CHAPTER 557: CHAPTER 239: CAPTURED ALIVE

Sea Cape City.

By now, the city had been attacked and taken down, just like Durian City.

Although the United Army paid a considerable price, it was worth it.

Because they could now begin to approach Giant Rock City.

After capturing Giant Rock City, their next target would be the final city of this campaign, also the most central one.

The Royal Capital of the Blood Race Court.

But at this moment, they were still resting and preparing.

As for the Blood Race Court at this time.

To some extent, it had already become somewhat chaotic.

It hadn’t collapsed and could still resist, thanks to most of the Blood Race having become followers of the Evil God.

The group of Night Watchers led by Kana was also within this city.

However, they were currently silent in the conference room.

Silent because of the latest news.

"The three teams of Night Watchers tasked with gathering intelligence around Giant Rock City have all been captured alive."

Alyris spoke the news with a serious expression.

Not sacrificed, but captured alive.

One must understand that these three Night Watcher teams were basically the standard teams for Night Watchers now.

That is, one level 5 Night Watch Captain and four level 4 members.

They could understand if one team was wiped out, or these teams suffered significant casualties.

But being captured alive.

That was something they hadn’t anticipated at all.

To capture a Night Watcher alive, there was only one method.

Suppress them with overwhelming power.

Swarming tactics were meaningless.

Because Night Watchers didn’t have a stamina bar, or their stamina bar was beyond most people’s imagination.

Moreover, the damage they took wouldn’t affect their combat status, meaning they only had the options of fighting to the death or escaping.

Only by suppressing the Night Watchers with absolute power and controlling them could the phenomenon of live capture occur.

Exhausting their stamina to the point where they couldn’t resist was impossible.

Or using some peculiar power to knock out the Night Watchers in one go, but that was no different from overwhelming power suppression.

Plus, where would there be so many level six or seven beings to bother with ordinary Night Watcher teams?

So when this news came through.

The Night Watchers present knew it was a trap.

Basing on the current intelligence, and re-analyzing it.

They could discern that the bait trap was both obvious and straightforward.

Yet the simpler it was, the more effective it was.

Because the enemy had seized the Night Watchers’ need for the Creation Stone Fragment, even if it was a trap, the Night Watchers had to check it out.

Even though the Night Watchers didn’t act rashly, only conducting reconnaissance, they were still captured.

This indicated that the enemy had aimed for live capture from the start, without giving a single chance.

However, information was still trickling in through the channel.

"Let’s not rush to conclusions, let’s see what they intend to do first," Kana said.

They had an ability that the enemy couldn’t possibly imagine.

[Channel]

The real-time transmission of information, impossible to defend, undetectable.

In such collaboration.

Intelligence could be transmitted anywhere at any time.

This was an unimaginable great advantage, the less prepared, the greater the advantage.

And at this moment.

In the laboratory outside Giant Rock City.

The members of several Night Watcher teams were restrained and unable to move.

A special alchemy device held each Night Watcher in place, like being nailed to a cross, immobilizing them; even their mouths were sealed with a special magic seal.

This prevented them from communicating among themselves, and even eye contact was impossible, as their heads could only face forward.

It could be said they were given a very high treatment, indirectly showing their dread of the Night Watchers.

It was evidently an alchemy laboratory, surrounded by various devices, many of which were incomprehensible.

But before them was an argument.

"These people should be handed over to us!" a Blood Mage dressed in special robes shouted angrily.

However, the woman facing his anger merely looked at him with contempt: "We never made such a deal, capturing these Night Watchers wasn’t primarily your effort, it was what you should do."

"But there are 15 here! And we only ask for half, yet you don’t want to give us even one!

You better reconsider, or future cooperation won’t be so easy either."

The Blood Mage said furiously.

Judging from his attire and the power he had displayed earlier, coupled with the experience of these Night Watchers.

This Blood Mage was undoubtedly a Cultist, and within the cult organization, he held status and rank.

It’s no wonder this Cultist was furious.

Mainly because Cynthia had been too ruthless.

To the Cultists, Night Watchers were a real nemesis.

Especially after the cult crisis within the Cohen Kingdom had been eradicated by the Night Watchers, the Cultists had placed the Night Watchers as their primary targets for elimination.

Since then, they couldn’t infiltrate the Cohen Kingdom, their intelligence data was scarce and vague, the Night Watchers were too much of a hindrance to them.

A genuine opponent, one to be dreaded and guarded against.

In such conditions, they collaborated with Cynthia to capture 15 Night Watchers.

This was indeed rare.

The Cultists hadn’t stopped thinking of it, but they generally had no opportunity to capture Night Watchers alive, for Night Watchers often fought to the death.

Until the very last moment of their lives, they maintained their most vigorous combat stance.

This made wearing them down a luxury.

Only relying on certain schemes.

If it weren’t for Cynthia leading the entire bait operation, bringing enough reserves, they couldn’t have captured the Night Watchers.

This was an excellent opportunity to understand Night Watchers, only by understanding one’s opponent could one defeat them.

Although these Cultists were insane, they weren’t idiots.

Not to mention their leader, and even the entity they worshiped, shared a curiosity about Night Watchers.

In a way, Night Watchers were the best sacrifice object, what could make their gods happier than sacrificing their main enemies.

Under such circumstances, he certainly needed to obtain some Night Watchers.

However, Cynthia was mad enough not to give even one.

This infuriated the Cultists greatly.

"I said they are also part of the bait, I don’t care if they are 15 or 20, I only want one!"

Cynthia’s objective was very clear.

To her, capturing the Night Watchers was only to make them part of the bait.

The main goal was to lure Kana in.

In order not to lower the success rate, she naturally wouldn’t let any of the Night Watchers she captured die.

What if Kana could sense the death of the Night Watchers?

If the death toll was high, the weight decreased.

After all, these Night Watchers were not weak, just giving them up seemed a bit extravagant.

"Do you wish to defy the will of our gods?"

The Cultists knew they couldn’t match her, so they could only use other methods to suppress.

But Cynthia wasn’t buying it at all.

"Don’t think that only you can hear the will of gods!"

Cynthia said and her eyes widened.

A strange power emerged from her gaze, instantly forcing the Cultist opposite her to gasp for breath under the pressure.

"You, you..."

The suppressed Cultist said tremblingly, but he couldn’t say much more.

The controlled Night Watchers only then realized that the woman was also a Cultist.

It was just that during the previous battle she hadn’t exhibited corresponding power.

The ordinary Cultists wanted the Night Watchers.

But Cynthia wanted Kana.

This coincided with the wishes of several Evil Gods.

Compared to ordinary Night Watchers, the Evil Gods were more interested in the creator, Kana, of the Night Watchers.

Especially among them one particularly violent entity.
