Watching the battle angels led by Sariel using the war god weapons to fight hard against the great magicians and great knights surrounded by vines and flowers, Gabriel said, "Don't watch. All Sariel and the others can do is delay for a while. Let's go first. Anar and Muriel are sorting out the books and equipment, and will leave through the teleportation array later."
Ye Zi watched the battle angels being wrapped by vines and then dying under the sword and axe magic. She felt sympathetic and admired Gabriel's decisiveness. She could feel that the battle angel in front of her had no fear of fighting, but was filled with grief and resentment. He was eager to rush down and fight side by side with them. But he suppressed all these emotions and was calmly controlling the magic circle.
The teleportation array that Gabriel mentioned covered the entire floor of the room, and the core of the array was a silver longbow embedded in the ground. This artifact originally belonged to a demigod archer under the command of the God of War, who could break through all spatial barriers and reach the target directly. After his death, the bow was collected by the war angels, but they never found a successor who was qualified to use it. So when the Tower of Shining Wings was first built, the war angels of that generation made it into a very powerful teleportation array.
Gabriel took out a few crystals from his storage ring and placed them on the energy points of the magic circle. He closed his eyes and felt it for a while and said, "The Cross-Boundary Bow has just been activated, and the stored magic power is far from the best state. The enemy's space blockade has also greatly limited the transmission distance of this magic circle. In order to allow the people behind to get out of here, I must put the transmission point close enough. After you go out from here, you should appear in a block not far from the Royal Magic Tower. Don't stop at all, leave here immediately and try to meet up with the people from the China Tower Office. Then find a way to get out of the city and go to the Chinese territory. Miss Ye Zi, I need your help here."
Ye Zi said solemnly: "Sir Gabriel, the Tower of Shining Wings and I have a great connection and have helped me a lot. I will definitely find a way to get the Tower of China to accept you."
"Very good, you won't be disappointed," said Gabriel.
"What about you?" Mei asked.
"I will teleport out after you, and then try to attract the attention of some enemies in the city. This way you will have a greater chance of sneaking out with the others. Don't worry about me, their main force is still fighting Sariel, and the enemies outside may be easier to deal with." Gabriel saw the magic circles begin to activate one by one, and asked the other three to stand in the middle of the magic circle.
"We need to agree on a meeting place, right?" Mei asked anxiously.
"If we can both escape successfully, we will meet in Montenegro or on the way to Montenegro. Remember, you must be decisive on the road. Don't give anyone a chance to hinder your progress by using their old friendship!"
Mei nodded heavily, and then the three of them disappeared into the middle of the activated formation.

Outside the Chinese office, Luo Ling stepped onto the carriage and sat next to Li Tianrui.
"Let's go!" She gave a crisp command, and three carriages galloped out of the city. These were the last seventeen people from the Chinese representative office. After receiving Liu Pengfei's warning, Luo Ling did not hesitate and made the decision to retreat immediately.
"After you leave the city, go directly to school overnight. Don't stop and wait for me." Luo Ling said.
"Team Leader Luo, let me go with you. After all, I am about to reach the intermediate level of magician." Li Tianrui said.
"And me, I have investigated so many Heavenly King Capitals, it is impossible for anyone among you to be more familiar with the environment of the capital than me. If we need to avoid pursuers, I know many paths that can get rid of them. If we need to hide temporarily, I can also quickly find a suitable refuge."
"The fewer people who are there to help Ye Zi, the better. This way, it will not easily attract the enemy's attention. However, Catalina's abilities can indeed provide all kinds of help, so count you in. Li Tianrui cannot go. Your mission is to safely escort the staff here to Montenegro."
"All right."
Under the effect of the acceleration magic, the convoy was more than twice as fast as normal. It sped along the sparsely populated streets at dusk all the way to the city gate. However, from a distance, the city gate had been closed, leaving only a small opening for people returning to the city.
In the past, a small group of soldiers would guard the city gate, but now there were more than a hundred people standing guard. Seeing the three carriages coming, the leading officer raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him raised their spears and crossbows. These people looked well-organized and disciplined, and were very different from the city defense troops. They were actually the guards responsible for the safety of the palace.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has ordered that the city gates be closed tonight and no one is allowed to pass through!" said the Royal Guard officer.
"Team Leader Luo, this situation is very difficult to deal with!" Li Tianrui said while holding the reins. "Although it looks like there aren't many strong men, if we force our way in, I'm afraid our losses will not be small."
"You ask everyone to prepare for battle. We should use courtesy before force. I will try to 'communicate' with the officer first. If it doesn't work, as soon as I make a move, Catalina will be ready to kidnap people." Luo Ling said.
"Okay." Catalina, who was sitting on the other side of Li Tianrui, picked up the whip and held it in her hand, then leaned forward slightly, ready to pounce.
Li Tianrui made a gesture to the back, and the soldiers in the vehicles behind either picked up their rifles or prepared to cast spells.
Luo Ling stopped the car and said to the officer from a distance in the car: "Come here for a moment."
The Royal Guard officer was a little hesitant, but when he saw Luo Ling wearing a robe and the March mark on her chest glowing, he came forward anyway, "Mister Magician? What do you want?"
"We are leaving the city on the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Her Royal Highness did not say that any order to leave the city would be issued."
"Did you know there's a special operation just outside of town tonight?"
"Well... I don't know."
"This is Her Royal Highness the Princess' secret mission." Luo Ling spoke with a condescending tone, "Since you don't know, it means you are not qualified to ask."
"If there is no direct written order from Her Royal Highness the Princess, I may have to ask for instructions..." the Royal Guard officer hesitated.
"Listen, as a high-level mage, I don't have time to waste on you and let you delay the princess's mission. Even if I knock you down now, what's the use? Do you think that with a small mid-level warrior like you, no one will care about your life or death?" When saying this, Luo Ling released her mental power, and the guard officer suddenly felt like he was in a storm, and he couldn't muster any emotion to resist. The soldiers behind him also felt this pressure, and their formation was messed up for a while.
