Chapter 262: Side Story 8

“I think we lost them”

“Yeah, I can’t sense theed froged forests and mountains to erase their tracks and lose their pursuers, they had still used the river to , there was no way they’d be able to track soh the water

“Let’s hurry It’s later than I thought”

“But we’ll still be able to get to the rendezvous point within the agreed-upon date”

The two of theently

Now all they had to do was join their coreed-upon location

The place they were heading to wasn’t a place without any people, instead, it was in thein itSince it was always darkest under the candlestick, it was better for the Not to mention, it was easier for them to obtain information

The two of them headed towards a hidden bar in the back alley and knocked at the back door of the bar that hadn’t even opened yet

Knock~ knockknock~ knock~

When they knocked a unique rhythm, the door opened silently

At that moment…

“damn!”

“Run!”

The two Ghosts turned around and tried to run away However, ar out from all directions at the same time they moved

“Don’t let them escape”

“We hts had been secretly waiting for thean fighting in order to escape

‘damn it… How did this happen?’

‘Our coe then?’

They realized that things had gone drastically wrong Originally, when they knocked, the people inside should have asked for a password

They had worked hard all week to get rid of their pursuers and even at the last moment, they had tried to be safe It seeh this, they had been able to survive even after being soundly defeated during the war

But for the door to have opened without asking for the passwordThey didn’t know the reason, but now that things had gone wrong, the i was for them to survive

They’d only be able to look for another opportunity if they were alive

“Keugh!”

“Ack!”

Screa out as blood sprayed out on the floor

There were only two opponents, but the tere surviving est elite soldiers of the Republic in the last war Although they had aged a bit, their skills weren’t rusty Even though the elixir wasn’t available any longer, their natural ability was too hts to handle

“Don’t let them escape!”

“There are only two eneht the Ghosts as they encircled theet any better As the Ghosts took advantage of the narrow alley and fought steadily against thean to decrease

And finally…

Sh!”

One of the Ghosts kicked the chest of the knight as blocking the street At the sahts’ line beca their short-swords

“Ack!”

“Keu…”

“Gu… guhh…”

One had his eye slashed, and another was stabbed in his abdo blood Three elite knights died in an instant

“Now’s our chance!”

“Good!”

The h the encirclement

“No!”

“Stop them! No matter what it takes, we have to capture thehts shouted out in panic, but it was too late, the two Ghosts were halfway out of the encirclement

But at that moment…

“Oof!”

“Guh”

The Ghosts ere running out of the encircle thenificant soldiers, it was empty in front of the them - you can’t continue forward like this

It was telling them that if they continued, they would die Maybe this ability to sense savageness was trained into the themselves to continue forward

And then

“You have good instincts”

Speaking quietly, someone appeared in front of them

That person appeared from around the corner of the alleyway that the Ghosts were heading towards after escaping the encircleentle armor or a hel sword at his waist

But the rowing da in front of them was How could they not know?

“Jeroend of the Lester Eht-hand man of the Grand Duke Milton Forrest

Jerome Taker had appeared

Jerome slowly strolled forward as he spoke to the how you know my face, there’s no doubt about it You really are Ghosts”

“”

“”

The two didn’t respond Instead, they looked at each other and tried to signal with their eyes

Their opponent was Jerome TakerCould they escape? If they couldn’t, then could one person at least buy some time as the other escaped?

As they quickly calculated possibilities and signalled each other, Jerome spoke

“Give it up”

Just that one sentence

When Jero disobedient students, the Ghosts realized so

‘It’ll be too difficult’

‘So this is the end’

If one wanted to be a bait and buy so, then the difference in ability h the two of theest within the Ghosts, and they had fought fiercely and hadn’t let their skills dull, the power gap between the

No matter what they did, no matter what tricks they tried, it wouldn’t have worked

‘That er than before At this rate… Ah!’

Although it was difficult, there was still soan talking to Jerome

“The Imperial Princess Elizabeth is in our hands…”

“I’ht here”

Elizabeth appeared fro

Toilantly by her side
