The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

The atmosphere in Booker City has become increasingly solemn.

Residents were ordered to stay at home and wait for the Duke to eliminate the enemy, but the daily supply of food and daily necessities became less and less.

However, when some careful residents discovered that there seemed to be only a few guards left patrolling the streets, the originally fragile order quickly collapsed.

First, some people violently robbed their neighbors of their supplies, then others attacked the guards guarding the supply points... In the end, everyone realized that nothing could restrain them.

Then, unstoppable chaos broke out.

"Kill them! They have weapons and food!"

"These people are all crazy... Is there something wrong with our plan?"

What was a little unexpected was that when the panicked and crazy people began to kill and loot each other in the city, a group of mysterious people who had never been noticed by anyone before were forced to reveal their identities.

These people were not like the mercenaries who had come to the Dukedom to hunt monsters before, but more like well-trained soldiers - but in such a chaotic situation, no one cared who they were.

Anyone with weapons and supplies will become a target. Even if they want to escape the city, ordinary people without adequate defense will quickly be shot down by cold guns and arrows from nowhere.

On the tenth day after the psychic pollution began to spread, Duke Booker's residence finally became a stage for violence and chaos.

……

"Your Highness, you don't have to come with us."

"No, I have to go there in person to know what to do next."

Although Klia is unable to use any power now, in this environment, other people are actually as vulnerable as she is.

So Xia Ye did not refuse Keliya's request to go with her in the end - but she still tried her best to shorten the distance between herself and the other party.

"Your temper is really similar to that of the young master..."

Karin, who was walking at the front of the team, sighed slightly.

After all, Aarons was standing next to everyone at the time. Although he did not have the strength to fight, he inspired others to fight until the last moment.

And now, Claire, who was determined to become Aarons' wife, did something similar.

"My husband has been fighting all the time...in order not to become a burden to us."

Karin and Xia Ye certainly knew this. Although they also wanted Aarons to let go of those psychological burdens, they had no particularly good way until now.

Perhaps only Klia, who is very similar to him in nature, can help him understand his own value.

"So, I can't escape either."

However, the closer they got to Booker City, the stronger the atmosphere of chaos became.

Zhu Ying, who had been conducting reconnaissance in the air, reported a disturbing situation when she was descending just now - the city of Booker had fallen into serious riots, and the whereabouts of Duke Booker himself was completely unknown.

Why did Duke Booker allow his city to become like this? Is there any connection between this situation and the enemy operating in secret?

"I have to go faster... Damn it, I still don't exercise enough!"

"Don't try to be brave like the young master at this time. We will help you."

Because her physical fitness was not as good as others, Klia's walking speed was obviously much slower.

After discovering this problem, Xia Ye decisively carried the princess on his back - in the eyes of those who knew her true identity, the hardworking Aries was nothing like the legendary ancient devil, but instead looked more and more like an almighty butler.

However, Karin, who had been with her the longest, did not intend to point this out.

"Boss, if we're going to fight someone soon, you should find a shelter first. If you stay among us and an explosive is thrown at you, you're doomed."

"Mr. Kulan, I will be responsible for protecting His Highness's safety, so everyone in the mercenary group does not have to worry about the problems at the rear."

The old-fashioned muskets that Duke Booker distributed to his subordinates had limited lethality, and the alien mercenaries, who were already equipped with full body armor, were not too worried about being sniped from a distance.

And because the carbon-uranium rifles manufactured by Jiangyue have a range and accuracy far beyond their opponents, the mercenaries who have become proficient in using these weapons can now deal with more than twice their number of enemies.

"I didn't expect that after losing their fighting spirit and magic, humans would still come up with so many ways to kill..."

——Kulan’s unintentional sigh made Keliya feel a little depressed again.

Although the empire does have many accumulated problems, the lives of ordinary people have always been relatively stable.

However, this turmoil, caused by unknown reasons, turned the people of the empire, who had always lived and worked in peace and contentment, into innocent victims.

"Your Highness, the wall of Booker City is ahead. Please give the order."

"…Sister Karin will lead the charge, and the mercenaries will follow behind her. Anyone who dares to point a weapon at us is an enemy, so show no mercy."

The chaos in Booker City is irreversible, so Claire can only do her best to achieve the predetermined goal.

I can only start to act when Duke Booker takes out his secret weapon...but before that, I must take the opportunity to find out who the hidden enemy is.

"Signal Miss Spider Sakura! We're heading into the city!"

After receiving the order, Karin punched the sky and sent out a dark red stream of light. When the light exploded in the sky like fireworks, all the mercenaries rushed into the unguarded city gate at the same time.

——Then, they saw a miserable scene like purgatory.

"Why is this happening here?!"

"Your Highness, please be careful... I don't feel right."

The once bustling city was now littered with miserable corpses... The strong smell of blood, like that of a tragic battlefield, almost made Claire vomit.

The houses on the street were burning, and the streets were full of broken building debris. Apart from the constant sound of gunfire coming from afar, not even the sound of living people could be heard in the city.

Why could a riot be so tragic?

"It's mental interference. This city has been covered by some kind of mental wave that can stimulate human desire to kill... Captain Kulan, are your members carrying the mental protection props we prepared?"

"I have them all with me. No problem! Director Xia Ye, just protect His Highness!"

"Was it Duke Buck who did this? Or was it the enemy..."

——No matter who the culprit is, this inhumane behavior can never be forgiven.

"Report. Emergency. A large amount of life energy is found to be gathering in a specific direction."

Just as Claire was shocked by the tragic scene and lost the ability to think for a moment, a cherry-haired maid holding a giant axe suddenly fell from the sky and landed accurately beside her.

"Where does the life energy go?"

"Confirmed. I think it's in the direction of Gulin Town. I also detected a huge carbon-uranium radiation reaction."

"It's the monster, Your Highness. Duke Booker is using the lives of these residents to stimulate the awakening of the artificial monster."

Since Klia hadn't come to her senses yet, Xia Ye immediately made a judgment on her behalf.

"Go and notify our trucks and have them head to Gulin Town immediately. Your Highness, we must get there as soon as possible."
