Chapter 392: Reason

Salfin had long known that the gang had a crush on Luna, so when he learned that Luna was placed in Corria Manor, he deliberately sent his men to leak the news and lure the people who were hiding in the shadows to take the bait. www.biquge.info He also knew that no one would support his plan, so he didn't even tell Julius about it.

But he never expected that he was a bad move, and the inner city, which he regarded as his home stadium, became the reason for the failure. He was caught off guard by the Royal Knights, who had taken control of the inner city, and Luna was taken away by Ziegler's men in the chaos of the battle.

"I'm curious, how did you know about this?" Ziegler asked unhurriedly. It was quite a distance from the royal capital, and it was deep in the forest, and few people knew about his stronghold here.

And when he saw Salfin alone, he knew that he was in a safe position, and Ziegler, just in case, set up here more than a dozen of the most elite warriors of the Royal Knights, who had accompanied him to the battlefield and personally selected them after he became captain.

Salfin may be good, but at most he is evenly matched, and as long as his men are embraced, it is only a matter of time before he is taken down.

"I did go to great lengths to find out about this cabin. ”

"Nightingale. Ziegler thought about it for a long time, and finally the enigmatic woman came to mind. She has a more powerful intelligence network than Coriya, and more than eighty percent of the nobles in the royal capital have business dealings with that woman. Ziegler was no exception, and he paid a lot of price to find the girl he had once had a relationship with.

But it's all worth it.

"Since you're here, it means that Nightingale doesn't fully trust me. Ziegler said indifferently that now that Luna had fallen into his hands, the relationship with the Nightingale was not so important.

"You shouldn't let her carry the black pot, it's not a good thing to be remembered by a careful-eyed woman. Salfin said, quietly observing the black-clad people around him.

Well-trained and with a strong killing intent, this is a veteran who has retired from the war. As long as Ziegler pestered him, the men in black could easily shoot him into a sieve. To make matters worse, he left Shadow in the manor in order to cope with Coria, and the loss of contact meant that Shadow had been killed by Coria, and he would no longer be able to use his Marker anytime soon.

"Nightingale, Assassin Guild?"

Ziegler shook his head disdainfully, and as soon as he pushed open the door of the wooden house, he hooked his fingers, and a flame rose from the candle on the table, a trick of the royal knights. Luna is tied to a log stake by him, posing like a martyr.

"If you know where this little girl came from, you'll know that those are nothing. ”

"You sent the assassination letter too. Salfin said in an affirmative tone, if this was done by the captain of the inner city himself, it was normal for Coria not to find out.

Ziegler made no secret of this: "You can't blame me, I told Leah a long time ago to expel the disciples of the Divine Bird Sect from the country, but I didn't expect this girl to be as stupid as her father." ”

He flicked his sleeve, and a sharp dagger slipped into his hand. Under Luna's horrified gaze, he slowly walked towards the stake. As soon as Salfin moved, several sharp arrows were nailed to the ground in front of him, full of warning.

"Hopefully you know what you're doing. Salfin's tone was cold, trying to warn Ziegler.

"Of course I do. ”

Ziegler's smile appeared on his face, and the dagger in his hand had already stabbed into Luna's chest. Sticky blood trickled down the dagger, and Luna craned her neck and mouth open, trying to make a final struggle like a fish out of water. The dagger stabbed into her chest and stirred it brutally, as if to shatter her heart.

It all happened in a flash of light, and before Salfin could react, Ziegler had already made an irreversible move.

Within seconds, Luna's eyes lost and her limbs stopped shaking. Almost at the same time, something even more unbelievable happened to Salfinβ€”the blood that fell to the ground turned into a golden flame, and the spreading flames formed a ring of fire that surrounded Ziegler in the center. The wound on Luna's chest healed quickly and at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Salfin had never seen anyone alive after his heart had been torn apart.

Luna doesn't wake up, but her involuntary trembling limbs prove she's not dead.

"If that girl listens to me, then after the Divine Bird Cult is completely expelled from the Kingdom of Talen, I will resign as captain and continue to retire, and no one will die because of this incident. Ziegler was referring to the servants in Corria's manor, who had nothing to do with the maids, and even entertained him with a few of them, but he did not feel guilty at all: "This girl has the power to destroy the entire kingdom in her body. For the sake of the future of the kingdom of Tarun, any sacrifice is worth it - Salfin, if it were you, would make the same choice. ”

Unable to achieve his goal peacefully, Ziegler decided to exterminate all members of the Cult by force. Only in this way can the potential threat be niped in the cradle.

"Looks like you know my style. ”

"Not only that, but in order to prevent the three of you from sabotaging my plans, I have studied your abilities - I noticed that you have not summoned your 'shadow' right now, which means that your abilities will be invalid tonight. ”

Unlike the people of the Kingdom of Talen, who had many comrades from the imperial capital during the Hundred Years' War, he had already learned how to observe the seals: "On the night of your first encounter with Julius, you kicked him into the sea, but your 'shadow' died, and your abilities were ineffective for the next three days. ”

Ziegler paused: "Salfin, this time, who killed your 'shadow'? This is your last chance." ”

The person he was really afraid of was neither Salfin nor Coriya, but Lin Qiu and the others who came all the way from the imperial capital for some reason, and their arrival had to make Ziegler speed up his plan. If this news got out, he would be surrounded by three Templars - that would be the equivalent of the combined high-level combat power of a medium kingdom!

So, he couldn't let Salfin get out of here alive.

"Salfin, I have a lot of respect for you, you are probably the best of the captains...... But, for the sake of the future of the kingdom, please die!"

The words fell, and several arrows were fired.
