Buzz—
A pale white light flashed as the Surveillance Authority Angel pushed the shield on its arm forward, forcibly repelling the Headhunting Rabbit.
Its legs slid uncontrollably for a short distance.
"Huff... huff..."
The Headhunting Rabbit opened its mouth, panting heavily. It had used several Martial Arts in one breath, and its entire body was already feeling the ache and pain of its muscles.
However, compared to the physical impact.
The Headhunting Rabbit was even more aware of its current dangerous situation. The long ears on its head twitched, and without looking back, it already knew that the Peace Authority Angel was catching up.
With the Surveillance Authority Angel in front and the Peace Authority Angel behind, the two Fourth Tier angel Demon Creatures had completely sealed off its escape route.
Faced with this situation.
The Headhunting Rabbit was very straightforward, raising its hands above its head, spreading out its calloused palms, and loudly shouted in Tang Zheng's direction: "I surrender!"
This monster!
Whoosh! Whoosh! The movements of the Surveillance Authority Angel and the Peace Authority Angel did not pause at all, and in an instant, they had arrived at the front and rear positions of the Headhunting Rabbit, sandwiching it.
The short-handled iron hammer and long spear staff emitting pale white light were raised at the same time, accompanied by Tang Zheng's voice: "You can talk after you survive."
*Holy Iron Hammer!*
*Strike Against Evil!* The weapons in the hands of the Surveillance Authority Angel and the Peace Authority Angel swung down at the same time, and the astonishing impact instantly enveloped the figure in the shadows.
The Headhunting Rabbit's pupils shrank deeply, filled with bloodshot eyes, and it quickly raised its arms to slap away the attacks from the two directions, roaring: "*Pain Nullification!*"
"*Probability Perception!*"
"*Magic Resistance Enhancement!*"
"*Outer Skin Enhancement!*"
"*Unfalling Fortress!*"
*Boom!*
A huge roar of impact exploded, followed by a soaring cloud of blood mist and minced meat.
Pfft—
A black shadow flew out from between the Peace Authority Angel and the Surveillance Authority Angel, then fell from the air, smashed on the ground and rolled over.
Tang Zheng raised his foot and stepped on the black shadow, lowered his head to look at the Headhunting Rabbit's bloody head, and shook his head with some disappointment: "What a pity."
"If you could have survived, I really wouldn't have minded having a good talk with you."
Oh? Tang Zheng tilted his head, a smile on his face, and looked at a figure in the distance to the left.
"You brat! Don't think you've defeated me with one blow, I am..."
Brain was holding a long sword in his hand, rushing from the direction he was blasted away in a disheveled but fiery and excited manner, shouting loudly.
But the words stopped abruptly halfway through.
Brain's body froze in place, looking at the two three-meter-tall Fourth Tier angels behind Tang Zheng, suspended in mid-air and exuding a frightening aura.
Not long ago, he was knocked away by a single blow from the Peace Authority Angel. This was the second time he had been defeated since losing the Royal Tournament.
This made Brain feel the long-lost excitement again. That Peace Authority Angel was very powerful, making him feel the pressure again.
And this was exactly what he had been pursuing! Therefore.
After Brain drank a bottle of healing potion he was carrying, he quickly rushed back, only to see the scene where the Headhunting Rabbit was completely bombarded by two Fourth Tier angels.
The splashing minced meat and blood! Made Brain's open mouth close again, and he briefly met Tang Zheng's smiling gaze.
Without a trace of hesitation!
Brain turned around and fled, even using Martial Arts to maximize his speed, leaving only a back view in the blink of an eye.
He wanted to find an opponent who could give him pressure, but that didn't mean he was planning to die.
A Fourth Tier angel was enough to make him feel threatened; if there were two, he would surely die! Faced with Brain's direct escape,
Tang Zheng was also stunned for a moment, a strange look on his face as he watched the rapidly disappearing figure. "That really suits this guy's personality."
"Forget it, I'll spare this guy's life for now."
Right now, Brain had just been defeated by Gazef not long ago and was only just beginning to break free from his arrogance and the feeling of having no rivals.
He hadn't truly unleashed his talent yet, so it would be a pity if he died now. Tang Zheng was planning to obtain the Martial Arts that Brain had developed.
Brain probably hasn't mastered the Martial Art 'Domain' yet.
Speaking of which,
Brain truly was a Genius. In just a few short years, he had not only developed Martial Arts like 'Domain' and 'Instant Flash,' but had even evolved them into the stronger 'Divine Domain' and 'Divine Flash.'
"It would be a great disservice to such talent if I didn't squeeze him dry."
Tang Zheng watched Brain's gradually disappearing, disheveled figure, the corners of his mouth curving into a meaningful smile.
Wouldn't it be faster to have these otherworld Geniuses develop things for him, rather than spending his own time and energy researching?
When Tang Zheng made his move earlier, he had already left a Magic Mark on Brain. From this moment on, he could monitor Brain's movements at any time.
Waving his arm,
the Peace Authority Angel and Surveillance Authority Angel transformed into white specks of light and dissipated. A glance around revealed a ground littered with corpses, proving what had just happened.
Tang Zheng walked to the carriage, looked at Anri, who was still holding her Short Sword with both hands, her face pale and stiff, and chuckled, "Weren't you very brave just now? Why are you scared again?"
"L, Lord, I, Lord..."
Anri's voice became stuttering, her pupils red with fear, yet also with some admiration.
The scene of those powerful angels being summoned by the Lord earlier made Anri involuntarily think of the storybooks she had heard as a child.
"Ugh~"
Anri's tense nerves relaxed, and the rich, bloody smell in the air made her stomach churn.
Even though Anri felt that she had recognized the cruelty of Adventurers and had even seen many corpses, so many bodies still made her legs weak.
Tang Zheng raised an eyebrow, turning his head away with some disgust, while also being somewhat impressed that Anri had managed to hold on until now.
There were many Magic Items on the bodies of the corpses on the ground. Tang Zheng had the Evil Spirit Dogs collect these Magic Items.
Although he didn't think much of these ordinary Magic Items, they could be exchanged for money or used by his subordinates.
A moment later,
Anri weakly huddled in the corner of the carriage. The Emerald Witch had also returned, and the Spreading Death Sword Group had all been dealt with by the Twin Witches.
Of all the attackers, no one survived except for Brain, who had escaped.
Gulu Gulu~ The wheels of the carriage rolled over the rough ground and the dried blood frozen on the ground, continuing on its way.
Soon,
the large number of corpses alarmed the nearby villages and surrounding towns, and even spread to the nearby Noble territories and the large city of E-Rable.
The largest territory in this area belonged to Marquis Raven, and the other small and medium-sized Nobles were all under Marquis Raven's control.
The impact of dozens of corpses
was simply not comparable to the previous few scattered corpses.
In addition to the Kingdom's officials and Nobles, other forces also sent many people to investigate.
After confirming that most of the dead were members of the Spreading Death Sword Group, a group of malicious individuals who were already wanted by the Kingdom,
the great Nobles in this area breathed a sigh of relief. When they continued to investigate and found that it was related to Adventurers, they directly stopped the investigation.
After all, the Adventurer's Guild was a force independent of the country.
As long as the dead were not civilians, the Nobles would not waste time on this matter.
Even the magistrates sent from the Royal Capital to various places did not conduct further investigations or issue additional instructions after clarifying the situation.
Instead, they passed this information back to the Royal Capital.
The other forces naturally quickly investigated and found out the results. After all, the process wasn't complicated, but the results were somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.
Information about the Gold Rank Adventurer Team "Free Will" began to appear on the desks of various forces.
Tang Zheng and his group proceeded as usual, selling "Regeneration Potions" in every village or large city they came to.
During this process, no more attacks occurred, as if all the bounty hunters targeting them had suddenly disappeared.
Dusk.
Pale golden rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds, scattering over the towering and majestic walls of the Royal Capital, filled with mystery and awe.
Re-Estize Kingdom.
Royal Capital.
Located in the deepest part of the city, connected to the city walls and built at intervals, were more than twenty circular giant towers surrounding the Royal City "Laurenti."
Under the light of dusk, one could faintly see the vast Magic array constructed from Magic Marks reflecting a faint magical glow on the city walls.
Located in the very center of the Royal City.
A delicate and luxurious palace, located not only in the heart of the Royal City but also the place where many nobles and important ministers held court meetings with the king—"Francia Palace."
Inside a magnificent, dignified, and multi-functional room.
A figure with graying hair meticulously combed, an aged face, and a frail body was sitting on the throne. His somewhat withered hands gripped a scepter, and a crown adorned his head.
Such attire and position undoubtedly indicated his identity—Rambossa III!
At this moment!
Rambossa III's wrinkled cheeks faintly revealed fatigue, and the crown on his head felt somewhat heavy. He had just finished a meeting, and his energy was already waning.
He ascended the throne at the age of 21 and was now 57 years old, making him a long-lived king even compared to other countries.
At this age, he should have passed the throne to his successor, but Rambossa III had no suitable heir in mind.
The thought of his two sons secretly vying against each other made Rambossa III feel weary. It wasn't that the two princes weren't excellent.
But in Rambossa III's eyes, once he abdicated, whichever son ascended the throne would likely become a puppet of the powerful nobles behind the scenes.
Rambossa III sighed inwardly. It wasn't just the issue of an heir, but also the internal problems of the Kingdom and the wars with the Empire over the years.
This series of events made Rambossa III, already old, feel a sense of helplessness.
Fortunately, it wasn't all bad news.
Several thoughts flashed through Rambossa III's mind, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, still filled with majesty.
He slightly lifted his eyelids and looked at the two figures standing below.
One was Gazef, who had won the "Royal Tournament" and was personally awarded the title of "Warrior Captain" by him.
The other was Renners, who defected from the Empire and joined the Kingdom's ranks, secretly known as the "Bloodthirsty Rose" and openly called the "Kingdom Rose" by various parties.
Both were rare Genius figures and assets to the Kingdom.
Faintly.
Rambossa III could also see the other battlefield behind them, where the "Pro-King Faction" and the "Noble Faction" were secretly competing.
This could also be considered a good thing.
"You two are already aware of the matter. The rest depends on your abilities."
"I hope to see your prowess on the Empire's battlefield next year."
A hint of a smile appeared on Rambossa III's wrinkled face, and his aged voice slowly echoed.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Gazef immediately bowed deeply, speaking respectfully.
Renners appeared somewhat calm, only slightly bowing in a noble's etiquette.
The obvious difference in their attitudes didn't surprise Rambossa III. Compared to Gazef, who came from a common background and lacked experience,
Renners, being of noble birth, would be extremely difficult to make completely loyal.
However.
Rambossa III didn't mind, because as a traitor to the Empire who had joined their Kingdom, Princess Renner had no third choice.
Even if she betrayed their Kingdom again, no other country would be willing to accept such a person; on the contrary, she would be hunted down by two major countries.
So in a sense, Princess Renner was more reliable than Gazef.
Rambossa III nodded slightly, waved his withered hand, and signaled that the two could leave.
Princess Renner and Gazef bowed again, retreated from the room, and walked towards the outside of the Francia Palace.
The smooth ground and exquisite passage reflected the figures of the two.
Princess Renner remained expressionless from beginning to end, with a cold, unapproachable look.
Gazef, who was slightly half a step behind, wanted to speak several times, but swallowed the words back, with a trace of embarrassment and helplessness in his expression.
The road ahead quickly came to a fork.
Princess Renner and Gazef paused at the same time, because a figure appeared in front of the fork, blocking their way.
Even with Gazef's personality, he couldn't help but be a little dazed when he saw this figure.
That was an extremely beautiful girl, even standing there quietly was enough to attract anyone's attention.
A head of long golden hair, smooth and soft, flowed over her fair neck and draped over her back, her cherry-like pink lips pursed, revealing a bright smile.
Her deep blue eyes, like sapphires, looked at the two with a soft light.
A simple white dress without extra decorations further accentuated the girl's sacredness and purity.
After a moment of trance (haze), Gazef quickly retracted his gaze, a trace of panic in his eyes, and bowed his head respectfully, "Your Highness Princess Renner."
Even though Gazef had never met her, he could be sure of her identity based on her beautiful appearance alone.
As expected, she is just like what I've heard, worthy of the name 'Kingdom Rose'.
