Gabriel Empire’s capital, Gabriels City, the upper reaches of the Claudina River, Elitechra Academy campus, one of the Twelve Human Academies, Elite Plains…

The peace here was broken not long after the Hundred Flowers Festival hosted by the Gabriel Empire.

A deafening explosion rang from the docks. All the ships that had arrived here were blown up. When Bella and Kriss walked out of the cave after gathering the Boon of the Land, they were shocked by the sight before their eyes. They saw a huge mushroom cloud rising from the docks. The mushroom cloud looked like the one created by a nuclear bomb explosion on Earth.

Both Bella and Kriss were interdimensional travelers. They knew about nuclear weapon explosions. Bella knew that another world was unlikely to have nuclear explosions unless it was the Mechanical Creator, Andrea, who liked to travel to the other worlds. Only she could bring her sci-fi gadgets here by some mistake. Otherwise, something as horrible as a nuclear weapon explosion could not appear.

Bella quickly mobilized the Demonic Eyes in the sky, asking them to quickly scan the latest live map of the entire Elite Plain. All the ships at the docks and the boats brought by the students who participated in the Hundred Flower Festival were all blown to pieces. Not even a complete plank could be found. Fortunately, everyone had already left. And those who remained on the standby on the boats were all boatmen hired by the nobles. Their deaths weren’t a big loss to the nobles.

However, the huge explosion had blasted through the bed of the Claudina River. A huge whirlpool had appeared on the river, directly blocking all the waterways. The huge depression created by the explosion caused a huge chasm to appear at the bottom of the river. The river water was being sucked inside this chasm, forming a strange vortex.

The explosion also destroyed the road from the Elitechra Academy’s campus to the Gabriel Empire capital, Gabriels City, cutting off the connection between the Elite Plain and the capital. The noble young men and women who came to participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival could not return to the capital for the time being. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

The Gabriel Empire had few magical teleportation arrays between the cities. There was no magic teleportation array in the Elite Plain. This time, one could only wait for the waterways or the roads to recover to return to the capital. Bella opened the screen and switched to the capital, Gabriels City.

Bella’s bad premonition was immediately confirmed. The capital had fallen into chaos. The armies of the four major forces had surrounded the capital. It wasn’t that they wanted to revolt openly. Today, shortly after the guests, who had participated in the Hundred Flowers Festival, had left, a major rebellion had occurred in Gabriels City. Rebels of unknown origin had invaded from God knows where, dying the capital red in blood. The whereabouts of Emperor Alfred the Third and other imperial family members remained unknown.

The four noble forces, who had been waiting outside Gabriels City for a long time, all sent out their troops to surround the capital in the name of escorting. However, three of them did not plan to charge into the capital immediately. They were all waiting for the news of Emperor Alfred the Third’s death. After they got the news of the Emperor’s death, they would send troops to suppress the rebellion.

Only the Emperor’s father-in-law’s army, Prince Anders Army, wanted to rescue. But it was blocked by Prince Frauer and Prince Brad’s army outside the capital. This royal family political farce, where the younger and elder brother of the emperor were preventing the father-in-law of the emperor from saving him, was being played out outside the capital in such an unscrupulous manner. The three major families headed by the Renald Family chose to watch. They didn’t support the army of any side.

Bella’s Southern Alliance troops didn’t move. They were stationed in the same place and declared that they would wait for the Grand Duchess Bellina’s return before deciding anything. This bombing incident might have been set up to prevent Grand Duchess Bellina from returning to the Southern Alliance camp. Bella found a large number of third-party demons in the sky. Obviously, the other party planned on blocking the sky.

All these third-party demons flying in the sky were all self-exploding type flying demons and happened to be carrying alchemy product explosives. This prevented Dragon Knight Bella from summoning a dragon mount and taking the sky route to return to the Southern Alliance military camp and commanding them to the battle. All aspects had been considered. The person who was leading the rebellion not only planned against Bella but also against the Hilikas Family.

As the guardian family of the empire, the Hilikas Family should have appeared on the scene at the first notice. However, Bella looked back and forth at the video of the capital but couldn’t find the Hilikas Family. If the Hilikas Family didn’t participate in the rebellion, it would only mean that the stronghold of their family, the Sanctuary of Swords, had also fallen.

If the Hilikas Family wasn’t there, no one was there to deter the three princes and the three families at all. The biggest instability factor, Bella was no longer here. The Southern Alliance troops had no leader. As long as no one attacked their camp, the Southern Alliance troops would watch the fire burn from afar, acting as a spectator.

“Bella, what’s wrong? Why is your expression so strange?”

“Kriss, your family… see for yourself!”

“How could this happen. What about the people of the Hilikas Family?”

“I don’t know. My scout demons have not found the specific locations of the Sanctuary of Swords. I am unable to find the reason why they didn’t make any move.”

Kriss’ expression became complicated. She had no idea what she should do. Fortunately, several of the princesses, who she was acquainted with and came to participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival, didn’t stay in the capital. Moreover, the famous princes’ eldest daughters were hiding in Bella’s Southern Alliance Base, which was very safe. This rebellion had no direct impact on them.

“Kriss, don’t worry. Let’s find the Spirit of the Sea first. My scout demons will have found its location. Once we find it, we will immediately return to the capital. Don’t worry, I control the Southern Alliance army. I can control them remotely any time.”

“In that case, Bella, I will listen to you.”

While Kriss was puzzled, Bella provided her will all the necessary support. She had already spotted the Spirit of the Sea with the Demonic Eyes. What surprised Bella was that the position of the Spirit of the Sea was always moving. This flower seemed to turn into a sprite or had been taken by others as it seemed to walk around like it had grown legs.

In order to not make Kriss nervous again, Bella didn’t tell her that the Spirit of the Sea could move. She returned to the Elite Plain that was in chaos with Kriss. Everyone was in a mess. They had seen the horrible explosion that was like a terrorist attack. Because the news was blocked, apart from Bella and her people, the princes present here, including the crown prince, Prince Daniel, had no idea that a war had already started at the capital.

“Everyone, don’t be nervous. The capital will surely send someone to clear the passage soon.”

“This is the imperial capital area. Everyone, don’t be nervous, you are all safe.”

These comforting words were soon slapped back in their face as the mushroom cloud in the sky covered the entire Elite Plain. The Elite Plain fell into strange darkness as the sunlight couldn’t reach here. Countless mutated undead emerged from the Claudina River, walking on the Elite Plains.

These undead were the result of the resentment of the dead who had drowned in the Claudina River before. Most of the corpses were bloated and had lost all resemblance to human figures. The sight of these swarms walking up the shore looked like doomsday. Many cowardly female guests ran to the rear in fright.

Due to the sunlight in the day and frequent activities of the demonic beasts at night, they didn’t dare to go ashore. As the sun was blocked this time and there was no sunlight, these demons took the opportunity to go ashore and make some trouble. All the guests participating in the Hundred Flowers Festival were basically swordsmen. Not to mention long-range magic attacks, there wasn’t anyone with a long-range profession. Owing to which, they could only watch these undead make their way on the land.

“Damn, we don’t have any weapons. Let’s retreat!”

“Don’t squeeze. Let me go first, I am the young master of the Grand Duke Lawrence’s House. I…”

“Go away, who cares whether your family is related to the Grand Duke or Prince.”

The fleeing nobles showed no aristocratic demeanor at all. Everywhere was crowded. They were acting like people escaping from the zombie tide in the apocalypse. They were showing no morals. Many nobles, who came to participate in the Hundred Flower Festival, didn’t carry weapons with them. They had left their weapons and armor on the boats. All of which had been reduced to nothing with the explosion long ago.

And the swordsmen, who had the swords, only had the swords, that’s all. They didn’t wear any armor. And a swordsman with only a sword and no armor could only act passively against the undead. Once they were scratched by the undead, they would very likely be infected and turn into the very undead they were hunting. At this critical moment of life and death, many male aristocrats ran away, leaving the noble girls behind. All these noble ladies were from famous aristocratic families and had never seen such horrifying scenes. They all hunkered down on the ground, paralyzed in fright.

They were even more disappointed. Their temporary boyfriends, who had been sweet talking with them, silently ran away, leaving their temporary girlfriends behind. It was too sad. Bella, on the other hand, didn’t run. Seeing the abandoned girls, she couldn’t leave them alone. She couldn’t watch these young ladies being infected by the undead. It would be a waste.

However, Bella had no intention of letting too many people see the strength of Lolita and the others. These undead were basically hunting based on the smell of the living people. They were blind like the undead Bella had encountered. The male nobles had taken a refuge in the forest on the Elite Plain. They didn’t care about the life and death of these ladies.

“Everyone, follow me. Let’s go there and hide!”

Under Bella’s loud call, all the girls present retreated in the direction of the Star of the Sky that Bella had taken out. Not all the girls trusted Bella but the light in Bella’s hands was the only light here. The princesses present here retreated with Bella, and everyone followed after them, believing it was the right choice to follow the princesses.

The undead chasing after the girls kept a certain distance and couldn’t catch up. It wasn’t an issue of speed. Rather Bella had relied on the cover of the darkness to quietly summon many ghosts. These ghosts secretly tripped the undead, making them always maintain a certain distance from the ladies, preventing them from catching up.

Girls’ physical strength couldn’t be compared with the boys. Except for Bella, most of them couldn’t run that fast. Bella too didn’t take them afar. She went straight to the mysterious cave they had just come out from. Many ladies couldn’t walk anymore. They stopped at the entrance of the cave in a dilemma. Isn’t this the legendary mysterious cave where anyone who went in disappeared? Why did Bella bring us here?

“Grand Duke Bellina, isn’t this cave very dangerous? Why don’t you take us to another place?!”

“Grand Duke Bellina, how about you summon the flying drake and take a few princesses away. We really can’t walk anymore.”

“Don’t panic everyone. I have a way to trick the undead but I will need your cooperation. You will have to do what I say!”

There was a treacherous smile hanging on Bella’s lips. Kriss, who had been holding Bella’s hand, was first to spot this perverted smile. This Demon Queen doesn’t even forget to take advantage of the girls even in this dangerous situation. She is really dedicated. Most of the noble ladies here didn’t know about the danger posed by Bella. They were fooled by the Demon King’s serious expression.

“There is a pool there. Everyone, take off all your clothes and wash off the human scent on your body. The undead will follow the direction of your clothes and leave.”

“Grand Duke Bellina, is there no other way? It’s very cold here. Let us keep one or two pieces of clothes!”

“Everyone is a girl here. Don’t be afraid. Just hold each other to warm yourselves. Also, you have to take off all your clothes. Whoever brings even one piece will be dooming everyone to death.”

At the request of Bella, who was pretending to be serious, the ladies shyly took off their clothes and went into the cave to hide. They used the pool inside the cave to wash their entire bodies. Because the water here was used by demons to build weapons, it quickly covered the human scent on these young ladies.

Under Bella’s secret command, the ghosts she had summoned soon put on the clothes scattered on the ground and floated away in other directions, pretending to be the young ladies. Because of the human smell of the original owner on the clothes, the undead chasing after them mistakenly believed the ghosts to be the food they wanted to catch. They quickly chased after them in different directions.

The temperature in the cave wasn’t that high and without any clothing on their bodies, the ladies drenched in water held each other to keep themselves warm. Bella unscrewed the strange perfume bottle and threw it into the cave. Under the lure of the strange fragrance, these young ladies would soon awaken other strange sexual preferences.

“Everyone, hide yourself. I’ll go and find the rescue team and send new clothes to you. Before that, everyone should stay here.”

Bella left Lolita and the three lolis nearby to guard the entrance of the cave before she secretly left with Princess Kriss. The beautiful girls in the cave began doing all kinds of strange things that couldn’t be described under the influence of the strange fragrance. Bella temporarily came up with plans to take advantage of this crisis to pull the noble ladies of the Gabriel Empire into girls love paradise. In the future, when she is engaged to Kriss, these noble ladies of the girls love paradise would stand by their side.

Bella and Kriss didn’t leave. They just stood outside the cave and retreated in the name of seeking rescue teams. Bella didn’t have the time to appreciate the seductive atmosphere in the cave. Bella and Kriss were looking for the Spirit of the Sea. According to the latest information from the Demonic Eyes flying in the sky, the location of the Spirit of the Sea was finally determined.

“Bella, you are so bad. All these young ladies will be broken by you!”

“Kriss, you are wrong. Their temporary boyfriends ran away by themselves. No matter whether they live or die, I just wanted them to know that sometimes they can rely on women!”

“Bella, let’s go find the Spirit of the Sea. I want to go back to the capital as soon as possible to check the situation there.”

Bella and Kriss were walking in the dark Elite Plain. Bella led Kriss using her extraordinary night vision. The night vision of the Demonic Eyes wasn’t as good as Bella’s. Bella temporarily gave up on their navigation and quickly moved toward the location according to the direction in her memory.

Now, Bella and Kriss were moving together. There were no secrets to hide between them. A pair of temporary flying wings appeared behind Bella. They were the tools used by high-level evil demons to fly. They were specially prepared for the evil demons who were born without wings. Bella had taken several pairs from the Demon Empress under her. They just came in handy.

Bella only dared to fly with Kriss at low altitude. This kind of low altitude was less than half a meter from the ground. It was difficult for her to fly too high. The sky was full of flying demons everywhere. If she flew too high, she would be easily caught and would be attacked from everywhere. After flying a certain distance, Bella helplessly discovered that they had arrived at a battlefield.

In front of Bella, a group of human heroes were locked in combat with another group of demons in the dark. There was a Demon King on the battlefield. Bella had noticed the aura of that Demon King from far away already. She had met with that Demon King. And because she seemed to be acquainted with Demon King, Bella didn’t choose to make a detour with Kriss. She went straight to see who the two fighting parties were.

“Moon Demon King Gonias, why is she here? Isn’t that Akmans, the hero who sold my Great Evil Slaying Sword! He is also…”

Bella could clearly see the appearance of both parties with her night vision. She knew both of them. One was Moon Demon King Gonias, who she had met during the mutation of Cruise City. Gonias was leading the Demon King Army. The other guy was the interdimensional traveler of the Savior Camp, the God Chosen Holy Sword, Akmans, who had sold her Great Evil Slaying Sword. Akmans was fighting with a large team of heroes.

Both sides were locked in a state of confrontation. Bella felt a little embarrassed. This was the battlefield of another Demon King. She was embarrassed to rob the business of her peer.
