Inside the Sewer, Gu Xi endured the sweltering heat and asked, "What's going on?"

Shaya said helplessly, "Who knows what those people were thinking? They actually chose to set Victoria City on fire, intending to burn all the coal ash to death."

They didn't even consider that coal slag might be afraid of this.

When I returned with my men, Victoria City was already on fire. The only place to hide was under the Sewer.

"My lord, I failed to protect the small building."

"Fine."

After learning about the situation, Gu Xi said calmly.

"We didn't come here alone; we have comrades behind us."

Gu Xi looked up at the soldiers who were also hiding in the Sewer, and had to admit that these guys were really uninhibited.

After discovering the anomaly in Victoria City, they immediately chose to crawl into the Sewer.

I didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Even when they saw Gu Xi bring in Grand Princess Anna's body, they were excitedly talking about their experience entering the Sewer.

"Let's not talk about this now. We need to get to Windsor Griffin Castle as soon as possible. What happened in Victoria City has nothing to do with us, understand?"

"Okay, we all know that with us here, the journey will be absolutely safe. But are we really going to Windsor Griffin Castle?"

With such a major incident in Victoria City, shouldn't members of the royal family all be at Victoria Tower, the armed core of the entire Victoria City?

Only once they enter that place will they feel safe.

Windsor Griffon Fortress is just a place for them to relax on weekends; its defenses are weak, so we should head towards Victoria Tower.

Upon hearing the Victoria Tower, Gu Xi immediately thought of the Alydove Aryadovi Tower, which is not far from the Aryadovi City.

That was the castle that Gu Xi had always wanted to conquer.

He entered the Aryadovi City from this very spot when he first entered through the Mirror Dungeon.

Gu Xi had seen the defense system of Aryadovi Tower before, and he knew that what the soldiers said was true.

"Okay, let's go there now."

"Okay, we'll lead the way. If we can go through the Sewer, we'll go through Sewer."

Come out after you're almost there.

"Why?"

Gu Xi asked curiously.

"All supplies for Victoria Tower are from an independent system, including the Sewer. No matter who you are, you can only enter and exit through the main gate of the castle to ensure its security."

Hearing this explanation, Gu Xi was also a little worried. He was considering whether rushing towards the Victoria Tower at this time would be seen as an attack by the Britain Royal Family.

"Don't worry, we are all Regular Army, and we are delivering Grand Princess Anna's body. Who dares to stop us?"

"Alright, let's go."

Gu Xi was not the kind of person who hesitated or wavered. After understanding the situation, he made a decisive decision.

They moved quickly through the Sewer.

Throughout the journey, Shaya led the way, while Gu Xi and the other Britain soldiers took turns carrying Grand Princess Anna's body behind them.

The rest of the men quickly followed, with a few stronger soldiers bringing up the rear to prevent anyone from getting lost in the Labyrinth -like Sewer.

After all, the conditions in the Sewer are not good to begin with. If you accidentally get separated from your loved ones, you will soon disappear into the Sewer and never be able to leave alive.

Shaya, who was leading the way, always chose the easiest path to take.

But Victoria City has become a giant furnace. The Sewer, which are close to the ground, have also been affected to some extent. In some places, the Sewer have been burned open or even collapsed.

Even Shaya had to constantly search for a way forward.

The soldiers following behind also felt the temperature rising higher and higher.

But none of them seemed inclined to urge Shaya.

They all knew very well that they were familiar with Victoria City, but no one actually claimed to know anything about the Sewer defenses.

Without Shaya, they would have no chance of getting out of the Sewer unless they climbed up through the flames on the ground.

Therefore, they cannot lose Shaya as their guide.

Even though Shaya kept retreating back to the place she had initially walked, they didn't complain at all.

I walked through the Sewer for about an hour and a half.

The temperature in the Sewer gradually decreased.

Shaya, who was leading the way, touched the wall of the Sewer and said, "We're almost out. If we walk for another half an hour or so, we'll reach a safe place. We can walk on the surface then, which will be faster."

Gu Xi also felt that the temperature above the Sewer was not as high as the place he had just passed, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Would you like to take a break?"

To everyone's surprise, the soldiers all shook their heads.

"No need to rest, this distance is nothing to us."

"That's right, we are paladins, what's there to be afraid of?"

"That's right. If it weren't for the fact that the Sewer are so difficult to navigate, I could have easily run through them for you."

"..."

Seeing the soldiers' excited expressions, Gu Xi naturally wouldn't make things difficult for them.

"Alright, let's go for another half hour and rest when we get to the ground."

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers cheered excitedly.

Gu Xi could even sense that a golden eagle with outstretched wings had appeared above their heads.

This is a sign of improved morale.

However, this was the first time Gu Xi, a player, had encountered such a situation while leading a team.

This made him take a few more glances.

The soldiers had no objections, and Shaya, who was in charge of leading the team, certainly had no objections either.

As a spirit of the dead, Shaya had no need to rest. Under Gu Xi's command, she led the way again.

However, the road ahead was not so easy.

The Sewer had been heated by fire before, and the temperature was too high. All the eerie creatures, water ghosts, rats, and the like that that used to live in the Sewer have all run away.

But this section of the Sewer was different; Gu Xi and his group encountered several waves of rats.

There were even water ghosts and some strange, Strange Creature trying to Gu Xi and his companions into the Sewer.

The red-hatted creature that Gu Xi just killed was a bizarre existence. If Gu Xi hadn't reacted quickly, this guy would have jumped out of the sewage, grabbed Gu Xi's leg, and dragged him into the sewage.

Even though he knew he wouldn't drown in the sewage, Gu Xi's scalp tingled at the sight of the filth floating on top.

If he were dragged into the water and forced to swallow two mouthfuls of water, Gu Xi really wouldn't want to live anymore.

So, in a fit of anger, Gu Xi unleashed a barrage of attacks on the sewage, and the White Bone Storm pushed two of them away.

If it weren't for the ordinary Britain soldiers following behind, they might have even used Wave of Death.

Thankfully, this journey eventually came to an end. Shaya pushed open a rusty iron fence ahead and happily exclaimed, "We've arrived!"
