Chapter 329: Chapter 328: the situation in the imperial capital (I) !
Translator: 549690339
Two days ago...
After being enveloped by the map of the Black Goat, the imperial capital, like other cities, underwent a terrifying transformation. The surrounding flowers, trees, and animals, especially the giant griffins that were domesticated in the imperial capital.., all underwent an extremely terrifying transformation.
As the city with the highest population density, there was no need to be afraid of the chaos. In just a few hours, the number of casualties in the entire imperial capital could reach up to a million.
However, as the imperial capital city, with many imperial generals and high-level mages stationed in the capital city, its resistance was naturally not something that cities like the southern Rustard could compare to.
Almost in the fifth hour after the chaos started, the imperial city, under the coordination of many generals and elite soldiers, suppressed the mutated creatures.
However, what happened next was the beginning of the great panic in the Imperial City!

At the same time that their veins bulged, some of their muscles also underwent terrifying changes.
For example, their bodies grew larger out of thin air, and their muscles and bones became stronger. Some of the shorter ones grew up to four to five centimeters in a day, and some of their genes even became chaotic in the early stages, showing signs of animals.
For example, their skin had become phosphorescent, and they had grown sharp teeth and claws. The color of their eyes had changed, and their energy had become too violent. Their muscles were clapping, and their veins were bulging. They were as terrifying as devil-like muscle people.
These people did not lose their reason like ordinary creatures after their mutation. The relatively stable energy intake had allowed them to evolve in a relatively balanced manner.
However, outsiders did not see it that way. After experiencing a terrorist attack of an animal mutation, they became extremely sensitive to the mutations of their surrounding companions.
In an instant, those mutated humans were targeted and ostracized. At this moment, the Gus family, which was in the lead, spread panic-stricken words, causing conflict between the two sides. The situation was extremely precarious... ...
Because at that time, the ones who organized the soldiers to resist were the empire’s generals and high-ranking military officers, so the ones who were infected were the empire’s intermediate forces.
And because those mages were themselves weak, they were protected at the first moment, so they did not attack and kill those monsters.
The ones who proposed to control the mutated humans were mainly the mage family. This made the conflict between the empire’s generals and mages even more serious, as if the balance was about to be broken...
..
At night, a group of infected generals wearing cloaks rushed to Rox’s mansion. After being welcomed into the hall by the butler, they finally saw Marshal Rox who refused to show himself!
The few of them walked over excitedly and performed a knight’s etiquette. Then, they said, “Marshal Rox, you can’t hide from the current situation anymore...”
The general in the lead was called Enzo. He was a capable candidate to inherit the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies after Rox was demoted. He was also an extremely outstanding general in Rox’s camp. Currently, he was leading one-third of the troops in the northern front, this time, he was only temporarily returning to the imperial capital to take over. He did not expect to encounter such a thing.
Rox looked at the anxious generals and sighed in his heart. He turned his head to look at rainy, who was quietly drinking tea on the left. He could not help but think to himself, ‘it’s really like what that woman said... !’! This time, the first batch of people who were infected were all officers who were more inclined to their own camp!
Two days ago, after he was controlled to attack rainy, he could not move, but he knew that rainy was definitely not a simple viscountess.
His subordinates were unbelievably skilled. In the past two days, he had tried to resist a few times, but in the end, he was instantly subdued by a few people.
He had calculated in his heart that if it was a one-on-one, he might not be a match for any one of them... ...
And this woman actually had four or five of such people under her command. She definitely had an extraordinary and powerful organization behind her.
He looked at his old comrades on the battlefield and calculated in his heart the possibility of subduing rainy without melon if they attacked now...
However, looking at rainy without melon who drank tea quietly and did not seem to prevent him from seeing his old comrades, Rox finally suppressed that thought. He looked at his comrades and asked, “How bad are you guys now?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe generals looked at each other and then took off their cloaks. At this moment, it could be seen that most of the people’s bodies had changed more or less, but compared to the low-level soldiers, the changes were much smaller, some of them only had some scales on their arms, some of them had some feathers on their bodies, and some of them even had their hair become more exuberant.
The officers who were lower than the generals were more serious. The most serious one had bulging muscles all over his body, a ferocious face, and a pair of horns on his head. His skin was as red as if it had been scalded, he looked like a devil that had crawled out of hell, looking especially ferocious and terrifying.
Rox’s eyelids twitched when he saw this. To be honest, if it wasn’t for the letters from his old comrades saying that these people were still rational, he would have thought that these people had become monsters just like those mutated animals.
“Commander Luo!”The leader of the generals said, “We have already been treated as monsters. The soldiers below are also becoming more and more irritable under the circumstances of being targeted. I’m afraid that in another two days, they might not be able to hold back and explode!”
Rox paused for a moment and looked up at the high ranking officers behind the generals. Although most of them did not say anything, it could be seen that their eyes were filled with hatred.
Indeed, back then, they were the ones who had stepped out to protect the citizens and the safety of the imperial city. They were the ones who had fought against the mutated monsters. However, after defending the imperial city, they were treated as monsters by the people who were protected. No one could withstand the blow of such a deficit...
To be able to suppress it until now, it was probably because of the high military literacy of the elites of the empire...
“What Did His Majesty Say?”
“His Majesty?”The leading generals said with a cold face, “His Majesty wants us to surrender for the safety of the Imperial City and be isolated first, waiting for the arcane wizards to develop a method to treat us...”
Rox was silent. To be honest, under normal circumstances, this was the right thing to do. It was indeed the right thing to control these seemingly mutated officers, but the imperial generals and the Wizard family had always had a big conflict, now that they were asked to give their names to these wizards to make a decision, who would be willing?
Who knew if these wizards would think of a way to make an antidote or burn them all to death after isolating them?
To hand over the power of life and death to someone else, even a powerhouse would not be willing to do so...
After sighing, Rox turned to look at the mysterious woman and asked, “Sir, let’s Call You Lady ICASIO for now. I would like to ask... do you have any way to treat the infection of my subordinates?”
