Carrying Grand Princess Anna's body, Gu Xi led Luna back to the Main District.

Meanwhile, the soldiers near the Main District City Gate were still thinking about how to get back to Victoria City and what to say about the incident at Westminster Abbey.

This is a very important event, as Westminster Abbey is normally used as the main chapel for the coronation of the Britain Royal Family.

Losing Westminster Abbey is like losing the Temple of Heaven for the Chinese emperor; even if you were to ascend the throne, no one would recognize your legitimacy.

Unless you build another one.

A church like Westminster Abbey cannot be built in a short period of time.

For the bigwigs behind these soldiers, some of these situations present both opportunities and challenges.

If they weren't still in Aryadovi City, they would have already spread the news.

But when they saw Gu Xi carrying Grand Princess Anna's body back, they were all stunned.

All the soldiers, eager to relay the message back, knelt on one knee by the roadside to receive Grand Princess Anna's remains.

"Come with me, we're heading to Victoria City, but there's something we might need your help with."

"Please speak, sir."

"Something has happened in Victoria City, and as you have seen, I have been entrusted to return Grand Princess Anna's remains to the royal family. I don't know the way, so I need you to clear the way for me and protect Grand Princess Anna way back."

Gu Xi looked at the soldiers and said.

"Please rest assured, my lord. Protecting the Grand Princess is the wish of all of us. Even if you didn't say it, we would still follow along."

"Alright, come with me."

Gu Xi waved to them and led them toward the small house that connected to Victoria City.

Because Gu Xi has not yet exited the Westminster Abbey Incident copy, even though the copy has been destroyed, he has not yet severed his connection with Westminster Abbey.

Based on cause and effect, he is now at the closest point to Victoria City.

He can go to Victoria City as long as he exits the instance.

Then his Hearthstone wouldn't be prevented from being accessed by people because of the changes in Victoria City.

"This is the place. Once the fire is lit, send someone over first. I have a small building in Victoria."

After you leave, please help clear out the surrounding enemies and protect the road.

Some of these soldiers were quite knowledgeable about Hearthstone.

One of them asked, "Where is your little house located?"

"Camden District, at the intersection of Northumberland Avenue."

Upon Gu Xi's words, the soldiers immediately understood the location.

"That's quite far from Windsor Griffon Fortress. If we go out from there, we'll have to cross the river, leave the city, and travel a distance in the wilderness. I'm afraid that will be difficult."

"No matter how difficult it is, we must send the Grand Princess back. Also, we will definitely encounter obstacles on our way back to Grand Princess Anna, so please lend a hand."

Gu Xi glanced at them again; he was now unsure of the situation in Victoria City.

But one thing is certain: Victoria City is still under siege by Zombie Siege.

If it's really as those people say, traveling that far would probably be quite difficult.

These soldiers, who were finally rescued, may or may not die in the Victoria City.

While Gu Xi was still reflecting on this, the soldiers had already become anxious.

"Don't worry, isn't this what we should do?"

"That's right, whoever tries to block our way, they should die."

"If my father knew that I was able to escort the Grand Princess all the way to Windsor Griffon Fortress, he would be happy even if I died in battle."

"..."

Amidst the soldiers' scattered discussions, Gu Xi issued the order.

"Alright, who wants to go first?"

"I'll do it. I've used this kind of Hearthstone before, and I know how to handle it."

One of the soldiers jumped out as soon as he heard that.

"Then I'll be second..."

"I'm third..."

The soldiers didn't need Gu Xi; they lined up in formation on their own.

Gu Xi and Grand Princess Anna's bodies will be visited last.

As for Gu Xi's soldiers, there's no need to bring them. Once they arrive in Victoria City, Gu Xi can deploy the soldiers at any time through the City Gate.

After all the soldiers had passed by the Hearthstone, Gu Xi turned to Luna and spoke.

"After I get there, you take Grand Princess Anna's body there, then prepare the troops and wait at the City Gate. I'm afraid there will be a big battle coming."

"Good."

Luna didn't say much and readily agreed to Gu Xi's request.

To prevent Grand Princess Anna's remains from being lost in the void, Gu Xi took Grand Princess Anna 'Grand Princess Anna hand and led her into the Hearthstone.

As Gu Xi stepped into the area affected by the Hearthstone, he felt a sudden darkness envelop him, as if he had entered a dark passage with only a sliver of light shining in front of him.

Gu Xi wanted to move forward, but found that he couldn't even budge.

This situation made Gu Xi quite uncomfortable. Just as he was about to struggle again, he felt a powerful force pushing him out of the dark space.

When Gu Xi's vision was filled with light, Gu Xi smelled a strong odor of unburnt sulfur.

He looked up and realized that he had entered Victoria City from Aryadovi.

In the past, the sky over Victoria City was mostly covered by thick, dark clouds.

Victoria City is different now; the clouds in the sky have been dyed blood red.

Black powder fell from the sky like snowflakes, and Gu Xi's hand was already covered with black powder as soon as he stretched it out.

Upon closer inspection, a thin layer of this powder had already been spread on the ground.

However, Gu Xi was somewhat puzzled as to where he was.

He remembered that he had placed the Hearthstone fireplace on the first floor of the small building, so if it were to appear, it should appear inside the small building.

What's going on here? It looks like we're in a wilderness. Where are the buildings around us?

Could something strange have happened, and he ended up teleporting in the wrong direction? Surely he can't be that unlucky.

Just as Gu Xi was about to complain, he heard Shaya's voice from not far ahead.

"Sir, over here, we're over here."

Gu Xi saw Dong Haiya waving at him from the Sewer entrance, and behind Shaya were several soldiers who had just left the Aryadovi City.

When the soldiers saw the body of Grand Princess Anna that Gu Xi had brought, they all climbed out of the Sewer, carried the body, and headed towards the Sewer.
