Old days in the box

Chapter 36 An illusion that never existed
Mine clearing grids appeared one by one on the ground of the blockade.

"What... is this?" A soldier stepped back, and a "1" appeared on the grid under his feet.

"Is it really the sorcery of the evil god? Do they really have an envoy over there?" Another soldier also panicked, and he stepped forward and stepped on a "1".

"What do these numbers mean?" The soldiers discovered that numbers could be drawn out by stepping on the grid, and they stepped around one after another.

"It's also 1 on your side? What about your side? It's also 1?" Their commander was also puzzled and looked at his subordinates stepping on the "1" grid around them, "It's all 1? what does it mean?"

The commander looked puzzled, so he took a step forward and tried to step on the grid with "1"s all around.

Beep - bang!

An explosion rose from the spot, and the commander was blown away on the spot!

He stepped on thunder!
The surrounding soldiers all panicked, retreating one by one and walking around.

They stepped on more squares, some were "2", some were "3", and some were simply thunder.

Explosions started coming one after another from the blockade.

At this time, the civilian team that was with Sharon came here and found that half of the Kingdom soldiers on the blockade had been blown away, and the other half were still dancing carefully.

"What happened to them? Why...are they dancing on the grid?"

The people saw that the ground was full of numbers, and almost all the mines had been stepped on by the soldiers.

The remaining soldiers no longer cared about blocking the streets, they all just wanted to get out of this devil's grid.

Bang - bang!

Two more explosions occurred before their eyes, blowing up half of the remaining soldiers.

"This is the God who is clearing the way for us!" Sharon felt the familiar strange wind in the air and smiled.

Within the window, more minesweepers were rolled out toward the nearby blockade.

A large number of explosions began to be heard from neighboring streets, or even several streets away.

"Then what are you waiting for? Go!"

The civilians were surprised and immediately began to rush through the blockade in large numbers.

The heavy defense lines deployed by the general did not play a role in stopping them at all.

As the field of vision continued to expand, Zhou Xiao finally opened most of the map of the capital and saw the castle where the royal family was located.

From the vantage point overlooking the street, we can see that a large number of people are also coming to the surrounding streets.

All soldiers have been gathered here, vowing to prevent these civilians from attacking the castle.

"Why didn't the blockade take effect! Can't you even stop a group of civilians?" The general guarding the castle tower saw explosions everywhere in the city, and the voices of the people were getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but cursed.

"General! They have the help of the evil spirit of the deep-diving evil god, and many of us were killed!" said the soldier who fled back with his face covered in dust.

"What abyssal evil god? What we are fighting is an abyssal evil creature!"

"If you can't even deal with a group of evildoers, then what's the difference between you and trash?"

The general kicked the soldier away, furious.

"What are you yelling about? You'll be here soon." The general's voice was particularly prominent. As soon as Zhou Xiao narrowed his view to this side, he immediately heard his incompetence and rage.

Zhou Xiao glanced at the general, not even interested in clicking on his biography, and directly dragged Zuma into the window.

Window, near the Royal Castle.

The top of a bell tower was suddenly surrounded by strange winds, causing strange changes.

"Look! What is that!"

Because the bell tower is very high, not only the castle can see it, but even the civilians who are rushing to the castle also notice its unusual movement.

The top of the bell tower was suddenly distorted and recast by the void, and turned into a huge stone frog statue!
"Qing, frog? Is that also a miracle of the Children of the Past?"

The civilians who supported Sharon's advance were all dumbfounded.

Because there is indeed a huge stone frog statue lying on the bell tower at this moment. Its body is painted with ancient and complex patterns, and a blue light spits out from its mouth, aiming directly in the direction of the castle.

"It should be so..." Sharon was also a little confused about Lord God's path, but this familiar strange wind was unmistakable.

"Hmph, it's indeed a monster from the sea. It keeps changing like a frog. Take it down!"

Although the general was shocked for a moment, his expression soon turned into disdain and he immediately ordered.

But before the soldiers could take action, Zuma on the tower had already turned around first.

Then, it started spitting out colorful beads towards the castle!
Zuma is a stone frog standing in the center of the formation. It has to face the orbit of beads that are constantly rotating into it, and drive the colorful beads from its mouth into it.

At this time, beads of different colors began to fly into the soldiers guarding the city, bouncing around.

"That's a thrower, total defense!"

The soldiers guarding the city raised their heavy shields to defend themselves against the flying colorful beads.

Some of these beads are red, some yellow, and some green. Each one is about the size of a vegetable basket, which is not enough to penetrate the defense of heavy armor.

But the actual gameplay of Zuma is that when the beads of the same color reach three, they will be eliminated.

The third red bead flew into the castle, was blocked by the heavy shield and then fell to the ground, touching the other two red beads of the same color——

boom!
The familiar explosion sounded again, this time coming from inside the castle.

"What's going on?" The general turned back with a look of shock and anger, and the third green bead happened to fall at his feet.

Three beads exploded in succession, and a hole was directly blown out of the city gate tower.

The general fell from a height and screamed.

The other soldiers were all frightened. Many dropped their shields and swords on the spot and ran away. Some soldiers knelt down directly in front of the colorful beads around them.First numbers appeared on the ground, and then they exploded.

Now come the colorful beads, which will also explode.

This group of soldiers has begun to wonder, what else can't explode?
This deep-diving elf god is simply omnipotent!
Can this be called an evil thing?This is simply the Lord God!
At this time, the civilian team on Sharon's side had just rushed to the castle gate, and they could already hear wailing and explosions coming from inside, and it seemed that they were in chaos.

"Another explosion? Why are there all explosions along the way?" The civilians were a little confused, but they rushed in immediately.

At this time, a large number of civilians have gathered here. Although they are all unarmed people, with only torches and shovels in their hands, in terms of numbers, they have a great advantage.

Most of the soldiers in the castle had been blown away or scared away by Zuma, leaving only a small number of soldiers still resisting tenaciously.

As one goes and the other goes, the gap between the two sides is almost erased.

At this time, the castle was in chaos. The general in charge fell and fainted, and the remaining soldiers all broke away from the command and fought on their own.

And the civilians don't have any decent weapons, so it will be difficult to break in for a while.

"Miss God Envoy! Miss God Envoy! There is a new revelation on the giant paper!"

As soon as Sharon stepped down from the chair, she heard someone shouting loudly behind her.

Sharon turned around and saw that the giant paper sign that had been transported along with them was indeed changing.

The original runes are disappearing, and new runes are appearing.

"Enter the castle and find the king." Sharon blinked and read out the new revelation.

"Master God must want to execute the king in public!" Some civilians immediately started to boo after hearing this.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Maybe the god wants to turn the king into a stone frog!" Another civilian made a wise statement.

"Shut up, everyone! Listen to Miss God Envoy!" Someone finally cursed.

At this time, many people looked at Sharon, waiting for the young girl to make a decision.

"I don't think the Lord God wants to execute the King. We should find His Majesty the King first."

Sharon didn't dare to guess what the Lord God was thinking, but since the instructions were written like this, it was definitely right to follow them.

So the civilians quickly divided into two groups.

A group of people entered the castle with Sharon, looking for His Majesty the King.

The other group delayed these soldiers outside the castle and attracted their attention.

It should be noted that the Kingdom of East Norse does not only have a capital city, but there are also several other towns and corresponding guard regiments surrounding it.

The conquest method of killing all the soldiers in the kingdom is not impossible, but it is definitely stupid.

Now that the War Sanctuary has been destroyed, as long as the king is controlled, the entire kingdom can be taken over without spending a single soldier, and there is no need to bleed a river of blood at all.

At this time, a group of civilians took Sharon deep into the castle and began to search.

There should have been soldiers guarding the castle, but because the situation outside was so urgent, they had actually been mobilized long ago.

Following Sharon's footsteps, the interior of the royal castle gradually opened before Zhou Xiao's eyes.

"We finally got here. It seems we are ready to let the little people enter the city." Zhou Xiao was very satisfied with the progress and was preparing to send a message to let Freya enter the city.

This round of civilians' counterattack on the castle went more smoothly than he imagined, taking only more than four hours.

He glanced at the system clock and saw that the time now happened to be 12:05 pm.

As Sharon went deeper, they soon found the royal family's dormitory.

I don’t know if it’s because there’s no one in the castle all year round, but there are almost no candles lit along the way.

Fortunately, it's dawn now, and the sun is gradually lighting up the place.

"This castle is really big, like a maze!"

The civilians cursed as they walked towards the largest room in the castle.

Zhou Xiao also immediately enlarged the angle of view, followed Sharon's gaze, and continued to approach the deepest secret of the kingdom.

"The civilians have already attacked the city gate, and you are still so stubborn!"

"The kingdom is facing a powerful enemy. This is a choice I made without any other choice. I am not wrong!"

"Father, all those civilians have entered the city!"

As they approached, they heard what sounded like a quarrel in the dormitory.

One of the tall civilians pushed open the door of the dormitory, and the morning light entered the dim room, opening a conspicuous corner.

Sharon cautiously walked in, followed closely by the others.

They all saw His Majesty the King in the room. He was standing beside the bed with red eyes and an excited expression. He seemed not to notice the intruders.

"These are your people, but you throw them to the priests. Is this what a king should do?" The queen stood up from the bed and looked at the king.

"Father, they started setting fire to the castle. What should I do? What should I do?" The beautiful daughter jumped down from the window sill, holding his clothes and screaming.

"I don't know, don't ask me! Don't ask me!" The king grabbed his hair uncontrollably and shouted hysterically.

In the dim room, Sharon and other civilians looked at each other with horrified expressions.

Outside the screen, Zhou Xiao also frowned, confirming again and again that his perspective was correct.

"...Your Majesty the King, who are you talking to?" Sharon hesitated and asked softly toward the room.

for there was no one in the room except the king.
