Pushing aside the rusty iron fence, Gu Xi climbed out of the Sewer drain.

Gu Xi didn't feel anything while he was in the Sewer, but after climbing Sewer, he felt like he was being pickled.

What he wants most right now is to change out of his clothes and wash them.

Even if I can only wear wet clothes afterward, it doesn't matter.

The soldiers who followed them out probably had the same thought. After they climbed out of the Sewer, the first thing they did was sniff themselves, their faces showing disgust.

There was even a man carrying several freshly caught rats, bleeding them to try and mask his own body odor with the smell of blood.

"Alright, that's enough. Is anyone going to help me find my way around and tell me where we are and how far we are from Victoria Tower?"

After suppressing his displeasure, Gu Xi then spoke to the soldiers.

Upon hearing Gu Xi's words, several soldiers stood up. They looked around at the deserted streets, and finally one of the soldiers pointed in a certain direction.

"The Victoria Tower is right there."

Gu Xi looked in the direction the soldier pointed and saw only dark clouds.

How do you know the Victoria Tower is there?

"There are only crows in Victoria Tower. Griffin will not be allowed in Victoria Tower. You can tell by looking at the flight paths of the Griffin in the sky."

Following the soldier's line of thought, Gu Xi discovered that it was indeed true.

Because Victoria City was on fire, the troops inside the city were constantly being deployed or suppressing something.

As part of the Britain Flying Troops, the Griffin were naturally quite busy, but no matter how busy they Griffin, they didn't fly to any particular location, or even pass by it.

If no one points it out, you might not notice anything.

But after someone pointed it out, Gu Xi naturally realized there was a problem.

He wasn't foolish enough to ask the crows in Victoria City if there was something wrong with them.

Instead, he pointed in that direction.

"Let's go over there first."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers who were still resting on the ground stood up one after another. They straightened their armor and tidied their weapons.

Afterwards, the strongest paladins did not walk at the front as before, but instead removed Door Plank from nearby and placed Grand Princess Anna's body on it.

Six paladins carried the body forward with solemn expressions.

The remaining soldiers, armed with weapons, surrounded Grand Princess Anna, protecting her.

Seeing their state, Gu Xi did not force the soldiers to charge. He stretched out his hand, and a City Gate appeared behind him. The undead soldiers under Gu Xi's command quickly walked out.

This time, it was the troops led by the two Hero who came out; as for Gu Xi's main force, they were not released directly.

It's not that Gu Xi doesn't want to, but the current situation in Victoria City is not suitable.

"Arroyo, you lead the troops and clear the way. Robbie, you lead the troops and stay close to the convoy, preventing anyone from getting close."

After the two Hero emerged, Gu Xi assigned them appropriate positions.

Then Gu Xi flipped over and jumped onto the Evil Coffin. After walking for so long, Gu Xi was also a little tired. At this time, it would be foolish for Gu Xi to walk instead of riding a mount.

On the contrary, Gu Xi's two subordinate Hero were of low level and had no mounts to ride.

As the troops advanced, they marched alongside them.

After releasing his troops, Gu Xi no longer cared about anything and led his men into a rampage.

Anyway, Victoria City is almost empty now, so Gu Xi doesn't need to worry about anything.

As Gu Xi's troops accelerated, the soldiers who followed also increased their speed.

Their actions quickly attracted the attention of some people in the vicinity.

Several Griffin appeared in the sky. These Griffin had yellow feathers and flew up like knives slicing through the wind.

When they flew in front of Gu Xi's group, there were still some who intended to charge at Gu Xi's group, but when they saw the body of Grand Princess Anna being protected in Gu Xi's group, all the Griffin fell to the ground.

Their landing immediately attracted the attention of the other Griffin.

These Griffin became an important part of Britain's air power not only because of their formidable fighting capabilities, but also because of their intelligence.

Adult Griffin have the intelligence of normal humans, and they can assess the battlefield situation on their own.

If you encounter one or two talented Hero, you might even be able to have a simple conversation with the Griffin.

Seeing their companion fall to the ground, the other Griffin were naturally curious about what had happened.

It's important to know that even when Griffin land, they don't usually land on flat ground.

Because that would prevent them from taking off in time.

As a result, a large number of Griffin flew towards this direction.

Then they saw Grand Princess Anna being carried away.

The Griffin that flew over also landed quickly, and only took flight after Grand Princess Anna's body was carried past them, following far behind.

It was only at this moment that Gu Xi realized just how high the prestige of Grand Princess Anna, or rather the Britain royal family, was among the people and soldiers.

At this moment, Gu Xi felt that his trip had not been in vain, and that he had done the right thing by bringing back Grand Princess Anna's body.

The large number of Griffin gathering naturally attracted the attention of others.

In an apartment building not far away, a man whose skin had turned Coal Ash and whose face had several Blazing Red cracks was watching a group of Griffin gathered together.

"With so many Griffin gathered together, they must be escorting the demon leaders to Victoria Tower. They're all brainless; this has happened several times already, and they're still like this."

But that's fine too. As long as I kill one more member of the royal family, I'll have enough blood and lives from six members of the royal family.

Although it's not the identity required for the Mirror Dungeon, it's enough.

Then I can enter the Mirror Dungeon and the mirrored city.

That city will be mine.

The man burst into laughter.

After laughing, he took out a tin whistle that looked like it had just been taken out of the furnace, put it to his lips, and blew it hard.

These tin whistles were used in Scotland Yard to chase people away in the streets.

But when the man blew it, it became an attractive method.

A large amount of black ash gathered together amidst the whistling, eventually transforming into a human-shaped figure composed of black ash.

These figures walked unsteadily, as if they would be blown away by the wind if they walked too fast.

But they themselves didn't care about any of that. Under the command of the whistles, more and more of these figures were slowly but steadily heading towards the location where the Griffin were gathering.
