Chapter 490: What Are You Preparing to Accuse Me Of?

"Dokadi!"

"Eh, Minister Weilade, you're back! What incredible luck! We actually all survived!"

Seeing Weilade, Dokadi's face was filled with excitement and relief.

He had no idea that the superior before him had already formed the thought of killing him to silence him.

Instead of merely being relieved to have survived the disaster, he was also glad that his superior, Weilade, had likewise lived.

This was because he still remembered Weilade's previous promise to him: to recommend him for a promotion once they returned.

"Dokadi, I have something important to discuss with you. Come with me!"

"Yes, Minister Weilade!" Dokadi did not suspect a thing; ever since he had secretly contacted the Beastmen for Weilade last time, he considered himself Weilade's most loyal subordinate.

Thus, Dokadi followed Weilade into a small alley nearby.

"Minister Weilade, what is this important matter?"

Reaching the depths of the alley and seeing no one around, Dokadi could not help but ask.

"Let us speak in the small courtyard. It concerns your promotion after we return! This matter cannot be known by outsiders!"

Dokadi beamed with joy, nodding and bowing hastily. "Yes, Minister Weilade!"

Immediately, Weilade pushed open the gate of the small courtyard nearby first, then walked inside.

Dokadi followed closely behind, completely unaware of the murderous intent within the courtyard.

At the same time, inside the courtyard, Solite held his breath, having long been crouching behind the courtyard gate.

Seeing Weilade enter, he silently raised the long sword in his hand.

Then, Dokadi's figure also appeared within the gate.

Solite did not hesitate; he immediately aimed at Dokadi's head and brought his long sword down with a fierce strike.

The whooshing wind finally alerted Dokadi.

However, with his ordinary human physique, he was simply incapable of reacting.

He had not even managed to turn his head completely before the long sword was about to strike him.

Whoosh!

Clang!

But just then, a sharp whistle suddenly rang out, followed by the sound of metal colliding.

An arrow, shot from an unknown direction, directly deflected the long sword that was about to strike Dokadi's neck.

"This..."

Only at this moment did Dokadi finally turn his head completely, only to see Solite standing behind the gate with a vicious expression, the long sword deeply embedded in the muddy ground beside his feet.

"Damn it! Weilade, hurry!"

Solite reacted quickly; he did not even have time to investigate who had shot the arrow.

What needed to be done now was to kill Dokadi immediately to silence him.

Once Dokadi was dead, all evidence of their collusion with the Beastmen would vanish completely.

Even with the charge of killing Dokadi, they would not be sent to the gallows.

The relative weight of the matter was clear at a glance.

Weilade was originally still in shock.

Upon hearing this, he reacted quickly, gritted his teeth, pulled a dagger from his sleeve, and, taking advantage of Dokadi's stunned state, thrust it directly into Dokadi's back.

Whoosh!

Pfft!

But at this moment, another sharp whistle sounded, and a black streak also struck Weilade's wrist.

Causing Weilade to scream in agony, the dagger in his hand fell directly to the ground.

"Damn it, who is it!" Solite's face turned ashen.

If the first arrow had been shot while he was unprepared, he did not know the direction.

Then this arrow aimed at Weilade was shot while he was already on guard.

Yet even so, he had not discovered the archer.

Crash! Crash!

However, a moment later, a great commotion came from above his head.

A group of aerial knights and cavalry swept over the courtyard from above the city wall.

"Griffin Knights? Magic Swift Eagle Knights?!" Solite's expression changed drastically, and he immediately realized something.

Gritting his teeth, he simply disregarded everything, unleashed the battle qi within his body, and swung his sword to strike Dokadi.

"You seek death!"

These Griffin Knights that arrived were naturally Mik and the others.

Seeing that Solite still dared to make a move at this moment, Mik did not hold back; he hurled a lightning attack down.

Whoosh!

A sharp whistle sounded, followed by a crackling sound.

Instantly, Solite was entirely enveloped by lightning, frozen in place, dancing the霹雳舞 (霹雳舞).

For a full moment, the electric arcs on his body finally vanished completely, and Solite's body went limp, falling uncontrollably to the ground.

The greatest characteristic of a lightning attack is actually not the damage, but the paralyzing effect it produces.

Once struck, even those with the highest strength must be affected by the paralysis of the electric current; the only difference is the duration.

Therefore, although Solite had battle qi protection and would not suffer severe injuries, his movements were certainly restricted for a short time.

Seizing this opportunity, Mik and the others descended to two or three meters above the courtyard, then leaped down.

In an instant, Solit and Weilade were captured.

"Damn it, let me go! I am the Southern Region War Commissioner! You Griffin Knights have no right to arrest me, let alone harm me!" Controlled by Mick and the others, Weilade still struggled.

"They are Gervas's men!" Solit suddenly spoke up.

Clearly, he had already deduced the identities of Mick and the others.

"G... Gervas? H... how is that possible?" Weilade's body stiffened, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible, Weilade. Although a few of our army's Griffin Knights still survive, they are all severely injured!"

"Look at these Griffin Knights; they bear almost no scars, so they are that damn brat's subordinates!"

"Correct! Correct! Lord Solit guessed right! We are indeed the subordinates of My Lord Gervas!"

"My Lord Weilade, do not struggle anymore, or we will not mind letting you taste what a fist the size of a clay pot feels like!" Mick and the others wore smug smiles.

At this moment, a figure stood up on the roof next to the small courtyard; it was Akali!

It turned out that the previous two arrows were shot by Akali; they were fast and accurate, and she managed to evade Solit's observation.

However, Akali only revealed herself for a moment before vanishing from the rooftop in the next instant.

"You are Gervas's subordinates? Then you have even less right to arrest us! I warn you, release me and Solit immediately!"

"Otherwise, I will not be polite later. As long as I report this to the President, you will be guilty of insubordination, and you commoners are doomed!"

After a brief moment of shock, Weilade came to his senses and struggled even harder.

Mainly because Gervas's subordinates were not even as high-ranking as the Kingdom's Griffin Knights; they could only be considered commoners.

Therefore, they had even less right to touch someone of Weilade's high status.

"Is that so? Weilade, you actually want to report to the President? How convenient, I just happened to bring the President here!"

"By the way, it is not just the President, but also Duke Hernande and a host of nobles, great and small. Why not tell them what you plan to accuse me of?!"

Just then, a mocking laugh suddenly sounded outside the small courtyard, followed by a familiar figure entering the courtyard first.

"G... Gervas?!" Weilade's struggling body instantly froze, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"My Lord!" Mick and the others hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

Of course, following Gervas, the President, Duke Hernande, and a host of great nobles also filed in one after another.
