There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 840 - 705: Pursuit

Chapter 840: Chapter 705: Pursuit

The fortress’s right side was bordered by a dense forest, leading further to distant mountains.

The cavalry, clad in dark armor, charged ferociously, not resembling a hastily assembled pursuing team but rather a long-awaited elite force.

Had the Royal Capital already discovered his identity?

Since when?

Xu Shuo recalled everything that had happened from start to finish.

On the day they set out from the Holy Court, there were four teams.

The first team was the publicly known one headed to the Royal Capital, the grand convoy of the Holy Court army and the Papal vehicle.

The second consisted of the real Papal vehicle escorted by the Bright Moon Knight Order.

The third was headed North to meet the Duke of Silver, also serving to divert attention, another branch of the Holy Court army.

The last team was the Order of the Sun Knights.

The Order of the Sun Knights had always been stationed in the Tunus City State, conducting investigations and searching for Black Dragon Island for the Papal, leaving the western seas only upon the emergence of the black dragon.

But when they left the Tunus City State,

perhaps due to that mixed-blood Elf and the black dragon, a fierce chase had once erupted within the city.

Although at that time, Zuo Fang appeared under the guise of a church knight.

But that place being the first major plot point,

couldn’t guarantee that the Royal Capital hadn’t noticed any anomalies.

After fleeing to the Sars City State, the mixed-blood Elf had specifically altered her appearance, and her intention to stay in Sars City was likely to make contact with the black dragon again, to find a way to lift the curse within her.

The only thing Xu Shuo wasn’t sure about was whether the girl had contacted anyone before he met Sola.

But from when Sola and he headed North,

Xu Shuo could assert that she absolutely hadn’t passed on any information outside of his sensory range, not even a suspicious minor movement had occurred.

The Elf was Zen to the point where it seemed almost dysfunctional.

Hence, the path involving the Order of the Sun Knights probably hadn’t encountered any issues, even if the Royal Capital had detected traces of the knight order.

At this moment, they should be chasing towards the Amiciya Mountains, not the edges of the Eastern Continent.

As for the Silver Shield Legion,

Xu Shuo wasn’t entering the Eastern Continent from Irracks City State, nor had he directly entered the Andas Mountains but had left the Silver Shield Army’s troop movement route halfway along the Far North Mountain Range.

After that, he stayed overnight at a city church on the edge of the Eastern Continent, entering the church under a disguised identity and leaving in the morning without a farewell.

All things considered…

He felt there was virtually no risk of his identity being exposed on his side.

It’s not about exposing the journey, but the identity.

The troop of hundreds of cavalrymen behind wasn’t just pursuing a suspicious individual; deploying elite troops specifically to ambush here wasn’t necessary at all.

Their fierce stance was clearly a surety of his identity, intent on slaying him here!

So, upon further thought…

There was no problem on his side.

Nor was there an issue with his teammates.

It must be that the Holy Court army had leaked information.

However, the information he passed to the Holy Court army only stated that he would join them in Dennis City tonight, without detailing his itinerary.

The accomplice on the other side must be immensely capable,

To have tracked down his identity.

As Xu Shuo pondered these matters, he suddenly snickered and charged into the forest on his horse.

Catalina immediately followed him into the woods.

However, having galloped for a whole day, both their horses were already exhausted, and upon entering the forest, the scattered sand and broken branches on the ground hindered their speed.

Catalina glanced at the pursuers behind her, then back at the young man ahead.

“These pests are really annoying! If you don’t have a way to handle this, then I’m going to make a move, and don’t blame me for exposing my identity!” she shouted loudly.

“Go ahead! It’d be best to block them off all at once!”

Xu Shuo responded this time.

Simultaneously, he began to draw a Magic Array in the air with one hand.

Thick magic energy gathered from all directions, casting a faint glow in the air, forming golden traces of light that weaved through gaps in the trees.

There was absolutely no concealment in his actions, his intent to unleash a powerful magic was clear for all to see.

Catalina was slightly startled by this.

She puzzledly thought: If this man was planning to take action himself, then why did he also ask her to intervene?

Was he worried her power wasn’t enough to stop the pursuers?

Though Catalina didn’t act immediately, she waited, and waited, until the pursuers were merely a few yards behind, with the enemies already raising their long spears and swords.

And yet, the man in front hadn’t released any magic!

She cursed under her breath, clenched her hand in the air, and a long whip of extreme coldness formed.

Catalina fiercely swung it towards the pursuers, the first whip catching the weapons of those at the forefront.

They initially intended to directly wave off the whip, but the extreme cold froze their weapons instantly upon contact, and the freezing frost quickly spread to their bodies!

The expression of the pursued changed instantly!

He tried to loosen his grip, but in horror, found his palm, along with his weapon, frozen together; he couldn’t feel any pain, only bone-piercing coldness.

His grip on the weapon felt like it wasn’t his own, numb from the sheer cold.

In the next moment, Catalina suddenly exerted force.

The leading pursuer was abruptly pulled up by the whip and flung into the air, completely turning into an ice sculpture before being smashed against several others behind him.
