house was directly destroyed, and many pieces of rubble killed and injured passers-by who did not have time to escape.
There may be innocent people among them, but more of them are members or prospective members of the Diabolos sect.
Alice looked at the spot hit by the laser in horror and said:
"what is that?"
The girl in black clasped her hands together and said sarcastically:
"Laser, well, it doesn't matter if Princess Alice finds out. You can't make it anyway."
Not every world has a peerless genius named Vegapunk.
Alice clenched her fists unwillingly, her eyes suddenly turned red. What did she mean by Midgard couldn't be created?
"nonsense!"
The girl in black stepped forward and said:
"Princess Alice, you will just clean up the mess later. No need to fight. You can't even defeat the Diabolos Order's alternate Knights of the Round Table, let alone the Knights of the Round Table. This is for your own good."
Alice's eyes widened as she glared at the arrogant girl in black. Her words were like a sharp knife, piercing the pride of the Kingdom of Midgar. "What do you think you can decide with this kind of technology?"
Midgar's spirit and courage are absolutely not something you who rely on external forces can understand!
The girl in black chuckled, and after reading the dissatisfaction in Alice's eyes, she couldn't help but reveal her disdain and contempt.
Courage? Without the support of equal strength, it is just another name for stupidity.
No one understands this better than Shadow Garden.
"PX-2, let's go to the next location."
With that, both the black-clad girl and PX-2 disappeared without a trace in front of Alice's eyes.
Alice Midgar couldn't help but widen her eyes, rubbed them carefully and said:
"Damn it, where did the people go? Was it magic or taijutsu?"
The Knights who were running over from behind also witnessed this scene, and they all felt a mixture of emotions, but one of them still stepped forward and said:
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
