"Those people are looking for you. They arrested Uncle Walid...the others, and your sister!"
Cole's expression suddenly changed, and he saw several people wearing long gray cloaks with swords hanging from their waists running out of the narrow and dark alley. Those people pushed away the piles of people in the alley.
The debris rushed towards the young man, but they suddenly realized that there was someone else on the bridge. When they looked up, they were slightly startled.
The moment those people raised their heads, Cole saw clearly the black and white shirt exposed under the opponent's cloak - the Gray Knight! Cole almost subconsciously took a step back as if struck by lightning.
But those people had already recognized him through the image on the crystal, and they all gave up on the young man in front of them, stretched out their hands to the hilt of the sword, and turned in this direction.
How did the Gray Knight come to the door?
No, you have to run away quickly!
Cole's thoughts were like lightning, but facing these knights who rushed towards him without saying a word, it was like stepping on cotton under his feet, and he couldn't move even half a step. When the Gray Knights intervened in the management of this city
For a long time, people have been accustomed to the other party representing the law of the port during this war period. But facing the law enforcers of this city, where can he escape to?
Seeing him dazed on the bridge, the young man seemed to have a flash of inspiration. He suddenly gritted his teeth and pushed away the gray knights, ran towards the alley entrance, and threw himself at the iron gate.
The Gray Knights' attention was no longer on him. Before they could react, they saw the young man running to the door, pulling it open with all his strength. Then he went around to the other side of the door and closed the iron with a bang.
He opened the door, pulled the latch, pressed his entire body weight on the door, turned around, and shouted to Cole:
"Brother Cole, run quickly——!"
The gray knight became angry, rushed to the door, grabbed the young man's collar, and said angrily: "Kid, get out of the way."
But the young man was short, and he nimbly avoided the opponent's grasp by lowering his head. The gray knight put his hand through the iron gate again, trying to open the latch, but the young man pressed his hand firmly on that spot.
When Cole saw this scene, he woke up as if from a dream. He was like a drowning man being fished out of the water. His whole body was already soaked, but his strength suddenly returned to him. He didn't have time to think about anything, so he subconsciously turned around and ran away.
When the Gray Knights saw him turning around, their expressions darkened, and they all retracted their hands to draw out their swords. When the young man saw their actions, his mind went blank, but he even forgot to let go, and saw the sword flashing with cold light.
He stabbed himself in the chest.
The stinging pain spread all of a sudden, as if something had bitten him on his chest. The young man's eyes widened and he looked at this scene in disbelief, feeling that his strength was constantly draining from his body.
When Cole heard someone drawing a sword behind him, he realized something was wrong. He turned around suddenly and saw the Gray Knight raising his sword and stabbing the boy through him with one sword.
At that moment, he just felt like the world was spinning, and his heart seemed to have been punched hard by something. He didn't even know that he shouted those words:
"Merse——!"
But the young man could no longer respond to him. The gray knight pulled out his long sword with a cold face, brought up a fountain of blood, and then pierced the young man's abdomen with one sword, and then the third sword.
The young man covered in blood fell down softly, his eyes still filled with disbelief, but little bits of white light gradually rose from his body, flying into the night sky like countless fireflies.
Cole saw the Gray Knight pushing away the boy's body, grabbing the latch of the iron gate with his hand, and was about to open the door and rush out. There was an indescribable feeling of suffocation in his heart, but his mind became clearer.
He suddenly thought of the letter that was placed safely on his chest.
Those companions of the Chosen One might be able to save him or others.
As soon as he thought of this, he burst out with an endless desire to survive. All the hesitation and fear in his heart were swept away. Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran away in that direction without hesitation.
…
There seemed to be silence in the darkness, with the faint sound of dripping water coming from the distance.
Bai Ye and others sat boredly on the cold stone wall, looking at the underground river not far away. It was located under the inner city wall. This spillway was actually not too long, and there was no water in the quiet darkness.
Something worth noting.
However, the darkness itself can make people uneasy, and they will sometimes look in the other direction suspiciously, as if something will appear there.
After a long time, someone finally said:
"You said..."
Bai Ye looked in that direction.
There, a person was looking down at his collar - they were all former members of Tapolis, and after the dissolution of the Oak Knights, most people were still used to wearing the same attire of the past - but the other person
What he was looking at at this moment was not his own shirt, but the faint silver emblem pinned to his collar.
He stretched out his hand to cover the emblem, and then hesitantly asked the others: "What should we... do? Should we... inform those people?"
"What do you think?" Another person said, his voice echoing hollowly in the dark underground: "This is a recruitment order..., didn't you listen to what they said, if...if the descendants of Flor really have a relationship with
If the Dark Believers cooperate, then this time... I'm afraid things will change..."
"But that's just one side of their story."
"Are those Hongye people trustworthy?"
"But Miss Saya is on the same side as us."
"...Also," someone said: "The format of the email is military, and if you look at the community, it is too abnormal... Something must have happened behind this..."
"To be honest, I regret it," another person said: "... We should have known better that we should not have been so obsessed with getting involved in this, and the things related to the dark believers, might have ended up killing us all.
Go in...and we agreed to the descendants of Flor. If we regret it, they may cause trouble for us in the future..."
Everyone couldn't help but fell silent.
The only sound left in the darkness was the sound of dripping water.
Others couldn't help but look at Bai Ye, who also lowered his head and looked at his Chosen Emblem, and lightly touched the emblem with his hand.
"Bai Ye, what do you think?"
"What can I say?" Bai Ye sighed.
He instinctively felt that there was something fishy about the recruitment order, but now the long-distance communications in the entire northern territory had been interrupted, and they had no way to confirm this with the Stargate Port.
As for confirming with the descendants of Flor, what if what they say is true? Cultists have always been classified as terrorist activities by Stargate Port, and those who are involved in these things may have to go to military courts.
.
They didn't come to this world to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
"Everyone, please act according to your heart," Bai Ye replied: "He is at least right about one thing. We are the chosen ones, and it is our obligation to fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to us by the "Star Gate Declaration". There is nothing to say."
Everyone nodded.
But the silence represents the deeper uneasiness in everyone's heart. When the people of Flor's descendants come to them, does it mean that the other party has already expected that these people will come to this place?
The identity of the person who contacted them was also a former high-level member of the guild. How many people had been bribed by the descendants of Flor?
Those people don't know about the conscription order. Will the other party betray them? Is it really safe for them to hide in this place?
They were supposed to tell Fang Plover and his party these things, but something went wrong and no one could tell them. How should they say it? Say that they had betrayed Tapolis before and turned to the descendants of Flor?
It would be strange if Saya and her group didn't fall out with them on the spot.
Everyone couldn't help but fell silent and looked at each other in the darkness.
But just at this glance, Bai Ye seemed to see something he shouldn't have seen - it was a bunch of purple fire, suspended in the darkness, like a quietly burning will-o'-the-wisp, and like a ghost fire.
A group of purple flower buds blooming quietly.
He suddenly realized what it was, and it bounced up from the ground like an electric shock. Gula Port has been deeply troubled by these things these days, and the barrier that is about to be opened is also to prevent these things.
"Shadow Man!"
Others saw the flames and screamed in disbelief.
But why are they here!?
Bai Ye instinctively reached out to hold his sword, but the flames had spread out in all directions, reflecting in the depths of his eyes, like the birth of a new star. Before he could react, he heard a shrill scream.
That scream brought him back to reality from the world of thinking.
The two companions in front of him had their mouths wide open, and blazing flames were sprayed out from their eyes, nostrils, and mouths. The next moment, they were kneeling on the ground in pain, twisted into a ball, and their bodies turned into a
fire man.
"mey! little deer!"
Bai Ye heard the sound of scattered footsteps behind him. He knew the horror of the shadow people. No one could tell the level of these monsters because few people who had seen them survived.
In fact, he subconsciously wanted to escape from this place, but the idea had just occurred, and the people running behind him also let out several screams.
Bai Ye turned his head in that direction, and saw only a few human-shaped flames falling to the ground, which were quickly burned into black ashes. It seemed that in an instant, he was the only one left.
The white night suddenly stopped.
And the purple fire floating in the darkness also stopped.
It was not one shadow person, but three. They were divided into three, and the outline of a person gradually appeared in the dancing flames. His face could not be seen clearly, and it floated quietly in front of him.
Bai Ye felt a gaze burning with blazing flames fall on him. One of the shadow figures walked toward him quietly, then stretched out his hand to press on his face.
The purple flames reflected in the depths of his eyes. Bai Ye subconsciously wanted to retreat, but it was as if a strange magic controlled his actions, preventing him from taking a step back.
Not only was he unable to retreat, but he seemed to be gradually falling deeper into the beating flames.
At that moment, Bai Ye felt at ease. He suddenly realized that these shadow figures were not originally in this place. This was a trap, but why did they know that they were in this place?
At the last moment before he lost consciousness, a thought flashed through Bai Ye's heart:
What on earth did those damn bastards of the descendants of Flor do?
…
In the corridor on the right, a huge door is opening.
When the Gray Knights saw the people pushing through the door, they all looked in surprise: "You...?"
What opened the door was a group of Aidanlian monks, wearing gray robes with the Crow Feather emblem hanging on their rosaries. The Gray Knights were very vigilant - the monks should not be quiet in the front hall at this time.
Pray?
They almost immediately put their hands on the swords at their waists, as if they would draw their swords and fight if the other party's answer was even slightly wrong.
But the monks lowered their eyes and said nothing. After a brief moment of astonishment, the gray knight's expression suddenly changed, "No, it's an illusion!" The leading gray knight reacted quickly, flashing the sword in his hand, and struck with a sword.
A crossbow bolt passed through the shadows of the monks and shot in this direction.
It's just that the sword blade passed through the crossbow arrow, but it couldn't feel the force it should have. The crossbow arrow turned into a light smoke and disappeared without a trace.
The Gray Knight realized something was wrong and opened his mouth to scream, but a crossbow bolt passed through his throat silently, slit his trachea, and he could only make a "gurgling" sound and fell on his back.
The gray knights unsheathed their swords one after another, and the monks guarding that direction immediately stood up, turned around and fled into the hall on the right, as if they wanted to warn those who stayed there.
But a shadow swept across from a direction that no one noticed. In an instant, it passed under the feet of the gray knights and extended to the direction where the monks fled. The shadow suddenly retreated and turned into a graceful figure.
The girl is none other than Miss Nightingale.
Alyssa looked in that direction, a calm light flashing in her eyes, raised her hand, and threw the dagger in her hand.
The dark blade flashed through the corridor with electric light and passed through the chests of two or three monks. The latter fell to the ground like pieces of dead wood.
This sudden attack shocked all the monks, but before they had time to react, Alyssa jumped to the other side, and at the same time moved her hand, and the dagger refracted back with electric light.
In the darkness, the electric light almost formed a refracted trajectory, which happened to pass through the bodies of several Aidanlian followers in that direction, and returned to Miss Nightingale's hands with a bright electric arc.
The Gray Knights seemed to have reacted and turned around to take action, but a short figure had already slipped in from outside the door, passed through the phantom, and knocked them away.
"Borrowed it, borrowed it!"
The Papalar man yelled, and at the same time he swooped forward like a ball. Holding a square-pointed cone-shaped object in his hand, he rolled forward and came to the middle of the knights.
He suddenly let go of his hand and shouted into his communication crystal: "Tapolis little girl, hurry up!"
The texture on the square-pointed cone-shaped object suddenly lit up, and it suddenly broke away from Parker's hand and spun around, flying up to the top of a kind of gray knight's head.
Before the Gray Knights realized what had happened, a circle of faint blue ripples suddenly bounced off the square-pointed cone-shaped object. The ripples expanded in all directions, covering everyone in it.
"Magic Construct!"
The Gray Knights shouted, but a strange scene happened. Their mouths opened and closed, but they didn't make any sound.
The entire corridor on the right seemed to be in a strange situation at this moment. All people's voices disappeared, and the movements of people's hands, spells, and swords and swords all seemed to be performing a mime.
Silence.
The Gray Knight immediately realized that the square-pointed cone-shaped magic structure had done something good.
But the spell has been cast, and everyone knows that when fighting against the combat craftsmen, it is not wise to go to trouble with their constructs. The most important thing at this time should be to find their controllers.
But what surprised them was that before they had to look for it, a girl holding a control glove appeared from the phantom.
Hongye used his remaining hand to smooth the hair hanging down in front of his forehead, tilted his head and looked at these people, then pointed the control glove at each other and said something.
Although in the eyes of the Gray Knights, the girl in front of them just opened and closed her mouth without making any sound, they had actually read the rather simple spell from Hongye's mouth shape:
"Gravity trap——"
That was completely different from the 'gravity trap' used by the lurker used by Fang Plover. The Gray Knights almost felt the pressure exerted on them like the earth was shattering, causing them to almost fall to the ground.
And at that moment.
They saw a row of tall figures appearing behind the girl, with dark red light flashing between them.
…
The battle was over in a matter of moments.
Red Leaf was passing through the corpses of the gray knights scattered around, as well as the monks of Aidanlian who fell among them, and came to Fang Plover's side with light steps.
She looked ahead and asked, "Are there any more enemies?"
Fang Plover shook his head. The Gray Knights guarding the entrance were enough to prevent everyone from entering or exiting this place. There were also some monks guarding the room in front, but those people could not pose any threat to them.
What's more, they handled this battle cleanly and the other party didn't notice anything went wrong here.
However, his original plan was to subdue these people, but considering that the number of people on the Crow's Claw Temple side was obviously unrealistic, he could only settle for the next best thing.
These Gray Knights will resurrect from the altar in fifteen minutes, which means that there is only a quarter of an hour left for them.
He also looked in that direction before replying: "Go and walk through the hall. There are some guards on the way out from the corridor on the right. The clockwork fairy saw some rooms behind it. If nothing else, the target
It should be in the room there—"
"How should we subdue him?" Hongye couldn't help but ask: "Will he tell us the truth? Are Aidanlian's followers all fanatics?"
Fang Yu pondered for a moment and nodded. Since he chose to come to this place, he naturally had a plan in mind.
Although it may not be 100%, he is at least 70% sure that the other party will reveal some answers they want to know.
