Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

Without a doubt, Autumn City had become a living hell. It was no longer a problem of defending against the enemy. It was unknown how many people could be saved from the enemy and how many of them were still unknown.

New Flow could only devour pollutants, and the black gold moths could only repair physical damage. I was helpless against my already damaged spiritual world. The only reason that the orphans from last night did not go crazy was because they had only been contaminated for a short period of time. However, Autumn City had fallen for so long that the situation could not be compared.

‘Everyone, prepare your defenses. Don’t let a single bit of your skin get exposed.”

I signaled for everyone to check their combat uniforms one last time. Then, I used New Flow to cover everyone with a layer of the protective film and placed a black-gold moth by their side. I didn’t even miss out on the elves. If I wanted to save Autumn City, I would have to use New Flow. This couldn’t be kept a secret any longer.

“If you feel any signs of contamination, immediately send a moth to inform me. Please don’t force yourself, do you understand? ”

“Yes!”

Everyone was divided into three teams and sneaked in from the three checkpoints of Autumn City. The strange thing was that no one was on the city gate tower. The wanderers had not sent anyone to guard their spoils of war.

The situation was not right.

I observed my surroundings more carefully, but I didn’t find anything other than dead silence.

After entering the city, I saw no lights on the dark streets. Everything was covered in a layer of shadow that seemed to be able to swallow all light. Even my vision became blurry.

“Search the area within fifty meters and try to save as many people as possible.”

Under my command, the soldiers shot into the darkness like arrows. In just three minutes, everyone returned and brought me bad news. They didn’t find anyone, no bodies, and no bloodstains. If it weren’t for the obvious traces of life around them, they would have thought that this was no man’s land.

The contaminated person should have lost his mind and gone crazy. Even if we were late, there should have been traces of a fight at the scene. How could there be nothing?

I didn’t believe it and continued to explore further. However, the buildings within a 500-meter radius were really empty. The furniture was also neatly arranged as if there had not been a fierce battle.

I asked the other two teams, and they were in the same situation.

Kaya’s voice was a little distorted on the radio. She said in surprise, “Autumn City is the fourth largest city-state at the border, with a permanent population of more than ten thousand. How can there be no one here? When Autumn City’s City Lord called for help, he clearly said that there was an armed fight, but there was no trace of chaos at the scene. This is impossible!”

“That’s right, that’s impossible.” I said, “But this is the situation in front of us. There are no disaster victims, no wanderers, and nothing but darkness. Did the wanderers conduct a large-scale evil sacrifice here, and everyone was sacrificed?”

Master Kevin denied this possibility. “An evil sacrificial array that can sacrifice an entire city must be very complicated. It’s impossible to complete the preparation in a short day. Moreover, even though this place is filled with evil energy, I haven’t found any clues related to formations, so there shouldn’t have been any evil sacrifices here.”

That was strange. There was no sign of the dead or alive. 10000 people couldn’t just vanish into thin air, right?

The whole thing started to develop in a puzzling direction. As we went deeper, we explored more and more areas, but we still didn’t see a single elf...

When the sky started to brighten, the three teams gathered at the center of Autumn City.

Autumn City was a very ancient city. Its districts were spread out in a ring shape, and the city center was a large and clean square.

However, this square was now very quiet. There was nothing other than us and the gushing fountain.

We talked about our findings, but none of us found anything. There was no one, and there were no clues.

Even the palace of Autumn City was empty. Kaya’s face was pale. The people affected were her people, so how could she be indifferent? “The palace is the most heavily guarded place in a city. The guards will not let go of any sign of trouble. However, no one is there, not even a trace of fighting. It is as if the fighting sounds in the call for help were fake. How can this be possible?”

‘Are there any underground fortifications in Autumn City?” I asked, “Or any other place where you can hide?”

Kaya shook her head. “As far as I know, there shouldn’t be any. There’s an underground river below Autumn City. There’s no way to build any fortifications.”

After many fruitless searches, Kaya and I could only report the current situation to the Lycan pack and the Elf King. I then began to purify the evil forces that had filled every corner of Autumn City.

I swear I wouldn’t want to eat seafood for the next six months.

As I went deeper into the stream, I realized something was wrong. There was a limit to the corruptive evil power. Leviathan was not here, so why was the evil power still endless? From morning to noon, six hours had passed. Autumn City still looked sickly, as if my purification had no effect.

However, the power that New Flow was absorbing was real.
