On Madison Avenue, not long after Kane and the others left, several teams of dark elves arrived at the door of the hotel.
Looking at the empty hotel inside and the corpses of five of their own race on the ground, they realized that there were humans who resisted and escaped successfully.
Immediately, the captain leading the team hurriedly notified the other captains to conduct a thorough search of the area.
On the other side, under the leadership of the elf mage Adeline, everyone came to the sewer outlet of the kingdom.
Smelling the pungent smell, everyone frowned.
Adeline first cast a circular shield on everyone to protect her upper body from smudges.
She said immediately: "Let's go, all the gates of the city are strictly guarded by their troops, and they can only go out along the drain outside the city."
Kane nodded, and the current situation had to be like this.
Adeline opened the long-sealed drain door, and the pungent smell became more intense.
She took the lead and walked ahead, followed by Kane and others.
Wangdu has an intricate sewer system, and one who is not careful will get lost in it, so it is the best choice to follow the steps of the elf Adeline, she seems to have recorded the route of the sewer in her mind.
Walking in this dark sewer, they couldn't help but tense everyone's nerves. Although they knew that the dark elves would not appear here, they were still vigilant about their surroundings.
"puff"
There was a sound of water treading ahead, causing everyone except Adeline to hold their weapons tightly.
"Squeak."
Four or five mice walked past them quickly.
Seeing that it was just a group of mice, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Adeline, who was walking in front, said: "Excessive tension will only consume your spirit. There are no enemies here, so don't be suspicious."
After hearing her words, Kane and the others truly let go of their tense nerves.
Going around all the way, they didn't encounter any danger. Under Adeline's leadership, they walked for about an hour, and they came to a drain smoothly.
Through the drain, Kane could clearly see a small stream outside, surrounded by boundless grass.
This should be outside the city, Kane thought.
Adeline in front opened the drain door forcefully.
"Kangdang."
There was a sound from the rusty iron door that hadn't been opened for many years.
Immediately afterwards, several people fell from the drain and stepped on the lawn.
Kane looked up, and there was an endless forest in the distance.
After a lot of hardships, they finally came outside the city.
The shields on everyone also dissipated.
Kane came to the elf mage Adelin, and asked with a smile: "Your Excellency Adeline, do you have any ideas for the next step?"
Adeline was silent, and she looked at the few people she had rescued behind her.
Then, he said, "What? You want to invite me to follow you?"
Kane, who was seen through his intentions, was not embarrassed. He continued to say with reason: "The king's capital has been occupied. I'm afraid the northern city-states will be captured one after another in a few days."
"As for the south side, the other party will not attack in the short term, so I would like to invite you to my place as a guest."
Adeline did not answer directly, but asked: "You know, why didn't I go to save my employer, the Grand Duke of Water, but chose to help you?"
In fact, Kane had doubts before, he and the other party were just meeting for the first time, why did she take such a big risk, and came here to save them.
Kane said: "I don't know why, I think you must have your own reasons."
Adeline nodded and said, "That's right, because I knew it the first time I saw you. You are the breakthrough opportunity that the prophet told me."
Kane said with some doubts: "A breakthrough opportunity?"
"Well, let me tell you the truth, I have been stuck in this fifth-order high position for forty years. Even with the support of our elves' long life span of five hundred years, it may not be possible for me to break through to the sixth-order .”
"For this reason, I searched for the most powerful prophet in the country, hoping to obtain a trace of information that can break through the sixth-order legend."
"After the prophet looked at me for a long time, he only revealed one sentence, that is, the opportunity for my breakthrough lies in a human being. As for how to find him, the prophet only said that I would be able to detect him when I met him."
"As a result, I left my hometown of Odom city-state, transformed myself into a human, and traveled throughout the Dylan kingdom of mankind, just to find the human who has my breakthrough opportunity."
"Finally, in the twelfth year of my travels in the kingdom, I met you, Kane Gerrard, Lord Riggett."
"So, don't worry, I will always be by your side until I can break through to the sixth level."
Kane was a little shocked. He didn't expect this to be the case, and the elf mage in front of him was actually a Tier 5 epic professional.
Then in the previous battle, she really didn't use her real strength. Otherwise, with her fifth-level ability, she would be able to fight against the opponent no matter what, so that everyone would not be at a disadvantage. The dukes have to start the assimilation of spiritual sources.
"I see, Your Excellency Adeline."
After getting a reply from the other party, Kane nodded, and turned to discuss the issue of horses with a few cavalrymen.
After all, it was a long distance from Rigit's territory, and it was impossible to walk back with the current state of a few people alone.
Leaving aside the issue of how to obtain food, just looking at the current state of mind of all of them, it is very likely that they will suffer from mental and physical exhaustion after a long walk.
Therefore, it is very important to find horses, even two or three.
Adeline, the prophet, spoke next to Kane again: "If you want to find a horse, I know where it is."
Upon hearing this, Kane turned around and asked, "Really? Your Excellency."
"Yes, three to four kilometers away, there is a private horse farm belonging to the Grand Duke of Water. If you are lucky, maybe that place has not been occupied yet."
"Then I have to trouble Your Excellency Adelin to continue leading the way."
"Little things, come with me."
As a result, the people who had just walked out of the drain started on the journey again before they had time to take a breath.
Led by Adeline, who is familiar with the terrain around the capital, Kane and the others walked for about an hour, and soon arrived at the Duke's private horse farm.
Perhaps because they heard the news of the dark elves' invasion, the horse farm was already empty, and everyone fled in all directions, leaving only a few white horses.
This was cheaper for Kane and the others. They opened the gate of the stable, released the steed, and comforted it to let it get used to the scent of the few people.
The nine people rode on the horses and left towards the forest in the south.
