Chapter 1863: Chapter 564 Give these geniuses of the East Wilderness a shock_2

In an instant, the battle between both sides reached a fever pitch.

....

On the other side.

The sudden assassination left the Herlands family members shocked on the spot.

They hadn’t figured out what happened when they saw Leonard Churchill already chasing after the assassin and disappearing.

Lenny reacted the quickest, raising his hand and summoning over a dozen mechanical puppets to guard around him, while he shouted sternly, "Ray, take some men to support Brother Leonard, make sure not to let him escape!"

Ray, being young and inexperienced with such events, quickly snapped out of it upon hearing Lenny’s shout, "Right!"

He knew Lenny was reminding him of something.

The Herlands family had just arrived, and a member had already been targeted in an assassination. No matter how it was looked at, they couldn’t shirk the responsibility.

Standing by and doing nothing would show a lack of foresight.

Although their family was exiled with mostly the old, weak, women, and children, they were still the Forbidden Curse Masters of the Four Royal Knights, and their combat power was extraordinary.

Ray noticed the wound on Camilla’s chest had been healed by the Holy Grail and seemed not to pose a major threat.

Thus, capturing the assassin became of utmost importance.

It was a matter of the honor of the Herlands family’s Guardian Knights!

He immediately got into combat mode, saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, I’m going!"

Camilla nodded, "Go."

Although she didn’t think Leonard needed help, she had anticipated such a scenario during her previous discussion with Leonard.

Even if they were Orlan’s former officials, she didn’t need subordinates not loyal enough to her.

Moreover, diverting the people was essential to identify potential threats within the Herlands family.

Ray did not hesitate and shouted, "Crea, Denisha, Robson, Nana, Pal...you all come with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body was enveloped in lightning as he used [Thunder Shadow Instant] to rush out of the door like teleportation.

Over a dozen family elites followed closely behind.

Almost as soon as they left, a fierce wind blew through the spacious guild hall.

The air was filled with an ominous feeling, like a disaster was about to descend.

Camilla remained calm.

Tracy Garcia glanced around and muttered, "The Will of Elemental Sovereign Lagros has descended..."

She realized something but did not react.

Although Lagros was one of the Seven Catastrophes Monarchs, being appointed by Moon God Arachne as a Moon God’s Retainer, his divine power could be estimated.

With that in mind, Tracy’s eyes glinted coldly, and a Nine-pointed Star Spirit Communication Array gradually became clear above her head: "Spirit Communication Skill: God-Controlling Court."

The anticipated assassination was certainly well-prepared for.

....

The ambush against Leonard was set across nearly half the city from the guild building.

But the battle’s commotion was immense; the overwhelming elemental force felt like a flood, palpable even from half a city away.

The rank of the laws at play was so high that even Ray, as a Legend, found it difficult to breathe.

"Damn it! There are more experts ambushing!"

Ray looked at the battle in the distance and only then realized the general layout of this assassination attempt.

The Royal Court evidently had multiple layers of contingency, determined to succeed in the assassination!

He also thought of the "Black Blade Organization."

Being from the Knight Family under the King, the Herlands family members knew the horror of this organization better than outsiders.

If they showed up, they must have come with fatal measures.

Damn it!

Damn it!

The Royal Court bastards were using them as bait!

This was Ray’s first experience leading such a complex conspiracy, and his mind was in a chaotic mess.

But even though he anticipated another wave of attacks on Camilla, recalling Lenny’s instructions, he resolutely did not turn back.

Most of the family’s combat power remained behind; the protection should be sufficient. If they couldn’t hold, he wouldn’t make a difference going back.

Only fighting to the death!

Ray had only one thought now: since Mr. Leonard Churchill was ambushed by Black Blade, following their operational style, he must be in grave danger.

The young man’s thoughts were very simple: no matter how dangerous it was ahead, he at least had to repay the previous favor!

Only after solving this ambush could he go back to provide full support.

With this in mind, Ray picked up his pace.

Surrounded by crackling lightning, he and his trained partners crossed the city at top speed, reaching the ruined factory already turned into rubble.

Despite massive waves of energy radiating out, destroying the surrounding steel structures into chaos.

At the core of the battlefield, a huge black barrier shrouded the scene, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Ray and his seven companions stood on the outskirts of the black barrier, examining it with grave expressions.

In the team, a girl skilled in barriers quickly recognized the source of the darkness and exclaimed, "Young Master, this is the five-tier relic [Netherworld Magic Lamp] from the Royal Treasury! As long as the elemental energy is sufficient, it can’t be broken from outside."

The Herlands family elites, having grown up in the Royal Court, had seen too many treasures.

This particular barrier relic was one of the strongest they knew from the Royal Treasury.

Its purpose was simple: to trap the target.

Barrier relics were like lockboxes; if they could lock, they could be unlocked. Ray asked in a deep voice, "Nisa, how long to break it?"
