Chapter 43 (2/2)
…
Sitting silently on his throne of bones, Negary reached his hand out. At this very moment, since some unknown point in time, a thick blanket of fog had gathered around him. The fog didn’t seem to be causing any breathing problems, although the smell was a bit strange. However, from the panicked reactions of the crows behind him, it was easy to tell who caused this fog.
〖 Seems like I don’t even have to hold back 〗Negary smirked and raised his hand upwards, like a jet black cloud of feathers, his crows took flight high into the sky.
On a high location away from the forbidden zone, a place that was set up specifically to gather information. As they heard the crows’ cawing, they understood that the crows had left the forbidden zone and quickly sent someone to inform Grosk.
“Gentlemen, the crows have left the forbidden zone. We have bought up all the Smoker Grass around this area, they should be enough to last for 3 hours, combined with how long the smoke lingers, you should have at least six hours to act, which is until dawn”
“I will bring Isabella and Nala to a safe location to hide” Grosk told them: “May the Lord’s grace shine upon you all”
The group exchanged glances and walked out to the front yard. As soon as the enforcers stationed outside the house noticed the commotion, they hurriedly gathered with sharp spears in their hands: “Chris Modo, you are violating the prohibition. Are you admitting to your crime of murdering Lord Comoros?”
“Sorry, but we don’t have time to waste here with the bunch of you” Chris sighed and immediately began to harmonize with the environment. His Rhythm Punch that came at them with indescribably strange angles made it so that none of them could react in time or block properly no matter how much they tried.
He easily knocked all of the enforcers out with a few punches. Although these enforcers were Negary’s subordinates, they hadn’t actually committed any heinous crimes that deserved death, there was no need to kill them.
“Let’s go” the group scattered into smaller teams and separated, each making their way towards the South of the forbidden zone.
The night sky was already cloudy, but now that there was even smoke in the air, visibility became incredibly low. They simply had no choice but to act at midnight like this because they didn’t have righteousness on their side. As long as they won, they would be able to use the name of the church and the country to declare Negary as an evil mastermind and deal with the aftermath.
There were quite a few smart people in Reya who noticed the truth, but the majority of the people here were just normal people whose lives depended on this land. If this group had openly tried to fight Negary and disrupt the people’s peace without a righteous reason, they would immediately face the so-called rage of the people.
Compared to that, although their vision was affected by acting at night, their actions were not. The group remained silent as they quickly approached Reya’s forbidden zone.
Patrol stations and tall fences had been set up around the perimeter of the forbidden zone, with groups of enforcers constantly patrolling around it.
“Are we going to force our way in?” Augustin asked.
When Chris was about to nod, a man with a bit of a limp who wore a metal mask and carried a set of bow and arrows stepped out, then told them in a low voice: “Follow me, we have a man inside who’s going to open the door for us. Quickly”
Saying so, the man went ahead first towards the fence. Chris and Augustin exchanged glances, then Augustin nodded. The group quickly followed behind the metal-mask man. After all, they were already prepared to charge in using force, even the worst-case scenario wasn’t going to be any worse.
