Chapter 594: Chapter 523: Heart Demon Clan (Major Chapter)
Tang Yu received the message, already over a dozen minutes later.
General Dulu was long devoid of any breath, his death thorough.
From the wounds, it could be inferred that he had been hurt by a special kind of flame, fiercely burning, yet General Dulu had no capability to expel the special flame that had penetrated his body.
Until the moment he perished, the flame had also vanished, leaving behind a head with a blurred face, a neck, and a small part of the chest.
A dozen minutes earlier, when General Dulu still had a faint sign of life, even being corroded by the special flame, he could have been saved.
Now?
Chilled, beyond saving, bury him.
âThe person who made the move must have strength far surpassing General Duluâs.â
Eileen, who had specially rushed over from Green Shadow, analyzed, âThe other party must have thought that General Dulu was undoubtedly doomed, hence they did not continue to pursue. Or perhaps General Dulu was merely bait.â
The latter possibility clearly seemed higher.
Intentionally letting General Dulu escape, to test for possible accomplices.
The relationship between the Wing Corps and Town West City had unquestionably been exposed, thankfully, what was exposed was not a secret base; the problem was not significant, so there was no panic.
Tang Yu still wanted to rant about Town West City Lord Mansion.
What did they say before coming?
Swore earnestly, to be careful and cautious, to only look into the reasons for the loss of contact with the previous batches of Transcendents who had sought help, not to delve deep, even if encountering danger, they would not involve the people of Green Shadow.
Now, whatâs with this stupidity, flying towards the Wing Corpsâ garrison?
No pursuers in sight, but it had attracted the attention of the outer cityâs Patrol Army, and it took Zabol a great deal of effort to bluff his way through the incident.
All just to inform that thereâs a problem with the Royal Family?
Tang Yu stroked his chin, falling deep into thought.
Before coming, the Town West City Lord Mansion had suspicions that the previously missing Transcendents might be linked to the Royal Family or certain upper-class nobles.
Whether it be nobles that bore grudges against Town West City in the past or those unwilling to allow the Iron Blood Duke into the Royal Capital at the cost of their interests, these conflicts of interest were enough to prompt the upper-class nobles to act.
The Royal Family with certain objectives was no different.
Why then bother to add that there was a problem with the Royal Family?
âUnless, itâs not due to noble infighting.â
The scene of the Black Tideâs outbreak, the changes in the Royal Capital over the past several decades, the world filled with deathly silence, the King who almost never left the court, the sacrifice that was to take place in a dozen days, the Eternal Wall that never had issues for thirty years, and that slightly discordant sensation within the Royal CapitalâŠ
His brain operated at high speed as if it were a computer.
Various clues flashed through his mind, converging one by one.
By stripping away all impossibilities, what remainedâŠ
Was the sole truth!
Boom!
As if a bolt of thunder had streaked across.
Tang Yuâs eyes lit up, thinking of Earth, the basic operations of the Devil Race, the Alien Race, a bold conjecture suddenly surfaced.
â The Royal Capital had long been controlled by an Alien Race!
If the Alien Race were orchestrating the Black Tide, they wouldnât possibly leave the Royal Capital, this most powerful bastion of resistance, uncontrolled.
âŠ
âLordâs guess is very likely.â
For safety, the group didnât stay long in the Wing Corpsâ garrison but returned to Green Shadow to convene a high-level meeting for analysis.
âThe âEternal Wallâ is indeed extraordinary in terms of defense, but every defense has its flaws, thereâs no such thing as absolute protection.â
Luo Zhe, the Armed Department Director mainly responsible for Green Shadowâs defense matters, said, âIf the Black Tide were all unintelligent monsters, relying on the âEternal Wall,â it might indeed hold steady, but Transcendent-Tier Dark Creatures undoubtedly possess intelligence, and not low at that. With such a large stretch of wall, with few Transcendents stationed, there must be weak points.â
âMoreover, the Black Tide might very likely be backed by an Alien Race who are more cunning. Inside the territory of Daxia Country, there have been many Sanctuaries infiltrated by the Alien Race, not to mention the evident target of the Royal Capital⊠Whether itâs the Wing Corps returning from scouting or the Eternal Army entering and leaving the city to collect spoils of war, both are opportune moments for Alien Race infiltration.
An Awakening Tier facing a Transcendent would not have any capability to resist.â
Some pointed out that the âEternal Wallâ might have detection Arrays that could prevent Alien Race infiltration.
However, originally when Lorraine and several other Transcendents completely blocked their own aura with artifacts, following the Wing Corpsâ team into the Royal Capital, the entry was very smooth.
Detection Arrays should indeed exist, yet they couldnât really guard against Alien Race infiltration.
Pausing for a moment, Luo Zhe continued, âMoreover, the âEternal Wallâ crafted by Lord, after our testing, Transcendents at First Tier had no possibility of breaking through, but Second Tier, itâs hard to say now, its anti-flight Array also cannot completely suppress Second Tier Experts.â
âTherefore, the âEternal Wallâ plan is very likely a result of the Alien Raceâs own scheming⊠The Royal Family, is likely controlled by the Alien Race, or rather, they simply masquerade as the Royal Family!â
Luo Zhe further speculated, and Tang Yu secretly agreed.
But there were some things that were unclear.
The current King, and the prior generations of the Royal Familyâs Guardiansâthese masters of real powerâwere undoubtedly the most Peak experts, control? Nearly impossible!
Masquerade? Also difficult to maintain for decades without any slip-ups, even though the King lived reclusively, he still needed to interact with others⊠and Transcendents were exceedingly sensitive, any slight irregularity might allow them to sense the Alien Raceâs disguise.
And another thing,
The Royal Family⊠the Alien Race, controlling a population of hundreds of millions in the Royal Capital, for what purpose?
Most of the Aino continent lay in eerie silence, indicating that the worldâs barriers were also riddled with holes⊠The Devil Race invaded various worlds to Devour the planetsâ Origin⊠The Origin of the planet on which the Aino continent was located, must have been mostly Devoured already, only the surviving cities still had vitality.
