Dean's speed didn't slow down, and he quickly rushed to the back of the crowd. Looking at the crowd in front of him, he didn't hesitate to step on the back of the person in front of him. Using the person's back as a stepping stone, he continued to run forward. Along the way, the crowded figures were either trampled or crushed by Dean. The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Aisha, who was chasing from behind, was stunned. She thought that Dean would be stopped by the crowded passage. She didn't expect him to completely ignore the lives of these people and rush out at all costs.
"Damn it!" Aisha clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she watched Dean trample on the crowd. Dean could do this, but she couldn't. As the captain of the dark knights appointed by the Dark Church, she was assigned to this branch of the Dark Church to protect the people here from the attack of the Holy Church. Moreover, in this crowded crowd, it was difficult to guarantee that there wouldn't be a star-class believer or even a master. If they were trampled to death by her, she couldn't bear the responsibility alone.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Aisha raised her hand and pushed the flustered crowd in front of her. Although she couldn't trample on the crowd violently like Dean, she wouldn't stop. She squeezed from the back of the crowd and at the same time let the guards next to her assist her to evacuate the crowd.
While she was struggling to open the way, Dean had climbed to the front of the crowd. He jumped down and pushed the people in front of him to the ground, making a gap for him to stand. Then he quickly jumped over them and ran to the exit of the passage, which was the hall of the castle. At the moment, there were a large number of people standing in the hall, all wearing masks. Many of them were standing in front of the castle, pointing at the outside and talking.
Dean squeezed into the crowd and jumped out of the other side of the window without looking back. He jumped to the grass outside the castle and looked back at the darkness behind him. He saw a large number of people gathered in front of a horse shed outside the manor, where his carriage was parked.
Dean no longer looked at it. He quickly lowered his head and ran along the route he had previously observed. The castle was surrounded by a high wall, but in front of his inhuman jumping ability, it was useless. When he came to the front of the wall, he immediately saw the patrolling guards. These guards also noticed Dean, and they shouted and sprinted toward him.
Dean did not pay attention to him. He jumped over the wall and landed on the street outside. The surroundings were secluded and there was no one around. He quickly ran along a path and left the manor in the blink of an eye. He ran all the way to the wilderness outside the town.
Although there were wild beasts in the wilderness at night, he didn't have to worry about them at all.
…
…
An hour after the attack on the branch of the dark church.
The anesthetic fog in the plaza had already been dispersed by the Potioneering Apothecaries that had been dispatched. The unconscious people on the ground had also been given the antidote, and most of them had regained consciousness. However, some of the people who had been standing closer to the poisonous fog had ingested more of the anesthetic fog, causing their hearts to go numb and stop beating.
Inside the hall, Aisha and Simon stood with their hands by their sides. There was another person standing beside them. The pattern on his armor was the same as theirs, indicating that he was of the same level. In front of the three of them stood a figure that emitted a terrifying aura. His bones were extremely thick, and his entire body was covered in a black robe. He was nearly two meters tall and looked extremely imposing. His black hood covered most of his face, revealing thin lips that were as cold as daggers.
At this moment, this mighty figure was facing the cage, seeming to be inspecting the divine object of the last era within it, and also seeming to be sizing up the two iron pillars on the cage that had been cut off. Amidst the deathly silence, he slowly said, "Do all of you know what will happen to all of you if this thing is taken away?"
The faces of the three of them changed. Their bodies slightly trembled as they bowed their heads.
Aisha slightly gritted her teeth: "It's my dereliction of duty. Commander, please punish me!"
The imposing figure didn't make a sound. After a few minutes, he slowly said: "According to what you said, the enemy isn't a single person but the number isn't too many. Otherwise they wouldn't have sent only one person to steal. Immediately go and find out where this paralyzing fog came from. The other party was able to sneak in. It is very likely that they are people from the dark church. You must thoroughly investigate!"
"Yes." Simon immediately agreed.
Aisha hesitated: "Commander, there is something I don't know if I should say it or not."
"Hmm?" The stalwart figure turned around and glanced at her. "Speak."
Aisha bowed her head: "When I was fighting with the attacker, I said that he was killing innocent people. His response was: 'You people of the dark church are also qualified to call yourselves innocent'. Listening to his tone, it seems that he is very hostile towards the dark church. I think that he is someone sent by the Holy Church. "
Simon and the other youth were startled as they heard this. Their complexion fluctuated.
The imposing figure was silent for a moment. He slowly said: "Even if the knight of Holy Church wants to punish us they won't use poison. It goes against their dogma. The purpose of the other party should be to mislead us. A person who can invade the dark church's branch and then leave calmly. How can he waste unnecessary time in a fight with you? He is an extremely cunning guy. Moreover, it proves that he is a member of the dark church! "
Aisha was startled. Simon and the youth also revealed a look of realization.
"Go and search immediately. Before dawn, I need you to hand over something valuable, not a pile of trash. Go!" The stalwart figure ordered coldly.
Aisha, Simon and the youth immediately turned around and left.
"Bren." The imposing figure suddenly spoke, calling out to the youth, saying, "When we were being invaded, what were you doing?"
The youth's complexion changed. His body suddenly overflowed with cold sweat. He trembled as he replied: "Replying to the commander … I was drinking …"
The imposing figure indifferently said: "If such a thing happens again, your tongue and the thing between your legs will become seasonings for your wine."
The youth's complexion turned pale: "I won't dare to do it again."
"Go." The imposing figure indifferently said.
Time ticked by.
Five hours after the end of the attack.
Aisha, Simon, and Bren hastily returned to the main hall. When Aisha saw the imposing figure still standing in front of the cage, she hastily said, "Commander, I found the source of the paralyzing poisonous fog. A potion apothecary's shop sold this thing today. Moreover, the quantity was huge. According to the shop's lady boss, the quantity of poisonous fog that appeared in the main hall was about the same as the quantity she sold. The attacker was the one who bought it from her!"
