It was easy for those brainless invaders to die. By the time they reached the entrance, only three of them were left. However, dealing with the aftermath became a problem for me.
Thanks to Eliza, the explosion of those "safe" goblin machines resounded through the sky. In the quiet night, it could even be heard from three streets away. This was originally a legendary haunted house. Now, its infamy would probably spread far and wide.
As I expected, after discovering that the location of the alarm was the residence of the legendary "malignant Lich", the Town Security unhesitatingly woke up their sleeping sisters and sent out a luxurious formation of thirty elite Knight.
A Legend-rank Holy Knight leading a group of thirty Silver-rank and above Holy Knight … It was more than enough to challenge an adult dragon. It was obvious whether they were here to save someone or to take the opportunity to get rid of the "malignant tumor" that was affecting society.
"That bastard Lich, I can't find any evidence against him. This time, Yawen will lead Team A to rescue him while I will lead Team B in a surprise attack. Hehe, although I don't know why the Hall of Law Enforcement is always protecting him, I don't believe that this Lich doesn't have any contraband. If we succeed in taking him down this time, I will treat you to a drink as team leader. "
"Oh, get rid of him! For the classic magazines in my storage room … They were all blown up! "
"Hehe, first we were hung by a rope in the sky, then we were spun until we vomited, and then we were knocked into a wall by the Ghost Horse … Sisters, it's time for revenge!!"
"For Momo's little bear!"
"For my dowry! Knight squad charge! attack！”
From these fierce slogans, it could be seen that a certain someone had done a lot of good deeds … His grudge was unusually deep.
That brainless Lich didn't commit any major crimes, but in terms of the mental torture that his pranks caused to the Town Security, all the criminals added together probably didn't even make up half of it.
If they were to take down the Lich this time, not only would they receive the team leader's reward, they would also be able to take revenge for the destruction of their campsite and past grudges. From the moment they set off, the Knight squad exploded with astonishing vigor and morale, advancing at a speed faster than the cavalry.
When the Town Security arrived, they were surprised to find that their superior, the Iron Mask Steel Guard (Xueti), had already arrived. Furthermore, upon seeing the corpses on the ground, his face paled and he immediately threw the idea of finding trouble with the Lich to the back of his mind.
"Dark Elf? Why? "
The dead were all his own kind. Looking at the spider silk shadow hood that increased the movement of shadows, the thick leather cat boots that lowered the sound of footsteps, and the daggers and knives that glowed with a green light, even without considering their terrible reputation, it was obvious what they were here for.
"This is the standard equipment for assassination missions of the Venomous Spider Fangs. This kind of Assassin who has advanced twice requires the blessing of the Spider Queen. Only the big families of the Dark Elves can afford it."
On the surface, just the Dark Elves would be considered a crime. Even in the underground world, many places would capture Dark Elves first and then interrogate them, and they would basically not capture the wrong person. Of course, if it were demons and devils, it would not be wrong to burn them first and then interrogate them …
In this world, there are times when a race itself represents good and evil as well as the faction one is in. For Sulfur Mountain City to use the 'Evil, Chaotic' Dark Elves as city guards, it is rather strange.
If it was just a crime committed by a fellow clansman, Diana, the captain of the Town Security Team, was used to it. She would just give the same punishment. However, the cries of alarm behind her made her heart stop.
"It's Carlos from the 7th Clan, a candidate for the Head of Martial Arts. He came with the diplomatic team from Morsblight City."
"Morsblight City?" Just thinking of the name of her hometown makes Diana reveal a bitter smile. As a freak who believes in the Holy Light, they don't have any good memories in the Spider Queen's domain. "… What will come will come. The Spider Queen will never forget her enemies and there is no such thing as forgiveness in the Dark Elf language. It is impossible for them to let us go."
They are all Dark Elves. Even if they believe in the Holy Light, they wouldn't forget the underhanded methods. This is also one of the reasons why the Dark Elf Knight of Sulfur Mountain City is so hard to deal with for the criminals.
Arunide intends to get rid of these traitors of the Spider Queen and the Dark Elf Knight has always been on guard against these 'diplomatic team' from their hometown. At the very least, outside the inn where the diplomatic team is staying, there are scouts who have been taking turns to follow them.
But apparently, they still underestimated these elites from their hometown. Apparently, they have managed to hide from the scouts they sent out. Perhaps, the recent serial murder case is also their doing …
"Yo, isn't this Captain Diana? Long time no see. "
This Lich lies through his teeth as usual. But now, the worried Diana doesn't have the mood to find trouble with him. She is still worried about how Morsblight City, which never suffers losses, will react when the case is brought to light. Will they blame this loss on her and her sisters?
Even without considering the reaction of their hometown, the recent Dark Elves committing crimes in the city has already given the Town Security additional pressure. Now, these Dark Elves who raided the Lich's residence died at the scene, which is equivalent to being caught red-handed.
But to her, this is already an expectation. What she is more worried about is that when the citizens know that the serial murder case is really Dark Elves, then based on her understanding of her people, it will be even harder to find evidence.
If she is unable to solve the case, will the reputation of the group be affected? After all, a few big merchants have already been assassinated. Unable to solve the case even after so long, the Town Security is already under a lot of pressure.
"Diana, your luck is not bad this time. The case of the big merchant Xiawen is actually solved so easily."
"Solved? The serial murder case against the merchants? "Hearing this, the Dark Elf Knight jolts, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
"You have evidence!?"
Diana finds it hard to believe. Even though she has already guessed that the killers are from the diplomatic group, it is difficult for Dark Elves to leave behind evidence. As the Enforcer of Sulfur Mountain City, especially when the other party is a diplomatic group, she can't act without evidence. Instead, she is restrained to the point where she can only monitor them from the outside.
"Yes, that fellow actually brought the assassination list with him. This time, the evidence is irrefutable. We can even use this opportunity to protest to Morsblight City."
At this moment, the silent and tall metal block is actually so happy, it is really rare. But then again, as the person in charge of the Hall of Law Enforcement, the serial murder case has yet to be solved, so the pressure on him is even greater than her.
"Right, are the Beyar brothers still in the detention center?"
"Hm? Beyar? "
"It's that pair of Goblin Explosion Maniacs."
"Oh, that pair of green explosives. In order to save money, they actually used RDX (a type of explosive used to blow up mountains) as the power source for the construction equipment. How could that thing not explode? Even now, they are still insisting on their innocence, saying that it is a secret recipe passed down from their ancestors and is definitely safe and reliable. They are still unwilling to pay the bail and fines. We are still gathering evidence in preparation to sue them for manufacturing dangerous and shoddy goods. But it is a pity that we can't find any evidence. Their goods have all been blown to smithereens … "
"We have evidence! Look at these Dark Elves and those shattered Goblin equipment. Don't you find the cause of their death familiar? "
"Xueti, you look so honest on the outside, but you are also a ruthless traitor." Hearing the agitated words of the Tauren Enforcer, I can't help but draw a cross of prayer for the Beyar brothers in my heart. Then, without hesitation, I take a step forward and join the traitor camp …
"Lord, it is all the fault of those greedy Goblins. I am a good citizen. A while ago, my maid bought some household goods from the safe Goblin equipment and in the end, all of them exploded. Luckily, those kind people helped me block the disaster. Otherwise, the one who died would definitely be me. Lords, please redress my grievances! "
"Dark Elves are kind people? Wasn't the Lich already dead? Could he die again? Furthermore, it would be weird if a scourge like you could really die. "Looking at the twitching eyes of the two Enforcers, I can already guess what they are thinking.
At the very least, the way they look at me is as though saying 'Do you think we are idiots or are you the idiot'. This kind of distrust makes me unhappy, especially when I am restricted by the curse of the SemiGod Equipment. Even though what I said is the truth … I didn't know about this matter. Those Dark Elves did help me block the disaster.
Hey hey, if you don't take my words seriously, be careful that I file a complaint. Be careful that I secretly make things difficult for you and send you to the sulfur mine to be a supervisor!
"Cough cough, the destructive power of the Beyar brothers' equipment shouldn't be that great?" Seeming to remember that this kind of gaze is rude, Diana turns her gaze elsewhere and starts to change the topic.
Seeing that her superior is here, she knows that her plan to cause trouble for the Lich today has gone down the drain. However, she has also experienced the might of those explosives. The elites of Morsblight City wouldn't die from such a small scale explosion.
"It's this." Xueti takes out some fragments from the wound of the corpse. Those are some fragments that are glowing with a silver light.
"High purity Sacred Silver Particles. They are embedded in the engine of the engineering equipment. Once the engine explodes, it is just like the Dwarves' flintlock. The explosion provides the initial impetus and the real killer is these fragments."
Looking at these Sacred Silver fragments, the corner of my mouth starts to twitch. "Eliza … You sure are meticulous in your design."
"Looks like it really isn't your doing. Did you offend the Beyar brothers and they intend to murder you?"
This time, I don't need to say anything more. My suspicions are cleared. Sacred Silver is a holy object that has received the blessings of the Order Gods. It is extremely lethal against Demons and Undead. Just touching it would cause severe burns to me and it is a true damage that directly damages my soul. I am unable to use it.
"Is there a need to go so far? To this extent. " I recall a period of time when Eliza's fingers were wrapped in bandages and she couldn't even move nimbly. It must be because she was loading these Sacred Silver fragments. Even if she is a half-demon, touching these things wouldn't feel good.
"In order to prevent her from randomly reviving, I should give her two years of salary first …"
"Boom!!" Suddenly, after a series of explosions, a gigantic figure rushes out.
"Block him!"
"Who is that?"
"Ao ao ao!"
How can they let a suspicious person escape at this moment? The Town Security surrounding him, only to hear the arrogant Beastman War Roar!
But with a flash of silver light, the gigantic blade rushes out like a dragon. Under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, their superior weapons are broken.
"How is this possible! Ah! "
"Be careful, his weapon isn't right! Don't fight him head on! "
"Clang clang clang!" After a series of crisp sounds, under the gigantic blade, the thick armor of the Town Security is as fragile as paper. Wherever the blade goes, cries of agony and blood splatters!
Following the momentum, the berserk half-beast actually rushes out of the encirclement!
"Ao Ku, how can this be?!"
Of course, Diana recognizes the scarlet-eyed half-beast in front of her. This criminal is cunning and savage. Back then, the Town Security had to put in a lot of effort to capture him.
"No, how can he be so strong?"
Half-elf half-beast, a Bronze-ranked assassin. Even though his eyes are scarlet-red and his muscles are bulging, as if he has entered the special berserker state of the Orcs and Barbarians, a Bronze-ranked warrior is actually able to run amok in front of a group of Silver-ranked Great Knight and above.
"It's that blade! That blade is strange, don't let it touch you! "
Soon, everyone realized that something is wrong. Even though everyone's weapons are already very good, in front of that dragon-patterned blade, they often end up being split into two after two collisions.
"Get out of the way!!"
With a good weapon, one can indeed challenge someone of a higher rank. However, Diana is a Legendary. The difference between the two is too big. The Silver Avenger, which is also an Epic Holy Sword, is not inferior to the Dragonslayer Blade.
"Clang!"
The blade and the sword cross. Unfortunately, the Silver Avenger is directly split into two. However, the webbing between Ao Ku's thumb and index finger, which is holding the blade, is split open. Then, he loses his defensive stance and is sent flying by a vicious kick from Diana.
Diana used a lot of strength, obviously intending to keep him alive to interrogate him. However, Ao Ku was first tortured, then exhausted by berserk, then controlled by the blade. Finally, he was kicked in the chest by a Legendary Knight. Finally, he spits out two mouthfuls of blood on the ground and died just like that.
When the Holy Knight realized that something is wrong and decided to use the once-a-day Holy Healing to save his life, Ao Ku is already breathless.
"I need an explanation!! Why is Ao Ku, who should be in Sulfur Mountain City Prison, here? Why would the Dark Elf Assassins attack here! "
The remaining half of the silver dagger was already pointed at me. It seemed that she wouldn't give up until she got an answer.
But I smiled … Everything is as I expected, the fish still took the bait.
After exchanging glances with Xueti, I remained silent. In the end, he stood out.
"It's like this. Actually, Roland has some secret relationship with our judicial system. He is a master of soul studies and torture. If we meet a stubborn prisoner, we would sometimes ask him for help …"
These explanations are actually the truth. At least, they are the truth that Xueti knows. Diana also vaguely feels that something is amiss. The judicial system is really too lenient with the Lich in front of us. Back then, when we were chasing him, we met Lord Wumianzhe and the arrival of the Head of the Hall of Law Enforcement is also very strange.
"Yes, we are actually on the same side." I can't lie, what I said is definitely the truth. In reality, what I am saying is that I am Wumianzhe himself. Yet, in front of the Holy Knight, they thought that I am saying that I have dealings with the judicial system. At this moment, just as I expected, Diana shows a look of realization.
"Hmph, no matter who is protecting you, don't let me catch you committing a crime! Otherwise, no one will be able to save you! Retreat! "
Before they leave, they even threaten me in front of their superior. What a typical dumb Knight. So innocent, so easy to make use of!
Just as I smiled as I watched them leave with the corpses, a familiar voice rang in my ears.
"The confession that Oke just forced out has been verified by the experimental subject named Arunide. I have already made two copies and sent them to Marguerite and Lord Adam through secret channels. However, Lord, is it worth it to spend so much effort to put on a show and even expose your relationship with the judicial system? "
"Of course it is worth it. To be honest, I have underestimated that perverted killer. To think that he would have such an important secret in his hands. In order to calm those restless fellows temporarily, Oke has to die. Furthermore, he has to die in front of the world. This way, as long as the experimental subject really escapes, the news of the diplomatic group escaping in the middle of the night will seem real. After that, as long as the experimental subject obediently passes the fake news to them, they shouldn't suspect that the information has been leaked. "
"Just to numb those fellows, you put on such a show? And even lost a Myth-ranked God Weapon? "
"That Dragonslayer? That is a scam. That 1% chance of going berserk actually increases the wielder's strength by 1% every second. That means that after 2 minutes, they will go berserk to the point where they won't recognize anyone. Isn't this a scam? It is good to give it away. Furthermore, I remember that there is someone in the Town Security who can use this blade. Aren't the Town Security my arms? Isn't their strength my strength? "
"… Why do I feel that you are taking pity on the fairer sex and protecting them, cutting off the clues that they are pursuing so as to prevent them from being implicated too deeply and becoming cannon fodder."
"Ha, your imagination sure is rich." I chuckle and look up at the sky.
"There is no such thing. This matter involves the Underground City Lords Alliance and the Malevolent Elemental God. It also involves the traitors of the Parliament. Their fighting strength is not bad, but some things require brains. With such low political ability, they are worse than cannon fodder if they are implicated. It wasn't easy to create a Holy Light Knight Group. It would be a pity to sacrifice them for nothing. I still intend to make them work for me for a few more years. "
Saying that, I became inexplicably excited.
"The Ancient Malevolent God and the Underground Autarchs finally have an enemy that is worth going all out against. Hehe, perhaps, this is the sign of the arrival of a new era. "
