David wasn't in a hurry either, he had plenty of time, and he wouldn't take any action until he knew the situation on Baruch Star.
Anyway, he is in an absolute advantage, no one will find him, and he can advance, attack, retreat and defend.
If there is a chance, David can use the absolute strength in his hands to slaughter, just to replenish the soul energy that has been lacking.
If there is no chance, he can also find a relatively safe place, build a safe house, install the ancient medium-sized portal, and leave Baruch at any time.
'Starship' stopped in front of the star-level portal for an hour, and finally this group of knights realized that something was wrong.
"Steward Carol, Lord McPhee's starship has returned, but he hasn't come down yet, so please come!" A knight took out the contact circle and reported to Steward Carol.
This group of knights didn't dare to disturb McPhee's fifth-level Templars, so they had to invite Butler Carol, the chief steward of the Baruch family.
An alchemy carriage from Baruch Castle came quickly and stopped in front of the 'Starship'. Butler Carol got off the alchemy carriage, ignoring the knights.
He came to the 'Starship', took out an alchemy card, and swept it on the hatch of the 'Starship', but found no response.
"Master McPhee, please come over!" Butler Carol was no longer as calm as before, and he said with his last hope.
You must know that this 'starry sky boat' was prepared by Butler Carol. He has the authority to open it, but he has not been able to open the hatch.
There are two possibilities. One is that McPhee's fifth-level Templar closed the hatch forcibly, not wanting anyone to disturb him. The other is that the 'Starship' has been occupied by other people, and the permissions have been forcibly modified.
The first possibility is yes, but this cannot be explained at all. Even if McPhee's fifth-level Templar was injured, he wouldn't let the 'Starry Spaceship' stop in front of the star-level portal, which would affect subsequent teleportation .
The second possibility is beyond the imagination of Carol Butler. If so, it means that something happened to McPhee's fifth-level Templar.
Although Butler Carol didn't know what tasks McPhee's fifth-level Templars performed, but those who could use the fifth-level Templars themselves were extremely difficult tasks.
Butler Carol called a few more times, but there was no response.
He gritted his teeth and pressed the alchemy card, and then the light on the alchemy card lit up, but the star-level portal was dimmed, and figures from Baruch Castle in the distance rose into the sky.
Butler Carol activated the alarm, the portal closed automatically, and the knights of the Baruch family activated the highest alert.
An illusory shadow moved from far to near, and arrived at the scene five seconds after Carol's housekeeper sounded the alarm.
"I have met the lord!" The knights bowed and saluted.
"Master, Lord McPhee's 'Starship' is here, but the hatch has not been opened!" Butler Carol stepped forward and explained to Lord Marcus.
Lord Marcus came here as an energy avatar. He looked at the 'Starship', and soon the expression on his face changed.
Because in his perception, there is no life in the 'Starship', not to mention the terrifying aura of McPhee's fifth-level Templar, it is impossible to hide it during his investigation.
The figure of Lord Marcus flashed, and he came to the hatch, and the hatch was forcibly pulled open with his hands.
The moment the hatch opened, he rushed in, and ten seconds later, he came out of the 'Starship'.
"Pass the lord's order. All the knights on Baruch are on alert. The sky knights will form a patrol team to monitor the surroundings of the family castle. We are in trouble!" Lord Marcus said to Butler Carol in a deep voice.
Lord Marcus knew what tasks the fifth-level Templar McPhee was performing, and even more so, how terrifying Duke Arthur was that the fifth-level Templar McPhee was going to deal with.
His eyes swept around, and he even had a feeling that Duke Arthur was most likely to come to Baruch.
Even if Duke Arthur did not come to Baruch, Lord Marcus did not dare to take it lightly, because what he had to face afterwards was Duke Arthur's revenge.
Lord Marcus thought of McPhee's fifth-level Templar, and the body in the distance was dizzy, and the symptoms of lack of emotion were also intensified.
The McPhee fifth-level Templar is the hope of the Baruch family. Although the Baruch family has two fifth-level Templars who can make a move, in fact Lord Marcus himself is in a very serious situation. Meditate and rest.
For the future of the Baruch family, the Baruch family spared no effort to train the McPhee fifth-level Templar Knights to ensure the prosperity of the Baruch family.
Lord Marcus couldn't imagine what kind of trouble the Baruch family would face when he entered the death test.
Although the Baruch family and Speaker Abe are allies, once the Baruch family is not strong enough to protect itself, then the first piece of meat from the Baruch family will definitely be the Lytton family of Speaker Abe.
With the last hope, Lord Marcus took a contact circle from Butler Carol, and entered the contact application in the contact circle.
As expected, there was no response, which shattered the last hope of Lord Marcus.
Lord Marcus entered another contact application in the contact circle. After waiting for more than ten seconds, the light on the contact circle flashed, indicating that the contact was connected.
"Algernon Templar, I am Lord Marcus!" Lord Marcus forced his mind to stabilize.
In fact, he was already out of his mind at this time, otherwise he wouldn't have opened the contact circle here.
Of course, this was also because Lord Marcus couldn't wait to know how McPhee's fifth-level Templars performed their missions.
"Great Lord Marcus, can you contact me for anything?" Algernon, the fifth-level Templar, asked a little puzzled.
He had just separated from McPhee's fifth-level Templar, and he had just returned to the family.
Lord Marcus is a veteran fifth-level Templar, and Algernon's fifth-level Templar respects him extremely.
"How about the mission?" Lord Marcus asked.
After discovering that McPhee's fifth-level Templar was missing, Lord Marcus guessed that the mission of the six fifth-level Templars had not been completed.
But he wanted a confirmation to confirm the guess in his mind.
"Didn't McPhee tell you?" Algernon's fifth-level Templar asked strangely, and he then replied: "We intercepted the diplomatic spaceship, but we didn't find Duke Arthur on the spaceship. Just return!"
"When did McPhee separate from you?" Lord Marcus asked again.
"Just after Tula star separated, McPhee's spaceship directly entered the portal, and I changed to the alchemy carriage before leaving!" Algernon's fifth-level Templar was startled when he heard this question, but he still answered road.
"Did you see with your own eyes that McPhee's spaceship didn't stop and enter the portal, or did it stop in other places before entering the portal?" Lord Marcus asked.
Algernon's fifth-level Templar immediately understood that something had happened, otherwise Lord Marcus would not have asked such a question.
"Lord Marcus, I saw with my own eyes that McPhee's starship flew straight into the portal without stopping!" Algernon's fifth-level Templar replied and asked, "What happened to McPhee?"
"McPhee's starship is empty, he is missing!" Lord Marcus replied in a deep voice.
Lord Marcus couldn't hide this matter. He absolutely couldn't let the Baruch family face their possible enemy alone, the legendary Duke Arthur who could instantly kill a fifth-level Templar.
What Lord Marcus is doing now is to concentrate all his strength to prevent the revenge from Duke Arthur.
"My god!" Algernon's fifth-level Templar, who was in contact with the magic circle, exclaimed.
Then there was the sound of objects being knocked off, and then the contact circle was forcibly disconnected. It seemed that Algernon's fifth-level Templar knocked off the contact circle in a hurry.
But Lord Marcus would not believe that a fifth-level Templar would make such a mistake, a sneer appeared on his face.
He continued to activate the application on the liaison circle, and this time he replaced it with another fifth-level Templar who participated in the quest.
"Lord Marcus, what can you do?" The voice of Gerald's fifth-level Templar came from the contact circle.
"Gerald Templar, McPhee is missing. I want to confirm when he separated from you?" Lord Marcus asked directly this time.
"What?" Gerald's fifth-level Templar reacted more intensely than Algernon's fifth-level Templar just now. After screaming, he disconnected the contact circle without even pretending.
Lord Marcus continued to contact the rest of the fifth-level Templars, but this time his contact application was not approved.
"Steward Carol, let me know that the Baruch family joined forces with the Jenner family, the Mather family, the Bertom family, the Milner family and the Muir family to attack Duke Arthur. The operation failed!" Butler Carol ordered in a deep voice.
"Master, will this offend everyone?" Butler Carol reminded cautiously.
If McPhee's fifth-level Templar really falls, then the troubles facing the Baruch family will be huge. At this time, if they offend five top nobles and release the news, then the revenge of these five top nobles will be huge. It will make the Baruch family more difficult.
"If you don't drag them in, do you think the Baruch family can maintain such vigilance?" Lord Marcus asked, pointing to the many fourth-level sky knights in the distant sky and the patrolling knights constantly cruising on the ground.
"Yes, master!" Butler Carol heard Lord Marcus' determination, and bowed in response.
Butler Carol didn't know that Lord Marcus hadn't made the most decisive decision up to this time, which was to drag Speaker Abe into it.
Lord Marcus stared blankly at the 'Starship'. The horror of Duke Arthur was just a legend before, but now he understands that Duke Arthur is more terrifying than legend.
According to the information he received from Algernon's fifth-level Templar, the moment McPhee's fifth-level Templar separated from the other five Templars, he entered the portal of Star Tula, and the whole process did not stop.
But in such a short period of time, Duke Arthur killed McPhee's fifth-level Templar, and then quietly escaped.
This once again proved that Duke Arthur possessed the strength to instantly kill the fifth-level Templar, because this time Duke Arthur did not premeditate, but counterattacked under extremely passive circumstances.
David stayed underground, even without influence, he could hear Lord Marcus' words.
This made him understand who his enemies are. These are six powerful top nobles. Not to mention the difficulty of facing the top nobles, it is extremely difficult to go to the main territory of the top nobles.
It is not always possible to take the opportunity to come to the main planet of the top nobles in this way, which makes it take a lot of time for David to go to the main planets of the other five top nobles.
But as long as he knows who the enemies are, David has a goal.
"Butler Carol, you take care of the matter here first, I need to leave!" Lord Marcus confessed in a deep voice.
Then Lord Marcus reactivated the star-level portal, stepped into the portal and disappeared.
David looked a little dazed with the shadow waiter's eyes, this Lord Marcus actually left Baruch's safety behind and left directly.
You must know that although Lord Marcus left the energy avatar, the energy avatar is also an extremely important combat power of the fifth-level templar. In the battle with the same level, without the energy avatar, the combat power will be greatly reduced. .
David also couldn't keep up with Lord Marcus's energy clone, so he looked in the direction of Baruch's castle.
The 'Underground Stealth' talent was activated, and David sneaked underground towards Baruch Castle.
Coming to Baruch Castle, the shadow waiter on the ground entered the castle, and saw that there were almost three steps, one post, two steps and one sentry inside the castle.
From formal knights to third-level earth knights, they formed combat groups one by one. Dozens of such combat groups patrolled the castle back and forth. This kind of defense was almost impossible for even an ant to enter quietly.
In the sky of the castle are more than thirty fourth-level sky knights, and even further away, there are still fourth-level sky knights rushing over.
Whether it is the sky or the ground, there is no gap in defense.
It's just that this kind of defense has no effect on David who is sneaking from the ground, and it can't have the slightest influence on Shadow Waiter.
Shadow waiter can move freely within a kilometer away from David, ignoring any walls and alchemy defenses.
David first searched every room in the castle. This is indeed the main castle of the top nobles, and any item is a treasure.
But his goal is not these, he wants to find out the real body of Lord Marcus.
From the ground floor to the roof platform, and then from the roof platform down to the two basement floors, David is 100% sure that he has searched every corner of the castle, and he has not found the body of Lord Marcus. .
