"Cough, cough, cough …"
After signing the deed, Han Dong coughed for a while.
He accidentally coughed up a ball of black sputum, which corroded a large hole in the ground.
The aura of death emanating from the hole, coupled with the aura of death seen in the manor before.
Lucius could naturally see that Han Dong's Talent Tree was related to death to a certain extent, but it felt completely different from the knights in the [Ultimate Knights]. There was a very strange feeling.
As the secret mission of great importance had not yet ended.
Although Lucius was curious about the Talent Tree, he did not immediately ask.
The three of them quickly returned to the manor and met up with the rest of the team.
At the same time, an indescribable bestial aura came from the cliff … Obviously, [Abel Lane] had completed the Seed Break.
Both of them had used Hybrid Demons to break the Seed Break. If this news spread in the Holy City, it would definitely alarm the council.
At that time, Han Dong and Abel would definitely be summoned by the nobles and even the royal family in the Holy City.
Abel, who ran back to the manor like a beast, had completely restrained his bestial aura.
The overall feeling he gave off was completely different. The lines on his skin were very similar to dragon scales … Moreover, Abel seemed to need a long time to stabilize the Talent Tree that had just broken the Seed Break.
Han Dong immediately explained the plan to 'sneak back to the Holy City' to Abel.
Everyone would first go down the secret mountain path until they reached the valley area of Mount Aragad. After traveling north for a while, they would take the Crowmen back to the Stuart Manor.
It was just as Han Dong had been worried.
Although they had killed Count and won a great victory … this trip out of the city was far from over.
Just as everyone left Mount Aragad, Han Dong temporarily stored the Scarlet Manor in the space of the deed.
A group of knights in brown cloaks suddenly went up the mountain. There were more than thirty of them.
Because they did not find any traces of anyone, this group of people used some special means to send information about the search of Mount Aragad back to the Holy City.
…
Han Dong did not relax at all as he headed to the manor. He was thinking about the possible dangerous situation.
"Mr Black And White is more or less able to foresee all of this. He should have also informed us about the important evidence we obtained. If there aren't any problems, he will definitely be waiting for us at the Stuart Manor.
But if Mr. Black And White doesn't come … it means that the president has sensed the danger and used some means to temporarily send Mr. Black away and not let him leave the city. "
True enough.
On the way back to Stuart Manor.
Han Dong didn't see Mr. Black And White's private carriage …
"Are we using my undead carriage to return to the city?" Senior Lunze asked.
"No … I need to be even more secretive. In consideration of unexpected situations, I've hidden a steam carriage used by the knights in the manor.
Captain Lucius, you need to pretend that you have just returned to the city after the investigation.
Captain Lucius, if you encounter any knights searching for us on the way, you will explain to them.
It means that we have an important mission and need to return to the city urgently. We will not accept the guidance of any knight team … If the situation is serious, we will bring out the name of our team leader.
I believe that the leader of the Scarlet Knights is also very concerned about your departure from the city. "
"Okay … leave it to me."
Han Dong's steam carriage in the manor was equipped with a hidden compartment.
Han Dong, Demps, and Abel hid under the compartment of the carriage.
On the surface, it was just Lucius's team completing the investigation mission and returning by carriage … As long as they could reach the interior of the Holy City, as long as a team leader came to pick them up, someone's conspiracy would be exposed.
However.
Just as Han Dong was worried, things were not that simple.
About a distance from the Holy City in the forest, they encountered a knight team that was searching outside.
As there were many members of the Thirteen Knights, there was not much contact between the different Knights, so Lucius didn't know this group of knights.
Even without Han Dong's reminder.
Lucius could also read a trace of something wrong from the eyes of this group of knights.
"We are the special search team outside the city … Please get off the carriage. After our detailed inspection, we will lead you back to the city.
At present, a group of heretical forces have appeared in the Holy City. The higher-ups have asked us to strictly investigate the investigation of the knights who returned from outside. Please cooperate. "
With a deep official tone, he showed the search warrant with the council seal in front of Lucius and his team.
Lucius also immediately showed his knight waist tag and explained his purpose for coming.
"We are under the direct orders of the Scarlet Knights, Captain Shaya, to go out of the city to investigate and collect plague blood … This matter involves high-level privacy and requires me to report directly to the Captain.
No one is allowed to touch the important blood samples in the carriage. "
Lucius's attitude was extremely strong, and he used the Captain's name as soon as he came up.
This kind of trick was usually very suitable.
But it was different now.
A team of ten knights had surrounded the carriage, obviously intending to search the carriage by force.
The real purpose of this group of knights must be to search for the 'important evidence' lost in the Scarlet Mountain Villa and erase it.
Moreover, Han Dong and his team were still hiding under the carriage, so Lucius naturally couldn't let this group of people enter the carriage to search.
They were still ten kilometers away from the Holy City … It was very risky to escape back to the Holy City under the siege of ten powerful knights with just this ordinary steam carriage.
At this moment.
Caw caw …
A large number of crowmen suddenly flew out of the forest.
The moment the vision of the ten knights was disturbed, Lucius immediately turned the steam carriage to the maximum power and rushed toward the Holy City.
"Stop them!"
The ten knights with strange expressions were about to move when they found that their movements were blocked.
They didn't know when, but several skeletal arms had grown out of the ground and grabbed the mechanical horses they propped up. Even the shadows had a certain restraining effect.
However, these were all elite knights, and they came prepared.
If they could complete this special task, they would all receive an indescribable reward, more than ten years of their salary in the Knights.
Their mounts were all carefully selected high-grade steam-modified horses in order to prevent them from escaping.
When a single horse accelerated, it was almost twice as fast as the carriage Lucius was in.
"Renze!"
"Yes!"
A strong aura of death immediately overflowed from the carriage, and wherever the carriage passed, skeletal soldiers with shields came back to life …
However.
Silver light flashed.
These temporarily resurrected skeletal soldiers were killed by the knights with a single slash.
This kind of resurrection spell couldn't buy much time, and it was only a matter of time before they were caught.
"This group of knights is the elite of the team … I'll stop them, you guys go back to the city first!"
Just as Lucius was about to jump off the carriage.
A completely different aura of death overflowed from the bottom of the carriage.
The aura of death released by Senior Renze was only used to resurrect the dead.
But the overflowing aura of death could cause trees to wither and flowers to wither.
The ten knights and their mounts that were chasing after them were severely affected as well.
