In the darkness of the night, a figure was running quickly in the streets.

In the early hours of the night, the hurried and rapid footsteps were particularly obvious. When some guards patrolling at street intersections heard them, they immediately shouted for everyone to come together.

"You! Stop, who are you doing? If you run again, I will kill you." The voice was urgent and fast.

Hearing the shouting behind him, the adventurer in hunting suit did not stop but ran even faster.

He nimbly jumped onto the low wall beside him, then approached the city wall, ready to find a gap to break through by force.

Although Viscount Mo Ruo was a real noble, he did not have many guards under his command. Although there were people guarding the city walls now, they were scattered, with only two or three people every hundred meters.

"Catch him!" Seeing the figure leaping onto the city wall, anxious shouts were heard on the street. The people on duty on the city wall also reacted and began to gather here.

The iron chain mail and armor pieces rubbed against each other as they ran. Some guards began to take out their bows and crossbows and aim at the figure that was jumping and running in the dark.

Whoosh——

There were several bow sounds, and an arrow cut through the air and shot out. The tip of the arrow flashed with a faint blue light, like reflective glass, and it immediately penetrated the adventurer's right chest, causing him to groan and then fall down.

"Chase!"

Several black-clad soldiers sped up again, leaped across a long arc, and rushed towards the place where the figure fell.

"Ah!" In the pitch-black alley, the adventurer drew his knife, a bright and dangerous red light adorning it. Then, with lightning speed, he charged back at the pursuing black-clad soldiers. The Demonic Order had always been so dangerous, both to others and to themselves.

Ding ding ding——

There was a loud collision in the alley, sparks flashed in the darkness, and then there were several muffled groans of injury.

"Cutting and killing array!" During this brief stalemate, another man in black came running from the alley. He had epaulettes on his body and looked like an officer.

Under the command of this newly joined officer, several pursuing soldiers immediately changed their shapes, and their sabers simultaneously emitted pale white magic power, twisting the space in strands, and then slashed down continuously at an extremely high speed, dividing the narrow space into several areas.

Blood suddenly splattered, staining the walls and the ground. The adventurer who had been resisting fell down with a look of astonishment. There were several sharp and neat wounds on his body.

A sergeant stepped forward and examined the body again before turning back.

"Sir, he's dead." Actually, the soldier was a little confused. According to the situation just now, he could obviously be captured alive, but why did he suddenly use the combined combat skill of 'Cutting and Killing Formation' to kill the criminal on the spot?

"Hmm." The young officer looked at it and then gave an explanation.

"We've already caught another one of them, so this one won't be necessary."

Afterwards, the town's nights returned to peace, the streets grew quieter, and no one dared to show up or run around. Even those restless hooligans knew that this was a critical moment, and if they made a mistake, they could lose their lives.

Inside the castle, the lights were on. Viscount Moruo was sitting in the lord's hall, surrounded by two rows of fully armored guards. These people were the direct and trusted members of their family. Only under the protection of these Sequence Three guards could Viscount Moruo feel a little safe.

Now, in addition to Viscount Moruo, there are several other people in the hall, one is Miss Charlene from the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce, one is an official of the Imperial Military, and the other is Kevin who is kneeling in the middle of the hall.

The former captain of the guard was now tied up with ropes, and there were still traces of whipping on his body. Some of the red marks were directly cracked, and there were dark red scars and bruises inside.

"Useless thing!" Viscount Mo Ruo held the wine glass tightly in his hand, wishing he could crush it.

After a while, he calmed down a little and drank the dark red and transparent wine.

"Is this your way of repaying me, Captain Kevin? With so many men and such tight security, someone still managed to steal something. I can't help but suspect that you're colluding with outsiders."

Viscount Mo Ruo sat on a high throne, looking down at the captain of the guard Kevin who had neglected his duty.

"I...I'm sorry." Kevin lowered his head and gasped, replied hoarsely, then lowered his head even lower.

"snort!"

Viscount Mo Ruo looked at the familiar face, and his heart felt as if it was burning with poisonous fire. He trusted this subordinate so much, but in the end, the thief stole such a crucial thing.

What made him even more anxious and uncomfortable was that there were now investigators from the imperial military in the city. These people took orders directly from the royal family and were not easy to get along with.

If something goes wrong, the existence of the ruins will be exposed, and then ordinary nobles like him will not be able to get their hands on it.

Thinking of this, he felt even angrier.

"What's the situation in the city? Have you spotted anyone suspicious?" After pausing to calm down, the viscount asked the butler beside him.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I have already asked someone to contact them." The butler bent down and replied.

"Okay, I'll wait a little longer reluctantly." He closed his eyes and leaned back on the throne behind him. The hall fell into silence.

A few minutes later, footsteps were heard from outside, followed by the sound of armor colliding.

Viscount Mo Ruo opened his eyes and a guard who came hurriedly reported.

"The man has been caught, sir." He reported breathlessly, and several investigators wearing black cloaks and black armor came behind him.
