About an hour after Mo Bei and the others left, Taseres flew back to the valley where the airship crashed.
The banshees who returned first were silent. Not to mention the group of humans they had besieged before, even the crashed airship had disappeared.
Facing the cruel Banshee King, they trembled uncontrollably, fearing that such a mistake would cause the body in the hell plane to suffer severe punishment.
"Those humans, under your supervision, repair the airship!?" Taseres looked cold and questioned the banshees in devilish language one by one.
According to its understanding, it is impossible for such a huge thing to disappear without a trace. The only explanation is that the airship was secretly repaired and escaped while they were chasing the two humans.
The banshees didn't answer, and Taseres obviously didn't expect to get any reply. She vomited a green crystal from her mouth, and after emitting a layer of shimmering light, nothing changed.
"waste!"
The demonic face twisted and twitched violently, intending to crush the crystal in its hand, but it still restrained itself. In order to restore its image of being reckless and demented, it spoke after a flash of eyes:
"We are already halfway to the distance from Harrogath. They have no reason to return to the garrison fortress. They should disperse and search immediately! That kind of thing can't get anywhere by flying against the wind! If I can't even catch up here, I will I will give you all as slaves to other demon lords!”
As if they had been granted amnesty, the banshees immediately fanned out to the north and set out anxiously to search for the movement of the airship.
Taseres flew around the valley alone and glanced to the southeast where the garrison fortress was located, but finally left bitterly to the north to gather the scattered ground troops.
Torrence didn't know that just now, a domain-level banshee leader had gone against them because of a thought.
At this moment, there was no joy of escaping from his face at all. Looking back at the messy and overlapping footprints, it was impossible for a heavy snowfall to cover up all those traces.
The team of hundreds of people formed a long queue under his order, so that the people in the front wearing anti-sag snowshoes could step on the snow more firmly, so that the people behind could save a lot of energy and keep moving. speed.
And he, Hanal, and a group of cronies followed the team, keeping a close eye on the queue in front, to be careful of anyone leaving the team.
The people in front are also wary of each other. If someone behaves strangely at this time, they will be controlled or even directly surrounded and killed.
On one side is the banshee that may catch up at any time, and on the other side is the threat lurking in the team, which really makes these people feel a lot of pressure. But being able to escape from the predicament is already a miracle, so everyone's condition has been raised to the limit unknowingly, and they don't feel that the road ahead is long and far away.
It wasn't until night fell, and the wind and snow began to rage as Torrance expected, that some people's faces gradually became happy.
And when the fleeing team crossed a mountain ridge, someone finally couldn't hold it anymore and suddenly cast the magic cloak. Immediately, five or six figures quickly swept out of the team, sprinting and jumping down on the more protruding rocks of the mountain ridge. .
If they really return to the garrison fortress, these hundreds of people will not be able to withstand strict inspections. If they don't run away now, it will be much later.
But they could see that this kind of timing and geographical environment made it easier to break away from the team. How could Torrence and others who were prepared for it not expect that when climbing up, they would consciously speed up to prevent the team in front from completely losing sight.
When Hanal's sudden change occurred, she and another Amazon fired their bows continuously. The powerful arrows blocked almost every place they could set foot on, and the moment they hit the rock, they exploded with cold arrows. Freezing air.
Those few people could only step into the snow in a hurry, staggering forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. They missed the best opportunity to get out of the attack range and immediately fell into the long-range firepower of everyone.
Dozens of people took action together, and the battle was over in the blink of an eye. Six people in total were all killed on the spot. Hanal looked at Torrence and asked in a stiff tone:
"Why not leave one or two alive?"
"There is no time to interrogate now. It would be easier to just kill him." Torrence responded. Seeing that the corpses had been put away, he waved to continue on his way.
"Then how do I clear my suspicion?".
"What kind of suspicion...I didn't know for sure at the time. Didn't I think that the less people knew about it, the better..." Torrence smiled dryly and played it off.
"I have worked with you for so many years, but I still can't be completely trusted." Hanal pretended to be disappointed.
"Didn't you go to Kurast with that naughty guy in the meantime? We haven't heard from you for several years. I don't know what you have been through..."
Torrence whispered teasingly. Although there were still several days to go before he could use the teleportation scroll, the internal crisis had been resolved. If he hurried on the snowy night, the possibility of being caught up could be said to be a straight line. After descending, my tense nerves finally relaxed, and I was even in the mood to make a joke or two.
Hanal narrowed her archer's unique deep eyes, glanced at Torrence, then ignored him, and instead urged the team to speed up.
In the early morning, Mo Bei and Perona returned to Harrogas safely. On the east side of the city wall, Akali and others had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw the two returning, they were all happy.
However, after hearing about Taseres, everyone was shocked.
After Mo Bei was defeated, he kept heading to the northern open space. An unknown leader of domain-level monsters naturally needed to report to Qualkek as soon as possible.
When he came to the open space, he saw more than ten corpses hanging on several stone pillars, all covered with a layer of frost, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Are they so efficient? Are these just taking advantage of the chaos?"
"Yes, the fortress has been in chaos since the night before yesterday. Later, through tracking and testing, Chakriyas and the others locked on a precise target, and things went much smoother. What hangs above is Those are the members of the Wizarding Council that can be confirmed so far." Akali briefly told what happened in the fortress after Mo Bei and the others left.
"Where's Niracek? Did he interfere?"
"There was no sign that he was involved in this matter. He seemed to have been in his residence and stayed behind closed doors."
"This old thief..." Mo Bei gritted his teeth. He didn't really expect Niracek to reveal his flaws so easily, but he couldn't predict what the other party was planning secretly.
"You're back!" Anya was talking to Qualkek, and when she caught a glimpse of a few people, she quickly came over to greet them.
"It's a lucky break." Mo Bei said with a smile.
"We have received news from Ernstinger! The trapped people have arrived at the Sernar Glacier. There are many deep canyons and secret passages there, and it is basically impossible to be discovered by the banshees in the air. As long as they enter the ice sheet , you can use the teleportation scroll to return to the garrison fortress."
The more Anya talked, the more excited she became. She was really overjoyed that the originally dead-end situation was actually resolved like this.
Qualkek also came over, stopped beside Anya, lowered his arms that he habitually folded in front of his chest, and said in a low voice with a gesture of approval:
"It seems that the rumors are true. You indeed have amazing courage and abilities!"
After saying that, he took out a small leather bag no bigger than a palm and threw it towards Mo Bei.
Mo Bei reflexively raised his hand to take it, squeezed it, stopped being polite, unbuckled the rope and looked at it, and then looked up at Qualkirk in front of him with a very surprised look.
As expected of our ancestors! It’s really bright! It was actually not the 789 he thought it was!
