Chapter 651: Sudden Appearance (2/2)

In the last dozens of days, various forces had sent their masters into the back mountains to investigate while ignoring Chambord’s warning, and there were Moon-Class Elites among them.

However, the people who walk into the back mountains never came back out. After having several Moon-Class Elites disappearing in that area, no forces wanted to take the risk to see what was really behind Chambord anymore.

Even though people believed that it was the King of Chambord who killed those Moon-Class Elites, they couldn’t do much. After all, they were in Chambord’s territory, and the back mountains were the restricted area. It was them who broke the rules, so they couldn’t bring this matter up to the king.

Therefore, the mountains at the back of Chambord City became a dangerous place that could change people’s expressions when it was brought up in conversations.

What happened today instantly made all the forces to use their intelligence networks to get information about the phenomenon.

This sudden change made the people who were making plans in secret have an ominous feeling. Therefore, they wanted to get to the bottom of things.

Even though Chambord City seemed upbeat and celebratory at the moment, there was a huge storm brewing in the darkness.

……

-Inside a quiet courtyard at Chambord City-

There were four mercenaries of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] standing each side of the gate, and they looked quite vicious. It was clear that they were on their guards.

Many people were in the courtyard.

The man with the cross scar on his cheek and the red bandana on his forehead was sitting in the middle of a big stone desk, and he was talking to the people around him.

Since they were mercenaries who traveled around and took jobs in wars between empires, they were filled with murderous spirit and viciousness.

Some of them had swell marks on their cheeks, and they were the people who were threatened by Owen this morning in the restaurant.

“What is that chick from the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] thinking? Why does she want to go to that place to meet? Otherwise, we wouldn’t have caught the attention of the people from Chambord City!” A mercenary growled, “However, that mage chick is hot! Her figure is perfect, and her skin is so smooth. Damn! If I can ride her once, I’m willing to die afterward!”

The other mercenaries all laughed recklessly after hearing that, and only that man with the cross scar on his face looked worried as he frowned.

This man’s eyes shone as he looked at four wooden beams that were glaring a little in the yard; he didn’t participate in the spicy and lewd discussion with other mercenaries. Ever since the meeting in the restaurant this morning, they listened to the command of their superiors, and they had been staying at this courtyard and didn’t leave.

However, for some reason, he still felt like people were monitoring them.

“We shouldn’t stay here anymore! I have an ominous feeling, and we must leave! Tell the brothers to hide and go into stealth the old way, and let’s make our move when the [Dragon Hunt Operation] initiates tomorrow……” the man with the cross scar on his face said nervously as he suddenly stood up and slapped the stone table.

The mercenaries who were engaged in the spicy topic were surprised, and someone asked, “Captain, everything seems normal up to this point. I think you are a bit too sensitive……”

“I hope it is just me being too sensitive,” the man with the cross scar frowned and said, “But……”

At this moment, he suddenly shut his mouth, and his pupil instantly contracted. As his expression changed, he grabbed onto his weapon and looked in the direction of the gate.

The other mercenaries who were sitting by the table were confused, and they looked in the direction of the gate as well.

Then, they were all shocked, and they jumped up and grabbed their weapons with hostility on their faces.

They weren’t sure when he had arrived, but a man was standing by the gate of the courtyard in silence.
