Bone King: Homemade plug-in, I am the god of destiny Chapter 135

City streets.

The continuous explosions from the direction of the Royal City had long since woken the residents of the capital from their sleep. Upon seeing the soaring flames, they became even more terrified.

So, when the city guards came to notify everyone of an emergency evacuation, most residents reacted quickly. After packing their valuables and some food, they frantically moved towards the city gates.

The evacuation of personnel was not easy because the number was simply too large. The entire road was jammed with evacuating civilians.

This situation was extremely dangerous. If an enemy were to attack the civilians at this moment, even a third-tier fireball spell could cause over a dozen casualties.

Compared to the streets, the forest area on the west side of the Royal City was much more spacious.

Although there were residences here, they were all large estates. Ordinary people were not qualified to live in such places.

Before them was a very luxurious estate, but it was clear that there was a large hole in the center of the estate’s main house, likely caused by a magical attack.

The main battlefield in the city was the Royal City of Re-Estize. Except for some areas near the East Gate, which were destroyed by the charge of the demon army, other places were not affected.

Therefore, the destruction suffered by this estate had occurred before the great battle.

Evileye, wearing a red cloak, led a team here. Without a word, everyone immediately began searching the estate.

There were many corpses inside the estate, scattered haphazardly on the ground, as if there hadn’t been time to deal with them.

But that made sense.

This was one of the Eight Fingers’ strongholds. Although their previous attack had ended in failure, since the stronghold had been exposed, it was not surprising for Eight Fingers’ personnel to relocate.

Evileye walked with hurried steps, checking among the bodies, and finally found her target near the corner of a corridor—a slender woman.

“Tina…”

Evileye picked up the woman and let out a sigh of relief.

Although all of Tina’s equipment had been taken, as long as she found the person, new equipment could be crafted later.

She took out a shroud from her magical pouch to prevent the corpse from decaying and wrapped Tina like a spring roll.

Before this, she had already found Gagaran and Tia, who had died in other Eight Fingers’ strongholds, and had heard news about Lakyus from the city guards.

Now, all five members of Blue Rose were finally gathered.

“First, send Tina and the others to a safe place. The capital is no longer safe.”

Evileye carried Tina out of the estate and saw the flashing magical lights and accompanying violent explosions in the distance, sighing with emotion.

And somewhere in the city’s outskirts, another person expressed the same sentiment.

He wore a set of luxurious brocade clothes that ordinary people could not possess, was not very tall, and had slightly loose, fleshy cheeks.

He was none other than the Second Prince of the Kingdom, Zanac, who had escaped to the city’s outskirts in advance.

Beside him, the beautiful girl with sapphire-like eyes, who else could it be but Princess Renner?

“My sister, where should we go now?”

Zanac stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the capital, and asked Renner with a complex expression.

Having escaped the Royal Palace in advance, they did not know what was happening inside the Royal City. The moment Zanac saw the terrifying demon army attacking the city, he had already determined that the capital was very likely to fall.

In that case, the chances of his father, the King, who was unwilling to leave the capital, surviving were naturally slim.

After losing the capital, their direct territory, the Royal Family still had some remaining lands, but a significant decrease in strength was inevitable.

Perhaps this would even trigger a new round of power struggles, leading the already dire kingdom to a state of fragmentation.

Thinking about the various situations that might occur afterward, Zanac felt his mind in turmoil, unable to make a correct judgment.

“Brother, let’s first take refuge in a nearby Royal Family direct territory. After the situation in the capital settles down, we can consider what to do next.”

Renner’s emotions did not seem to be affected, but her expression was somewhat stiff, not as vibrant as before.

This was normal.

The only person she cared about in the entire kingdom was her ‘pet,’ Climb. Climb’s whereabouts were unknown during the attack on the Eight Fingers’ stronghold, and he was very likely dead.

To find his body in the current chaotic situation and revive him was beyond her capabilities.

Without Climb, she was too lazy to maintain her usual facade.

“…Let’s do that.”

Zanac glanced at Renner, understood that she was in a bad mood, and did not ask further. He nodded and turned to walk towards the carriage.

Considering their safety, the old king had dispatched a twenty-man Royal Palace Guard to serve as their bodyguards when arranging their evacuation.

With their protection, the journey to the direct territory should not be a big problem.

Just as Zanac and Renner were boarding the carriage and getting ready, one of the nearby Royal Palace Guards seemed to sense something and suddenly shouted towards a direction in the darkness, “Who’s there!?”

His shout immediately attracted the attention of the other guards. They all looked into the darkness and drew their swords, nervously on guard.

Thump thump thump!

A man in armor came into their sight. Seeing the adventurer’s identity tag hanging around his neck, the guards slightly relaxed.

“Where are you from, adventurer!”

The guard captain stepped forward to question the man’s identity.

The man did not answer but scanned the crowd, finally fixing his gaze on Princess Renner.

“Excuse me, are you Her Highness the Golden Princess?”

Hearing the man’s question, a thoughtful look appeared in Renner’s eyes, and she then said, “I am Renner. You must be an adult from the Faith of Destiny, correct? May I ask why you are looking for me?”

A hint of surprise flashed across the man’s face, admiring Renner for guessing his identity so quickly.

“As expected of Her Highness the Princess, as you surmised, I am indeed from the Faith of Destiny. I have come to find you by the order of Lord God. Please come with us.”

“…May I ask why Lord God wishes to see me?”

“I am not aware of that. My orders were only to find you,” the man shook his head, indicating his lack of knowledge.

The Royal Palace Guards naturally would not allow the man to take the princess. The captain immediately stepped forward and declared, “Don’t be ridiculous! We are ordered by His Majesty the King to protect the princess and prince with our lives. You, an unknown person, will not take the princess away!”

The man was not surprised by the guards’ reaction. He slowly drew the sword from his waist and said, “I apologize, but we have no intention of discussing this amicably with you.”

We?

As the guard captain felt confused, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, as if cold metal had been pressed against it.

“Don’t move, or I cannot guarantee your life.”
