"Put out the fire!"
The captain of the Temple of the War God's elite knights roared.
The knights behind him rushed toward the blaze.
Rather than using the traditional method of putting out fires with water, they used the longswords in their hands to cut apart the burning buildings while throwing sand and dirt over the flames.
The blades swept across the burning walls, and sand immediately covered them.
A few minutes later, the fire was extinguished.
The source of the fire was found as well.
Along with it, they found two corpses.
The bodies had been burned beyond recognition, but the captain could still identify one of them as Aituolin.
Because some traits were simply too familiar.
Even being charred would not change them.
For example, the residual power within the body.
Thus, he easily determined where the other corpse had come from.
The Temple of the War God's sworn enemy: the Silent Night Secret Society!
With a grim expression and killing intent in his eyes, the elite knight captain waved his hand, signaling his men to carry away the two corpses. After giving the patrol a slight nod, he headed straight for the cathedral.
From beginning to end, aside from sizing each other up with their eyes, neither side exchanged a single word.
It was as though they were both following certain rules.
As the patrol captain watched the Temple of the War God's elite knight squad leave, he made a hand signal toward the shadows.
At once, the spies split into three groups.
One headed for the royal palace.
One quietly followed them.
The last group gathered clues.
After leaving people behind to protect the scene, the patrol soon restored calm to the area, as though nothing had happened.
Except for that patch of scorched earth.
