Chapter 65: The Secret Fire Guard

"Captain, what's going on?" asked Eli, who was the most lively, immediately standing up.

Pollock's gaze swept over everyone and said, "This is a report letter, and the letter says that a gathering point of evil god believers has been found in the Silver Star District. ”

"Cultists!"

Everyone looked awe-inspiring, and Eli quickly asked, "Where is the real or fake?"

Pollock did not answer immediately, picked up the letter and read it carefully, and said cautiously: "Whether this letter is true or not, we will have to make a trip." I'm afraid this matter is not small, and our team alone can't handle it, so you wait here first, and I'll inform the captain. ”

He took out the microphone, brought it to his lips and said, "Frida, Hargrove, you guys come here immediately, you have an important task." ”

With that, Pollock left the convening room and took the letter with him.

The other three looked at each other, and Milton said helplessly, "Looks like we're busy at night." ”

"Yes, alas......" Albena sighed, but showed no signs of resistance, and began to organize her staff and potions, preparing for battle.

Eli said as he smeared poison on his dagger, "I really don't know what that letter says to make the captain take it so seriously. ”

"The followers of Loshi like to engage in conspiracies, cooperate with each other, and often act together, and the number of people at the gathering point is at least three or more, and the captain should pay attention to it. Milton explained.

When it comes to Loshi's followers, Eli's face is not very good-looking.

As a shadow warrior, he always can't help but think of Luo Xi, the god of trickery and conspiracy, known as a fraudster, and his followers are mainly shadow warriors, so that many people mistakenly think that all shadow warriors have a tendency to believe in Luo Xi and are often suspected.

"Let's hope that letter is fake. Eli muttered under his breath.

Wren was silent, the letter was written by his own hand, and of course there would be no fakes.

In the afternoon, through Zoltan's channels, he found an illiterate street boy in the slum and paid him two silver crowns, telling him to deliver the letter to the sheriff's office in the evening.

After handing over the letter, Wren followed him for a long time to make sure that the boy did not open the letter and peek at it, nor did he give it to anyone else, and then went to the police station to be on duty.

At the scheduled time, the letter arrived at the Sheriff's Office.

The contents of the letter were written by Wren in his left hand, and they were crooked and could never be identified by handwriting.

In the letter, he simply wrote a line: "There are traces of many cult believers at 195 Chamley Street" and painted a sign of the Roch Church on the inscription.

That's enough to get Pollock's attention.

Soon after, Frida and Hargrove both rushed to the convening room, and when they heard that it was the matter of the cultists of the evil gods, their expressions became very solemn, and they silently began to prepare for the battle.

After another quarter of an hour, the head captain Davenlah appeared in the building of the demon slayer.

He was joined by another team, the fourth squad led by Beverly, which included seven transcendentals.

"Let's go. ”

Dressed in heavy armor, a white steel helmet, a large square shield and a broadsword hanging from his back, Davenrah drove out of the Sheriff's Office in two open-top trucks with a dozen transcendents.

It was the first time for Wren to ride in this kind of convertible truck, which was very similar to the Jiefang brand car in the previous life, but it was powered by steam and slower.

The roar of steam from the trucks shattered the silence of the night and headed for the Silver Star District.

No one in the car spoke, everyone was silently preparing.

Entering the Silver Star District, when approaching Chamley Street, a team of five wizards converges with the demon slayers.

Each of them rode a blue and white striped leopard, a beast that looked fierce and elegant, shoulder-tall, extremely fast, light-footed, running in line with trucks, and exhaling faint magical energy from its mouth with two huge fangs.

"Secret Fire Guard!"

A member of the demon slayer whispered.

Wren thought to himself, it turns out that this is the most powerful private armed force under the Duke of Silver Star, the Secret Fire Guard!

It is said that the Secret Fire Guard is composed entirely of wizards, and each member is an elite who has come out of the wizard's tower and is loyal to His Excellency the Duke.

He observed these five wizards with some curiosity, the leader was a middle-aged witch, with an ordinary appearance, wearing a black robe with silver trim, holding a long white staff, and the inside of his soul showed that this was a seventh-level elemental envoy!

The other four wizards are not to be underestimated, one intermediate and three beginner.

Just looking at the strength of the soul, these five wizards are far higher than the transcendents of the same level, which makes Wren secretly admire, worthy of being an elite wizard cultivated by the wizard tower!

However, Wren was also surprised that his letter caused such a big commotion.

He still underestimated the hostility of the Imperial wizards towards the followers of Roshi.

To be precise, it should be an underestimation of the hostility of the Goddess of Magic towards the deceitful Lohi, and there seems to be an irresolvable hatred between the two gods.

Soon, Chamley Street arrived.

The two cars stopped at the street entrance, everyone got out of the car, and the demon slayer team automatically divided into two teams and quickly moved forward.

Because it's not very late, there are occasional pedestrians strolling through the streets.

When they saw such a big formation, they were all taken aback, and they hurriedly flashed to the corner of the roadside, not daring to make any sound, and when the demon slaying team walked over, they immediately ran away into the distance.

Wren marched forward with his teammates and had a hunch that something was wrong.

The momentum of the demon slayer team is too big, and the Secret Fire Guard is involved, which may startle the snake.

He glanced up in the direction of the wizard tower, and the spirit and demon eyes on the tower did not scan this side, I don't know if he didn't notice the movement here, or he was warned in advance, and deliberately didn't look at this side.

Soon, a group of people approached the mansion.

Pollock and the third squad stood guard at the front door, Beverly and her squad swept back, and five wizards from the Secret Fire Guard followed behind Wren and the others, keeping their distance.

Milton and Albena also moved back slightly, with Wren, Frida and Hargrove leading the way, with Pollock in the middle.

Davenlah stayed by the side of the Secret Fire Guard, sword and shield in hand, and raised his vigilance.

This is the default rule for group battles.

Melee pros charge to the front, preventing enemies from approaching the caster.

It is also best to detach a group of melee fighters to protect the caster's side, so that the caster has no worries and maximize the power of the spell's ranged attack.

Wren held the hammer in his hand, his face looked cautious, but he sighed in his heart.

He could hear through the sound of all things, there were people in the mansion, but there were no cult believers.

Such a big formation is empty!

He didn't understand, was this a leak of news, or had those few evil god believers sensed something was wrong in advance and had slipped away?

Wren turned around and swept through everyone, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Whether it was the transcendent of the Demon Slayer Team or the wizard of the Secret Fire Guard, everyone's face was very serious, and there was no relaxation in the slightest, thinking that the battle was about to begin.

Pollock gestured to Hargrove.

Hargrove nodded his head and let out a low roar, his skin was red, his muscles expanded rapidly, and his body grew larger in just two or three seconds, like a little giant.

He took the great axe in his hand and rushed forward, kicking the door of the mansion with a kick.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the iron gate fell, and the transcendents rushed inside.

Wren and Frida rushed to the front, and the two stepped across the lawn and slammed open the door of the house.

The whole house was awakened, there were voices everywhere, and the lights came on.

A few beginner-level transcendents who were supposed to be personal guards ran out, and when they saw the appearance of the demon slaying team, their faces turned pale, and they immediately threw away the weapons in their hands, raised their hands and squatted down, without any intention of resisting.

The fourth squad, which rushed in from the garden at the back of the mansion, also appeared in the lobby.

A middle-aged man in pajamas came down from the stairs, he was also frightened, but he barely kept his composure, stood on the stairs, and scolded angrily: "Everyone, what are you doing here?"

"I'm Ebley, the owner of the Sharon Trading Company, the holder of the Imperial Order of Knighthood, can any of you tell me what's going on?"

Eebley claimed his identity, hoping to suppress these transcendents from the Demon Slayer team.

But no one answered him.

At the behest of the two captains, the demon slayer team members began to search the mansion one by one, driving everyone into the hall and concentrating.

A group of disheveled housekeepers and servants all hugged each other with frightened expressions, trembling.

Including Eblly, who was also driven to the middle of the hall.

The few hired transcendent guards, usually with their eyes above the top, felt superior to others, but at this moment they did not dare to make a sound of dissatisfaction.

Except for these people, there was no other gain, and no trace of the cultists of the evil gods was found, and the faces of the demon slaying team members were not good-looking.

Even if Wren had expected it, he was very unhappy to see that he really didn't find anything.

Davenlach, dressed in heavy armor, walked in, his eyes scanning the hall, and then asked, "Didn't you find it?"

"No, Your Excellency Captain. ”

Pollock shook his head depressedly, but he didn't completely deny it, and said: "I haven't searched it thoroughly, but based on my experience, there is likely to be something wrong here, like there was a sacrificial smell." ”

Frida next to her also nodded slightly.

As a holy swordsman, she is most sensitive to the aura of evil gods, but she can't be sure now.

Davenrah was silent for a few seconds, then took off his helmet and walked over to the group, examining Ebley and his family, as well as a large group of guards and servants, their eyes full of unkindness.

The atmosphere in the hall was very oppressive.

In the face of the power of the high-level transcendents, several people soon collapsed, but they didn't dare to cry loudly, covering their mouths and sobbing in a low voice.

"Your Excellency, Captain!"

Eblly learned of Davenlach's identity from Pollock's title, and boldly asked, "May I ask what you mean by ......?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Davenrah waved his hand and said, "Take them all back and interrogate them one by one." ”

The demon slayer team understood what Davenrah meant, and it was clear that the captain had chosen to trust his experience. When Ebley heard this, he immediately shouted: "I have the Imperial Knight Medal, I am a nobleman, you can't do this to me......"

"Harboring cultists of evil gods, no matter what title you have, is a capital offense. Davenlach was unmoved, and left the sentence and went out.

Eble's face was as gray as he was, his lips trembled, but he could not say a word.

Wren looked at him, but sighed in his heart.

Judging by the state of the soul, this person may really not know the existence of cultists, nor do they know how those people did it.

The operation at night was doomed to fail.
