The Dark King C771

Chapter 771 – Chapter 761: Catch Up [ Second Watch ]

When urita arrived at the square, she saw the towering statue of the god collapsed on the square. The perfect face on the statue was stuck to the muddy water, allowing the dirty rain to wash over it. On the altar where the statue was standing.., there was a huge hole.

She was stunned for a second before she rushed to the altar. The hole under the altar had been destroyed by someone. There were dents made by swords on the outside of the hole. She quickly jumped in. Under the hole was a secret chamber made of granite, the Secret Chamber was not big. There were no unnecessary items on display in it, but at this moment, there was nothing.

The last glimmer of hope in her heart was instantly extinguished. She stood in the Secret Chamber in a daze, as if she had lost her soul. Her eyes were dull.

After a long, long time.

She slowly came back to her senses. The corners of her mouth moved slightly. She turned around and quietly climbed out of the secret chamber. At this time, she saw the other counts and generals rushing over, but a few noble counts were driving a carriage, they were also wearing raincoats, and there were servants beside them holding umbrellas, afraid that they would be splashed by the rain.

When she saw the appearance of these people, a bitter smile appeared on her beautiful and heroic little face.

“Your Highness, Your Highness!”

One of the generals, who was completely drenched, hurriedly ran over. He opened the umbrella in his hand and covered Ulita's head, he said with concern, “Your Highness, Are You Alright? What did you mean when you said that the god's corpse was stolen? have those intruders been here before?”

As he spoke, he glanced around. When he saw the hole under the altar, his expression changed slightly as if he had thought of something.

At this moment, the other generals and earls also surrounded him.

“Your Highness, haven't these intruders already left?”

“Are they still here with us?”

“My God, isn't this too dangerous? Don't they plan to leave?”

The few earls looked around nervously, afraid that the intruders would suddenly appear. They had heard the inside story of the puggle mountain range and knew how terrifying these intruders were, it was not like the situation where the commoners said that they had won a great victory and expelled the intruders.

Faced with the Earls'questioning tone, Ulita lowered her head indifferently. At this moment, she looked extremely disheveled. Her hair was disheveled and wet from the rain. It draped over her face. After a moment of silence, she suddenly thought of something, she sniffed lightly and her expression changed. She quickly pushed away the crowd and rushed into the rain.

Soon, he arrived at the building at the outer edge of the square. There was an alley here. At this moment, there was an old man lying on the ground at the entrance of the alley. His hair was white and he was lying face down on the ground. The rain below his body was dyed red, the blood flowed along the rain to the entrance of the surrounding sewer.

Ulita's face was pale. She hurriedly went forward to pick him up, only to see that he was already dead. His wrinkled old face was frighteningly pale, and there was a huge hole in his chest. His heart was missing, and there were a few claw marks on his throat, one of his arms was also broken. His abdomen was also torn open, and his intestines were dangling under his hip bone. It was not difficult to imagine what kind of terrible battle he had experienced earlier.

“Uncle Mick!”Ulita cried out in grief. She hugged him and cried into the sky.

Tears and rain mixed with each other fell from her face. It was as if the heavens were pitying her.

However, she felt that the cold rain was so merciless. After the grief and indignation, only hatred remained in her heart.

She carried the old man's corpse and slowly returned to the square. A group of generals and earls also came forward and looked at him with concern. Some people noticed the old man in her arms, but they were puzzled.

“Your Highness, who is this man?”

“Is he the intruder?”

Everyone looked puzzled.

Ulita was silent. When she heard that someone said he was an intruder, her face changed a little. She raised her head, she said expressionlessly, “He is my father's most trusted person. He has always lived here and pretended to be an ordinary lonely old man, guarding the god's corpse here. The last time the intruder took the god's coffin, it was just a smoke bomb. It was not the god's corpse, but this time, the god's corpse was really lost!”

Hearing her words, everyone looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

“Your Highness, What You Said… Is It True?”A general couldn't help but ask.

Ulita looked at him expressionlessly and said, “If we can't take back the God's corpse, after a while, you will see with your own eyes whether the god's corpse is lost or not.”

The general's face changed, and he couldn't help but shiver.

“Your Highness, the God's corpse is so important. How can it be hidden in a place like the altar? Isn't this… isn't this nonsense? !”A fifty-something-year-old earl with white hair scolded in anger.

Urita raised her eyelids and glanced at him, she said, “This was arranged by my father. If you have any objections, you can wait for my father to come back and talk to him. Besides, even if it was arranged under the palace, wasn't it also robbed? is the defense there weak?”

The Earl's expression changed slightly, and he could not speak.

“Your Highness, who else knows about the god's corpse hiding here besides you? How did these intruders know?”

“That's right. We've been here for so many years, but we didn't know about the god's corpse hiding here. How did these intruders find it?”

“There must be a mole!”

Hearing their words, Ulita felt a kind of irritation in her heart. It could even be said that she was manic. However, her restraint was extremely strong. Her fingers tightened slightly, and she took a deep breath, she said coldly, “No one else knows about this except my father, uncle Mick, and myself! “After the false god Coffin under the palace was robbed, I never came here. I was worried that they would follow me and trace me here, but they still found this place.”

“How is this possible? Did this Mick leak the secret?”

“He died in battle. How could he leak the secret?”

“Let's not talk about the strangeness of this matter for now. The priority now is to find the god's corpse. Since it has already been stolen, what's the point of thinking so much? If this group of intruders returns to their territory, we will be completely finished.”

“That's right. Let's think about how to find the god's corpse first!”

Ulita acted as if she did not hear the chattering of the crowd. Her gaze slowly shifted to a spot outside the square. If one observed carefully, there was a faint smell of blood on this route. Although it was covered by the rain.., the smell was very faint, but it should be the direction in which these intruders left.

She was silent for a moment, she said, “Immediately inform the dragon mother, Rock Demon, and wing king of the Witcher family. Tell them about this. Tell them to immediately lead the pioneers in the clan to intercept the intruders. I will go first and see if I can follow them. I will leave a scent along the way and let them follow my scent.”

“Your Highness, you want to go in person?”

“How can that be? There are masters among them!”

“Your Highness, you should stay here and take charge of the situation!”

The generals and earls quickly persuaded.

Urita ignored them, pushed away the crowd, turned around and rushed out.
