"Does the Marquis mean that our whereabouts have been leaked?"
Maine nodded and looked at the jumping flames. "The other party has hired interstellar mercenaries, and it's a life-and-death battle. Obviously, they want our lives."
Lucy frowned and said, "Although we didn't try to hide our whereabouts, it's not something that anyone can do to know where we are." The other party was able to find us so quickly. It's obvious that they know our whereabouts like the back of their hand. "
'"So I suspect that it should be someone from the City of Gold, especially someone who can grasp our whereabouts. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to get our coordinates from the Academy of Light's database. In that case, this person should be a Marquis or above to be able to do this. "
Maine sneered, "Although there are quite a few of us Marquises, it's not too difficult to find out who did it. As soon as we return to Adahua Planet, I will immediately investigate this matter. "
Lucy whispered, "But what is his purpose? Stop us from going to the temple? Don't you want that slate to be made public? "
"Perhaps it's simpler. The other party just wants you to be unable to return, Your Highness." Ma Yin said.
Lucy was surprised, "Want my life? Why, I don't think I can threaten anyone. "
'"That's just what Your Highness thinks, but some people don't think so. Besides, Your Highness, there's no need to belittle yourself. As the Empress, you are favored by His Majesty, and you are the successor of the Golden Rose. All of these factors together are enough to make you a big problem for someone. "Ma Yin smiled and said," Perhaps that person is afraid that there will be another Empress in the City of Gold? "
Lucy shook her head and felt that all of this was too unbelievable.
Ma Yin looked out of the room and said, "It's dark. Your Highness, rest."
Angeloni had already made the bedding for her. Hearing this, she also said, "Yes, Your Highness, rest. We still have to go up the mountain tomorrow. "
Since both of them had said so, Lucy did not insist. She nodded, walked to a remote place in the hall, and got into the quilt. A moment later, a long breath sounded.
Angeloni, who was sitting near Lucy, was changing her bloodstained bandages. Not far away, two War Puppets stood motionless in the dim light like statues. Ma Yin looked at the two puppets and walked to Angeloni's side. "I heard about you from His Highness. Angeloni, your ability is very special. It's also very dangerous. I'll say it directly, I can smell the scent of a rotting wolf on your body. Usually, these scents only appear on those who have killed countless people. I don't know how you became His Highness' guard. But I have to warn you, if I find out that you harm His Highness, I will kill you on the spot. Do you understand? "
"Don't worry, I won't harm His Highness. This job is easy, and the pay is more than what I used to earn by working hard. I'm not stupid enough to dig my own grave. "Angeloni smiled.
"It's best if that's the case." Ma Yin added, "And your War Puppet ability, don't use it if you don't need it. I don't mind using corpses to increase my combat power, but this will ultimately make His Highness unhappy. "
"I know. Anyway, the puppet can only be used for a day or two. Without being soaked in potion, the corpse will rot very quickly, and the loss of combat power will be too fast. At most tomorrow, you won't see those two corpses again. "
"Then that's it. Protect His Highness." Ma Yin said before leaving.
Looking at the man's back, Angeloni stuck out her tongue and said, "Damn it, you care so much about His Highness. You have ulterior motives."
She looked at Lucy, who was sleeping soundly not far away, and her gaze fell on the silver bracelet. The surface of the silver bracelet immediately twisted slightly. Angeloni turned her head, and it was obvious that the Silver Winged Killer had reacted to her gaze. In fact, that killing machine was Lucy's strongest defense. It protected Lucy almost all day long. Angeloni thought to herself, no wonder Her Highness the Empress was able to sleep peacefully in this environment. With the Silver Winged Killer around, there was no sneak attack at all.
The sky was about to brighten.
At this time, it was the time of day when people were the least vigilant. Even the elite warriors of the Golden Rose Clan were no exception. Ma Yin arranged several lines of defense in front of the resting palace. On the outermost line of defense, two warriors had been guarding it all night, and their spirits were exhausted. As a result, a dark blue figure fell between the two of them, and the two of them reacted at least a second or two slower than usual. However, this short period of time was enough for the figure to throw out two snow-white saber lights and cut open their throats.
However, before he died, a warrior threw a high-energy grenade at the person. The loud explosion and flames of the grenade were the best warning. Ma Yin, who had closed his eyes and was pretending to sleep, immediately bounced up from the ground. When he rushed out of the hall, he saw that the beams of light crisscrossed between the bunkers in front of the hall. From time to time, a ball of flames would explode, and the person would charge forward at an extremely fast speed. Ma Yin didn't hesitate any longer. He circulated his Origin Energy with all his might, and his soaring Qi pushed him towards the direction of the person.
Under the bright sky, a golden sword qi pierced through the air. Wherever the sword qi passed, roses swayed unsteadily in the air. After a moment, it slowly dispersed.
The sword was like a rainbow.
Shock flashed through the eyes of the alien woman, Hana, who was about to launch an attack when the sky was about to brighten. She pulled back the two curved blades that had been thrown at her. They crisscrossed through the golden rainbow, but they only wore away a portion of the Origin Energy. The sword qi still shot over. Helplessly, he could only pull out the long and narrow saber from his back and pull out a resplendent white light under the dim light.
The white light was placed on top of the golden rainbow, and thunder rang out endlessly as the Origin Energy of the two sides collided. Hana was definitely not as powerful as Ma Yin's Origin Energy, and she was pushed back, her legs plowing a ravine on the ground. Suddenly, a person rushed out and smashed his fist into the golden rainbow like a hammer, causing Ma Yin's sword qi to shatter and explode.
As the golden rainbow sword qi exploded into flames, the corner of Yi Lu's mouth twitched and he said in a deep voice, "The target is in that hall?"
"There's no mistake. I've already confirmed it before the operation." Hana said softly.
After the hurricane disappeared yesterday, Yi Lu and Hana met up. The two of them followed the traces left behind by Ma Yin and the others to the platform of the palace. They had long since discovered Lucy, but they weren't in a hurry to act. She waited until dawn before launching a surprise attack. Originally, according to Hana's calculations, she could break into the hall before the enemy organized an attack. However, the warriors of the Thorn Thorn were more difficult to deal with than she had imagined. He had only broken through the first line of defense when he sounded the alarm, so much so that the hall was stopped by the other party's experts before he could break through. Even Yi Lu had no choice but to appear in advance.
Yi Lu's expression was solemn and ugly. Apart from Hana, there was no news of the other mercenaries. Even the golden card seemed to have disappeared from the world. Although Ma Yin's combat strength had also been reduced, he was still at a disadvantage.
Right now, the target was in the hall. Since he had already arrived here, there was no possibility of him giving up. Yi Lu said in a deep voice, "I'll hold that expert back. Hana, can you take care of the people in the hall?"
"I'll try." Hana said.
"Then go." Yi Lu raised his hooked hand and shook his wrist. The hooked hand fell off and three barrels appeared inside. Following that, the barrel spun and shot out Origin Energy bullets. It turned out that the iron hook was just a disguise, but it was actually a rotary cannon!
The line of fire from the cannon shot towards Mayin like a long whip. The latter lowered his body to dodge and pounced at Yi Lu. Yi Lu laughed wildly and continued to shoot. Wherever the powerful bullet fire went, it caused a storm. The warriors hiding behind the bunker were mercilessly cut open along with the bunker. Instantly, the Thorn of Thorns' warriors suffered heavy casualties, causing Ma Yin to be furious.
After a round of shooting, Ma Yin closed the distance and shook his sword. Countless fine sword Qi covered him. Yi Lu ignored the tempting sword Qi and allowed them to cut nearly a hundred thin wounds all over his body. However, he raised his fist and smashed it into the tip of Ma Yin's sword. A strong force collided with the sword, almost causing Ma Yin to be unable to hold the sword. Only then did the Marquis know that this Nelm man was also an expert.
At this moment, Hana had already bypassed Ma Yin and rushed towards the hall. Just as he was about to crash into the entrance of the hall, a fishy wind suddenly blew in the hall. Hana stopped her footsteps, and a saber light flashed in the darkness. If she had crashed into it just now, it would have been equivalent to feeding it to someone else.
Someone came out of the hall, a total of two people. But when she saw the two of them, Hana couldn't help but be stunned. She exclaimed softly, "Old dog, gold card. What are you doing! "
These two were the mercenaries who had been turned into puppets by Angeloni. The old dog was fine. Apart from a bullet hole in its head, there was nothing unusual about it. However, Hana felt that something was amiss when she saw the gold card. There was a scar from Planet Raff's chest to the top of his head. It looked like he had been split in half. If Hana knew that Angeloni had torn it open with her bare hands, she would have been even more surprised. Seeing that not only did the two of them not recognize him, but they also raised their sabers and punched at him, Hana felt even more strange. When she saw that the two of them were moving, but their pupils had long since dissipated, Hana cried out involuntarily, "Are you dead?"
Since she knew that these were two corpses, Hana no longer showed mercy. Her combat strength was originally above the two of them. In addition, the puppet's movements were not as agile as when she was alive, and her Origin Energy was constantly flowing away. The two puppets couldn't entangle Hana for long before they were beheaded by her.
She passed the puppet and rushed into the hall, but there was no sign of Lucy. At this moment, Hana's eyes lit up with a golden light, and she saw traces of Origin Energy activity in the hall. They marked the path Lucy had taken to leave.
Hana snorted coldly and chased after him with her saber.
The sky had already lit up, but the dark red sky looked as if the planet was about to be destroyed. Lucy and Angeloni were walking through the palace complex. This place was already in ruins. Those once majestic things were now only empty shells. The wind and sand howled wantonly here, as if someone was laughing at these dead things loudly.
The two women passed through the palace complex, passed through an altar-like plaza, and finally stepped onto the foot of the Holy Mountain through a damaged stone gate. Raising his head, the top of the Holy Mountain was hidden in the wind and sand. There was only one mountain path, winding from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. On one side of the mountain path was a cliff, and on the other side was the void. From the sharp sound of the wind, it was not hard to tell that climbing the mountain was definitely not an easy task.
Lucy nodded to Angeloni, and the two of them rushed up the mountain path together. The moment they stepped onto the mountain path, both of their bodies sank, as if they were being pressed down by a thousand weights. Their bodies suddenly became incomparably heavy.
As they walked up the mountain path, the gravity exerted on the two of them suddenly increased!
