The last light shone in the sky, and night slowly fell.
However, the noise in the city that never sleeps has not subsided because of the slowly dimming sky, and has even become more intense.
A crystal lamp lit up, and the bright but not dazzling light illuminated a large area around it.
Then, two lights, three lights, and in the blink of an eye, the entire city that never sleeps was enveloped in this gorgeous light, and the city also entered the peak of prosperity.
Where there is light there is shadow, where there is prosperity there is also desolation. In the shadow of a street, a thin black shadow is walking slowly.
Maybe the shadow is too thin, maybe the places where the shadow walks are dark and hidden places, and a few gangsters who can be seen anywhere are staring at them. The thin figure is the best target for them to rob.
, dark and hidden, is the best place for them to rob.
As if he sensed the following of these gangsters, the figure in black robe quickened his steps and swayed evasively into a narrow and remote alley.
However, how could the thin body of the man in black robe escape from the clutches of the gangster who was extremely familiar with the terrain? After a few quick steps, several gangsters had already blocked the man in black robe in a small alley.
bingo.
Several daggers were swinging gently in their hands, and the faces of the gangsters showed as fierce a look as possible. One of the leaders laughed strangely: "Jiejie, do you want to hand over the things yourself, or do you want to
I’ll take it upon myself to remove two bones for you!”
Do you want to dismantle the bones... Two rays of purple light suddenly shot out from the face of the man in black robe whose face could not be seen clearly, and he slowly raised his two white hands: "Do you want to dismantle my bones? Then come and dismantle them!"
Looking at the two stretched out hands, the gangster's eyes suddenly froze. These hands were so smooth and white, and even sparkled with crystal light...
The jade-white hand flicked gently, and a few points of purple light flew out, sinking silently into the foreheads of the gangsters, immediately completely calming their fears that had not yet burst out.
"You are the only ones who dare to tear apart my bones!"
The man in black robe snorted disdainfully. This voice and tone were naturally that of Skeleton Kaka.
"Don't waste time, we have to catch up with the next target!" A voice suddenly came from Kaka's shadow and rushed into the depths of its soul.
"Yes, Master!" Kaka's eyes showed deep obedience, he swayed slightly and suddenly disappeared into the alley.
It had been several days since he arrived in the Nightless City, but because he was unfamiliar with the place, Nilac did not act rashly.
Turning into a shadow, Nirak walked around in a circle outside Wiki's original residence and the Grand Duke Hall's Mansion. Wiki was no longer in his original residence, but there were several powerful auras faintly present in the Grand Duke Hall's Mansion.
Instead of rushing in directly, in the Imperial Capital of the Business Alliance, it would be extremely irrational to directly attack Grand Duke Hall's Mansion, and he might even be surrounded and suppressed by everyone in the city, so Nilac chose to take a roundabout action.
Contact Ripple, who is in the city that never sleeps, but Nilac did not go to see Grand Duke Marcos. Meeting him at this time may arouse others' suspicion. However, if he does not meet with Grand Duke Marcos, he will not meet with the person who can fully represent him.
Ripples can also seal deals.
After some negotiations, Nilak used the information of the Hall family in the Immortal Empire and the God of War Empire in exchange for the secret support of the Marcos family. Of course, this was also due to the fact that the Marcos family was already at odds with the Hall family.
Archduke Marcos will use force to prevent Archduke Hall from calling on the power of the Business Alliance, and Nilak will also ensure that he does not cause too much damage to the City that Never Nights.
Now that a cooperation agreement has been reached, Nilak's actions have finally begun.
With information on all important figures in the Hall family, Nilak can still easily find a large number of targets even without the help of Wiki.
Having just eliminated the head of a consortium, Nilak rushed towards the next target, Grand Duke Hall's youngest son, Danny, who was studying in a magic academy.
Obviously, the Archduke has been alert to the counterattack by the Hand of Dis. The defense force around Danny is unprecedentedly strong. Not only does he have two guards with level 7 strength, but there is also a soldier with level 8 strength.
Judging from the symbol on the soldier's armor, he should be a high-ranking member of the Colossus Legion.
Holding back their breaths, Kaka and Nilac lurked silently in a hidden place, watching indifferently as Danny walked into the carriage, and then hurriedly walked towards the Grand Duke's Palace under the dense protection of the guards.
The carriage drove farther and farther and soon left the school area.
Nilac's heart moved, Kaka immediately received the order, his figure flew up, and with just a shake, he had already caught up with the carriage.
With a strange laugh, Kaka suddenly had several purple mist balls pouring out of his hand. Each fog ball roared and roared. With a wave of his hand, the purple mist ball immediately enveloped everyone in the convoy.
How could a few people at level 7 or 8 be able to resist the attack of a strong man from the holy realm? As soon as they met, everyone fell into a fatal crisis, and they could not control Kaka's next actions at all.
There is half a blockage.
The black robe flashed and crashed directly into the carriage. In Danny's frightened eyes, the skull's mouth cracked, and a delicate bone hand slowly reached over and squeezed gently...
In another flash, Kaka disappeared again. The shadow that had been staying in the distance also disappeared.
……………
Grand Duke's Palace.
From the first assassinated consortium leader,
son Danny, and then...
In less than a day, the number of important members of the Hall family suddenly dropped by thirty-two. Especially among these thirty-two people, there were several extremely important people to the family.
The Hand of Dis is coming... Grand Duke Hall was angry, but the reason in his heart was clearer. Orders were issued from his hands one after another. At the same time, all the important personnel of the Hall family also
Everyone was ordered not to go out.
The bad news continues to come, the thirty-third, the thirty-fourth... Even if you are huddled at home, you still can't escape Nilac's crazy hunting.
"Sir, the city guards have discovered the whereabouts of the Phantom Thieves, and Commander Bazak has led all the elites to pursue them."
"Sir, there has been a major change in the Demonized Forest. The Thunder Legion and the Flame Legion were urgently transferred there."
"grown ups……"
Not long after the messages were sent out, they were sent back intact. Every force that had the ability to help the Hall family had some problems, big or small.
After many years of political career, Archduke Hall naturally knew that someone was plotting against him. He could even guess who it was... Only the guy who had been protecting Nilac's sister had such energy...
…
But as you might have guessed, Grand Duke Hall had nothing to do with that person. Although the Hall family was already considered to be powerful, they were still just powerful, but he had always been the real power.
The anger in his heart became more and more intense, and Archduke Hall slowly walked towards the secret room.
"Everyone, the Hands of Dis have officially started to take action. According to the descriptions of those who survived the assassination, the person responsible for this action is their Ninth Elder. However, although his identity is known, the target of his actions is...
But they are so scattered that we don't even have a clear protection target at all, so we can only wait here in vain... Do you have any way to force him out, or do you have accurate information to know
His exact location."
There were already many more people in the secret room. There were about ten people, all of whom were capable of causing some trouble to the strong men in the Holy Realm. However, after hearing the Grand Duke’s words, they were all silent and asked them to take action to fight back.
Okay, let them find the whereabouts of a Sanctuary assassin. Wouldn’t this make things difficult for them...
Slowly, Vicky's voice rang out: "Your Majesty the Duke, my people have discovered some of the whereabouts of Lord Shadow, but I always feel that this situation is a bit strange..."
There was a slight pause in his voice, and everyone looked over. Wiki frowned deeply and hesitated: "Those who survived the scene were undoubtedly left alive by Master Shadow, and he left a large number of people alive."
The purpose of living alive is undoubtedly to disturb the hearts of the people here... However, the whereabouts of the Shadow Elder have always been elusive. Even the organization in its heyday could not find his whereabouts. At this time, my men and horses were able to find him.
There are some traces, which makes me wonder whether he deliberately exposed his whereabouts to us, and whether his purpose of exposing his whereabouts was to lure us all out..."
Grand Duke Hall's eyes narrowed: "Where is his whereabouts now?"
"The easternmost part of the capital, he is stagnant there at this time and has no further action!"
Grand Duke Hall snorted: "He really wants to lure us all out. In the city, even if there are people who support him, he doesn't dare to attack us at will! But we have to go out. He can stop in the east of the city, that is, to
Send a signal to us, if we don’t go out, he will continue to attack other personnel..."
As the Archduke spoke, Lady Catherine nodded slightly towards the three big figures sitting side by side. One of them was the Fire Sanctuary mage Leander. Then, a slight sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "This ninth
The elder is quite arrogant, but if he knew that we have three holy domain masters gathered here, he would still be arrogant!"
A swordsman sitting next to Leandre nodded slowly: "Since he took the initiative to invite us over, we will go over together! I haven't fought against the strong men of the Sanctuary for many years, but I want to give this Shadow Elder a try to see if he is really like you.
That’s so powerful!”
Leandre and another old man dressed as a mercenary also nodded slightly. Archduke Hall saw this and said in a low voice: "In this case, early tomorrow morning, I will make it known that I will go to the grassland fifteen miles east of the city.
Go to animal hunting..."
…………
Indeed, as Grand Duke Hall said, and indeed as Wiki thought, Kaka did deliberately expose some of its whereabouts under Nilac's instructions, and its purpose of exposing its whereabouts was indeed to pull Grand Duke Hall out of the city.
come out……
However, Grand Duke Hall and the others were all wrong. What came here was not the Ninth Elder, but the skeleton Kaka who was as thin as Kaka...and the Elder Su who had been hiding in the dark...
In any case, the goals of the three parties have been achieved.
Nilak's purpose of luring Archduke Hall out was achieved.
Archduke Hall's purpose of drawing out Nilak was also achieved.
The Marcos family, as well as some other hidden forces, sat back and watched Dis's hand fight with the Hall family, and they also achieved their goal.
Everything depends on the outcome of the battle in Chengdong tomorrow...
