Chapter 1817: Modified: Chapter 551 I must take this batch of equipment_3

Elsa and Lenny didn’t end up together.

This was all too common among the Noble Class.

Later, Lenny suddenly defected to the Playgod Clan, his fate unknown, and the two lost contact.

Elsa knew Lenny’s character made it impossible for him to defect and suspected hidden secrets, but she was also helpless in her sorrow.

At that time, she was pregnant and, thinking of her childhood sweetheart whose life was uncertain, decided to keep the bloodline.

Until a few years ago, when she saw the Playgod Clan put a bounty on Lenny, she realized her old friend was not dead.

As it happened, her people found Lenny first. They reconnected, leading to the following events.

The secret Elsa intended to take to her grave now left her no choice due to the current situation.

To protect her beloved grandson Ray, she thought of her old friend in Sinless City.

Despite knowing the Royal Court had a plan, its risks were huge, and the chances of Ray being rescued alive were slim.

At that time, most of the Royal Court’s undercover agents in Sinless City had been exposed. Desperate, she turned to her old friend for help.

After all, Ray was also Lenny’s beloved grandson.

And thus, Lenny’s rescue mission took place.

...

With thoughts racing in her mind, Elsa sighed deeply.

Upon hearing Ray’s account, the old lady guessed it must have been her old friend who took action.

Otherwise, no one would risk their life for such showy heroics under those circumstances.

Ray, seeing his grandmother sigh so deeply, asked with concern, "What’s wrong, Grandma? I’m fine, aren’t I?"

The old lady forced a smile, looked at her handsome grandson, and ultimately kept the truth to herself, saying only: "No matter who it was, they saved you and never intended to harm you. We must be grateful..."

"Oh,"

Ray responded, somewhat understanding, but he acknowledged.

As she spoke, the old lady’s chaotic thoughts continued unceasingly.

She had lived for most of her life and, as a senior of the Orlan Court, had seen through too much.

Political intrigue was always brutal, even within the Four Great Knight Families, it was filled with plots and schemes.

She even suspected that the attack on the "667 Secret Machinery Research Institute" involved some unseemly roles played by Outer God Followers and possibly the Royal Family itself.

The Four King’s Knights not only protected the Kingship but also made decisions on some court affairs.

The Herlands Family had always been a conservative force firmly against the Royal Court’s use of the two sealed Seven Monarchs of Catastrophe.

After all, the court elders could foresee endless future troubles.

But this displeased King Arthur greatly.

Especially recently, His Majesty’s [Tyrant] Sequence had advanced too quickly, increasingly suffering the backlash of the Demon Mark.

His brutality overshadowed his rationality, and recently, his orders grew more dictatorial.

The partial unsealing of "Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta" resulted from His Majesty’s wrath after the "667 Research Institute Incident," acting on impulse.

Even so, as part of the King’s Four Knights, their foremost duty adhered to the First Knight’s principle: loyalty.

Even if the Royal Family, due to erroneous decrees, had to pay a heavy price, they would bear it together.

They would always execute His Majesty’s orders.

Although the Orlan Royal Court’s revival succeeded and achieved unprecedented control over the East Wilderness in three thousand years,

the current circumstances left Elsa in confusion.

The Silver Moon Sect now wielded immense power, and the Outer God had been released...

Even as the ruler of the Four King’s Knights Family, she felt powerless.

Even if one day, the Royal Court reclaimed the Central Continent from the East Wilderness, could... could the ruling power still belong to King Augustus?

Now it seemed neither the Moon God nor the Outer God could be controlled by human strength.

Scenes that once caused the downfall of the Taren Dynasty seemed to be replaying.

Thinking of this, the old lady sighed again.

She no longer saw a future for the Card Master Civilization.

Although today’s plan successfully retrieved the institute’s equipment and personnel, she grew increasingly worried.

Without knowing why,

as if nearing life’s end, all power, wealth, and benefits seemed trivial now.

Having rescued her beloved grandson, she felt unburdened.

Instead, the old lady remembered her old friend and murmured words only she could hear: "If only we could meet one last time."

Ray, unaware of his grandmother’s concerns, could only silently follow beside her.

But just as this group thought they couldn’t be pursued,

without warning, a sudden shout rang out in the team: "Who is there!"

Over a hundred pairs of eyes looked over and saw two cloaked figures on the stone pillars flanking the road.

....

Leonard Churchill looked at the hard-won Orlan Royal Court convoy and clicked his tongue: "Oh my, it wasn’t easy to catch up to you... "

He was quite close to Sinless City; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sure he could stop them.

Hearing this muttering, Lenny’s eyelids twitched sharply.

Originally, he thought they might have some surprise attack plan or powerful comrades; otherwise, they wouldn’t have boldly pursued.

But he never expected... they would block the path so brazenly.

One must know, standing before them were the elite of the Herlands Family, part of the King’s Four Knights.

Crazy,

they must be crazy.

And yet, he found himself joining this fellow in such a crazy act.
