Hake Breaks Out of Prison

Walker's words as the captain silenced everyone.

It's important to understand that captains must be Advanced Sequence True Gods, meaning they must possess at least the Combat Strength of Seventh Sequence True God. If even such powerful beings perished in the beast tide triggered by the Fire Feather Phoenix Eagle, one can only imagine how slim the chances are for an Elementary Sequence True God like myself to survive.

"Where's Wei Lin? Didn't anyone notify him?" Walker asked, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

Wei Lin is the name of the Vice Captain who is currently guarding the dungeon.

"Vice Captain Wei Lin said he cannot leave his post without permission and must obtain your permission, Captain, before he can come out," said the squad leader who had just informed Wei Lin.

"Damn idiot, still trying to play tricks at a time like this! Tell Wei Lin to get up here right now!" Walker said angrily. "If he refuses, tell him he'll stay in the dungeon forever!"

The squad leader hesitated for a moment before dialing Wei Lin's communicator again.

"Put it on speakerphone, everyone listen together," Walker said to the squad leader.

The squad leader nodded and turned on the hands-free mode.

Inside the dungeon, Wei Lin, who was eating meat with his head down, saw the communicator ring again and pressed the answer button.

"What is it?" Wei Lin asked as he tore off a piece of meat.

Through the loudspeakers, everyone outside the castle could hear him chewing loudly.

"Vice Captain Wei Lin, please come up quickly, the captain is angry." The squad leader didn't dare to say the specifics. He could only say that the captain was angry.

"Getting angry? Let him vent for a while. I'll go up after he calms down," Wei Lin laughed loudly.

"Vice Captain Wei Lin, this beast tide is very serious, and everyone needs you." The squad leader immediately dared not mention the captain's affairs again, lest the other party say something that would displease the captain.

"Wait. You said everyone needs me. So, it wasn't Walker who told you to notify me? It was your own idea?" Wei Lin didn't realize that the other party was deliberately avoiding mentioning the captain to prevent him from making any further mistakes. "But what does your death have to do with me? I don't want to get scolded by that old guy again because of you."

"Old man? Which old man?" Walker's lips curled up slightly, but his smile looked rather sinister.

"Who else could it be? Walker, of course. He's clearly old but still tries to act young, putting on a face that makes him look like he's not even thirty. Shameless old man, he'll do anything to pick up girls. Last time at the bar, he met a pretty girl, just an ordinary person with no cultivation, and he shamelessly went up to her and said he was only twenty-six..."

Wei Lin's words caused Walker's lips to twitch slightly, and he also noticed that the way others looked at him had changed slightly.

"Wei Lin. Have you said enough?" Although he was furious inside, Walker calmly spoke without showing any emotion.

Wei Lin then realized that the other person was Walker. He also remembered that it was the same voice that had spoken to him just now, and he felt like crying.

"Captain, that's not what I meant, please let me explain..."

"Now, immediately, get up here and join the fight!" Walker had no intention of listening to any further excuses from him.

"Yes, yes, yes... I'll be right up!" Wei Lin Way of Sound trembling with tears.

The call had just ended. Wei Lin's burly figure appeared at the castle gate. He slowly walked towards Walker, keeping his head down the whole way, not daring to look at Walker's face.

"You'd better not disappoint me again with this beast tide," Walker said coldly, then ignored him.

In the dungeon, a Mechanical Fly quietly perched on the wall. Liliath had overheard the entire conversation between Wei Lin and the other party on the communicator through the Mechanical Fly. The moment Wei Lin vanished, Liliath also saw it through the Mechanical Fly's eyes, and she knew that Wei Lin wouldn't be returning anytime soon.

She looked around and then darted into the underground entrance.

Having previously controlled the patrol team to come here several times, she was very familiar with the route and appeared in front of the dungeon where Hake was being held in a few leaps.

"Hake, I'll open the door for you now. Try not to make any noise," Liliath Way of Sound to Hake through the crack in the door.

"Lily, is it really you?! You've changed so much, you're so tall now?!" Hake was overjoyed.

"Now is not the time for idle chatter. We can talk about this after we escape. I'm getting you out now," Liliath said, taking out the key she had stolen earlier and opening the cell door.

Seeing Hake, who looked much more haggard, up close, Liliath felt a slight pang of sadness, but she forced herself to hold it back and then helped him unlock the chains binding his body one by one.

She moved very quietly, afraid that someone outside with excellent hearing might hear her. But she still managed to completely remove the shackles from Hake in less than a minute.

"Follow me!" Liliath was initially worried that Hake's mobility had been weakened due to being imprisoned for so long, so she looked back every now and then. But as it turned out, her worries were unnecessary.

They led Hake out of the dungeon without any major problems.

"That's strange. Isn't there a Vice Captain guarding this dungeon?" Hake wondered.

"That guy is busy with other things... I'll explain the details after we escape." Liliath led Hake into a room on the first floor and hid behind a large table.

Although Hake followed him in, he was still somewhat puzzled. "Why hide here? It's easy to be discovered like this!"

"Don't rush, I have my own plan. Just do as I say." Liliath was very confident in her plan.

"Someone's approaching! And there are two of them!" Hake suddenly exclaimed.

"Don't worry, they're my people!" Liliath shook her head at him.

The two quickly turned the corner and entered the room.

Liliath swaggered out, Hake didn't even have time to stop her.

"You two, take off your clothes and hide under this table!"

Upon hearing this, the two began to undress in Hake's shock.

"You hypnotized these two guys?" Hake finally realized.

"Stop talking nonsense and change your clothes!" Liliath threw one of the clothes off one of them into Hake's arms. "Also, get rid of your hair and beard; you're too conspicuous like this."

Hake nodded, offering no rebuttal.

"By the time we've changed our clothes and gotten ready, the beast tide will be almost here. Then we'll blend into the group, fight the monsters with them, and then find a chance to escape!" (To be continued~^~)
