Chapter 716 - Entering Nemesis 3 (2/2)

Luke knew about the existence of these so-called catacombs during his time as Saymon.

High-ranking priests of the esteemed estates would escape through the catacombs, but even after men were sent to catch them, no one could actually find the persons who went in.

“The priest of the temple near the Nemesis guided us. And the Elder Knight uniforms were borrowed from a few believers.”

“Indeed… you came in without strain because you had help. Is there a catacomb to the basement of the city?”

“Huhu! Well, why would you want?”

At Gregory’s question, Luke glared at him.

“You are being too savage with me.”

He knew very well why the old man was known to be scary.

It was because this man had connections with people everywhere because of the denomination, and he had the profound knowledge he had accumulated all over the years, he wasn’t someone who could be ignored.

While he was trying to pull Luke’s leg, Luke asked seriously.

“When you use the catacombs to go out, is it fine if we accompany you?”

“It doesn’t matter, but I heard that Your Majesty is planning to destroy the ruins in the Imperial Palace? Is it so dangerous that you had to come over and destroy it?”

Gregory too heard that the Baroque Empire was trying to weaponize the Vers.

Marquis Reas explained what Vers was and how dangerous that plague could be, but Gregory didn’t understand Luke’s actions.

Luke seemed to be in a hurry to do something.

Moreover, Luke was over here, when he should have been trying to help in containing that zombie poison which was spreading over on the other side of Baroque.

“This is very dangerous. Incomparable to all the crises we have faced till now.”

“Uhm…”

Luke didn’t give out any specific information.

However, from his glances itself, Gregory knew that Luke wasn’t making things up.

“There must be a reason why the Princess had to react like that.”

Gregory didn’t know the details, but thought Karen must have heard something from Luke.

He thought that she must have run away from home for her father, so wanted to be forgiven for doing her filial duty.

However, since it was a betrayal to her mother, he decided to discipline the child.

“If the situation is that urgent and dangerous, we will help. But how are we going to enter the Imperial Palace? Even if we dress up as elite, there will be entry to only a few.”

Rudolf was currently concentrating on his remaining forces in Nemesis.

Not to mention the defense against the Imperial palace, as Luke too looked a while back, it seemed impossible to penetrate through the troops which were stationed outside the Palace.

Unless something very important came up to divert them, Luke wouldn’t be able to move in.

“Even though it was, we were trying to find ways to infiltrate from then, but I think that it will be easier to solve with Arch Duke Gregory’s help.”

“Easy you say?”

Arch Duke seemed puzzled, and Luke laughed out loud and slowly explained.

“Actually, I was about to use my hand to secure it as a retreat. You know, this path…”

Having decided that the catacombs would be used as a retreat, Luke decided to use the magic circles and the zen users in the groups to infiltrate the Imperial Palace.

The same method as before.

They were getting prepared to attract the attention of the enemy, so it didn’t matter where they used the trick.

“And we have our agents from the Imperial Intelligence Serve. If they can create a little mess, we can keep the baroque troops from paying attention to the Imperial Palace for a small while.”

“Indeed! If you do that, it won’t be that reckless.”

‘Hiig, I will have to help it too….’

Karen glanced at Luke with joy in her eyes as she heard Gregory’s question. Because she believed that her dad would save her.

For the first time, she regretted following her father.
