King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 849 Tit for tat
"Maybe there is no need to let them retreat at all?" Looking at the scene below, the lady hiding in the night complained slightly.

The nimble fire butterfly was flying in the low sky, and below it, a group of flashing figures were chasing each other, which looked very lively.

Hatred gives power but also takes away something, usually reason.

After discovering that the mysterious attackers below were so easily lured away, the lady regretted her previous order.

Of course, it was just a little bit. In her opinion, the support from the headquarters was just a drop in the bucket for the battle in the palace - unless they could call back one of the high-end combat forces sent out.

"Haha, it's still useful. After all, without those people on guard, it's much easier to approach you."

As the lady gasped, she felt a cold touch on her neck. It was an extremely cold breath, and no one would doubt its power.

But for ladies, this seems a bit too much.

"Mond's cavalry captain? Don't tell me the Knights of Favonius were involved in today's incident."

The lady reached out to touch the cold air on her neck, and there was no trace of frostbite on her hand. This little bit of temperature was far less than the coldness of her suppressed flame.

"It's just a joke. I'm here to visit Dongdong for the real reason. Travel, travel."

Seeing that his threats had no effect on the lady, Kaia smiled and backed away.

The lady turned around, and the person in front of her was just as she said, Kaeya, the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius.

"Don't you think this is a bit too coincidental, Captain of the Cavalry?"

"I thought so too, so I came out to take a look."

Kaia shrugged, as if he didn't care at all that the lady would misunderstand him.

"What are you doing here? I'm too lazy to go around in circles with you." Seeing Kaiya's calm expression, the lady waved her hand irritably.

In the past, she needed to prepare for a long time in advance to deal with such people. In the current situation, she really didn't have the energy to deal with him slowly and figure out his purpose.

"I want to find out what happened in there and who was in there."

Seeing this, Kaiya didn't waste any time. He put away the playful expression on his face and turned serious. The speed at which his expression changed was shocking.

"Why should I tell you."

The lady just sneered when she heard this. She had already vaguely guessed the purpose of Kaiya looking for her.

The attackers in the palace were clearly divided into two waves. One wave was Zeen and his group. These people had distinct characteristics and rushed directly into the palace without any disguise.

The other wave was Diluk and his group. Their equipment was obviously much more professional, with night clothes, masks, and enchanted essential oils on their weapons. They concealed every aspect of themselves - although Kunolos took off his outer clothes after the fight.

The lady thought about it carefully. The red hair, the big sword as a weapon, and Kaeya who happened to appear behind her...

The cavalry captain of Mondstadt has an older brother named Diluc.

The lady had the answer in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

"We can exchange information."

Kaia glanced at the lady, and after the initial surprise, there was no other expression on her face, making it difficult to see clearly.

[Diluk, I'll make you look bad when I find you! ]

The waiting process was so torturous that Kaeya couldn't help but curse Diluk in his heart.

He was only half a step slower than Diluk in entering the winter, but this half step made him completely unable to find Diluk.

Kaeya vaguely remembered the changes in Diluk after he returned from his travels. He became more secretive and busier. This made Kaeya wonder if he had joined some special organization.

This tracking was the result of his long-term attention. Diluk did meet someone, and then he left Mondstadt.

Kaiya originally wanted to go and take a look, but now the person has disappeared.

Were the people below from Diluk's organization? Kaeya didn't know, and to be honest, he was quite scared. After all, although the group of people below were young, they fought incredibly frantically, as if they didn't care about life and death.

"What information? If it's about the whereabouts of your Grand Commander, forget it." The lady seemed nonchalant.

Kaiya glanced at the lady. There was a constant roar coming from the direction of the palace in the distance. If he delayed any further, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but run over to investigate.

"There is a group of people, very similar to the group below, who have sneaked into that location." Kaia turned and pointed to the other side of Winterfell. It was a tall palace complex that was not affected by the war. The icy colored glaze reflected the cold night, which seemed to make Winterfell even colder.

"That direction..."

The lady turned her head and her pupils suddenly contracted. She thought of the worst possibility.

"Where do so many bold guys come from!" After secretly spitting, the lady quickly strode over.

But before leaving, she told Kaia what she wanted to know.

"Your brother, the red-haired one, is in the mourning hall. You'd better pray that those people don't get the Heart of God, otherwise everyone left in the mourning hall will die!"

After saying that, the lady rushed to the mourning hall with all her might. She felt anxious but also a little bitter.

Just escaped and now have to go back again, what's this?
Kaiya stayed where he was for a long time before he uttered, "Heart of God..., brother, you really know how to cause me trouble..."

……

"Squeak!"

A spiral beam of orange-yellow light rushed over, leaving a deep and lingering afterglow in the distance.

The clown rubbed his temples. The pain in his brain lasted for a long time, which made him wonder: "Where did you get this kind of power?"

"If you stay in this dark corner for a year or so, maybe the gods will grant you this power."

"Oh!"

A huge flame exploded, and this time it was better, a flame that was completely different from ordinary flames.

The only tricky thing is the diversity of these flames. These fires are both annihilating and healing.

But no matter what, in the face of absolute power, this flame seems a little too small.

"I will know." The clown glanced at the crowd surrounding him and said lightly.

Wearing a loose coat, the clown's speed suddenly increased to an extremely high level.

The figure flashed, and all the boys and girls who surrounded him flew away. In front of this ghostly figure, only Diluk held out for a while, but only for a while.

"boom!"

"Ahem... ahem! The gap in strength... is too big!"

Diluk held up his great sword, his mouth filled with the smell of blood. The gap in strength between them and the Clown was so great that the Clown could suppress them with just his fists and feet.

"Hehe, at least... we can give some warnings to those who come after us."

The scroll in Kunolos's hand burned to ashes. In the secret archive room, many words were added to the blank scroll. This was the only thing they could do at the moment.

"Do you think there will be a future for you?" The clown shook his head when he heard what Kunolos said.

But Kunolos just laughed: "Hahaha, no one came later? Then what is this here? What is outside?"

The Clown looked around. Apart from observers from the Northern Continent Intelligence Network like Diluk and his companions, the rest were all naked young boys and girls.

"Hiss..., until you resolve that vague 'heavenly principle', there will always be people who come after you."

"After all, to us, you are the 'heavenly law' that needs to be eliminated."

Diluk and Kunolos helped each other to stand up. They smiled at each other and raised their weapons again.

"Really? They are indeed very similar. As far as their own 'natural principles' are concerned, most of the time they are doing useless work, just like today..."

The Harlequin paused, a sharp whistle replacing his next words.

"Boom-bang!"

"Successful, everyone retreat!"
