"Are you saying that they deliberately don't want us to see the Saint?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I just said that the Saint's wish has always been to use the power of this continent to save you. What does this represent?" Montanio paused and said with a heavy expression, "War, death, and huge losses."
"I think that over the years, few people in the Tribunal are really willing to be saviors. For them, since they have the supreme power on this continent, why should they go to the other side of the sea and fight the enemy to the death and waste their energy in vain?"
"What about you? Are you willing to do these things?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I don't know. But I choose to believe in the judgment of the Saint. Over the years, the Saint has guided us to develop this land into what it is today. If she thinks that the awakening of the evil god will threaten us, then I am willing to believe that this is true. So, I am willing to send you over and let her make the judgment." Montanio said.
"I thought the people who admired the Saint the most should be the executors."
"No, the closer the distance, the easier it is to lose faith. People like us see the Saint as a leader and mentor, who always points out the direction for us to develop. The common people see the Saint as a god-like being, who knows everything and can do everything in the legend. But what about those who are by her side every day? The Saint Judges see the Saint who was raised by the maids from childhood. They are used to seeing her at her weakest and most ignorant. How much faith will they have in her?"
Xiao Chen found that the other party's statement made sense. Perhaps this was the real reason why the judicial authorities were so hostile after hearing about his origins. Perhaps they had made such preparations many years ago. If they encountered people coming from the East Continent, they should deal with them in this way.
"Okay, no more unnecessary words. I think Brutus should be able to handle the part of you meeting the Saint after you enter the Saint City. I will find a way to send you to the center of the continent." General Montanio walked to his desk and took out a document. "Tonight, a supply ship will depart from the city of El and return to the city of Memphis, the logistics center in the southeast of the continent. This way you can avoid the executors of the judicial agency who are gathering here. After you escape this encirclement and arrive in Memphis, my people will arrange you in the supply team heading to the Saint City. It will take about seven or eight days in total for you to get there.
But I have two suggestions. The first is that you should not go with too many people, preferably no more than four or five. If they don't find you in Ai'er City, the judicial authorities will definitely search for you across the entire continent. Too many people will easily expose you.
Second, it is best for your ship to leave our port and anchor on the outer islands. Otherwise, your ship with such a unique design will be seen by someone with ulterior motives, and it will be difficult to hide it. The judicial authorities paid attention to you before because a spy reported the news of a strange ship visiting. Your ship can take this opportunity to leave, and it can also lead away some of the people chasing you. "
General Montanio was very efficient. After Xiao Chen agreed to his plan, he appeared on the naval supply ship that night. Esselit accompanied them on board. Also on board were Luo Ling, Mei Tiantian, Ye Zi and Roger, as well as the black earrings on Luo Ling's ears. Evelyn was sent back to the ship because her appearance was too strange and not conducive to disguise. Huang Zheng was to lead the marines, and Metatron had been in charge of the fleet. Now this was almost the strongest lineup Xiao Chen could arrange.
However, Montanio and others did not know that Xiao Chen and his men could expand into a large army at any time.
Before Xiao Chen set out, he locked up all the captured executors in the Demon-Suppressing Prison and then blew up the entrance. According to the structure of this prison, these people would not be able to get out for a few days.
He also sent the crow and the stork back to the boat, and Mao Kai used these few days to carefully study their spellcasting skills.
The supply ship was sailing along the coastline under the night sky, with white smoke billowing out. In order to conceal its tracks, it did not change its usual speed and headed towards Memphis at a leisurely pace.
In the early morning of the next day, more than a dozen black-clad executors stood in front of the collapsed entrance to the Demon Suppression Prison. The two leading men had gold trim on their robes and were not wearing masks. One was a man in his fifties with short purple hair. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the collapsed area, with no expression of joy or anger.
The woman next to him was in her forties, with long silver hair. Although there were some traces of time on her face, she was still very beautiful.
They are none other than the two Holy Judges, Demon Breaker Cleveland and Observer Yolanda.
"I can sense that there are more than a hundred executors imprisoned under this Demon Suppression Prison." Yolanda said she was observing, but in fact she had her eyes closed. "These people are in good condition and don't look like they have suffered any harm."
"That means they should still have strength?" Cleveland's voice was cold.
"Some people are moving, probably without any restrictions, while others seem to be still in a coma."
Cleveland's deputy asked, "Sir, should we mobilize the surrounding troops and start digging now? I know the structure of this prison, no matter how many people we send, it will take at least two days to dig through."
"Then why are we still digging? Let these idiots save themselves. We don't have time to waste here!" Cleveland said angrily, "Yolanda, use your Eye of Trace. Tell me which direction these people from the East Continent went in the end?"
Yolanda said nothing and closed her eyes quietly. Her hair and robes moved without wind. A huge mental power expanded from around her body. Her mental power was very special, thin and soft. If used in battle, it would appear weak, but if used for exploration, it could cover a very large range.
After a long while, Yolanda opened her eyes, and the strange phenomena around her calmed down. She said, "These people are very powerful. They consciously concealed their traces. I can only observe traces of concentrated explosions of magic power in three places. One is here, one is a house in the city, and the last one is outside the port. They should have gone out to sea in the end."
"In which direction?"
"They should be heading east. Did they go back to East Road?"
Cleveland said, "Don't rush to judge, first find out who owns the house!"
