1465 Headquarters
Robben was followed by a group of about a dozen Federation members. They waited quietly in a corner as if they had no intention of joining the Holy Court.
He would ignore them for now.
Fang Heng quickly thought for a moment. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he quietly walked into the crowd and approached the entrance of the side hall on the right.
Before he could reach the door, the door to the left of the temple was suddenly pushed open.
A high-tier judge of the Holy Court rushed into the hall surrounded by more than ten Holy Paladins and said in a deep voice, “High Priestess Susie has instructed that the teleportation hall requires a large amount of energy transmission! Hurry up! Those who still have spiritual power, come with me!”
!!
“Yes, sir!”
A group of Holy Paladins who had just recovered immediately gathered in the hall and followed the judge in a hurry.
There was another flurry of activity.
Fang Heng took advantage of this opportunity to sneak into the right entrance.
Behind the door was a passage corridor. Unlike the chaos in the hall, the back hall was very quiet.
Fang Heng followed the passage and went forward.
At the entrance of the side hall, there were two Holy Court guards at the door.
When they saw Fang Heng rushing over from the other end of the passage, they all looked at him and raised their vigilance.
They realized that Fang Heng was dressed a little strangely.
He was not a Holy Paladin, neither was he a priest. He was more likely an ordinary follower.
From afar, the guard raised his hand to signal Fang Heng to stop.
“What is it?”
“The situation outside is very bad. The undead has already broken through the outer protective barrier.”
“The Saintess is fine. Believer, this is not a place you should be.”
Fang Heng slowed down his pace and walked forward, saying anxiously, “High Priestess Susie wants you to hurry over. The energy hub of the teleportation hall is insufficient. We need to provide energy immediately! Immediately! If we don’t go over now, it’ll be too late!”
When the two guards heard this, they looked at each other. Without much doubt, they hurried back to the main hall.
This was a bit of a gamble. He had originally wanted to attract the guards’ attention and launch a surprise attack. He did not expect that he was so lucky that he directly deceived two guards and avoided a small-scale battle.
After the two guards had completely disappeared from his sight, Fang Heng pushed open the door of the side hall behind him.
The hall of the side hall was extremely quiet. There was not a single person guarding it.
Fang Heng recalled the scene when he entered the temple last time. He walked to the side and fumbled around the wall for a moment before finding the hidden switch.
“Ka ka ka…”
He pressed the mechanism and the central floor moved away.
The gate leading to the headquarters of the Holy Court opened, revealing a passage leading down.
If he was not mistaken, Saintess Viona should be in the lower level of the Holy Court’s headquarters.
The Holy Court deliberately left the entrance hall unguarded to prevent intruders from noticing that the entrance to the Holy Court’s headquarters was right below.
As for entering the passage, there would definitely be a large number of guards guarding it.
“I have to think of a way to muddle through…”
Fang Heng whispered to himself.
“I got it!”
…
At the headquarters of the Holy Court below the temple, the clamor of the outside world did not affect the peace of the headquarters.
High Priestess Susie was in charge of protecting the Holy Mountain temple, while Viona’s protection was entrusted to the five guardian knights she had brought with her.
The protection work of the Holy Court’s headquarters under the Holy Mountain was handed over to the elite Holy Paladin Zarul.
Zarul had just finished his patrol and returned to the entrance when he heard hurried footsteps and breathing coming from the passage leading to the upper level.
Looking in the direction of the voice, a believer from the holy faction ran towards them in a hurry.
Who was it?
His face was very unfamiliar.
Zarul looked at Fang Heng, a hint of vigilance rising in his heart.
Before he could stop the man, he heard the man shout, “Undead! The undead is chasing us!”
Hmm? Undead?
Zarul’s expression suddenly changed.
Not good! It was the undead aura!
Fang Heng pretended to be afraid and hurried over.
When he first saw the Holy Court team guarding the passage, he was shocked.
There were actually so many people?
Fang Heng ran towards the group while shouting, “Sir, the temple has been invaded. A large number of undead creatures suddenly appeared on the upper level. They’re coming!”
The undead invaded the main hall so quickly?
Zarul’s heart sank when he heard this. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes and looked behind Fang Heng.
Soon, shadows appeared behind Fang Heng.
Ice Bones!
The Ice Bones controlled by Fang Heng’s soul brand squeezed together and quickly approached Zarul’s group in the passage!
“Raise your shields!”
The Holy Paladins of the Holy Court raised their shields.
“Attack!!”
Zarul waved his hand, and more than 40 elite Holy Paladins behind him rushed forward at the same time, fighting with the Ice Bones summoned by Fang Heng.
The strength of the Ice Bones was not weaker than that of an ordinary Paladin!
Not to mention, there were even a few elite-level Ice Bones among them!
In the chaos, Fang Heng was helped up by two Holy Paladins and brought to Zarul’s side.
Without waiting for Zarul to ask, Fang Heng hurriedly asked, “Sir, is the Saintess alright?”
Zarul had a bad feeling. He stared at Fang Heng and asked in a deep voice, “What do you mean?”
“Our Federation just received news that the undead wanted to take advantage of the Saintess’ injury to attack her! They suspected that the undead might have used a special method to enter the temple below and attack the Saintess!”
“High Priestess Susie is currently unable to leave the teleportation passage. Commander Robben quickly sent me to check on the Saintess’s condition. I didn’t expect to encounter an undead skeleton up there.”
Fang Heng was out of breath, pretending to be anxious.
“Holy Paladin, hurry up and take a look. The Saintess may be in danger!”
Zarul’s heart sank.
The news of the Saintess being injured was a secret of the Holy Court.
He didn’t expect it to be leaked.
D*mn it!
The undead was creating a diversion!
So their target was the Saintess!
Zarul made a prompt decision and waved his hand and said, “Team 2 and Team 3 follow me. The rest of you stay here. Pat, I’ll leave this to you!”
“Yes, sir!”
In the face of danger, Zarul immediately led Fang Heng and a portion of the Holy Court’s Holy Paladins to Viona’s resting room.
….
Below the temple, in the resting room on the fourth floor of the Holy Court’s headquarters, Mohetar leaned against the wall to rest.
The Saintess had been unconscious for three days.
During this period of time, Mohetar had been staying close to Viona. He would return to his room every half an hour to check on Viona’s condition.
Suddenly, Mohetar sensed something. He opened his eyes and turned to look at the right entrance of the passage.
Hurried footsteps approached.
Zarul rushed over with more than 20 Holy Paladins, including Fang Heng.
“Is the Saintess doing well?”
Mohetar had always been arrogant. He forgot to glance at Zarul, his expression as cold as ever.
“The Saintess is still resting. Please don’t make a racket.”
