Chapter 1186: Watchdog

?!!!

After hearing the notification from the Secret Tail, Li Ang's pupils couldn't help but shrink violently.

Something happened to Nicole? It hasn't even been two hours since they parted!!!

"This is..."

Looking at Princess Feliya who suddenly appeared on the ground, Alger on the side was stunned for a moment, then stood up from the chair with a *thump*.

"Ruben's ability failed? Something happened to the director's side!!!"

"Wait a moment."

After waving his hand to signal Alger to wait, Li Ang gripped the Secret Tail, the only thing that might know the situation, and hurriedly asked:

"What happened to Nicole? Where is the Scorpio Director? Were they ambushed?"

"Not clear."

The Secret Tail replied:

"About two seconds before I called you, Nicole's emotions fluctuated slightly, and then she shouted for me to tell you to run quickly, and then there was nothing else."

Two seconds?!

Hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but be shocked.

From discovering that something was wrong to "disconnecting the link," only two seconds passed in total? How could it be so fast?

On Nicole's side, there was a Zodiac Director, a first-level cleaner, and three senior second-level cleaners. Even if this lineup was besieged by three or five true gods, they could hold on for a while, right? How could there be no movement in just two seconds?

'Oh, there is another message.'

Just when Li Ang was suspicious, the Secret Tail spoke again:

'Nicole asked me to tell you that they were ambushed at the Gemini Branch. As soon as they passed through the block partition wall, they were hit by a round of artillery fire.

I don't know why, but except for her, no one else reacted. Not a single person made a reaction and was hit directly by heavy firepower. More than half of the block was...'

"BOOM!!!"

As if to prove the Secret Tail's words, an extremely violent explosion came from afar, and the blocks in the upper layer of the entire Kroke Kingdom seemed to shake along with it.

'... were all blown away.'

After finishing the second half of the sentence, the Secret Tail, which never speaks unless necessary, took a breath and then spoke again:

'Nicole said that the other three cleaners died on the spot, the Scorpio Director's body was half destroyed, and then he was looked at by the snake eyes that appeared in the sky, and his soul was sealed in his half-destroyed body.

Although the Scorpio Director and she were still resisting, they had already lost. Nicole told you not to worry about her, immediately take Princess Feliya and escape from the Kroke Kingdom, and find a way to contact the Cleaning Bureau for help.'

"Understood."

Li Ang, with an ugly face, nodded, and then while the connection between the two sides was not yet broken, he immediately said decisively:

"You tell Nicole to shout 'The Aquarius Director is my father, you can't touch me!' immediately, and then shut up completely. Don't say another word to me. Unless we speak first, just treat the connection with you as non-existent!"

'Oh.'

Just as the Secret Tail responded and went to pass the message to the female reporter, Li Ang quickly relayed the current situation to Alger, then frowned and said:

"That's the situation. Do you have any way to contact the Cleaning Bureau remotely?"

"No..." Hearing that three second-level cleaners had been killed, Alger's eyes dimmed slightly, then he shook his head and said:

"To ensure that no matter what happens, the news can be passed back to the Cleaning Bureau, the Celestial Mirror that can contact remotely has always been with the director, but..."

But it was the Scorpio Director who had the accident, and with his body half destroyed, he might not have time to use the Celestial Mirror.

Li Ang sighed when he heard this and didn't continue to say anything, but put the unconscious Feliya back on the chair and pondered with a frown. Alger on the side, after waiting for a while, couldn't help but ask:

"Li Ang, didn't they say over there to run quickly? So now..."

"No."

After shaking his head slightly, Li Ang refused decisively:

"We can't run now, we must stay!"

"But even the director was ambushed!"

Seeing that Li Ang was "hot-headed" at this time and didn't want to abandon his companions and escape alone, Alger, while admiring his courage, couldn't help but say with slight annoyance:

"The director's side had such a strong lineup and still fell. What can we do with just the two of us?

Right now, the most important thing we should do is take this damn princess and escape from the Kroke Kingdom as soon as possible, avoid the complete failure of this mission, and then immediately seek help from the General Bureau!"

"We can't withdraw. If we really withdraw, we'll be dead!"

After glancing at Alger, Li Ang asked back:

"Let me ask you, what does our Cleaning Bureau value most? It's being able to protect this royal family member and not let the bloodline of the Kroke Kingdom be cut off. Then what does the other party value most?"

"That, of course, is..."

Hmm... No!

When he said this, Alger's expression suddenly froze, and then sweat appeared on his back.

The Cleaning Bureau wants to protect this princess most, so what the other party wants most is naturally to kill this princess and completely cut off the bloodline of the Kroke royal family to reduce the effectiveness of the Watchtower!

And that means that Princess Feliya in his and Li Ang's hands is the number one priority target. I'm afraid that as soon as the princess was hijacked, someone was already monitoring all routes out of the Kroke Kingdom. If they withdrew immediately, the possibility of being caught would be very high!

"Alger, on the way here, I simply observed the terrain around the Kroke Kingdom from the porthole of the airship. Except for a large seaport in the west, the other three sides are all plains."

After recalling slightly, Li Ang said with a solemn expression:

"My ability can only confuse the perception within the range at close and medium distances, ensuring that I will definitely not be discovered. But long-distance observation like a watchtower can still find us.

In this case, it is almost impossible for us to take her and escape. But if we continue to stay in the Kroke Kingdom, it's like staying as a drop of water in the ocean. The other party won't be able to find us."

"But... if we don't leave, how can we notify the Cleaning Bureau?"

"That's something to think about later."

After shaking his head slightly, Li Ang put the Secret Tail back on Feliya's butt, handed the person to Alger again, and then instructed seriously:

"At this time, first ensure that you are not caught. After all, only if we are still alive will we have a chance to notify the Cleaning Bureau. Right now, we can only hope that the other party thinks Princess Feliya died in the ambush and will slowly relax the surveillance outside the kingdom... You help me watch her, I'll be back soon."

"Ah? Where are you going?"

"Dead World."

After sitting cross-legged on the chair, Li Ang closed his eyes and said:

"After eating the Three-Headed Dog God, I temporarily inherited a small part of its authority and can enter and exit the Dead World at will.

And its so-called 'guarding death' authority is, to put it bluntly, the doorman... the gatekeeper of the Gate of the Dead. It has the power to drive back those who want to escape from the Dead World, or stop those who shouldn't enter the Dead World. It comes in handy right now!"
