Chapter 929: Chapter 587, How He Should Die (Additional chapter for Alliance Hierarch ‘Tracks of Angels’)_3
Everyone’s face changed dramatically.
The Undead had come in.
Li Rong, instinctively leaning towards Morse, found that it was just as Fang Hao had said.
The Undead began to assassinate the officials.
And at a banquet of all places, it was a total disaster.
The Church’s templar Knights and the Mages’ guards also rushed in.
...
They began to protect their respective lords.
A bishop spoke, “Take the City Lord back to his room for protection, the rest proceed to the hall to eliminate the assassins.”
The Church was not afraid of the Undead, especially with the protection of the templar Knights.
Defeating a few Undead assassins, there shouldn’t be any problem.
The crowd, surrounded by their guards, charged into the hall.
At first glance, a leader beheaded a servant of the City Lord’s house.
Simultaneously, a wandering spirit floated out from that dead body.
Attempting to enter into a nearby wall.
Whoosh!
The bishop who had just arrived made his move, and a beam of light fell from above.
The wandering spirit vanished amidst its wails.
“It’s a wandering spirit using possession, not hard to deal with. Everyone spread out and kill all these spirits,” the leading bishop immediately said.
“Alright!” everyone responded in agreement.
A few people scattered, each leading a few guards, taking some people and heading out.
“Li Rong, you return to your room first, lock the door and don’t come out. You won’t be of any help here,” Mapel instructed.
Wandering spirits, a type of Undead, were not high-level, but they were very troublesome to deal with.
They could not only possess corpses but could also pass through walls, and physical attacks hardly harmed them.
Li Rong, a Mage of her level, had a body near that of an average person, and it was very likely that she could be in danger.
“Alright, be careful,” Li Rong said.
“Go back quickly, with Morse protecting you, safety shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Alright!”
Mapel headed in one direction with her guards, and Li Rong left with Morse as well.
…
On the way back, cries and pleas for help were all around.
The situation they faced
differed somewhat from what Fang Hao had anticipated.
Indeed, there were assassinations, but it was a chaotic slaughter—if they managed to kill a high-ranking official, it was a stroke of luck.
If not, they aimed to kill as many others as possible.
Fortunately, there were hardly any civilians left in the city, so a large-scale fatality event was unlikely to occur.
They locked the room door.
Morse checked the room thoroughly, ensuring there was no danger.
The two sat in the darkened room, not lighting the Nightstone chandelier.
They just sat there in silence.
“Don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any danger here,” Morse said to comfort Li Rong, seeing that she was distressed.
Li Rong stared blankly at her toes, and after a moment, she said, “What do you think, if Xu Haide died now, would it seem reasonable?”
Morse was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood the implication of her words.
He replied, “Quite reasonable.”
Li Rong smiled, “Help me kill him, and don’t let any suspicion fall on us.”
“But… what about your safety?”
“It’s fine, I’ll hide myself. This is our last chance to kill him,” Li Rong said seriously.
Morse hesitated a bit.
Li Rong continued, “Trust me this time, I really will be alright.”
In the end, Morse nodded and said, “How do you want him to die?”
“Like a death by assassination will do.”
“Understood, hide in the closet. Don’t come out unless I return,” Morse instructed.
“Alright!”
Li Rong hid in the closet, and Morse’s figure disappeared into the night.
…
Dreamy Forest.
Stepping out from the Teleportation Array.
They found themselves deep in the forest, where giant trees seemed alive, stretching out branches holding Nightstones towards the path ahead.
Lighting a trail leading deeper into the woods.
“Welcome to the Dreamy Forest.”
