The matter of the East City Gate soon spread to the ears of the upper echelons of the families.

With a few hundred people entering the royal city during the curfew period, it is not a trivial matter, not to mention that during this sensitive period, the identity of this group of people is not difficult to guess.

However, at the behest of Horace, this group of adventurers who should have been blocked out of the city were all let in by the city defense army, and several major forces were not alarmed on the surface, but in fact they were surging undercurrents.

A few black figures, quickly shuttling through the buildings on both sides of the street, their bodies were as agile as cheetahs in the night, and a few dodged to avoid the patrols below, and no one noticed the abnormality.

The location that the group of men in black rushed to was a luxurious building near the royal palace.

The building was surrounded by a garden, and the most elite soldiers were stationed nearby, and the vigilance was not even lower than that of the major aristocratic families, and several men in black were extremely fast, and they actually escaped the attention of this group of soldiers and turned over and jumped into the garden.

Several black-clothed men entered the courtyard and rushed to the pond not far away as soon as possible.

There was no light source at the edge of the pond, and it was a silent darkness, which was extremely cold and oppressive, except for the occasional sound of running water.

"How's it going?"

"The identities of the crowd blocking the East City Gate have been verified, and they are all participants in the Demon Hunting Trial. ”

Several men in black knelt on the ground and reported respectfully.

In front of them, however, was a figure with his back to him.

This person hid in the dark shadows, and his palms kept sprinkling fish food into the pond, revealing a calm demeanor in his every move, while the few men in black who were half-kneeling beside him were all ruthless and bloodthirsty killers, and their strength was all silver high-level, and even the royal family did not have such power.

"Hmmm......"

Scattering the fish food in his hand, the man also ended thinking.

The small bowl containing the fish was set aside, and the man stood up and walked out.

"Continue to monitor the movements of all parties and report to me immediately if there is any situation. ”

"I'm going to the palace now. ”

A group of men in black received the order at the same time, sending the former in the direction of leaving.

At this time, another man in black came, obviously not with the previous people, and he was holding a carrier pigeon in his hand.

The only thing special is that the carrier pigeon is completely black, and the night is its best disguise.

"My lord, this is information from the Ferror Mountains. ”

Take the pigeon and take out the note from the letterbox.

After reading the contents of the note, the man's brow furrowed slightly, and an even colder cold glint flashed in his eyes, but all this was done in a very short time, and then his expression returned to his original state.

Although things turned out of place, it did not affect the final outcome.

The luxury carriage left the mansion and headed to the royal palace not far away.

At the same time, several black shadows evaded the attention of the guards and rushed out of the mansion to all directions of the royal city.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

The palace was also brightly lit, but everyone in the palace was at risk, and from their experience, it was not difficult to guess that something big was going to happen.

The Holy Cult Army was warmly received by the royal palace as distinguished guests, but this Holy Cult army consisted of only a few 500 men, and under the command of Isidore, all of them were arranged outside the palace.

When Charles III and Isidore met alone, no one knew the contents, and no one could eavesdrop on the conversation between the two golden powerhouses, but the current situation in the royal city became more and more confusing.

It was late at night, and Charles III still had no rest.

Although he is old, his strength has reached the Golden Knight, and his requirements for daily sleep are not so harsh, not to mention that there are even more tricky things for him now, waiting for him to solve them one by one.

The failure of the demon hunting trial has caused the entire Norton Kingdom to suffer heavy losses, and the king needs to give an explanation to the people, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the royal family.

In addition to the people, the various organizations gathered for the demon hunting trial are the ones who need to be treated with the most caution.

The organization formed by the adventurers is different from the forces of the mercenary group, and there are many people who have cultivated to a high level, and once the number forms a certain size, it is difficult for the army to deal with this group of people.

Charles III paced around the palace, pondering his next steps.

Outside the hall, a guard stepped forward quickly.

"Your Majesty, Lord Angus begs to see you. ”

"Let him come up. ”

Soon, Angus was seen ascending the palace, and the guards on both sides saluted one after another, showing respect to the king's close courtiers.

Although Angus is an ordinary person, not even a knight's squire, his status in the Norton Kingdom is no less than that of Duke Balk of the Victor family.

"Your Majesty. ”

Charles III nodded, distraught and did not say much.

Angus glanced at the king and then spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty has heard about the East City Gate, and now that this group of surviving adventurers has entered the city, it will be difficult for us to gather them again. ”

Hearing this, Charles III, who had not responded for a long time, sighed.

"The matter of closing the teleportation array ahead of time will definitely make these people resentful, not to mention that the organization they belong to is still waiting for my response. ”

"Besides, what kind of conspiracy does the demon clan in the secret realm have? ”

Of course, this sentence is just a question in his mind.

Although the most difficult thing to block is to give everyone an explanation and solve the adverse consequences of this trial, the problems hidden under this matter, as a high-ranking monarch, naturally have doubts in his heart.

The demons have been silent for a hundred years, even if they have secretly developed into such a large scale, why did they choose to fight back at this time, the demons can't teleport away like humans, so what is their purpose.

"Your Majesty?"

Angus asked softly.

"You say. ”

Charles III returned to the throne and sat down, and several unsolvable problems were entrenched in front of him, which made him feel powerless.

Angston paused, took a few steps closer and said.

"Along with Miss Sally came back the girl adopted by the Billy family. ”

Charles III waved his hand, obviously he had received this information as well, and now he wanted to know more about what the other party was going to say later.

"According to Young Master Reynolds and Her Royal Highness Melinda, when they were pursued by the demons, it was Pierce who attracted the demons first, which caused everyone to be surrounded and suffered heavy losses. ”

Charles III frowned and did not speak.

The corners of Angus's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stepped forward to ask: "I suspect that Pierce colluded with the demons and intended to take revenge on Reynolds and Melinda. ”

"Where is he now?"

Angus rolled his eyes, and then said, "Although Your Majesty doesn't know, his fiancée is hiding in the mansion where Miss Sally is staying. ”

......

Charles III pondered for a moment, and finally slowly rose from his throne.

"Just do as you say. ”
