181: A narrow encounter

Thinking of this, Hippoon couldn't help but let out a long sigh, the deputy regent had obviously reached the point of betrayal at this time, I am afraid it would be difficult to hide from tonight, and there was no need for him to die with him.

So the Agmar warrior general nodded in a very depressed mood and said to the evil dragon, "You are right, there is indeed a secret passage that can lead directly to the refractive light enchantment hidden behind the Privy Council, but you will not be able to find it if there is no one to lead the way. Come with me, I can help you enter the secret passage, and I hope that when it is done, you will keep your word......"

After Hippocon finished speaking, he turned and walked forward, his staggering back looking very heavy and lonely. Elrens pouted and followed, and the two of them walked along a path behind the Privy Council, and after turning several corners, a stone wall suddenly appeared in front of them, and there was no way out!

Elrence was stunned, and then said angrily to Hippoon, "Boy, where is the secret passage? There is no way out here, you dare to fool me?!"

Hippoon also became angry at this time, glared at the evil dragon and scolded: "What's the hurry!

After scolding, he walked to the corner and groped for a while, and suddenly said, "This is it." ”

Elrens immediately walked over, only to see Hippoon pointing to a dark corner on the floor, and if you looked closely, you could see that it was imprinted with a faint pentagonal spell. Then he reached out and pressed it on top of the spell pattern, and entered a trace of mana.

The dragon was secretly vigilant, despite the disparity in strength between the two, and the Aghma warrior general had repeatedly promised not to play tricks. But after all, the other party belongs to the hostile camp, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no conspiracy. In case it's a trap right in front of you. If you accidentally capsize in the gutter, it's not worth it.

As Hippocon moved, the pentagonal spell glowed. Immediately after that, there was a rumbling noise from the stone wall in front of him, and the stone in the center suddenly retreated, revealing three eerie large black holes.

"This is the secret passage, the one in the middle that leads directly to the refractive fortress at the top of the tower...... Huh?" Hippocon was halfway through his words, when he suddenly stopped, and looked at the secret passage with a surprised expression.

Elrence hurriedly fixed his eyes, only to see that there were three figures faintly visible in the dark secret passage! Is there still a guard in the secret passage, or is it just a trap, and these three people are ambushing me here?! But these three people alone want to defeat the dragon. That's naïve, isn't it?

At this time, the three people in the secret passage also seemed to have spotted Elrence and Hippocon, they were stunned at first, and then walked over with the weapons at their waists in their hands very vigilant.

The middle-aged man walking in the middle was wearing heavy full-body magic armor, and only his eyes were not covered. He has a large black cross carved on his chest. Behind it is a Condor. Holding a large sword that is one and a half meters long, his eyes under the helmet are very sharp

It turned out that these three people were the chief of the Teutonic Order, Albrech, and two of his subordinates, who were trying to take a shortcut from the secret passage to leave the castle as soon as possible.

Although they knew that there was a secret passage in the Refractive Light Castle that led directly to the outside of the city, they did not know the details of it. After opening the entrance to the secret passage by mistake not long ago, they couldn't decide which of the three entrances to exit from, so they had to choose one at random. Unfortunately, this is not a secret passage to the outside of the city, but to the Privy Council.

When Albrech and the others reached the end of the secret passage, they were worried about how to open the exit from the inside. It just so happened that Hippoon activated the spell, and the two groups met head-on. Both sides were surprised and suspicious of the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in front of them.

The battle-hardened Albrecht quickly composed, for he had already seen one of the men in front of him, whom he also knew, as one of the generals of Mel'aglos. In order to clarify the situation as soon as possible, the chief of the knights pretended to be casual and asked first: "This is Your Excellency General Hippocon, isn't it? Didn't His Royal Highness the Deputy Regent of your country send you to stop the invading black dragon, how did you come here?"

"Huh? this ......"

Hippocon also recognized the other party at this time, and he hated these HRE messengers in his heart. As a subordinate of Melaculus, he always believed that the deputy regent did not actually have the intention of betraying the country, and was completely fooled by the spies of these enemies to get to where he is today.

After hearing the other party's question, the Agma warrior general's mind changed rapidly, and he immediately replied pretending to be: "Your Excellency, the invading black dragon has been killed by us!"

"Huh, the black dragon is dead?!"

Albrech was surprised that a giant dragon could be killed so easily?!Then he turned his head and looked at Elrens with doubts, although the black-robed man in front of him had never met before, he exuded a very strong and mysterious aura on his body. If the black dragon has really been killed, then there is no need to ask if it must have been done by the strong man in front of him!

Sure enough, Hippocon quickly introduced: "Your Excellency, this person beside me is a master invited from the Dark Continent by His Royal Highness the Deputy Regent, and it is thanks to his great help that we were able to kill the Black Dragon! ”

"Hehe, I see!"

Albrech finished speaking, regretting it in his heart. I didn't expect that there was such a strong man hidden under Melaculus's subordinates, even more powerful than Seleucus, the mysterious prize next to Perdiccas, and even the dragon was no opponent!

"Okay, why don't you go quickly, I heard that Seleucus's internal guard army is attacking very fiercely in the rear, and if you don't support it, I'm afraid it'll be too late!"

The chief of the knights, while annoyed, gave up the entrance to the secret passage, waved his hand and signaled Hippoon and the mysterious masters around him to leave as soon as possible, and he could continue to escape.

Unexpectedly, Hippoon did not move, but still blocked the front, glanced at him with suspicious eyes, and asked in turn: "Hasn't His Excellency the Chief of the Regiment always been by His Royal Highness the Deputy Regent, why did you come here again?"
