Chapter 374: Breaking the City
Alyssa held the tent in a trance, she opened the lid of the kettle, poured the water from the kettle into her palm, and wiped her face vigorously. The skin on her face felt the coldness of the droplets, but the shadow in her heart did not dissipate. Cecia is dead, but all her memories of Sicia will face the same dead end.
Alyssa couldn't remember exactly what had happened that night, which was rare for a Templar, but it had happened to her.
However, she could recognize the blood-colored magic patterns on Cecia's body.
Those powers do not belong to Cecia, but to hers.
Alyssa stared at the droplets of water that slowly fell to the ground, and as her thoughts fluctuated, the transparent droplets of water suddenly flowed rapidly, cutting a few cuts into the soil beneath her feet.
......
On the other side, at the gate of the city.
The Taines is a veritable city that never sleeps, so when Lilith packed her bags and went to the inn in front of the city gates, there was a steady stream of carriages returning from outside the city, and she stopped in the post station for a long time and noticed something unusual about the inn - as Byrne said, the carriages here could not get in and out, and some people tried to communicate with the guards, but to no avail.
"That Barendav guy is definitely not at ease, I said they won't let us out of here easily!" Byrne glared viciously at the guard guarding the door in the distance, he recognized the other party, who had taken the lead in driving the great Royal Knights back.
But now it's different, they have the support of the eldest lady, and at the same time they have laid a net at the gate of the city!
"Miss, are you ready?" the scientist Sagrete was quite confident in this, and he went to the imperial capital with the Waves, which was also the first time he had left the Taine for most of his life. Sagrete discovers a series of things in the imperial capital that are refreshing to him.
Unstable Crystal.
That's right, this is his "heaven and earth net".
They spent an afternoon preparing the carriage and their bags, but more importantly, Sagrete unknowingly planted enough explosives near the gate to blow down the entire gate, which was the skill of the first craftsman of the Twenty-three Neutrals, and Sagrete was so pleased with his work that he thought that he might change his name to Mad Mouse.
Hey, who's the Mouse?
Sagrete was stunned.
The men boarded a carriage that looked inconspicuous, and Sagrette rode alone to the city gates. The guards naturally stopped them, and General Barendav did not allow anyone to go to the Emerald Forest, and before leaving, he issued an urgent recall order, and found the adventurers who had gone out on a mission one after another, bringing only his own elite and three teams of miscellaneous adventurers.
"The gates are sealed, and you cannot go out. "The guards showed their toughness.
"I don't think so. Sagrete smiled, and under the inexplicable gaze of the guards, he threw an orange crystal towards the city gate.
"Boom-"
Before the guards could react, they were swept out by the heat wave that swept from behind, and Sagrete took advantage of the chaos at the city gates and rushed out of the city at a high speed in his carriage. Barendav, we are about to overthrow your tyranny!
Then Sagrete felt his throat tighten, a leather whip slammed into his neck, the carriage spun along, and he felt like his eyes were about to pop out.
"That's your plan?" Lilith roared behind him.
"Calm down, Miss, we must let Barondaf's men know that we are not soft persimmons!" Byrne tried to dissuade the enraged Lilith.
"The people you blew up just now are all the industries of the Chamber of Commerce! The people who were scared away by you are all guests of the Chamber of Commerce!" Lilith was furious. When the explosion and the wave of fire appeared, her brain went blank, and Lilith's first reaction was that the force heard the news of her father's death and took advantage of the chaos to enter the Taine, but Bourne next to her laughed like a free shipping in the audience, and she realized that the explosion was caused by this group of mentally retarded people.
The person who can blow up the entire city gate, you don't have to think about it, knows that it is Sagrete.
"I'm going to strangle you today!" Lilith gritted her teeth, Sagret had been strangled by her to lie on the back of the horse, her feet facing the sky, and the whip in her hand had long since flown out of nowhere.
She really shouldn't believe that these guys who have more than enough success and more than enough to lose, a problem that can be solved through negotiations, these guys have to stage a terrorist attack in the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce. Oh my God! Lilith can already imagine loss reports and customer complaint letters. Therefore, she felt that there was only one way to repay them for the mistake they had just made: "Death to apologize!"
"Miss, calm down, Sagrete still has a map of the Emerald Forest on him, and it's not too late to kill him when he gets to the forest!" Old Jack hurriedly came out and became a peacemaker.
"Will you persuade people after all!"
Sagrete, who was on the verge of suffocation, asked Old Jack with difficulty.
When Lilith saw that Sagrete was really going to die, she gave her the whip in her hand, and the latter performed a 180° spiral Thomas spin on horseback like a vaulter to stabilize her body, and the joy of blowing up the city gate was gone, and all that was left was the luck of the rest of her life.
"Don't be too happy, when this is over, you four will honestly rebuild the walls for me, and apologize to the frightened guests until they have forgiven you and come back to me. Lilith snorted. It's a pity that she really lacks skills now, since her father mentioned the Emerald Forest, then there must be something hidden there.
Perhaps Barendav also somehow learned the secret of the Emerald Forest, and she had to find it before the other party.
"Miss, look, after crossing that bridge and walking for a while, you can see the Emerald Forest. Senna, who was the most composed, tried to divert the subject. In fact, he didn't approve of Bourne's terrorist attack so much, but he knew Bourne, and as partners who grew up together, Bourne's recklessness was something that no one could stop.
However, if Byrne had been a calm man, they would not have attacked General Jacobella's troops, nor would they have been escorted back to Taine by the other side, let alone see the eldest lady. They may spend their entire lives in that small, isolated country, complacent about being a glorious royal knight.
It was a long journey full of surprises for Senna, but what he saw was always different from Bourne's.
He saw endless danger.
This secret cost the elders their lives, and their limited power may not be enough to access the truth. Senna didn't say what he thought, he felt that if he stood in the position of the eldest lady, he would definitely pursue it without hesitation, even if it was danger or even death waiting for her.
Of course, he will fulfill his duties as a bodyguard.
The carriage drove up the bridge, and the Emerald Forest got closer and closer.
"Miss, it's a pleasure to ......"
"Shut up. ”
Lilith glanced at Senna, "Don't set up a flag, that's what Tyre told me." ”
