Inside Linden City, Dream Blue Hotel.

For an afternoon, Zahak's mood fluctuated like a roller coaster.

Around two o'clock.

The gendarmes who had gone to a secret harbor went missing, and the senior non-commissioned officer who had been sent to check on them did not reply.

At half past three, I received the news.

Edmund has captured Gloria and pursued his target, and will soon come to Linden City to join forces and return to the imperial capital.

And now.

Of the dozens of gendarmes killed by Caroso and Claude, two of them escaped with a morale breakdown, and the falcons raised by the gendarmerie reported that Edmund was not known if he was alive or dead, and that the target might pass through Lavender to reach the coast.

It was almost nightfall, and if Edmund had brought someone over in the first place, he would have arrived a long time ago.

There is only one possibility.

Edmund ...... That kind of man, actually died. ”

The two-meter-and-five-meter-tall leopard man couldn't believe it, he knew that he had come to work, and he carried a huge knife weighing more than three hundred pounds, which meant that he was going to intercept it on the road in Lavender Town.

"I'm the only one who did it."

Zahak's tone was calm, he had already laid a net, the official port of Linden City was airtight, and the rest of the ports were also patrolled.

Thinking of the group of gendarmes who lost contact at noon, Zahak had a plan in his mind.

"You go to the Admiral's Mansion now, and ask the Admiral to send troops to the main road of Lavender Town, saying that it is the commander of the Imperial Military Police, and he will be seconded some of them due to legal reasons."

Zahak's face was cold, and he stood up and commanded the Issu.

Although many of the besiegers stationed here are just related households that brush their resumes, they also have their own elites.

All means will end up in the same way, even in internal politics, and pay attention to a long-distance and close-range attack.

In the same organization, every peer is an enemy, a competitor who prevents him from climbing to the top of the current organization.

However, the people in other organs have to unite with each other to deal with competitors in friendly departments, and often not all the people under their own hands are their own people, and the people who are stuffed into each other's friendly organs are the most trustworthy.

In this way, it can operate flexibly in the imperial court, and the iron bucket slowly encroaches on the upper echelons of power.

However, almost everyone with the skill will do this, so it leads to the killing of the Imperial court.

Zahak must take care of the people who are stuffed in by his political allies, let them brush up their resumes, and of course, they must fight tough battles, and he has about 200 high-quality elite soldiers here.

"100,000 urgent, set off immediately."

Zahak immediately set off and took the Leopard Man with him, although this Leopard Man only had the rank of colonel, but because he had no military merits, his true level was not much worse than Edmund's.

After a quick reorganization, Zahak led the gendarmerie on the streets, and the people of Linden City cast hostile eyes along the way, and the foreigners were rampant in their homeland, and they were quite unhappy in their hearts, and they only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Ten minutes later.

It's almost night on the coast, and the winter monsoon is biting.

At the fork in the main road eight miles outside Linden, trees stood and weeds swayed in the wind.

The mighty team of 200 people was all carrying torches, and there was nothing to hide in a radius of several hundred meters.

From here, you can take a fork in the road to Lavender and another town, or you can take the rammed earth path on the side of another fork in the road to a secret harbor where the missing team went at noon.

When Zahak arrived here with his soldiers and horses.

The patrol gendarmes in this place have all been killed, the death of more than ten corpses is unbearable, it seems that someone is proficient in anatomical skills, the ulna radius of the arm of several corpses has been split from the middle, this kind of slashing is extremely weird, and the other parts are also like rib pieces hanging on the hook of the butcher's shop, the blood is well released, only fresh meat is left, it is extremely strange, unheard of.

The rest were disemboweled, and the corpses were clawed, as if they had been killed by fierce beasts.

"It's a little weird, fuck me."

A gust of wind blew, torches swayed, and the leopard people couldn't help complaining, this ghost place on the east coast is really evil.

"It's the guy who picked up Caroso and them, and he has some skills."

Zahak looked at the fork leading to the sea cliff cave more than ten miles away, as if he remembered something, Marcus actually ...... Is there really some kind of divine power? The location of that place is impressively the direction of the bloody hand stretched out under the "petition umbrella" tree.

Zahak has already made up his mind, his own group of people to intercept Caroso and them, there is naturally Marcus here, for the sake of insurance, he still sent a hundred people to the secret harbor to support, including several senior non-commissioned officers, can become a formation.

From now on, the troops will be divided into two ways.

Reportedly, Golia and the target were caught, but must have been rescued by the responders, and Zahak led the rest of the group on to Lavender to stop the people.

At this moment.

Secret Harbor.

Maika shook Finn awake as her thoughts flew by, and the men brought by Archer came back with two reports that there was a group of heavily armored priests and a giant more than five meters tall coming here.

"Damn."

Wollman never expected that his side was facing the Holy See's demons.

Fen also had no intention of using spirits to support the other two routes, and the plan could not catch up with the changes, and it seemed that there was something wrong with List's side, and those people actually locked up the secret harbor and closed the coffin, thinking that this ship was the ship that responded.

"Uncle, I like to kill church people the most."

Heywood imitated Wollman's words.

"Don't worry, I've got this in my hands."

Fen took out a sack from his arms, which contained the fragments of the Underworld Stone Tablet with the Demon Sealing Stone, although he had never tried it, and he did not dare to try it easily, if he was invincible by taking 10,000 steps back, if he used the Stone Tablet Fragment as a medium to perform necromancy, unless it was the High Priest of the Eternal Sect who came on the other side, he would not be an opponent.

Maika was in awe, this warlock was obviously super strong but overly cautious, too stable.

Meanwhile.

The other side.

Zahaq had already marched some distance on the main road to Lavendertown.

The road was built along the coast and gradually inland, when the air was a little hot, a heavy rain was about to fall, and heavy clouds obscured the celestial bodies above the star dome, and the visibility was so low that it seemed like midnight.

At this time, there were screams from the troops in front of the column.

Zahaq immediately ordered the advance to be halted.

"What's wrong?"

Zahak rode to the front, only to see a horse on the ground being disemboweled, the contents sprayed all over the ground, and the throat of the soldier riding on the horse was also scratched, not dead, only intermittently spraying blood, already in a near-death state, unable to be saved.

"I didn't see it clearly, a black shadow pounced and disappeared again, as if it were a giant wolf."

The soldier who was questioned was frightened by the scene just now, and he was a little uncomfortable to speak.

"What giant wolf...... It must be a werewolf coming down from the western plateau. ”

The leopard man also came to the front, presumably one of the murderers who had killed the patrol gendarmes just now.

The shadow suddenly burst out of the forest again.

Wren kept the strategy in mind, the small characters killed directly, and the big fish could be dragged out, but he really couldn't buy time, so he joined up with the main forces of Morrison and Oakes.

This time Wren didn't have that good luck.

Zahak was in front of the troops, and in an instant, he drew his sword and slashed, and the blood-red sword qi roared like a dragon.

Wren stretched out his gauntlet to block, his elbow joints almost dislocated, and a scratch on his steel gauntlet.

"You're the apprentice of the Alam Sword King, aren't you?"

Wren didn't dare to stay long, the human foot strength was different from his own, Rao was no matter how strong Zahak was, he couldn't catch up at all when he ran into the forest.

He whistled and ambushed a dozen pirates in the rear of the troops, not to kill, but to harass and weaken the force.

The pirates slaughtered a few people in the rear and immediately ran into the woods.

Wren himself galloped forward on all fours, and it was time for the real hunk to slaughter.

"Chase."

Zahaq understands that now the situation has turned into a war of annihilation.
