PFC Chapter 675 Entering the City
Chapter 675 Entering the City
"It's getting foggy?"
Looking at the white mist drifting in from afar, General Macaron stood on the city wall he had just captured, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
"Sir, the enemy has begun to retreat into the city. Should we continue the pursuit?"
Just as he was gazing at the white mist in silence, an officer came to his side and asked for the next instructions.
Upon hearing this, General Macaron immediately came to his senses and then turned his gaze to the battlefield.
Just now, with the help of the insect demons, they successfully breached the defenses of White Chocolate City and led their men to occupy the city walls.
In fact, at this point, they had basically won. Although the remaining remnants of the army had retreated into the city, they could quickly gain control of the city after some mopping-up operations.
Therefore, after hearing the officer's words, General Macaron did not think too much and quickly ordered an operation to enter the city to pursue and eliminate the enemy.
Of course, not knowing if the other side had any other tricks up its sleeve, he asked the insect demons for help while instructing his subordinates.
It sounds like the insect demons are their babysitters. Of course, although it sounds very embarrassing, General Macaron doesn't care. Or rather, as long as he can reduce the losses of his men, there's nothing he won't do.
If losing face can reduce losses, then General Macaron would have already humiliated himself without anyone else even lifting a finger.
Alright, overall this was a gratifying victory. Not only did we defeat most of the enemy's manpower, but we also gained control of the entire battle. Now, all we need to do is proceed steadily and surely, and we can quell the war without expending much effort.
But thinking about this, General Macaron remembered the request he had made to those insect demons...
"To see the Queen... sigh..."
.......
Following General Macaron's orders, the Allied forces began to split into multiple squads and enter the city.
However, unlike the previous sieges, this time the soldiers did not act together with the insect demons. The reason for this was that the two sides were incompatible, and in addition, there was the reason that their functions were different.
The soldiers were mainly responsible for clearing the area and restoring control of it, with the overall approach being to proceed steadily and cautiously.
The insect demons charged forward, taking down anyone who stood in their way. As a result, their advance was quite rapid, and in no time, they had left the Sweetheart soldiers far behind.
The fastest of the insect demon squads had already reached a point not far from the city lord's mansion.
"What a thick fog..."
Looking at the white mist drifting around them, one of the insect demons holding a strange object couldn't help but sigh.
"The fog gets thicker the deeper we go in; if we keep going like this, I'm going to get lost..."
He licked the strange thing in his hand and then made a comment.
"It is a bit big, but it's okay, I have a keen eye for detail..."
"Pfft~ Your eyes are practically closed, if no one told you, people would think you're cosplaying a blind person..."
"Get lost!! I'm cosplaying a blind person and you're cosplaying a guide dog, huh? Want to call me 'master' and I'll throw you a bone...?"
"you!!"
"Alright, stop arguing! Didn't we agree to be the first team to capture the city lord's mansion? Your dawdling is slowing us down!"
"Can't you just follow me properly? Once we get in, we'll be the first in the city to get that kill, wouldn't that be awesome? Then we'll... Little Green, can you stop licking that fake hook of yours? It's disgusting. If you like it, I'll find you a whole bunch when we get back!"
"Go to hell with your fake hook! This is a lollipop, okay?! It's a local specialty, you know? I'm seriously fucking idiot..."
"Pfft~ Hahaha!!!"
The insect demon squad chatted and laughed as they made their way forward. They peeled away layers of white mist and arrived at the city lord's mansion.
"Why is it so quiet inside? In a normal dungeon, there should be a final boss here."
"Could it be that someone else beat them to it?"
"Impossible! Who can be faster than us?"
The insect demons didn't linger at the entrance and quickly entered. However, once inside, they found it extremely quiet, with no enemies in sight, and it seemed no different from any other place.
This immediately puzzled the demons, since in their view, such a place should be guarded by the big boss, how could there be no one there?
Some of them, not believing in the superstition, continued to venture deeper and soon arrived at the core of the city lord's mansion, which was the former council hall.
However, the place was now in ruins, with rubble everywhere, as if it had been the site of a fierce battle.
"Damn it, someone beat us to it!"
"Who is it! Who dares to cut in front of us three brothers!"
"Tsk~ Looks like I'll have to treat that kill-stealing guy as the final boss..."
The three insect demons were chattering away, and just as they were furious about having their kills stolen and wanted to find the thief to give them a good beating, the surrounding white mist suddenly began to tremble.
call! ! !
call! ! ! !
The white mist trembled violently, the wind howled, and ghosts wailed. This huge commotion terrified the three insect demons.
"Holy crap! Why is the wind so strong?!"
"Is there a ghost here...?"
"The monsters and ghosts leave quickly! The monsters and ghosts leave quickly!"
The three insect demons' gazes shifted constantly through the mist, and their expressions seemed somewhat tense.
Hey! Look at that!
Suddenly, the insect demon who had licked the fake hook pointed towards the main entrance of the council hall. In the center of the white mist, a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Fuck me!"
Upon seeing this, the insect demons were terrified and made exaggerated faces. They quickly shielded everyone in front of them, shivering uncontrollably.
The monster in the fog had eight arms and was much taller than the three of them combined. It looked like a ghost from a horror movie, and combined with the eerie atmosphere of the surrounding hazy white fog, it was quite frightening.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Just as the insect demons huddled together, trembling and muttering incessantly, the monster on the other side suddenly stopped and tossed something over.
Boom! ! !
With a muffled thud, everyone looked down and discovered that what had been thrown was none other than a bloody... human head!!!
