Daybreak came very quickly.
Wang Chu didn't feel sleepy in the second half of every battle.
He didn't start to feel heavy eyelids until the sun rose the next morning.
When they returned to the fleet last night, no one spoke a word after seeing him.
Even Rias simply asked a few times.
The fleet docked quietly until the sky fully lit up the next morning.
Just started to move.
No one on the deck slept, so they stayed close to each other until dawn.
In the morning, when people stood up, they could fully see what Xiushui Town looked like now.
Last night's stars fell on the town like a meteor shower.
Although everyone was mentally prepared, they couldn't help but sigh when they actually saw it.
All that's left of a quaint little city is ruins.
"The whole town is gone" "Yes, it's all gone."
Wang Chu also climbed on Rias's shoulder to look at the city in the river.
You can no longer see what it was like yesterday.
Except for the gate and the river at the door, most of the houses have been flattened by themselves.
Wang Chu didn't expect that his Star Falling had been strengthened to such an extent.
Although the Star Falling here was a directional attack magic, it still caused some damage to the surroundings.
If the opponent was lying on the window, the Star Falling might be shot in obliquely. , or knock it down directly from the roof.
Who knows, it’s already like this.
This kind of place is not suitable for long.
As long as it can be seen clearly, the fleet must leave quickly to avoid other attacks.
The thick fog on the river gradually dispersed, and there were no other ships in the river leading to Xiushui Town.
Everyone was in a good mood when they arrived yesterday evening.
They thought they were in a good place where they could get off the boat and go to a tavern to drink and pick up girls.
However, they didn't expect that the reality was much worse than imagined.
Now let’s take a look at the nearby watersheds on our way back.
The bank that had not been taken care of all year round was already covered with moss, and the river was full of garbage.
It was obvious that no one had cleaned it for a long time.
Usually a prosperous city has specialized river cleaners.
Their daily job is to clean the river water near the city.
This is also the face of the city.
But neither.
Various omens have long indicated that there is a problem in this city.
"But why didn't you say anything yesterday?"
Anyway, the soldiers on the deck had already come out and the conversation started to get very different.
"I told you there was a problem, I said so."
"You clearly said you wanted to see what a girl from the north looks like, and you also said you wanted a jug of good wine.
I remember seeing some last night, and the flesh was almost rotten
.
" ""
The chat between several soldiers reached a deadlock.
"Okay, you have nothing to do.
You should thank General Rias, His Excellency the King of the Forest, and the Archbishop.
Without them, I would still be able to listen to your nonsense here."

Nicos's voice came from a distance.
Come.
No one would care about ordinary chatting, but if the voice was slightly louder and disturbed the people next to them while they were resting, Nicos would scold him.
Speaking of what happened last night, Rias suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Wang Chu on her shoulder.
"Cam, what happened to you last night?"
When I came back yesterday, I looked at him as if he was tired, so I didn't ask him.
I just remembered it when I heard the soldier talking.
Everyone around seemed to be interested in this question.
When Rias asked, Lucia, the Archbishop and Akara all turned their heads and looked at this side.
"Death Knight, we are fighting the Death Knight."
Above the head, Anwenna jumped off the sail and said.
The name Death Knight was what Wang Chu told her last night.
Since it was asked, she answered first.
"Those dark knights in the shadows, no wonder.
If it were them, everything would be explained easily."
Benedictus is indeed a well-informed veteran.
He can think of the whole incident together as long as he tells the man behind the scenes.
"Archbishop, what do you mean?"
Akara asked in confusion.
"Death knights master the magic of death.
They can deprive all life instantly and turn living people into corpses.
I have seen them several times on the battlefield.
They usually hang out with necromancers.
They are saints.
The enemies of light have not been active in the open for many years since the Great Elf King defeated the strongest among them, so how could they appear in this place?"
Benedictus's words made a figure flash in Wang Chu's head.
That unreliable man We agreed to work together, but we couldn't see him every time we fought, and there was no way to contact him.
"Actually, Archbishop.
We have seen a death knight before, when we were in Hajar City."
Now that she has said this, Rias also expressed the questions in her heart.
It seems that she has been paying attention to this matter this year and has not forgotten it.
Rias briefly explained the incident that happened in Hajar City.
Someone with Benedictus' status should have known about it for a long time.
On the contrary, she did not know the actual situation of the empire's investigation.
Benedictus looked at the people around him.
Only these senior generals were present.
Soldiers usually did not deliberately stand with their leaders, so there was no one else around.
The strong wind on the deck makes it more suitable to say this than in the cabin.
"Since you all asked, let me tell you that after the incident in Hajar City, the empire also sent many people to investigate.
Do you remember the Midnight Sons?"
the archbishop said.
Rias and Lucia both nodded heavily.
Wang Chu remembered that for a while after the battle, Lucia was busy looking for information about them for a long time.
It was not until the two of them came to the imperial capital that they were unfamiliar with each other that they slowly put the matter aside.
"We are all connected to the news of the Midnight Son's reappearance, as well as the subsequent events in the Imperial Capital, and are conducting a secret investigation."

"What's the result?"
Rias asked hurriedly.
"There isn't much useful information.
The two things don't seem to be related.
We only found each other.
The purpose seems to be to find the ancient fire element trapped in the mountains of Hajar City.
Otherwise, there has been no progress.
But at midnight The news of the son's reappearance really shocked the empire and the northern countries, which may be the reason why they have not taken much action in this battle in the wilderness. " The archbishop didn't seem to know much more information than he did.
"If General Rias and Lord Cam want to know, I can give you all this information after returning to the Imperial Capital.
The battle between the believers of the Holy Light and the Sons of Midnight has been going on for a long time, and the cathedral has more information.
Comprehensive documentation.”
After all, they came out of the battlefield together, and now Benedictus is not as wary as before when facing his side
