Chapter 1474 - 1474 The Gap
1474 The Gap
Krista frowned when Robben failed to answer. She waved her hand and said, “Go!”
The necromancy player who followed closely behind received the order and immediately swarmed forward.
Fang Heng hid in a big tree and watched the two sides fight beneath. He finally felt at ease.
He finally made it!
If the people from the Holy Court had come a little later, he would have been discovered.
!!
Fang Heng recognized the team leader of the necromancy.
Krista.
He was the most potent player among all the players who had besieged the Holy Court’s Holy Mountain Temple.
The Holy Paladins of the Holy Court had already been exhausted by the Ice Bones, and they were in a hurry to fight, so they quickly fell into a disadvantage.
“Come and help! What are you standing there for?!”
Seeing the unwelcoming situation, the Holy Paladin Captain turned to Robben for help and shouted, “Come and help!”
Robben glanced at him coldly and kept silent. He only waved his hand to signal the team to block the retreat route of the Holy Court.
“What?”
As he watched, Fang Heng realized that something was wrong.
When the player from the Federation saw the battle between the two sides, they consciously hid at the side. It was okay if they did not help, but they blocked the path of the Holy Court players.
F*ck! So that was how it was!
Fang Heng finally understood.
“They are the traitors from the North District Federation!”
No wonder Dani and the others had such a clear grasp of the Holy Court’s movements!
They were the ones who leaked the information!
The Federation was cooperating with the Holy Court on the surface, but they had secretly reached an agreement with Dani’s undead team!
Taking advantage of the battle below, Fang Heng carefully brought Viona to the trees and moved towards the periphery area of the Holy Mountain.
The most vital member of the Holy Court team was only an Elite Holy Paladin, the captain. The team’s overall strength was weak and was quickly taken care of.
Robben asked in a deep voice, “Didn’t your people s.n.a.t.c.h her away?”
Huh?
Krista’s eyes flashed with doubt, and then she frowned and said, “I don’t understand you. We’ve been looking for Viona since we came down the mountain. We’ve only returned after we met up with the periphery teams. No one has seen the Saintess along the way!”
Everyone from the necromancy looked at Robben.
At this moment, Robben’s negative instincts grew stronger.
Krista’s eagerness did not seem fake.
Was that person not sent by Dani?
Then who could it be?
Several thoughts flashed across Robben’s mind.
Krista stared at Robben and asked, “What tricks are you playing? Where’s Viona? Haven’t you been following her all this time?”
Robben’s eyes flashed with displeasure at Krista’s question. He suppressed his anger and explained, “Indeed. In the beginning, we followed the Saintess. However, along the way…”
Hearing Robben’s story, Krista and the undead players were confused.
Was the Holy Court believer who had carried the Saintess on his back a player?
He even s.n.a.t.c.hed the Saintess and ran away?
He could even summon a large number of high-strength undead skeletal creatures.
Was he a spy from the necromancy?
They still had no idea where he was.
Robben was also looking for him.
Hearing this, almost everyone cast a look of distrust at Robben.
Why had he not found a more plausible reason?
Krista’s expression was grave. He could not tell if Robben was telling the truth.
But he was highly suspicious of Robben!
Robben told the truth, but he hid the vague part about trying to seize the Saintess.
“So the person who kidnapped Viona isn’t one of your men?” asked Krista suspiciously.
“No.”
Both sides were silent for a moment.
The suspicion between them increased instead.
Krista looked away and said in a deep voice, “Search! There was no trace of the Saintess leaving. They must still be in the Holy Mountain domain.”
“Yes, sir!”
One of Dani’s players was a little anxious. He turned to look at Krista and asked softly, “We’ve already searched a large area, but we haven’t found any traces of Viona. Could she have already escaped?”
“No, Rivera has already set up a barrier to the Holy Mountain domain. The Saintess’ holy energy is extraordinary, so there will be a reaction when the barrier is touched.”
Krista paused and glanced at Robben.
“Don’t you think so? Robben?”
Robben noticed Krista’s gaze and understood what he meant. He said coldly, “Of course, the barrier was designed by us. It will work if you didn’t set it up wrongly!”
“Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you to wait here first in case you encounter the people of the Holy Court and cause trouble.”
“Continue searching. Be more careful.”
“Humph.”
Robben snorted lightly, indicating for the team to stay where they were and rest.
At this moment, Fang Heng hid in a tree behind the team.
Listening to their conversation, Fang Heng’s heart sank.
It was over.
He did not expect a special barrier outside the Holy Mountain.
He could change his literary form, switching between sacred and necromancy at will, directly avoiding the effect of the barrier.
But what about the Saintess?
Once the barrier was triggered, he would be targeted by everyone.
It might even wake Viona up from her coma.
Seeing that Robben’s team was determined to stay near the area below and even stopped to rest, Fang Heng felt it was getting trickier and could not help but lower his head to think.
“It’s not that there’s no way….”
Soon, Fang Heng had an idea. He looked down at the Federation team and the necromancy players resting under the tree.
Viona could wake up at any moment.
The slightest movement would startle Viona or the team below.
The most dangerous place was the safest.
They definitely would not have thought that he was hiding here.
Fang Heng thought about it and decided to stay where he was. He would wait for Ji Xiaobo to come and meet him.
..
This time, the explosion in the Holy Mountain temple was twice weaker than the previous one.
Most of the outer area of the temple was destroyed in the explosion, but the lower place was still safe and sound.
At the last moment, Susie used all her strength to activate her Domain of Devotion.
Under the protection of the domain strength, the Holy Court did not suffer too many casualties.
Even the teleportation pa.s.sage was not destroyed.
Various mid-tier game worlds could still send in their reinforcements in endless streams.
However, doing so consumed Susie’s mental strength, significantly weakening her combat strength.
Even High Priestess Susie and the others took quite some time to leave the ruins.
The Holy Paladins worked together to open a vast stone brick.
Susie walked out of the ruins with the help of a few believers and looked into the distance.
