"I swear to serve the one behind me!"
The words came out of General White's mouth without any hesitation.
Compared to its own life, a temporary allegiance was nothing to General White.
However, to General White's surprise, even though it uttered the words, the sharp knife on its neck didn't go away. Instead, it sliced its neck even faster.
"That's why I said you are brainless.
How could the lord not know what you are thinking when he asked you to serve him?
"You'll only die faster with this kind of lies!"
The minotaur and horseman laughed coldly at the same time.
Binding of Truth!
General White instantly reacted to the situation.
It had come into contact with the kings of Ring City more than once, so it knew how scary the Binding of Truth was.
Once it was signed, its life and death would be beyond its control.
Even the kings of Ring City wouldn't simply use it.
It wasn't because of pity.
It was because the price of using it was very high.
It was impossible for one to sign a contract with any of them.
When one signed a contract with one of them, one had to consider the reactions of the people around him. In order to prevent a chain reaction caused by disloyal people, signing all of them was the best choice.
It was something that the kings couldn't bear.
Only the fake king on the ground had to resort to this method because he couldn't move.
After gaining many loyal subordinates, he lost the right to be a real king.
General White didn't want to be bound by the Binding of Truth.
But …
Did it have a choice?
Half of its head was sliced off.
If it was chopped off, even with its strange body, it would die.
After all, it couldn't really be formless.
About a second passed.
General White heaved a sigh of disappointment.
"I am willing to serve the one behind me!"
This time, the oath was swiftly captured by [Seodi Stone].
Within a breath's time, the oath came into effect.
However, Kieran didn't use [Dominate] on it.
Unlike the cunning Du, General White obviously didn't have enough brains, so there was no need to waste it.
Feeling the oath of alliance in its heart, General White stood there as if it had lost its life. However, after a while, it realized that it still had its own thoughts and was in control of its own activities. It was delighted.
Not a puppet?
General White looked at the minotaur and horseman.
"Of course not!"
"We're not those who think they're smart and think they're smart."
The minotaur and horseman swore.
There was no doubt that in Kieran's opinion, these two freaks were similar to the white freak. They did not have enough brains and did not need to be wasted.
"Sir, what do you need me to do?"
The white monster did not lose its mind and became a puppet. It still had its own consciousness. With the existence of the covenant, it naturally turned around and asked Kieran.
"I need to understand everything inside."
Kieran said.
"You mean Ring City?"
"Alright."
"I will tell you everything."
General White did not hide anything and began to tell him everything that it knew.
Compared to the minotaur and horseman who had never been to Ring City, General White knew a lot more about the city.
Mou District, the outermost ring. In fact, the nameless ring was also known as the Mou District. It was the biggest district in Ring City and gathered many monsters under the management of the kings of City A.
District D, the secondary outer ring, was a gathering place for monsters acknowledged by the kings. The kings had set up a mystical formation in the district, allowing them to obtain more negative energy.
District C, the secondary outer ring, was the military camp. The soldiers of the kings were stationed here, so the negative energy was denser. At the junction of the secondary outer ring, there was a market that opened every 15 days. The monsters in the secondary outer ring could pay a certain price to enter the market.
District B, the inner ring, was where the generals and commanders under the kings lived.
District A, the core of Ring City, was where the kings lived.
"Pay a certain price when the market opens?"
Kieran asked about the topic he was interested in.
"Yes.
Have you heard of Pass Money? "
General White asked.
"Pass Money?!
Is it this kind? "
Kieran was stunned for a moment before he took out a silver coin.
"Yes!"
General White nodded repeatedly.
Kieran squinted his eyes.
'Pass Money' was used as a currency?
Then, what is the relationship between this place and the outside world?
Was this place once part of the outside world?
Or did the Pass Money from the outside world come from here? '
Many thoughts popped up in his mind, but it didn't stop Kieran from asking questions.
"Who are the kings?"
Kieran asked.
"In the beginning, there were four kings. Later, there were three."
They are King Liao, King Reow, and King Qi.
The three of them are similar to the missing King Ren, the founders of Ring City.
Rumor has it that they were there when Ring City was born. "
General White showed respect when it mentioned the kings of Ring City.
"Is that King Ren dead?"
Kieran asked.
"I don't know.
I think he went missing.
When King Ren went missing, I had just become the gatekeeper of Mou City Sector, so I don't know much but in my memory, Ring City was in chaos, wars broke out almost every day.
But the monsters in the area said it was because of King Ren's disappearance that the enemies had the chance to take advantage of the situation. "
General White said.
When it mentioned the enemies, General White's face looked even weirder.
The minotaur beside it snorted.
"What enemies?
Isn't it a civil war?
King Ren's disappearance is the work of the other three kings!
Those three bastards! "
The minotaur grumbled.
General White's words infuriated General White.
General White glared at the minotaur. The minotaur was not willing to show weakness and stared back at General White.
However, both of them didn't make a move.
They all knew very well who was in charge here.
As for the horseman?
No expression could be seen on the horseman's face, but it stood firmly on the minotaur's side. If General White dared to make a move, it would help the minotaur beat General White up.
Kieran wasn't interested in the argument between his men.
Whether it was civil war or the outside world, he wasn't interested.
So Kieran waved his hand and asked.
"Where's that scarlet red skull?
What is it? "
"It's an ally of the kings, it joined Ring City after King Ren went missing. It lives in Sector A. Most of the time, it roams around Ring City and rarely goes back.
"However, it just brought a person to meet the kings."
General White then described the man's face.
It even mentioned the stench on the man.
"That man must have come from Reek River.
Rumor has it that Reek River has a passage that connects to the outside world.
I never thought it would be true. "
The minotaur exclaimed.
"That man is really a brave warrior!"
The horseman was also in awe.
The minotaur and General White nodded in agreement since they knew what Reek River was.
Reek River was scarier than a fermented cesspool.
Someone swam into Ring City from there … Although they didn't know the distance between Ring City and the outside world, it wasn't something that could be done in a short period of time.
The three of them were filled with admiration when they thought about it.
If they were in Victor's shoes, they would rather die than go.
After all, if they really swam into Reek River, they would most likely drown.
Rather than drown in the cesspool, they might as well just die.
"He brought someone with him?"
Kieran went into deep thought for a while.
He didn't ask further. Based on General White's description, he was sure that the person was Victor.
He didn't know how Victor faked his death.
Kieran knew what Victor wanted to do in Ring City: incite a war between the humans and the monsters in the outside world.
Everything was as Kieran expected.
Then …
Was there really a bait in Ring City that could incite a war?
"Where is the treasure vault of Ring City?"
Kieran asked without a second thought.
"It's in King City!
I don't know where exactly. "
General White replied.
"You don't need to know.
"Someone will naturally lead the way for us."
Kieran then walked towards the suspension bridge.
The three monsters were confused but they followed right away.
Paladia, who always treated himself as invisible and tried his best to not draw attention to himself, really wanted to leave like Pangnard and the others.
However, he knew he was different from them.
With the Alliance Treaty, he and Kieran were in the same boat.
No one could escape.
All he could do was walk down the dark path.
But …
Could he not dig his own grave like this?
Go straight to Victor's treasure vault in King City!
Even if he wanted to die, he shouldn't do it this way!
Treasures were good, but he had to be alive to get them!
His life was gone!
Why would he want treasures?
Despair filled Paladia's heart, so he followed Kieran.
Lucan, who was walking beside Paladia, didn't care at all.
He was more than willing to follow.
The reason he came to King City was to locate the treasure in the Northern Forest. He was sure the treasure was in Ring City and Kieran saved his life before.
Now, he could retrieve the treasure in the Northern Forest and help Kieran repay the debt of saving his life. From Lucan's point of view, it was killing two birds with one stone.
When they arrived at the suspension bridge, General White picked up the stick with vengeful spirits.
It didn't open the door though, instead, it brought Kieran to the side.
"What are you doing?"
The minotaur glared at General White.
"His lordship wants to go to the treasure vault, he has to go through D, C, E, and A. Other than the many guards, once he enters the inner city, the generals and commanders will have even more soldiers under their command. Do you think his lordship can bring you all in?"
General White coldly grunted.
"You have a secret passage that leads straight to the vault?"
The minotaur was stunned.
"Not a secret passage!
It's an emergency passage! "
General White emphasized. It then pushed the wall aside and revealed a passage that was wide enough for a person to pass through.
The passage was simple and crude, it didn't look like it was built beforehand.
Instead, it looked like it was dug out by a single person.
Right away, the minotaur, horseman, and Lucan looked at General White with a strange gaze.
"I've been standing here for a hundred years, can't I find some hobbies for myself?
What's wrong with digging a hole? "
General White straightened its neck and asked.
"Nothing is wrong.
I just didn't expect us to be monsters along the way. "
The minotaur chuckled evilly.
The minotaur's favorite thing to do in the Outer Ring was to rob people along the way.
Snatching food and treasures from the hands of other weak freaks was the greatest enjoyment in its life.
Therefore, the minotaur had a bad reputation among the monsters.
General White, of course, knew about the bad reputation.
"I hate unskilled monsters like you the most."
General White showed disdain and said.
It was natural that the minotaur retorted again.
Paladia didn't care about the argument that filled his ears, he looked at Kieran with a pitiful gaze.
When this hole appeared, he knew that his mission had appeared again.
But …
He really didn't want to accept this kind of mission.
Aside from the fact that General White dug out a tunnel, whether it was safe or not, the moment he entered King City, everything would be unsafe.
He didn't want to walk into the three kings' lair.
Kieran directly ignored Paladia's request.
"Scout the path."
Kieran said calmly.
"Yes, my lord."
Paladia walked into the tunnel with a sad face.
Before he entered the tunnel, he turned around to General White and said, "You better pray that the tunnel you dug is safe, otherwise I will haunt you even if I become a ghost!"
"After the tunnel was dug into the city, I would go in and out once or twice a year and it was always safe.
How could anything happen to me?
I've marked all the exits on the wall.
Remember, when you open the entrance, listen carefully for any movements outside. "
General White was very confident in the tunnel he dug out.
Paladia asked for the meaning of the markings before he went into the tunnel.
…
Ring City, King City District.
Victor was standing in front of a room that was obviously a guest room, looking at Scarlet with a dubious look.
"I don't have a sense of smell, so I'm fine.
"However, those three kings are different."
"If you don't want to be thrown out before you even meet the three kings, I suggest you clean yourself up here."
Scarlet said.
"Since when did the kings of Ring City have so many unnecessary rules?"
Victor frowned.
"Since Ring City was built.
"Ever since they were revered as kings."
"Then, everything quietly changed."
Scarlet then walked out of the room and closed the door.
Victor curled his lips into a cold smile when the door was shut.
'What a cheap way to cover up.'
Victor thought in his heart as he walked into the bathroom.
When the water splashed, Scarlet had arrived at the core of King City, the royal palace.
Three figures sat on three tall thrones made of metal. Light and shadows intertwined, making it impossible to see the faces of the three kings clearly. However, it made their bodies look even taller.
A mysterious aura shrouded them from time to time.
Scarlet sensed the vast and mysterious aura, praising in its heart again.
It wasn't the first time it saw the three kings.
Every time it saw them, it would exclaim how powerful they were.
Likewise, it would remind itself what it should do.
After a bow, Scarlet uttered each and every word clearly.
"Your Majesties.
"Victor is here."
