Kieran met the guardian of Izzo City again at the corner of the campsite.
Contly was still carrying that box that was as tall as a man, a meter wide, and two fists thick. A single glance at the box was enough to tell that it was extremely heavy. Her slightly robust face was stiff.
Before Kieran could open his mouth, Contly said in an anxious tone, "The Nights and the Mutants have formed an alliance. The rest of us can no longer remain neutral. Although I tried my best, the result was … useless!"
Her tone was anxious and her content was shocking.
Not only did she describe the danger, but she also explained the reason why she stood up.
More importantly, what she said should be the truth.
All Kieran had to do was send someone to investigate and everything would be clear.
Kieran was even confident that if he sent a few men to investigate, they would be able to discover the gathering of pursuers.
It seemed like Sven and Rien's disappearance and their departure had been noticed by the Mutant leader, Mozorc, and he swiftly responded to the situation.
That was why Contly appeared at the campsite.
She came with a reasonable and logical reason.
But …
It was extremely awkward for her to say such words with such a stiff face.
Anyone who saw it would be doubtful.
However, when Kieran looked at Contly, a sudden realization rose in his heart. Contly wasn't willing to be a puppet.
"So is she trying to warn me?
And using such a method to warn me … "
"She must have some items on her that could transmit her voice or even a certain angle of view!"
Following his understanding of the current dungeon world, Kieran never doubted that the Nights or the Mutants would have such items.
After all, both of them came from the dynasty that unified the world 1500 years ago.
No one knew what kind of "gift" the two of them had received.
However, Kieran knew how to play along.
"It's faster than I thought!"
Thank you for your notice, Lady Contly. I'll send someone to investigate and we'll talk in detail after that. "
Kieran frowned and pretended to sigh.
"Very well!"
Contly nodded, the stiff expression on her face vanished completely and returned to the face that Kieran remembered. She then turned around and walked towards the campfire.
Looking at Contly's back, Kieran raised his hand and Pelby ran over.
"My lord!"
The dominated bodyguard bowed respectfully.
"Take a few people and go back the way we came. Inform me immediately if anything happens!"
Kieran said.
"Yes, my lord!"
Pelby bowed again, turned around, and ran towards several familiar bodyguards.
Two minutes later, the sound of hooves could be heard.
The people in the temporary camp were all surprised by the sudden sound of hooves.
However, almost everyone saw Kieran and Pelby talking softly before Pelby left.
This kind of action let everyone know that something must have happened.
An uneasy atmosphere appeared in the camp.
Even when Herbert appeared and comforted everyone, the situation was only slightly alleviated.
"We need to speed up. The current situation is very disadvantageous to us!"
"The reaction speed of the Nights and Mutants has exceeded our expectations. We can't drag this any longer!"
The elderly scholar walked up to Kieran and copied Kieran's posture, sitting down on the ground and purposely whispering to Kieran.
"Yes, I understand!"
Kieran nodded and looked at Contly with the corner of his eyes.
Both of them were at least 10 meters apart.
He didn't know whether the item on Contly could pick up the sound from the camp.
Even if it couldn't, so what?
Everything was going according to plan.
An hour later, Pelby came back.
The bodyguards who accompanied him were panic-stricken.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they saw the scene.
"30 kilometers behind us, there is a group of 500 fully armed men chasing after us!"
Pelby reported what he saw honestly.
Gasp!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
All of them added up were no more than 30 men and now there were 500 men chasing after them. It was more than 10 times their number and it made everyone despair.
"Maybe they are not chasing after us?"
Someone said in a casual tone.
However, no one followed up.
It made the atmosphere even heavier, as if the atmosphere was filled with sorrow and despair.
Kieran glanced around and calculated that it was about time. He stood up and walked to the campfire.
His action instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Move out now! Drop everything that's in the way and let's go!
I'll buy you enough time! "
Kieran looked at the crowd and said loudly.
"That's right! 2567 and I will buy you enough time! Move out now!"
Herbert nodded and walked out of the crowd to stand beside Kieran.
"Teacher!"
"Sir Herbert!"
…
Harold, Cohen, Joanna, and their parents were at a loss as they looked at the elderly scholar.
"These bastards are after me!
"My departure is enough to ensure your safety …"
"Teacher!"
Herbert's words were interrupted by the students again.
However, before his student could say anything, the elderly scholar waved his hand and said, "Don't make such a sad face. I'm not going there to die. With 2567 around, I'll be safe even if I have to face thousands of soldiers. Also, don't say that you want to go with me. 2567 is powerful, but he can't guarantee everyone's safety."
Now … Hurry up and leave! "
At the end of his words, Herbert looked serious and his tone was unquestionable.
The crowd hesitated for a while before moving out.
However, when they looked at the two of them beside the campfire, they had complicated expressions.
It was mixed with a sense of relief, but also a sense of uneasiness in his conscience.
Even though they knew the calamity was caused by Herbert, it would be best if Herbert was the one who dealt with it.
If Kieran did not show up!
Although no one would say such a suggestion, most of them would tacitly agree with it.
However, with Kieran's appearance, things were different.
According to the relationship between them, they should be closer to Herbert. Now, the one who was closer to them had run for his life, but the one they were only familiar with was standing beside the one who was going to die.
It made their cheeks burn.
Harold and Cohen were breathing rapidly. The two young men looked at each other, and it was obvious that they were thinking of something.
However, Lander knew his son better than Kieran.
He waved his hand and a couple of bodyguards appeared around Harold, dragging Cohen into the wagon.
Joanna was also facing the same situation.
"Father, Mother, I won't be impulsive but I want to talk to teacher and 2567, I promise!"
The young girl said to her parents in a calm tone.
However, those who knew her well knew that the calmer her tone was, the more stubborn she was.
"You promise?"
The young girl's father emphasized.
"With these bodyguards around, is my promise that important?"
The young girl pointed at the two bodyguards in front of her and asked back.
The already cold family relationship became even colder with this rhetorical question.
The young girl's father frowned and waved his hand.
The bodyguards opened up a path for the young girl to walk towards Kieran.
Her steps were slow and her face was in deep thought.
The dozen meters of road took her a full seven to eight seconds.
When the young lady finally arrived in front of Kieran and Herbert, all she could see was Kieran. She threw away all the excuses she was about to say.
She said in a straightforward tone, "Don't die!"
After that, the young girl returned to the convoy that was already moving out without turning back.
Kieran and Herbert saw the convoy off.
Then, Kieran put down his backpack and carefully tidied up his equipment.
If he was acting, he should go all the way.
Since he said he would buy time for everyone, wouldn't it be too fake if he didn't stop the pursuers?
