Chapter 674 Rescue Begins!
Gervis first set his eyes on Marshall and found that Marshall was just standing next to Adela, guarding the entrance to the hall, and was not observing the inside of the hall.
Because there were more than a hundred young men in the hall, the more than twenty people from the New Temple were busy tying up people, and no one paid attention to him.
Gervis' eyes moved slightly, he thought for a moment and finally looked at the long table a few meters in front of him.
It is definitely impossible to rescue Adela in this hall now, and even if she is rescued, she cannot be taken away.
So now Gervis has no choice but to blend in with the young people and wait for an opportunity. At the moment, all the members of the New Temple are busy, and this is the only chance for Gervis to blend in.
So Gervis rolled forward silently, and after a moment he got under the long table.
The long table at this aristocratic banquet naturally had a tablecloth, and it was the kind of tablecloth that was pulled directly to the ground, which could directly cover Gervis's figure.
When Gervis crawled under the long table, he carefully squatted down and even walked forward along the long table.
The long table was about seven or eight meters long. When Gervis came from the end to the front of the table, he was already two meters away from the crowd.
Gervis leaned down and lifted the tablecloth of the long table slightly. He saw a new temple member not far away turning around and wrapping a mithril rope around the wrist of a young man. So Gervis did not hesitate, carefully got outside the long table, and then rolled nimbly to the nearest young men and women.
Although Gervis's actions were not noticed by the members of the New Temple, they attracted the attention of several young men and women around him.
When Gervis came to their side, they were all stunned, their eyes as big as deep-sea pearls.
"Shh!"
When Gervis saw the looks of the young men, he didn't know whether they were surprised by his identity or by his sudden appearance beside them, so he immediately raised a finger towards them.
Several young men reacted immediately and nodded quickly, with expressions of excitement and fear on their faces.
The excitement was, of course, because Gervis's sneaky appearance must not be on the same side as the New Temple, and maybe he could rescue them.
The fear came from the fact that they recognized Gervis's identity after seeing his face.
This was none other than the killer who single-handedly massacred the Golden Shield Family’s base some time ago.
And this is exactly the reason they are afraid. They have all heard that this god of death is cruel and murderous, and will kill anyone he sees.
Several people were afraid that they would not be killed by the people of the New Temple, but would be killed by this god of death instead!
Gervis didn't care about the expressions of the others. After seeing them nod, he immediately moved towards the crowd.
Everyone here has their wrists tied up. If he continues to stay outside the crowd, he will definitely be exposed, so Gervis needs to hide in the crowd.
When these people saw Gervis trying to squeeze in, they cooperated very well and tried their best to move aside to allow Gervis to squeeze in.
However, because their arms were tied and they were chained together, even if they took the initiative to avoid him, Gervis still had a hard time squeezing through.
In the end, Gervis could only circulate his fighting spirit slightly to squeeze into the middle one by one.
However, because he used too much force, he directly hit someone in the middle.
Because Gervis deliberately lowered his body, he immediately felt something soft on his head after bumping into the man.
Gervis immediately thought to himself that something was wrong, knowing that he had bumped into a woman, and it would be troublesome if she cried out in pain.
So Gervis raised his hand upwards without thinking, and when his eyes fell on the face of the person he bumped into, his palm also covered the other person's mouth.
“Oh my god!”
But when Gervis covered the man's mouth, he was stunned for a moment, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Because the person whose mouth he covered had a veil half-covering his face, and there was probably only one person with this veil on his face tonight.
Sure enough, the next moment when Gervis took a closer look, he was suddenly startled.
The person he bumped into was none other than Lolita, the eldest daughter of the Sacred Trading Company.
Lolita also saw Gervis's appearance at this time. Her eyes, which were already filled with endless anger because of being hit in the chest, burst into flames, and she looked at Gervis with murderous eyes.
"Shh!"
At this time, everyone around was from the New Temple, and Gervis was really afraid that this girl would scream recklessly, so he quickly gave her a fake shout, then leaned over to her ear and spoke in an extremely subtle voice.
"I'm here to save you this time, so don't make a sound!"
Lolita's face turned red and blue. She wanted to explode, but when she remembered that Gervis said he was ready to save them, she resisted the urge to die with him.
"I'm going to let go of your mouth now, don't scream!"
Seeing that the girl had not lost her mind, Gervis continued to whisper in Lolita's ear.
After saying that, Gervis smelled the faint fragrance on Lolita's body, and thought of Lolita's murderous eyes, so he blew a breath of hot air towards her earlobe.
Then Gervis left Lolita's shoulder and pretended nothing had happened.
Lolita's face was just changing, but when Gervis blew the wind, her whole body trembled.
And then…and then he could only continue to look at Gervis with murderous eyes!
After Gervis was sure that Lolita would not scream, he slowly withdrew his hand and turned his face away to avoid looking at the angry Lolita.
He just did a small action that was caused by some unknown reason. He didn't know why he was doing such a stupid thing at this time. Fortunately, the girl didn't get angry.
Of course, Gervis thought to himself: This girl's earlobe is actually her sensitive spot...
…
In the next five minutes, all the human youths in the hall had their arms trapped and were chained together in groups of more than ten. This was done by Yang Zuo to prevent someone from escaping when they walked outside.
The rope used in the new temple this time is made of mithril and special plant fiber. As long as it is tied tightly, even the White Flag Knight will be helpless. This rope is specially used to tie up titled knights or monsters.
Therefore, if there is no help from outsiders, Lolita and others will not be able to solve it on their own.
"Master Marshall, the hostages have been tied up!"
The new temple member who was near Gervis didn't realize that there was another Gervis in the crowd.
He reported directly to Marshall who was guarding Adela. After all, he had tied them up one by one before, and there was no need to count again after the last one.
As this side was tied up, the rest of the New Temple members had basically completed tying up the hostages.
"Okay, let's go now. If Edward and the others make any unusual movements, you must kill these hostages first!"
After confirming that the hostages had been tied up, the people from the New Temple prepared to evacuate, and Marshall gave instructions to everyone with a calm face before leading them away.
"Yes! Master Marshall!"
The new temple members were not surprised or questioning at all, and agreed in unison.
The more than one hundred young men who were held hostage turned pale when they heard these emotionless words.
In the past they had heard about how cruel and cold-blooded the New Temple was, but now they were experiencing it for real.
Afterwards, more than 20 members of the New Temple pushed more than a hundred human youths and slowly walked out of the hall.
There were a total of twenty-five members of the New Temple, plus Natali and the magician who arrived later.
Fifteen of them were arranged on the periphery of the hostages, while the rest stood in the center of the hostages, each leading more than ten hostages they had tied up.
Standing at the innermost of the hostages was Marshall. He held Adela in the center of all the people, which was also the safest place.
Leading the way in front of the crowd was the hall master named Netali.
As everyone slowly walked out of the banquet hall, only the orc youths were left in the hall, looking at each other in bewilderment.
These young orcs had no intention of rescuing anyone. Instead, after the people from the New Temple and Gervis and the others left the hall, they immediately started talking with gloating smiles.
…
When the New Temple members brought everyone hostage to the outside of this magnificent building, they saw that it was already surrounded by densely packed guards and city lords.
"Edward, get everyone out of the way now and open the gates to the inner and outer cities. If there are any obstacles on the way, we will start killing people immediately!"
Arriving at the square outside the building, Marshall stood in the center of the crowd and shouted at Edward.
"Get out of the way!"
Edward knew that Marshall could do what he said, so he didn't dare to let anyone stop him and immediately gave the order.
When the guards heard this, whether they were from Sky City or other Holy City forces, they all made way.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that the city lords and guards had obediently made way, Marshall gave an order to the members of the New Temple with great satisfaction.
Then Netali took the lead and led everyone towards the gate of the manor.
…
"Duke Edward, what should we do now?"
The people from the New Temple were walking in front holding the hostages, while Edward and others were following closely at a distance of dozens of meters.
At this time, several city lords who belonged to the Sky City’s allies began to ask.
"Marshall is holding everyone hostage and is definitely planning to escape. We cannot act rashly for now and can only make arrangements outside the city!"
Although Edward was also worried about Adela, he had to appease these allies.
Anyway, tonight's dinner was hosted by Sky City, because the New Temple took advantage of the trap.
"Waddington!"
Edward spoke to several city lords, and then immediately shouted to Waddington, who had been standing silently beside him.
"Your Excellency the Duke, I am here!"
"Take your men and wait ten miles outside the city. Marshall and his men can't escape with so many people after they leave the city, so after they release the heirs of the Holy City, you will act according to circumstances. If you can't save Adela, then follow their whereabouts!"
Edward's words were full of coldness. Waddington's negligence today had caused such a big incident.
"Yes! Your Excellency the Duke!"
Waddington responded immediately and then quickly left the crowd.
There is a 30-man griffin team in the Sky City’s base, so if there is really no chance to rescue Adela, they can only follow Marshall and others quietly and think of a way to rescue her later.
…
Edward found the situation very difficult and could only make plans after he got out of the city, but Gervis' eyes started darting around after he left the building.
Because it was already night, without the illumination of the deep-sea pearls or candlelight in the building, everyone's vision was restricted.
Not far from Gervis was a member of the New Temple. He was hiding among the hostages, holding the rope in one hand and a sword in the other, only two people away from Gervis.
In the current situation, it is impossible to rescue everyone at once. The only possibility is to defeat them one by one and quietly eliminate the New Temple members in the hostage center before dark.
Of course, it wasn't that Gervis was going to meddle in other people's business and save everyone, but if he wanted to get close to Marshall, he had to get through the crowd first.
And if he cleared out these New Temple members, it would be easier for him to rescue Adela and escape later, so he decided to deal with these ordinary members of the New Temple first.
…
After making his plans, Gervis took action immediately.
Gervis was seen pretending to walk while constantly pushing towards the knight with the white flag.
If one wanted to get close to the White Flag Knight, one had to squeeze past Lolita and a noble lady beside her.
As Gervis slowly exerted his strength, Lolita and the noble lady immediately felt the oppression coming from their bodies.
The noble lady was better off. The Gervis man was very handsome and had a bad reputation as a killer, so she didn't dare to say anything.
However, when Lolita felt the pressure in front of her, she immediately looked at Gervis with angry eyes.
Gervis naturally saw Lolita's gaze, and immediately winked at her to indicate that he was ready to take action and asked her to be quiet.
Seeing this, Lolita gritted her teeth and endured it.
In fact, Lolita was unhappy, and Gervis was even more unhappy. This girl had such a good figure, but now she had completely become an obstacle to their progress.
Every inch he moved forward felt difficult, especially since the White Flag Knight was so close, and Gervis didn't dare to use much strength.
It was a distance of less than one meter, but it took Gervis more than half a minute to finally squeeze through.
Fortunately, because everyone was walking and their bodies were shaking, and the White Flag Knight's attention was focused on the periphery, so when Gervis approached him, he was not discovered.
When Gervis came to the side of the White Flag Knight, a short blade appeared in his hand with a thought.
Then, without hesitation, Gervis raised both his hands under Lolita's intentional or unintentional gaze.
puff!
With an inaudible sound of penetration into the flesh, the short blade in his hand penetrated directly into the left rib of the White Flag Knight and pierced his heart from bottom to top.
Gervis's other hand was covering his mouth. The White Flag Knight wanted to scream at that moment, but Gervis covered his mouth tightly. The faint sound was masked by the messy footsteps around, so no one noticed the situation here.
Just a moment later, the White Flag Knight died silently, his whole body went limp and was directly held by Gervis.
After holding up the silent White Flag Knight, Gervis took the rope from his hand and untied the nearest young man with one hand.
After Gervis untied his rope, he winked at him and asked him to hold the body of the White Flag Knight.
After the young man understood, he immediately took the body and placed it beside him inconspicuously.
Then Gervis began to untie the ropes for other young men and women.
"Don't run now, pretend nothing happened, otherwise you will never be able to escape, and Marshall can kill all of you with one sword!"
As Gervis untied each person, he whispered something in their ear.
After hearing what Gervis said, these young men naturally did not dare to move and continued to move forward obediently.
Finally, Gervis untied Lolita's rope, and the group of people were free again, but they still needed to hold the ropes in their hands, pretending to be still tied up.
"I'm going to rescue the others now. You keep an eye on these people and don't let them do anything rash!"
Gervis leaned over to Lolita's ear again and whispered something.
"Um!"
Although there was still a little anger in Lolita's eyes, she finally remembered Gervis' favor and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Gervis didn't say much.
Then he bent over and squeezed to the edge of the group of more than ten people.
…
Because they were worried that there would be problems if they were too far apart, the people from the New Temple almost squeezed the hostages together as they walked.
Therefore, there was no space between the hostages. Gervis lowered his body and slipped into another group of hostages without worrying about being discovered by the people of the New Temple.
The only thing we need to worry about is whether these young people will cause trouble.
Fortunately, these people were still alert. Most of the heirs were much smarter than ordinary people. When they felt someone squeezing in, they did not make a sound immediately, but checked with their eyes first.
When they saw Gervis in a suit walking among them and pointing his finger at them and shushing, the young men immediately understood what was going on and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
With the cooperation of these young men, Gervis quickly came to the side of the second white flag knight.
puff!
Another barely audible sound was heard, and the second White Flag Knight also fell silent and limp in front of Gervis.
The young men around Gervis were filled with excitement and nervousness when they saw how Gervis dealt with the White Flag Knight so cleanly and efficiently.
Gervis didn't care about the young men's emotions. After killing the White Flag Knight, he followed the same method and handed the White Flag Knight's body to the young man next to him.
Then he gave instructions to everyone and untied their ropes. After doing all this, Gervis began to move among the crowd again.
