Chapter 193: Race Against Time
"Are you saying they deliberately didn't want us to see the Holy Maiden?" Xiao Chen asked.
"As I just said, the Holy Maiden has always wanted to use the power of this continent to save you. What does this mean?" said MontaΓ±o, after a pause, with a heavy expression, "war, death, and great losses. β
"I don't think there are a few people in the inquisition who really want to be saviors over the years. For them, having the supreme power on this continent, why should they go to the other side of the sea, fight to the death with the enemy, and waste their strength in vain?"
"What about yourself, are you willing to do these things?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I don't know. But I choose to trust the judgment of the Holy Maiden. After all these years, the Holy Maiden has guided us to develop this land into what it is now, and if she thinks that the awakening of the evil gods threatens us, then I would like to believe that it is true. So, I'm willing to send you over and let her judge. Montagno said.
"I thought that the most admired saints should be those executors. β
"No, the closer you are, the easier it is to lose faith. People like us see the Holy Woman as a leader and mentor who always shows us the way forward. The populace saw a goddess-like saint who knew everything and could do anything in the legend. But what about the people who were around her every day? The Holy Judges saw the Holy Lady who had been raised by the maids since she was a child, and they were used to seeing her as the weakest and ignorant, and how much faith would they have in her?"
Xiao Chen found that the other party's statement was very reasonable, maybe this was the real reason why the referee seemed so hostile after hearing about his origin. Maybe they were prepared for this many years ago, and if they met someone from the Eastern Continent, they should have dealt with them like this.
"Okay, let's not say anything superfluous. I think Bruders should be able to solve the problem of meeting the Holy Maiden after you enter the Holy Virgin City. It's up to me to figure out how to get you to the center of the continent. General MontaΓ±o walked over to his desk and pulled out a document, "There's a supply ship that will depart from El City tonight and return to Memphis City, the logistics center in the southeastern part of the continent, so that you can avoid the Magistrate Enforcers who are gathering here. Once you get out of this siege and get to Memphis, my men will put you in the supply team to the Holy Virgin City. It will take about seven or eight days in total, and you will be there.
But I have two suggestions, the first is not too many people in the past, preferably no more than four or five people. If you are not found in El City, the magistrates will definitely search for you throughout the continent, and it will be easy to expose you if there are too many people.
The second is that your ship had better leave our harbor and anchor on the outlying islands, otherwise it will be impossible to hide that your ship of such a special style will be seen by someone who cares. The referee will pay attention to you before, because a spy reported the news of a strange ship's visit. Your ship will take this opportunity to leave, just in time to divert some of your pursuers. β

General MontaΓ±o was extremely efficient, and after Xiao Chen agreed to his plan, he had already appeared on the navy supply ship that night. Esselit accompanied them on the boat and set off. Also accompanied by Luo Ling, Umedada, Ye Zi and Roger, as well as the black studs on Luo Ling's ears. Evelyn was too peculiar in appearance to be good for disguise, so he arranged for her to return to the ship. And Huang Zheng is going to lead the Marine Corps, and Metatron has been sitting in the fleet, and now this is almost the strongest lineup that Xiao Chen can put out.
However, Montagno and the others didn't know that Xiao Chen's people could expand into a large army at any time.
Xiao Chen locked up all the captured executors in the Demon Suppression Prison before leaving, and then blew up the entrance, according to the structure of this prison, these people will not be able to get out in a few days.
The crows and storks were also returned to the ship by him, and Mao Kai spent the past few days carefully studying their spell-casting techniques.
The supply ship traveled along the coastline in the night, emitting white smoke. In order to cover its tracks, it did not change its usual speed and headed towards Memphis City without hurrying.
In the early morning of the next day, in front of the entrance of the collapsed Demon Suppression Prison, there were more than a dozen black-clothed executors. The two leaders were trimmed with gold and did not wear masks. One was a man in his fifties with short purple hair, who looked at the collapsed place with his hands behind his back, and there was no joy or anger between his eyebrows.
The woman beside him was in her forties, with long silver-white hair, and although there were some traces of time on her face, this woman was still very beautiful.
They are none other than the two Saint Inquisitors, Cleveland the Demon Breaker and Yolanda the Observer.
"I can feel that there are more than a hundred executors locked up under this demon suppression prison. Yolanda said she was observing, but in fact her eyes were closed, "These people are okay and don't seem to be hurt." β
"In other words, they should still have the strength?" Cleveland's voice was cold.
"Some people are moving, probably without any restrictions, others seem to be in a coma. β
Cleveland's deputy asked, "My lord, do you want to mobilize the surrounding troops and start digging now?" I know that no matter how many men are sent, it will take at least two days to dig through this structure of the Demon Prison. β
"Then what are you digging for, let these fools save themselves, we don't have time to waste here!" Cleveland said angrily, "Yolanda, use your Eye of Traces. Tell me which direction these people from the Eastern Continent ended up going?"
Yolanda didn't say anything, she closed her eyes quietly, her hair and robe were windless, and a huge spiritual power expanded from around her body, her spiritual power was very special, thin and soft, if it was used to fight, it would definitely look weak and weak, but it could cover a huge area when used to probe.
After a long while, Yolanda opened her eyes, and the vision around her calmed down, and she spoke: "These people are very powerful, they consciously cover up their traces, I can only observe three places where there are traces of concentrated explosions of magical power, one is here, one is a house in the city, and the last place is outside the port, they should have finally gone to sea." β
"In what direction?"
"It's supposed to be all the way to the east, did they go back to the East Road?"
Cleveland said: "Don't rush to make a judgment first, first find out who that house is!"
