Chamber of Commerce Alliance Building.
After the incident in which church knights broke into the building not long ago, additional guard forces have been dispatched here. In addition to the two city guards, Blue Mountain Port has also added a special operations platoon.
The special operations platoon is the backbone of the city's combat force. Each platoon has about fifty people. The soldiers in the special operations platoon have received professional training. Their physical fitness and combat skills are not comparable to those of the city guards.
Moreover, the commander and captain of the special operations platoon are both ascenders.
After the special operations platoon arrived, the defense of the building naturally fell on their shoulders. At this time, in the building management office, the commander of the special operations platoon, a gray-haired man from Xilu, was watching the video of the incident.
Footsteps were heard from outside, and then the door opened. The commander looked back and saw Yin Meng and several other church knights walking in.
Seeing them, the commander frowned: "What are you doing?"
"We are the knights of the Church of the Lord of War, and we need your cooperation." Yin Meng said concisely.
The commander narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You have already been here once before. Is it inappropriate to come again now?"
The influence of the Church of the Lord of War is very great in the Western Continent, but not all people in the Western Continent are believers of the church. There are also many non-believers in the Western Continent, as well as some people who are hostile to the church.
The commander of the special operations platoon in front of him was a non-believer, and after what happened before, he had become somewhat disgusted with the church.
Yin Meng did not get angry and said calmly: "The previous incident was a misunderstanding. That person is not a knight of our church at all. To be honest, we are here to investigate him now."
"Our church will issue a statement tomorrow. We can prove that this incident has nothing to do with the church. In addition, your superior should have been notified and asked to cooperate with our investigation. Why, he hasn't notified you yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier hurried into the room and whispered to the commander of the special operations platoon. The commander nodded repeatedly before saying to Yin Meng, "I just received a notice. Okay, how should I cooperate with you?"
Yin Meng looked at the 'Hunter' Ren Ping next to her, who came out and said, "Please pull up the video footage of all the incidents, as well as the surveillance records of the surrounding streets."
The commander called on several soldiers to cooperate with the church knights, and soon, a large number of images appeared on the screen.
From these images, Yin Meng and others basically witnessed the entire process of the incident.
Moreover, there are many clear images that show that the silver-haired man pretending to be a church knight is their target, Tianyang!
"It's this kid indeed!"
Chen Yan, who always had a bad temper, yelled: "This little bastard actually dared to throw dirty water on us, don't let me catch him, or I will make him pay!"
The other two knights also looked indignant and almost raised their hands to agree with Chen Yan's words.
Yin Meng gently raised her hand to stop them from continuing, then turned to Ren Ping and said, "Can you trace the target's vehicle records and movement trajectory?"
"Let me try."
Ren Ping pulled out a black box from his waist and opened it. Inside was a set of sophisticated instruments. He connected it to the city management system of Lanshan Port and operated the black box-like instrument for a while, and other images appeared on the big screen.
Through these images, the Church Knight restored Tianyang and Xingluo, respectively.
The two drove motorcycles and magnetic cars and went their separate ways after entering the wealthy area.
Ren Ping continued to operate. After a moment, he frowned and looked at the commander: "Is there no surveillance equipment in the civilian area?"
The commander chuckled. "Will you install surveillance equipment for the poultry? There are at least hundreds of crimes there every day. Even if we install equipment, it won't make any difference. Obviously, we don't have that much energy and resources to monitor that garbage."
Ren Ping shook his head and said to Yin Meng, "We can't trace where they came from in the civilian area by relying solely on the city management system. However, if we go there in person, we should be able to get more clues."
Yin Meng nodded: "Let's go."
The church knights were busy for two whole days. They worked day and night and ran to almost every corner of the city.
With the help of Ren Ping's tracking technology, they did find a lot of clues. For example, the vehicle stolen by Tianyang and his companions, the places where the target had stayed, and the daily necessities they left behind...
Everything indicated that they were still in the city and were playing a game of hide-and-seek with the church knights.
After working continuously for more than 60 hours, Yinmeng announced a suspension of tracking and all staff members would rest for 8 hours before continuing this work.
As Ascenders, and Level 6 Ascenders at that, they have extraordinary physical fitness and their bodies can withstand even a few days without sleep.
But being able to withstand the physical state doesn't mean there won't be mental problems, especially for Ren Ping. As an important figure in the tracking process, he consumes several times as much mental energy as others, or even more.
In order to avoid mistakes, Yin Meng gave the order to rest.
They returned to their residence. Blue Mountain Port had prepared an independent house for each of these "big shots". After returning to their residence, everyone went back to their house to rest.
As one of the knights participating in this operation, Luo Yingtian has begun to miss the life in East Continent. Everything in West Continent makes him feel uncomfortable. In addition, the target of this pursuit seems to be very difficult, and he doesn't know how long he will have to stay in West Continent. This relatively young knight is beginning to feel bored.
He closed the door and took off the black holy robe he had been wearing for several days in a row. He then smelled a stench of sweat, which made him frown.
As Silver Crown Knights, their equipment, although not top-notch, is pretty good.
The combat uniforms worn by the Silver Knights have good breathability and water absorption, and the 'Dusk Oath' armor also has a temperature detection system, which allows the knights to stay dry for a long time.
But after working continuously for nearly three days, the smell of sweat was inevitable. Luo Yingtian quickly took off his defensive armor and walked into the bathroom wearing a tight combat suit.
He planned to take a shower first and then have a nap, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep in this state.
"Maybe Chen Yan will be an exception." Luo Yingtian smiled, took off his shirt in the bathroom, and then opened the shower curtain. When the light-proof shower curtain was opened, he suddenly saw a beautiful woman wearing a black leather jacket and shorts standing in the bathtub behind him.
Xing Luo!
Xing Luo was carrying a uniquely shaped sniper rifle, and the black muzzle was pointing at Luo Yingtian's head.
Luo Yingtian never dreamed that the target they were chasing would be so bold as to run to their residence!
As a Silver Crown Knight, Luo Yingtian was no ordinary person. The moment he saw Xing Luo,
After the panic, he really chose to retreat and unleash his star energy.
He believed that the sudden surge of star energy would attract the attention of his companions. As long as he avoided Xing Luo's first shot, he would be able to hold on until the moment his companions arrived.
While this thought was still lingering in his mind, Luo Yingtian felt a burning sensation on his back and chest at the same time, and then his consciousness slipped into darkness.
Just a moment.
The knight turned into a corpse.
Because, a pitch-black, twisting sword blade condensed by thunder broke out from his chest.
Xing Luo was not the only one in the bathroom!
After pulling the Black Thunder out of the knight's body, Tian Yang gently placed him in the bathtub. Due to the characteristics of the Black Thunder, the knight's wounds did not bleed. If it weren't for the burn marks on his back and chest, he would have looked like he was asleep with his eyes closed.
In the past two days, while the church knights were busy plundering Tianyang, Tianyang was not idle either. He kept moving around the city, leaving various traces and clues, either actively or passively.
At the same time, Xing Luo investigated the residence of the Church Knights. She was also an expert in tracking. Soon, she found the whereabouts of the Church Knights.
So when the church knights returned to their residence, Tianyang, who had noticed it first, took Xingluo and sneaked into one of the houses.
He chose the bathroom as the place to attack, as he figured that after nearly three days of tracking, even the Silver Crown Knight would feel tired.
So, normally, the first thing a knight does after returning to his residence is to take a shower, and in the minds of many people, the bathroom is a private and safe place.
Here, the knight's defenses will be at their lowest.
At the same time, Tianyang used the ring he got from the Shadowless Killer to "seal" the bathroom space, making it difficult for the breath, sound, and even other information inside to be transmitted to the outside world.
Finally, he used Black Thunder and completed the assassination just as he expected.
After doing all this, Tianyang snapped his fingers and entered the drifting town with Xingluo.
Eight hours passed quickly.
When the time came to gather, Yin Meng discovered that Luo Yingtian did not show up. Suddenly, this woman's heart was covered with a layer of gray.
A moment later, they found Luo Yingtian's body in the bathroom.
"Son of a bitch!"
Chen Xian punched the door frame, sending shards flying everywhere: "This kid is so bold that he dared to come to our house to assassinate us. He doesn't take us seriously!"
Ren Ping observed the body and said, "There are no signs of fighting at the scene. Ying Tian was killed by him with one blow. Miss Yin Meng, do you think we should request support?"
"The opponent who was able to kill Ying Tian with one strike is very likely a Level 7 expert."
"No."
Yin Meng shook her head decisively: "If it was a Heavenly Rank expert, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. He would have been able to destroy us all the day we met him at the port."
"But he didn't do that. He even played hide-and-seek with us for a few days. This shows that, although he is powerful, he is not yet at the level of Rank 7."
"However, our opponents are very cunning, and we cannot let our guard down. From this moment on, we must eat and sleep together, and no matter where we go, at least two of us must move together."
The knights nodded in agreement.
