A flatbed wagon pulled by an old horse left the campsite of the Warren garrison.
The one driving the wagon was a captain in leather armor with a longsword attached to his belt. Torstar, who tried to assassinate Mary, was knocked out and tied up on top of the wagon.
The wagon was moving along the straight road.
There weren't any obstacles along the way and soon, the wagon arrived at the rendezvous point, the middle point of the road that connected Thunder Fortress and Riverdale.
Because of the special characteristics of Thunder Fortress, the road wasn't just wide, it was very flat as well. The woods on both sides were intentionally felled and arranged.
Therefore, the captain could clearly see his surroundings from where he stood.
"I am here with the decree of his Majesty!"
The captain shouted loudly.
His voice was loud and he seemed brave but his fingers that were holding the sword were pale.
Obviously, the captain wasn't as fearless as he looked.
After his voice subsided, he waited for a while but no one answered.
The captain furrowed his brows and yelled again.
After a few more times, no one answered.
On the spacious and empty road in the middle of the night, the promised person didn't show up. All that was left was the night breeze blowing and a beast growl could be heard from time to time.
The captain gulped nervously.
He couldn't hold back his nervousness anymore and it appeared on his face.
Suddenly!
Footsteps sounded behind him.
The captain wanted to turn around out of instinct but a dagger was faster and sliced his throat open.
The nervousness on his face was still lingering and fear started to surface.
However, as his blood gushed out, his life force was rapidly fading away.
"He really sent out a nameless pawn … His lordship's decoy is really effective! I'm afraid that 2567 is still worried that he is luring the tiger away from the mountain! "
A black figure rubbed the bloody dagger on the captain's leather armor.
Another black figure behind the black figure chuckled softly.
The chuckle was casual and casual.
"The Prairies soldiers are a bunch of hungry wolves. If they have the chance, they will take a bite out of anyone!
"That 2567 might be powerful, but what can he do with a bunch of defeated soldiers?"
"No, no, it can't be said to be a defeated army. With the departure of those nobles, how could there still be a general? They're just a bunch of soldiers!"
"Let's bring Torstar back first. His Lordship is very curious about this traitor's background … There's actually another traitor in our Snake school … Hehe!"
The Snake school member who killed the captain was even more respectful of the lord they were talking about.
However, he soon sneered and looked at the unconscious Torstar with murderous intent.
No one likes betrayal.
Especially those who had been betrayed before.
The Snake School member who spoke first heard his companion's words. Without any hesitation, he tried to grab Torstar, but his palm went through Torstar's body.
Illusion?!
The two Snake school students were stunned for a moment before they reacted.
But the 'fallen' soldiers grew even faster.
Without a sound, the illusion enveloped the two of them.
A moment ago, the two of them had been violently resisting, but in the next moment, they could only stare blankly.
"My lord!"
Bloody Mary, who had removed her disguise, bowed respectfully when she saw Kieran walk out from the shadows.
"Bring them back to camp and hand them over to Fanner!"
Kieran ordered.
"Yes!"
With the [Fantos Manuscript] around, Bloody Mary didn't resist at all.
Kieran nodded silently when he saw Bloody Mary drive the carriage away.
"A powerful helper for 250 Points every 10 minutes … What a bargain!"
Kieran commented.
Bloody Mary didn't just have the ability to change her appearance, she also had powerful illusions. Against enemies with weak Spirit and Intuition, it was extremely useful.
Likewise, for Kieran who was used to working alone, Bloody Mary was like Fire Raven, a rare helper.
Just like that moment, Kieran, who was connected to Fire Raven through telepathy, saw Louver's predicament.
"So she's finally out of hiding?
She purposely revealed Torstar's identity to the Snake school and made them provoke me. Not only did she attract my attention, but she also attracted the Snake school's attention. Then, she cleared the obstacles in the shortest time possible … Bloody Mary's secrets are really attractive! "
Kieran muttered to himself.
Then, he quickly disappeared into the darkness at the side.
He had to hurry up.
A new system notification popped up.
[Sub Mission Unlocked: Save Louver]
[Save Louver: Although you have warned him, the unexpected third party has caught the royal wizard off guard. He is in a critical situation and needs your help! Be careful, if you fail, it will affect your reputation and authority in the Warren garrison!]
…
"Damn it!"
Louver covered the bleeding wound on his left shoulder and recalled the scene just now with lingering fear.
The moment he opened the door, he was attacked by a sword. If he hadn't reacted fast enough, his throat would have been pierced and he would have become a dead body.
However, the situation wasn't any better.
With his injured shoulder, it was hard for him to cast his spells and counterattack.
In fact, even if he was in perfect condition, it would be hard for him to do so under the relentless pursuit.
The power of a wizard was built on top of his spells.
If he couldn't cast his spells, everything would turn to nothing.
Huuu!
Louver took a deep breath and started running again.
The royal wizard knew if he didn't want to die, he had to run.
He had to at least reach a place with the city guards, only then would he have a slim chance of survival.
However, Louver quickly halted his steps.
He heard footsteps in front of him as well.
It wasn't just one person.
There were at least five of them.
Messy and hurried.
Without further ado, Louver bent his back and hid in the shadows formed by the moonlight. His right hand flicked out some powder to cover the bloody stench.
As for the blood on the floor?
Louver didn't have time to cover it up.
He could only hope that no one would notice him since it was dark.
A moment later, a man wearing a scarlet red robe and a scarlet scarf appeared in Rock's field of vision.
The man was in bad shape.
A short crossbow arrow was stabbed into his back and the red robe around the wound was stained black.
The slightly pungent smell made Louver, who was hiding, frown.
Poison!
A lethal poison!
The royal wizard was curious about what happened to the man who was also being chased but his own condition forced him to keep quiet.
He didn't have any extra thoughts, all he wanted was to stay alive!
Huuhaa! Huuhaa!
The poison spread throughout his body, draining Celty's stamina rapidly.
He could even feel the coldness in his body.
Celty knew he had to hurry up, otherwise, even if he could shake off the pursuers, it would be hard for him to survive.
When the thought came into his mind, Celty couldn't help but speed up.
However, the moment he sped up, he immediately slowed down.
Or more precisely, Celty had completely stopped moving.
This was because a man with a long sword had appeared in front of him.
Celty's pursuers stopped as well.
They were looking at Celty and the sword wielder back and forth.
So did the sword wielder.
