Isaac knew that although that person on the tree seemed near, favonovel.com was actually at least two kilometers away. Moreover, amidst this havoc, it was impossible to catch up.
“Nubique and the rest have gotten away…” Lupinus’ icy voice pulled Isaac back from his thoughts.
Right then, all of Isaac’s doubts cleared up.
Nubique wanted to kill Karmic and stop the Realm Seer examination because favonovel.com was in cahoots with the Crimson Brow Sect.
Zansam and the other two chief abbots were still standing on stage. They looked over at the catastrophe happening on the east side and then watched as Nubique fled from the crowd with eight of the Black Martial Munks. They also saw how the two thousand Dusk Soldiers Isaac had brought had come in handy in this calamity.
A portion of the Dusk Soldiers were fighting the cloaked bandits to the death while the rest was herding most of the devotees to a safe area outside.
When the shocked but unharmed devotees evacuated the field, the Carmine Temple’s munks could finally see the devastation that happened clearly.
Broken limbs were strewn everywhere. Bright red blood was spilled all over the ground, making it seem as though crimson flowers had bloomed in the grass.
Isaac did a quick survey. There were at least a thousand bodies on the ground.
“Hurry, save them!” the fat chief abbot next to Zansam yelled. He led a group of munks in red through the metal gate.
Over a thousand munks swarmed over, swiftly carrying the injured who were still breathing into the temple for treatment.
The Dusk Soldiers didn’t stay idle either. They lined up the devotees and checked every one of them for injuries. Those who were in good shape were immediately asked to evacuate.
“How could this happen?” Mizar stopped beside Isaac and stared at the desolation before her. Her voice was trembling.
How could those ruthless bastards stab their blades into these pious devotees?
Isaac calmly lit a cigarette and inhaled deeply. He was already desensitized to such scenes. The smoke favonovel.com exhaled quickly dissipated in the night air.
He said in a cool voice, “It was to stop the Realm Seer Examination, to capture Karmic, and to rattle the position of the Carmine Temple in the hearts of the common folk in Eastscape.”
“It’s like killing three birds with one stone,” Mizar gritted out.
They weren’t just followers of Carmine Temple. They were companions who had been with the Stoner family for centuries.
“If the aces of your family had come, the outcome would have been vastly different,” Isaac snorted coldly, shaking his head. Then, favonovel.com walked inside.
Mizar was rooted to the spot.
Suddenly, favonovel.com remembered what Isaac had said to favonovel.com earlier. Regret rose within her.
“Drakon, 11 people from the enemy’s side died. We are also holding three survivors from their side in our custody,” Lucas quickly reported as favonovel.com walked next to Isaac.
“Hand them over to Carmine Temple. Let’s go back and get some rest.”
Isaac wanted to ask Karmic to come with him, but the latter was now the Tenth Realm Seer. It would be a little inappropriate if favonovel.com followed Isaac into his room and slept in the same bed.
After returning to his room, Isaac sat down with his legs crossed.
It was still rowdy outside. From time to time, favonovel.com could hear sobs and screams.
***
On the other hand, after Nubique and his people escaped the field, they made a beeline for the forest in the east. The 80 or so people in red hoods reconvened at the edge of the forest.
Nubique squirreled through the forest and brought his men to a hill.
