Chapter 681: An Incompetent Enemy Makes Ones Job Easier (1/2)

Shortly after the clan leader and elders were fed and had their wounds dressed, they were further given fresh black cloaks to wear and blend in the night.

Evidently, Lord Jorn and the elite warriors had come well prepared.

”Alright, carry the elders and let us leave quickly,” Lord Jorn urged while carefully placing Clan Leader Lidoran on his back while another warrior carried Lady Lilianna.

”The flames started by the second group will not last long. Once they are snuffed out, the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince or one of his people will soon realize something wrong and send people to check out this place.”

”Yes, Lord Jorn! We are all set!” the elite warriors complied.

”Good!” Lord Jorn nodded and said, ”Let us quickly this place and rendezvous with the second group outside the city at the designated spot. The Desolate Netherbird Second Prince still has a Mid-rank 2 Transcendent by his side—or so I heard.”

”It's true. I can confirm that.” Clan Leader Lidoran nodded weakly on Lord Jorn's back.

Having recovered some energy, his pale complexion became less noticeable. Although he could not move, it was not a problem to talk

”His name is Havoc, and his strength is infinitely close to the Late-stage,” Clan Leader Lidoran explained and said, ”My strength was only slightly inferior. Hence why I lost to him.”

”Save your energy, Clan Leader. We can talk later when we are out of the city,” Lord Jorn spoke out of concern.

Nevertheless, the Clan Leader's information helped him understand how powerful the subordinate under the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince was.

The Clan Leader was also Mid-rank 2 Transcendent but stood no chance against that person.

Someone like him who has only just entered the realm of Mid-rank 2 Transcendent after his bloodline awakening was likely to stand even less of a chance against the person.

It was a good idea not to confront the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince's forces directly.

Sometime later, the group shortly made their way out of the prison subtly, passing the corpses of the prison guards they took out earlier.

However, once they reached the exit, they quickly heard a series of hurried footsteps before Lord Jorn paused his steps and hushed quietly, ”Shh!”

The rest of the group followed suit and stopped without making a sound.

After a moment, the hurried footsteps became distant until it was ultimately no longer heard before Lord Jorn softly muttered, ”Seems like we weren't found out yet. Let us continue to leave.”

”Yes, Lord Jorn,” the elite warriors answered softly.

Surprisingly, the road ahead was met without obstacles. The group quickly reached the city gates without bumping into trouble.

However, it was also at that point that the city finally rang with alarm.

”Lord Jorn, it seems the enemy finally caught wind of what happened at the prison ground. We better speed up our escape before we are surrounded!” an elite warrior suggested.

”Then that's exactly what we will do,” Lord Jorn agreed with a nod before urging ahead, ”Charge out with me. We will break past the city gate's defense with brute force. Don't waste time and entangle yourselves with the guards.”

”Evade them if they are strong, and just knock them out directly if they are weak,” Lord Jorn instructed.
