Chapter 513: Gotha
Flying stealthily over the Chaotic Tooth Forest, Hilt frowned slightly as he looked at the information gathered in the communication crystal.
Originally, when he took over the task of searching for Kara, Hilt thought that this matter would not be difficult. On the one hand, Carla and Lira fought for a long time, not only consuming a lot of hole cards, but also winning the energy absorption technique, igniting the source of fighting energy, and the injury was already extremely serious. Coupled with Bella's death finger, Kara's form has reached the limit. Even if you use drugs and items such as scrolls to regain some state, your overall combat power will inevitably drop significantly, and it will not be enough to pose a threat to yourself anymore.
On the other hand, before Bella's departure, she not only left Hilt with a team of experts who could search the entire Rantooth Forest, but also left a mark of death mana in Kara's body. With this mark, as soon as Kara leaves the shelter where she is hiding, Hilter will soon be able to find her traces, and he is not afraid of Kara escaping quietly.
However, what was supposed to be a fairly easy task was carried out, but after the execution began, many unexpected situations occurred. First of all, Kara, who was seriously injured, had no trace of it, and even with the help of the power mark left by Bella, she could not sense it. After that, the search team was attacked one after another, and they lost three gold-level masters and their attached silver-level subordinates in a row, and the losses could be described as extremely heavy.
Although after adjusting the composition of the search team, the enemy hiding in the shadows did not dare to attack the search team again, but his own side never found the trace of the murderer, nor did he determine the identity of the other party, no matter how Hilter urged his subordinates to search and monitor, there was no progress. The other party was like a ghost, and disappeared directly into the Chaotic Tooth Forest.
For this situation, Hilt was angry and irritable, and at the same time, there was also a slight panic in his heart. Although the murderer will basically destroy the corpse before leaving, and try to eliminate the traces and clues of the battle, from the remaining clues, Hilter can still determine that it was not Morse and Adrian, the two escaped phantom masters, nor Gotha who has no news now, but some masters that Hilt is not familiar with.
And from the fact that the other party was able to kill the search apricot led by an ordinary gold-level master in a short period of time, it showed that the opponent's strength was quite amazing, at least not much inferior to himself at the peak of the gold-level level. The sudden appearance of such a force of unknown origin, but with good strength, made it clear that it was against his own side, even if the strength in his hand jumped to an absolute advantage, the pressure in Hilter's heart increased sharply.
"Damn, who is on that side?" After flipping through the report sent by his mage, and finding that there were no valuable clues, Hilt couldn't help but curse.
In any situation of battle, what is most afraid is not the enemy on the surface, but this kind of enemy hidden in the shadows, who does not know the origin of the other party, and does not understand the enemy's needs for immediate punishment, the enemy on the surface is there, and the needs for immediate punishment are obvious, and there are certain rules on how to deal with it. However, for the enemy hidden in the shadows, it is difficult to prevent and win over, and it is even more difficult to destroy directly, so it is very difficult to deal with it.
As for the identity of this hidden enemy, Hilter also had a variety of speculations, and even suspected Luo Sheng's body for a time. After all, there are only a few forces involved in the Chaotic Tooth Forest, Kara's forces have been basically destroyed, and the reinforcements arranged by Lila before have also been solved by Bella outside the Chaotic Tooth Forest in advance, and the rest is only the power of Luo Sheng's side that sold the Yuelan Stone.
However, suspicion is suspicion, and no tangible clues have been caught, and Hilt has never been able to confirm it. After all, on the bright side, Rason's side doesn't seem to have a reason to be an enemy of Bella. Moreover, it is unknown how strong the forces behind Luo Sheng are, and whether they can easily solve the search team under his command.
Just when Hilt was worried about the identity and purpose of the secret enemy, the communication crystal in his hand suddenly lit up, and an urgent message reached Hilter's mind: Gotha's trace has been found.
By the time Hilt arrived at the location indicated by the message, Gotha had already walked out of the bubble of space where he was hiding, and Mia confronted Gotha with some of the Nightingale's men from afar.
"Finally found you. Chief Gotha Knight, His Highness Bella has orders, if you are willing to surrender, I can give you a chance to join us, do you want to surrender?" After a slight gesture to Mia, Hilter stood in mid-air and said to Gotha below with a smile.
Although it was Bella who personally solved Lila's life, after Lila was confirmed to be dead, Gotha, who had lost his allegiance and partner, had in fact jumped into a state of independence, and would not necessarily fight to the death with Hilt and others. So Hilt did not directly besiege Gotha, but threw an olive branch first.
"Do you think you've already settled on me? Since Her Highness Bella is not here, if I want to break through, I can kill the Chaos Tooth Forest at any time. Gotha glanced up at Hilt and said with a smirk expression.
Although he was besieged by the Phantom before, relying on his strength at the peak of the Golden Rank and superb skills, Gotha was not injured much. After a period of repair, Gotha is basically back to his peak form. Therefore, in the case of Bella, the legendary priest who really made Gotha jealous, leave, even in the face of the siege of Mia, Hilt and others, Gotha has full confidence to break through if he lets go of his hands and feet.
"Of course I believe that. But what about after the breakout, Gotha, do you dare to go back to Blackpool City directly?" Hilter smiled and said confidently: "Gotha, since you didn't break through and leave directly, you must also want to talk to us, right?"
If you only break through individually, with Gotha's strength, it is indeed not too difficult. When the master of the peak of the Golden Rank is in good condition, his ability to survive and escape is very amazing⊥ even Hilter, who is also a mage at the peak of the Golden Rank, is not sure to stop the other party.
However, it is easy for Gotha to escape from the Troubled Tooth Forest alone, but it is not so easy to maintain his powerful position in Blackpool City△ As one of the participants in the heir battle, the death of the Lila assisted by Gotha means that the power of the Lila family has completely collapsed, and Gotha will definitely be greatly impacted as an important figure in this faction, and may even be strangled by the winning side.
So before reaching an agreement with the Bella family, who had obviously won, Gotha didn't dare to return to Blackpool City directly. And this time Gotha took the initiative to show up, in order to talk about the conditions of surrender.
"Then what can you offer me?"
