"Yes, yes, it's been half a day past the deadline, but those sentries have shown no intention of sending messengers and are completely out of contact."
The figure in black robes stood up from the recliner.
After pacing back and forth a few times, he looked down at the mermaid:
What is the distribution of those twenty-odd sentry posts?
"They're all on the outermost perimeter of the sentry post..."
The mermaid's voice was very soft, and she clearly knew that this was not a good sign.
It is highly likely that the enemy has gradually breached the sentry defenses from the outside.
But is this really possible? It had serious doubts about it.
Even if the enemy is strong, it's impossible for more than 20 sentry posts to be wiped out without even a single message being sent out, right?
Even if they couldn't defeat them, with nearly a hundred monsters at each outpost, not a single one managed to escape?
If that's the case, then the enemy's strength this time is absolutely terrifying.
It lowered its head, not daring to move, afraid that the black-robed figure would take its anger out on it.
In fact, the figure in black robes was indeed furious at this moment, his right fist clenched tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
After listening to the mermaid's description, he became even more convinced that the visitors were definitely gods.
Knowing that they were demons, their attempt to clear out the sentry posts he had set up was a blatant provocation, a way of giving him a hard time.
In the past, if he encountered this situation, he would definitely let this newcomer know that there are some beings he cannot afford to offend.
But now...
He felt the power gradually returning to his body and took a deep breath.
This time he held back.
"Pass down the message: shrink the area of operations again, appease the guys below, and tell them that this is only temporary. After three months, we'll settle our scores and grudges."
"clear."
……
……
A day later, Luo Xiu paddled his limbs and slowly rose to the surface of the sea.
Leila appeared beside him, just as the last invisibility potion on her body expired.
Looking at the long-awaited bright sunshine in the sky, Luo Xiu smiled, feeling that his body and mind, which had been immersed in seawater for a long time, had been dehumidified.
He casually crushed the mermaid in his hand, letting the mermaid's corpse slowly fall into the sea. His disguise was also removed, revealing his original appearance.
This mermaid is no longer the same one as before. Monsters are indeed difficult to enslave. After witnessing the fifth sentry with six level 5 monsters being destroyed by Luo Xiu, the original mermaid could no longer tolerate this behavior and self-destructed.
This one is now an unknown generation of replacement.
"Let's go home, Leila."
I don’t know if my actions have been noticed, but the original location of the sentry post has been changed. I followed the mermaid who had just died for a while but couldn’t find the new sentry post location.
Just to be on the safe side, Luo Xiu decided to return to the Knights for a temporary rest, as he had already used up the invisibility potion he carried with him.
This harvest was already amazing enough to allow his strength to leap to a new level, but he has been holding back from using it because he wanted to wait until the secondary familiars under Luo Le and the others were fully identified before adding points to maximize the use of his points.
I believe I can give Basil and the others a big surprise when I get back this time.
The two traveled at a rapid pace, and after confirming their direction, they moved forward at an incredible speed, almost cutting through the waves, and soon approached the location of the Knights.
At the Black Reef on the fourth front of the Knights of Rovanpu, several soldiers held binoculars and peered out. In the distance, they could see two snow-white straight lines rapidly approaching.
Snow-like waves splashed behind the two figures, reaching heights of tens of meters. The massive waves, stretching like mountains, were torn apart as easily as paper when they hit the two vertical lines.
"They're here, they're here, they're here!"
The soldiers couldn't make out the exact shape of the figures before the two waves, but they caught a glimpse of that familiar golden color and immediately ran back excitedly to find Basil and report the situation.
"came back?!"
Basil was equally excited and led everyone to prepare to greet them.
Before stepping out of the tent, she glanced at the weak figure lying on the bed in the corner of the tent and spoke softly:
"He's back. Don't worry, with him here, there won't be any problems."
After saying that, she led everyone out of the tent in a hurry.
Before they even got close to the shore, Luo Xiu and Leila had already successfully reached the shore.
Today, Luo Xiu was wearing a pure white robe, with a silver-white engraving around the brim of his hat, which looked particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
He smiled slightly as he looked at the crowd that had come to greet him.
"Long time no see, everyone."
Then he suddenly froze, because he could see from afar that Basil's eyes were full of anxiety.
"Something has happened to Tassanya."
The first thing Basil said made his lips sink.
Before he could ask what was going on, Basil dropped another bombshell:
"The people from the capital made the move; it was a sixth-tier individual."
"understood."
Luo Xiu's expression remained calm, revealing no hint of his emotions. He simply asked:
"Where is she now?"
The group quickly rushed to Basil's tent.
At this moment, Tassanya lay weakly on the bed, her face pale, her eyes closed, and her skin as cracked as porcelain, with large areas of it peeling off to reveal the red flesh underneath.
Hearing hurried footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Luo Xiu walking in front of her. She quickly braced herself on the bed and tried to stand up.
This scene was exactly like the first time Luo Xiu knocked her to the ground.
He tried to get up from the ground, but before he could, Luo Xiu pressed him down.
"Do not move."
Luo Xiu's expression was calm:
"We can talk about the proper etiquette after we've recovered."
Tassanya obediently did as she was told.
A healing white light instantly filled the tent, and visibly, the cracks on Tassanya's skin began to heal.
Once the cracks have completely healed, the areas where skin has peeled off begin to grow back rapidly.
Under the gentle light, streams of dark red energy surged from the areas where the skin had peeled off, seemingly trying to stop the healing process.
Behind them, Basil and the others looked grave. The guild leader who had previously brought in that fifth-tier priest had run into trouble at this step. The dark red energy seemed to have a strong corrosive effect and could not be completely cured.
Once the healing stops, the erosion will resume, and the cracks in the skin will reappear, this time more severe.
This is a sixth-tier technique; a fifth-tier priest can at most delay the damage, but cannot completely cure it.
But to everyone's delight, the dark red energy that was gushing out seemed to have met its nemesis when it encountered the white light. As soon as it appeared, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated as if it had been scorched by a raging fire.
Soon, Tassanya's wounds completely disappeared.
She excitedly stood up, stretched her limbs, and felt her body had returned to its peak condition. After letting out a clear and resounding dragon roar, she immediately knelt down on one knee before Luo Xiu:
"Thank you, Master!"
"what happened?"
Luo Xiu's tone was calm, just like his expression, but everyone in the tent felt a chill run down their spines.
A murderous intent was concealed beneath this calm tone, and anyone who tried to uncover it would likely pay a heavy price.
"Yes, it was Tassanya's mistake."
Tassanya's tall frame trembled slightly, and he quickly lowered his head to recount what had happened.
It turned out that after advancing to the fifth rank, she led the people of Kanriel to slaughter all the fairies in the Golden Apple Garden, and saved the lives of many people.
She had only one condition for protecting those people: hand over the golden apples she had obtained in exchange for their protection.
There were fifth-tier fairies in the Golden Apple Garden at that time, so everyone naturally chose to hand over the apples to save their lives.
But after Tassanya swept the Golden Apple Garden clean, many people's attitudes changed immediately after they left the garden.
Most people couldn't accept that Tarsaya had taken all the golden apples and wanted them back directly from her.
It's important to know that many of the top contenders from the capital city have entered the Golden Apple Garden this time. Without the Golden Apple, they would lose the opportunity to advance to the fifth tier, so they naturally wouldn't compromise.
A small number of people with powerful backing also developed greed for Tassanya.
This is a dragon! A real dragon!
Apart from what is recorded in books, no real dragon has appeared in Dorant for nearly a thousand years.
What's more, this true dragon is at the fifth rank!
The sheer power of a true dragon is evident from Tassanya's brutal beating of a group of fifth-tier fairies in the Golden Apple Garden.
The value of such a true dragon is simply immeasurable.
Therefore, those who had come with sixth-order beings directly relayed this news to the sixth-order beings behind them.
This news undoubtedly brought great joy to the sixth-tier player.
Even a sixth-order being is still just a human.
Humans are never satisfied.
A fifth-tier true dragon was enough to tempt them.
Therefore, three of the four Tier 6 beings who came to Rovanpu this time attacked Tassanya together, trying to capture her.
If it weren't for the three sixth-tier warriors fighting independently, and the sixth-tier warrior from Rovanpu Academy and another sixth-tier warrior from the capital city intervening at the last moment to cover Tassanya's escape, Tassanya would have already been captured.
"It was Tassanya's mistake; she acted too ostentatiously."
