Fortress of Dawn.

As Rosen followed Natalie, he secretly looked at the detailed structure inside the fortress and verified it with Ander's memory.

The three of them reached the third floor of the fortress and walked along a winding corridor to a large door, but were blocked by two armored warriors.

This warrior is two meters tall and extremely strong. His entire body is covered in dark blue armor that exudes a sense of industrial precision. The surface and inner layer of the armor are engraved with extremely detailed spell runes.

At first glance, it looks like a Rune Space Marine.

"Crack~~"

The dark blue spears in the hands of the two warriors crossed into a cross, and one of them uttered a deep and indifferent voice.

"Stop and accept identity check!"

Natalie stood still immediately and opened her arms.

Another warrior turned his head, and a faint light flickered back and forth several times in the slits of the helmet covered with dark blue crystals, and it made the same deep voice.

"Hand of the Dawn Natalie, your identity has been confirmed, please state your purpose."

Natalie pointed at the shadow assassin covered in blood behind her.

"There has been an unexpected emergency in the traitor elimination mission. I need to report the military situation to my father."

The soldier looked at the shadow assassin and said, "Step forward and accept the identity check."

The shadow assassin was obviously familiar with this process. He took a step forward, stretched out his arms with all his strength, and remained motionless.

The armored warrior continued to check.

During this time, Rosen remained silent and observed the armored warrior carefully.

"It turns out to be two eternal guardians."

The so-called Eternal Guardian is the same as the Dawn Guardian. It is a high-energy combat puppet with extremely amazing combat power.

Although the Eternal Guardian is several times smaller than the Dawnbreaker, its combat power is several times higher than that of the Dawnbreaker.

According to historical records, in a head-on confrontation, one Eternal Guardian can tie with three Dawnguards.

Therefore, the most powerful existence in the Mage Association is not the Eye of Dawn Mage, but these two high-energy warriors.

If these two high-energy warriors unleash their power and fight without restraint, they can raze Gray City to the ground in an instant.

But obviously, this is not allowed.

Because Adela told Rosen: "The Queen has issued a clear decree, strictly prohibiting the release of any high-powered offensive force on the ground."

This sentence obviously has a loophole, because although you can't actively attack, you can still defend and counterattack.

The Queen must have known that there was a loophole in this statement, but Rosen fully understood why she would issue such a loophole-ridden decree.

Because her control over the empire was too weak, every decree she issued was the product of compromise among multiple interests.

In other words, she specifically left a loophole for the imperial high-ranking officials to use to prevent the conflicts among the high-ranking officials from escalating.

"Just like the Dawn Empire, they are both the Dusk Empire."

While thinking, Rosen heard the voice of the Eternal Guardian: "Sir, please come forward for identity check."

Rosen immediately stepped forward and opened his arms to accept the scan of the Eternal Guardian.

He was not worried about being exposed at all because he had seen through the Eternal Guardian's scanning spell, and the strength of his disguise far exceeded the spell's resolution.

Soon, the Eternal Guardian said, "Ander, the Hand of Dawn, your identity has been confirmed and you are allowed to pass."

"Crack~"

Two dark blue weapons that looked like spears but were actually high-energy staffs were retracted to make way.

Natalie continued to lead the way forward.

After entering the passage, they walked for a while and came to a circular door made of thick high-energy rune barriers.

Natalie picked up the sapphire staff in her hand and tapped the rune gently: "Father, there is urgent military information."

The rune gate lit up slightly, and its texture gradually changed from solid to virtual, and a slightly vicissitudes of life voice was heard.

"Come in."

The three of them then passed through the rune gate one after another.

Behind the door was a study with multiple arches, which looked very solid. Between two thick pillars stood a circular desk filled with various documents and a very bright spell lamp.

Why light the lamp in broad daylight?

Because this study has no windows, even though it is on the third floor, it is as dark as a tomb.

Sitting behind the desk was a tall, thin old man with gray hair. He was Savos, the president of the Eye of Dawn Mage Society, who possessed a powerful soul of the 17th ring.

At this moment, he was reading a letter of excellent texture.

Without looking at the content of the letter, just by looking at the paper production process, Rosen knew that this must be an industrial product of the High Energy Empire.

Looking at the irrepressible humility on the old man's face, it is entirely possible to infer that the contents of the letter are most likely from some big shot in Moon City.

Seeing his daughter coming, Savos put the letter carefully and looked at the injured shadow assassin again.

"Did we fail in hunting down the traitor?"

Natalie nodded solemnly and said to the shadow assassin behind her: "Tell me the details of the battle."

The Shadow Assassin began to describe the entire process of the pursuit in detail. At the beginning, the opponent had no room for resistance, and then the situation suddenly turned around, and his side was unable to fight back at all.

After saying this, the assassin's eyes showed uncontrollable fear.

"President, those traitors were very fanatical and fearless during the battle, and they kept shouting a name. Some shouted 'Sun God of War', and some shouted 'The Great Rosen'."

Savos listened carefully, frowning slightly: "Sun War God Rosen. Is he another mysterious strong man hiding behind the scenes to make trouble?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, he looked at the Shadow Assassin and said, "I understand. Go find the doctor to treat your injuries, have a good rest, and keep your mouth shut. Don't spread what happened today."

"Yes, President."

Only President Savos and the two Hands of Dawn were left in the study.

Savos looked at his daughter Natalie.

"This mysterious and powerful person behind the scenes must be from Moon City. He is most likely the old enemy of Count Gauntkin, trying to use the Dragon Mountain Brotherhood to seize the territory of Gray City."

Natalie immediately nodded in agreement: "Father, I think so too."

"I believe that the other party must be fully prepared. It will be difficult for us, the Eye of Dawn, to fight against this mysterious strongman alone, so we must quickly seek help from the Earl."

Savos nodded. "You are right. Ander, what is the current situation of the Earl's envoy?"

Rosen's face turned stern, and he immediately walked forward to report: "President, this Earl's envoy named Alex is very powerful, but he has a very dissolute personality. As soon as he found me, he asked me to take him to a brothel for fun."

"I tried to dissuade him, but he was very adamant. I had no choice but to take him to Happy Bird."

The truth is that in order to please the messenger, Ander praised the Happy Birds to the skies, which made Alex feel a little moved, and he agreed to go to the Happy Birds to see

But now, Alex has been completely tamed by Liv, so naturally no one will expose his lies.

However, although it cannot be exposed, suspicion does exist.

Natalie knew Ander very well and snorted coldly when she heard this.

"Ender, you're very clever in disclaiming all responsibility. I've heard it said that this absurd thing was your idea."

Rosen immediately and loudly proved his innocence.

"Yes, it was my idea to go to the Birds' Fun, but it was Lord Alex who asked me to have fun. I just tried my best to fulfill his wish."

Natalie still didn't believe it at all, but she had no evidence to doubt Rosen, so she could only roll her eyes at him: "A bunch of losers who only know how to have fun!"

Savos frowned slightly and warned in a cold voice: "Natalie, remember, you can insult Ander as much as you want, because this guy is indeed a bastard, but never bring the Earl's envoy with you!"

Natalie concentrated and immediately said, "Yes, father."

Although he said so, Rosen could still vaguely sense the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Obviously, this proud female sorceress has very limited respect for Moon City.

Savos turned to look at Rosen again: "Where is Alex now?"

"Happy bird."

Savos frowned, "You just left him and came back alone?"

Rosen ‘hastily’ defended himself: “No, President, it was Master Alex who sent me back. He said he hadn’t had enough fun yet and didn’t want to be disturbed by me.”

"I thought this was ridiculous and tried to dissuade him, but it was completely ineffective. He even threatened me with magic."

"I have no choice but to leave the people of the Iron Stone Gang to look after them and then run back to deliver the letter to you."

Savos was skeptical. "Although this is Alex's first time in the mortal world, I've heard that he is not a person who likes pleasure too much. How could he be addicted to brothels?"

Having said this, he glared at Rosen, his dark blue eyes shining brightly.

"Andre, if you dare to tell a lie, I will not only remove you from your position as Hand of Dawn, but I will also let you have a taste of barbecue!"

Rosen immediately bowed deeply and swore, "President, if Ander tells even one falsehood, I will be tortured on the iron rack of the fortress for three days!"

The so-called three-day punishment is a horrific punishment in which the person is roasted by fire starting from the limbs for three days before dying.

So when he heard this, Savos believed it 90% and his brows furrowed even more.

"Why is Alex's character different from the description in the Count's letter?"

Natalie also believed Ander's words, because in her memory, Ander was a cowardly and shameless person.

Now that he has made such a solemn oath without hesitation, it means that he is telling the truth.

She snorted coldly: "Father, in my opinion, it must be this Alex who used connections to climb up to the Count's path."

Savos also speculated so.

He felt a little headache, covered his forehead and thought for a while, then said: "Daughter, you and Ander go to Happy Bird together and invite Lord Alex back. Tell him that I have something very important to discuss with him."

"Yes, father, I'll go right away!"

Natalie acted decisively and turned away.

After walking a few steps, he turned back and urged Rosen: "Hurry up, Andre!"

Savos was worried about his daughter. After all, the current situation in Gray City was not peaceful. He immediately said, "Take the Guards with you."

"I understand, father."

Natalie waved her hand in response, then added.

"Father, what if Lord Alex really indulges himself in the brothel and refuses to come back?"

"Then kill all the prostitutes in the brothel in front of him, and then burn the brothel down so that he won't be addicted to it."

When saying these words, Savos's tone was as calm as if he was crushing an ant to death.

Rosen thought to himself, "This president is a ruthless character. In order to maintain his position, he might do anything."

Natalie was slightly startled when she heard this: "Father, maybe killing one or two to shock the enemy will be enough?"

"No, we must kill them all! So that the girls in the city will know when to open their legs and when to remain reserved."

Natalie nodded and replied, "Yes, father."

Although she agreed, she didn't muster enough killing intent in her heart.

Rosen understood clearly: "The president is a ruthless person. It's a pity that his daughter has only learned the form but not the essence."

In other words, there is still room for this daughter to reform her thinking.
