Alien world

Chapter 307 160. The Unbelievable Truth

"Haha, I thought you guys were going to be smarter these days."

The old mage laughed at them wantonly, in exchange for being whipped on the calf by the blade of the sword.

Said the guard and his companions: "Those golden lions that come running at night disturb me..."

"But the captain says the black-haired boy is the king in the north...they're not going to come at us with him."

"You're right, but I still have a bad feeling..."

"Then tell the captain, I'll be with you."

Two guards got out of the tent, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away. "So, what do you know?" A whisper sounded from the empty space.

"I know everything, such as you slaughtering your own people."

"Is what you said true?"

The outline of Annan appeared in the tent, and the old mage looked at him: "Are you the king of the north?"

"Please answer my question first." Annan looked at him seriously: "How do you prove what you said?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. They slaughtered Ghost Town and attacked several villages along the way..." The old mage laughed lowly.He was obviously exhausted, but excited: "Choosing to imprison me is their most stupid act."

"They're back, bring the news to your subordinates. King of the North...don't let me down."

"Don't be so troublesome."

Annan heard the footsteps, turned to the door of the tent, and said to the two guards who came in, "Why is there a prisoner here?"

"The news leaked!"

Shouting and drawing their long swords, the guards rushed at Annan's last chance.

Annan lowered his eyes in disappointment, an oval-shaped space rift appeared in front of him, and an outstretched dragon claw slapped the two guards away like a ball of paper.

The tent was torn apart, and the terrifying roar of the dragon echoed over the forest.

On the side of the Golden Lion Knight Squad, the knight captain raised his head in disbelief.

"Annan's signal...is really them..." After a short hesitation, he rushed out of the tent and shouted, "Do it!"

The dazzling azure blue dragon's breath raged across the camp, and the guard knights who were caught off guard by the surprise attack were then rushed to their faces by swarms of elements.

Only a few elite guard knights were unable to resist, and the battle ended in just a few minutes.

Annan still gave them the last chance: no killer was killed, and only the unlucky guard among the fifty guard knights was shot by the blue dragon and broke his neck after falling.The rest, including the cavalry captain and the clerk, were arrested.

Before the bonfire in the camp, the young knight captain asked in embarrassment: "King of the North, what are you doing!"

"I should ask you. Killing your own people, what do you want to do..."

"I don't understand what you're talking about..." The captain of the knight shook his head: "Do you believe in the slander of a prisoner?"

"You don't even want to say that it's because the townspeople were infected by the plague..." Annan felt sad, and said to the silent knight captain: "It doesn't matter, someone's mouth can be pried open."

Maureen and the mage Aemon interrogated the knights separately, but each knight insisted that they did not raid towns and kill civilians.That grit as if they were righteous.

"Master Annan, we should take them back to the capital and hand them over to the Knights Tribunal." Cavalier Captain Mo Lin said.

"You think a squad of cavaliers would do this without orders from above?"

"This can't be..."

Maureen shut his mouth.They massacred civilians, what else is impossible?

"Are you sure you don't want to tell me?" Annan asked them for the last time.

"We don't know anything." The knight captain insisted. "It's still too late for you to release us, King of the North, don't do stupid things..."

"Let the knights leave here first." Annan said to Mo Lin calmly.

"All knights, patrol the perimeter of the camp."

The knights withdrew from the camp, and only the elementals, the old mage, Maureen, and Aemon were left before the bonfire.

Annan held the contract of the trainee devil and released the low-level summoning technique.Searing flames and pungent brimstone emerged, and the burning campfire twisted and swelled into a humanoid flame with horns.

"How dare you collude with the devil! Maureen! Aemon! You have betrayed the knight!"

The mage Maureen and Aemon, who believed in the god of knights and guardian, had goosebumps because of the devil's breath, but their desire for the truth suppressed their hostility to the devil.

Moreover, the devils are relatively orderly. If Annan summons the devils, they can only attack and report to the court.

"A big deal."

Annan and Brudona, a trainee devil with little interest, said: "I will sell their souls to you, and there is only one deal: why did they do this."

The outline of the flame swept towards the controlled knights: "Not enough"

Annan frowned: "This is the soul of fifty professionals, and there are several elites."

"The devil smells plots... horrible plots. You don't trade what you want to know."

"I can give you gold coins"

"I do not need."

When Annan was still thinking about what he could trade, the old mage stepped forward: "Then add me?"

"enough."

"No, he wants to go back to the capital to testify." Annan refused, saying that the old mage was both a witness and a victim.

"It's okay, I can brand it and collect your soul after you die."

Under the insistence of the old mage, she accepted the trainee devil's branding on her soul, and then she told Annan: They were ordered by the Knights of the Imperial Guard.The Knights of the Praetorian do this because of royal instructions.The royal family's instructions were decided through joint discussions with the Mage Tower and the Orbs Academy.

"It's impossible!" Mo Lin's belief collapsed.

"You won't find a more reputable life in the abyss than the devil," Flame Profile said.

"Why do you do this kind of thing... Do you want to be loyal to the royal family, or to the creed?"

But no matter how I asked, there was no answer.

"Collect your payment." Annan said.

The flame formed by the trainee devil suddenly expanded.The flying sparks fell on the bodies of the knights, and their lives were like sparks, fleeting.

After falling to the ground continuously, the trainee devil hiccupped very unladylikely, and waved to Annan: "I am very satisfied with this transaction, and look forward to the next transaction with you..."

The smell of sulfur dissipated, the flames were no longer special, and the dancing flames licked their faces.

"Go back and tell everything that happened..."

Confused face.

Who else to trust?

They even broke into a cold sweat from their own horrible conjectures: the royal family, the mage tower, maybe the Ordance Academy... They stood with the Ratmen.

In any case, the Darkwood couldn't stay any longer.The knights prepared, and Annan came to the forest again at this time.

"are you still there?"

Not long after, the sense of nature told Annan that she was here.

"Irilanze reminds you to leave the Kingdom of Rikaner immediately..."

"There's going to be big trouble here."
