The carriage was placed on top of a massive boiler filled with black coal. The flames burned fiercely, and the pitch-black factory instantly lit up.
The rebel army hiding in the abandoned factory revealed their true forms. Half of them were humans, but there were also other Devil Clans, such as the Pig Clan, the Chicken Clan, and the Ghost Clan, who were once exiled.
"What do we do? Staying here is just waiting for death. Why don't we charge out? "
Ha Bi said.
Hearing this, Myr shook her head. The hot carriage kept the heat outside as much as possible, but it was still unbearably hot inside.
"No, if we do that, we'll fall into their trap. We can't go out."
She shook her head. She was already sweating profusely.
There were enemies everywhere outside. If they went out, they would die. If they stayed, they would die. Myr had no other choice.
She gripped her jewelry tightly and closed her eyes as if praying.
At this moment, the flames outside the window seemed to stir up her memories.
On the day the city was captured by the Demon King, the sky had also been covered in flames. She still remembered that terrifying scene. The Beastman soldiers had charged into the city on horseback and started a massacre. Miserable cries rang out continuously. Amidst the flames, there were charred corpses.
She remembered. On the day they were taken as captives or food. Myr remembered. In the middle of the road, she had seen a mother holding a dead baby being dragged away by the hair by a Beastman soldier.
It was her!
Myr held her breath. No, she could no longer breathe normally. The air had become difficult to breathe.
She had changed a lot. Not only had she become stronger, but her eyes had also become fiercer.
"Tanwa! It's you! "
She shouted loudly.
Outside the carriage, the leader of the rebel army, the strong woman, smirked. She looked mockingly at the burning brazier and said, "The City Lord actually remembers my name. How delightful. Go to hell with those despicable demons, Myr!"
Just as she finished speaking, there was a sudden rumbling sound. Everyone was startled awake. They looked in one direction and saw a figure hurriedly running over.
"Not good! We've been discovered! "
Hearing this, everyone began to complain. Some cursed that the smoke had attracted the attention of the Wussen Empire.
"Quiet! What are you panicking for? Everyone, retreat now. The mission here has been completed. Everyone did an outstanding job. The enemy will never be able to catch us. Let's go! "
This was the last thing Myr heard in the car before she lost consciousness.
…
Within Wussen City, the four clan leaders had all gathered here. This wasn't just to report on the results of their search; it was also because of two major matters. The first was the chaos that had occurred in the 'Marketplace', and the second was Hala's awakening.
The Leopard Tribe's patriarch was the last patriarch to arrive. He had been delayed for two days because of the matters in the Exchange City. During the riot, Myr met with an accident and was held hostage by the rebels. Fortunately, she was still alive. When the Leopard Clan Chief and the black-clothed troops found the hiding place of the rebels, they found the carriage on the furnace. The carriage had been melted, but the people inside were still alive. Magic had protected them.
But the high temperature had burned their skin, and they had been sent to Wussen City for treatment.
After returning to Dark Forest City, the leopardmen patriarch immediately rushed to the administration building. Burning with impatience, he climbed up the stairs and coincidentally bumped into the centaur patriarch, who was just about to leave. The two of them nodded at each other.
"How is she?"
"Her complexion is much better, but she's still very weak. I let her continue to rest, but as you can see, she summoned us."
The centaur patriarch sighed.
"She gave everything to the Wussen Empire. Ever since Lord Demon King left, she hasn't rested at all. Speaking of which, does she know about what happened in the 'Marketplace'? "
The Leopardmen patriarch uneasily asked. The centaur patriarch raised his head and looked forward. He calmly said, "Such a major matter, I'm afraid that only a deaf man who never leaves his house would not know."
Hearing this, the Leopardmen patriarch lowered his head. It seemed that he would have to face Hala's anger alone.
When he arrived at Hala's office, he saw that the number of guards in front of the door had doubled. When they saw him, they didn't say a word. They took out a magical instrument with a gem embedded in it and circled around him.
"Go in. Lord Hala has been waiting for you for a long time."
After saying this, a Rabbitman guard opened the door for him.
It was very quiet inside. The Leopardmen patriarch smelled a strong fragrance of flowers.
He entered the room and saw that Hala was wearing a loose dress, sitting on the bed. They had brought the bed over and even prepared a table that stretched across half of the bed.
"How is your body?"
"Much better. Lord Leopardmen, while I was unconscious, you seemed to have done a lot of big things. Why didn't you report to me?"
Hala put down the document in her hands and raised her head to look at him.
The Leopardmen patriarch hurriedly lowered his head.
"I know that I messed up, and I'm willing to accept the punishment! But I definitely won't allow those who stabbed you to get away with it. Lord Hala, do you remember who stabbed you? "
"I've already handed this matter to the leader in black, Liuliu. You don't need to worry."
"But!"
"You should have interacted with them in the 'Marketplace', right? Those rebels."
Hala said.
Hearing this, the Leopardmen patriarch raised his head again, looking at her in disbelief.
"You knew that they were in the 'Marketplace'? Why didn't you tell us? "
Hala shook her head, and asked again, "Then let me ask you, did you catch them?"
"No, we almost caught them. We found one of their hiding places, the dwarven factory. But we were a little late, and they disappeared without a trace."
Thinking of this, the Leopardmen patriarch could not help but clench his fists. Myr was also burned half to death by them.
"I heard that you suspected Myr of having something to do with the rebels."
"I can't help but suspect so. Lord, you also know that they are hiding in the 'Marketplace', and Myr is the City Lord. How could she not know about this? I have enough reasons to suspect her."
"What about now?"
Hala asked.
"Now … if this is her trick, then I really admire her."
"I don't intend to scold you for your conjecture, because I have similar doubts."
Hearing this, the Leopardmen patriarch's eyes lit up.
"You also suspect that there is a traitor among us!?"
He lowered his voice and looked back, afraid that the people outside the door would overhear.
"I can't help but suspect that every time I make a move, the other party seems to have predicted it and is always one step ahead of us, leaving me empty-handed."
The Leopardmen patriarch felt the same way. He nodded excitedly, and said, "This is definitely not normal. Someone must have informed them beforehand."
"This time I stayed out of it because of an accident. During the time I was in bed, I had plenty of time to think, and your actions allowed me to see things that I didn't notice before. I have a rough idea of the enemy's intentions."
"What are their intentions?"
"Their goal is to destroy our core, which is why they did not hesitate to kidnap one of our City Lords. Leopardmen patriarch, I have a secret mission for you."
Hala took out a jeweled accessory from her hand. The Leopardmen patriarch hurriedly stepped forward. Hala turned sideways and whispered in his ear, "They might have found the location of the core.
I want you to send people to secretly guard the entrance. When the time is right, we will catch them all in one fell swoop. Remember, this plan must not be leaked, not even a word to the other patriarchs. "
Hearing this, the Leopardmen patriarch nodded fiercely.
"Don't worry, I will not leak anything! I swear! "
"Good."
Hala nodded. She coughed weakly a few times, and the Leopardmen patriarch hurriedly helped her up.
"Then I will tell you the location of the core …"
