Chapter 918: 516 Watchdog

?!!! After hearing the notification from 【Secret Tail】, Leon's pupils couldn't help but shrink violently.

Something happened to Nicole? And it's been less than two hours since we 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 start.

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

"Wait a moment."

After waving his hand to signal Alger to wait, Leon gripped the 【Secret Tail】, which was the only thing that might know the situation, and asked hurriedly:

"What happened to Nicole? What about the Scorpio Director? Did they get ambushed?"

"Not clear."

【Secret Tail】 replied:

"About two seconds before I called you, Nicole's emotions fluctuated slightly, and then she told me to let you run quickly, and there was nothing after that."

Two seconds?!

Leon couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart upon hearing this.

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

On Nicole's side, there was one Zodiac Director, one Level 1 cleaner, and three senior Level 2 cleaners. Even if this lineup was besieged by three or five True Gods, they should be able to hold on for a while, right? How could there be no movement in just two seconds?

'Oh, there is another message.'

Just as Leon was suspicious, 【Secret Tail】 spoke again:

'Nicole asked me to tell you that they were ambushed at the Gemini Branch. Just after passing through the block partition wall, they were met with 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 they were directly hit by heavy firepower. More than half of the block was...'

"Boom!!!"

Seemingly to prove 【Secret Tail】's words, a deafening explosion came from afar, and the blocks in the upper layer of the Krolok Kingdom seemed to shake along with it.

'... were all blown away.'

After finishing the second half of the sentence, 【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 more than half destroyed, and then he was looked at by the snake eyes that appeared in the sky, and his soul was sealed in the 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 the Krolok Kingdom, and find a way to contact the Cleaning Bureau for help.'

"Understood."

Leon, with an ugly face, nodded and then, while the connection between the two sides hadn't broken yet, immediately said decisively:

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

'Oh.'

Just as 【Secret Tail】 responded and went to pass the message to the female reporter, Leon quickly relayed the current situation to Alger and then frowned:

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

"No..."

Hearing that three Level 2 cleaners had already been killed, Alger's eyes couldn't help but dim slightly, and then he shook his head:

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

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

Leon sighed upon hearing this and didn't continue to say anything, but sat down, frowned, and pondered. Alger, after waiting for a while, couldn't help but ask:

"Leon, didn't it say to run quickly? Then now..."

"No."

After shaking his head slightly, Leon refused decisively:

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

"But even the Director was ambushed!"

Seeing that Leon was actually "hot-headed" at this time and didn't want to abandon his companions to escape alone, Alger, while admiring his courage, couldn't help but say with some 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 withdraw from the Krolok Kingdom as soon as possible to 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 are dead!"

After glancing at Alger, Leon asked back:

"I ask you, what the Cleaning Bureau values most is being able to protect this royal family member and not let the Krolok Kingdom's bloodline be cut off. Then what does the other party value most?"

"That, of course, is..."

Hmm... no!

Speaking of this, Alger's expression froze, and 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 Krolok royal bloodline to reduce the effectiveness of the Watchtower!

And that means that Princess Feliya, who is in the hands of Leon and me, is the number one priority target. I'm afraid that as soon as the princess was kidnapped, someone was already monitoring all the ways to leave the Krolok Kingdom. If we withdraw immediately, the possibility of being caught is simply too high!

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

After recalling slightly, Leon 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 situation, it is almost impossible for us to escape with her. But if we continue to stay in the Krolok Kingdom, it's like a drop of water left 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, Leon re-attached the 【Secret Tail】 to Feliya's butt, handed her to Alger, and then instructed seriously:

"In this kind of situation, the first thing is to ensure that you don't get caught. After all, only if we are still alive do we have the 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 first, I'll be back soon."

"Ah? Where are you going?"

"The Dead World."

After sitting cross-legged on the chair, Leon 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 that so-called 'Guard of Death' authority, to put it bluntly, is the doorman of the Gate of the Dead... the doorman. I have the power to drive those who want to escape the Dead World back, or stop those who shouldn't enter the Dead World. It just happens to be useful at this time!" ===== CHAPTER 919 =====
