Chapter 2197

Such a charge

is likely to force everyone to their deaths.

Sure enough, after the Queen's order was issued,

huge public opinion appeared throughout the country.

Not allowed to leave.

Leaving is treason.

But the country is simply unable to resist the Abyss.

People in the City of Thousand Waters are naturally not afraid,

because they are protected by the Hydro Archon's barrier.

However, outside the City of Thousand Waters,

they are now facing a large number of questions.

"To what extent is the Hydro Archon pushing us?"

"In front of the Hydro Archon, we are just toys that can be discarded!!!"

"Hydro Archon, what exactly do you see us as..."

Despair.

Anger.

Cursing.

Of course, at this time, voices of rebellion also appeared.

"Since the Hydro Archon doesn't like us, and even wants to keep us in captivity, then... let's leave this sad country!"

"That's right, the Hydro Archon doesn't like us at all..."

"Treason, hehe... so, you would rather let us die than let us escape, is that it?"

"We're going to die anyway, but if we escape to the border line, we can survive!"

"Yes... what about treason? Don't those cavalrymen have their own families? Don't they have clans..."

"If you're really that cruel, you can just kill us all!!!"

People were already crazy.

In one city,

after a simple referendum,

one hundred and sixty thousand people prepared to withdraw.

They wanted to defect directly to Mondstadt.

If that's called treason,

then Fontaine is not worth keeping!

The cavalry guarding the pass saw such a crazy scene

and were completely silenced.

And the judge came before them.

"If you stay, the Hydro Archon will vent her anger on you, but... if you follow us and leave, perhaps there will be a glimmer of life."

"This..."

"Treason, do you want to bear this charge?"

Facing the Grand Judge's questioning,

the cavalrymen looked at each other

and silently joined the ranks,

becoming one of those protecting the commoners,

following the majority

and withdrawing toward Mondstadt.

The next day,

when the Platinum Queen woke up from the palace,

bad news came again.

In just one night,

Fontaine lost five hundred thousand of its population.

This was not a small number,

but a very crazy move.

This proved that in order to survive,

people had completely abandoned her.

Her stunning face

had been ignited by anger.

"These damn lowly commoners, how dare they... these guys... where are my cavalry, why didn't they stop them?"

"My Queen, shouldn't you be concerned about how many people died last night?"

Facing the Hydro Archon's questioning,

the old man did not answer,

but retorted instead.

The Platinum Queen was slightly stunned, her eyes became cold, and a splash of water flew out directly,

instantly knocking the old man away.

He fell to his knees, unable to rise,

vomiting blood incessantly.

"Do you know who you are talking to? Etiquette... aristocratic etiquette, you don't even know? You lack elegance... this is a lesson for you.

As my subordinate, you only need to be obedient."

Facing the Queen's judgment,

the old man smiled bitterly and said: "You only care about how many people left, but you don't know that three hundred thousand people died last night! A city...

was destroyed by the Abyss monsters.

Our knights went to support, but they still couldn't defeat those monsters.

Guys we've never seen before turned that city into a nest.

My Queen, if you truly love your people, why don't you look at what their needs are right now?

They just want to live."

"What did you say? How could so many die..."

This time the Hydro Archon was also shocked.

She did not expect

that in just one night,

so many would perish.

The old man stood up tremblingly and said: "It seems the ley lines erupted, causing a very powerful monster to appear. Its body is purple-black, and it is completely immune to elemental power.

The knights turned into food one after another.

That city was also captured.

Three hundred powerhouses who mastered Visions perished.

We... can no longer hold on." ===== CHAPTER 2199 =====
