It was a dark night to kill, and a windy day to set fire …
Today, the moonlight was not dark at all, and the wind was not very strong. However, now the whole city was in turmoil. Priests and believers were making trouble everywhere. It should be easy to mix in the chaotic crowd, and it was much better than the cover provided by nature.
Unfortunately, although some people saw the opportunity, they could not figure out how much time the opportunity left for them. Han Jin immediately responded. Except for the Magic Legion, all the other legions went out and extinguished the disturbance as fast as lightning. In less than half an hour, the situation in the Holy Crown City had become peaceful. What could they do in half an hour? They quietly observed the movements in the street and judged that the situation would become more and more chaotic. Then they gathered people, made a simple plan, and quietly went out. They tried to approach the destination as carefully as possible. All these took some time.
If they had arrived earlier and seen the arrows of Sunier and Gao Bin, they might have quietly retreated. If they had arrived later, the situation would have been completely stabilized, and they would not have acted rashly. The legions of the Holy Crown City were spread all over the city. As long as there was a slight mistake, they would not be able to escape.
Now, it was neither too early nor too late.
The atmosphere in the barracks was very calm. Hundreds of soldiers of the Mountain Legion were silently cleaning up the bodies of the priests and believers. Because no one lived in the barracks for the time being, the barracks looked empty. Only two or three barracks were lit.
Suddenly, a weak wave of magic vibrated, and a figure appeared abruptly under the moonlight. He knew that he had stepped into a magic detection trap, so he immediately rushed forward, rolled over, and leaned his back against the wall. He pulled out a dagger and looked around vigilantly. His black and white eyes were a little panicked, and also a little ferocious, as if he was warning the enemies that might appear. If you dare to provoke me, I will fight you to the death!
It was quiet all around, and no one noticed him. After a moment, the figure sighed, slowly straightened up, and carefully listened to the sound inside the window.
After listening for a while, he reached out his hand and gently pushed the window, but failed to open it. Then he put the dagger little by little into the gap of the window, moving it up and down.
Just then, a low voice sounded: "The window is not locked. You can open it with more strength."
The figure was stunned for a moment. He reached out and tried to push the window. This time, he used more strength than before. Sure enough, the window was pushed open a crack.
The man's eyes lit up with joy. He carefully peeked through the crack in the window and smelled a strong scent of alcohol. He hurriedly turned his head and saw an unfamiliar bearded man standing behind him. He was shocked and immediately placed his dagger in front of his chest in a defensive posture.
"Is there a thief as stupid as you?" The bearded man chuckled and said, "You're here to scout, right? Tsk tsk … You're not even qualified to scout! "
The figure's right hand suddenly stretched out, and the sharp dagger drew a streak of light in the air, stabbing straight at Gao Bin's throat. However, this was only a feint to confuse Gao Bin. At the same time, his figure drifted back diagonally.
Gao Bin did not move an inch, allowing the man to retreat into the distance. He leisurely knocked on the window frame with his wine pot, "Little Joseph, come, show your face."
The window was pulled open. Little Joseph poked half of his head out and looked out curiously.
The figure had already retreated more than 20 meters away. Then, his body became blurry. At this moment, a curtain of light flashed in front of him. A long bloody wound appeared in the middle of his throat. The muscles on both sides of the wound quickly opened up like a smiling mouth. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
Chipango's figure appeared out of thin air. He was too lazy to look at the thief. He casually wiped the dagger on his body and put it away. Then, he flipped his hand and threw out a magic scroll. The scroll turned into a dazzling light and shot straight into the sky. The figure swayed and fell to the ground softly.
If Little Joseph was a piece of fresh meat, then the people hiding in the dark were hungry wolves. They immediately started to move and rushed over here.
Sunier's figure slowly rose from the roof. Behind her were a few mages wearing magic robes and the same legion badge. Rays of detection magic bloomed in the surroundings. Several thieves appeared one after another in the light, but they did not flinch and continued to charge forward.
First, they sent someone to scout, and now it's the bait's time. They're quite cautious, but … Gao Bin frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the distance, two mages slowly rose into the air. In a violent wave of magic, several meteorites whizzed down, wrapped in thick flames, and smashed directly toward Sunier.
For a real powerhouse, meteorites were almost no threat. It took too long from the time the spell was cast to the time the meteorites hit the target. If it was a duel between two people, Lightning Mages would have the sharpest attacks and the hardest to parry. This was also why Lightning Mages, as a branch of magic, were so outstanding that they completely overshadowed the main branch of magic. However, when it came to large-scale battles, Fire Mages were unquestionably the mainstay of the team. The key was their ability to deal continuous damage. Lightning Mages would disappear after releasing their Lightning Magic, but a group of Fire Mages was enough to turn the ground within a radius of dozens of miles into hell.
Below her was the house where Qi Li and the others lived. Sunier could not hide. She drew her longbow, leaned back, and pointed the arrow into the sky. If Han Jin were here, he would definitely think of an extremely familiar TV series.
The meteorites summoned by magic were much faster than ordinary meteorites. It would take at most seven or eight seconds to fall from a height of a few hundred meters. However, these few seconds were enough for Sunier to cast her archery skills.
The meteorites exploded one after another, turning into a rain of rocks that covered dozens of meters in radius. The mages behind Sunier hurriedly cast a magic barrier to block the falling rocks.
Gao Bin took off his longbow and lazily aimed at the mages in the distance. Seeing this, the two mages immediately cast a magic barrier, and then they began chanting again. Their spiritual locks were also transferred to Gao Bin.
Gao Bin's lips curled into a smile. He gently loosened his fingers, and the arrow flashed, flying hundreds of meters in an instant and hitting the magic shield of one of the mages. The shield was flashing with light, but it shattered like a piece of tofu. Then, the arrow shot into the mage's throat.
The thin arrow contained a tremendous amount of power, and it actually shattered the mage's neck. The head rolled and rolled away from the body, and the horror on the mage's face was completely frozen. The other mage saw that his companion was killed in an instant. His face turned pale with fright, and he involuntarily stopped chanting.
Gao Bin had already shot the second arrow. The mage saw a black light rapidly approaching from the corner of his eye. He wanted to dodge, but his reaction was as slow as a snail compared to the black light. Before he could do anything, the black light had already shattered his magic shield and penetrated his chest.
Blood spurted out, and a large hole the size of a small barrel appeared in the magician's chest, almost splitting his body in two. Then, the two differently shaped corpses fell from the sky one after another, heavily smashing into the ground.
The Purple Hell Flowers that bloomed everywhere didn't have the ability to gather information from all over the place because that wasn't their job. They also didn't know that the enemies in front of them were the two strongest elves who had unlocked the Mark of God. If they could have predicted this beforehand, this conflict wouldn't have happened at all.
Countless burning rocks hit the magic barrier, creating ripples like the surface of a lake in a rainstorm. The impact of these rocks was very weak, and they couldn't damage the barrier at all.
When the rain of rocks stopped, Chipango slowly walked out of the barrier and waved at the four rogues who were rushing over.
The four rogues couldn't determine the range and duration of the Mana Detection Aura, but they knew that Chipango was also a rogue. Seeing Chipango standing there openly, they subconsciously thought that invisibility wouldn't work. One of them rushed toward Gao Bin, while the other three surrounded Chipango.
A streak of light suddenly lit up the night sky. One of the thieves was caught off guard and was pierced in the neck by that streak of light. Then, that streak of light stabbed towards another thief. That thief realized that his comrade was under attack and hurriedly twisted his body. The dagger that was supposed to stab him in the back instead left a long bloody gash on his waist. He trembled in pain and howled, stabbing back at his opponent with a backhand.
Gibran dodged to the side and spun the dagger in his hand. Then, the dagger went from bottom to top and pierced deeply into the thief's jaw. The thief's mouth was so wide that one could clearly see the cold light flashing in the depths of his throat.
The last two rogues were horrified. They immediately moved closer together and cast invisibility spells. However, just as their bodies became blurry, a green light fell between them. Countless vines grew wildly from the ground and wrapped around their bodies in the blink of an eye. Gibran walked over and easily slit the throat of one of the rogues. Just as he was about to end the life of the other, the rogue's body jerked back violently. The force of the impact caused the vines to snap. A fist-sized hole appeared on the rogue's forehead, and his eyes dimmed. He was clearly not going to live.
All of the night raiders were killed in less than twenty seconds. Sunier once again drew her longbow. Gao Bin frowned and was about to say something when he saw Sunier slowly put down the longbow again. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
In the next moment, Sunier jumped down from the roof and landed beside Gao Bin.
"It's better to leave a few alive. Otherwise, the clues will be lost," Gao Bin said softly.
"I know." Sunier's tone was a little dissatisfied. "Brother, don't think of me as such a fool!"
"Hehe …" Gao Bin laughed. He pondered for a moment and looked up at the night sky. He saw the God of War flying towards them at high speed. "Go and tell Raphael that I'll take care of this. He doesn't need to worry about it."
"Brother …" Sunier looked like she wanted to say something, but she didn't. She was the leader of the elves. If she personally went after a few assassins, it would be a little degrading. However, she also knew that Gao Bin was doing this for her own good.
"Don't relax here," Gao Bin said softly. "Otherwise, if they have other people, it'll be bad."
"I'll stay here," Sunier replied.

When Hallister stepped onto the God of War, the sky was already bright. Everyone was gathered on the deck and eating breakfast. The atmosphere was very lively. Morrisons' voice was the loudest. He was bragging about how powerful he was last night. Little did he know that his nightmare was about to come. When Yalina and Guevara absorbed all the electric elements in the magic laboratory, it would be the moment he stepped into hell.
"Hallister, come and sit here," Han Jin said.
Hallister let out a long sigh and slowly walked toward Han Jin. Stepping onto the God of War made him feel like he had lived two lives. He had overestimated the madness of the Holy See and underestimated his own power. He had also misjudged the relationship between Han Jin and Han Jin. He thought that Han Jin wouldn't be able to save him in time, but today, he had stepped onto the God of War unscathed.
If he had Guevara's foresight, he wouldn't have had such a difficult time. Han Jin never liked to trade chess with anyone. It was said that compromise was an art. However, Han Jin was just a fake artist. If it was just a game, he could respect the art. However, if it really crossed his bottom line, he would trample the so-called art under his feet at any time.
Hallister walked in front of Han Jin and bowed seriously. Then, he slowly sat down in front of Han Jin.
"How do you feel?" Han Jin smiled.
"I feel …" Hallister sighed. "Very good, my lord. I thought I would never see you again."
"Do you have so little confidence in me?" Han Jin raised an eyebrow.
"No, my lord …" Hallister realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly tried to explain.
Han Jin smiled and waved his hand. "Rest for a few days, then we'll talk. Hmm … just rest here."
"My lord, I've rested enough." Hallister smiled bitterly. "It's too boring to be idle. Let me go back to the Night of Bliss!"
"I heard from Schumann that there's nothing much to do at the Night of Bliss. You just have to walk around and look at the accounts."
"What does he know?" Hallister complained. "If I just want to maintain the status quo, of course it's easy, but I want to do better and better business!"
"No matter how good the Night of Bliss' business is, it has its limits." Han Jin thought for a moment. "Hallister, I'll leave the matters there to you. However, there's another matter that you have to take care of. Rest for a while, I'll introduce you to someone at noon."
"Who?"
"Hallman."
The corner of Hallister's mouth twitched. He stuttered, "Which … Hallman?"
"The president of the Isolated Cliff City Chamber of Commerce, Hallman."
"What?" Hallister couldn't control his emotions anymore. He waved his hands frantically. "No, no, my lord, you should let someone else do it!"
"Why are you panicking? Chipango told me that you tried to seduce his granddaughter, but didn't you fail? "Han Jin said calmly.
"My lord, you don't know, but they almost beat me to death." Hallister's face was pale. "And they passed on Hallman's words. If I dare to appear again …"
"So what? Do you think you're still the Hallister you used to be? "Han Jin smiled.
"Ah …" Hallister was stunned. That's right, he was no longer the helpless wastrel who could only eat soft planks.
"You're such a coward." Han Jin smiled. "If it were me, I would feel the thrill of revenge. And I would use my eyes to tell Hallman that I'm here, and what can you do to me?!"
"But … I was the one …" Hallister muttered to himself.
"You were the one in the wrong?"
"Yes." Hallister lowered his head, embarrassed.
"Good, as long as you know you were in the wrong. It proves that you haven't forgotten the basics of being a man." Han Jin said, "But, don't get into too many romantic relationships in the future. You don't want to die in a woman's bed for no reason."
"My lord, ever since I came to the Night of Bliss, I haven't gone out to cause trouble!" Hallister said. He was very weak and had no source of income in Isolated Cliff City. He could only rely on his "beauty" to earn money. If he had any other choice, he wouldn't have done it. So, after Chipango found him, he immediately joined Han Jin.
"Let's not talk about this. The prisoners' food is definitely not good." Han Jin smiled. "Eat, eat more."
"Yes, my lord." Hallister calmed himself down and slowly picked up his knife and fork.
Suddenly, a hand heavily patted Hallister's shoulder. Sassoux said with a smile, "Hallister, long time no see. I heard you were locked up? How are you? Are you okay? "
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Hallister smiled. He was very grateful for Sassoux's concern.
Sassoux nodded and walked away. Hallister had just picked up his knife and fork when another hand suddenly patted his shoulder. This hand was much stronger than Sassoux's. Hallister's face almost fell into his plate. He turned around and saw Léger.
"Hallister, long time no see. I heard you were locked up? How are you? Are you okay? "Léger asked with concern.
Hallister looked around and saw Morrisons looking at him with ill intentions. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The three of them were starting to torture him again! He ignored Léger and said to Morrisons, "Morrisons, come on, hurry up. I'm really hungry!"
Morrisons laughed dryly, as if he didn't hear Hallister. What was the point of going over now?
"Looks like you guys are even more bored than Hallister!" Han Jin shook his head. "Sassoux, I'll give you something to do."
"What is it?"
"You will be my messenger and visit Depew City. Go see Lord Mali."
"Me? Messenger?? See Lord Mali??? "Sassoux's eyes widened." Can I do it? "
"Why not?"
"Yes, Sassoux can do it!" Léger couldn't help but be overjoyed. "Raphael, Sassoux has always been smart. I'm sure he'll be able to complete the mission perfectly!"
Sassoux was a little surprised, but he soon understood what Léger meant. He glanced at Lorraine in the distance and couldn't help but feel vile. "Raphael, I have no experience at all. You have to find someone to help me, right?"
"Help you?"
"Yes." Sassoux nodded vigorously. "I need an assistant."
"Who do you want to help you?"
"Léger!!" Sassoux's finger almost poked Léger's nose.
"I'm not going!" Léger was shocked.
"You have to go!" Sassoux yelled back.
"How about … I go with you?" Morrisons said weakly. He wanted to escape from Sylvia's evil clutches, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. His voice was full of hesitation.
"Scram, it's none of your business!" Sassoux said angrily.
"Morrisons has other things to do." Han Jin made the final decision. "Then the two of you go."
"Haha …" Sassoux's face was filled with the joy of perishing together, while Léger's face was filled with grief. Sure enough, it was okay to be proud, but one couldn't get too carried away.
