Chapter 445: The Crown Prince Arrives

After the intense battle.

Powerful Battle Qi and devastatingly destructive Magic left the central area of Taersi Town a scene of utter devastation.

Luoning looked around, feeling somewhat dazed; he had clearly just killed so many Witch Soul Knights, yet now only he and Suofeiya remained, with no corpses on the ground, making it seem as if only the two of them had been locked in a fierce battle.

"How is it, are you exhausted?" Suofeiya asked.

Luoning nodded, then stood up: "Although I am exhausted, this battle has improved me quite a bit, and it has also made me realize that in the face of a massive number of Witch Soul Knights, Silver Moon-level strength is still not quite enough."

"At any time, one needs to have one's own subordinates."

Suofeiya said: "Relying on one's own strength alone might work for beheading generals and seizing flags, but clearing out all the evil forces would exhaust you to death."

Luoning deeply agreed.

"Let's go, we must leave this place."

The two sat back on the Magic Flying Carpet and headed toward Anbian City.

As they left, Luoning noticed that there were still quite a few survivors in Taersi Town who had taken the opportunity to escape.

Without the guards of the Witch Soul Knights and soldiers, these people finally had a chance to escape their torment.

Luoning channeled his Battle Qi and shouted loudly: "Yueguan Valley has already fallen into the territory of demons; if you want to survive, head northeast. Anbian City in Wushan Territory welcomes all the unfortunate."

His voice, like a thunderclap and a booming bell, clearly spread to every corner of Taersi Town.

Those who were fleeing froze in place, and it took several dozen seconds for some to react and flee in the direction of Anbian City.

Suofeiya looked at Luoning intently, her understanding of the latter's kindness growing by another notch in her heart.

"You are actually willing to accept them; aren't you afraid there might be spies from Yueguang Valley among them?"

Luoning smiled and said: "They are basically all innocent victims; if I can help them continue to live, I will. As for spies..."

He thought for a moment and added: "I will settle them in Jushi City, far away from Anbian City; even if there really are spies, they won't be able to pass on any information."

Suofeiya nodded slightly, "Such an arrangement is good; I will also help you screen these people to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."

When the two returned, they passed by the temporary camp Ruidar had set up at the border. Luoning notified Peiteluo and Hameng, who were in charge of camp affairs, to let the refugees fleeing from Taersi Town pass through and had several soldiers escort the refugees to Anbian City.

Furthermore, after returning to Anbian City, Luoning wrote a letter to the Administrator Sailin in Jushi City, asking him to prepare to receive this batch of refugees.

Three days later, several Griffins arrived in the sky above Taersi Town, one of which, a Jinyu Griffin, was the most conspicuous.

Gold is the mark of a king among Griffins, representing that this Griffin had reached the Level 6 Magic Beast tier.

The owner of the Jinyu Griffin was none other than the Crown Prince Jialete, who had come from Golden Feather City.

Accompanying him, besides his five Knights, were Buluoer, as well as the Count of Yueguang Valley, Hesusu, and his two Knights.

Ten Griffins circled above the giant crater.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, look, this is what my town looks like after being attacked!"

Hesusu said with a cold face: "The murderer not only destroyed my town but also slaughtered tens of thousands of people in the town. For such a cruel criminal, I hope the Royal Family can step forward to uphold the authority of the Kingdom's laws and the dignity of the nobility!"

Jialete frowned, driving the Griffin down to land on the edge of the giant crater.

He carefully examined the situation of the giant crater; all the ground within a fifteen-meter radius from the center of the explosion was scorched and charred, which should have been caused by Fire Attribute Magic.

Jialete judged: "If my guess is correct, this crater should have been caused by the Level 8 Fire Attribute Magic 'Flame God Roar'."

The others also landed.

Buluoer was slightly distracted and said: "Fire Attribute Magicians, there are only two known ones, but one is far away in the Jistana Duchy, and the other has lived in the Amethyst Count Territory for years..."

"It is very clear that there is another Fire Attribute Magician."

Hesusu sneered, "The closest place to Taersi Town is Anbian City in Wushan Territory. As far as I know, Suofeiya, who accused me at Auduin Hall, has already arrived here. No need to guess, this is definitely her masterpiece!"

He said in a deep, indignant voice: "Wushan Territory, this is invading the territory of other nobles!"

Buluoer frowned, "But that Suofeiya used Water Attribute Magic at the time."

"Multi-attribute Magicians are very common, my Deputy Commander!"

"Alright, no need to argue about the murderer here!"

Jialete leaped onto the back of his Griffin, "Why don't we just go to Anbian City for an interrogation?"

Hesusu immediately followed: "That is exactly what should be done; for such an invasion, the person who committed the crime of massacre should be executed!"

Buluoer watched the direction in which everyone flew off, and in his helplessness, he also jumped onto a Griffin and followed.

When he came, Jialete had not informed him of the purpose of this trip, but he seemed to understand a little now.

This was likely a trick to unite with Yueguang Valley to suppress Wushan Territory.

After all, Wushan Territory currently had a bit too much top-tier combat power; if this Suofeiya could be stripped away from Wushan Territory, that would be for the best.

Facing the pressure from the Royal Family, as a vassal, Wushan Territory seemed to have only one path: to agree, right?

If Wushan Territory were to be labeled as traitors, then the situation would be dire.

It's just that...

Buluoer looked down from high in the sky; Taersi Town had indeed experienced a fierce battle, and the central area had been razed to the ground.

But in such a battle, not a single corpse was seen.

This was very strange.

Buluoer did not believe that Hesusu could have cleaned up the battlefield so quickly.

"So, Hesusu is indeed of the Witch Soul Clan, and the people of Taersi Town were also of the Witch Soul Clan."

He had experienced the war with Black Python City and understood that these Witch Soul Knights and soldiers would not leave corpses behind after death.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is cooperating with demons!"

Buluoer's heart felt heavy; reason told him that doing this would easily lead to a backlash and bring about an uncontrollable situation.

But as a Knight loyal to the Auduin Family, Buluoer had no way to change such a situation.

"It looks like the peaceful situation within the Kingdom is also about to be broken."

Buluoer made the Griffin beneath him speed up to keep up with the team; he was very curious, what choice would Luoning make in a moment?

Very quickly, the ten Griffins flew over the border between Yueguang Valley and Wushan Territory.

"Look, they have already deployed their army at the border; this is clearly preparation for an attack on Yueguang Valley!"

Hesusu said: "Openly invading the territory of another noble, and this territory even bears the name Auduin, this is treason! Jialete, this is treason!"

Jialete narrowed his eyes.

He knew what considerations led Wushan Territory to make such arrangements, but since they had chosen to protect Hesusu, there was no reason to give up easily.

Could it be that Wushan Territory truly had the audacity to openly provoke the authority of the royal family and start a war?

On what grounds?

Just on the strength of two Silver Moon Knights and one Archmage?

On the ground, the Knight responsible for guarding the camp saw the Griffins sweeping past.

"Look quickly, it's Griffins, and a Jinyu Griffin too!"

"They are Griffins coming from Yueguang Valley!"

"Quick, go report this immediately!"

The sound of a Horn rang out in the camp, and then two warhorses galloped out; the people on the horses were none other than the two Meteor Knights, Peiteluo and Hameng, who had been transferred to the camp.

"Everyone else, stay alert!"

While issuing orders, the two of them rushed toward Anbian City.

They were clear on what Luoning and Suofeiya had done a few days ago, and now ten Griffins had come from Yueguang Valley.

With such a large formation, they were very worried about Suofeiya's safety. (End of chapter)
