“As soon as the operation begins, you will crush this crystal. Once I sense it, I will immediately launch an attack…
“If there is an accident, you will crush the second crystal. I will immediately retreat.
“The last crystal is a sensing crystal. I can sense where you are at any time. After I rescue Ferguson, I will find you… If I encounter a threat, I will crush this crystal. You will immediately leave Templar City.”
“Richard, be careful.”
“Take care, Sir Knowles.”

“Draco, the place where you found the demon is here?”
A human commander in black armor with a big belly glanced at the house across the street and frowned at the sallow-faced middle-aged man in front of him.
The middle-aged man who suddenly came to report to him two hours ago with an item contaminated with the demon’s aura claimed to be a wandering mercenary for a long time and found traces of the demons.
No one could fake the aura on that item, so he immediately brought two teams of troops to investigate.
As expected, he found something wrong.
His methods could not detect anything wrong with the building opposite as if it was uninhabited.
But he had seen with his eyes people were moving inside…
“That’s right, Sir.”
The sallow-faced middle-aged man’s tone was solemn.
“I suggest that you dispatch more troops. It would be best to completely seal off the surrounding s.p.a.ce to prevent the other party from escaping. You should know how proficient the demons are in spatial magic…”
The fat commander’s expression eased up a little when he saw the middle-aged man neither servile nor overbearing response.
“I hope what you said is true. Otherwise, you will know the consequences of lying about military information!”
He had been at level four commander for far too long.
This mission to discover the demon might advantageously make him a level five commander he dreamed of reaching…
There was a risk, and he was willing to take it!
Disguised as a middle-aged man, Richard secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.
After he came out of the Black Oak Manor, he spent a large sum of money for an officer’s information in the tavern that sold information.
A commander rated as unsatisfactory in intelligence was desperate to be promoted. He was two times dumber than an ordinary person. This commander became Richard’s target.
Richard used the officer’s ident.i.ty as a freelance mercenary. The officer in the tavern gave demon information to Richard for money.
Sure enough, this guy was already crazy about promotion. It was not easy for him to seize this opportunity and take immediate action. And he was even more proactive than him.
The fat commander took out a short whistle from his chest pocket, put it in his mouth, and blew hard.
But the short whistle strangely did not make any sound.
After a few breaths.
The situation suddenly changed.
A two-winged angel with three small squads of the templar dragoons from the sky swooped down like lightning.
The giant dragon sealed off the surroundings, and the two-winged angel with the Sword of Holy Light charged in.
The pedestrians on the street were all startled. What happened?
A moment later, a terrifying resentful scream resounded in their ears.
An extremely evil aura rose.
It was the darkness from h.e.l.l…and it made people feel fear.
At this moment, the pedestrians realized something was wrong. They subconsciously screamed and wanted to escape from this dangerous place.
But to their horror, they found that they could no longer move…
The demon was unwilling to be slaughtered and began to resist… But under the leadership of the two-winged angel, no matter how crazy the counterattack was, it would not cause any waves.
The speed at which the battle subsided was beyond Richard’s imagination…
After only a dozen breaths, the two-winged angel left with the templar dragoons.
Only a collapsed building on the ground explained what had just happened.
The pa.s.sersby had regained their freedom, but seeing that the situation had calmed down, no one ran away…
“It’s the demon!!”
The human commander with a big belly laughed out loud and looked at Richard in surprise.
“Wait for me here!”
With that, he waved his hand, and the two squads behind him immediately followed.
Richard looked at this scene with a calm expression.
After a long time, the fat commander sent someone to call him.
Richard did not hesitate and followed him into the house.
Then, in the half-collapsed hall, he saw the fat commander holding a piece of burnt parchment.
After the fat commander with a big belly saw Richard, he said excitedly.
“Draco! Look what I found!
“A list! A list almost burned in the brazier!
“It recorded several traitors who fornicated with the demon!”
That was a considerable achievement!
Richard was also surprised.
“Sir, you must be favored by the G.o.ddess of luck!”
He said hesitantly, “But is this list genuine?
“What if…”
Before Richard could finish, the fat commander said fiercely.
“Impossible, this is faithfully genuine!! I found it in the brazier!! Those flames are still burning on the paper. How could it be fake!?
“The brazier could have burned this list if I had come a little later!!
“Hahaha, credit it all to my quick hands and eyes!”
It was a vast contribution. Anyone who dared to question the fat commander would be hesitant.
Richard still hesitated.
“Sir, should we go and investigate first?…”
The other party said coldly, “I’ll handle this matter. You don’t have to care so much…”
As the fat commander spoke, he gave Richard a deep look.
“I won’t take credit for your work. If your superiors come to investigate the cause of this matter, I hope you can tell everything as is…”
