Chapter 911 The Next City
Lu Yu’s sincere invitation made Helen extremely excited. Her doll-like face gradually revealed a smile.
“Really? Can I go with you?”
“Of course, you are the owner of an SS-Level talent, a super strong elemental mage. You will definitely be a very strong helper to our cause.”
“Alright, then I’ll be your teammate from now on!”
Most importantly, Lu Yu was not looking for a fighter but someone who understood the Ember Empire. In this way, he would not have to spend any effort to get to know the empire well.
“Let’s go. We should leave this place. The people here seem sad.”
“Yeah, they all respected Claine, and this palace was precious to them. Therefore, the collapse of the palace and Claine’s death were a huge blow to them.”
“We should leave this place quickly. What if these people go crazy?”
Helen smiled helplessly. “Forget it. You’re so strong. No matter how angry they are, they won’t dare to attack you. They’re probably begging you internally not to attack them.”
“Let’s go as soon as possible. I want to destroy the core of this empire, the capital. If we encounter enemies on the way, I won’t let them go too.”
Helen followed closely behind Lu Yu, and the three of them walked out of the city together.
“By the way, aren’t you going to say goodbye to your family?”
The Empress looked at Helen curiously. She looked young, and since she was going to do such a grand thing with Lu Yu, she should at least mention it to her family.
Helen shook her head. “No, if I tell them, they will never let me leave.”
The Empress placed one hand on her shoulder and giggled. “You’re leaving with Lu Yu. Do you think they will dare stop you from leaving?”
Helen shrugged helplessly. “If that’s the case, isn’t it bad when I’m basically threatening them into doing what I want?”
“I think it’s fine. I’ll leave quietly and explain to them when the time comes.”
Lu Yu agreed with Helen’s idea. “It’s not wrong of you to do this. I support you.”
Helen smiled happily when she got Lu Yu’s approval.
“Alright, I’ll follow you from now on. If you need any help, just ask away.”
The three of them headed out of the city.
“By the way, how much do you know about the major cities in the Ember Empire?”
Helen tilted her head slightly and pondered.
“The Ember Empire is divided into a few regions and is managed by various commanders.”
“The first area is the territory of the Warriors of Destruction. Their commander is the Warrior of Destruction, someone extremely powerful in physical damage and defense.”
“His soldiers are all brave warriors. They’re regular fighting troops and the main force of the Ember Empire.”
“There’s another area, the Dark Ranger area. The commander is named the Dark Ranger, and the soldiers are all archers and mounted archers with some melee soldiers.”
“The third area belongs to a commander called the Death Mage; similar to the two mentioned above, mages are prevalent in the area where he’s in command.”
“The fourth commander is called the War Machine. His body is extremely massive, and the soldiers under him are also huge in size. Their role is to be tanks.”
“In short, each commander has their own strengths. When they gather, they are a terrifying combination of force that can flatten everything.”
“Only the Emperor of the Ember Empire can unite them.”
“Once they unite, I’m afraid that no army in this world will be their match.”
Helen kept talking and turned to look at Lu Yu. “Even you will die before their combined might.”
Alone, even if he had the support of a few dragons, he wouldn’t survive in the face of an army as majestic as the Red Sea.
“I understand. Which area is the next city in?”
Lu Yu opened the parchment scroll and showed it to Helen.
“The next city is called Mountain City. It’s built between the mountains and deep in the forest. It’s the territory of the Rangers. Archers, assassins, and bandits are littered around. The Lord of this city there shouldn’t be strong, so we can easily pass through that place.”
Lu Yu had his dragons, so technically, he could fly directly to the capital.
However, he knew he shouldn’t alert the enemy. If he swaggered over, he would definitely be spotted by the Ember Empire. Therefore, Lu Yu could only pass each city on foot and avoid flying his dragon across a city.
This way, their path would be much more concealed.
In this massive empire, their intelligence system shouldn’t cover everywhere.
“Then let’s go.”
The three of them arrived outside the city and found an empty space.
A giant dragon appeared, carrying the three of them soaring into the sky.
The Water Spirit Dragon’s body drew a beautiful arc in the air, bringing them out of Black Rock City quickly.
The next moment, the dragon rushed into the clouds and flew above the sea of clouds.
High in the sky, the strong wind blew, causing Helen’s hair to dance wildly.
The Empress walked to her side and helped her tie up her hair.
“You’re so beautiful. Your clothes are very unique.”
The Empress was wearing the clothes of her hometown—a dark, long dress with some fluorescent patterns.
These clothes were suitable for her in the Twilight Kingdom and were unique outside.
“I come from the abyss and rarely enter such a bright world.”
“Living there must be very uncomfortable.”
Helen couldn’t imagine living in complete darkness.
“It’s alright. It’s nothing much once you get used to it. Moreover, it’s not pitch-black there. There are many glowing plants.”
Helen was curious after hearing this.
“What are the glowing plants?”
“Fungi, mushrooms, as tall as the towering trees here. The mushrooms have fluorescent powder on them that can illuminate the surroundings, but they can’t compare to the street lamps in the outside world…”
“It sounds very interesting. I will come visit when we have time!”
She exclaimed expectantly.
The Empress smiled and said, “I’m the Empress of that place. You’re more than welcome to visit my place.”
“What? Am I sitting with a royal?”
Helen asked excitedly.
“What Empress? At most, she’s the mayor of a city. There are only a few hundred thousand citizens in her kingdom.”
Lu Yu interjected.
The Empress immediately slapped Lu Yu’s shoulder. “You’re looking down on my country! A few hundred thousand is very impressive, okay?”
Helen smiled and nodded. “Yes, yes. Anyway, I can’t imagine managing hundreds of thousands of people…”
The three of them sat on the dragon’s back and chatted while waiting to arrive at their destination.
