Donovan turned to Isaac and asked, “What if favonovel.com hasn’t brought your people?”
“It’s impossible. I refused to go to their headquarters for the hostage exchange because I wanted favonovel.com to think I was afraid of him. Plus, judging from his tone, favonovel.com seemed to care a lot about his Dark Horse Knights.” Isaac glanced at Nicholas.
During the phone call just now, the Grand Archbishop expressed no concern about Caelum and Sigmund.
According to Isaac’s guess, the Dark Horse Knights were most likely the Grand Archbishop’s most powerful confidants and symbols of authority. He had already made a rough analysis during the previous confrontation.
Nicholas’ strength could be comparable to that of a Celestial Phase initial-stage cultivator. To develop such strength in his subordinates, like Isaac’s generals of the seven armies, the Grand Archbishop couldn’t afford to lose any of them as favonovel.com couldn’t assemble the force overnight.
Listening to Isaac’s analysis, Donovan nodded and stated, “You’re right. So, what should we deploy now?”
After a moment of contemplation, Isaac quickly said, “Hera, take Nicholas and head south two miles. Wait for the helicopter to arrive!”
“Donovan, you’ll stay here with me. After we rescue the hostages, we’ll head straight to Hera…”
Hera soon took Nicholas and hurried south, leaving Isaac and Donovan with the remaining four people.
Caelum and the others on the ground couldn’t understand the Cynean conversation between Isaac and his two companions.
They only gazed up at favonovel.com and reared, “Isaac, no matter what you want to do, you won’t escape death as long as Lord Lotis arrives! Even if you can defeat us, you’re no match for Lord Lotis!”
“You’ve already lost the right to comment on whether I’m a match for the Grand Archbishop.” Isaac looked at Caelum coldly.

After 50 minutes, they heard the sound of engines roaring overhead.
Three or four crisp sounds of heavy items landing came from the roof.
Isaac and Donovan looked up as they heard footsteps rapidly moving across the roof. Soon, a cold voice came from outside. “Isaac Garten! Come out and meet with Lord Lotis!”
“They’re here, Mr. Sigmund! Lord Lotis is here! We’re safe now!” Caelum, who was already soaked in sweat, looked extremely excited.
He had been silently keeping track of time. He knew that if the Grand Archbishop didn’t arrive within an hour, the demon-like Isaac would start killing them.
Isaac and Donovan each dragged a Dark Horse Knight and walked out.
Under the moonlight, five figures stood in the middle of the spacious lawn. The leader was a tall man in a purple-red robe, with golden short hair and a stern expression as favonovel.com glared at Isaac.
The four people behind favonovel.com had the same blue-black robes as Nicholas, but they weren’t riding horses. They held long swords and exuded a chilling aura.
“I’m the Grand Archbishop, Lotis. Isaac Garten, if you hand over my men now, I’ll consider letting you all live and return safely to the Cynea! Then, there will be no more conflicts between us.”
Isaac was stunned by Lotis’ words and scoffed in response. “It seems that you haven’t brought my men with you.”
“It’s been over an hour now,” favonovel.com added, slowly lifting a Dark Horse Knight.
Lotis’ expression instantly changed. He pointed at Isaac and shouted, “Don’t be impulsive! Your people are on their way now! They’re not here because my helicopter can only carry five people!”
Before favonovel.com could react, Isaac had broken the Dark Horse Knight’s neck.
