Chapter 566 - Hidden Enemies

"Miss Lilith, we will be making a quick stop at Redsand Region to restock supplies. Is there anything you need from the city?" A soldier inquired.

"No, I'm good. Thank you for asking." Lilith shook her head before gazing into the west, "It'll be great if we can reach the Western Frontier as soon as possible."

"Yes, Miss Lilith. We are already moving at our best pace. Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do about our…" The soldier smiled ruefully as they listening to the rattling of metal grinding on the rocky road.

"The tires, huh?" Lilith sighed with a slight headache.

The wobbling of melted rubber and sharp metal clings were annoying to constantly listening to.

Nevertheless, nothing can be done about this unless they want to halt their journey.

"I wonder how my tribe is doing…" Lilith softly muttered with concern.

In the Lower Districts of the Capital, a few screams would be heard occasionally, followed by the rattling armors of a group of city guards quickly rushing towards the sources.

"Help! Get him off me! He wants to eat me! Ahh--noo!" A lady screamed on the ground while resisting a man on top of her.

A city guard immediately grabbed the frenzied male and toss him to the group of city guards behind him, "Quickly detain this person and take him to the cells!"

"Yes, captain!" The city guards answered after pinning down the frenzied male's limbs.

"Hello, young miss. Are you alright? Have you been bitten or scratched anywhere?" The city guard captain inquired politely.

The young lady shivered before hiding her sleeve, "No…"

"Haiz…" The city guard captain sighed before he ordered, "Take this lady to the quarantine area to be placed under a 24-hour watch."

"Yes, captain!" Answered another city guard.

"Noo! I am fine! I haven't been bitten or scratched!" The young lady struggled but to no avail.

She was no match for the city guard and was shortly taken away, "Don't worry, miss. You don't need to be alarmed. We are trying to help you…"

"You're lying! All the people who have been taken to the quarantine area were never seen or heard from again!" The young lady cried.

Nevertheless, the two soon disappeared from sight.

"That makes it the 12th person tonight." The remaining city guard sighed, "It would have been less troublesome if these people just report their sunburns like they are told."

"Not much we can do about it. Someone has been spreading false rumors about the quarantine area and the holding cells to sow chaos." The city guard captain frowned.

"Yeah…" The city guard nodded, "We can only wait for the good news from the shadow guards."

"Un."

Royal Palace.

"Have you found the one sowing chaos in the Capital yet?" Heinrich questioned while gazing out the study room's balcony with a calm look.

"Not yet, but we will be sure to find them soon, Your Majesty. We have already caught their traces and received few reports from the civilians. The culprits do not seem to be locals," A shadow guard kneeled before the king.

Heinrich furrowed his brows before tapping his feet thoughtfully, "The Capital has been in lockdown for some time. Unless the sentries are failing the duties, only messengers and military personnel had been entering and leaving the Capital… How's the situation of the underground district?"

"There was a small commotion near the second-floor entrance during the first outbreak. But after it had been resolved promptly, no one is able to approach the gate anymore." The shadow guard reported.

Heinrich recalled the event before uttering, "Because of the cold coming from deeper inside the subterranean world?"

"It's more than just cold, Your Majesty. The temperature there is freezing. Even the red mist that gave us some trouble had been frozen solid."

"I see…" Heinrich muttered with surprise. Clearly, he had not been informed about this.

"Alright, continue to track down the culprits sowing chaos in the Capital. Report back to me once they are caught. I want to know exactly who our hidden enemies are."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Heinrich commanded, the shadow guard quickly accepted and disappeared from the balcony.

Silence returned to the king's study room for some time before Heinrich called, "Lily, go call in your mother. There's something I need to talk to her about."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Lily calmly answered with a bow at the door.

Outside of the hanging Great Wall, the ferocious battle between Three-Legged Golden Crows and Blue Luans continued.

Caw! Caw!

Kree! Kree!

Three-Legged Golden Crows and Blue Luans fought intensely by the two Paragon-level carcasses, ripping their fleshes out with pointy beaks and gouging eyes with sharp claws.

Seeing a Rank 2 Transcendent Three-Legged Golden Crow feasting on the Paragon's golden blood, Leon dived straight into the heart of this intense battlefield.

Bam!

The bone spear slotted straight into the Rank 2 Transcendent Three-Legged Golden Crow's head!

However, the attack was too shallow and failed to fully penetrated the skull's tough defense!

Caw! Caw!

The Rank 2 Transcendent Three-Legged Golden Crow cried while shaking its head furiously in pain.

Leon held onto his spear tightly without being swept away by force!

But after a short moment, he suddenly released his grip and shot into the sky! An ancient fat bone appeared in his hands before his body plunged with quickened speed!

Bam!

The Tier 4 Bone Spear was hammered straight into the Three-Legged Golden Crow's head to wreak havoc in its brain!

The impact rang far and wide before Leon tossed the ancient bone back into his Worldspace.

Caw!

After a short cry, the Rank 2 Transcendent Three-Legged Golden Crow slumped on top of the Paragon-level Three-Legged Golden Crow's carcass with a few twitches before it was stilled.

A Rank 2 Transcendent was successfully slain by Leon, but he had no plans to celebrate. After retrieving his Tier 4 Bone Spear, he immediately chose another target surrounding the Paragon.

"Puny human, what is your relationship with the Barbarian Tribe of Warring Races?" Another Rank 2 Transcendent Blue Luan questioned him with surprise.

"Hm?" Leon paused slightly before he answered casually, "No relationship."

"Impossible… A small and puny human like you can't possibly possess such raw physical strength unless you are from the Warring Race!" The Blue Luan denied his answer.
