Tap tap tap tap—uniform footsteps echoed through the cold streets as an army clad in black armor and wearing black masks marched down the main road.
"Aina, you don't need to follow . Didn't Her Majesty give you other tasks?" The man in ornate armor looked sowhat helplessly at the girl following closely behind him.
As a fellow Heavenly King, he naturally knew Aina's brain wasn't very functional. Her following him was definitely because Her Majesty had given orders.
But hadn't Her Majesty issued new orders a few days ago? Aina had been called to Her Majesty's side then and hadn't returned for several days. Lance thought he had finally regained his personal freedom.
But today, Aina actually ca back with Leticia's written order.
The order said for Lance to lead his troops to attack a small manor in the suburbs at midnight, and in this command Leticia had specifically emphasized that absolutely no situation like last ti could occur.
If it did, heh heh.
Lance could tell at a glance this was probably Leticia's last chance for him. If he did this well, he could keep his position as Heavenly King. If not, he'd probably beco a dismissed Heavenly King.
Though he wouldn't die, his circumstances afterward definitely wouldn't be good.
So this ti he was truly very serious.
"My task is to supervise you." Aina followed behind Lance, replying quietly.
She already knew Leticia's plan and had so expectations about what would happen next.
It would definitely be that terrifying Miss Bai pinning Lance to the ground with one hand.
Aina's significance was to shout after the fish took the bait, "Everyone attack those people together!"
To prevent both sides from getting red-eyed and letting those villains succeed.
"Does Her Majesty distrust so much?"
"If you hadn't made mistakes a few days ago, Her Majesty would definitely trust you." Aina said proudly, "Of course, Her Majesty definitely trusts more."
Yes, who wouldn't trust a fool loyal to themselves? Lance thought.
Leticia would only distrust Aina's brain, but as for Aina the person, Leticia trusted her quite a bit.
"Can Miss Aina, who enjoys Her Majesty's trust, tell who the enemies we're about to face are?" Lance continued asking.
Leticia's written order only said to raid the manor at midnight and capture everyone in the manor. If anyone resisted, kill them without rcy.
This order was sowhat strange. Previously when Leticia gave orders, they were always to kill without rcy. Now she actually planned to capture alive—could it be Her Majesty had changed her nature and planned to be a bodhisattva?
"Don't know, but judging by Her Majesty's and Her Highness's expressions then, the enemy might not be simple." Out of collegial consideration, Aina reminded Lance to prevent this Heavenly King from being defeated in one move by the water-releasing Miss Bai due to carelessness, losing face for the demon race.
Aina's words made Lance sowhat panicked. Enemies that even Her Majesty found troubleso? This made him a bit scared.
"Sir, we've reached the target vicinity. Should we launch the raid?" A black-armored soldier ran to Lance's side, reporting quietly.
Hearing this, Lance looked up and saw a manor shrouded in night had appeared before them.
Perhaps because it was already deep night and the people in the house had gone to sleep, all lights in the manor were extinguished, giving quite an eerie feeling.
Lance couldn't help but shiver, but Leticia's orders were here. Even if he was afraid, he had to steel himself and charge forward.
"Mm, rest in place for five minutes, prepare for battle. After five minutes, listen for my command to launch a raid on the manor!"
"Yes!"
......
"Why is this Heavenly King dawdling? No wonder there are rumors the Demon King is sowhat dissatisfied with him." Crouching in a pit not far away, the short-haired woman observed the distant movent with binoculars.
After seeing this black army arrive, she thought fighting would start imdiately. But this Heavenly King Lance actually stopped and had his troops begin resting.
If the people in the manor discovered sothing wrong and fled directly now, wouldn't this Heavenly King be an idiot?
"He's probably afraid." Mo Zili's teacher gripped the divine artifact tightly, eyes fixed on the distant manor.
The god's voice echoed in her ears, telling her the one who could break the seal was in the manor.
"Hah, should we give the people in the manor a little warning so they won't be caught completely off guard?" Mo Zili's teacher proposed.
The short-haired woman thought about it and nodded in agreent.
What they wanted was muddy water. If the people in the manor were really wiped out in one surprise attack, where would they have a chance to fish in troubled waters?
Only when both sides fought intensely and gaps appeared in Mo Zili's protection would their opportunity be greatest.
"I'll make so noise to let the people in that manor be sowhat prepared." The short-haired woman took out her magic wand and began chanting quietly.
After about ten seconds, she waved her magic wand and threw a bright glowing orb toward the dark manor.
The orb was extrely fast. By the ti Lance noticed sothing wrong, it had already struck hard into the manor.
Boom!
A loud sound broke the midnight silence.
This magic had no killing power whatsoever—its only effect was creating loud noise and bright light.
With such a commotion, even idiots in the manor would know sothing was wrong. The mont the magic disappeared, a seven-colored magic barrier unfolded, protecting the manor.
At the sa ti, lights ca on in the house in the manor—the people living there had been awakened.
"Attack! Attack imdiately!" Lance hurriedly gave orders. If they hesitated now, the targets would escape.
The black-armored warriors heard the Heavenly King's command and imdiately jumped up from the ground, beginning frenzied attacks on the magic barrier.
How could this small barrier withstand such ravaging? After holding for a few seconds, it shattered under the attacks of these hundreds of n.
"Charge!" The black-armored warriors waved their swords and rushed into the manor.
Upon entering the manor, they felt an extrely terrifying aura. Though tonight had no stars or moon, at this mont they seed to see a ray of starlight.
"You bastards who disturb people's sleep and co here to cause trouble—who gave you the courage?" In increasingly brilliant starlight, a girl's figure gradually beca clear.
The dark clouds covering the sky disappeared at this mont, as if a pair of large hands had wiped across the sky, making the stars fill the heavens.
That girl stepped on starlight, walking step by step toward the demon warriors. Her pace was slow, yet gave people a feeling of being completely unstoppable.
"You cannot defeat . Send your leader." The girl glanced at these warriors and spoke in a contemptuous tone.
Hearing this, the demon warriors imdiately felt insulted. Yes, the person before them was indeed very strong, but no matter what, they were the Heavenly King's direct guard unit.
Watching the demon soldiers charging toward her, Bai Ling raised her hand and lightly waved downward.
A group of black-clothed guards erged from shadows around the courtyard, firmly entangling the soldiers Lance had brought.
After fighting started, Lance's people felt the other side didn't seem to want to kill them—they seed to only want to hold them back.
The enemy's intentions definitely couldn't be allowed to succeed, but though Lance's troops exerted all their strength wanting a quick battle, they found the opponents were so strong that even giving their all couldn't break through these enemies' obstruction.
These guards were Leticia's direct guard unit—their strength was naturally superior to Lance's troops.
The battle situation here beca deadlocked, while the leaders of both sides had also begun fighting.
However, compared to the heated battle here, the fight between leaders seed sowhat one-sided.
Terrifying sword qi carved deep furrows in the ground, forcing Lance to play a bullet hell ga with rolling and crawling.
How dare he receive such terrifying sword qi?
The opponent's strength was definitely superior to his own. Relying on himself alone, there was definitely no way to defeat this enemy.
"Aina, stop watching the show!" Lance shouted loudly at Aina, who was watching the spectacle.
Aina, whose na was called, blinked, then looked at Bai Ling, wanting to seek the opinion of this good friend of Her Majesty.
Bai Ling nodded with a very small motion. "Co at together—save ti."
She had already restrained her power considerably, but this Heavenly King Lance was still being beaten into fleeing with his head in his hands. If Aina didn't co help, Lance would probably lose quite miserably.
"How dare you look down on ! Then let you see a Heavenly King's true power!" With Bai Ling's permission, Aina wasn't polite either, imdiately grabbing her weapon and charging at Bai Ling.
With two Heavenly Kings working together, they finally barely managed to fight Bai Ling to a standstill in terms of situation.
Seeing this situation, the two won still hiding imdiately began their action.
Mo Zili's teacher took the lead, wrapping herself in black mist before charging straight toward Mo Zili's location.
At such close distance, the god could already point out Mo Zili's specific location for the woman.
In the darkness, the woman completely wrapped in black mist encountered no obstacles at all, easily infiltrating the completely undefended house.
Under the god's guidance, the woman kicked open a tightly closed door and saw her long-unseen student, Mo Zili.
"Teacher!" Mo Zili's eyes lit up as if seeing a savior. "Teacher, please save quickly."
The woman's gaze fell on Mo Zili's ankle, where that snow-white foot was now locked with a pitch-black shackle, restricting Mo Zili's range of movent to this room.
"Hah, good thing you're alright." The woman also breathed a sigh of relief. It seed Mo Zili didn't know the truth of the matter. "I'll rescue you imdiately."
She raised her short staff, and a black light flashed, but the chain didn't move at all.
"What?!" The woman's eyes widened. She had used the god's power, but why was there no effect?
In her surprise, she didn't even notice the frost blade attacking from behind in ti.
Hiss—the black mist acted as if it had self-awareness, blocking behind the woman and deflecting this fatal attack.
"Tsk, really troubleso." The sneak attack having failed, the magic caster slowly walked in from outside the door. Light orbs circling around her illuminated the room and let the woman see the girl's appearance clearly.
The girl looked only about ten years old, but unlike her youthful appearance, the aura around her was extrely solid. Undoubtedly, she was an extrely formidable figure.
She wore a black dress, her hair tied in a single ponytail convenient for action. It seed she had anticipated tonight's events.
"Who are you?" The woman stared intently at this girl, asking.
"Who I am doesn't matter." The black-haired girl held a black stick, her face bearing a mocking smile. "Hand over the divine artifact, and I'll spare your life."
The woman gripped her short staff tightly. This girl before her gave her a very ominous feeling.
What made her feel even more ominous was that, accompanied by chaotic footsteps, those who had just been fighting outside had actually all run to outside this room, firmly surrounding it.
This was a trap, she realized.
"You..." The woman slowly backed away, but soon she had no more space to retreat.
"Teacher, please leave quickly. Don't worry about ." Mo Zili spoke urgently.
"Even if I leave, I have to take you with ." The woman grabbed Mo Zili's wrist. She had a way to escape, but after using it, she wouldn't be able to fight for the next several months.
However, being able to take Mo Zili from this encirclent was already a huge profit.
She activated the divine power in her body, wanting to leave with Mo Zili, but just as the divine power was half-activated, an extrely destructive magic power rushed into her body.
"Pah!" Spitting out black blood, the woman looked in disbelief at Mo Zili, who was tightly gripping her. She had actually been attacked by her own disciple.
"How is it, Teacher? Are you satisfied with the gift I prepared?" Mo Zili showed a brilliant smile. "Now you have no escape."
"You're not Mo Zili!" the woman growled.
Her Mo Zili could never do such a thing.
"You only just noticed? I thought my acting was already terrible." 'Mo Zili' giggled. Of course she wasn't Mo Zili—where would that powerless girl be as capable as her? "I'm her sister. You can call Mo Ziling."
Yes, Leticia hadn't arranged for Mo Zili to be in this room. She didn't dare gamble on whether this woman had thods to take Mo Zili away from thousands of troops.
So she had her little pet play Mo Zili. This way, even if Mo Ziling was taken away, through the contract between herself and Mo Ziling, she could quickly find the little pet's location.
And then, track down this woman.
