Chapter 859 -718 Bait_2
They say that although the opponent’s true form is a dragon.
But right now, it seems they are still in the guise of a human, right?
The Sun Knights shivered silently.
Perhaps it was because they had been so tense while traveling together, the Knight Commander could no longer contain himself. As the saying goes, if you don’t burst out in silence, you turn into a pervert in silence.
The night grew increasingly deep.
The moon rose above the treetops.
The Sun Knights’ minds were filled with random thoughts, yet their outward vigilance did not relax in the slightest.
And just at that moment.
Rustle rustle rustle…
Some sounds seemed to be coming from the surrounding mountains.
Although the magic circle trapped them in the valley and they couldn’t leave, their visibility was unobstructed, and so was the transmission of sounds and movements. They could distinctly feel the changes happening outside.
At the same time, a deep chill descended from the sky, as if something was slowly pressing down, causing shivers and suffocation.
The Order of the Sun Knights suddenly became extremely alert.
Zuo Fang frowned as he observed his surroundings, then drew his Knight’s Sword and headed toward the wooden shed.
The White-robed Bishop had just watched a spectacle of internal strife.
He was engrossed in witnessing the scene.
Seeing the Sun Knight approaching him with his sword, he jolted up, eyeing him with extreme wariness.
“What are you going to do?!”
“Too troublesome, we must leave here tonight, and to prevent you from playing tricks while we do so…”
Zuo Fang let out a cold laugh: “I’ll just cut off your limbs directly.”
Perhaps it was the intense murderous intent emanating from him.
And the chaotic aura he carried from his recent chase with the black dragon made him seem even more deep and dark, his smile especially sinister in the night.
The White-robed Bishop had no doubt this person meant what he said.
And he did not dare to gamble.
After all, his identity was not that important to begin with.
When they first captured him, these people had interrogated him, and though they didn’t seem to get any truly useful information, they had decided to bring him along for the journey.
As for where they were taking him.
The Sun Knights didn’t avoid discussing it in front of him.
They planned to bring him to the Pope of Light.
As the Holy Court’s Order of the Sun Knights were the Pope of Light’s personal knights, it seemed reasonable to bring him to meet the Pope.
Whether the Pope of Light is a player or not.
There’s still no evidence to prove it.
But in any case, before he has any other information to ensure his usefulness, these people can treat him however they want.
After all, as long as he’s alive, that’s enough.
The White-robed Bishop clenched his teeth. Because his entire body was bound with chains, he could only stand and hop backward.
But with such clumsy movement, he was sure to not avoid the attack.
So the White-robed Bishop quickly called out: “Don’t touch me, I can tell you the identities of those outside!”
Zuo Fang raised an eyebrow: “Not important.”
The White-robed Bishop shouted again: “I can also tell you how to get out of this magic circle!”
Zuo Fang sneered: “As if I don’t have a way. Didn’t you hear what I said? Dealing with you is to prevent any tricks during our formation break. Stand still, or I might accidentally cut crooked and only bring a corpse back to His Holiness the Pope.”
Again, the White-robed Bishop bellowed: “Act quickly!”
This time his shout.
Seemed somewhat out of place for no reason.
However, in the next moment.
Countless Magical Beasts surged out from around the valley!
Thunderous noises erupted from all directions, and the sky was covered with numerous Flying Magical Beasts. The cold of Extreme Frost slowly weighed down, already penetrating the barrier of the magic circle and entering the valley.

Atop the high peak outside the valley.
The Ice and Snow Elf’s expression soured as she gave a contemptuous sneer.
“That idiot, he’s really good for nothing but messing things up, revealing himself over such a trivial provocation.”
The Cavalry Corps was also by her side this time.
Because there were just too many Magical Beasts.
If they didn’t stay at the position specified by the Ice and Snow Elf, they might get caught in the indiscriminate attacks of the frenzied Magical Beasts.
They only had a few hundred men, and they lacked the unbreakable Aura of Light formation of the Order of the Sun Knights. Under such an onslaught, it was estimated they would not withstand for long before being completely annihilated.
At this moment, facing the dense horde of magical beasts surging from all directions of the mountain ridges, the cavalry felt a chill down their spine, growing increasingly wary of the Ice and Snow Elf.
In fact, long before the Ice and Snow Elf arrived here,
she had already made contact with the White-robed Bishop.
Even within the vast expanse of the Amiciya Mountains, the Ice and Snow Elves, originally situated on the divide of the Western Continent, managed to rush to the Eastern Continent’s Ridge Divide and precisely locate the ambush site,
all thanks to the White-robed Bishop.
Xu Shuo’s previous speculation was not wrong; the White-robed Bishop had indeed gone to the Far North to rendezvous with the Ice and Snow Elves.
But the two had a perfect missed connection.
After the battle with the Duke of Silver at the foot of the mountains, the severely wounded Ice and Snow Elf didn’t stop for a moment and swiftly left the Far North, heading straight for the predetermined meeting in the Amiciya Mountains.
At that time, neither party had a means of contacting the other.
And by the time a method of contact was found, they were already thousands of miles apart.
The current means of communication were utterly incapable of spanning such a distance, particularly when both parties were not adept at using Message Scrolls. Hence, it wasn’t until the White-robed Bishop too had entered the Amiciya Mountains,
that the two finally managed to establish contact.
But by that time…
The Ice and Snow Elf had been chased by the black dragon released into the mountains by Xu Shuo for three days and nights, with no moment to spare for his existence, passing by the Bishop without a single exchange of words.
Subsequently, when the Ice and Snow Elf finally escaped the pursuit,
Oh shoot, it was the White-robed Bishop’s turn to be hunted down by Zuo Fang and his men for a day and night, also leaving him no opportunity to contact her.
It could be said that they were constantly missing each other.
However, this time heading out to rescue the Ice and Snow Elf,
Wald XVIII had given him a kind of Message Scroll to carry, similar to the compass used by the Order of the Sun Knights, which allowed for the exchange of brief messages and locations within a certain distance.
Thus, after the Ice and Snow Elf received the distress signal,
though impatient,
it was still a player’s assistance. If a rescue was possible, then it was worth a try. Besides, she had gathered a not insignificant force within the Amiciya Mountains by now.
After some thought,
she quietly moved closer to observe.
And then, upon discovering that the group and especially the dragon were trapped in the valley, the Ice and Snow Elf dared to truly show herself.
She thus joined the team harassing the enemy.
The White-robed Bishop was responsible for communicating the state of the Order of the Sun Knights from within.
While she pondered whether to just rescue and leave,
or to also take the opportunity to trap and kill an enemy faction.
After deep contemplation, the Ice and Snow Elf still decided to refrain from rash actions. She was truly frightened by the mad chase of the dragon and thought it best to just rescue and go.
But unexpectedly…
it seemed like that dragon might be done for?
…
The Magical Beast Army, thousands strong, charged into the valley.
It was also at the same time,
that the White-robed Bishop let out a wretched scream.
Because Zuo Fang, without a moment’s hesitation, had lopped off one of his arms and then suddenly turned back, returning to the Order of the Sun Knights’ defensive formation.
He did not bother with the White-robed Bishop’s life or death anymore.
Either the magical beasts would devour him,
or let the Ice and Snow Elf be distracted.
“Boom!”
As soon as Zuo Fang returned to the formation of the Order of the Sun Knights, a piercingly bright light burst forth all around, like the sun in the pitch-black night, shining brilliantly and repelling the first wave of attacking magical beasts in an instant.
Then the formation shifted slightly, as a squad of knights withdrew, leaving the forefront of the defense.
Huge golden bows and arrows appeared in their hands, launching flame-like arrows of light at the avian magical beasts falling from the sky.
Whoosh—
The arrows of light pierced through the bodies of the magical beasts, igniting them in mid-air.
Zuo Fang did not rush to make a move.
He stood at the center of the formation, vigilant against any Ice and Snow Elf that might take the opportunity to attack, while at the same time, his hand hanging at his side quietly traced Magic Sigils.
The surrounding Aura of Light was exceedingly luminous.
This was not at all unusual for him.
And beside him, the water in the pot was bubbling and boiling…
…
