Chapter 254 Unseen Threats in Ulon City

From the conversation, it seemed that Duke Fortemps had made some sort of agreement with the other side, targeting Hanjun.

But he hadn't expected the Order of the Shattering Light to go to such lengths.

Duke Fortemps certainly didn't dare ask for his reward, only hoping the other party wouldn't drag him down.

What he hadn't expected was that the Order of the Shattering Light would dare contact him at such a critical time.

The hooded man said, "Since we've already promised you, we'll fulfill it. But before that, you still need to do one more thing."

Duke Fortemps's look suggested he thought the man was an idiot.

In this situation, the Order of the Shattering Light still wanted him to help?

Did they have bubbles in their brains, thinking he would agree?

But the hooded man continued, "Trust me, nothing will happen to you."

Duke Fortemps flatly refused, showing no emotion: "If you called me here just for this, then there's no need to continue talking."

He dared to confront Hanjun head-on because he knew Hanjun couldn't do much to him.

But if Hanjun or King Varis found out he had participated in the rebellion, the consequences would be far worse.

If he were caught, his life would likely end here.

Before the hooded man could reply, Duke Fortemps turned around and prepared to leave.

Even though the hooded man called out a few times, Duke Fortemps didn't stop.

The players, who had been following behind, quickly retreated when they saw Duke Fortemps walking out.

After dodging Duke Fortemps's line of sight, they exchanged glances and hurried to take the news back to Hanjun.

Now that they knew the Order of the Shattering Light's hideout, what was there to fear?

They'd simply swarm in and clean out the lair.

The players were so enthusiastic that Hanjun didn't say much more and issued them a mission.

Once they received the mission, the group of players quickly found their way and stormed in, catching Duke Haillenarte, who had just realized something was wrong and was preparing to flee, completely off guard.

He looked at the players in utter shock, stammering, "How did you know about this place?"

After all, they had deliberately set up their base beneath the church, relying on the secrecy of this location, thinking that the people of the Church of Light would never find them.

But the truth was right before their eyes, and whether they believed it or not, they had no choice but to accept it.

In terms of combat ability, the players were obviously superior, not to mention that Dark-type magic was inherently countered by Light-type magic.

In such a situation, Duke Haillenarte had no choice but to surrender.

The players brought them back in front of Hanjun.

Sitting in his chair, Hanjun tilted his head and looked at the once imposing duke, who now had none of his previous grandeur.

Duke Haillenarte, knowing full well what was troubling the Church of Light most at the moment, surprisingly smiled at Hanjun, as if he was about to mock him.

But before he could speak, Hanjun waved dismissively at the players, impatiently saying, "Take him away. Why bring him here? He's an eyesore."

Duke Haillenarte's smile froze on his face, completely caught off guard by Hanjun's reaction.

But how could this be?

By now, their forces should have already reached Ulon City, and logically, there should have been some commotion by now.

Why was Hanjun so indifferent?

Did he not care to know what they had been up to?

As it turned out, Duke Haillenarte was completely mistaken.

Hanjun had no interest in extracting information from him.

Instead of asking him questions, Hanjun preferred to gather the intel himself.

So Duke Haillenarte was thrown into the same cell as Duke Dzemael.

The moment Duke Dzemael saw his companion, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, "Why are you here?"

Even though Duke Haillenarte had been hiding outside, he still couldn't escape capture.

It seemed that the heroes of the Church of Light had a bit of strength after all.

But even so, this didn't mean much, because their plan had already succeeded!

Hanjun, listening to the players' report after Duke Haillenarte was escorted in, rested his chin on his hand and said, "It seems that what happened in Ulon City definitely has the members of the Order of the Shattering Light meddling behind the scenes. Since that's the case, when we head back, let's bring these two along. Let them witness the true strength of Ulon City."

A player hesitantly asked, "But didn't they say Ulon City has already been taken by the demon army?"

When they return, would they even see a fully intact Ulon City?

Could the newbie village ever go back to how it was before?

Hanjun snorted coldly and said, "What, you don't trust your fellow players? You don't believe in the strength of the other people in Ulon City?"

Hanjun appeared incredibly confident, and from his expression, the players gained a bit of confidence too.

At that moment, they also felt that with so many players in Ulon City, how could it be breached?

Perhaps it was just part of the storyline.

Seeing the players make up their minds, Hanjun chuckled softly and then stood up, clapping his hands as he spoke.

"Let's go. We're heading back to Ulon City."

Meanwhile, in the very Ulon City they were discussing, the real danger had only just begun.

However, the people of Ulon City were confused about why this was happening, but in order to stop the demons from taking over the entire city, everyone rose up to resist the attack.

The players also fought with all their might, but for some reason, the barrier that Hanjun had set up was broken.

The demons swarmed in from outside the city, and even the Royal Knights couldn't stop the attack.

The captain had no choice but to order a retreat back to Ulon City.
