After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

In the end, only one person was arrested.

This leaves enough space inside the cage for the opponent to move around. If the wall is lowered at will, it may give the opponent a chance to escape.

Be prepared for this in advance.

Soon, the knights surrounded them from all directions.

Next, with just one order...

"GAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Suddenly, terrifying roars that could freeze one's blood rang out almost simultaneously from buildings on all sides, layer upon layer, deafening.

The next second, the ground began to shake, and in the surrounding buildings, countless figures were in commotion and even rioting.

The blood slaves who had stopped moving began to move again.

"Tsk—at a time like this..."

Aize complained unhappily.

The blood slaves' resumption of action was expected, and Aize had made special preparations for this.

It is strictly forbidden for anyone to enter the building without permission, and they must always maintain a queue when marching on the street. Even the retreat route is planned, etc.

So it’s not really a problem, but it’s a bit annoying to have someone get in the way during the arrest process.

"Everyone, line up and prepare to attack!"

No matter how annoying it is, there is no point in complaining.

Under Aize's command, the knights quickly raised their weapons.

At this moment, a blood slave rushed out from the dark building.

Then came the second one, the third one... In almost an instant, there were dozens or even hundreds of them.

Remember, it's still daytime.

The eternal night weakened the sunlight, but it was still extremely lethal. The moment the blood slaves' bodies were exposed to the sunlight, they began to sizzle and then caught fire.

But even though they turned into fireballs and pieces of charcoal at a speed visible to the naked eye, they did not stop their movements and continued to rush towards Aize and others regardless of anything.

Such a scene is extremely horrifying.

Some knights who had little combat experience were even frightened to the point of trembling all over.

"Prepare to meet the enemy! Forward... eh?"

Just as Aize was about to give an order, the abnormal situation occurred again.

The blood slaves rushed to Aize and others in the sunlight, but did not attack them. Instead, they suddenly changed direction and crashed into the barrier of the cage technique.

A large group of twisted, charred, and flaming monsters rushed forward one after another, gnawing and biting the barrier, and gradually turned into ashes under the sun.

It was like some kind of alternative moth flying into a flame, indescribably weird.

Inside the barrier, there are also several buildings, where blood slaves are naturally hiding.

Moreover, the barrier is actually one-way transparent, so you can't see outside from the inside, and there is no direct sunlight.

The blood slaves inside were able to completely ignore the influence of the sun and move more freely.

Then he launched a crazy attack on the assassin trapped inside.

The assassin was bewildered.

The one-way transparent shield made him completely unaware of what was happening outside, and he was unable to withstand the fierce attack of more than ten blood slaves.

Helpless, he could only use the stealth technique again, turning himself into a shadow and sneaking into the building.

This worked well before, as the blood slaves couldn't track humans who had transformed into shadows.

But now, things have changed.

No matter where the shadow he transformed into escaped to, the blood slaves would chase him down with extreme persistence.

Finally, at the moment when the stealth technique reached its limit, the assassin was surrounded by more than ten blood slaves, and then there was a horrific feast and blood splattered everywhere.

By the time Aize and the others arrived after using the shield, all that was left inside the building where the assassin was hiding was a large pool of blood and horrifically chopped flesh all over the ground.

However, the blood slaves who had done all this fell into the same stagnant state as before.

They huddled together in the corner, and didn't react at all even when Aize and others were walking in front of them.

This shows that the so-called stopping and attacking by the blood slaves are subject to certain conditions.

But what on earth is going on?

Looking at the tragic scene in front of him and the flying ashes on the streets outside, Aize fell into deep doubt.

Chapter 108 Memory Restoration

After saving her life from the assassination thanks to Aize's arrangement, Heidi didn't dare to wander around outside anymore. After a brief conversation, she immediately returned to the palace.

Alicia also followed the order and, along with the reinforcements Elena had called, stood guard beside the princess.

Fortunately, the assassins did not take any further action.

More than an hour passed like this, and Aize, looking unhappy, finally pushed the door open and walked in.

Heidi, who had been waiting anxiously, stood up and greeted him almost subconsciously.

"Aize! You're finally back. Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Heidi and Elena didn't know the details of Aize's plan.

I just heard that when he was on a mission outside, the blood slaves suddenly started to move again.

The situation was so intense that the guards and civilians who stayed in the safe zone could clearly hear the terrifying and violent roar outside the wall.

Therefore, in the past period of time, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been very uneasy because she is worried about Aize's personal safety.

Only when he saw Aize come back safely did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine. Those blood slaves weren't coming for us. They just killed all the prisoners they captured."

Aize was helpless about this.

In preparation for this fishing trip, he and his colleagues set up traps of various types at more than ten key nodes leading from the safe zone to the outside of the city.

In addition to the one that Aize witnessed with his own eyes, according to the report, there were four other locations where spies who, in addition to the two assassins, had exposed their identities and tried to escape were captured.

As a result, all of these captives, without exception, were torn and bitten in the frenzied attacks of the blood slaves until not even slightly larger pieces were left.

Heidi was very disappointed:

"In that case, you've been working in vain, haven't you?"

"No, we've uncovered a large number of undercover agents in the safe zone. Just achieving this goal alone doesn't mean our efforts were in vain. As for the prisoner... isn't there still one?"

All the spies who escaped from the safe zone were killed by the sharp claws and fangs of the blood slaves.

But the one who directly assassinated Heidi, although his arm was broken by Alicia, at least he saved his life.

If we can get enough information out of him, the deaths won't matter.

"Is that guy still alive? If possible, I'd like to interrogate him right now. Is that okay?"

"Of course! I have him well looked after."

Having finally done something serious, Heidi's mood lifted a little. She even puffed out her chest with a hint of pride and asked:

"Shall I have him brought here?"

"No, I'd better go there by myself. There are too many people in the palace right now. If I move around all the time and get silenced again, it won't be good."

"No problem, I'll lead the way!"

So, under Heidi's personal guidance, the group came to the dungeon of the palace.

Before the outbreak of the blood plague, hundreds of prisoners of all sizes and severity were held here.

Later, in order to fight against the blood slaves, almost all of these people were incorporated into the guard team and used as a unit similar to a disciplinary battalion, resulting in heavy casualties.

So, the dungeon is now empty, with only the assassin imprisoned here.

The royal knights formed a human wall around his cage to ensure that he would not be silenced.

As for him, the severe pain of having his arm roughly twisted by Alicia, and the subsequent excessive blood loss, made him extremely weak at the moment.

He collapsed on the haystack, dying like a dying animal.

Seeing Aize and the others approaching, he almost immediately turned over and knelt on the ground:

"Please, gentlemen, spare my life. I was ordered to do this and had no choice!"

He begged for mercy, kowtowed, and cried, which was very annoying. Elena and the royal knights showed their contempt without any concealment.

Aize ordered the knight to open the cage, walked in, squatted in front of him, and asked:

"You said you were instructed by someone. Who was it?"

The assassin raised his head slightly and glanced at Heidi furtively, his eyes rolling as if he was thinking about something.

Then he replied with tears and snot:

"It was...it was Lord Regent Arthur. He...he ordered us to do this! It was him, he was the one who ordered us to kill Her Royal Highness!"

The knights all had an expression of "as expected".

Heidi's mood, which had finally recovered a little, fell again after hearing these words.

The uncle whom he regarded as his adoptive father not only fabricated the tragedy in the royal capital, but even wanted to kill him out of desperation. This kind of thing is not easy for anyone to accept.

Aize turned his head to look at Heidi, then turned back to look at the assassin expressionlessly and continued to ask:

"You said it was Arthur who ordered it, so where is he now?"

"I...I don't know..."

"Um!!!?"

Aize's voice instantly rose several degrees, and his eyes suddenly became cold.

The assassin was instantly frightened and lost his mind. He quickly replied:

"I really don't know! He...we haven't seen him since he disappeared that night!"

"I haven't seen him for a few days. What orders did he give you?!"

"He...he said before this happened that if his identity was exposed, he wanted us to wait for an opportunity to kill the princess...We are just mercenaries. If he doesn't show up, we won't get paid. We can only take advantage of today's opportunity to give it a try, that's why..."

As he spoke, the assassin covered his broken arm and slowly curled up on the ground, shaking and sobbing. It looked like it really happened.

However, Aize just snorted twice:

"lie."

"I...I'm not lying! I really haven't seen Lord Arthur for several days! I don't even know where he is..."

The assassin became more and more panicked as he spoke, with cold sweat streaming down his cheeks.

"Lord Aize, this guy is dishonest. Hand him over to us and we will definitely pry his mouth open!"

Elena, who was standing by, was already rubbing her hands in anticipation and could hardly contain herself.

These days, in order to capture Regent Arthur and avenge Heidi, she was so anxious that her eyes were almost bloodshot and she turned the entire safe zone upside down.

But still no harvest.

Now that we finally have a clue, how can we tolerate this guy saying "I don't know"?

Even if you don’t know, you have to know!

The Knight Commander has already called his subordinates and brought whips, braziers, pepper spray and other interesting sex toys, preparing to perform a great memory recovery operation to help this friend refresh his mind.

Aize just shook his head at this request.

Then he continued to say to the assassin:

"You lied not about whether you had seen Arthur recently."

"Then I..."
