Chapter 12 of Volume 7: Rescue

  On this desolate road, the second prince of the Finlay royal family, 'Shak', was cursing the demon beast, while Lin Lei quietly removed the 'space ring' from his finger and put it into the inner pocket of his coat.

  "The Finlay royal family left in batches, and they must have agreed on a final meeting place among themselves."

  Lin Lei was worried about how to find Clyde, and now heaven had brought Shak and his group right in front of him. How could Lin Lei not be surprised? Moreover, Lin Lei also had a guess - when he wanted to kill Clyde before, he was caught by the Temple of Light. At first, the Temple of Light wanted to use him for their own purposes, so they must have given a gag order regarding Clyde.

  "This Shaku, perhaps doesn't even know that the devil who was going to kill his father that day is me."

  Lin Lei thought so in her heart, and at the same time walked towards Sha Ke.

  Lin Lei had also made up his mind: "If Shak knows I'm going to kill his father, then none of these people can be left!" This group of people, for ordinary demons, might be considered fierce. But for Lin Lei and Beibei, this man and beast duo of freaks, they didn't count as much.

  "Your Highness, the Second Prince!"

  Lin Lei shouted passionately in a loud voice.

  Originally eating barbecue, Shak, who was dissatisfied with the Warcraft, heard Lin Lei's voice and couldn't help but pause, turning his head to look in the direction of the sound. When he looked at Lin Lei, Lin Lei and Beibei were also staring at Shak, paying attention to Shak's eyes and facial expressions.

  "If there's anything wrong, catch first and kill later!" Lin Lei carefully observed the other party's eyes and facial expression.

  Shaq saw Lin Lei, excitedly suddenly stood up, his big head of nearly two meters just jumped off the ground and ran towards Lin Lei, delightedly saying: "Lin Lei, you're actually okay, it's really great, really great."

  "I see the Second Prince here too, and I'm delighted." Lin Lei saw that Sha Ke's eyes and expression didn't reveal any flaws, and he nodded to himself in secret.

  Lin Lei's guess was not wrong at all, and Clyde was indeed instructed by the Holy See of Light. No matter what, he couldn't reveal that the "devil" who assassinated him that day was Lin Lei. And no matter how bold Clyde was, he didn't dare to disobey the order of the Holy See of Light.

  "Lord Lin Lei, have you eaten? Come, eat with us." Shak said enthusiastically.

  At this time, Shaq had no idea that he himself had already walked a narrow line between life and death. If his expression had been problematic earlier, he would have been a dead man by now.

  "Lord Lin Lei, you can't blame the king for not saving you. The truth is that the demonic beasts arrived too quickly, and the king was also helpless. He didn't even bring many of the queen consorts, only bringing a few of the most favored ones." Shak explained in defense of his father.

  "I can understand." Lin Lei nodded and looked aside.

  Those elite knights reminded Lin Lei of the "Thunderbolt Squad" he encountered when attacking Clyde in the palace. The knight squad in front of him was very similar to that one in terms of momentum. In addition to nearly thirty knights, there was also an older woman and a little girl who was only five or six years old.

  "Greetings to Her Royal Highness, Princess."

  Lin Lei immediately bowed to the two women.

  The queen, who looked very beautiful and youthful despite being over 40, appeared to be in her early thirties. She was sexy and charming. The queen smiled and said: "Lin Lei, this time the emperor has gone too far, not even bringing a magician with him. And he also thought that the people of the Church of Light would save you, so..."

  Whether it was Shak or the princess, they were both making excuses for Clyde.

  In Shaku and Wang Fei's hearts, they still need to improve their relationship with Lin Lei. They do not know the true relationship between Lin Lei and Clyde.

  "I understand." Lin Lei sneered in his heart, not long ago when he was about to kill Clyde at the palace, Lin Lei had discovered that there were no mages among Clyde's troops, only warriors. This time, Shak's team also didn't have any mages.

  It's clear that Clyde didn't care about the magician this time he ran away.

  When fighting, the role of a magician is not small, but this time it's about escaping with their lives, not battling monsters. Bringing a magician on the road is actually a bit of a hindrance. How can they keep up with some powerful warriors who can rush ahead quickly? Some powerful warriors can even run swiftly on foot without relying on horses, can magicians do that?

  On the desolate road, Shak's cavalry unit continued to advance. Some villages along the originally bustling roads had become ruins, and rotting corpses could often be seen. In these desolate places, one or two demonic beasts could often be seen roaming around.

  Occasionally, one or two humans would narrowly escape the first wave of slaughter, only to be killed and eaten by these roaming demons.

  "Our kingdom of Finlay is finished."

  Shaq and Lin Lei rode side by side, gazing out at the desolate landscape ahead. "It's really barren here," Shaq said with a sigh. Occasionally, one or two demonic beasts would appear in the distance, but they were easily killed by the members of the Fierce Thunder Squad. The conversation between Shaq and Lin Lei was not affected in the slightest.

  "The residents of Finlay Kingdom, at least nine out of ten were killed." Lin Lei's face was also filled with helplessness and sadness.

  Shake nodded slightly.

  Shak is still heartbroken because the downfall of the Finlay Kingdom also means they are no longer royalty. Without a kingdom, what's the point of being royalty?

  "Fortunately..." Shak recalled the five magic crystal cards in his package. With these five magic crystal cards, even if the Fenlay royal family no longer had a kingdom, it wouldn't be difficult for them to become a powerful family relying on their accumulated wealth of thousands of years.

  Lin Lei suddenly said: "Second prince, where are we meeting with Your Majesty this time?"

  Ling Lei mixed with Sha Ke, for Clyde's whereabouts.

  Shak said helplessly, "Lord Lin Lei, my father and I didn't expect the disaster to be so extensive at first, so the two locations set within the borders of Fenlai Kingdom are useless. Now I can only follow the original plan and continue northward. When we arrive at a safe city, which is also one of the cities set by my father and me, we will stop and rest again."

  Lin Lei understood as soon as he heard it.

  Shak and Klayde, et al., decided that the gathering city shouldn't be just one place, but rather a series of cities from Finlay City northward. Whichever city was safest, they would probably stop at that city.

  "What cities have you promised His Majesty?" Lin Lei asked with a smile.

  Shaq didn't suspect anything and said directly, "There are many cities, including those within the borders of Fenley Kingdom, some to the north in various kingdoms and principalities, and even one that has been established in the Aubrey Empire."

  "O'Brien Empire?" Lin Lei burst out laughing.

  Shak said apologetically, "The king is worried that these demons will occupy the entire Holy Alliance region, and we'll be forced to flee to the Aubrey Empire. The Aubrey Empire is the continent's number one military power, so it's certain they can stop those demons."

  Lin Lei knows more than Shakya.

  The Aubrey Empire was not only strong in military power on the surface, but also had the 'God of War' Aubrey.

  As long as the God of War is present, whether to attack the Aubrey Empire or not, the "King" of the Magic Beast Mountains will also have to weigh it carefully.

  "No need to think too much, let's just move forward and rest when we reach a safe place, find the nearest city established by Father King. Lord Lin Lei, let's hurry up, giddy up." As he spoke, Sha Ke also accelerated, his horse hooves flying as this cavalry unit quickly traversed through the desolate area.

  Lin Lei and Sha Ke's team were together, on the road even if they encountered some magical beasts, Lin Lei didn't need to take action, those Crazy Thunder Team warriors had already solved it.

  Three days later.

  "The territories of two great kingdoms and three principalities have all fallen."

  Shaq, Lin Lei and others crossed the territory of two major kingdoms, Fenlai Kingdom and Hanmu Kingdom, as well as two principalities, and entered the area of 'Ligao Principality', but Ligao Principality was also devoid of any human figure.

  The extent of the fall is indeed astonishing.

  After all, the Sacred Alliance has only six major kingdoms and fifteen principalities.

  "Roar!!"

  "Roar!!"

  Wave after wave of roars from the demonic beasts kept coming from ahead, accompanied by human shouts. The chaotic sounds also made Shak, Lin Lei and others understand.

  "A fierce battle between humans and magical beasts is unfolding ahead." Shak furrowed his brow, stroking his chin, "Let's be careful, we'll go around from the side."

  "Yes." The members of the Thunderbolt Squad all responded in unison.

  Shack led a group of people, carefully making their way around the corner from the side. But when Shack and his group reached the closest position to the battlefield, Shack, who had glanced at the battlefield for a few moments, suddenly widened his eyes: "Prince Loy?"

  Lin Lei also noticed the scene in the distance, which was also a team of elite knights, but this team of knights had very bad luck, they encountered a group of fire lions.

  Fire Lion, a 7th-level fire-type magical beast that can easily spit out 'Inferno Fireballs', its entire body is also burning with flames.

  Although it is said to be a seventh-level fire-type demon, the demon has an innate advantage over humans. Even if it's a seventh-level fire-type demon, ordinary eighth-level warriors would have to expend a lot of effort to kill it. In that elite knight team, the number of eighth-level masters was clearly very rare, and most were seventh-level warriors.

  After nearly twenty Fire Lions were killed, this Knight Corps had already lost half of its men. The Fire Lions had only lost about a third of their numbers.

  However, although half of the knights were killed or wounded, none of the eighth-level warriors died. In fact, the combat effectiveness of this knight team was reduced by at most one-third.

  "Halt." Shak ordered.

  The surrounding knights were stunned, but they nodded. With the strength of the Crazy Thunder Squad and Prince Luo's men, it was not difficult to kill the Fire Lion Group. However, what was unexpected was that Shak had never let them make a move.

  When Prince DeRoy's men and horses were killed or injured, two of the eight-level warriors died, and more than half of the Fire Lion Group was killed or injured. At this time, Shak finally gave the order.

  "Depart, rescue Prince Luo Yi." Shak suddenly said to his subordinates.

  "Yes."

  Suddenly, the Thunderbolt Squad set off. With nearly thirty fresh troops joining in, especially with the appearance of nearly ten level-eight warriors, they instantly killed five or six Fire Lions that had been wounded to death. The remaining few Fire Lions saw that the situation was not good and immediately fled away.

  "Shake Prince, thank you, thank you."

  Prince Luo is a very handsome young man, but at this moment he is very embarrassed. Seeing Shaq, Prince Luo gratefully gave him a hug.

  "Prince Luo, ah, I saw from afar that a group of knights was being besieged and hesitated for a moment out of consideration for myself. Then I saw you, which is why I came to kill. Hopefully, it's not too strange." Shak had an honest look on his face as he regretfully said, "If I had come earlier, there would be fewer deaths among you."

  Just now, Shak and his group stayed in the distance for a while, how could Roy's group of experts not discover one?

  Luo Yi and others had already had some misunderstandings, but after Sha Ke said that, Luo Yi also believed it a bit.

  Me too.

  In this disaster, who would still go to save people with whom they have no connection?

  "Prince Shak, no need to say that, I'm already grateful to you, otherwise now my people would have been reduced to just two or three. Ah, never mind, we'll take care of our own dead bodies." Prince Roy was shocked to see Shak's men untying the bundles of corpses under his command and couldn't help but shout out loud.

  The Fire Lion escaped, and Prince Lothar's surviving men immediately began to remove the dead men's packs from their backs onto their own.

  This scene naturally made Shak's subordinates suspicious.

  Is it worth taking away a dead man's package? So the subordinate took the initiative to help remove the package, and indeed triggered the other party's vigilance.

  "Alright, here it is." The knight under Shak's command immediately handed over the package in his hand to the other party. The knight under Prince Roy's command directly took over the package and glared fiercely at the knight under Shak's command.

  Shaq saw this scene and sneered in his heart.

  This is too easy to guess.

  Generally, royal families do not have space rings. The Finley royal family was also lucky to obtain a space ring by chance at the beginning. Now that disaster has struck, it is natural to take away the treasures of the royal family's treasury. Without a space ring, they can only be taken away in bundles. This Prince Luo Yi is so nervous about those bundles, I estimate that each bundle under his hand contains the heavy treasure of the Hanmu Kingdom royal family.

  "Not many people, I have a 100% guarantee." Shak looked at Prince Loy's men and horses, and had already made up his mind.
