The gate of the Cold Emerald Manor is not too close to the luxurious building where the banquet is held.

Take the open-top carriage provided in the manor, which takes nearly five or six minutes to arrive.

If you are walking, it will take at least 10 minutes.

Not to mention the speed at which the people of the New Temple were holding hundreds of young people hostage, dragging and pushing.

By the time they reached the gate where their mounts and carriage were parked, it had already taken nearly a quarter of an hour.

And during this time, Gervais has been squeezing in and out of the crowd without stopping.

With him so diligent, the harvest is naturally not small.

After successfully taking out the second White Flag Knight, Gervais carried out a sneak attack assassination at a rate that would kill the White Flag Knight almost every two minutes.

In fifteen minutes, he had already dealt with seven White Flag Knights, and this Gervais was holding his hand on the mouth of the eighth White Flag Knight, who was already silent.

"There's one last one!"

The new Templar who had collapsed on top of him was handed over to a young man beside him, and Gervais meditated on his mind as he untied the ropes on the youth's wrists.

In fact, in the process of rescuing these young people, Gervais has been looking for an opportunity to rescue Adella.

But Marshall, who held Adella hostage, deserved to be the head of the hall, and he was very cautious, seeing and listening to all directions.

Gervais was well in the crowd, but Marshall couldn't detect the loud footsteps of the crowd.

But as soon as Gervais moved closer to Marshall, or if his gaze was directly on Marshall, Marshall would immediately notice something strange and glance at him.

Gervais had already tried twice in the previous ten minutes, each time.

Fortunately, Gervais was also very alert, and after only a brief glance at Marshall, he immediately moved away, pretending to be a hostage and walking forward, so Marshall did not notice his existence.

However, Marshall's super alertness made it impossible for Gervais to rescue Adella, and he had already carefully circled the crowd for most of the time, but still did not find a chance.

Seeing that he was getting closer to the place where his mounts and carriage were kept, Gervais fixed his eyes on the last of the new Templars holding the dozen or so young people hostage.

Because his position was directly behind Marshall, Gervais estimated to be the only place close to Marshall's that would not be easily noticed.

With a plan in mind, Gervais whispered a word to the young men who had just been rescued, and then bent down as he had done before to touch the last man who was hiding among the hostages.

……

"Are we just watching them escape? They're about to get to the place where the wagons are kept! ”

As they got closer and closer to the gate of the Cold Emerald Manor, many Holy City City Lords were already anxious.

In addition to storing their mounts, the cold jade gate also stored a lot of carriages they rode in, which were not only wide but also well protected.

As long as the people of the new temple take their children hostage and get into the carriage, when the time comes, it will be really difficult to chase after them out of the City of Hope.

If the people of the new temple leave the city and flee separately and then do not keep their promise, their heirs will surely be unlucky.

These city lords are also decisive people on weekdays, after all, they can't sit comfortably if they don't have any skills.

But now it is their heirs who are being held hostage by the people of the new temple, which makes these city lords have no idea where to start, and some of them are jealous.

This is true even for figures like Duke Edward, let alone them.

"If you don't, then what's the solution?"

"Now that our heirs are in their hands, they will have enough time to kill our heirs first! Even if we kill them all, it won't do anything! ”

"Yes, the only way now is to follow them out of the city, presumably they shouldn't dare to play tricks in order to escape."

The Holy City Lords whispered as they stared at the new Templars in front of them.

……

"Johnson, Bruno!"

And at this time, Duke Edward, who had been silent for a long time with his head down, suddenly spoke in a low voice.

The two people Edward called were none other than two of Sky City's allies.

"Duke Edward, what's wrong?"

Johnson and Bruno kept their heads on the people of the New Temple, looking for an opportunity to see if they could save people directly.

Suddenly, they heard Edward's shout, and both of them turned their heads to look at Edward and whispered a question.

"Look down at your feet!"

Edward spoke to the two of them in a barely audible voice.

"Foot?"

Hearing Edward's words, the two of them were a little confused, and immediately looked towards the ground in confusion.

Tonight's weather is like the oppressive atmosphere in the manor at this time, it is a dark night without moonlight and starlight, and the only thing everyone can rely on is their own super five senses.

And when the two city lords, Johnson and Bruno, looked down at the ground, they sensed a little abnormality on the ground with their super five senses.

It was a few faint black lines, probably some kind of continuous dripping liquid, which stretched from under their feet to the new temple personnel and the young people who were being held hostage.

And this black line is almost impossible to detect in the dark night unless it is carefully examined.

The two of them continued to scan left and right on the bluestone road, and found a total of eight such black lines.

After seeing so many black lines, the two of them had a little doubt at first, but after a while, they suddenly came to their senses, their eyes widened in disbelief, and then their hearts became anxious.

"Duke Edward, this is a blood ......"

"Yes, I just stumbled upon it, and it shouldn't be wrong!"

Edward didn't wait for the two to finish, and immediately nodded in affirmation of their opinions.

"Could it be that the people of the New Temple are not keeping their promises, Duke Edward, should we do it immediately!"

In Johnson and Bruno's opinion, it is natural that so many blood lines could not have been shed by the cultists of the New Temple, and it was likely that they were shed by their heirs.

"Don't worry, this blood is most likely not from your heirs, but most likely from those New Temple cultists!"

Edward was worried that the two would make some drastic moves, and immediately spoke out to stop the anxious two, while expressing his own guess.

"What, the cultists of the New Temple? How is this possible! ”

"Duke Edward, the cultists of the New Temple are all White Flag Knights at the lowest level, and the highest of our heirs are the Golden Peak Knights, not to mention that their hands are tied, even if they can really move a sneak attack, with their attack speed, the cultists of the New Temple can immediately detect it, there is no such opportunity at all."

"Besides, there is no movement in the crowd ahead......"

Johnson and Bruno must not have believed Edward's speculation after hearing Edward's speculation, and immediately raised their own questions.

"You see eight blood lines on the ground now, and there were only five blood lines when I first looked at them!"

"At first, I thought it was those cultists of the New Temple who did not keep their promise and killed hostages indiscriminately, but then I found out that something was wrong, every time there was an extra blood line, one of the New Temple cultists in the crowd would freeze for a moment!"

"So, I think it's very likely that it's the blood of those New Temple cultists, someone sneaked up on them in the crowd!"

Edward's eyes shone a little as he looked at the crowd in front of him, and he wondered who could sneak in the crowd and silently harvest the eight White Flag Knights.

"This ...... Duke Edward, who can kill a White Flag Knight so quietly, and that crowd is our heir! ”

"I don't know yet...... But no matter who it is, if someone really kills the eight cultists of the New Temple, then we must be ready to do it at any time, so you go and inform the city lords in the back now, so that they are ready to do it at any time! ”

"By the way, the movement must be small, so that the cultists of the new temple can't notice the problem!"

In fact, Edward had a guess in his heart, if it was a youth, there was only one person who could kill the White Flag Knight quietly, and that only that young man would kill the god!

Edward also very much wanted the crowd to quietly solve the eight New Temple cultists who were killed gods.

Because of the relationship between the killing god and his granddaughter, he will definitely save his granddaughter.

At that time, even if the young killing god is not Marshall's opponent, as long as he delays Marshall for a moment and gives himself some time, then he can guarantee Adella's absolute safety.

Of course, this is all speculation, and Edward can't guarantee that it was really the killer, so she didn't tell Johnson and Bruno about it.

However, now is not the time to delve into these issues, whether it is a killer or not, it is the first thing to rescue his granddaughter and the other heirs of the Holy City.

And no matter what, Edward will go all out and will not pin his hopes on anyone!

Johnson and Bruno did not hesitate when they heard Edward's final explanation.

The two immediately agreed to Edward: "Okay, Duke Edward!" ”

If it was as Edward had suspected, then tonight's matter might be settled.

If not, the situation will not be worse, and everything will be clear when we get to the place where the mounts and carriages are kept.

……

And just as the two replied to Edward and were about to turn around, they suddenly saw a more obvious blood line on the ground appear at the feet of the crowd in front of them.

"This ...... It's the ninth blood line! ”

The two were slightly stunned for a moment.

Needless to say, the ninth blood line, which was obviously a little thicker than those ones, meant that another member of the new Temple had been quietly resolved.

Subsequently, the two people who were quite excited in their hearts did not dare to delay, and immediately began to whisper to the city lords in the crowd.

Gervais also did not expect that his actions would be discovered by the attentive Duke Edward.

For after the new temple members were completely silent, he would use their own clothes to shove them into their wounds to stop the bleeding.

In addition, tonight's night is pitch black, not to mention that you can't see your fingers, but if you don't look carefully, you will definitely not see the blood stains on the bluestone slab.

Otherwise, if Gervais hadn't done this, the bloodstains would have been noticed by the other members of the New Temple before Edward could find them.

……

Gervais was handing over the body of the last member of the New Temple to the young people on the side, and then began to quietly untie the ropes for the dozen or so young people.

When the rope was untied, Gervais slowly shifted his body and approached Marshall cautiously.

However, after a moment, Gervais realized that he still underestimated the alertness of Marshall, a strong man, only when Gervais moved slightly closer to a meter or so, and then put his eyes on the back of Marshall's neck.

Marshall, however, seemed to feel something, and immediately turned his head slightly and glanced behind him.

Gervais was shocked when he saw Marshall's actions, lowered his head as fast as he could, and narrowly escaped Marshall's detection.

……

Marshall glanced behind him, looked at the subordinates in charge of guarding behind him, and saw that everything was normal, so he frowned slightly and turned his head to continue scanning the left and right.

At this time, Marshall actually had a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from, because it was too dark for him to find out everything around him.

So, Marshall couldn't help but tighten the arm that grabbed Adella's shoulder, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand was a little closer to Adella's snow-white neck.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the place where the mounts and carriages were stored a few dozen meters ahead, Marshall didn't want any accidents here.

Because as long as they get in the carriage and stay in the carriage with the hostages, they are safe.

And as long as the carriage is safely out of the city gate of the City of Hope, then tonight's plan is basically a success.

Not only had the new temple outside the city already arranged to pick up the people who had been cut off, but they were also ready to flee separately.

Because the main target tonight is Adele in his hand, as long as Adele is brought back, the rest of the youth will be insignificant.

When the time comes, let your subordinates decide for themselves how to solve them.

If you can escape with the help of these hostages, then it doesn't matter if you let them go.

If there is no chance of escape, killing all the heirs of these holy cities before they die will surely be the most glorious feat of the new temple in recent decades.
