Arknights, my information is updated every day

It is hard to say what decision Border Earl will make in the end, as he may not even understand the specific situation yet.

But if Mostima escapes from prison, or even hurts someone in the process, Border County will have to make a decision.

Unfortunately, they were still too far away to tell Mostima, who knew nothing about the situation.

Chen Xiu sighed and could only hope that the situation would not be too bad by then, otherwise he would have a headache.

The night spread like thick asphalt across the mountains on the southern border of Leithania.

The Reina family's magic towers stand in the center of the mobile city, and their Gothic spires pierce the leaden clouds.

The moonlight flows quietly on the outer wall covered with vine reliefs, but cannot shine into the narrow windows behind the iron bars.

The rusty metal grid cut the moonlight into pieces, which fell on the shoulders of the fallen angel girl.

Mastema sat on her back on a haystack, her new horns barely visible in the shadows.

The arrow-shaped tail wags back and forth beside it like a happy puppy.

A bell rang from a distant tower, and the fallen angel girl's feet, which were suspended in the air, paused.

She spat out the hay in her mouth and slowly sat up, her eyes reflecting the family knights standing guard outside the prison.

She has been locked up for two days, and the force outside responsible for guarding her has been reinforced twice.

Even if she was slow-witted, she should have noticed something was wrong.

I didn't expect those people were so determined to kill me that they didn't give up even after running into the territory of Leithania.

After leaving Lateran, Mostima encountered several assassinations and attacks.

However, she resolved them all easily and did not fight back fiercely to prevent the conflict from escalating.

I thought that as long as I could escape to another country, everything would be fine.

As it turned out, she was still too naive.

Mastema sighed deeply, smacked his lips, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.

Although it is unclear why Border Marquis Reina did not take action against herself, nor did she hand herself over to those who wanted to kill her.

But it is not her character to sit and wait for death, and she does not want to let others decide her fate.

According to previous observations, it was time for the guards outside to change shifts.

After they open the door and check on themselves, they won’t come back in until six o’clock tomorrow morning.

Even though both wands were taken away, they still underestimated the difficulty of dealing with the black lock and the white key, otherwise they would not have had so much headache.

Taking advantage of the moment when the guard turned around, Mastema activated subjective time delay.

She stood up and followed the guard, but left a shadow of time on the haystack to fool the scheduled nightly inspection.

The fallen angel girl swaggered out of the prison, as if she was in a different time and space from everyone else. None of the powerful and alert family knights around her noticed anything unusual.

Even the warlock stationed in the tower was unaware of it and did not sense any magical fluctuations.

Mastema leisurely retrieved his staff and walked straight out of the dungeon corridor, bypassing the layers of security without any hindrance.

However, an unexpected accident occurred when passing the magic tower.

The subtle fluctuations of the time and space magic evoked the resonance of the space magic and activated the remaining traces of the Witch King on the spell tower.

Mostima paused, surprise flashing across his calm eyes. He really didn't expect that he would be so unlucky.

The fallen angel girl quickly quickened her pace and ran out of the Border Earl's Mansion while the spell was just activated.

In the magic tower, the crystal chandelier in the earl's study was swaying, and several letters sealed with gold wax were spread out messily on the mahogany table. The scarlet down curtains were blown by the night wind, causing waves of blood-red.

Franz sat behind his desk, his fingers drumming rhythmically on the armrests of his chair.

I really didn't expect that I would be dragged into the fierce dispute within Lateran just because I casually agreed to help... Aren't these Sakota always united?

Before he could figure out anything, a surge of magical fluctuations interrupted the earl's thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, the entire magic tower began to shake violently.

Count Reina was suddenly shocked.

What on earth is going on? Why is that thing being triggered?

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have kept the rituals left over from when our ancestors accompanied the Sorcerer King in the Four Emperors War.

Now, the Queen’s Voice will definitely smell the smell and come to check the water meter.

Even the Golden Law Guards might be attracted!

If you can't explain clearly, you will definitely be treated as a remnant of the Witch King!

Before Count Reina could figure out what to do, a Sakota in a white robe broke into the study.

"Sir Reina, please send someone to check on the criminal immediately!"

Franz frowned, but held back his temper considering the other party's identity as a diplomatic courier, and contacted the tower warlock stationed in the dungeon.

"What!? You said someone suddenly disappeared?"

After being surprised, Count Reina immediately thought of something and made a quick decision.

"Quick! Block the entire earldom. Send the garrison out immediately to conduct a search. We must bring the man back to me!"

Suddenly, the mobile city, which was originally quiet at night, became lively, and all the magic towers lit up.

Mostima huddled in the dim alley, sighing deeply at the sight.

Chapter 89 Chen Xiu: No one in this family is worry-free!!! (5K)

The morning light pierced through the gaps in the clouds, coating the towering walls of Rena County with a cold silver edge.

This mobile fortress on the border of Leithania has now retracted its wheels, and the Originium boiler under its steel base has stopped roaring.

The Reina family's coat of arms flag fluttered on the city wall. A sparse crowd gathered at the city gate, queuing up to be inspected by the guards. The entire city was under martial law, with entry and exit prohibited.

In the distant mountains and forests, the Penguin Emperor, which had been running for several days, stopped on the mountainside.

Chen Xiu, the Emperor and Texas squatted in the bushes, each holding a telescope, observing the movements of Reina Territory.

Dozens of obsidian magic towers are scattered throughout the city, with the Earl's main tower in the center of the city being the tallest.

The twelve auxiliary towers on the periphery formed a tuning fork shape to guard the main tower. A scarlet magical glow floated on the surface of the Gothic spire, and interwoven patterns spread on the stone wall like blood vessels. It was obvious that some kind of wide-area detection technique was in operation.

Although he had expected this, Chen Xiu still sighed.

[Ding, daily information has been updated]

While escaping, Mostima accidentally triggered the remnants of the Witch King on the Earl's main tower, exposing her own escape. To clear himself of suspicion of being a member of the Witch King's remnants, Earl Reina ordered a manhunt for her.

In order to avoid the combined efforts of the garrison, family knights, and tower sorcerers, Mostima had no choice but to constantly roam and hide in Reina's territory. Adhering to the principle that the most dangerous place is the safest place, she finally retreated to the Earl's mansion and hid.

[Affected by the remnants of the Witch King, the spells in the Earl's main tower have become somewhat abnormal, causing loopholes in Rena's city defenses. The tower's sorcerers are working overtime to repair them, and the energy pathways will soon be straightened out.]

[Today's Tao Cesium Intelligence: Under pressure from the remnants of the Witch King, Gertrude Strollo is on her way to Reina. The newly appointed Countess is filled with panic and in urgent need of comfort.]

Is it true that Sakota will become unlucky after falling from heaven?

I thought the worst case scenario was that Mostima was wanted by Count Reina, but who could have imagined that it would escalate to the point where the entire city was under martial law and a manhunt was imposed.

Of course, this couldn't be blamed on Mastema.

During the era of the Gemini Queens, relics of the Witch King were not uncommon.

However, few nobles dared to display anything related to the Witch King in their homes, let alone his remaining spells.

The reason why the Corina family was promoted to earl was because they had faced the Gauls in the War of the Four Kingdoms and had made outstanding achievements under the leadership of the Witch King.

If the old patriarch had not died a few years before the Witch King's fall, and the new patriarch had not been lucky enough to choose the wrong side, even if the Reina family would not have been liquidated all at once, they would have been alienated and suppressed by the local electors.

Chen Xiu didn't care about the future of the Reina family. He was only thinking about how to get the people away safely.

There are currently two problems that need to be solved. One is how to enter and exit the city, and the other is how to enter the heavily guarded Earl's Mansion and find the hiding Mostima.

The first point is relatively easy to solve, after all, there is a problem with the city’s defense now.

The time is very tight, and the tower warlock has about half a day to repair the affected Earl's main tower.

As for the second point, after much thought, only the Emperor can take action. He should use the Beast Master's invisibility ability to find Mostima in the Earl's Mansion and call him out.

After making up his mind, Chen Xiu immediately began to make plans.

"My boss and I will go into town to pick someone up later. Texas, you stay outside and meet them."

Texas paused, feeling a little uneasy about this arrangement. She actually wanted to sneak into the city with Chen Xiu.

Firstly, the current situation is too dangerous, and secondly, he feels that the emperor is not very reliable.

Instead of asking him to follow, it would be better to do it myself!

Chen Xiu saw through Miss Wolf's thoughts at a glance and persuaded her, "We must leave someone outside. After all, we can't leave the car here."

Texas remained unmoved and looked at Chen Xiu quietly.

"The reason we brought the boss along is because if anything were to happen, he would be the only one who could get through unimpeded."

"When the time comes, he will be responsible for delivering the message inside and outside. This is something that only he can do."

In Chen Xiu's view, the emperor is just a tool that can be used no matter how hard he tries.

In addition to preventing disasters at critical moments, his greatest use is that he will not be trapped by anyone.

Unless one knows in advance his characteristics as a beast master, a suicide can ignore any obstacles and constraints.

The wolf's tail drooped, and Texas had to admit that what Chen Xiu said made sense.

The emperor patted his chest proudly.

"Haha! There are some things that only I can do!"

"If all goes well, we'll be back before dark, but otherwise, don't worry, Texas."

Chen Xiu gave some special instructions, fearing that Miss Wolf would become extremely active at that time.

"I'll have my boss find a way to convey the situation to you as soon as possible."

"Be safe, I'll be waiting for you here!"

Texas pursed his lips and raised his fist to bump with Chen Xiu.

The Emperor raised his flippers and clapped his hands with Texas, saying goodbye before leaving.

Afterwards, Chen Xiu and the Emperor ran down the mountain road towards Reina Territory, and soon arrived at the foot of the mobile fortress.

Although it cannot be compared with a giant mobile city like Longmen, people still feel extremely fragile and insignificant when standing in front of Reina Territory and looking up.

Due to the failure of the main tower, the operation of some city defense techniques was extremely unstable and was in a state of intermittent stagnation from time to time.

In addition, a large number of manpower were transferred to the city to search for Mostima, which gave Chen Xiu an opportunity.

After boarding the mobile fortress from the checkpoint, Chen Xiu found an opportunity to leave the main road and did not queue up at the city gate.

There happened to be a freight channel next to the city wall where the detection technique had been suspended, so we could walk in directly.

Of course, there must be someone guarding it.

But this kind of defense is much easier to deal with than spells that operate day and night.

At the very least, the emperor could make some noise nearby to divert people away, and Chen Xiu could seize the opportunity to pass through quickly.

The emperor also knew that the situation was urgent, so he was very serious throughout the process and did not cause any nonsensical incidents.

So, the two of them successfully sneaked into the city and came to the alley outside Count Reina's Mansion.

"Boss, the guards won't pass by here for another half an hour, so go quickly and come back quickly."

"The Earl's Mansion is so big, how can we possibly search it all in half an hour?"

The emperor scratched his head and disappeared.

Chen Xiu was also helpless about this.
