Cataclysm King.

Chapter 552 I must take away this batch of equipment

Innocence City.

The elite members of the Iris Legion were ordered to board the ship and evacuate. Seeing this situation, the survivors in the city rushed toward the dock.

No one knows what happened to these bugs, and no one knows what the ‘Mysterious Bug Mother, Kalakta’ means.

But even a fool can understand that the ninth-level marshal of the Iris Legion ordered the evacuation. It must be because the insect plague cannot be controlled, and the higher-ups have given up on Innocence City.

Previously, the survivors still held some hope that the top knights in the southern continent could deal with the insect plague, but now the evacuation has made everyone dead in their determination to fight the insects.

If the fight to the death continued, it might take ten and a half days for those bugs to destroy the humans in Innocence City.

But now that the evacuation order is given, the army is defeated like a mountain.

The elites from various strongholds in the city took the lead in breaking out and evacuating, while the others were even more unwilling to fight and evacuated as if the embankment collapsed.

Soon each stronghold was attacked by insects one by one.

As Ji Xun said, in the eyes of people in the Southern Continent, magic towers and magic artillery are much more valuable than some unusable mechanical equipment.

The Titan armor cannot be stored in the storage space, and the space on the Void Dragon ship is limited, and not much mechanical equipment can be crammed into it.

The situation was urgent, and the members of the Iris Corps had no intention of taking away the captured mechanical equipment from the warehouse.

On the tower, Ji Xun and Reni were still observing the Third Army warehouse a few blocks away from Downing Street, and were not in a hurry to go there.

Needless to say, anyone who dares to pay attention to those machines now will definitely be beheaded by the Iris senior management.

The main force in this game was the Oran Royal Court. Ji Xun had no intention of attracting firepower, so he waited patiently.

However, a magical scene happened in an instant.

Ji Xun suddenly discovered that the coordinates left on Lei Ke could no longer be sensed!

The magic is here.

The coordinates didn't move away a little bit, but suddenly disappeared!

"Teleported outside the city? Could it be the space teleportation array?"

Ji Xun's expression was also wonderful for a moment.

He wasn't surprised that the people from the Oran Royal Court would escape, but he didn't expect that they would use such bizarre methods.

You must know that Ji Xun himself is proficient in spatial displacement, but even at the eighth level, his ability to teleport one or two kilometers at a time is the limit.

Now that Lake has disappeared from the range of perception, that is to say, he teleported at least dozens of kilometers?

Thinking of this, Ji Xun also felt very interested.

The normal marking method completely lost its target this time.

Not only him, but also those who were following the Iris Legion were probably confused at this moment.

Originally, those guys must have thought about using this bit of bait to see if they could catch something last, but now, the bait has disappeared out of thin air!

I don’t know where to start even if I want to pursue it.

Fortunately, Ji Xun had thought of this possibility before and got double insurance.

He patted Ivan who was sleeping in his pocket and sensed the spatial coordinates left on Lake's body.

With this perception, the guy was actually seventy kilometers outside the city!

Being able to teleport so far, Ji Xun came up with the only reasonable explanation and thought in his mind: "Is it the spatial ability of the 'Mysterious Insect Mother - Kalakta'? Divine magic - wormhole?"

He had seen before that this female insect could create [Void Mantis], insects with space talents, and he had already expected that she could do this and be good at space laws.

Some of the ancient palace books of the Oran royal family also recorded related magical arts.

However, it was the first time that Ji Xun saw this kind of group transfer ability with his own eyes. Ji Xun also found it very magical.

Being able to transfer military power over a large area, no wonder the insect army is so terrifying.

Looking at it this way, not only the captured prisoners, but also the mechanical equipment were probably transferred at the same time.

"Hehe, that's a good plan."

Ji Xun muttered in his heart and led Reni towards the outside of the city.

With the piece of black bread in their hands, the two of them soon left the Innocence City without any hindrance.

But after leaving the city, Ji Xuncai became more and more surprised: "The spatial coordinates have been distorted? This wormhole actually has the effect of interfering with perception. Tsk, tsk, in this way, the top experts of the Iris Legion will not be able to locate their position."

After chasing for a while, I realized that the mysterious female insect was really clever in its methods.

Not only did Lake and the others teleport more than 70 kilometers to a safe area outside the city, but even more brilliantly, the spatial coordinates were hidden.

It's like the refraction of light in the water. It looks like the fish is somewhere, but it's not actually there.

The distortion created by the mother worm near the wormhole was still irregular. Even though Ji Xun knew that the coordinates were outside the city, Ji Xun jumped in the air.

Double insurance, almost foolproof.

Fortunately, Ivan's spatial ability is very special. As soon as he got close, he sensed it and after correcting the route several times, he finally located the exact location of Lake's people.

At this moment, in the rock formations above Innocence City, there was an unnamed mountain near Shangbang Prison.

A team of dozens of people had just teleported out of the twisted wormhole. Most of them were still wearing slave collars. They were the mechanics and high-level prisoners who had been held as bait in Innocence City.

Also transported along with them were a large number of boxes and the half-finished Titan armor.

And in the heart of the mountain, there was a group of people waiting for a long time.

Judging from the noble crests of staffs and owls they wore, most of the people who responded were the "Herlanders, a clan of forbidden curse masters", one of the famous four knights of the king.

Two months ago, the "667 Secret Mechanical Research Institute" was breached. At that time, the Herlanders family was responsible for guarding the base.

The base was breached by the Iris Army, and the New King of Oran was punished. Of course, their family took on the task of the Innocence City this time.

"Lord Patriarch, most of the key components of the Titan production line are here! The 003 armor is also intact. It's just that the drawings are not there."

"Yeah. It's expected that those guys didn't put the drawings together. It's enough to get these equipment back. Let's leave quickly and clean up the collars and suspicious items on the way."

"Yes, Mr. Patriarch."

"."

After checking the equipment, everyone who responded breathed a long sigh of relief.

The equipment that was robbed is one of the two production lines of the Oran Royal Court that can produce Titan armor. The semi-finished armor is also an important strategic item that has used up the rare magic metal collected by the Royal Court.

Now that the things are back, most of the losses have been recovered.

As for the Titan blueprints, Wang Ting has a backup, and it doesn’t matter whether they can be retrieved or not.

The blueprint fell into the hands of those in the Southern Continent and was of little use. Considering that machinery is taboo in the Southern Continent, there is a high probability that it will be burned, so there is no need to worry.

After roughly counting the items, these people did not dare to stay. Each porter controlled the mechanical arm to lift the heavy equipment. Everyone quietly left along the planned evacuation route according to the original plan.

The leader of the response was an old woman with white hair.

Her name is Elsa Herlanders.

Although she is not one of the Four Horsemen of this generation, she is the head of the Herlanders family.

This time, in addition to retrieving the mechanical equipment that must be snatched back under the royal court's death order, the Forbidden Curse Masters family also wanted to save alive the Forbidden Curse Genius Reik, who the Herlanders family had not seen in a thousand years. come out!

Because this is related to the inheritance of family bloodline.

Lake has shown an extraordinary affinity to the thunder element since he was a child. Later, in the family's talent test, his affinity to the thunder element was the highest in the Oran Palace's three thousand years of history.

This is the natural talent of a curse master.

Not surprisingly, Lake will also be the next Four Horsemen of the King!

For this reason, Elsa, the old patriarch, did not hesitate to take risks and came in person.

Seeing that his grandson was safe, the old man's face finally relaxed from the sadness that had been gathering between his brows.

The buzzing sound of the neat boiler is endless.

The atmosphere was not tense.

They are very aware of the royal court's plan this time and understand it well. The danger is always only in the innocent city. Now that he has come out, he cannot be caught up again.

Walking on the mountain road, Elsa checked her grandson's body, and after confirming that no one from the Southern Continent had tampered with her, she breathed a sigh of relief and burst into tears: "Xiao Ke, you have been wronged during this time. ”

Seeing this grandma who had doted on him since childhood, Lake comforted him and said, "Grandma, I'm fine."

The old man sighed endlessly and sighed repeatedly, it is good that he is here.

At the same time, she saw that there was no slave collar around her grandson's neck. She felt a little confused and said cautiously: "Xiao Ke, tell grandma what happened when you were captured by those people in the Southern Continent."

There is nothing wrong with the body, but if something is done to the mental level, it will be a big problem.

However, when she asked, she realized that she was overthinking. People in the Southern Continent simply looked down on Donghuang, who were geniuses at making treasures, and at most were high-level slaves.

Lake recounted his experience of being captured during this period, which was basically interrogation and torture, and then being imprisoned.

Almost all the intelligence officers in the Southern Continent knew what he knew, and there was nothing to ask.

Then he was used as bait and imprisoned in Innocence City until he was recently auctioned off.

After hearing this, the old man was surprised and said: "You mean someone saved you before?"

"Um."

Lake looked at the old man's expression and said, "I said it was definitely not the person sent by you, grandma. That guy also said it was 'entrusted by a friend', haha, it seems to be some other person" The guy who wants to take advantage of the Titans."

But thinking back to the scene in the restaurant before, he felt that the guy's aura was very special.

Obviously it doesn't feel strong, but the aura seems to be engraved in my mind and can't be dispelled.

However, as soon as these words came out, the old man asked: "That man said he was entrusted by a friend? What does he look like? Did he tell you his name?"

Lake: "That guy is pretending to be a businessman from the Southern Continent. He looks pretty good, but he's so crazy. The guy is very cautious and has never told his true identity. But there was a woman with compound eyes who came here before. He said he knew someone called JOKER?"

The old man asked again: "Did you see the mechanical arm on him?"

Lake didn't know why his grandma asked this, but he said with a firm tone: "No."

The old man couldn't hide the concern in his tone: "Is that person still safe?"

Reike didn't understand the emotion that had been forgotten for decades, and said truthfully: "I don't know. The compound-eyed woman seemed to know him, so she didn't kill him. But then the insect plague came, and the whole city..."

"."

After hearing this, the old man also fell into deep thought with his turbid eyes.

The Elsa patriarch of the Herlanders family is Reni's old friend.

When they were young, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together and loved each other.

Later, the family got married. At that time, Reni was the most talented descendant of the drama **** family, and his family arranged a marriage with another person.

Elsa and Renee didn't get together.

This is normal among the aristocracy.

Later, Rennie suddenly defected from the drama **** clan, his life and death were unknown, and the two had no contact with him anymore.

Elsa knew that Rennie's character was absolutely impossible to defect. She guessed that there was something hidden in it, but she was sad but helpless.

She happened to be pregnant at that time, and thinking that her childhood sweetheart's life and death were unknown, she kept her bloodline.

It wasn't until a few years ago, when she watched the Thespians wanted Reni, that she knew her old friend was not dead.

It just so happened that her people found Reni first, and the two got in touch, and that's how the rest of the story came about.

Originally, Elsa planned to keep the secret until her grave, but the current situation left her with no choice.

She wanted to keep her grandson Lake, so she thought of her old friends in Innocence City.

Although he knew that Wang Ting had a plan, the plan was extremely risky, and the probability of Lake being rescued alive was extremely low.

At that time, almost all of Wang Ting's secrets in Innocence City had been pulled out, and she was in urgent need of medical treatment. She could only seek help from her old friends.

After all, Lake is also Rainey's biological grandson.

Then there was the incident of Reni going to save people.

With thoughts racing in her mind, Elsa sighed.

Upon hearing Lake's story, the old man had already guessed that his old friend had taken action.

Otherwise, no one would risk their lives to show off and save others in that situation.

Lei Kejian's own grandmother sighed and asked with concern: "What's wrong, grandma? Am I okay?"

The old man forced a smile and looked at the handsome grandson in front of him. After all, he did not tell the truth. He only said: "No matter who it is, he saved you after all and never harmed you from the beginning to the end. You must always be grateful. .”

"oh."

Lake seemed to understand but also responded.

As the old man spoke, his complicated thoughts continued for a long time.

She has lived for more than half her life, and as an old man of Oran Palace Ceremony, she has seen too much.

The struggle for power has always been cruel, and even within the four major knight families, they are full of conspiracies and intrigues.

She even suspected that some believers of external gods, and even the royal family itself, played some disgraceful roles when the "667 Secret Mechanical Research Institute" was attacked before.

The King's Four Knights family is not only the guardian of the royal power, but also the decision-maker of some palace affairs.

The Herlanders family is also a "conservative" who has always firmly opposed the royal court's use of the two sealed seven natural disaster monarchs.

After all, these old people in the royal court can certainly see endless troubles.

But this also made King Arthur very unhappy.

Especially recently, His Majesty the King's [Tyrant] rank has been promoted too quickly, and it has gradually been counterattacked by the devil's mark.

Violence has overtaken reason, and His Majesty the King's orders have become increasingly arbitrary recently.

This time, the seal of "Mysterious Insect Mother-Karakta" has been unlocked to a certain extent. This is the result of His Majesty the King's rage and insistence on taking advantage of the "667 Institute Incident".

But even so, as a family of the King's Four Knights, the first code of knights they must follow is: loyalty. Even if the royal family has to pay a heavy price because of wrong decrees, they will bear the price together.

They will definitely carry out His Majesty the King's orders.

Although the restoration of the Oran Royal Court was successful, it also achieved the most control of the Eastern Wasteland by the Oran Royal Court in the past three thousand years.

But the current situation left Elsa confused.

The Silver Moon Sect has gained power, and now the Outer God has been unleashed

Even she, the leader of the King's Four Knights family, felt a sense of powerlessness.

Even if one day the royal court returns from the Eastern Wasteland to the Central Continent, will the person in power still be King Augustus?

Now it seems that neither the Moon God nor the Outer God can be controlled by human power.

The situation that once destroyed the Tarun Dynasty seemed to be happening again.

Thinking of this, the old man sighed again.

She can no longer see the future of Kashi civilization.

Although the equipment and people of the institute were robbed as planned today, she became more and more worried.

But I don't know why.

It seems that I am coming to the end of my life. I have lost sight of everything, including power and interests.

Now that I have rescued my most beloved grandson, it seems like I have no worries anymore.

Instead, the old man thought of his old friend and murmured some words that only he could hear clearly, "It would be nice if we could see each other one last time."

Lake didn't know what his grandmother was worried about, so he could only follow silently.

However, just when this group of people thought it was impossible to be caught up.

Without warning, a loud shout suddenly rang out from the team: "Who is it!"

More than a hundred pairs of eyes looked over, and at some point, two men in cloaks appeared on the stalagmites on both sides of the road.

Ji Xun looked at the Oran Royal Court team that had finally caught up and smacked his lips: "Oh my, it's really not easy to catch up with you guys."

It's not too far from Innocence City, otherwise it's hard to say he would be able to stop him.

Hearing this small murmur, Reni's eyes twitched at the side.

Originally, he thought that there might be some surprise attack plan, or a powerful colleague, otherwise he would not pursue him so rashly.

However, he never expected that he would block these people's way so blatantly.

You know, in front of you are the elites of the Herlanders family, the king's four knights.

crazy,

Must be crazy.

But why did he and this guy do such a crazy thing together?

Feeling the needle-like killing intent, Reni couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

But he was surprised, and he didn't have much fear.

Anyway, I don't live much longer, so I came here because I wanted to see my old friend one last time.

It seems like you have nothing to lose by following along and going crazy.

Seeing the two men blocking the team's path so brazenly, everyone in the Oran Palace felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and at the same time they were not sure where the two men were coming from.

The first old man asked: "Who are you?"

Ji Xun knows this guy and has met him many times.

"Forbidden Curse Master" Qiao Lin, one of the King's Four Knights.

But the last time we met, it was in the Shenxu Treasure House, and those four guys were beaten up by Gong Wu together.

At that time, he was still a legendary card master, but now it looks like he is at the eighth level?

"Tsk tsk. Moon God's dream space is really a weapon for training top-level card masters."

Ji Xun sighed in his heart.

This is the foundation of the royal family.

Not surprisingly, those who were able to advance to legend in that environment were all extremely talented people.

Upon hearing the inquiry, Ji Xun also opened his cloak generously, revealing his face full of teasing smiles.

If it really comes to a fight, you can't hide your career sequence.

After all, his reputation in Donghuang is not small.

He was wanted almost all the way from his days as a katu.

Ji Xun remembered the last time he was wanted in the Eastern Wasteland. It was the last time he and Qin Ruzhi went to the Bai Family's Thief City, and then killed the people from the Holy Vatican of the Southern Continent who came to hunt Ivan.

His face should be familiar to all the senior officials of Oran Royal Court.

Sure enough, seeing his face revealed, most of the people in the Oran Palace on both sides of the road recognized him.

The old people can still keep their composure, but the young people can't.

Although Lake knew about Ji Xun on the wanted poster, this was his first time meeting him in person. He felt vaguely familiar.

Looking at this guy's temperament and the weird smile on his lips, I suddenly realized: "It's you!"

Isn't this exactly the same as the guy who bought me before?

Seeing Ji Xun appear here, Lake was not stupid and immediately thought of something: "You are really here for the Titan mecha!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Oran Palace became nervous.

"Ah, it's me."

Ji Xun looked at the murderous crowd of more than a hundred people and grinned, showing no fear at all.

Instead, he looked at Lake and couldn't help but tease: "You're not stupid. I'm really here for these devices."

"you"

Reike was so angry after hearing this fair and just words of robbery. Do you really think that there is no one in my clan of forbidden spell masters? ! !

The two sides were at war with each other and were about to fight.

Elsa, the old patriarch in the center of the team, shouted softly: "Wait!"

She had just looked at each other with "Forbidden Curse Master" Qiao Lin, and knew that the person in front of her was very powerful and it might not be rational to take action.

At the same time, she also saw another person beside Ji Xun, and she became inexplicably looking forward to it.

Reike on the side saw that Ji Xun was not hiding, so he also lifted his cloak, revealing an old face that had recently been popular on wanted notices.

Others didn't think much of this appearance, but when the old patriarch Elsa looked at it, her eyes trembled instantly.

When old friends met, both of them were filled with emotion.

But in front of so many people, they didn't say a word.

After looking at each other silently, Elsa's eyes turned into doubts: Are you helping outsiders to harm me?

Of course Lennie knew his old friend had misunderstood.

Although it is true that Ji Xun came to rob him.

But not to harm her.

If it were before, if Reni knew that Ji Xun's purpose was to rob the Titan armor, he would definitely not show up.

He and Ji Xun are friends, so he also likes to hear about the things being robbed from the Oran Palace.

It doesn't matter as long as the old friend and grandson are fine.

But now that he has appeared, more importantly, Reni knows that there is another legitimate King Augustus!

After knowing this truth, he knew very well that all the loyalty of the current Four Knights family to the "false king" seemed so stupid.

Far from harming his old friends, he corrects their mistakes.

But it was obviously not the right time to say these words.

Reni looked at his old friend's confused and gradually angry eyes and quietly avoided them.

He glanced at Ji Xun next to him again and sighed slightly in his heart.

He really didn't know what this person was planning.

Can't explain it now.

The two sides faced off like this.

Obviously, the more than 100 people from the Oran Royal Court have an absolute numerical advantage, and they also have the top combat power of "Forbidden Curse Master" Qiao Lin.

It stands to reason that as long as they don't come to the ninth level, they can handle it.

However, they were blocked on the road by Ji Xun and the others, and everyone was silent. No one dared to act impulsively.

Because the joking smile on Ji Xun's face gave people a very strange and uneasy feeling.

It seems that if they take action, they will definitely suffer disaster.

Although Ji Xun didn't look at Reni, he noticed the resentful look between him and the old woman.

Ji Xun grinned, confirming that the relationship between the two was indeed deep.

Rather than an old friend being taken advantage of.

What others didn't know was that it was precisely because of this confirmation that the violent killing intent in Ji Xun's eyes subsided.

Otherwise, he really didn't think the people in front of him could stop him from robbing this batch of goods.

The confrontation lasted for two breaths.

Ji Xun took the initiative to speak, but he didn't say anything related to the goods. Instead, he asked some seemingly insignificant questions: "Are you from the Herlanders family?"

The team finally got the old woman to speak: "So what?"

Although he knew that these two people had saved his grandson, he didn't look down upon them.

She's not stupid either.

Judging from the current situation, the two of them had bad intentions in saving people.

He must have left a mark on his grandson to pursue him.

Ji Xun didn't explain much and continued to ask: "I'm very curious about a question. Are you loyal to King Augustus or the royal family of Oran?"

The old woman didn't know why he asked, and sneered: "Humph! I don't know who you are. But our Herlanders family is the king's guardian knight, and you can't even try to sow discord! No matter what you say, it's meaningless."

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh. Then you are loyal to King Augustus?"

Some things are not suitable to be said in public.

Telling the truth now will not only fail to achieve the purpose of persuading people to surrender, but will instead be regarded as having evil intentions.

"."

When the old woman heard this, she didn't answer any more.

It cannot be denied, it cannot be denied.

Ji Xun didn't ask much.

That's enough.

The old woman was a little confused about the purpose of the two of them, and asked again: "Excuse me, what do you mean by stopping us?"

The tone of his voice was filled with the arrogance of the royal family of knights, and he expressed his attitude very cleverly. He did not want to fight, but he was not afraid of a fight to the death.

Ji Xun looked at the old woman, took another look at her, and said with emotion: "She is indeed the old patriarch of the Herlanders family."

I have to admit that these old nobles do have a strong foundation.

But the camps are different, and if Ji Xun wants to kill him, he will never show mercy.

He glanced at the mechanical equipment in the team and said directly: "I must take this batch of goods away."

Before the more than a hundred people below could get angry, he said directly: "But because my friend has an old relationship with your family, I don't want to embarrass you. After all, you know, this is not far from Innocence City. If there is a fight, I It doesn’t matter, you won’t be able to leave.”

Upon hearing this, Reni's eyelids twitched and he glanced at Ji Xun beside him. His expression seemed to be saying: When you mention me at this time, it doesn't feel like you are talking about favors, but instead, you are expressing hatred.

Sure enough, when he saw it, his old friend glared at him angrily.

Reni hadn't realized at this time that Ji Xun's words were really a huge favor given to him because of his friend's face.

This batch of goods must be taken away by Ji Xun.

If he really encounters resistance, he really doesn't mind. He will kill everyone here by himself.

The more than one hundred members of the Herlanders family sounded furious.

To make a show, you need to take action.

However, the old patriarch shouted again: "Stop!"

Her experience has long allowed her to see through people's hearts, but looking at the young man in front of her with a strange smile on his face, she couldn't figure it out.

But she had a strong sense of crisis in her heart, as if she really wanted to take action, there would definitely be very bad consequences.

Looking at her old friend Renee again, the old woman had a thought that was unbelievable to her: Could it be that he is really helping me?

But why did we unite with outsiders again?

The old patriarch pondered for a moment, and finally asked Ji Xun, "What do you want, your Excellency?"

Hearing this, Ji Xun smiled brightly and said, "Otherwise, large-scale battles would be inappropriate. How about we duel?"

This proposal is beneficial to both parties.

The Herlanders family did not dare to speak out.

And Ji Xun himself didn't want to be targeted by the top powerhouses of the Iris Legion in order to get this batch of goods.
