Saint Morales is best at seals and enchantments. His title of "Hymn of Silence" comes from a battle against an orc tribe. He cast a spell alone to block the traces of one of his own legions. Not only vision and hearing, but also traces of smell and footprints were erased by him. These were the tracking methods that the orcs were best at. What's more amazing is that he also blocked the means of mental power and magic detection, allowing this invisible legion to deceive several orc troops along the way, giving the Empire's legion the opportunity to directly enter the Tiger Flag's king's tent and directly kill the Tiger King, four princes, and a group of tiger nobles at the time. Since then, Tiger Flag has never recovered, and has not yet recovered its former strength to this day.
As a disciple of Saint Morales, Master Gandas was naturally good at hiding his whereabouts. The concealment magic he inherited from Saint Morales was much more effective than ordinary invisibility. The seven people from the empire disappeared in front of Zhang Hong under his concealment magic, and Zhang Hong couldn't even detect their existence by detecting their mental power. The most amazing thing was that the sound of their conversations could not be heard by the outside world, but Zhang Hong could hear their conversation through the seal.
From that seal, he could also feel that Master Gandas's will was connected to him, and his orders could be transmitted directly to Zhang Hong's mind.
"Master Gandas, the time has come. The people outside should be ready. We can start now." Amigo reported.
"Well. Zhang Hong, you lead the way." Master Gandas ordered through the seal.
Zhang Hong did not dare to neglect it and had to do as he was told. Master Gandas had just activated the seal, and as soon as he thought about it, Zhang Hong's mental power was sealed in his body, making it almost impossible for him to mobilize any magic power around him.
Zhang Hong led them to the doorway under the city wall and said, "Master Gandas, I will do my best to serve you, but if there is a fight later, please take care of me and remove my seal for a while. I don't mean to cause trouble, but I don't have the mental strength to protect myself. His Majesty the Emperor Alfred will need me in the future, and if I get hurt here, it will be the loss of the empire."
"Hehe. Your attitude is really interesting." Master Gandas laughed in his mind, "Don't worry, I'm here. Do you think this seal will only suppress your power? It is also a protection for you. You will know when the time comes."
Zhang Hong walked in front, and the imperial people led by Master Gandas followed behind him. However, because of the concealing magic, in the eyes of others, only Zhang Hong could be seen.
Not long after they left this corner, they ran into a patrol team composed of a squad of guards. The patrol team leader saw Zhang Hong and asked in surprise: "Teacher Zhang, how did you come out from such a remote place?"
"I... came out for a walk after dinner." Zhang Hong had just spoken when he heard Gandas say in his mind: "Hold them back and attract their attention."
"Walking?" The patrol captain glanced at the dark alley behind Zhang Hong, "But it's dark inside, there's not even a single person..."
"Yes. I've been practicing a magic recently, and it's easier to practice in the dark, so I practiced here. Also, even if there's some noise here, it won't affect other people." Zhang Hong made up an excuse, "I can tell you what kind of magic it is."
"Oh..." The patrol captain nodded, "I see. It's okay, Teacher Zhang, I'm just asking casually. You who practice magic often have all kinds of strange things that we who practice fighting spirit can't understand. Then you go ahead and do your work."
When the patrol leader was about to turn around, he was suddenly stunned and looked panicked. The soldiers behind him also raised their guns and aimed randomly at the surroundings. It was as if they were suddenly surrounded by some enemy. But in Zhang Hong's vision, the surroundings were still very quiet, with nothing.
The soldiers began to open their mouths and shout loudly, but Zhang Hong could not hear any sound, as if he was watching a pantomime. He could see their lips opening and closing, saliva flying, but he could only hear the sound of the evening breeze blowing in his ears.
Suddenly, one after another, flashes of knife light appeared around these warriors and slashed at them from all directions. One warrior was cut in half, one warrior was chopped in half, and some warriors had their hands and feet chopped off and their heads chopped off, but all of this remained silent.
Zhang Hong covered his mouth in horror as he watched his compatriots being hacked to pieces in seconds by enemies that emerged from the shadows.
Only the patrol captain dodged the first sword and fired a shot with all his might, but in such a chaotic battlefield, it was impossible for him to hit any enemy.
Zhang Hong saw his movements, but did not hear the crisp crackling sound of the air gun. With a whoosh, a bullet flew past not far from him, and then hit the stone wall with a little cracking sound. The sound was not much louder than kicking a small stone, and it could not attract anyone's attention in the night.
Zhang Hong finally realized that Gandas had used some kind of barrier to cover the entire patrol team, so the sound was only made again when the bullet flew out of the patrol team's range.
After the patrol captain fired a shot, a long sword pierced his heart from behind. Zhang Hong saw that the other party was facing him when he was dying. His face was full of pain and he shouted two words to him.
Zhang Hong tried hard to distinguish what he was shouting: Enemy attack, warning! Enemy attack, warning!
The imperial warriors under Gandas were covered in blood, revealing part of their bodies. In the dark night, they looked like terrifying ghosts. Instead of dealing with the bodies, they urged Zhang Hong to leave quickly. Zhang Hong walked along the wall, bypassing the bodies on the ground, and walked to the front. When he looked back, he saw that all the bodies and bloodstains were gone. Looking again, the bloodstained figures also disappeared into the air again.
Gandas really lived up to his teacher's reputation. All enemies were destroyed in silence, and those who were destroyed disappeared in silence, just as if nothing had happened that night.
“Master Gandas. Actually… we don’t need to do that. There’s no need to kill these people. They, they just believed what I said.” Zhang Hong said softly.
Gandas said: "They are suspicious. There are traces of transmission in the room behind. Of course they have to be killed! What? Don't you understand your position? You are on the side of the empire now, and you still sympathize with them. Do you want to keep them company?" (To be continued)
