Chapter 871 The Royal Family, Endangered

In Lionheart City, a group of crazy people suddenly appeared. They bit anyone they saw, and their bodies burned with strange flames.

These people looked like monsters that had completely lost any trace of humanity.

These people rushed into the streets, scaring everyone into hiding in their homes.

Some beggars on the streets who were too slow were caught and torn apart by these people.

In the residential building, the citizens looked at the terrifying scene on the street and were so frightened that they put their hands together and prayed.

“What’s wrong with these people? Why are they attacking everyone?”

“Look carefully; these people are no longer living people. They have become monsters that can’t even speak a complete sentence!”

“These people look familiar. Aren’t they all royalty?”

“Yeah, you’re right! You can tell that they are all n.o.bles from the clothes!”

“Whoa, there’s also Isabel and Norton. What happened?”

“This is really scary. The Eldest Princess and the Eldest Prince have turned into monsters. What happened to the royal family of the Lionheart Empire?”

“This is terrible, especially when tomorrow is the Emperor’s coronation ceremony. Now that Norton is gone, what should we do?”

“The problem now is not that Norton is gone, but that everyone in the royal family might be dead!”

The citizens looked at the horrifying scene on the street and were at a loss. They were worried about the Empire’s future.

Seeing these n.o.bles wreaking havoc on the streets, tearing up beggars by the roadside, and killing almost everyone they saw, everyone was shaking in their boots.

All the royal family members were turned into monsters and attacked indiscriminately in the city. It was as if the end of the world was coming, and the future of the Lionheart Empire looked dark.

People were hiding in their homes, not daring to open their doors. They stayed in their rooms and trembled whenever they heard screams coming from outside.

However, soon after, someone appeared on the street and swiftly and decisively killed these royal family members!

When they looked again, they were surprised to see that General Sean was their savior. He was chopping these royal members to death, like cutting melons and vegetables.

Seeing this, many people were relieved. At least General Sean was fine, which meant the Lionheart Empire would not collapse.

At the very least, they would not be invaded by outsiders. It was enough that General Sean was alive.

Sean stood on the street and shouted to the closed doors around him, “Everyone, you can come out now. These monsters are now dead and won’t pose a threat to you.”

Soon, doors opened one after another. The empire’s citizens came out one after another and surrounded Sean.

“General, what exactly happened? How did this happen?”

“These are all members of the royal family. How could they all become monsters?”

“Did something happen in the royal family?”

“What’s going on?”

Sean looked at everyone and explained, “Don’t worry. The royal family has recently eaten some infected elixirs, and I also don’t know much as I just returned. Although it’s a pity, it’s already set in stone.”

“Then, what should we do next?”

“Will the coronation ceremony tomorrow still be on?”

“What should we do? With so many royals dead, will outsiders invade us?”

“These royal family members sure are crazy. What did they eat to turn themselves like this? Terrifying!”

Sean explained helplessly, “Everyone, just continue with your day. The coronation ceremony will continue tomorrow, and we will have an Emperor ascend the throne as soon as possible and take control of the overall situation.”

At that moment, someone could not help but suggest, “General Sean, why don’t you just be the Emperor? Most of the people in the royal family are dead anyway.”

Sean quickly waved his hand. “That won’t do. I’m not a member of the royal family. Besides, I have to go out to defend our country, so I don’t have the time to be an Emperor.”

With that, he turned around and walked toward the palace.

“General Sean, is there anyone else to ascend the throne?”

“Of course,” Sean replied lightly, “Elizabeth is still alive.”

After saying this, he walked out of the crowd and left.

Everyone was excited when they heard that Elizabeth was alive.

They did not care if Elizabeth could govern the country or not. At least the princess was considerate of the people’s sufferings, which was enough, as their lives would be bettered.

At that moment, Lu Yu was standing in the courtyard of the royal family; Han Xuefei and the others had also rushed over.

Han Xuefei walked over with Elizabeth. Seeing the mess around them, the two knew that a huge battle had transpired.

Han Xuefei walked toward Lu Yu and looked at the three giant dragons beside him. She asked, “It looks like you’ve fought a powerful enemy, releasing all three dragons. Did you encounter the other general?”

Lu Yu nodded slightly. “That’s right, but he’s already dead. He won’t be a threat any longer.”

Elizabeth looked around and asked curiously, “Where are the other royal family members’ corpses?”

“I let them out to put on a show with Sean to make the deaths of the royal family more convincing.”

“I didn’t want to cause you trouble when ascending the throne. Otherwise, you would have to find a reasonable excuse for their deaths.”

Elizabeth bowed and thanked Lu Yu. “Thank you for your help.”

“By the way, where’s the commander, Lynn, and your second sister, Annabelle?”

Only then did Lu Yu remember that he had never seen these two people.

He wanted to know what their stance on the situation was.

“My second sister, Annabel, is an archaeologist. She mainly studies the history of ancient eras. She spends most of her time in her study, sometimes for months.”

“She doesn’t like the power struggles in the royal family. She probably doesn’t care who’s in power unless it affects her research progress.”

Elizabeth pursed her lips and looked to the side. After thinking for a moment, she added, “As for Lynn, she’s a wind elemental mage and the Empire’s commander. Her responsibility is to develop the Empire’s war strategy; more importantly, she’s in the military.”

“In short, both of them are geniuses and knowledgeable.”

Lu Yu nodded. “It seems that it’s better to keep these two alive.”

“Bring me to the Grand Commander.”

Elizabeth nodded and said, “Please follow me.”

She took the lead and walked forward, and Lu Yu kept all three dragons before following closely behind.
