"We've basically cleaned them all up, right?" Alkradra sighed in relief as he looked at the Corpses littering the ground.
"So... so disgusting..." Mimosa Vermillion knelt on the ground and began to retch. Although she had bravely treated every injured civilian during the battle, seeing these corpses in various states of decay had left her with significant psychological trauma!
"Long live the Magic Knight Squad!"
"Long live!" At this moment, the Corpse riots in the central, northwest, western, and eastern regions of the Royal Capital had all been suppressed. The members of the Magic Knight Squad who had come to participate in the suppression stood where they were, accepting the praise of the surrounding civilians.
"At a critical time like this, he, the Magic Emperor, is running around aimlessly. Doesn't he know that there is nothing in the entire kingdom more important than my safety?" Augustus Kira Clover XIII was currently lying in the arms of two beauties, grumbling incessantly.
"As you say, but we, the Magic Emperor's attendants, will protect you!" Marx said, kneeling respectfully on the ground. "Moreover, the riots in the Royal Capital have been quelled, so please rest assured."
"Hmm, then I'll just take a nap." Augustus Kira Clover XIII had originally had a long list of complaints ready to throw at the Magic Emperor, but upon hearing that the chaos had been quelled, he simply couldn't be bothered to say them. As he closed his eyes, he muttered listlessly, "Damn Julius."
"..." Marx finally breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally managed to dismiss this big shot.
"Roar!" Meanwhile, Fuegoleon, riding his fiery red lion, had finally arrived at the northern battlefield. He had just taken a tour around the royal palace and, seeing that it was secure, had rushed to the northern battlefield. He arrived just in time to see Leopold up close against the Mud Corpse, using Spiral Flames to forcibly bake it dry and turn it into ash.
"Well done!" Fuegoleon praised.
"Brother, you're here!" Leopold said excitedly.
"It seems these two are the culprits behind this area." Fuegoleon said, looking at Ladros and Valtos.
"Yes, the one with long hair is the Mage controlling these Corpses, and the one dressed as a corpse is the Spatial Mage responsible for teleporting them." Asta said, dispelling his Shadow Clones. "A mountain of corpses" was the most fitting description for this area now, as it had the highest number of Corpses.
"Brother, how are the other areas doing now?" Leopold asked.
"The other places are basically resolved; only your area is left." Fuegoleon said.
"The target has finally appeared!" Valtos licked his lips and then activated his Spatial Magic, teleporting the Magic Knight Squad members who were currently being marked to locations hundreds of kilometers away.
"Damn it!" By the time Nozel realized something was wrong, it was already too late, and he was immediately teleported away along with his younger brother and sister.
"Huh? Where are they?" The civilians who had previously been surrounding Nozel and the others with praise were all shocked. The members of the Magic Knight Squad had left way too quickly!
This situation was also playing out in the other regions. By the time these Magic Knight Squad members realized what had happened, they had already been teleported out of the Royal Capital. Only Yuno, who had received a warning from the Wind Spirit Sylph, managed to escape that fate!
"Damn it, we've been played!" Sol Marron grabbed her hair in frustration.
"Although we knew the enemy had an extremely powerful Spatial Mage, I didn't expect them to bundle us all up and take us away." Charlotte frowned.
"This is a disgrace!" Alkradra roared, looking toward the Royal Capital.
"Not a single member of the Crimson Lion King Squad or the Black Bulls was teleported over." Solid Silva said.
"Perhaps it's because their strength is too weak!" Nebra Silva said.
"Stop making the sounds of weaklings wallowing in self-pity. Right now, we should be thinking about how to return to the battlefield!" Nozel said coldly.
"But Brother, we are at least hundreds of kilometers away from the Royal Capital. At this distance, unless one can use Spatial Magic, we can't fly back in a short time!" Nebra Silva said.
"It seems we have no choice but to use that method." Nozel looked at Charlotte. Since they were the only two Squad Captains here, it was time for the two of them to make a decision.
"Then let's do that. We will work together and use a Super Composite Magic to return." Charlotte nodded. And just as Charlotte and the others were preparing to return, the people in the northern region had already sensed the changes in the Royal Capital.
"The mana of the Magic Knight Squad has disappeared!" Noelle said, shocked.
"You were the one who unleashed this large-scale Spatial Magic, right?" Fuegoleon said, looking at Valtos.
"I didn't expect that these big shots who are usually so high and mighty would all fall for it." Valtos said mockingly.
"Where did you teleport them to?" Fuegoleon asked.
"As for that, it depends on whether you have the guts to go there yourself." As Valtos said this, he cast Spatial Magic beneath Fuegoleon's feet. Having been on guard, Fuegoleon noticed the signs immediately. He could have leaped away at the optimal moment, but at the last second, Fuegoleon changed his mind.
"'If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger's cub?' is it?" Asta naturally noticed Fuegoleon's move. Thanks to the insight of his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he could clearly sense Fuegoleon's hesitation and decision.
"Brother!" Leopold exclaimed when he saw his brother being teleported away by Spatial Magic, while Fuegoleon himself felt a flash of white light before his eyes and instantly arrived in a strange place.
"It seems I was teleported alone." Fuegoleon did not see any other members of the Magic Knight Squad here, and he immediately understood in his heart that it seemed he was being singled out!
"The people of the Magic Knight Squad really are trash; not a single one remains, they've all fallen for the trap. Now the Royal Capital can be said to be ours!" In the northwestern region where Yuno was, a witch Mage wearing a black winged robe with yellow braided hair licked her grape-purple lips and said excitedly, "The magic of the Royal Capital's fresh sows, here I come!"
"Ash Curse Magic: Ash Absorption Circle!" After saying this, the witch Mage directly summoned her grimoire. As the curse magic was cast, clusters of irregular grey-purple magic headed towards the civilians below her.
"What is this!" A citizen noticed something was wrong, but before he could escape, he was already enveloped by a streak of grey-purple magic.
