Chapter 552 I Must Take This Batch of Equipment

Innocence City.

The elite members of the Iris Legion were ordered to board the ship and evacuate. Seeing this situation, the survivors in the city rushed toward the dock.

No one knows what happened to these bugs, and no one knows what the ‘Mysterious Bug Mother, Kalakta’ means.

But even a fool can understand that the ninth-level marshal of the Iris Legion ordered the evacuation. It must be because the insect plague cannot be controlled, and the higher-ups have given up on Innocence City.

Previously, the survivors still held some hope that the top knights in the southern continent could deal with the insect plague, but now the evacuation has made everyone dead in their determination to fight the insects.

If the fight to the death continued, it might take ten and a half days for those bugs to destroy the humans in Innocence City.

But now that the evacuation order is given, the army is defeated like a mountain.

The elites from various strongholds in the city took the lead in breaking out and evacuating, while the others were even more unwilling to fight and evacuated as if the embankment collapsed.

Soon each stronghold was attacked by insects one by one.

As Ji Xun said, in the eyes of people in the Southern Continent, magic towers and magic artillery are much more valuable than some unusable mechanical equipment.

The Titan armor cannot be stored in the storage space, and the space on the Void Dragon ship is limited, and not much mechanical equipment can be crammed into it.

The situation was urgent, and the members of the Iris Legion had no intention of taking away the captured mechanical equipment from the warehouse.

On the tower, Ji Xun and Reni were still observing the Third Army warehouse a few blocks away from Downing Street, and were not in a hurry to go there.

Needless to say, anyone who dares to pay attention to those machines now will definitely be beheaded by the Iris senior management.

The main force in this game was the Oran Royal Court. Ji Xun had no intention of attracting firepower, so he waited patiently.

However, a magical scene happened in an instant.

Ji Xun suddenly discovered that the coordinates left on Lei Ke could no longer be sensed!

The magic is here.

The coordinates didn't move away a little bit, but suddenly disappeared!

"Teleported outside the city? Could it be the space teleportation array?"

Ji Xun's expression was also wonderful for a moment.

He wasn't surprised that the people from the Oran Royal Court would escape, but he didn't expect that such bizarre methods would be used.

You must know that Ji Xun himself is proficient in spatial displacement, but even at the eighth level, his ability to teleport one or two kilometers at a time is the limit.

Now that Lake has disappeared from the range of perception, that is to say, he teleported at least dozens of kilometers?

Thinking of this, Ji Xun also felt very interested.

The normal marking method completely lost its target this time.

Not only him, but also those who were following the Iris Legion were probably confused at this moment.

Originally, those guys must have thought about using this bit of bait to see if they could catch something last, but now, the bait has disappeared out of thin air!

I don’t know where to start even if I want to pursue it.

Fortunately, Ji Xun had thought of this possibility before and got double insurance.

He patted Ivan who was sleeping in his pocket and sensed the spatial coordinates left on Lake's body.

With this perception, the guy was actually seventy kilometers outside the city!

Being able to teleport so far, Ji Xun came up with the only reasonable explanation and thought in his mind: "Is it the spatial ability of the 'Mysterious Insect Mother - Kalakta'? Divine magic - wormhole?"

He had seen before that this female insect could create [Void Mantis], insects with space talents, and he had already expected that she could do this and be good at space laws.

Some of the ancient palace books of the Oran royal family also recorded related magical arts.

However, it was the first time that Ji Xun saw this kind of group transfer ability with his own eyes. Ji Xun also found it very magical.

Being able to transfer military power over a large area, no wonder the insect army is so terrifying.

Looking at it this way, not only the captured prisoners, but also the mechanical equipment were probably transferred at the same time.

"Hehe, that's a good plan."

Ji Xun muttered in his heart and led Reni towards the outside of the city.

With the piece of black bread in their hands, the two of them soon left the Innocence City without any hindrance.

But after leaving the city, Ji Xuncai became more and more surprised: "The spatial coordinates have been distorted? This wormhole actually has the effect of interfering with perception. Tsk, tsk, in this way, the top experts of the Iris Legion will not be able to locate their position."

After chasing for a while, I realized that the mysterious female insect was really clever in its methods.

Not only did Lake and the others teleport more than 70 kilometers to a safe area outside the city, but even more brilliantly, the spatial coordinates were hidden.

It's like the refraction of light in the water. It looks like the fish is somewhere, but it's not actually there.

The distortion created by the mother worm near the wormhole was still irregular. Even though he knew that the coordinates were outside the city, Ji Xun jumped in the air.

Double insurance, almost foolproof.

Fortunately, Ivan's spatial ability is very special. As soon as he got close, he sensed it and after correcting the route several times, he finally located the exact location of Lake's people.

At this moment, in the rock formations above Innocence City, there was an unnamed mountain near Shangbang Prison.

A team of dozens of people had just teleported out of the twisted wormhole. Most of them were still wearing slave collars. They were the mechanics and high-level prisoners who had been held as bait in Innocence City.

Also transported along with them were a large number of boxes and the half-finished Titan armor.

And in the heart of the mountain, there was a group of people waiting for a long time.

Judging from the noble crests of staffs and owls they wore, most of the people who responded were the "Herlanders, a clan of forbidden curse masters", one of the famous four knights of the king.

Two months ago, the "667 Secret Mechanical Research Institute" was breached, and it was the Herlandes clan who was responsible for guarding that base.

The base was breached by the Iris Legion, and the new King of Orlan was offended, so of course their clan took on the task of this Innocence City.

"Patriarch, most of the key components of the Titan production line are here! The 003 armor is also intact. It's just that the blueprint is not there."

"Yeah. It's expected that those guys didn't put the blueprints together. It's enough to get these equipment back. Let's leave quickly, and clean up the collars and suspicious items on the way."

"Yes, Patriarch."

"."

After checking the equipment, the people who responded also breathed a sigh of relief.

The stolen equipment is one of the two production lines that can produce Titan armor in the Orlan Royal Court, and the semi-finished armor is also an important strategic item that has exhausted the rare magic metal collected by the Royal Court.

Now the things are back, and most of the losses have been recovered.

As for the Titan blueprints, the Royal Court has a backup, so it doesn't matter whether it can be retrieved or not.

The blueprints fell into the hands of those people in the southern continent, and they were of no use. Thinking that machinery was taboo in the southern continent, it was likely to be burned, and there was no need to worry.

After roughly counting the items, these people did not dare to stay. One by one, the porters controlled the mechanical arms to lift the heavy equipment. Everyone followed the original plan and quietly left along the planned evacuation route.

The leader of the response was a white-haired old woman.

Her name was Elsa Herlandes.

Although she was not one of the four knights of the king of this generation, she was the patriarch of the Herlandes family.

This time, in addition to retrieving the mechanical equipment that the royal court had ordered to be taken back, their forbidden spell master clan also had one more thing, which was to rescue the forbidden spell genius of their Herlandes family, Rick, alive!

Because this was related to the inheritance of the family bloodline.

Rick had shown an extraordinary affinity for thunder since he was a child. In the talent test of the family later, his affinity for thunder elements was the best in the court of the Orlan royal court in the past three thousand years.

This is a natural talent for forbidden spells.

If nothing unexpected happens, Rick will also be the next King's Four Knights!

For this reason, the old patriarch Elsa did not hesitate to take risks and came in person.

Seeing that his grandson was safe, the old man's face, which had been gathering at the center of his brows, finally relaxed.

The sound of neat boilers was endless.

The atmosphere was not tense.

They knew the plan of the royal court this time very well, and they also knew that danger has always been only in the city of innocence. Now that they have come out, it is impossible for others to catch up with them.

Walking on the mountain road, Elsa checked the body of this grandson. After confirming that no one from the southern continent had done anything to him, she was completely relieved and burst into tears: "Xiao Ke, you have been wronged during this period."

Looking at this grandmother who has spoiled him since he was a child, Rick comforted him: "Grandma, I'm fine."

The old man sighed and sighed repeatedly, saying that it was good to be alive.

At the same time, she looked at her grandson's neck and found that there was no slave collar. She was a little confused and said cautiously: "Xiao Ke, tell grandma what happened during the time you were captured by those people from the South Continent."

There was nothing wrong with his body, but if something happened to him mentally, that would be a big problem.

However, after asking this question, she realized that she had thought too much. The people of the South Continent looked down on Donghuang, who were geniuses who made treasures. At most, they were high-level slaves.

Rick told her about his experience of being captured during this period, which was basically interrogation and torture, and then imprisonment.

The intelligence personnel of the South Continent knew almost everything he knew, and there was nothing to ask.

Then he was used as bait and imprisoned in the City of Innocence until he was auctioned recently.

After hearing this, the old man was surprised and said, "You mean someone saved you before?"

"Yes."

When Rick saw the old man's expression, he looked as if it was just as he expected, and said, "I said it was definitely not someone sent by you, grandma. That guy also said that he was "asked by a friend". Haha, it seems that some other forces want to take advantage of Titan."

But thinking back to the scene in the restaurant before, he felt that the guy's aura was very special.

It was obviously not strong, but the aura seemed to be engraved in his mind and could not be driven away.

However, as soon as this was said, the old man asked back: "That person said that he was entrusted by a friend? What does he look like? Did he tell you his name?"

Rick: "That guy pretended to be a merchant from the southern continent. He looks good, but he is too arrogant. He is very cautious and has never revealed his true identity. But before, a woman with compound eyes came to him and said that she knew someone named JOKER?"

The old man asked again: "Did you see any mechanical arms on him?"

Rick didn't know why his grandmother asked this, but he also said in a certain tone: "No."

The old man couldn't hide a trace of concern in his tone: "Is that person safe?"

Rick didn't understand the emotion that had been remembered for decades, and said truthfully: "I don't know. The woman with compound eyes seemed to know him, so she didn't kill him. But then the insect plague came, and the whole city"

"."

Hearing this, the old man's cloudy eyes also fell into contemplation.

This Elsa, the head of the Herlanders family, is an old friend of Reni.

When they were young, they were childhood sweethearts and playmates who grew up together and loved each other.

Later, the families arranged a marriage. At that time, Reni was the most talented heir of the God of Play family, and his family arranged a marriage with another person.

Elsa and Reni did not get together.

This is normal in the aristocratic class.

Later, Reni suddenly defected from the God of Play family, and his life and death were unknown, and the two had no contact again.

Elsa knew that Reni's character would never defect, and guessed that there was another hidden story, but she was sad but helpless.

At that time, she happened to be pregnant, thinking that her childhood sweetheart was missing, she left her bloodline.

It was not until a few years ago that she saw the God of Play family wanted Reni, and she knew that her old friend was not dead.

It happened that her people found Reni first, and the two had contact, which led to the following story.

Originally, Elsa planned to keep the secret in the grave, but the current situation left her with no choice.

She wanted to save her own grandson, Rick, so she thought of her old friend in Innocence City.

Although she knew that the royal court had a plan, the plan was extremely risky and the probability of Rick being rescued alive was extremely low.

At that time, almost all of the secret agents of the royal court in the City of Innocence had been pulled out. She was desperate and could only seek help from her old friend.

After all, Rick was also the grandson of Reni.

Then there was the incident of Reni going to rescue people.

Thoughts raced in her mind and Elsa sighed.

After hearing Rick's story, the old man had guessed that it was her old friend who took action.

Otherwise, no one would risk their own life and go out to save people in that situation.

Rick Jian sighed at his grandmother and asked with concern: "What's wrong, grandma? Am I okay?"

The old man forced a smile and looked at the handsome grandson in front of him. After all, he didn't tell the truth. He only said: "No matter who it is, he saved you after all, and never hurt you from beginning to end. You should always be grateful."

"Oh."

Rick seemed to understand, but he also responded.

The old woman spoke, her complicated thoughts lasting for a long time.

She has lived for most of her life, and as an old woman of the Oran court, she has seen too much.

Power struggles have always been cruel, even within the four major knight families, there are conspiracies and intrigues.

She even suspected that some believers of the Outer Gods, and even the royal family itself, played some dishonorable roles in the previous attack on the "667 Secret Mechanical Research Institute".

The King's Four Knights are not only the guardians of the royal power, but also the decision-makers of some court affairs.

Their Herlandes family has always been firmly opposed to the "conservatives" of the royal court using the two sealed seven monarchs of the natural disaster.

After all, these old people in the royal court can certainly see endless troubles.

But this also made King Arthur very unhappy.

Especially recently, His Majesty's [Tyrant] sequence has been promoted too quickly, and has gradually been backlashed by the devil's mark.

Violence has overwhelmed reason, and His Majesty's orders have become more and more arbitrary recently.

The seal of "Mysterious Worm Mother Karakta" was unlocked to a certain extent this time, which was the result of His Majesty the King's rage and his willful behavior after the "667 Research Institute Incident".

However, even so, as the King's Four Knights Family, the first knight code they must follow is: loyalty. Even if the royal family needs to pay a heavy price for the wrong decree, they will bear that price together.

They will definitely execute His Majesty the King's orders.

Although the restoration of the Orlan Royal Court was successful, it also reached the highest level of control of the Orlan Royal Family over the Eastern Wilderness in the past three thousand years.

But the current situation has confused Elsa.

The Silver Moon Sect has already dominated the government, and now the Outer God has been released again.

Even she, the ruler of the King's Four Knights Family, felt a sense of powerlessness.

Even if the Royal Court really fights back to the Central Continent from the Eastern Wilderness one day, will the person in power still be King Augustus?

Now it seems that neither the Moon God nor the Outer God can be controlled by human power.

The situation that once destroyed the Talen Dynasty seemed to be repeated.

Thinking of this, the old woman sighed again.

She could not see the future of the Kashi civilization.

Although she had rescued the equipment and people of the institute as planned today, she was more and more worried.

But I don't know why.

It seemed that she was coming to the end of her life. She looked down on power and interests.

Now that she had rescued her most beloved grandson, it seemed that she had no worries.

Instead, the old woman thought of her old friend and murmured something that only she could hear, "It would be nice if we could see each other for the last time."

Rick didn't know what his grandmother was worried about, so he could only follow silently.

However, just when the group thought that they could not be caught up.

Without warning, a loud shout suddenly rang out in the team: "Who is it!"

More than a hundred pairs of eyes looked over and saw that two cloaked people appeared on the stalagmites on both sides of the road at some point.

Ji Xun looked at the Orlan Royal Court team that he had finally caught up with and smacked his lips: "Oh my, it's really not easy to catch up with you guys."

Fortunately, they are not too far from the Innocence City, otherwise he really can't say if he can stop them.

Hearing this little muttering, Reni's eyes twitched violently.

Originally, he thought there might be some surprise attack plan, or a powerful comrade, otherwise they wouldn't chase them so rashly.

However, he never expected that they would block the way of these people so blatantly.

You know, in front of you are the elites of the Herlanders family, the king's four knights.

crazy,

Must be crazy.

But why did he and this guy do such a crazy thing together?

Feeling the needle-like killing intent, Reni couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

But he was surprised, and he didn't have much fear.

Anyway, I don't live much longer, so I came here because I wanted to see my old friend one last time.

It seems like you have nothing to lose by following along and going crazy.

Seeing the two men blocking the team's path so arrogantly, everyone in the Oran Palace felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and at the same time they were not sure where the two men were coming from.

The first old man asked: "Who are you?"

Ji Xun knows this guy and has met him many times.

"Forbidden Curse Master" Qiao Lin, one of the King's Four Knights.

But the last time we met, it was in the Shenxu Treasure House, and those four guys were beaten up by Gong Wu together.

At that time, he was still a legendary card master, but now it looks like he is at the eighth level?

"Tsk tsk. Moon God's dream space is really a weapon for cultivating top-level card masters."

Ji Xun sighed in his heart.

This is the foundation of the royal family.

Not surprisingly, those who were able to advance to legend in that environment were all extremely talented people.

Upon hearing the inquiry, Ji Xun also opened his cloak generously, revealing his face full of teasing smiles.

If it really comes to a fight, you can't hide your career sequence.

After all, his reputation in Donghuang is not small.

He was wanted almost all the way from his days as a katu.

Ji Xun remembered the last time he was wanted in the Eastern Wasteland. It was the last time he and Qin Ruzhi went to the Bai Family's Thieves City, and then killed the people from the Holy Holy See of the Southern Continent who came to hunt Ivan.

His face should be familiar to all the senior officials of Oran Royal Court.

Sure enough, seeing his face revealed, most of the people in the Oran Palace on both sides of the road recognized him.

The old people can still keep their composure, but the young people can't.

Although Lake knew about Ji Xun on the wanted poster, this was his first time meeting him in person. He felt vaguely familiar.

Looking at this guy's temperament and the weird smile on his lips, I suddenly realized: "It's you!"

Isn't this exactly the same as the guy who bought me before?

Seeing Ji Xun appear here, Lake was not stupid and immediately thought of something: "You are really here for the Titan mecha!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Oran Palace became nervous.

"Ah, it's me."

Ji Xun looked at the murderous crowd of more than a hundred people and grinned, showing no fear at all.

Instead, he looked at Lake and couldn't help but joke: "You're not stupid. I'm really here for these devices."

"you"

Reike was so angry after hearing this fair and just words of robbery. Do you really think that there is no one in my clan of forbidden spell masters? ! ! !

The two sides were at war with each other and were about to fight.

Elsa, the old patriarch in the center of the team, shouted softly: "Wait!"

She had just looked at each other with "Forbidden Curse Master" Qiao Lin, and knew that the person in front of her was very powerful and it might not be rational to take action.

At the same time, she also saw another person beside Ji Xun, and she became inexplicably looking forward to it.

Reike on the side saw that Ji Xun was not hiding, so he also lifted his cloak, revealing an old face that had recently been popular on wanted notices.

Others didn't think much of this appearance, but when the old patriarch Elsa looked at it, her eyes trembled instantly.

When old friends met, both of them were filled with emotion.

But in front of so many people, none of them said a word.

After looking at each other silently, Elsa's eyes turned into doubts: Are you helping outsiders to harm me?

Of course Lennie knew his old friend had misunderstood.

Although it is true that Ji Xun came to rob him.

But not to harm her.

If it was before, if Reni knew that Ji Xun's purpose was to rob the Titan armor, he would definitely not show up.

He and Ji Xun are friends, so he also likes to hear about the things being robbed from the Oran Palace.

It doesn't matter as long as the old friend and grandson are fine.

But now that he has appeared, more importantly, Reni knows that there is another legitimate King Augustus!

After knowing this truth, he knew very well that all the loyalty of the current Four Knights family to the "false king" seemed so stupid.

Far from harming his old friends, he corrects their mistakes.

But it was obviously not the right time to say these words.

Reni looked at his old friend's confused and gradually angry eyes and quietly avoided them.

He glanced at Ji Xun next to him again and sighed slightly in his heart.

He really didn't know what this person was planning.

Can't explain it now.

The two sides faced off like this.

Obviously, the more than 100 people from the Oran Royal Court have an absolute numerical advantage, and they also have the top combat power of "Forbidden Curse Master" Qiao Lin.

It stands to reason that as long as they don't come to the ninth level, they can handle it.

However, even though they were blocked on the road by Ji Xun and the others, everyone was silent, and no one dared to act impulsively.

Because the joking smile on Ji Xun's face gave people a very strange and uneasy feeling.

It seems that if they take action, they will definitely suffer disaster.

Although Ji Xun didn't look at Reni, he noticed the resentful look between him and the old woman.

Ji Xun grinned, confirming that the relationship between the two was indeed deep.

Rather than an old friend being taken advantage of.

What others didn't know was that it was precisely because of this confirmation that the violent killing intent in Ji Xun's eyes subsided.

Otherwise, he really didn't think that these people in front of him could stop him from robbing the goods.

They confronted each other for two breaths.

Ji Xun took the initiative to speak, but he didn't say anything related to the goods. Instead, he asked some seemingly irrelevant questions: "Are you from the Herlandes family?"

The team finally got the old woman to speak: "So what?"

Although she knew that the two people saved her grandson, she didn't give them a good look.

She wasn't stupid.

Judging from the current situation, the two people saved people with bad intentions.

They must have left a mark on her grandson, so they could chase him.

Ji Xun did not explain much, and continued to ask: "I am curious about a question. Are you loyal to King Augustus, or to the Orlan royal family?"

The old woman did not know why he asked this, and sneered: "Humph! I don't know who you are. But our Herlandes family is the king's guardian knight, you don't want to sow discord! No matter what you say, it is meaningless."

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh. Then you are loyal to King Augustus?"

Some things are not suitable to be said in public.

Telling the truth now will not only fail to achieve the purpose of persuading surrender, but will be regarded as having ill intentions.

"."

The old woman did not respond after hearing this.

It cannot be denied, and it cannot be denied.

Ji Xun did not ask more.

That's enough.

The old woman was a little confused about the purpose of the two people, and asked again: "Excuse me, what is the meaning of stopping us?"

The tone of voice carries the domineering of the king's knight family, and it cleverly expresses the attitude that they do not want to fight, but are not afraid of a fight to the death.

Ji Xun looked at the old woman, took another look, and sighed: "As expected of the old patriarch of the Herlandes family."

It has to be admitted that these old nobles are indeed very powerful.

But the camps are different, and Ji Xun will never be soft-hearted if he kills.

He glanced at the mechanical equipment in the team and said directly: "I must take this batch of goods away."

Before the more than 100 people below got angry, he said directly: "But because my friend has an old relationship with your family. I don't want to embarrass you. After all, you know that this place is not far from the City of Innocence. If a fight really breaks out, I don't care, but you will definitely not be able to get away."

Upon hearing this, Reni's eyelids twitched, and he glanced at Ji Xun beside him. That expression seemed to say: Mentioning me at this time doesn't feel like a favor, but a hatred.

Sure enough, his old lover glared at him angrily.

Reni didn't realize at this time that Ji Xun's words were really a great favor given because of his friend's face.

Ji Xun must take this batch of goods away.

If he really encounters resistance, he really doesn't mind. He can kill everyone here by himself.

The more than 100 people of the Herlandes family were furious.

They were about to take action.

However, the old patriarch ordered again: "Stop!"

Her experience has long been able to see through people's hearts, but looking at the young man with a treacherous smile on his face, she couldn't figure it out.

But she had a strong sense of crisis in her heart, as if if she really took action, there would definitely be very bad consequences.

Looking at her old friend Reni again, the old woman had an incredible thought: Could it be that he is really helping me?

But why did he join forces with outsiders?

The old patriarch pondered for a moment, and finally asked Ji Xun: "What do you want?"

Hearing this, Ji Xun smiled brightly and said: "How about this, large-scale battles are not appropriate. How about we duel?"

This proposal is beneficial to both parties.

The people of the Herlandes family did not dare to speak out.

Ji Xun himself didn't want to be targeted by the top warriors of the Iris Legion just for getting these goods.
