My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 594 - 523: Heart Demon Clan (Major - )

Tang Yu received the message, already over a dozen minutes later.

General Dulu was long devoid of any breath, his death thorough.

From the wounds, it could be inferred that he had been hurt by a special kind of flame, fiercely burning, yet General Dulu had no capability to expel the special flame that had penetrated his body.

Until the moment he perished, the flame had also vanished, leaving behind a head with a blurred face, a neck, and a small part of the chest.

A dozen minutes earlier, when General Dulu still had a faint sign of life, even being corroded by the special flame, he could have been saved.

Now?

Chilled, beyond saving, bury him.

"The person who made the move must have strength far surpassing General Dulu’s."

Eileen, who had specially rushed over from Green Shadow, analyzed, "The other party must have thought that General Dulu was undoubtedly doomed, hence they did not continue to pursue. Or perhaps General Dulu was merely bait."

The latter possibility clearly seemed higher.

Intentionally letting General Dulu escape, to test for possible accomplices.

The relationship between the Wing Corps and Town West City had unquestionably been exposed, thankfully, what was exposed was not a secret base; the problem was not significant, so there was no panic.

Tang Yu still wanted to rant about Town West City Lord Mansion.

What did they say before coming?

Swore earnestly, to be careful and cautious, to only look into the reasons for the loss of contact with the previous batches of Transcendents who had sought help, not to delve deep, even if encountering danger, they would not involve the people of Green Shadow.

Now, what’s with this stupidity, flying towards the Wing Corps’ garrison?

No pursuers in sight, but it had attracted the attention of the outer city’s Patrol Army, and it took Zabol a great deal of effort to bluff his way through the incident.

All just to inform that there’s a problem with the Royal Family?

Tang Yu stroked his chin, falling deep into thought.

Before coming, the Town West City Lord Mansion had suspicions that the previously missing Transcendents might be linked to the Royal Family or certain upper-class nobles.

Whether it be nobles that bore grudges against Town West City in the past or those unwilling to allow the Iron Blood Duke into the Royal Capital at the cost of their interests, these conflicts of interest were enough to prompt the upper-class nobles to act.

The Royal Family with certain objectives was no different.

Why then bother to add that there was a problem with the Royal Family?

"Unless, it’s not due to noble infighting."

The scene of the Black Tide’s outbreak, the changes in the Royal Capital over the past several decades, the world filled with deathly silence, the King who almost never left the court, the sacrifice that was to take place in a dozen days, the Eternal Wall that never had issues for thirty years, and that slightly discordant sensation within the Royal Capital...

His brain operated at high speed as if it were a computer.

Various clues flashed through his mind, converging one by one.

By stripping away all impossibilities, what remained...

Was the sole truth!

Boom!

As if a bolt of thunder had streaked across.

Tang Yu’s eyes lit up, thinking of Earth, the basic operations of the Devil Race, the Alien Race, a bold conjecture suddenly surfaced.

— The Royal Capital had long been controlled by an Alien Race!

If the Alien Race were orchestrating the Black Tide, they wouldn’t possibly leave the Royal Capital, this most powerful bastion of resistance, uncontrolled.

...

"Lord’s guess is very likely."

For safety, the group didn’t stay long in the Wing Corps’ garrison but returned to Green Shadow to convene a high-level meeting for analysis.

"The ’Eternal Wall’ is indeed extraordinary in terms of defense, but every defense has its flaws, there’s no such thing as absolute protection."

Luo Zhe, the Armed Department Director mainly responsible for Green Shadow’s defense matters, said, "If the Black Tide were all unintelligent monsters, relying on the ’Eternal Wall,’ it might indeed hold steady, but Transcendent-Tier Dark Creatures undoubtedly possess intelligence, and not low at that. With such a large stretch of wall, with few Transcendents stationed, there must be weak points."

"Moreover, the Black Tide might very likely be backed by an Alien Race who are more cunning. Inside the territory of Daxia Country, there have been many Sanctuaries infiltrated by the Alien Race, not to mention the evident target of the Royal Capital... Whether it’s the Wing Corps returning from scouting or the Eternal Army entering and leaving the city to collect spoils of war, both are opportune moments for Alien Race infiltration.

An Awakening Tier facing a Transcendent would not have any capability to resist."

Some pointed out that the ’Eternal Wall’ might have detection Arrays that could prevent Alien Race infiltration.

However, originally when Lorraine and several other Transcendents completely blocked their own aura with artifacts, following the Wing Corps’ team into the Royal Capital, the entry was very smooth.

Detection Arrays should indeed exist, yet they couldn’t really guard against Alien Race infiltration.

Pausing for a moment, Luo Zhe continued, "Moreover, the ’Eternal Wall’ crafted by Lord, after our testing, Transcendents at First Tier had no possibility of breaking through, but Second Tier, it’s hard to say now, its anti-flight Array also cannot completely suppress Second Tier Experts."

"Therefore, the ’Eternal Wall’ plan is very likely a result of the Alien Race’s own scheming... The Royal Family, is likely controlled by the Alien Race, or rather, they simply masquerade as the Royal Family!"

Luo Zhe further speculated, and Tang Yu secretly agreed.

But there were some things that were unclear.

The current King, and the prior generations of the Royal Family’s Guardians—these masters of real power—were undoubtedly the most Peak experts, control? Nearly impossible!

Masquerade? Also difficult to maintain for decades without any slip-ups, even though the King lived reclusively, he still needed to interact with others... and Transcendents were exceedingly sensitive, any slight irregularity might allow them to sense the Alien Race’s disguise.

And another thing,

The Royal Family... the Alien Race, controlling a population of hundreds of millions in the Royal Capital, for what purpose?

Most of the Aino continent lay in eerie silence, indicating that the world’s barriers were also riddled with holes... The Devil Race invaded various worlds to Devour the planets’ Origin... The Origin of the planet on which the Aino continent was located, must have been mostly Devoured already, only the surviving cities still had vitality.
