The discovery by the True Eye or their enemies had been expected by Curt, after all, they had rushed all the way to this place, leaving a huge mess in their wake.

At first, he did want to investigate the colony without being seen, but after the entrance to the ruins was discovered by the Guardians, he abandoned the plan. Because the two of them were already noticed when they were engaged in the battle with those "enemies" with inhuman appearance.

From the appearance of the guardians, they appear to be the same group as the intruders, with a sludge-like black slime covering their bodies. Not only that, but the members of the Eyes of Truth who were consumed by the sludge did not attack them, but instead seemed to be following their orders.

"It's coming, a little slower than I thought. ”

Curt turned his head to look at the only entrance to the temple, and propped the metal rod in his hand to his side: "Are those guys so slow to react and catch up with us until now, or are someone deliberately letting us go here and let us see what happens to these people?"

Curt must admit that the mage, whose body has become abnormal under the transformation of black mud, is some difficult opponent. While each of them is not as powerful as the chimeric soldiers in the hands of the Eyes of Truth, their astonishing ability to recover makes them quite difficult to deal with.

It took more time to fight them than Curt had expected, and it didn't have a decisive outcome for them. If it weren't for Lizzie's powerful spell that blew all enemies away in one go, they would still have tripped up at the entrance.

Lizzie's simple and crude spell bombardment destroyed all the Guardians and dispelled the strange sludge that had wrapped around the Wizards. But such a large-scale spell undoubtedly attracted the attention of those people. Alert them that there is another force active within the stronghold.

Perhaps the manipulators didn't know that it was Curt and Lizzie who created the chaos, as the two men who had been imprisoned in another area were not in their sights. However, at the time of the investigation at the production plant. They had been spotted by the sight that was watching from afar—no doubt that their identities had been exposed to their vigilance since then.

The forces investigating the Eye of Truth in Catrice City know that few have caught their fox tails now. Instead, they put it on the table. In contrast to the inactive investigators, the current incursors of the colony are unknown, but the attackers have breached the Eye of Truth stronghold directly from within, and have succeeded in killing many unsuspecting mages.

Curt didn't think that the forces entrenched in the city really could not achieve anything, they had been rooted in this land for many years, and they had their own intelligence network and could find out the identity of their enemies. However, their movement has not been able to keep up with the attackers, and no one has yet launched a counterattack against the True Eye.

It's not that their ability to obtain effective information is too weak, it's that the True Eye, as an underground organization that has been hidden in the Dominion for many years, is too good at hiding itself. Thinking about it this way, there are not many answers to the question that the person who attacked the Eye of Truth now has a good ability to meet the conditions.

"I'm guessing they want us to see what happens to these sorcerers. Lizzie glanced sarcastically in the direction the footsteps were coming from. The other party obviously had no intention of hiding, "Look at their self-righteous attitude now, it's like putting pressure on us." ”

The sound of footsteps coming from outside the temple revealed that there was only one person, and that he was deliberately moving around in a way that would make a loud noise. Indeed, as Lizzie said, the other party was pressuring the two of them - as if to tell them that he could easily knock them out.

The arrogant attitude of the other party was just that the louder and louder footsteps of Tong Guò were clearly presented in front of Curt and Liqi. It's unclear how "powerful" he is, but Curt doesn't think it's likely that he's going to enjoy dealing with such a person.

The sound of unhurried footsteps slowly approached, and finally turned into a tall figure. Appears not far from the entrance to the collapsed colonnade.

It was a familiar figure, wrapped in a pitch-black waterproof jacket, as if it had been condensed directly from the deepest darkness. It was the man who appeared in the office on the second floor of the Southwind Tavern, and the horrific scar left on his throat was still reminding Curt of his identity.

Originally, there were many strangely shaped scars on his body except for his throat, which were once displayed on his body like medals. But now. The scars were gone, and in their place was a black "fog" that appeared around us.

Although the appearance seems to be a little different, the momentum has not changed in the slightest. The man was still the same as he had first seen Curt at the Southwind Tavern. There is no flaw in his body, even if someone wants to find his dead spot for a sneak attack. It is also difficult to put it into practice.

Behind him was a strangely shaped sword, a large piece of metal that had not been contained in its scabbard, with undulating blades like waves. However, this long sword, which is almost two meters long, has a blade that is one palm wide. It looks like a murder weapon born entirely for the sake of slashing.

The thick blade wasn't as sharp as Curt's favorite long knife, but just by looking at its terrifying specs, you could imagine its exaggerated slashing ability. Curt couldn't figure out the meaning of the greatsword, it didn't seem to be designed to deal with humans.

The human body is far more fragile than imagined, and if it is not deliberately protected by armor, it is enough to use weapons of the usual specifications. If you imagine it, you can see - why chop people to pieces when you only need to hit the point to kill the enemy?

This unimaginable weapon undoubtedly exuded a full sense of oppression, but the black mist surrounding the opponent's body undoubtedly exuded an even more dangerous feeling. Gathering and dispersing, the dim black mist was alive like some kind of living thing, and surrendered to the man.

They had the same filthy aura as the black mud of the sorcerers, but they were much milder than they were. If the unchecked sludge is called a beast, then the black mist that entangles this man is a tamed beast that has been trained to be more dangerous than its own kind.

Seeing the Leinster siblings who were looking at him vigilantly, the man laughed quite easily, and he didn't seem to take the two of them seriously.

"Hmph, Mr. Leinst, we haven't seen each other for a while. ”

His voice was still hoarse, and even the mocking smile on his face did not change: "Cadfield is right, you are a guy with excellent abilities. To be honest, I thought you were just a normal person, but now it seems that you are much more capable than most Iron mercenaries - if it were that waste, you would have died in that dungeon. ”

He laughed loudly, and his tone sounded like a compliment to Curt, but if you looked closely, there was not the slightest smile in his eyes. There was a hint of murderous intent seeping into the cold air, as if they were testing Curt, spreading silently around him.

What appeared in front of him was that this man did make Curt feel a little surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. It was he who had sent himself and Lizzie to this stronghold that belonged to the Eye of Sight, and Curt had thought he was in league with the magicians.

But now it seems that this is not the case, and this man may have ostensibly formed a cooperative relationship with the True Eye, but he has now changed his mind. Most likely, he just wanted the sorcerers to take him to the colony and carry out his plans for the attack.

"Is that really the case? I really appreciate you as an adult. Curt laughed indifferently and replied in a tone similar to his, "But I guess you're not acting on behalf of the Mercenary Administration, but for some other force, right?"

Infiltrating the stronghold of the Eye of Truth and launching an attackAlthough he is the only one who has come now, it is unlikely that this qiē plan is being carried out by him alone. There are as many enemies as the Eyes of Truth have, and what they're doing now alone is enough to make them wanted by the entire Osataria Dominion. But the Ultramarines standing behind them were not easy to deal with, they hid well, and they were still accumulating strength.

Perhaps this man was just one of the members of a sprawling organization that was hostile to the Ultramarines, and that the organization was still using him to control the Zhì Mercenary Administration. Curt doesn't know his position in the organization, but he wields a lot of power in the administration.

Curt couldn't help but smile bitterly, what the hell is going on?

At first, I thought I was just taking on a slightly troublesome task, but I didn't expect to unknowingly involve a qiē around me. It's like a bottomless swamp, and if you accidentally step into it, it's hard to get out of it, and you can only watch yourself sink deeper and deeper.

"Mr. Leinster, I have to say that you are very smart, but smart people sometimes don't know how to protect themselves. The man laughed mysteriously, "You know, if it's some 'smart person', he's already dead when he says this." ”

The man sneered sarcastically, and although he didn't draw his weapon, his eyes shot at Curt like an arrow. The suppressed murderous aura erupted in an instant, and they pierced Curt's body like sharp swords, and the sharp chill made Curt's scalp tingle for a while.

Looking at Curt who was unmoved by the killing intent, he continued: "But if it's you, Mr. Leonster, I'll give you a chance." Joining us or disappearing unnoticed -- I don't think it's something that takes time to think about, right?"

His hand was already on the hilt of his sword. (To be continued......)
