But as soon as he uttered those words, he was impaled by a moon spear.
Meeting a swift demise.
She is a mage.
Do not give her a chance.
Eliminate her.
The remaining asalants, recognizing the gathering energy of the spears, concluded her identity.
Armed with their weapons, they launched an assault against Loranna.
With a series of piercing sounds, moon spears manifested, effortlessly slaying them as if crushing mere ants.
The room was soon cleared.
Lorena scrutinized the garments of the fallen, confirming they did not match the description provided by Fong how of a figure clad in a black robe adorned with twin sythe insignas.
After a brief search, she discovered a hatch leading to the basement within a bedroom.
Upon opening the hatch, a stone staircase descended into the abyss, shrouded in darkness, reminiscent of a passageway leading to the depths of hell.
Loranna surveyed the scene and descended without hesitation.
The obscurity heightened her visual and perceptual acuity.
In the dark, her vision extended further and clearer, revealing two cloaked figures lurking in the shadows, armed with crossbows.
"So you are here," Lorena amused inwardly.
"Bow!" The cloaked figures tighten their grips on their crossbows, listening intently to the faint footfalls creeping down.
They prepared to pull the triggers the moment the individual above drew near.
However, just as they were poised to release their bolts, the footsteps abruptly ceased.
A figure materialized before them.
A dark red crescent blade swept through the air, severing their arms and sending their crossbows plummeting to the ground.
"Ah!" they cried out in agony.
Lorena paid them no mind, continuing her descent into the depths.
She periodically unleashed crimson crescent blades, striking at enemies concealed in the shadows.
The entire basement echoed with anguished whales resembling a hellish realm.
Lorena reached the end, glanced at the interrogated individual, then turned and ascended the staircase once more.
Outside the manor, a voice announced, "Sir, everything has been cleared.
" Someone rushed over.
"Indeed, no one escaped, right?" Fong Hao rose from beneath a tree while Inja beside him stifled yawns incessantly.
No, all those on the periphery have been eliminated, and the cloaked figures within the building have also been subdued by Miss Lorena, the messenger hurriedly reported.
They were astonished by the prowess of this striking beauty.
Upon their entry, after dispatching the outer guards, they found the interior strewn with bodies while she sat calmly at a table, engrossed in a book.
Domigica then led them into the basement where they beheld the cloaked figures, each having their arms severed, resembling mere human sticks, weakly sprawled on the ground, bearing grave injuries.
Very well, take me to see, Fongo instructed, rising to accompany him toward the manor.
Upon entering, the torches were reignited.
Gray Bear directed the personnel to transport the corpses into the courtyard, where they were heaped into a small mound.
Where are those individuals? Funghow inquired.
In the hall they have been bandaged.
They should not perish.
Gray Bear replied.
Understood.
Fongghao acknowledged, proceeding straight into the room.
Inside the grand hall of the structure, although devoid of bodies, the stains of blood splattered across the floor were a grim reminder.
In the center of the hall knelt six individuals, five men and one woman, all clad in faceless robes.
Each of their arms have been severed, the wounds hastily bandaged.
Yet their faces were palid, resembling those on the brink of death.
Where are the interrogation records? Fonggho inquired.
Here, my lord, Domigo responded, presenting the documents.
Fonhao accepted the interrogation sheets, scrutinizing them earnestly.
They recorded two individuals.
The first interrogated was named Yudunis.
His interrogation pertained to the timing of gold transportation and the number of personnel involved.
The second page detailed an individual named Dennison who possessed a map indicating a vein where gems could be discerned.
On a nearby table lay the items retrieved from the basement, a map, a gem vein, and the right arm of an orc hero.
H what is the right arm of an orc doing here? Chapter 366.
Is that a mouse? The interrogation records do not contain any information regarding the orc's right arm.
It is possible that it was obtained during a prior questioning or perhaps it is a relic from the original owner of this estate.
The absence of documentation for this arm is fortuitous, preventing Rebecca from demanding it upon seeing the records.
The blueprints were archived and the arm was placed into storage.
Gray Bear entered the room and announced, "My lord, the troops from Leis City have arrived.
" Fong Hao and his companions were responsible for capturing individuals.
While the leazy city forces would handle the interrogation and the aftermath.
However, the speed at which they approached was quite remarkable.
Replace the luminous stones in this room with torches and remove the paintings from the walls.
Be swift, Fong Hao urged.
Yes, my lord, the others promptly set to work, hastily detaching the luminous stones from the chandelier and the paintings from the walls.
Fongo casually stored them in his storage space.
Outside the window, flickering torches were now visible, signaling the imminent arrival of the Ley's city troops at the estate.
Let us go.
We shall leave the remaining mess to them.
Funhow ordered once more.
The group quickly departed through another exit, vanishing into the darkness before the army could encircle the estate.
The troops swiftly surrounded the manor.
As the leading commander surveyed the heaps of corpses strewn about, his brow furrowed in disbelief.
so many.
He was astonished not only by the enemy's numbers, but also by how swiftly Fong Hao and his small band had managed to bring down the conflict.
Commander, we have discovered six cloaked figures inside the room, severely injured, but they appear to be out of immediate danger.
A soldier reported rapidly.
Six faceless ones.
No wonder such a large contingent of guards was assigned this time, the commander mused.
Surround the area.
Anyone who dares to approach or flee shall be killed without hesitation.
He declared loudly before stepping into the room.
In accordance with Lady Rebecca's orders, he intended to conduct direct interrogations of the prisoners.
Once information was obtained, the forces in the city would swiftly apprehend the individuals, minimizing the Faceless One's opportunity to react.
This night would undoubtedly lead to many noble families and wealthy merchants facing raids.
The night remained heavy.
Fong Hao and his party sought refuge in a cave, hanging the luminous stones to await the dawn.
According to the plan, his role was solely to capture individuals.
The subsequent cleanup would be handled by Rebecca's people.
The amount of information uncovered would depend on who, between Rebecca and the Faceless Ones, could act more swiftly.
The one with the advantage in speed would hold the upper hand.
The luminous stones illuminated the cave as Fong Ho retrieved some food and water from his storage space, allowing everyone to replenish their strength.
They conversed as they ate, the surroundings having no impact on these mountain bandits.
They shared amusing tales, spoke of women, and discussed card playing strategies while some reflected on the recent events at the estate.
Reveling in the downfall of a noble's manner, Fong House silently observed from a side, he retrieved the spoils of this venture, the right arm of an orc hero.
Category skeletal upon reading the description that referenced the collection.
Fonhauer called the mantis man fossil he had acquired.
Could this arm also be one of the items stored in some warehouse? For those aristocrats with nothing better to do, it might indeed be possible to collect the arm of a deceased individual as a curiosity.
A solitary arm, however, cannot be fashioned into a skeletal hero, nor can it be transformed using the conversion pool.
