Chapter 193

Martin didn't react in time.

Rebecca had already stood in front of Leon and was blowing hard on his face.

"OK, four to one, unanimously approved."

Four to one?

Oh~~

Victor is included too, right?

The master is always so meticulous, never overlooking any detail.

"Master... what you say makes sense, but once I leave here, can you really handle the Empire?"

"Of course, the Empire's main target is you. If they find out that you have left the Empire, they will naturally not spend too much manpower and resources dealing with us. Since you are with the Dragon Race, their claws cannot reach you. They can only deal with you like they did with Constantine. But you also gave them a vivid lesson, proving that the title of the strongest Dragon Slayer is not just empty talk."

Tiger has always been confident in his apprentice's abilities. After all, in hundreds of years, only one super SSR has appeared. So what if he's a little bit more powerful?

"In short, if you go back to the Silver Dragons, it will be more efficient for you to ensure your own safety and gather intelligence than to stay with us in the Empire."

"I agree with Dad's idea," Rebecca said.

"I agree with Mr. Tiger," Martin chimed in.

Leon pursed his lips, unsure of what to do.

Tiger, seeing his protégé's reaction, knew that his words hadn't hit the mark and hadn't struck a chord with the brat.

Alright, since you're so stubborn, don't blame your teacher for being unkind and unjust.

"What's more... you can reunite with your wife."

Leon:?

"Is this... is this the point?! Am I that kind of person?! Rebecca, am I?!"

"If I had such a beautiful wife, I would also long to go home, Captain, don't hide it."

"Hey you!... Martin, tell me, do I look like the kind of person who prioritizes romance over friendship?"

Martin thought about it seriously for a moment and replied, "Captain, you have indeed reached the age where you're thinking about your wife. It's okay, there's nothing shameful about it."

"Nonsense! Ridiculous! I, Leon Casmod, am not the kind of person who would abandon my teammates to see my wife. Even if I am hunted down by the Empire, even if my wanted posters are plastered all over the streets, I will never leave you!"

"I'll take you out of the city tonight."

"Okay, thank you, Master!"

The original plan was to lay low for a while before sending Leon out of the city.

However, considering that his beloved disciple's wanted level may be far higher than the highest level, red, this attention is something that cannot be avoided for the time being.

Since that's the case, we have no choice but to act quickly and decisively. Before the Empire discovers that Victor has been killed, we should send Leon away from here tonight.

Martin, not wanting to appear in public, followed the path back into the city.

Leon, Tiger, and Rebecca then made their way to the city gates of the Empire.

It was late at night, and the rain was pouring down. Naturally, there were no caravans or carriages passing by to provide Leon with shelter.

Moreover, because of the battle at the church a few days ago, the Empire has already discovered Leon's whereabouts and will definitely strengthen patrols at the city gates. Even if he wanted to hide in the carriage again, he would probably be discovered.

Similarly, the towering city walls were impossible to climb over; if one were to take a detour, it would take at least a day and a night.

"How much money must it have cost to build such a long wall?" Rebecca's focus was always so strange.

The three of them lay on the roof of a low building, observing the situation at the city gate.

Not only were several patrol teams added here, but a cage was also placed on each side of the city gate, containing ferocious and dangerous creatures.

"Long-tailed Demon Ape," Rebecca recognized the dangerous species in the cage at a glance. "It's a very intelligent monster, more adept at teamwork than ordinary dangerous species, and its stamina and endurance are astonishing."

"Kid, Rebecca and I will create a disturbance at the city gate later. You can slip out during the chaos."

Tiger said, "But they will definitely send people to hunt you down again. Do you think your dad, Lin Jiuling, is confident he can escape?"

Leon's expression was serious. "There shouldn't be any problem. Even if I can't escape, I can always find my way back."

Tiger sighed. "Don't make it sound so easy, kid. If you can't escape and get back to the Empire, then it'll be practically impossible for you to get out again. We only have this one chance tonight."

Leon bit his lower lip, thought for a moment, and nodded. "I understand, Master."

"By the way, we also need to periodically exchange the information and intelligence we have. Do you have any thoughts on that?" Tiger asked.

Leon thought for a moment and said, "How about we go to the cave where you used to hide every three months, Master?"

"No problem."

It's unbelievable that even when things were almost at the final stage, his beloved wife, who lived in another city, was still playing a role.

After confirming the time for the intelligence exchange, Tiger said, "Rebecca, fire a few shots to serve them as an appetizer."

"No problem, Dad."

The crazy little girl loaded her two guns, stood on the roof of the low building, and fired several shots into the sky shrouded in dark clouds.

The gunshots and flashes of light immediately attracted the attention of the city gate guards.

"It's Red Notice fugitive Rebecca Clement! Arrest her!"

Hearing the guards shouting, Rebecca scoffed, "Just a few days ago I was your colleague, and now I'm a wanted criminal. Humph, I told you, loafing around in the patrol is the most dangerous thing!"

Tiger drew his katana and turned back to say, "Kid, take care."

"You too, Master. And Rebecca, you must protect yourselves."

"Okay, Captain, you can go find your wife without worry!"

Leon smiled helplessly and didn't refute anything further.

After a round of gunfire, Tiger and Rebecca jumped off the low building and engaged in a fight with the patrol team.

Magic clashed, swords flashed, bullets flew, and the scene quickly descended into chaos.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Leon bypassed the low building and slowly made his way towards the city gate.

At this moment, the massive city gate was tightly closed, and it would take at least four people working together to activate the mechanism to open it.

However, nearby, there was a special passage prepared specifically for members of the royal family.

Unable to open the main gate, Leon had to slip out through a special passage. (Shan)

There are still two guards at the entrance to that special passage.

Dealing with them wasn't difficult; the difficulty lay in swiftly evacuating afterward, without wasting a single second. (Alcohol)

Leon made his preparations, then slowly made his way towards the entrance of the special passage.

The two guards, armed with longswords and pistols at their waists, were intently watching the chaotic battlefield ahead, completely unaware of Leon's stealthy approach.

Leon, with a stooped posture, moved silently, slowly approaching from the side and rear.

Once close enough, Leon swiftly struck, delivering a chop to the back of one of the guards' neck, instantly knocking him unconscious. Wu

The other guard reacted quickly, raising his knife to strike Leon.

If you think you're naive, consider this: once, an imperial guard attempted to solo the strongest Dragon Slayer, General Leon, with a short sword.

Leon easily deflected the man's knife. The man, still unwilling to give up, drew his sidearm, but before he could aim, Leon delivered a powerful roundhouse kick that knocked him to the ground.

After quickly dealing with the guards, Leon took one last look at his master and Rebecca on the battlefield.

Take care.

After saying that, Leon quickly turned around and used a Thousand Birds attack to destroy the security door of the special passage.

He strode forward, charging all the way, and broke through the walls of the empire.

The guards, who were entangled with Tiger and Rebecca, also heard the commotion. By the time they turned around, Leon had already run far away.

"It's Casmod! Quick, after him! Release the Long-tailed Demon Ape, we must catch him!"

At his command, the cage opened, and the two demonic apes howled excitedly as they chased after Leon.

The torrential rain made the ground incredibly muddy, greatly slowing Leon's running speed.

But the Long-tailed Demon Ape is, after all, a beast, and running on four legs is no problem for it.

The two sides are getting closer and closer.

The howls of the demonic ape grew increasingly piercing, like a mockery of its soon-to-be-captured prey.

As Leon ran, he glanced back at the two monkeys, then raised his right hand, a faint crackling of lightning flashing in his palm.

The sky, which was covered with dark clouds, began to stir.

Thunder roared, and the next moment, a thick bolt of lightning struck down from the clouds, instantly turning the two demonic apes into horses.

After this move, Leon paused for a moment.

"Tch, the accumulation of Magic Power is still too slow..."

He muttered to himself, quickly adjusted his pace, and ran towards the mountains and forests ahead.

After passing through the mountains and forests ahead, leaping over several more mountains, and crossing a stretch of Gobi Desert, you will reach the border between human and Dragon Race territories.

It sounds simple, but in reality, even for someone like Leon, traveling non-stop would take at least half a month, given human walking speed.

Moreover, that was only after leaving human territory; it would take at least another ten days to return to the Silver Dragon Clan.

Leon calculated the time he would need to travel, ran to a tree, leaned against the trunk, and wiped the rain from his face.

"I'm suddenly a little envious of that Dragon Queen, that winged creature... she can fly away whenever she wants."

The Silver Dragon Clan, known for their speed, can complete this long journey in just three hours.

After a brief complaint, Leon strode off to continue his journey.

However, at that moment, the piercing howl of the demonic ape came from all directions.

Leon's heart tightened. "It seems the Empire was prepared..."

The leaves rustled, and the tree trunk creaked.

Leon cautiously observed his surroundings to avoid being ambushed by the cunning and dangerous species.

The eerie howls echoed through the rain.

The monsters were not in a hurry to attack, but instead wanted to wear down Leon's fighting spirit little by little.

Leon tried to gather his Magic Power, but the electricity in his hand flickered twice before going out.

"Roar!!"

Seemingly realizing that its prey could no longer use magic, a Long-tailed Demon Ape pounced on Leon from the flank like a ghost.

Leon reacted quickly. The instant the monster pounced, he bent over in a lunge and delivered a powerful jab that landed squarely on the demonic ape's abdomen.

The demon ape cried out in pain, and Leon seized the opportunity to grab its tail with both hands and at the same time stomp on its lower leg, breaking it.

The demonic ape howled on the ground, clutching its shattered leg, and its howls attracted several more demonic apes.

They fell like raindrops, one after another, around Leon, completely surrounding him.

Leon estimated there were at least forty.

"Damn, we've really stirred up a hornet's nest."

Unlike other dangerous species, the Long-tailed Demon Ape are more adept at teamwork and tactics.

Leon was well aware of this, so he had no intention of wasting time with them.

Moreover, the imperial pursuers should be arriving soon, so he simply cannot afford to fight a war of attrition here.

We must escape as soon as possible.

Leon observed the group of monkeys, and the next moment, his gaze locked onto one of them. He then pushed off the ground with his right foot, splashing mud and rainwater, and ran towards the demonic ape.

Before the demonic apes could react, Leon stormed in.

"Awooo!! Roar!"

"Aww!!"

The strange cries continued incessantly, a mixture of excitement, pain, triumph, threat, and intimidation...
