Chapter 2751: Rescue?

~10 min read 1,966 words

The night was like ink. Torches were inserted side by side on the city walls of the New Moon Fortress. Wolf Cavalry were on night watch, occasionally yawning.

On the battlefield, the Wolf Cavalry were impeccable—brave, fearless. As long as they were fed, they were willing to sell their lives, and they were loyal enough.

But in normal times, the Wolf Cavalry were somewhat lax. There wouldn't be any big mistakes, but expecting them to stare straight into the distance was impossible.

At this time, ten kilometers away from the Moonlight Fortress, in a temporarily excavated underground space, Zange and the others were setting up something.

"Is there no problem?"

In the flickering firelight, Zange stood beside a spell formation. This unique technology of the Duoyin Empire was mastered by the fat dwarf in the exploration team. This was a secret; if the Duoyin Empire knew, it would be very bad.

"No problem, but you only have one quarter of an hour. After one quarter of an hour, I won't be able to pull you back. This is still using the Elf race's gem; otherwise, you would only have one-third of a quarter of an hour."

The fat dwarf's hands were pressing on the ground; he was the leader of the spell formation.

"Then let's start. It must be accurate, ensuring we can enter the interior of the fortress."

Zange stepped onto the spell formation, his sister Vinika and the red-haired woman followed closely behind.

"It's starting."

The fat dwarf bit the gem in his mouth, and brilliance emerged on the formation diagram on the ground. When Zange and the three of them came to their senses, they were already between two stone houses. They had successfully infiltrated the Moonlight Fortress.

Almost at the same time, in a stone building far away from here, Su Xiao's eyes suddenly opened. He sat up from the bed. In the moment just now, he sensed the blood energy mark he had left behind—not close, but it was inside the fortress.

Su Xiao patted Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang awake, and the Checking Zhan Long Shan in its scabbard appeared in his hand.

Whoosh—the night wind blew the curtains, the window was wide open, and Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already disappeared from the room.

Inside the fortress, the snoring of the Gray Orcs rose and fell one after another. From time to time, one could hear cries of pain—it was the Gray Orcs' snoring being too loud, annoying the bad-tempered mount wolves, and they were bitten.

Three sneaky figures were moving quietly inside the fortress. They were all leaning against the walls, with Zange leading the way. Before coming, he had already known the location of the mount wolf leader. This was precious intelligence obtained after 37 Elf scouts died in battle.

Zange and the three of them traveled between the buildings. Soon they arrived near a large stone house. Without seeing Vinika make any moves, the few Wolf Cavalry in front of the large stone house suddenly fell down, snoring loudly along with the mount wolves.

Zange and the red-haired woman had long been accustomed to this. The three of them pushed open the door of the stone house and walked into the large stone house on tiptoe.

Inside the large stone house were two large iron cages. The one-eyed old wolf Lycaon and the mount wolf leader were both inside. Seeing this scene, Zange felt relieved in his heart. The Dimuye of the Elf race hadn't lied to him; the mount wolf leader, that is, the white wolf, was indeed imprisoned.

"White wolf, wake up."

Zange tapped lightly on the fence of the iron cage and whispered. Hearing this sound, the white wolf and the one-eyed old wolf both woke up.

"Human?"

The one-eyed old wolf's eyes showed confusion. Hearing it speak human language, Zange and the three of them were somewhat surprised, but after seeing the spell formation on its body, they understood what was going on.

"We have no malice. We will rescue you soon."

Zange showed a friendly smile and began to pick the lock.

"?"

"?"

The one-eyed old wolf and the white wolf were both very confused. Just now, the two of them were woken up and thought it was someone coming to deliver a midnight snack. They had eaten too much tonight and couldn't eat the midnight snack. Just as they wanted to scold away the Gray Orc who disturbed their beautiful dream, they discovered it wasn't someone coming to deliver a midnight snack, but someone coming to "rescue" them.

Don't think that the status of the one-eyed old wolf and the white wolf was low. In the Wolf Cavalry Legion, Su Xiao was the highest echelon, the second echelon was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Bahar, and the third echelon was Orc Hero Worpol, the one-eyed old wolf, and the white wolf.

"Sincere thanks to you all."

The one-eyed old wolf said this, but in reality, it was looking for the whereabouts of the Wolf Cavalry. This old bone of its had been kicked by Su Xiao last time and hadn't recovered yet. As for the white wolf, the white wolf's combat power wasn't very strong, only slightly stronger than ordinary mount wolves. The white wolf's strength lay in bloodline and resonance.

Creak—the white wolf's iron cage was opened. Zange signaled for the white wolf to come out first, but the white wolf retreated and prostrated on the ground.

Crack~

A crisp sound came, followed by the sound of chewing. Hearing this sound, Zange's body trembled, and he looked toward the source of the sound.

Through the door, on the roof of the wooden house opposite, a figure wearing a black velvet cloak was sitting on top, holding a Soul Crystal in its hand, chewing slowly.

A sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from beside Zange. It was the red-haired woman who rushed out. She drew two strange-shaped wide-bladed short knives from her back waist and charged toward Su Xiao with an extremely agile pace.

"Don't go!"

Zange shouted. He reached out with one hand and grabbed hard, the air in his hand crackling.

Boom.

A transparent wall fell in front of the red-haired woman, blocking her while also protecting her.

Zange lunged into the iron cage where the white wolf was, preparing to grab the white wolf. His goal was to take the white wolf away.

Clang!

A cyan-blue slash swept past. The iron cage containing the white wolf was directly slashed into two sections. Because the white wolf was curled up in the very back, it wasn't injured.

An arm fell with a thud in front of the white wolf. It was Zange's right arm. It was just one slash; if his reaction hadn't been fast enough, he would have been slashed into two sections by now.

Zange stepped back, blood scattering along the ground he passed. He crushed a gem in his hand, and gem fragments splashed everywhere.

"Woo-hoo~"

A cry of pain reached Zange's ears. Not far from him, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang jumped up in pain.

Xiang Bubu was somewhat unlucky. Just now, a piece of the splashing gem fragments happened to nail into its butt, causing it to detach from blending into the environment for a moment.

Boom—a surge of blood energy came. The large stone house where Zange was located shattered, and rubble splashed to the other side.

At this time, Zange's body was gradually becoming transparent. Vinika, as well as the red-haired woman ten meters away, were the same. This was a retreat plan prepared in advance. Zange certainly wasn't stupid; he knew how to plan before acting.

"Blade Dao · Time."

Thud~

An impact spread. Zange immediately felt that everything around him slowed down, the air as viscous as amber. He lowered his head instinctively, and a slash mark flew over his head, almost slashing off his skull.

At this moment, Zange felt that all the blood in his body was about to coagulate. Oppressive force, unparalleled oppressive force surged from his side, and his perception made his whole body feel like it was being pricked by needles.

At this moment, Zange felt the power in his body erupt completely.

Pfft!

Drops of blood splashed. Zange tilted his head, his eyes wide open, witnessing a scene that made him freeze on the spot. Ten meters away from him, the red-haired woman was now kneeling on the ground, her throat pierced by the Checking Zhan Long Shan, gurgling blood pouring out of her mouth, her hands clutching the blade of the Checking Zhan Long Shan.

"Quick... go."

Before the red-haired woman could finish her words, Su Xiao had already drawn his long blade and disappeared from the spot instantly. Around him, the sound of chains colliding appeared faintly.

"No!"

Zange roared, raising his hand, seemingly wanting to grab the red-haired woman from a distance. Unfortunately, the red-haired woman fell to the ground with a thud, losing her life breath.

Wind pressure swept past. A blood-stained long blade headed straight for Zange's head to stab. A transparent wall appeared in front of him, but it was only for an instant, and this layer of wall was pierced through. The tip of the blade was only a few centimeters away from his brow.

Zange disappeared on the spot, and Vinika did the same. The surroundings were full of broken building debris.

Su Xiao's gaze swept around the surroundings, and the long blade in his hand flicked. The transparent wall in front of him shattered.

Crack, crack~

Invisible chains shattered all over Su Xiao's body. This was the enemy's ability, somewhat troublesome. This thing seemed to be connected to the surrounding space... no, it should be connected to the surrounding world; otherwise, he could have left all three who infiltrated behind.

【Prompt: You have killed Princess of the Duoyin Empire, Seraphia.】

【You have obtained 6.52% of World Source.】

【You have obtained a Holy Spirit-grade treasure chest (29%).】

Seeing this kill prompt, Su Xiao's eyebrows raised. The Duoyin princess actually joined the protagonist team; this was very interesting.

"These few people came to rescue the white wolf."

The one-eyed old wolf gave a dry laugh. It actually also felt inexplicable. If they came to kill the white wolf, that would be very normal. As for coming to rescue, it was truly something that made people unable to understand.

"You find new iron cages yourselves."

Su Xiao left this sentence and walked toward the stone building where he was temporarily staying, going back to continue sleeping. He believed that the Son of the World would take the initiative to send himself to the door; it was just a matter of time.

Returning to the third floor of the stone building, Su Xiao helped Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang remove the gem fragments from its wound. After bandaging the wound, he lay on the bed and fell asleep. He was already accustomed to this kind of encounter battle.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang also fell asleep. In its dreams, Xiang Bubu occasionally hummed, as if it had a nightmare, and its hind legs occasionally trembled.

Sleeping until 6 o'clock in the morning, Su Xiao woke up. After a moment of blankness, he looked at the morning sun outside the window. It was time to attack the Aier Great Forest. As long as he captured that place, he could determine whether the Void Tree fruit was in the hands of the Elf Queen.

The War Overlord had just been promoted to seven stars not long ago. Su Xiao wanted to know how long it would take for the 500,000 Wolf Cavalry buffed by the War Overlord to capture the Aier Great Forest. ===== CHAPTER 2752 =====
