LRAB Chapter 233 Wanted in the City
Chapter 233 Wanted in the City
Sheng Saier woke up faster than they expected. Su Tang and Nolan returned to the villa and had just informed the rest of the people when they heard the city's alert bells.
After receiving the news, Liss quickly put on his clothes and went out. The hurried noise startled Hill, who was sitting awake in the room. When he came out of the room, he saw Liss hurried out.
"Master? What happened?"
Lis frowned and said, "I heard that the people from Guangming City angered the city lord, and the higher-ups issued a killing order."
Upon hearing the news, Hill's heart tightened. As he had guessed, Su Tang was the female. What on earth did she do?
This is too courageous!
"Shall I go with you? I have never been on a mission since I joined the SS, and you always treat me with favors, which will inevitably lead to rumors."
This was a good suggestion, and Lis nodded in agreement without thinking.
"I wanted to wait until you were more mature before letting you participate in these things, but since you want to, you should familiarize yourself with these rules as soon as possible."
"Yes." Hill went back to his room and changed into the black uniform of the Royal Guard. It was cold in the rainy season, and the draft at night made him feel like frost and snow falling on his skin.
The bells of the highest church were still ringing, twelve times in a row, which was the highest defense order. The roaring bells disturbed the sleeping residents in the city. Lights came on, men and women screamed, and the children's sobs became louder and louder.
The situation was worse than they had imagined. Su Tang originally wanted to directly use the power of darkness and travel out of the city through the shadows, but the reality was that she couldn't do it.
If she was alone, she could have easily left, but she was only half-baked.
Unless it was a critical moment, she didn't want to use up all three chances. She still had to go to Dawn City next, so she had to leave at least two chances. As long as she could get close to the city wall, she could use the power of darkness to leave.
The sound of chaotic footsteps trampling on the puddle made a splashing sound. Judging from the footsteps, it was the well-trained orc soldiers.
"Don't miss any street, patrol soldiers report immediately!"
The high-altitude feathered orcs transformed into their original forms and searched every area of the city without leaving any trace. Chris held Su Tang in his arms and tightened her black cloak to protect her from the rain.
Su Tang clutched the collar of his shirt on her chest, her body shaking uncontrollably. She was too nervous. The city was full of enemies, and the feathered orcs circling and crying above her head gave her an invisible oppression.
Only the warmth in front of her constantly gave her courage.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Chris kissed the top of her head and hugged her tighter.
Erlan and the others went to explore the way. The two of them hid their bodies under the trash can. Su Tang buried her head in his chest and breathed in the violet fragrance emanating from his body. With this fragrance covering up the stench nearby, it didn't seem so bad.
"If..." Chris swallowed and said with difficulty, "I will lead them away. I know you will find a way to get out. I am still Cronin's brother in name only. They dare not do anything to me."
"No!" Su Tang shook her head and refused firmly. The nervousness and worry in her eyes were not concealed at all. Chris was surprised to see this and curled his lips slightly, "I said if, not that something will definitely happen."
"There is no if. If you get caught, then all the work Dallas has done for you will be wasted, right?"
Crolin collapsed and knelt down to let them leave. Dallas dragged his broken body to lead away the pursuers for them, just to give Chris a way to survive.
If he was willing to hide his identity, he would be able to live a stable life in the Holy City or the Dawn City. This was also Dallas' last request to her.
Although Cedric told her not to care what Dallas said, just put the chess pieces where they should be, and if Chris was useful, then just use him with ease, because he liked her anyway.
He even sneered, as if mocking or feeling helpless. Males can sacrifice their lives for their partners, and it is their honor, but this is not what Su Tang wants.
If her road to the top is paved with the flesh and blood of those behind her, then she would rather stop there.
"We found the way." Erlan appeared beside them at some point. Chris narrowed his eyes. Erlan's strength was stronger than he thought. He only realized it when he was so close.
"Let's go." Chris picked up Su Tang without thinking.
The two men moved very quickly, but the orcs patrolling at high altitude were no pushovers. Their superior high-altitude vision allowed them to see everything. If it weren't for the darkness, they would have been discovered long ago.
"They are here!" an eagle called out as a warning.
Chris frowned. He had always lived under his brother's protection and had never encountered such a tense and exciting scene. Compared with him, Erlan seemed much calmer.
Living on the edge of a knife and wandering around are not just talk. Erlan's fifty years of life experience has brought him much richer gains than Chris, a phoenix living in a rich and luxurious nest.
It’s not that Chris doesn’t know anything, it’s just that the two of them are involved in completely different fields. When it comes to etiquette, cultural history, and the general distribution of power of various ethnic groups, Chris is still very good.
"Go northeast, I'll lead them away."
As Erlan finished speaking, the Feiyun Shuttle under the black cloak suddenly flew out, and the scale-sized blade cut off the head of the Feathered Orc above.
The birdsong around me was so sharp and piercing that it gave me a headache.
Su Tang had tinnitus and a headache due to the shock. Chris freed up a hand to cover her ears. It was unknown what method he used, but the shrill sound didn't seem so unpleasant anymore.
Halfway through the journey, they found that the road was blocked. It seemed that someone had anticipated their plan of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. While Erlan was attacking the Air Feather Tribe, a large group of people began to rush towards the street leading to the city gate.
"They're here!"
"Damn it!" Chris cursed softly, and a silver whip appeared in his palm, which easily took care of a team of patrolling soldiers.
The sound of fighting attracted more footsteps, accompanied by the sound of rain that was getting heavier, just like the sound of a butcher spraying strong liquor during a lingchi execution.
Nolan and Erlan both have the ability to fly, but they dare not use it. The city walls are too high, and they cannot fly out with their people in a short time. Moreover, once exposed in the air, they will become targets and will be crippled if not killed.
Every city has a Beast King Archer. They are the generals defending the city and can take the enemy's head from thousands of miles away. They are extremely terrifying.
The beast king in the city has not attacked yet. After all, there is no point in using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. If they can't leave now, the longer they delay, the more dangerous they will be.
"If you want to live, follow me."
The man with short light blond hair and handsome face was Hill.
How come he is here?
Su Tang shook her head. She couldn't believe that the enemy who once wanted to massacre her entire tribe was Chris. He whipped her and wanted to kill him.
Hill reacted quickly and managed to dodge it, but the Beast King's silver whip still left blood marks on his body.
He shouted hastily: "I just want an explanation, that's all! I have never had any ill will towards you! Neither in the past nor now!"
