Chapter 864: Chapter 697, It's Him Chapter 864: Chapter 697, It's Him “What's going on?” the Priest asked curiously, turning around.
“The military camp's troops are gathering here.”
The beams of light that the Ghost could see represented the target's level, and such dense and unified movement could only belong to the city's military forces.
This also proved that among these two men, there was definitely an important secret.
They were involved in this city's affairs to the extent that they had no choice but to confront the consortium head-on.
Hearing this, everyone in the room was momentarily stunned.
“Where did Island Lord Wu Heng get his information? They're risking their lives by converging on the consortium,” the Priest still couldn't believe it.
Not to mention whether the other side dared to do this.
Even if they succeeded, the head office wouldn't let this city go.
Unless they were prepared to give up the city and live a life on the run.
Wu Heng said directly, “Go inform the Elders, and repeat exactly what I said.”
“Yes!” A team member immediately left the room.
Wu Heng's gaze then fell on the White Wings Gang Leader, whose face revealed a barely concealable joy, a delight that he was about to be rescued.
“Kill him, then question the dead,” Wu Heng said.
The gang leader's face changed dramatically, his eyes widening as he stared at him, “You're insane, stop, stop, just ask me whatever you want, I'll tell you, don't be rash.”
The skeleton attendant stepped forward, and a short blade plunged directly into the chest.
Blood gushed out profusely.
Another two thrusts were delivered swiftly, hastening death.
Soon, the smell of blood filled the air, the Priest frowned deeply, while the Investigator kept precise records.
Wu Heng stood up, and “Communicate with the Dead” was released.
The body rose and sat on its knees, gazing over, “Who is the official behind sending people to 'Bejaia City'?”
“The Minister of Internal Affairs, Morris.”
“What is the purpose of transporting people?”
“I'm not sure, but I guess it might be related to religion.”
Wu Heng turned and looked at the Priest, who was taken aback and gave a white-eyed look.
As if to say why are you looking at me.
It wasn't our Church that did it.
Thinking quickly, the direction of the questioning started to change.
“When you were captured, that elder in the dark clothes, who was he?”
“The body responded, “A person arranged by Morris, needed us to make arrangements to leave the city.”
“Was he from the Snake Badge Consortium?”
“I'm not sure. I don't think so. The Snake Badge Consortium left here a long time ago.”
After five questions, the body collapsed with a thud.
Wu Heng looked towards the Investigator, “Did you get all that down?”
“It's all recorded.”
“Let's go, to the Elder's room.”
Exiting the room.
Elder Tapani was issuing commands, and all the Rangers in the team had been dispatched.
The other members were also ready for battle.
Seeing Wu Heng emerge and glancing at the body dragged out behind him, he asked, “What did you find out?”
“The mastermind behind the transport of women and children is the Minister of Internal Affairs, Morris. The other person, he said is most likely not from the Snake Badge Consortium,” Wu Heng said.
Tapani nodded, “Kill and question the dead, then rush out to the harbor.”
It seemed like they had also made up their mind.
There was no more messing around with consortium processes.
The two entered the room, carrying a strong smell of blood.
In the room, Gianvito was still interrogating, which didn't seem to be going smoothly.
Glancing over.
Tapani said directly, “Wu Heng questions, Investigator records.”
Wu Heng glanced at the room, picked up the Investigator's notes and looked at them, then said directly, “Kill him, question the dead.”
The elderly man opposite turned pale and immediately shouted, “You need to follow the procedure!”
Kerim plunged the blade twice into the chest, and the body slowly slumped down, dead on the spot.
Wu Heng didn't risk any delay and directly released “Communicate with the Dead.”
The body sat up again, gazing at the group.
Wu Heng asked, “Are you from the Snake Badge Consortium?”
“No,”
“Who told you to disguise yourself?”
The corpse replied, “The Commander, Luqina.”
The room fell silent instantly.
Everyone frowned.
Wu Heng felt somewhat surprised, yet it seemed reasonable.
According to the rules, the entire city was under the City Lord's management, but being rarely seen and the only level 18 professional in town, it wasn't strange to do these things.
“Does the City Lord's Mansion know about the whole event with the Consortium?”
“Yes.”
Now, it appeared the entire plan was something prearranged.
To give the Consortium a false clue and resolve this matter quickly.
Wu Heng then asked, “Was the death of the local steward related to these two?”
“It was!”
Their gazes sharpened once again.
Anger flitted across Tapani's eyes.
They were basically playing him.
And the culprits turned out to be these two.
One last question remained.
Wu Heng asked, “Repeat what you know about the steward's murder.”
The corpse replied, “All I know is that the Commander had arranged an ambush. They killed the local steward and several members, and their bodies were burned along with those who died in battle.”
The five questions concluded, and the corpse went limp again.
Tapani looked towards the Investigator, “Did you get all that?”
“I did,” the Investigator nodded.
“Wrap up the body.”
Someone brought out a straw mat, enveloped the body in it, and Tapani directly stored it into the Space Ring.
After the interrogation.
The Ranger hurriedly entered.
“Elder, I have found that the enemy army is fully armed with crossbows and heading this way.”
“How many?”
“A large number, I fear it's over five thousand.”
Their faces turned grim, “Let's go to the harbor, board the ship, and just leave.”
“Yes.”
Everyone promptly left.
Wu Heng quickly returned to the dormitory, picked up the radio to call Philippa, but there was no response.
He then said, “The city's army is going to strike at us. Be ready to help us board and then leave.”
After that, he put away the device.
He jumped down from the upstairs and swiftly followed the team towards the harbor.
At the harbor.
A group of city guards stood on the gangway, glancing up at the female captain and the skeleton, smiled, and said, “You must be the captain from our headquarters, right? The Elder from the Consortium has asked us to notify you to come to the Consortium for an important discussion.”
Philippa's expression immediately sharpened; she scanned the soldiers below and asked, “The Elder sent for me?”
The soldier delivering the message also slightly stiffened.
He quickly realized there was a mistake in his words.
A short sword slipped from his sleeve, violently thrusting towards Philippa's chest.
Philippa was already prepared, swiftly retreating, while her skeleton attendant stepped forward, its longsword chopping towards the opponent's head.
Clang!
A harsh metallic clang rang out, and the soldier below staggered backward several steps.
The soldiers behind him drew their weapons and shouted, “Board the ship! Go to the Commander for the reward!”
Saying this, they continued to charge forward.
Simultaneously, from below the harbor, a large group of men burst from alleys on both sides, and several warships also rapidly surrounded them.
Philippa's eyes narrowed, looking at the arriving soldiers.
Trouble had occurred.
They were going to fight the army.
“Prepare for battle.”
“And lock up the Fifth Princess and that maid.”
