Chapter 65: The Empire Will Fall (4)

Night.

A curfew was imposed in the city, and groups of soldiers patrolled with torches, and the moles, businessmen and civilians who wanted to flee the city were all watching the soldiers' movements.

Ellie spends time with several humans, one of whom is hinted at by Yumeko that he thinks of her as his daughter. These humans have contacted a familiar soldier and will let them out for the sake of money.

They all changed into dark cloaks and protected their bodies and faces tightly.

"Are you all ready?"

As a man spoke, the dagger hidden in his waist could be faintly seen in the moonlight. All of them carried a small package with water and softer brown bread on their backs, as well as separate gold and silver coins.

The others nodded together, and the six of them ran out along the shadows of the building, eager to melt themselves into the darkness, and then flew out of the city in the next second.

After crossing three streets to the slum, they were much more cautious, and now they took three steps to look around to keep an eye on what was going on.

"Hey, how much longer?"

A muffled voice asked the person leading the way in front of him, who didn't know what he was holding and looked at the empty street ahead.

"And two... Run left! Fast! ”

The light of the fire on the right drifted towards this place, and the six of them immediately ran to a small path on the left, trying to avoid the patrol for the time being, Erlie and her father hid behind a few wooden boxes, and the others also found some cover to hide behind, waiting for the group.

“......”

Twelve soldiers approached with torches, dressed in leather armor in case the sound of the armor would scare the moles away. Each man had a short sword tied to his waist, and several men behind him carried bows and arrows on their backs in case anyone escaped and could not catch up.

“… Scattered to check, a team just saw someone running here. ”

A man resembling a captain gave orders to the others, and the man with only the sword immediately dispersed and searched the surroundings, while the remaining soldiers took their bows and arrows and stared at every path and the top of the house.

"Damn it!"

The person who asked just now scolded in his heart, wondering who was so slow. The rest of the group also watched the team's actions.

Now is the time to bet on luck, and if you are unlucky, then everyone will be doomed together!

What if one of them confesses all the remaining ones in order to save his life?

Or why can they get out safely, shouldn't you die with me?

Erli thought that if she hastily solved these twelve people, she was afraid that she would not want to go out quietly, and she would be more likely to be targeted by powerful people.

“… Fragrance? You two, come with me. ”

The captain suddenly smelled something, casually pointed to the two men, and walked over to Ellie's side.

"Scent?"

The five of them didn't know how the scent came from, and they didn't smell anything at all along the way, but Ellie knew what it was, and she whispered.

"Oops..."

This is a smell that only professional Western exorcists can smell, and it was originally a small sachet given to her by Shenqi, and if something happens, use it to attract the attention of those exorcists.

Is this human an official exorcist? Can he smell it even if it's in his bag?

What to do, do you want to do it now?

The captain drew the short sword he wore at his waist first, and the two who followed him drew their weapons.

Elle pulled out the dagger from her waist and retracted her head behind the box, listening to the footsteps of the men approaching little by little.

Gotta get out.

There were three more steps, one more step, and the figure of Erli and the man could be seen.

"What people!"

The group of people behind suddenly reacted, and three people rushed over with torches, and then the firelight, several figures ran in the direction where the group of people came.

"Damn, chase!"

The captain glanced at the place, then gathered his men without looking back, and hurried after him.

"Where's the scent?!"

After seeing those people leave, the remaining four people gathered over, all with expressions of great calamity, but after they relaxed, they just questioned.

Because they obviously don't smell anything, the stench here is so strong that public administration doesn't go deep into this place at all. If you can smell the scent, it's from the scrap area of the slaughterhouse to the flower shop where the flowers are in full bloom.

"Maybe there's something wrong with that person's brain... Hurry up, we have to thank those people, if it weren't for them, we would be hanging on the city tomorrow. ”

The man who was hinted at would naturally think about Erli's identity and would naturally deviate from the topic. Others think it's strange, but if you can go out, how about this scent.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon... This place...",

The princess of the demon world sighed, she didn't expect to meet such an opponent when she went out casually, and she also strengthened her idea that she couldn't be exposed at will.

The group picked up speed again, and this time they didn't encounter the patrol much, and they only dodged twice before touching the area around a room. The man knocked on the door three times and took out what he was holding, which was a green stone.

The door opened, and a soldier who looked to be thirty years old suddenly relaxed his tense expression when he saw the green stone. He looked around and let the six in.

"How? Can we get out? ”

As soon as the door was closed, one of the men asked the crucial question, and the soldier nodded and said.

"I've got an hour left to deliver supplies to people outside the city, and I'll hide you in tents and food trucks. Halfway through, I'll let you out. After that, it's your business, you know? ”

"Understood."

"That's good, you guys come with me first."

……

"Gregory, what's on this?"

The guards who defended the city talked to the soldier who had promised to send them back, who was nervous but kept his attitude for now.

"The tent for the army outside the city, as you know, the day before yesterday, those fools actually burned down a third of their camp.

You see, it's all tents and food. ”

A white tent in the back was placed on the cart, along with several large bags of wheat and a piece of air-dried beef.

"... This group of people eat so well, why do they do things like that?

The height of this car has been pushed down quite a bit... Never mind... The more you talk, the more angry you become, you hurry over. ”

Hearing this, Gregory immediately drove out, and when the people in the city couldn't see him clearly, he quickly turned to a place where they couldn't see it.

"Damn, it's finally out... This wheat is going to crush me. ”

"You're done, it's tiring to hide under the car... I was almost spotted by the doorman. ”

The six men crawled out from under the cart and the pile of provisions, straightened their clothes, nodded to the soldier, and went their separate ways.

After dispersing, Elle dismissed the man's hints, and then left him with a confused face and ran towards Persia.
