Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

"Sir, I have leaked Cripps's information to him in a way that he will not suspect. He should now have no doubt about the information he has obtained."

The officer nodded in satisfaction after hearing the sergeant's answer.

“You did a great job. Everything is just as Lord Pantalone predicted, and you have everything under control.”

P.S.: I'm planning to speed things up now. I originally wanted to write slowly, but I'm no longer in the mood. All I can say is that those who know, know. I have nothing to say about Hedgehog Cat's actions.

Chapter 130 The Golden Eyes in the Rainy Night on the Bridge

In the darkness of night, a figure as fiery as flames pierced the dark sky.

A chase was taking place in the dark, moonless night. In the quiet darkness, dark clouds obscured the moonlight, making the earth appear as if it were a scene of complete darkness.

The figure rushing through the darkness like a fugitive was Diluc, who had escaped from the Fatui's research facility after obtaining the information he needed.

While being chased by the Fatui, Diluc successfully relied on his own strength.

They broke through the encirclement with unstoppable momentum, despite being pursued by the elite troops of the Fools.

Facing Diluc, the youngest cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius, who bore the name of Dawn, even the most elite soldiers in the Fools' Legion of Winterfell paled in comparison to his strength.

The blazing fire of dawn tore through the layers of solid ice, and the intense heat and powerful elemental energy transformed into flames that broke through everything, no matter how strong he was.

Ultimately, human capabilities are finite and beyond our reach.

Even though he was the youngest Knight of Favonius and possessed the powerful strength granted by the Eye of God, he was still no match for the endless elite fighting force of the Fools.

He gradually felt his stamina waning. If this cat-and-mouse chase continued for too long, he would inevitably be exhausted before successfully escaping the pursuit of the Fools' elite troops.

Even if he was stronger than the elite troops of the Fatui, he was still quite inexperienced and young, so compared to the elite troops of the Fatui, he could only be described as being only slightly stronger.

He is far from possessing overwhelming strength, which makes him very vulnerable to being bogged down and eventually unable to escape when faced with overwhelming numbers.

Faced with the current situation, Diluc understood even more clearly why Grand Master Falgar had so solemnly told him, when entrusting him with this task, to do so once the situation was discovered.

He was told not to act rashly, but to return to the Knights and report to their superiors before letting the Knights handle the matter. However, he was simply too worried about his father's safety at the moment.

Driven by an urgent desire to know his father's whereabouts, he was momentarily blinded by reason and chose the most unwise course of action.

He needs to be held accountable for his reckless actions.

No matter what else you say, the die is cast.

He couldn't expect to start over. All he could do now was try his best to escape the pursuit of the Fools' army.

However, the facts undoubtedly told him that his idea was not so simple or easy.

The Fools' army that was relentlessly pursuing him were also directing other Fools' soldiers to surround and blockade him.

The enemy was no incompetent fool, but an elite soldier no less capable than the Knights of Favonius.

Just as Diluc was desperately trying to escape, the officer in charge of chasing and commanding the Fatui soldiers behind him stared intently at his fleeing figure with icy eyes and gave the order in a chilling voice.

"The fourth advance team is responsible for blocking the route to prevent the intruders from escaping from other directions. Special weapons are permitted to be used!"

"The 7th Elite Squad is responsible for suppressing fire and doing everything possible to prevent the intruders from retaliating. We will use firepower to intercept them!"

"The eighth and ninth squads should try to distract the intruder, keep him here as long as possible, and find ways to wear him down and disrupt his rhythm!"

"Capture the intruders at all costs!"

That cold voice revealed a chilling killing intent; it was by no means a feigned desire to kill.

Even at this point, the other party was not blinded by anger. His voice and commands were orderly and clear, without any ambiguity. Even Diluc had to admit that he had such high military skills.

Even though the other party was a pursuer who intended to take his life, the ability to remain rational at all times was something he needed to learn.

With the order from the Fools' military commander behind him, countless Fools' vanguard soldiers picked up muskets or heavy cannons and attacked him.

"Catch the intruder!"

"Whether they live or die!"

Seeing the sniper fire from that group of Fools' advance troops made Diluc grit his teeth.

Forced to free his hand, he once again wielded his greatsword, and with a burst of blazing flames erupting from his body, he repelled the attacks from the advance troops.

After another elemental burst tore through one of the Fatui forces' defenses, Diluc felt his stamina was slightly depleted due to the long chase and tug-of-war.

With the interference and firepower from other Fools' soldiers, his rhythm was slightly disrupted.

This made his breathing become uneven, and his rapid breathing disrupted his rhythm, causing him to become increasingly irritable due to the constant disturbance.

Even though he knew that the other party was just deliberately using this method to exhaust his strength, he still felt a sense of fatigue.

Distracted, Diluc glanced at the soldiers of the Fools' advance force who were relentlessly pursuing him, which made him somewhat irritated.

"What a troublesome guy! This is never going to end!"

No matter how agitated he was, it couldn't change the current situation he was facing.

He knew that if things continued like this, he would soon be completely exhausted and captured by the elite soldiers of the Fools' vanguard.

This meant that during his escape, he was constantly calculating how far he was from Mondstadt.
