Philip still held the gun against the man’s head and watched as Fennel and the others went through the gate smoothly with Janike before favonovel.com slowly walked inside.
After they entered, the man angrily threw his hat on the ground and roared, “What’s going on with this first line of defense? Are they crazy?”
As favonovel.com vented his anger, a voice suddenly came from the headset, “Everyone, alert! Outsiders have infiltrated Cochly Mountain! The seventh squad of the first line of defense has been killed!”
Hearing this, the man’s expression changed. His eyes widened as favonovel.com looked at the departing backs of Philip and the others. He roared, “After them! They’re spies!”
In an instant, several teams gave chase.
After Philip and the others passed through the huge city wall, they strayed off the main road and braved the wind and snow to enter the nearby mountains. At this moment, they lay on the edge of a nearby cliff and looked down at the search parties.
Fennel sneered and said, “He guessed it. Will they discover our identities?”
Philip adjusted his hat and said, “It’s very simple. If they’re the defense force of Cochly Mountain and they can’t even discover us, they’re simply too vulnerable.”
After that, Philip glanced into the distance and said, “We need to stay off the main road. We don’t know the situation inside Cochly Mountain yet, so we can only walk from here.”
Hearing this, Janike’s face, which was red from the cold, went dark as favonovel.com said, “What? Do we need to go through the mountains? No way. It’s not a big deal if I just tell them that I brought you guys in.”
Philip turned to Janike and said, “If I told you that those people just now didn’t really intend to escort you to the stargate but wanted to kidnap you, would you believe me?”
Hearing that, Janike blinked favonovel.com big eyes and said in puzzlement, “How could they? This is Cochly Mountain. They wouldn’t dare.”
Philip smiled and said, “In the face of interests, nothing is impossible. You’re very important to Cochly Mountain. I’m sure many people want to catch hold of you to threaten Cochly Mountain.”
“But how do you know that they want to kidnap me?” Janike asked seriously.
For the first time, favonovel.com realized that people could be so evil.
“It’s simple…” Philip chuckled and said, “You’re very important to Cochly Mountain, but after hearing the news of your return, no one actually came to pick you up in person. Instead, these so-called guards wanted to bring you back. Don’t you think that it doesn’t make sense?”
Janike fell silent, and favonovel.com eyes dimmed. She did not want to believe it, but Philip had a point.
Fennel looked at favonovel.com and shook his head helplessly. At first glance, this girl was obviously inexperienced in the ways of the world and did not understand the darker side of human nature.
“Who do you think it is?” Fennel asked.
Philip frowned, thought about it, and said, “Maybe someone from the Lovelace family or the Nonagon. Anyway, we have to be on high alert.”
A moment later, Philip got up and said, “Let’s go.”
Then, the group walked along the mountains following the route in Fennel’s memory to the small main city in the depths.
At this moment, in a snow-covered building in the main city.
Owen Greene’s face was very ugly as favonovel.com stared at the electronic surveillance screen angrily.
On the screen, it showed the earlier scene where Philip impersonated a guard of Cochly Mountain and took Janike and the others across the defense lines.
“Search for them immediately! Be sure to find the guardian maiden’s whereabouts! Also, notify the five marquises that she’s back!” Owen said coldly as favonovel.com clenched his fists tightly.
He never imagined that someone could pass through so many lines of defense and enter the heart of Cochly Mountain unscathed!
