Chapter 511: Hannibal's True Intentions
At this time, Nguyen Chi and the others were staying in the temporary command building in Mondoch City, so the search for Hannibal was temporarily terminated due to the heavy rain.
St. Snoven of the Storm of the Crusade, Gabrielida, and others were in a conference room in the building, discussing with the guards of Mondoch about the battle to capture Hannibal.
Although Ruan Chi was invited over at that time, but after thinking about it again, Ruan Chi still refused, he didn't want to sit with those officials, and he didn't want to accept the command of the crusade team.
"Although the four gates have been closed now, and the only teleportation array has been heavily garrisoned, but Mondok City is so big, it is not so easy to find someone." Shirley stood in front of the window of the building, looking at the city outside that was shrouded in heavy rain, and couldn't help but feel a trace of irritability in her heart.
Ruan Chi stood next to her, but his expression was much calmer.
"Why don't you seem to be in a hurry?" Seeing Ruan Chi's calm appearance, Shirley was a little angry, and at the same time a little puzzled: "When you were in the Daredevil Wetland, you obviously wanted to catch Hannibal too, but tonight, you didn't seem to be very nervous, and even General Gabrilda refused to invite you to participate in the battle meeting." β
"Why should I discuss a battle plan with those people?" Ruan Chi rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't I the adventurer you invited back?" In that case, there was no need for Ge to cooperate with those guys' actions at all. β
"You're right to say that......" Shirley propped her forehead, then showed a worried expression, "This rain is too sudden tonight, and it will be very detrimental to our next arrest operation, and Hannibal may use this rain as a cover." Escaped from the city of Mondalk. β
"Why did you want him to run away?" Facing Shirley's worries. Ruan Chi suddenly said such a sentence.
Shirley didn't know why. Looking at Ruan Chi, he frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" Do you think Hannibal will not run away? β
"I don't rule it out." Ruan Chi said lazily.
"Impossible, unless Hannibal is insane." Shirley shook her head and said: "He has now killed the two cardinal archbishops of the Holy See, as well as more than two dozen clergy, the federal side has given an ultimatum, and he must be taken down tonight, in that case, will Hannibal be stupid enough to stay and fight with us?" β
"It's hard to say." Ruan Chi looked at the city outside that was shrouded in heavy rain, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "A person is seriously injured. He was so bold as to bloody the branch churches of the Holy See, do you think, in that state, isn't Hannibal already crazy? β
Ruan Chi's words made Shirley tremble, and she said in surprise: "You mean to say that Hannibal planned to break the net from the beginning and did not plan to leave Monddock City alive?" β
"Hannibal is an avenger, what do you think he wants to do most right now?" Ruan Chi did not answer Shirley's question, but threw out another question.
Shirley looked at Ruan Chi in surprise, half loud. Her expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "He wants to take revenge on everyone who killed his wife and son back then? β
"You said it before. The route of the Hollow Murder is directed to the north, and Hannibal's target may be Dracon, but I don't think so. Ruan Chi continued.
"Not Celestial Dragon City? So......" Shirley seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized: "Hannibal's original goal was the city of Monddock at all. β
"That's right!" Ruan Chi said with a teachable expression: "Those people who killed Hannibal back then, including the two cardinal archbishops of the Holy Chant Branch Church, there should be many nobles in this city, right?" Even those who shouted that Hannibal's wife and son would be burned to death had many civilians involved, so that everyone in the city could be said to be Hannibal's enemies. β
Hearing Ruan Chi's words, Shirley felt more and more creepy the more she listened, she hugged her arms and said with a pale face: "You mean that Hannibal may want the entire city of Mondoch to be buried with him?" β
Oh my God, what a crazy idea?
Shirley felt how terrible she felt just by imagining it now, and hurriedly grabbed Ruan Chi's hand and shouted, "Quick, tell Your Excellency SΓΉ Snowen and General Gabrilda about this matter." β
"Don't joke, why sue them?" Ruan Chi shook off Shirley's hand and didn't have a good air.
"Bastard, now is not the time to be rash, and if Hannibal's plot is really successful, how many people will have to die." Shirley said anxiously.
"What's the point?" Ruan Chi rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think that suing them about this matter will solve the problem?" Do you think they'll believe my guess? β
Ruan Chi's words made Shirley calm down again, and said with a wry smile: "Then what should I do?" Will Hannibal's plot be allowed to succeed? β
"Don't panic yet, this is all my speculation, I don't know if Hannibal will really do this, it's useless to be nervous now, it's the right thing to find him out first."
"No kidding, it's the size of Mondoch, and now it's raining again, Hannibal has to have the heart to hide, we can't find it so lightly."
"Who said they couldn't find it, didn't they just find it?" Ruan Chi suddenly pointed to An Peiqi next to him and smiled.
Shirley looked at Ruan Chi with a blank expression, and then at An Peiqi.
"I've managed to lock down Hannibal, in an old building north of the city." An Peiqi, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and said.
It turned out that from the moment he stepped into this city, Ruan Chi asked An Peiqi to spread his spiritual power and began to search every corner of the city.
With this kind of effort to find someone, Ampeggy's ability is indeed very useful, no, it only took half a night for her to successfully lock on to Hannibal's hiding place.
"You're not kidding, are you? Have you found Hannibal? Despite hearing the good news, Shirley looked at Ampige with an expression of disbelief.
"Isn't it clear if you found it for a while to get there?" Ruan Chi smiled, and then said to An Peiqi: "Share your eyes in a while, and we will arrest people immediately." β
"Okay." An Peiqi nodded, and then used her mental power to link. Share the searched images with Ruan Chi's mind.
After confirming that the location is correct. Ruan Chi took the lead and walked out to the door of the building. Shirley followed the letter suspiciously, and this time, she didn't say the kind of stupid words that asked Ruan Chi to inform the crusade team.
However, when the four of them came to the door, a large group of people suddenly ran in from outside, and to Ruan Chi's surprise, where did Snowen, Gabrida, Sulu and others, who were originally holding meetings in the conference room, actually appear. And it seems that something is waiting.
"Captain Shirley, where are you going?" Standing in the crowd, Sulu saw Shirley hurrying down, so he stopped her.
The other party was also his boss, and Shirley didn't say hello or walked over directly, so she stopped and explained: "We were planning to go to the city to search for Hannibal......"
"No need to go, we'll have news of Hannibal soon."
Su Lu suddenly said something that made Shirley stunned, and Ruan Chi listened to it next to him, and couldn't help but stop curiously.
He also wanted to know why there was news of Hannibal on the side of the raiding party.
A large group of people who had just run in from outside were soon in Snowwin. Gabrielida, and a large bearded man stopped. I saw that when they came in, they dragged a girl covered in blood to come in.
"Bang!"
The men threw the girl straight to the ground, and one of them, dressed as a knight, walked up to Snowwin and reported, "We caught a member of the Dream Circus in the slums north of the city. β
Ruan Chi noticed that the girl lying on the ground was the cursed child of the werewolf and human races, and had fought with her before.
The girl was covered in injuries, her body was still washed by the rain, she looked dying, and the blood bar on her head was still falling, if she was not treated, it was estimated that she would hang up soon.
"How did you do it, let you arrest someone, why did you make her like this?" The bearded man yelled at the knights.
This man was the captain of the Mondoch City Guard, and because he knew that this girl was the key to finding Hannibal, he couldn't help but be angry when he saw the girl hurt like this.
"I'm sorry, that girl is so powerful, we sacrificed a lot to catch her......" said the reprimanded knight, bowing his head.
"Excuses, excuses!"
The big man pointed at the knight's nose and cursed, but was quickly stopped by Gabrid.
"Forget it, it's been hard for the brothers of the guard to brave the rain to capture Hannibal's remnants, and now they have at least brought people back."
When the big man heard Gabrida's words, he hurriedly nodded and said, "The general is right. As he spoke, he scolded the knight and the members of the guard behind the knight: "Thank you General Gabrilda for not being able to do so." β
As the guard of Mondoch City, although the Great Han was not Gabriddle's subordinate, Gabrilda was the commander of the Horn of Sparta and a student of the Grand Duke of Strathra, so the Great Han was naturally respectful to Gabriddle.
Gabrielda was already accustomed to this kind of flattery, and her eyes fell back on the dying girl on the ground.
"Lord Snowwin, look at ......" Gabrida obviously knew that the girl was dying, and at this time he deliberately glanced at the Storm Saint next to him.
Snowwin nodded, signaling Gabrilda not to worry, and then walked up to the girl, raising his hand and a cyan light appeared out of thin air.
The light fell on the girl's body, turning into bits of cyan light and burrowing into her wound, and in about five or six minutes, the girl's wound had not healed, but it was obvious that the bleeding had stopped.
Ruan Chi noticed that the blood bar on the girl's head was gone, and the blood volume was slowly rising, although it was not obvious, but Snowwen's hand obviously succeeded in saving the girl's life.
After stabilizing the girl's injuries, Snowwin then cast several more spells that would restore her senses, and after a while, the girl woke up.
"Hello, I'm the commander-in-chief of this expedition, Gabrida." Walking up to the girl, Gabrilda began to question.
In order to prevent the girl from committing suicide like the captive she had captured last time, the girl was locked with a set of shackles all over her body before being questioned, and even her head was fixed.
The girl raised her eyelids and glanced at Gabrida, then looked at the people around her, and half-sounded, with a sneer on her face, "Don't ask me, I won't betray my father." β
As soon as the words came, a mouthful of blood arrow erupted from the girl's mouth, and Gabrida's expression changed greatly, and she turned her head to dodge the blood arrow that came from her, but when she looked at the girl again, her person was already dead.
"Damn!"
It happened so suddenly, and everyone couldn't understand why such a good girl would suddenly spurt blood and die like last time.
Shirley also felt incredible when she saw this scene, and quietly took Ruan Chi's hand and asked, "Why is she like this?" How did you suddenly die? β
"How do I know?" Ruan Chi rolled his eyes and said.
Although she answered Shirley like this, in fact, Ruan Chi just noticed that before the girl spurted blood, there was a skull-shaped debuff icon on her head, and this icon appeared for a very short time, and it disappeared almost at the same time as the girl spewed blood arrows, but at the same time, the girl's blood bar, which had originally recovered a small section, was immediately emptied and hung up directly in less than a moment.
"What now? Could it be that one of Hannibal's remnants was caught and just died. Gabrilida said with a look on his face.
"Take the body down, and we'll go back and talk about it again." Snowwin sighed and waved his hand.
The girl's body was quickly dragged away, and the members of the raiding party returned to the conference room to reschedule the battle, but no one noticed, and one of them stayed secretly.
After watching the "lively", Ruan Chi stayed here with Shirley, Jialan and An Peiqi left the building, and as for the person who secretly stayed behind the crusade team, he followed from a distance.
This person who deliberately stayed behind and followed Ruan Chi and them was none other than Su Lu, and as for why he did this, it was out of his last experience.
Sulu believes that since Ruan Chi and the others were able to find Hannibal's hiding place first in the Daredevil Wetland last time, this time should be no exception.
Therefore, when he met Ruan Chi and Shirley just now, Su Lu deliberately kept an eye on it, and now when he saw them walking outside, Su Lu followed with the excitement in his heart.
After walking out of the building, Ruan Chi and the others got into a carriage and drove in the direction of the north of the city.
Because it was raining heavily outside, and Ruan Chi and his party didn't expect that they would be the target of tracking, they didn't notice that there was another carriage following them far away on the way there.
Half an hour later.
The carriage carrying Ruan Chi drove into the northern part of the city of Mondoch, and in the vicinity of this area, there was a residential area where the nobles lived, and although a curfew had been issued, the mansion where the nobles lived could still be seen with fire.
Apparently, the nobles were still indulging in their rotten lives, completely unaware that there was an Avenger lurking near them. (To be continued......)
