Chapter 718 Loren Can't Escape

Beside the stream that flows through the capital, in the mansion of St. Clement's Abbey, on a night when even the moonlight sometimes disappears.

There was a bright light behind the curtains on the second floor of the mansion.

Lanqi and Talia studied this mysterious pink sacred grade [Ultra-Long-Distance Communication Program-7] for a long time in this study.

"I can't make this card. Its craftsmanship is so unique."

Talia analyzed the communication magic card in confusion.

I always feel that it may have used the principles of super ancient divine objects, and its encryption level is completely unlike the technology of this era.

The card that Lanqi has in his hand now has some functions that are obviously not usable.

Checked the communication directory.

In addition to Landry, there are eight other contacts in total.

"So this secret organization that Landry belongs to has nine members in total?"

Lanqi muttered to himself in the same confusion.

The original owner, Landry, was number 7 and seemed to have joined relatively late, so there was not much information in the communication magic card.

And except for No. 1 and No. 2, no one else can chat privately, only in a group.

As of now.

No. 1 should be the boss of the organization, and No. 2 is the coordinator who takes charge of things.

Not long after, a new message popped up, attracting the attention of Lanqi and Talia.

It was sent by the correspondent named "Truth".

[Real (No. 2): That's good. Now except for No. 4, everyone else is in Brillda. In principle, we cannot interfere with or investigate each other. This is also for the sake of our own safety.]

【Real (No. 2): But let’s try to help each other. 】

The other party added another sentence.

"So you all are from the same city?"

Lanqi said in surprise.

"For people like you who want to stir up trouble within the Cremorne Empire, isn't the best place to go to the capital, Blildha?"

Talia felt that there was no need for Lanqi to act like a little white flower in front of her.

Although Lanci replaced Landry.

But the motives of this secret society in the capital, Blildha, could not be good.

"No way, I am the one who wants the best for the empire."

Lanqi said righteously.

"…If you say so, then so be it."

Talia felt that there was no need to waste her breath on Lanci. He was already like this, so what was there to argue about?

"By the way, this Holy Communication Card No. 2 holder named 'Reality' actually simply agreed that I had just arrived in Brillda, not that I had been there for half a day."

Lanqi thought.

And judging from what No. 2 said, in principle, these members cannot interfere with or explore each other.

That means the other party may not know the true identity of the holder of Sacred Communication Card No. 7.

“So presumably only Founder 1, who issued these cards, knows everyone’s true identity?”

Talia also understood what Lanqi meant.

"I think so. Maybe only No. 1 has seen Landry. As long as I don't meet No. 1 offline, there should be no risk of being exposed."

Lanci nodded.

Judging from the style of the organization, the most mysterious No. 1 will probably not reveal his identity when handing the card to other selected members.

"But let's reply to number 2's message first."

While Lanci was talking to Talia, he was typing information on this sacred pink communication program.

【Justice (No. 7): OK.】

He sent it out.

Even if I now have the opportunity to gain some information through a "real" conversation, I am still just an imposter no matter what, and the more I talk, the more flaws I will reveal.

The correct plan is to observe the group messages on this special communication magic program for a period of time, understand the rules and characteristics of this organization, and then perfectly join their conversations, at least without being easily exposed.

This time, after waiting for a long time, No. 2 did not reply, so Lanqi and Talia relaxed a little.

It seems to have come to an end.

"No one else is talking in the group chat yet."

Lanqi observed and said.

It seems that everyone is doing their own thing, or everyone is very busy, and the relationship between this secret organization is not that solid.

"Do you want to stay in this organization?"

Talia felt that Lanqi's business in the Empire was starting to increase again.

But the problem now is that Lanqi doesn't know the size, nature, or goals of the organization, and he doesn't even know the name of the organization.

"Of course, otherwise Landry's identity might be exposed. The people who are most familiar with him in the capital may be this organization. If we want to make good use of his convenient identity, we have to help him fulfill his obligations."

Lanqi sighed and spread his hands.

"It doesn't matter much. More friends mean more paths. Maybe I can get some intelligence or help in the future. It seems that the security of the organization is pretty good. Let's take it one step at a time."

"That's good, I'll go see how dinner is going."

Talia said, standing up and pushing back her chair.

Now that things have come to this, let’s just live like this in the empire. The only thing we need to consider right now is to fill our stomachs.

…

at the same time.

Brillda, the capital of the Cretan Empire, is located at the foot of the towering Mount Ostro, on the side of a lush pine forest.

In the undulating city center stands a beige building that looks like a temple.

The outer wall of the temple is made of stone bricks from the Age of Gods. It is a hundred meters high and cannot be destroyed even by the annihilation of generations. It glows faintly under the moonlight.

Hundreds of automatic enemy-seeking and sky-splitting cannons were installed outside the defensive barriers on all sides, with their muzzles pointed sinisterly into the distance, as if ready to turn any illegal intruders into ashes at any time.

Under the Thunderous Shock Tower of Kremer, the fully armed special patrol officers in black military coats, holding Imperial tempered muskets, stared grimly into the distance.

This is the Imperial Military General Staff and the Imperial Army Headquarters.

As the highest command body of the Imperial Army, it is responsible for formulating grand strategic policies and deploying and coordinating the operations of various military branches.

The Chief of Staff was held by the Imperial Marshal Hecintus, who was conferred the Diamond Seat, and was directly responsible to the Emperor, Saint Bardo Hoffmann the Great.

It is responsible for the affairs of the Imperial Army, and also organizes Imperial Army units and formulates combat plans.

It is under the jurisdiction of several army groups, including the Imperial Army Headquarters, the Imperial Air Force Headquarters, the Imperial Navy Headquarters, the Imperial Weapons and Equipment Department, the General Administration of National Defense Mobilization, and the Wartime Propaganda Department.

As for the independent Capital Garrison Command and the Imperial Special Operations Department, although they are not under the direct jurisdiction of the Imperial Army Headquarters, but directly under Emperor Kremer, their authority is not higher than that of the Imperial Army. When necessary, they still need to obey the command of the Headquarters, and they cannot enter the Headquarters without permission.

now.

At the deepest core of this building is a huge space called the "Temple of the Gods".

The temple is carved downwards like an amphitheatre and is surrounded by twelve arches.

The mosaic mural of thousands of glowing immortal crystals on the temple dome reflects the ink-colored marble floor below.

This is the exclusive meeting place for the twelve military gods of the empire.

It is also the forbidden area that the Kremlin Empire is least likely to break into.

In non-wartime situations, even a ninth-level warrior would be completely incapable of breaking through the defenses of half of the military gods.

Nowadays, most of the military gods are away at war, and the Temple of the Gods has become correspondingly much quieter.

Usually only the first military god Hecintus stationed in the capital and the sixth military god Violet would meet here.

But tonight, in the center of the empty temple of gods, on a bench next to a round table, sat the third military god, Geyat, the Sardonyx Throne.

He was wearing an obsidian robe embroidered with dark patterns, which fit him perfectly like a suit of misty armor.

He put aside the mechanical staff made up of countless silver gears.

He sat quietly, as if waiting for someone.

Until a long time passed.

There were soft footsteps in the shadow of a door at the far end of the temple.

Geyat slowly raised his eyes and looked over there.

I saw a doctor walking out leisurely in the darkness.

He was wearing a simple white coat, and under his short silver hair was a handsome face with squinting eyes and a smile.

"Here we go, Luke Yed."

Geyat spoke up.

"I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long. After all, I've been on the road for a long time."

A man dressed as a doctor came over and answered.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Except for the First Military God Hecintus, who holds the Diamond Throne, and the Sixth Military God Violet, who holds the Aquamarine Throne, who will be stationed in the heart of the empire, the other military gods will return when they need to rest and replenish supplies, and adjust their deployment according to the strategy of the front line.

Originally, the three military gods mostly acted in one area of ​​the Kingdom United Parliament Alliance.

But now an adjustment is needed.

That is, Geyat, the third military god, whose throne is sardonyx, and Lugayed, the fifth military god, whose throne is mica.

The Geyat with stronger attack and suppression capabilities will be transferred to the central plains countries, and the Lugayed with stronger auxiliary and interference capabilities will be transferred to the eastern region to supplement the hero units.

As a pharmacist who is good at [Poison] and [Alchemy], the Fifth Military God, Lugayed, the Mica Seat, has the ability to quickly help other eighth-level strongmen heal, adjust their status, and strengthen themselves.

After the war broke out, the fifth military god, Lugayed, was the most frequently dispatched military god, wandering around.

It can be said that unlike the First Military God Hecintus and the Sixth Military God Violet who cannot move, the Fifth Military God Lugayed can appear anywhere.

"Let me help you take a look."

Lugayed carried a dark golden medical box in his left hand and walked over to sit beside Geyat.

This exchange will also allow Geyat, who has returned to the capital, Blierda, to adjust his condition to the best, and then Lugayed will go to the eastern region to provide medical care for the other two military gods.

"I hope it won't take up your time."

The third military god, Geyat, nodded slightly and spoke in a calm tone.

"Gayat, a doctor should be calm and unhurried. You and I are both racing against time, so why should we worry about a mere minute of time?"

The fifth military god Lugayed squinted his eyes and spoke in a clear and pleasant voice.

After saying that, he lightly opened the medicine box and took out a crystal clear bottle which contained a pool of emerald green liquid medicine.

He gently grasped Geyat's wrist, rolled back his sleeves, placed his fingertips on Geyat's pulse, closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the rhythm of the magic circuit.

"You seem to be overtired recently. Please give me another hour here."

After a moment, Luke Yed opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Thank you very much."

Geyat answered briefly.

Lugayed picked up the bottle and syringe, injected them into Geyat's vein, and began to use alchemical magic to blend the poison's medicinal power.

The medicine he used would be extremely toxic if injected directly. Only by using it and constantly breaking it down and recombining it instantly could it exert its rapid repair power.

This process is relatively long.

"What is Hecintus doing?"

Geyat, who was being treated, had nothing to do, so he asked the pharmacist Lugayed.

The movements of the fifth military god, Mica Lugayed, were directed by the first military god, Hecintus. Before coming here, Lugayed must have met Hecintus.

"I don't know. He doesn't have time to clean up after you lately."

Pharmacist Luke Yed shook his head.

Geyat was silent for a moment, and looked towards the restricted area under the Temple of the Gods, just below the transparent glass mirror of the round table.

He knew that Luke Yed was referring to what he had brought back.

It is also a black mosaic magic cube standing on a stone platform surrounded by magic-forbidden steel pillars, which is bound by the chains of the forbidden area at this moment.

It was covered with curse seals, and chains with a red breathing glow were wrapped around it like snakes and scorpions, tightly locking the hexahedron.

"If we continue to fight him, I'm not sure if he will become stronger, so I banished him to the [Illusionary Territory]."

The third military god, Silken Agate Geyat, spoke after a moment, in a deep voice.

The battle outside the eastern border of the Kingdom of Alolan that day was neither difficult nor smooth.

After Simonlo appeared, the battle fell into a vicious circle as he kept healing Philip and exchanging injuries with Loren. Loren was forced to have his life and mana consumed by them, and could neither cause effective damage nor escape.

"Is he that strong?"

The fifth military god, Mica Lugayed, asked.

According to the intelligence, there is no reason for High Priest Loren to use his trump card given his strength.

"At the beginning of the fight I could definitely tell he wasn't as good as me, but by the end he was almost as good as me."

Geyat shook his head, as if recalling the battle at that time.

It was the first time he had seen a guy like Loren who was born for battle and became stronger as he fought.

Although it is still quite a distance away from the Obsidian Throne of the Second God of War.

However, it was difficult for Geyat to estimate the speed at which Loren became stronger. If Loren managed to break through the seventh god of war Philip or the eleventh god of war Simonlo and successfully escape, the consequences would be disastrous.

The three of them did not suffer any dangerous injuries, but the more they fought, the more they felt that the uncertainty was rising. In order to ensure the success of the mission, Geyat gave his ultimate move to Loren and sealed him, and did not fight Loren to the end.

In this [Illusionary Territory], there is only an endless empty world and a real exit that can never be reached.

"According to the Empire's spies, Loren also possesses an immune force field ability that can be used multiple times. The last time he used it was on the night of the demon incident in Pariel, the flower capital of the Person Kingdom. He looked like he was about to die at any time, but he never used this spell, which made the commander feel vaguely uneasy."

Geyat said solemnly.

In the end, they still didn't figure out what Loren's best attribute was.

In the end, from the review, he made the right decision to seal Loren, otherwise Philip and Simon Luo might not have been able to come back so safely.

"It doesn't matter whether you use it early or late. Using your Great Sealing Technique like this can be considered to eliminate a major hidden danger. However, it's a pity that you can't use it on the Chief Speaker of the Western Hub District."

Luke Yed was startled for a moment, then smiled.

Of course, it is not so easy to successfully use this forced sealing technique.

This sealing technique can only be performed when the enemy is severely injured and put into a state of forced control.

It was originally a supreme spell used by ancient sealers to seal the immortal vampires. It was recorded in the holy Moon Temple. It must be performed at no cost with the blessing of the Wolf Sage as a medium. Otherwise, the caster will suffer fatal backlash.

Being hit by this spell is the same as being dead, and the spell will not be resolved even if the caster dies.

To be on the safe side, Geyat brought the door to the [Illusionary Territory] back to the capital, Blildad.

Although it would be safer to gather enough strength, actively unlock the [Illusionary Territory], and then have the military gods surround and kill the high priest Loren.

However, if this task is to be carried out, it would probably be safest to gather more military gods to ensure that he can be killed without any injury and without giving him any chance to escape.

The current battle situation on the front line does not support all of them, the God of War, wasting time and energy to deal with a prisoner Loren who is almost dead.

"Are you sure Loren has been completely sealed in this barrier?"

Lugayed looked at the dark sealed cube and asked Geyat.

It's not that he doubted that Geyat or the sealing technique would go wrong, but there were indeed some discordant notes within the empire now, and anyone within the empire could become a rebel.

The less likely someone is to betray the empire, the more terrible the harm will be once they betray the empire.

If someone leaked the news that Loren was sealed deep in Brillda, the rebels might try their best to rescue Loren.

Such an enemy's combat power is undoubtedly catastrophic.

If the rebels were allowed to continue to develop, any place could become a hole that could cause a dam to collapse. Even the emerging church groups had gradually attracted the attention of His Majesty Saint Bardo Hoffmann, who personally ordered the Imperial Military Staff and the Imperial Special Operations Department to investigate.

"Humph, Loren must be in there."

Ge Yat snorted coldly to interrupt him and said proudly,

"Unless I take the initiative to remove it, or a stronger sealer than me comes to remove the curse, this seal will never be opened."
