The cypress ent's tremendous strength caused the ground to tremble again.
With the thick branch as the center, the ground spread out like a spider web, and a thick layer of dust flew up, covering the entire street.
Herbert widened his eyes, trying to get a better look at Kieran's condition.
However, the elderly scholar's Intuition was only at a common man's level, all he could see was a layer of gray dust.
“2567？”
“2567？”
Herbert tried to confirm whether Kieran was safe or not with his voice.
"Facing Desa's attack, no matter who it is, they will be crushed to pieces!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind the elderly scholar.
His words were filled with certainty and mockery.
He was sure of his side's strength.
He was mocking Kieran's side for overestimating themselves.
"No one can be sure of the result until they see it with their own eyes!"
Herbert turned around and said in an unusually firm tone to the wagoners behind him. The wagoners were covered in mantles and covered their faces.
"Inferior people are always so full of themselves!"
One of the wagoners laughed coldly and casually raised his powerful palm, trying to grab Herbert.
They knew what their mission was.
They wanted to capture Herbert, not argue with him.
Such a mission was too easy for them.
Everything unfolded as the two Mutants expected.
They easily caught Herbert.
As a scholar, Herbert's knowledge reserves were beyond a common man's reach.
But what about a fight?
Although Herbert was much healthier and more energetic than his peers, a common young man could easily take him down.
Let alone two Mutants that were far stronger than a common man.
Therefore, it was a piece of cake for the two Mutants to capture Herbert.
Strong ropes were fastened to Herbert's hands. One of the coachmen opened the door of the carriage, and Herbert at once saw his steward, Pierre, and his students.
However, the four of them were in bad shape.
Not only were their bodies covered in wounds, but they were also unconscious.
"Pierre! Harold … "
"Run!"
Herbert shouted the names of the four, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by the coachman beside him. A force that Herbert could not resist appeared on his body, and the old scholar staggered as he climbed onto the edge of the carriage.
The wooden door frame slammed heavily into Herbert's unguarded lower abdomen.
The pain made Herbert unable to get up.
Although Herbert tried his best to prop his body up with his hands, it was still useless. His stomach cramped up, and every time he got up, he would fall back down powerlessly.
Laughter appeared.
Seeing Herbert in such a sorry state, the two Xenogeneics laughed at him.
One of the Mutants picked up Herbert's leg and was about to shove him into the carriage.
The other Xenogeneic was ready to start the carriage.
Everything was just as they imagined, wasn't it?
However …
They didn't expect what would happen next.
The broad, dark red edge of the sword stirred up the muddy dust and swept out with an unstoppable force. It was as if an evil dragon had soared into the sky from the dirty water.
Puff!
The two Xenogeneics didn't even have time to react before they were slashed in half.
Just like how the two Xenogeneics could easily capture a scholar like Herbert, Kieran could also deal with them in the same way.
It was even easier than that.
Kieran quickly walked out with [Arrogant Word] in his hand and pulled Herbert up.
"How are you?"
Kieran asked.
"I'm fine!
We have a bigger problem now! "
Herbert smiled bitterly and pointed at the unconscious men in the two carriages.
Kieran frowned.
In fact, he didn't think there would be anyone in the carriages.
When Kieran saw the tightly sealed carriages, the first thought that came to his mind was that there was no one inside and everything was just a ruse.
However, only now did he realize that this was another measure that the other party had set up.
A precautionary measure to prevent accidents.
The unconscious Pierre and the others would be the shackles that would drag Kieran and Herbert down from this place.
The people who had been hiding in the area had been prepared for this moment.
Sou Sou Sou!
A volley of arrows rained down on the two carriages.
Kieran grabbed Herbert and hid in the carriage. The horses that were pulling the carriages couldn't dodge the arrows, neighing loudly as they fell into their own puddles of blood.
Herbert's face turned sour when he heard the last neighs of the horses.
The elderly scholar knew their last hope of escaping was gone.
The carriages without horses were like two coffins at this moment, firmly binding them to the ground.
"2567, you …"
"Stay here!"
Herbert wanted to say something but Kieran stopped him with a wave of his hand.
Kieran knew what Herbert wanted to tell him.
Kieran wanted him to leave on his own.
However, with the existence of the main mission, how could he leave?
More so, there was a new sub mission.
[Sub Mission Unlocked: Escape]
[Escape: The Xenogeneics' trap has placed you in a dangerous situation. You need to escape!]
[Note: The more people you save, the higher the rating]
...
The moment his words subsided, Kieran pushed the door open and walked down the carriage before Herbert could say anything.
Outside the carriage, the dust had already settled down.
The Xenogeneics that were hiding in the shadows and houses came out one after another, surrounding the two carriages.
The giant treant turned around clumsily. On its thick branches were broken vines that didn't belong to it.
However, it didn't stop it from loving the vines.
Therefore, when it saw Kieran, the person who destroyed its beloved vines, the treant roared again.
Roar!
The roar from the tree hole was as loud as thunder.
The treant looked like it had entered a berserk state.
It dashed towards Kieran without a care.
Dong, Dong, Dong!
Each step it took caused the ground to tremble.
Each step it took was deafening to the ears.
Given the treant's size, it only took two steps for it to reach the carriages. It raised its branches that were as big as the mast of a sailboat, ready to smash it down again.
However, right at that moment, a voice came from behind.
"Desa!
Stop! "
The voice was cold and emotionless.
It was like a bucket of cold water was poured over the treant's heart, calming it down right away.
The cypress treant twisted its clumsy body and opened up a path. The other Xenogeneics even knelt down on one knee in reverence.
A voice filled with a chilling aura slowly came from the end of the street.
When it walked over, the path under its feet was covered with a layer of frost as thick as a finger.
The sparkling and translucent frost formed a line, like a trail of frost.
The temperature plummeted.
The wind turned into a sharp winter wind.
The figure that appeared was like the Winter God patrolling his territory, its majesty inviolable.
Anyone who dared to offend it would be punished by the harsh winter.
For example …
Kieran who stood without kneeling.
