Vol 7 Chapter 12 (1/2)

Book 7, Heaven and Earth Turned Upside Down – Chapter 12, The Rescue

Travelling on this desolate road, Shaq, the Second Prince of Fenlai, was bitterly cursing at these ical beasts Off in the distance, Linley quietly reers and placed it within one of his pockets

“The royal clan of Fenlai divided into several squads when they left No doubt, they had ements for where they would meet up”

Linley orrying about where he would find Clayde, but now that heaven had delivered Shaq and his squad to him, how could Linley not be overjoyed? In addition, Linley could guess…that when he had tried to assassinate Clayde, then been captured by the Radiant Church, the Radiant Church had originally still planned to make use of him and thus had most likely had ordered Clayde to keep silent

“Perhaps this Shaq doesn’t yet know that the ‘demon’ who tried to kill his father was me”

As he was thinking these thoughts, Linley began to walk in Shaq’s direction

Linley had another thought as well “If Shaq knows that I tried to kill his father, then none of them will be spared!” Shaq’s ical beasts, but compared to these two freaks Linley and Bebe, they weren’t much at all

“Second Prince! Your Highness!”

Linley called out in a loud, friendly voice

Shaq, who had been eating roastedLinley’s shout He swiveled his head over to look at Linley As he did so, Linley and Bebe both watched hi attention to his every facial expression and to his gaze

“If anything seems off at all, first we capture, then we kill!” Linley carefully watched Shaq’s eyes and face

Upon seeing Linley, Shaq excitedly jued over, his burly body two meters tall, and i In an overjoyed voice, he said, “Lord Linley, you actually made it out safely! This is wonderful, wonderful!”

“I am very happy to be able to see you here as well, Second Prince!” Linley didn’t detect any falseness in Shaq’s eyes or expressions He nodded to himself

Linley’s guess was spot on Clayde had been instructed by the Radiant Church to remain silent, and that he could not, no matter what, reveal that the ‘demon’ who had atte Clayde was, he wouldn’t dare disobey the direct orders of the Radiant Church

“Lord Linley, have you eaten yet? Come, come eat with us” Shaq warmly said

Right now, Shaq had no idea that he alking on a fine line between life and death If just now, there had been anything wrong with his facial expressions, he would’ve died

“Lord Linley, please don’t bla you Those hordes of monsters came too quickly My royal father had no choice He didn’t even bring most of his royal consorts, only just the most important ones” Shaq explained on behalf of his father

“I can understand” Linley nodded while walking towards their camp

All of those elite knights reht back when he attacked Clayde at the royal palace The knights in front of hihts back then Aside frohtly older lady, and a little girl as only five or six years old

“My respects to you, Royal Consort My respects to you, Princess”

Linley immediately bowed towards those tomen

The very beautiful, refined-looking consort was over forty years old, but she looked as though she was barely thirty She was an alluring, attractive wohed “Linley, when his Majesty left, he was in a terrible rush He didn’t bring a single us with him And, he felt confident that the Radiant Church would rescue you, thus…”

Both Shaq and the consort immediately made explanations for Clayde

Both Shaq and the consort felt that it was very iood relations with Linley They didn’t know the real relationshi+p between Linley and Clayde

“I understand” But in his heart, Linley was laughing coldly Earlier, when he was battling with Clayde’s uards consisted solely of knights, and that no i present here in Shaq’s squad either

Clearly, when fleeing, Clayde hadn’t had tii at all

Althoughbattle, this tiical beasts Bringing a us travel as quickly as a powerful warrior? Some of the more powerful warriors could run like the wind even if they had no horse But i?

On this desolate road, Shaq and his squad continued to hurry forward nonstop Soes on the way had already been reduced to ash, and rotting corpses were strewn everywhere In this wasteland, ly or in pairs

Those lucky hue to escape the first massacre would eventually all be chased down and eaten by these roaical beasts

“Our Kingdom of Fenlai is finished”

Shaq, riding side by side with Linley on their horses, said with a sigh as he looked off into the distance Occasionally, a ainst thehts would easily dispose of them Shaq and Linley’s conversations weren’t disrupted at all

“Most likely nine out of ten citizens of the Kingdom of Fenlai are dead now” Linley’s face was full of sorrow and despair as well

Shaq nodded slightly

In his heart, Shaq was also in doer a royal clan When there was no kingdom, how could there be a royal clan?

“Fortunately…” Shaq’s thoughts turned to the five icrystal cards, even though the royal clan of Fenlai no longer had a kingdom, it wouldn’t be too hard for theain, thanks to their thousands of years of accumulated wealth Linley suddenly said, “Second Prince, where e bewith his Majesty?”

The purpose of Linley travelling with Shaq was to learn of Clayde’s whereabouts

Shaq said with resignation, “Lord Linley, inally didn’t expect the scope of this disaster to be so wide Thus, the two nated ithin the Kingdoht now, the only thing I can do is follow our original plan and keep heading north When we reach one of the cities that was designated by me and my royal father, ill stop, if the city is safe”

Linley instantly understood

Clayde and Shaq had designated more than one city as possible rendezvous points Theynorth of the city of Fenlai Whichever city was safe would be the city they would stop at

“Which cities did you and his Majesty designate as h

Shaq wasn’t suspicious at all He immediately said, “There were quite a few cities Sododonated a city within the O’Brien Empire”

“The O’Brien Eh
