King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 850: Fellow Countryman Meets Fellow Countryman
"call out--"

The sharp whistle resounded through the sky, causing everyone present to look at it. Diluk and his men had anticipated this, and before the executive officers could react, they had already run outside.

"retreat!"

Everyone changed their previous attitude of not wanting to fight and quickly withdrew from the battle, leaving only their backs to the executive officers.

"..."

"I really underestimate you."

The Clown lowered his head and looked forward. The moment the Heart of God was touched by someone else, he understood that the purpose of this group of people was not to deceive the fools, but to steal the Heart of God!
"But at the same time, you underestimated me."

After saying that, the clown's mouth moved and bursts of whispers came out of his mouth.

All kinds of flashing lights in the distance suddenly dissipated, and the people who were running only felt that the elemental power around them was so thin that even simple strengthening of the body was impossible.

"The elemental power...disappeared!"

Suddenly, Diluk felt weak under his feet and almost stumbled and fell down. He stood firm and tried to hide quickly, but was stopped by the barrier that surrounded him.

"boom!"

The two-handed sword smashed hard on the barrier, causing only a ripple and then nothing happened.

"Elemental Shield?!"

Diluk looked at the vibrating greatsword in his hand in surprise. This feeling could not be wrong. It was exactly the same as the feeling he had felt countless times when he slashed at the shield of the Abyss Mage.

But now this elemental shield actually enveloped him. Through the twisted shield, Diluk saw that not only him, but other fleeing companions were also trapped by elemental shields of various colors.

A shield that protects against attack can be an excellent cage if used properly.

"Boom!"

After another unsuccessful attack, Diluk realized that the elemental shield in front of him could not be broken simply by physical attack.

So he reached to his waist, and a bottle of flowing aqua-blue essential oil appeared in his hand.

The elemental shield that imprisoned him was a fire element shield. Using water element alchemical essential oil, it should be possible to break it.

But the Clown didn't even wait for him to make any new move before waving his hand. Countless elemental shields of different colors seemed to be connected by ropes, waving along with the Clown's arm.

"You can't escape, and neither can they." He spread out his other palm, and the rune on the palm lit up, and a spiraling portal appeared beside him.

After throwing the imprisoned people into the portal, the Harlequin walked in himself.

"ended."

The opponent who had just made her feel difficult was now being controlled by the clown like a lamb to be slaughtered. Even though the puppet was indifferent, she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

"Now that the commander-in-chief has taken action, it's time to end it." The rooster wiped the blood from the corner of his nose, turned around and left.

The area near the palace became empty, and the scarlet that was wrapped around it seemed to have lost its roots, shrinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the rooster and the puppet left, the lady finally arrived. However, after seeing that there was nothing below, she gasped and asked a question.

"What about people?!"

……

"Count them, are there three in total?!"

"White, green, and yellow, that's three!"

"Don't worry about it, just grab one. Hurry up, there's a secret passage ahead!"

A group of people were talking in low voices, almost leaving afterimages. Their voices were filled with undisguised excitement, and the source of all this was naturally the Heart of God in their arms.

With the cooperation of the Northern Continent Intelligence Network and Olympia and others, and with so many companions to attract attention, their team finally succeeded.

Now they just need to get into the tunnel and sneak into the extensive underground world under Winterfell, where even the Fatui won't be able to find them.

"Quick, everyone get in!"

An observer kicked the huge rock covering the secret passage and said hurriedly after placing a circle of explosives in the passage.

Time waits for no one, we must quickly leave the scene before the Fatui find us. As for this painstakingly constructed secret passage, today is the day it will be destroyed.

The observer looked down at the remaining time on the explosives while directing everyone to leave. He looked down and saw two minutes left; he looked down again and saw one minute and fifty-five seconds left; he looked down again and the time was gone.

"and many more……"

The observer rubbed his eyes and was surprised to find that the fuses of the explosives had been removed at some point. "It's useless. You have Piero's magic mark on your hands. He will find you no matter where you run to."

A large hand patted the observer's shoulder. He looked back in astonishment, only to see two more people behind him.

"who are you!"

The observer quickly stepped back, and the people behind him also looked alert.

The two people who appeared were both hidden in black robes, and looked very similar to the people who were about to launch the raid.

"At least we're not the Idiots."

The figure in the front smiled, but the one behind him was obviously not as calm as him.

The figure at the back stepped forward and whispered something to the person in front. The leader just waved his hand after hearing it.

"As the blood of Alberic, I can't be so panicked all the time."

"Don't worry, Piero is a man who is rational to the point of cruelty. He won't vent his anger because of the losses that have already occurred. Your brother will most likely be captured by him as a bargaining chip."

Amfortas comforted Kaia like this. As he spoke, he raised his head.

"coming."

"Bang bang bang!"

The portal opened from the air, and all the imprisoned people were thrown down. As the portal opened, the elemental power of this space seemed to be attracted by something and was all drawn out.

The elemental forces that were extracted gathered around the people below, and the same confinement method was used again.

"You've improved your tricks, Piero."

Anfortas hooked his finger, and the Heart of God held in the hands of several people flew into his hands like a horse that had broken free from its reins.

"Heart of God? This is the first time I've seen this thing." Anfortas said in amazement, turning over the chess-piece-like thing in his hand.

The clown who walked out of the portal heard someone calling his name, and saw the Heart of God being held in his hand. With a pinch of his five fingers, a larger range of elemental forces gathered and formed an elemental shield in front of Anfortas.

"..."

Amfortas looked up at the Harlequin, whose face was half covered, and saw that he had changed.

Where was the talkative court magician? How did he become like this?

Reaching out and pressing the elemental shield in front of him, Anfortas pushed forward. With a "click" sound, the entire elemental shield was shattered.

This is not the end. After Anfortas walked out, invisible pressure spread, followed by countless "cracking" sounds of breaking.

"Is your brother in there?"

Kaeya simply nodded and quickly ran over to Diluk's side.

"You are..."

Diluk looked up and saw the iconic eye mask under the black robe.

"Kaia?!"

"Go quickly!"

Under tremendous pressure from both sides, Kaia moved his lips and spoke in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Diluk looked at Kaeya, then looked at the leisurely Anfortas beside him, and finally suppressed the doubts in his heart temporarily.

"Everyone leave!"

Diluk waved his hand and shouted to the crowd. Upon hearing this, the crowd quickly dispersed without paying any attention to the clown above.

The Harlequin raised his hand, but as soon as he moved, he felt the gaze of Anfortas below him.

"who are you?"

"You don't even recognize me? Piero?"

Seeing that Kaia had finally left the scene, Anfortas stopped hiding and directly opened his robe.

"Marshal Anfortas, you are still alive?!" The clown's eyes widened with shock on his face.
