Chapter 610 - 327: The King’s Summons (Part 3)
"There is a mysterious power in Rapids Castle; the Giant-eyed Tyrant ’Hillarack’ has been slain," White Mann said calmly.
"What!"
Ussure and Grissur’s faces turned pale instantly, showing shock!
"Yes, sir."
The two replied in unison.
Faced with achievements, naturally, one’s own life is more important.
Thus, a group of over twenty people quickly boarded the already arranged griffins and flew toward the southern sky.
However, just after leaving Bornberry.
White Mann controlled the griffin to stop, looked up at the sky on the right, and said in a deep voice, "Who is there?"
Seeing their master like this, the elite members of the Talin Association behind, including Lilith, Ussure, and Grissur, became vigilant and prepared for combat.
"White Mann, you can’t escape!" At this moment, accompanied by an elegant female voice, Leonore’s dignified figure appeared in mid-air.
At the same time, Harold and Chandler’s figures also emerged in the air on the other two sides.
The three stood in a triangular formation, surrounding the members of the Talin Association.
"I’ll hold them off, you retreat separately," Raine, disguised as White Mann, said in a low voice.
"Sir, you..."
"Don’t worry, they won’t be able to stop me."
This made Ussure and Grissur, who were accustomed to conspiracies and intrigues, feel a bit moved, a feeling that ’despite White Mann’s flaws, he is indeed a good leader’ naturally arose.
And Lilith, looking worried, reaffirmed to the two that Lilith and White Mann had a thing going on.
"Necromist!"
With a raise of White Mann’s hand, a large mass of black-gray mist appeared out of thin air and rapidly spread, covering the elite members of the Talin Association behind them.
"Go!"
Lilith, Ussure, and Grissur each controlled their griffins to retreat in different directions.
In less than ten seconds, a clear sound of a sword being drawn echoed in the sky—’shing!’
"Ah!!!" Raine faked White Mann’s voice, letting out a scream!
The gigantic sword shadow in the sky made Ussure and Grissur’s souls jump with fright. Without hesitating, they tore their Any Door Scrolls and instantaneously vanished from the spot.
"Damn! It turned out to be ’Omen Sword’, the legendary powerhouse of the Soladin Kingdom! How did he come too!"
"White Mann might be doomed!"
....
"Nice acting. Shall we head back now?" In the sky, Leonore stood beside Raine, smiled as she looked at the talon of the Talin Association being wiped out, except for the three of Lilith.
Leaving Ussure and Grissur was to cover Lilith and make the entire assault appear more rational.
Conversely, if only Lilith returned to Winterless City on her own, undoubtedly, she’d face nearly harsh scrutiny, interrogation, and possibly even death.
On the other hand, if Lilith were to be recalled, her value would significantly diminish.
Thus, prior to the action, Raine and Leonore had already discussed the entire battle strategy—
Eliminate all others, but have Lilith, Ussure, and Grissur escape with the impression of a narrow escape, while the deceased ’White Mann’ shouldered the previous doubts.
"By the way, Raine, at the royal banquet tonight, my brother, Galin Soladin wishes to speak with you," Leonore said, her deep lake-blue eyes gazing at Raine.
Galin Soladin?
Isn’t he the current King of the Soladin Kingdom and Henry’s father?
"My honor."
"Yes, but please don’t take everything my brother says seriously." At this moment, Leonore seemed to have thought of something, her dignified face slightly reddened as she added a sentence.
"Uh... okay." Raine was a bit puzzled but still nodded.
