Whoosh!
As if it were only natural, the ten Knight Errants from the third squad atop the building immediately spurred their Nightmare Horses and charged straight down toward the chaotic Linyuan City below.
They seemed extremely familiar with the city. As they passed, they casually skirted several strategic strongholds, and with a wave of their hands, flames burst everywhere. Countless investigators and Executors were casually killed, before the riders headed straight for Jinshui Manor.
At the same time, the Living Copper Puppets stationed throughout Jinshui Manor bowed to the white-haired old man in the black robe. Then, all at once, they turned around, faced away from the manor and toward the various districts of the city, and suddenly opened their mouths.
