“Weng!”
Just as Capeline and her Broken Blade Knight Order gradually moved away, within the rumbling waterfall, a buzzing sound echoed, and another movement occurred.
A stone wall slowly rose, separating the water flow and splitting the waterfall, revealing a stone passage that entered Shien Buztout’s sight.
Inside the stone passage, a dense crowd of figures, far more than before, could be seen.
In the next second, they surged out like a school of fish, carrying a powerful aura.
They were all knights.
Knights from all over the world.
Wearing different equipment, they were divided into groups, emerging from the passage and surrounding the entire area.
Shien watched this scene without moving a muscle, standing there like a statue.
Thus, numerous knights filled the area, completely surrounding it.
Shien was surrounded by a large number of knights, even enveloped by their powerful aura.
The knights stared at the cloaked mysterious figure before them, their eyes gleaming fiercely.
Looking closely, their eyes flickered with a ghastly green light, making them look like ghostly soldiers from hell, a terrifying sight.
And among them, the most terrifying, with the fiercest aura and the strongest green light in his eyes, was Limgir.
Limgir was the leader of this army, standing at the forefront of the knights, facing Shien from afar, his expression incredibly cold.
“—”
The atmosphere solidified.
The air pressure plummeted.
A heavy pressure filled the area, creating a chilling silence.
“Is it you?”
Limgir spoke.
“The rat who sneaked into our sanctuary, is it you?”
Limgir stared coldly at Shien, a flicker of doubt appearing in his mind for a moment.
Why did this person seem somewhat familiar?
This thought arose in Limgir’s mind.
But this thought was quickly replaced by killing intent and anger.
There was no helping it.
Limgir was truly angry and had the urge to tear the mysterious person before him to pieces.
At first, Limgir was sent outside by the High Priest to search for the intruder.
As a result, Limgir found nothing. Not long after he returned to report, something happened in the base.
And it was a big deal.
Just now, the High Priest called Limgir back and scolded him furiously, telling him that someone had infiltrated the base and silently taken away the Imperial Consort’s “toys” in the basement.
This made Limgir unable to believe it.
He had thoroughly searched the area, and the base was hidden, with the High Priest’s [Corridor of Death] constantly on guard. Logically, it should be impossible for anyone to sneak in and take people away without being detected.
Especially since so many female knights in the basement were all silently taken out of the base. That was unbelievable.
This was something that seemed impossible to accomplish.
But no matter what, facts were facts. The basement was indeed empty.
Although Limgir had never been to the basement, and even the High Priest had never been there, no one except the Imperial Consort had ever entered. However, the High Priest’s [Corridor of Death] couldn’t detect any life force in the basement, proving that besides the undead, no one was left.
This was both the High Priest’s negligence and Limgir’s negligence.
The High Priest flew into a rage, venting her anger on Limgir, and Limgir naturally could only vent his anger on Shien, the culprit.
“Speak!”
Limgir released a powerful killing intent and magic power, mixed with a chilling aura, towards Shien.
“How did you do it?”
This was the only thing Limgir cared about.
He suspected that there might be some problem within the base that allowed someone to infiltrate silently and take so many people away.
Perhaps there was an inside man.
Or perhaps there was a secret passage.
Either way, he had to figure it out.
Otherwise, that venomous Consort wasn’t a pushover. If she blamed them, not only him but even the High Priest would suffer the consequences.
Unfortunately…
